Theatricality as the Protean Experience in Hybridised Forms of Contemporary Art
Authors: Chaberski Mateusz
Published: December 2020

This paper puts forward a model of theatricality as the protean experience in hybridized forms of contemporary art. The author focuses on artistic events that fuse not only different artistic media but also scientific and political discourses and practices of designing new technologies. In the first part of the article, the author employs the theoretical findings of the German art theorist Juliane Rebentisch to critically examine the concept of theatricality as establishing a hierarchical relation between human subjects and non-human objects of aesthetic experience (Fried). As Rebentisch succinctly observes, the theatricality of installation art becomes an open space of experience in which experimental relations between subjects and objects emerge without any pre-established hierarchy. In the second part of the article, the author problematizes the question of spectatorial experience by referring to new materialist philosophies (Barad, DeLanda, Sabolius) which posit a non-anthropocentric model of experience as an assemblage of different human and non-human elements. From this perspective, the author formulates a concept of theatricality as the protean experience which entails the constant change of status of all human and non-human participants of the artistic events. Theoretical findings are illustrated not only by analyses of particular artistic strategies but rather by experiences of participants in contemporary installation art.

Wargames for training future managers
Authors: Bourguilleau  , Lépinard  , Wojtowicz
Published: December 2020

im Dunnigan, a famous game designer, once described wargames as « the hobby of the overeducated » (Dunnigan, 2000). It is and was, from its early beginnings – a tool for representing complex problems with moving elements. It championed decision-making despite overwhelming amount of data on troops, terrain and tactics. As Barritt pointed out studies are rarely focused on the value of experience instead of the value of concept (Barritt, 1986). This article aims to bridge that gap and showcase experiences from two domains applying wargaming in teaching. Training through games highlights experience as a method and the outcome leading to raised managerial competence.
Wissen Macht Stadt

Reallabore gewinnen in der Forschung stetig an Aufmerksamkeit und werden als ein vielversprechendes Instrumentarium betrachtet, das im Sinne eines transdisziplinären Ansatzes gemeinsam mit Akteur_innen aus Zivilgesellschaft, Politik, Verwaltung und Wirtschaft ‚realweltliche‘ Herausforderungen in Städten verstehen und lösen will. Allerdings stellt die Erforschung von sozialen Prozessen in Reallaboren noch Neuland dar, auf dem noch viele offene Fragen besonders hinsichtlich der gemeinsamen Wissensproduktion auszuhandeln sind. Am Beispiel eines konkreten Forschungsprojektes zur kooperativen Freiraumentwicklung in Ankunftsquartieren fragen wir für die kritische Stadtforschung, mit welchen theoretischen Vorannahmen, in welchen Machtkonstellationen und mit welchen Zielsetzungen Wissen in Reallaboren produziert wird. Diese Fragen diskutieren wir anhand der Debatten um eine kritische Wissensproduktion und die Gerechte Stadt. Der Artikel zeigt auf, dass Reallabore zwar stark in bestimmten förderpolitischen Strukturen verhaftet sind und damit die Gefahr der politischen Vereinnahmung besteht, sich aber dennoch Chancen eröffnen, mit ihnen zu einer kritischen Wissensproduktion und einer gerechten Stadtentwicklung beizutragen.
Die Logik des Ausbruchs
Authors: Füller Henning , Dzudzek Iris
Published: December 2020

Die unzähligen und weitreichenden Bezüge der gesellschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit der Covid-19-Infektion stehen nun schon einige Zeit im Zentrum sozialwissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Ergänzend zu prägnanten unmittelbaren Diagnosen der Effekte und Blindstellen bei der Bewältigung richten wir das Augenmerk auf strukturelle Einstellungen im Vorfeld der Pandemie. Die aktuelle Krise entfaltet sich teils in der Realisierung solcher Voreinstellungen. Mit der kritischen Sozialepidemiologie führen wir eine Perspektive ein, die darauf verweist, dass Gesundheit eine soziale Frage ist. Mit Hilfe der Perspektive des worldings verfolgen wir, wie bestimmte Logiken und Regierungsweisen der Krise sich im Moment der Krise materiell entfalten, dabei an Kontexte angepasst werden, sich verändern und dabei ganz konkrete Welten der Krisenbewältigung erschaffen. Unter der Klammer „Logik des Ausbruchs“ zeigen wir die Verschränkung von zwei Momenten – die Klassifikation als Feind sowie die Zurichtung als Sicherheitsproblem – die richtungsweisend für die gesellschaftliche Interaktion mit dem neuartigen Virus sind. In dem wir die aktuelle Bearbeitungsweise der Krise als eine strukturell voreingestellte, machtgeladene, aber letzten Endes nur eine von vielen anderen möglichen dekonstruieren, öffnen wir den Blick für Bedingungen einer solidarischen Politik des Lebens, die wir abschließend knapp skizzieren. Damit liefert der Artikel einen Beitrag zu einer Geographie der Gesundheit, die im Sinne einer Sozialepidemiologie zweiter Ordnung nicht nach der Verbreitung und Bekämpfung von Viren und Seuchen fragt, sondern nach den Topologien der Macht, die den Ausbruch strukturieren.
Dialektische Methodologie vor dem Hintergrund planetarischer Urbanisierung
Authors: Berfelde Rabea
Published: December 2020

New Urban Spaces, die jüngste Monografie von Neil Brenner, ist eine anspruchsvolle Lektüre, die, so schlägt die Rezension vor, auf zweierlei Weise gelesen werden kann. Zum einen kann man durch Brenners Ausführungen die sich seit der Weltwirtschaftskrise der 1970er Jahre und dem Ende des fordistisch-keynesianischen Akkumulationsregimes kontinuierlich verändernde kapitalistische Raumproduktion nachvollziehen. Sein Buch fasst dabei sowohl die wichtigsten Mainstream-Theoretisierungen als auch die kritischen Debatten zusammen, welche diese Veränderung begleiteten. Zum anderen lässt sich New Urban Spaces auch als Exegese der Dialektik als Methodologie der kritischen Stadtforschung lesen und verstehen.
Students’ Perception on taught Theories and Clinical Practice in Nursing Education Training
Authors: Feti Kisiata Julien , Şen Hatice
Published: December 2020

Theory and practice are two important components of nursing education. When knowledge acquired in theory translates into practice, effective learning takes place in nursing education. However, research shows that there is a gap between theory and practice. This study was conducted to find out if there is a connection between theories taught in the classroom and the practice of nursing. Qualitative phenomenological design and one-on-one semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data in this study. Four main themes were identified in the study: "Nursing education, theory-practice gap in nursing education if any, reasons for the theory-practice gap in nursing education and suggestions for bridging the theory-practice gap in nursing education ". Twelve out of sixteen students, or seventy-five percent, explained that there was no balance between theory and practice in nursing education. This imbalance explains the notion of a gap between theory and practice in nursing education. Students showed the complexity of the theoretical teaching environment compared to the clinical learning environment. Indeed, these environments have an impact on the learning experience of nursing students. To bridge this gap, many students suggested balancing theory and practice, supporting them more with clinical teaching, and the desirability of solving the language barrier issue between students, theory teachers and others clinical professors. As a result of this study on the gap between theory and practice in nursing education, the qualitative design used in this paper provided new and rich data on the quality of education, the reasons and the solution regarding the Gaps in theory and practice in nursing education at the University of the Near East in North Cyprus. The results of this study would contribute to the revision of the nursing education program of this university. This is the first study in the Republic of Northern Cyprus to examine the gap between theory and practice.

Conclusion: The complex anatomy of the facial bones requires MDCT and 3D CT which offers excellent spatial resolution, and helpful in the accurate diagnosis of the maxillofacial fractures their exact site, number, and associated injuries, and surgical planning.
Ameliorative effects of Spinacia oleracea on sperm morphology, count, and motility by normalizing the obesity-induced oxidative stress in Sprague Dawley rats
Authors: Iqbal Somia , Sadiq Noman , Siddiqui Saad , Iqbal Hira
Published: December 2020

Background: Obesity is a prevailing metabolic disorder that affects the functioning of the male reproductive system. Excessive adipose tissue enhances reactive oxygen species generation and is linked with male infertility. Spinach has demonstrated antioxidant effects. The present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant effects of spinach on sperm parameters in obese Sprague Dawley rats.

Subjects and methods: This randomized control study was conducted at the animal house of the National Institute of Health Islamabad, Islamic International Medical College, Cosmesurge International Hospital, Rawalpindi, and Apollo lab, Islamabad, Pakistan from April 2016 to March 2017. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats having an age of 8 weeks and weight 160-200g were tagged from number 1 to 40. Every third rat was randomly allocated to control Group A (n=13) and remaining into the Experimental group (n=27). Rats of control Group A was given a standard diet while a high-fat diet was given to Experimental group rats to induce obesity for the duration of six weeks. Weight (g) was measured weekly and obesity was confirmed when rats attain more than 20% weight when compared with that of rats of control Group A. Then, after obesity induction, the experimental group was alienated into the obesity control group (Group B) and spinach treated group (Group C). For sample, rats of Group A and Group B were sacrificed, and the cauda epididymis of each rat was placed in a Petri dish containing normal saline and cut into pieces to allow the release of sperm and then sperm parameters (sperms concentration, motility, and morphology) were recorded under the microscope. Then, spinach (5% hot water extract) along with the persistence of fat diet was administered to Group C for 4 weeks and finally, sperm parameters were measured in this group.

Results: Sperm concentration/ml, motility (%), and normal morphology (%) of Group B rats were significantly decreased as compared to Group A rats. However, sperm concentration/ml, motility (%), and normal morphology (%) of Group C (spinach treated group) rats was significantly increased (p<0.001) as compared to Group B (obesity control group) rats after administering spinach.

Conclusion: The addition of Spinach in a normal diet regimen restores normal sperm morphology, improves sperm motility and concentration.
Modelling the subsurface flow component in the runoff recession phase by means of a linear and non-linear reservoir models
Authors: Stehlík Jiří
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with the time variability of the subsurface water storage depletion. The analysis was carried out in a small experimental basin in the Jizera Mountains, Czech Republic. The research focused on the hydro graph falling limbs - recession curves - which were selected from daily runoff series using various selection criteria. These criteria include a requirement that a curve should represent subsurface flow which is not increased by surface runoff. The selected measured recession curves are modelled by means of the exponential and hyperbolical law of depletion. The time variability of the recession curves is quantified by the variability of the modelled recession parameters. 22 variables representing antecedent climate and runoff conditions as well as the conditions during the recession period were defined for the examination of possible causing factors of the recession curve time variability. The correlation analysis and the multivariate statistical methods were applied.

A Cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum spp.) é uma cultura de grande importância no cenário brasileiro, o seu manejo influencia diretamente nos atributos do solo, independente do sistema de cultivo, seja ele convencional ou orgânico. O sistema, bem como o cultivo podem alterar as frações de carbono no solo, que pode ser avaliada e monitorada através do acumulo de carbono ou de suas frações contidas na matéria orgânica, uma vez que diversas funções e processos físicos, químicos e biológicos que acontecem no solo têm relação direta com a matéria orgânica. Objetivou-se com este trabalho verificar os teores do carbono orgânico total (COT), das frações oxidáveis e do carbono da biomassa microbiana presentes nos solos manejados com diferentes sistemas de cultivo em Goianésia. Avaliou-se os sistemas convencional e orgânico, com e sem aplicação de vinhaça em três idades de corte (2º, 4º e 6º cortes). O manejo do cultivo de cana-de-açúcar em sistema orgânico contribui para o incremento dos teores de carbono orgânico total do solo e o carbono da biomassa microbiana. O uso de vinhaça é uma prática que incrementa carbono orgânico nos solos sob cultivo de cana-de-açúcar. A idade de corte não apresenta relação linear nos teores de carbono total e das frações analisadas

Nos próximos anos com a explosão demográfica global, a população mundial em 2050 deverá atingir o patamar de nove bilhões e meio de pessoas segundo a FAO (Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e a Agricultura). O Brasil tem uma vocação especial para a agropecuária, em razões das condições climáticas, disponibilidade de água e extensão territorial. É preciso antecipar e se preparar para a demanda de alimentos que virá, e com o esvaziamento do campo nas últimas décadas há a preocupação com a mão de obra no campo para os anos futuros. A presente pesquisa foi realizada com jovens rurais de 15 a 24 anos do ensino médio no município de Goianésia, estado de Goiás. Foram entrevistados 10 rapazes e 10 moças com um questionário de entrevista semiestruturadas, foram obtidas respostas as perguntas abertas e fechadas, onde se procurou saber se há ou não incentivo da família em seguir nas atividades agrícolas, quais fatores são favoráveis e desfavoráveis à permanência no campo, quais sonhos a anseios dos jovens para o futuro de suas vidas, dentre outras perguntas. Na pesquisa constatou-se que 70% dos rapazes que vivem na zona rural não pretendem seguir nas atividades agrícolas e o índice entre as mulheres foi ainda maior, 90%, o que evidenciou o processo de masculinização da zona rural. Ficou evidente ainda que a família na sua maioria não incentiva os jovens a permanecerem nas atividades do campo, ao contrário, os motivam a seguir uma profissão mais lucrativa e menos penosa do que o trabalho que é realizado no campo. Foi constatado que 30% dentre estes poderá seguir nas atividades se houver melhor renda e mais entretenimento e tecnologia no campo.

O nitrogênio é o nutriente principal para garantir produtividade de forrageiras, pois está envolvido na formação de proteínas, cloroplastos e compostos que estão ativos nas sínteses dos compostos orgânicos, que constituem as estruturas vegetais. Objetivou-se com o presente estudo avaliar características estruturais e produtivas das cultivares BRS Quênia e BRS Tamani submetidas a duas doses de nitrogênio. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 (duas cultivares e duas doses) com quatro repetições. Foram realizados quatro cortes consecutivos durante verão e foram utilizadas duas cultivares do gênero Panicum maximum (Tamani e Quênia), que receberam doses de nitrogênio de 200 ou 300 kg de N ha -1. Foram avaliadas as variáveis número de perfilhos /m² (NP/m²), folhas por perfilho (FPP), massa fresca (MF) e massa seca (MS), produção de massa fresca total t ha-1 (MFT), massa seca total t ha-1 (MST). Houve interação significativa entre as cultivares e os tratamentos (Tabela 3). Na avaliação dos cultivares de Panicum maximum a cv. Tamani apresentou médias superiores ao cv. Quênia em todos os quesitos (Número de perfilhos /m² (NP/m²), folhas por perfilho (FPP). Quando se utilizou a dose 200 kg N/ha-1, a cultivar Quênia apresentou médias superiores as da cv. Tamani em relação às variáveis massa fresca e produção de massa fresca total t ha-1. Em relação a análise da massa seca, e MS% não houve diferença entre os tratamentos de 200 ou 300 kg de N ha -1. A dose de 300 kg N ha-1 promoveu maior produção nas cultivares e variáveis analisadas. A cultivar Quênia foi mais responsiva nos quesitos matéria fresca (MF) e matéria seca (MS) em relação ao Tamani.

RESUMO

Anacardium humile é uma espécie perene da família Anacardiaceae, nativa do cerrado. O produto do cajueiro de maior interesse comercial é a castanha tostada do caju. O fruto e pseudofruto de A. humile possuem grande importância alimentar, industrial, medicinal e econômica. No entanto, a exploração comercial depende de um sistema eficiente de produção de mudas, no qual um dos aspectos mais importante é o substrato. Dessa maneira, com o presente trabalho objetivou-se realizar a avaliação do desenvolvimento inicial de sementes de caju em diferentes substratos. O experimento foi conduzido em estufa de plantio, o delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos por diferentes substratos: T1 - areia; T2 - solo; T3 - substrato comercial (Tropstrato®); T4 - Solo e esterco (3:1); T5 - Solo, areia e esterco (2:1:1). Foram avaliadas as características: número de folhas, altura de parte aérea, porcentagem de emergência, diâmetro do colo e dias até a germinação. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Observou-se diferenças significativas para a porcentagem de emergência e dias até a germinação. Já os caracteres altura da parte aérea, diâmetro e número de folhas não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas para os diferentes substratos avaliados. Os dias necessários para a germinação e a redução da taxa de germinação pode ter sido ocasionada pelo longo período de armazenamento (18 meses). A utilização de areia e substrato promoveram uma maior taxa de germinação, possivelmente ocasionado pela maior aeração desses tipos de substratos. O substrato comercial possui carga nutritiva excelentes para o bom desenvolvimento de plântulas, no entanto o substrato comercial apresenta um custo elevado quando comparado ao custo dos demais substratos. Sendo assim, a areia é devido ao melhor custo benefício em comparação ao substrato comercial.

Authors: Ritter Catarina , Raposeiro Pedro , Gonçalves Vítor
Published: December 2020

Here, we present the data obtained from the samples collected in a field campaign during the spring of 2015 which aims for a better understanding of the diversity and distribution patterns of freshwater diatoms in Madeira Island. Following European and Portuguese standards and recommendations for routine diatom sampling and analysis, we collected samples in 40 sites, distributed in 27 permanent streams and identified the diatom species present, using general diatom floras and studies in Portuguese freshwater diatoms.

Little is known about the diversity and distribution of freshwater diatom assemblages from Madeira Archipelago. This study reports a survey in 40 sites in Madeira Island distributed in 27 permanent streams. A total of 965 diatom (Bacillariophyta) occurrences were recorded, belonging to 130 different taxa from 44 genera and 27 families. The families with the highest number of occurrences were Bacillariaceae (176), Achnanthidiaceae (135) and Naviculaceae (133). The two diatom endemisms, described previously in Madeira Island (Lange-Bertalot 1993), Nitzschia macaronesica Lange-Bertalot and Navicula madeirensis Lange-Bertalot, were only observed in a small number of sites, located mostly at Laurissilva forest. Sixty species are new records, not only to Madeira Island, but also to the Madeira Archipelago.

Published: December 2020

The systematics and taxonomy of the tropical Asian jumping spiders of the tribe Baviini is reviewed, with a molecular phylogenetic study (UCE sequence capture, traditional Sanger sequencing) guiding a reclassification of the group’s genera. The well-studied members of the group are placed into six genera:BaviaSimon, 1877,IndopadillaCaleb & Sankaran, 2019,PadillothoraxSimon, 1901,PiranthusThorell, 1895,StagetillusSimon, 1885, and one new genus,MaripanthusMaddison,gen. nov.The identity ofPadillothoraxis clarified, andBavirectaKanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018 synonymized with it.HyctiotaStrand, 1911 is synonymized withStagetillus. The molecular phylogeny divides the baviines into three clades, thePiranthusclade with a long embolus (Piranthus,Maripanthus), the genusPadillothoraxwith a flat body and short embolus, and theBaviaclade with a higher body and (usually) short embolus (remaining genera). In general, morphological synapomorphies support or extend the molecularly delimited groups. Eighteen new species are described:Bavia nessagyna,Indopadilla bamilin,I. kodagura,I. nesinor,I. redunca,I. redynis,I. sabivia,I. vimedaba,Maripanthus draconis(type species ofMaripanthus),M. jubatus,M. reinholdae,Padillothorax badut,P. mulu,Piranthus api,P. bakau,P. kohi,P. mandai, andStagetillus irri, allsp. nov., with taxonomic authority W. Maddison. The distinctions between baviines and the astioidNungiaŻabka, 1985 are reviewed, leading to four species being moved intoNungiafromBaviaand other genera. Fifteen new combinations are established:Bavia maurerae(Freudenschuss & Seiter, 2016),Indopadilla annamita(Simon, 1903),I. kahariana(Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold, 2013),I. sonsorol(Berry, Beatty & Prószyński, 1997),I. suhartoi(Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold, 2013),Maripanthus menghaiensis(Cao & Li, 2016),M. smedleyi(Reimoser, 1929),Nungia hatamensis(Thorell, 1881),N. modesta(Keyserling, 1883),N. papakula(Strand, 1911),N. xiaolonghaensis(Cao & Li, 2016),Padillothorax casteti(Simon, 1900),P. exilis(Cao & Li, 2016),P. flavopunctus(Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018),Stagetillus banda(Strand, 1911), allcomb. nov.One combination is restored,Bavia capistrata(C. L. Koch, 1846). Five of these new or restored combinations correct previous errors of placing species in genera that have superficially similar palps but extremely different body forms, in fact belonging in distantly related tribes, emphasizing that the general shape of male palps should be used with caution in determining relationships. A little-studied genus,PadillothorusPrószyński, 2018, is tentatively assigned to the Baviini.LigdusThorell, 1895 is assigned to the Ballini.

Published: December 2020

The introduction of Ludwigia helminthorrhiza (Mart.) H.Hara (Onagraceae) into Cuba, by an unknown route, as well as its successful naturalization and sustained increase in its area of occupation for over 40 years is here confirmed. The importance of the quantity and quality of its diasporas for dispersal and establishment in new territories is discussed, as well as the effectiveness of the dispersal agents. The negative impacts (difficulties in the management of aquariums, sedimentation, blocking of light entry, reduction of oxygen exchange, and displacement of native species) and the positive impacts (food for fauna and bacteria housing that reduce pollution) of the introduction of this species were identified. An alert is issued regarding the possible expansion of this species to new freshwater reservoirs in the country.
L’aventure libyenne et ses vécus politiques et sécuritaires pour les migrants maliens
Authors: Sylla Almamy
Published: December 2020

Cet article décrit et analyse l’historicité des expulsions des Maliens de Libye, à partir de la seconde moitié des années 1980, et l’instrumentalisation des enjeux migratoires dans les politiques économiques et sécuritaires nationales et interrégionales à partir des perceptions et des perspectives des rapatriés. Il démontre comment la fabrique des rapatriés, une catégorie de migrants de retour au pays, participe à la complexité de la situation contemporaine au Mali. Il souligne aussi comment, au tournant des années 2000, l’Union européenne a contribué à renforcer ce processus. L’article s’appuie sur des données issues d’entretiens réalisés avec des rapatriés maliens de Libye et avec des officiels maliens impliqués dans la gestion des migrations, ainsi que sur des débats radiophoniques et des conférences de presse sur le rapatriement et la crise migratoire en Libye. L’article contribue aux débats sur les parcours des migrants, souvent marqués par la violence, l’insécurité, la stigmatisation et l’exclusion.

Authors: Kalita Kanak , Ghadai Ranjan Kumar , Shinde Dinesh S. , Gao Xiao-Zhi
Published: December 2020

In this research, a data-driven approach to metamodeling of manufacturing/machining processes is developed. Instead of the conventionally used second-order polynomial regression metamodels, a non-predefined form-free approach is discussed. The highly adaptive metamodeling strategy, called symbolic regression, is carried out by using genetic programming. A central composite design based experimental dataset on electric discharge machining is used as the training and the testing data. Four different process parameters namely (voltage, pulse on time, pulse off time, and current) are used as the independent parameters to quantify three different responses (material removal rate, electrode wear rate, and surface roughness). The performance of the metamodels are evaluated by using various statistical metrics like R2, MAE, MSE. The performance of the metamodels on the training and testing data is found to be adequate for all the responses.
Parametric Optimization of Electrochemical Discharge Machining Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Debroy Arindam
Published: December 2020

It is very important to select the optimal parametric values for various non-traditional machining processes (NTM) for improving their performance. The performance measures of NTM processes include material removal rate (MRR), radial overcut (ROC), heat affected zone (HAZ), etc. In this chapter, particle swarm optimization has been used to find out the optimal parametric settings for electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) to improve its performance measure. Both single-objective as well as multi-objective optimization has been performed and the results have been compared with those obtained by other researchers.

Published: December 2020

AbstractThe offshore wind industry in the United States is gaining strong momentum to achieve sustainable energy goals, and the need for observations to provide resource characterization and model validation is greater than ever. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
operates two lidar buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in order to collect hub height wind data and associated meteorological and oceanographic information near the surface in areas of interest for offshore wind development. This work evaluates the performance of commonly used reanalysis
products and spatial approximation techniques using lidar buoy observations off the coast of New Jersey and Virginia, USA. Reanalysis products are essential tools for setting performance expectations and quantifying the wind resource variability at a given site. Long-term accurate observations
at typical wind turbine hub heights have been lacking at offshore locations. Using wind speed observations from both lidar buoy deployments, biases and degrees of correspondence for the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications-2 (MERRA-2), the North American Regional
Reanalysis (NARR), ERA5, and the analysis system of the Rapid Refresh (RAP) are examined both at hub height and near the surface. Results provide insights on the performance and uncertainty of using reanalysis products for long-term wind resource characterization. A slow bias is seen across
the reanalyses at both deployment sites. Bias magnitudes near the surface are on the order of 0.5 m s−1 greater than their hub height counterparts. RAP and ERA5 produce the highest correlations with the observations, around 0.9, followed by MERRA-2 and NARR.
From Emerging to Developed Market: The Neoinstitutional Approach Based on the Case of Poland
Authors: Derkacz Arkadiusz Jan
Published: December 2020

Background. The issue of economic growth is still an important area of economic research. This topic is crucial for the economic sciences as well as for economic policy practice. Let this statement be the most important assumption in this arti­cle. Everything that happens in the economy concerns socio-economic phenomena. The main scientific problem comes down to the question of what is the role of in­stitutional factors in the socio-economic development of Poland? Research aims. The author set himself two main aims. The first aim is an at­tempt to present institutional determinants that affect the socio-economic devel­opment of the Polish economy. The second is an attempt to present the devel­opment of the Polish economy by setting it against the background of selected European countries. Methodology. This work uses a modified taxonomic development measure meth­od based on the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The research was embedded in the current of new institutional eco­nomics. The concept of the institutional matrix was also used. Key findings. Analyses conducted have facilitated the creation of an overview of the socio-economic development of the Polish economy. This was illustrated by the average socio-economic development index (ASEDI). Taxonomic measures of development were also calculated for all 10 of the economies analyzed. The main research time horizon is 2008–2018. Part of the collected data enabled anal­ysis of the period 1995–2018. The results of research and analyses have shown that selected institutional factors significantly affect the final level and quality of socio-economic development of Poland in comparison with selected European countries.

Published: December 2020

Academic performance between disabling hearing loss (DHL) and hearing students is unclear when considering students in the same classroom. The main objective of this study is to identify significant differences in grade by semester between DHL students who study in the same classroom supported by sign language interprets. Second, this study looks to identify what school subjects show significant differences between DHL and hearing students. N= 35 upper-secondary students from a Mexican school with an inclusive educational methodology (deaf and hearings share the same classroom supported by an interpreter) participated in the study (M = 17; SD = 2.2), n = 21 disabling hearing loss students (52% males) and n = 14 hearing students were followed during three years (six semesters). The first step was to obtain the previous grade earned in their low-secondary studies. Second, we got the overall rate by semester identifying grades by subject and comparing results between groups. Results indicated significant differences in academic performance, showing higher mastery for DHL students in the fourth and fifth semesters, particularly in computer-logical subjects and social subjects. In conclusion, this research provides evidence that supports the success of an inclusive methodology where DHL and hearing students share the same instructional design supported by a sign language interpreter. Additionally, DHL students performed better in the computer-logical subjects, an important skill daily but even more in the current COVID -19 crisis, as well as a social subject, an important factor suggested by prior evidence.
