Protoparentesco, homologia, isomorfia: transições intercategoriais na teoria crítica de Adorno
Authors: Pucciarelli Daniel , Fleck Amaro
Published: November 2019

A partir de uma passagem célebre da Dialética negativa de Adorno, segundo a qual haveria uma relação de parentesco originário ou de protoparentesco (urverwandt) entre princípio de troca e princípio de identificação, o presente artigo busca refletir sobre as transições intercategoriais da teoria crítica adorniana, como, exemplarmente, aquelas entre teoria do conhecimento e teoria social. Após discutir algumas formas de caracterização dessas transições, o artigo problematiza os seus fundamentos e limites.
Morte e vida clandestina: fronteiras raciais e a questão dos refugiados na filosofia contemporânea
Authors: Reis Diego Dos Santos
Published: November 2019

A questão dos refugiados e dos apátridas não cessou de ser tematizada na filosofia contemporânea. Pensadores como Arendt, Foucault, Mbembe e Agamben refletiram em alguns de seus escritos sobre as tensões geradas pela emergência da figura do imigrante na política global. A contínua expansão dos fluxos migratórios é hoje uma realidade mundial, bem como as tensões advindas das políticas de contenção a determinados fluxos, com o fechamento das fronteiras, o “deixar morrer” à deriva em mares internacionais, ou a recusa da entrada e permanência de refugiados de guerras e de conflitos políticos. De outro lado, com o recrudescimento do terrorismo transnacional e com a construção discursiva da ameaça islâmica – pós-11 de setembro de 2001 –, as migrações passam a ser encaradas como ameaças permanentes ligadas ao terror. O crescente nacionalismo identitário e o reforço das fronteiras parecem se contrapor, todavia, ao discurso da globalização e do neoliberalismo, que se apresentavam como a promessa de dissipação das fronteiras nos blocos regionais em prol dos acordos de livre circulação. Nesse cenário de busca por asilo e refúgio, novos desafios, impasses e questões se impõem à reflexão filosófica e ao Direito Internacional, altamente fundamentado em uma concepção estadocêntrica. Este ensaio tem por objetivo analisar filosoficamente o problema contemporâneo do refúgio atrelado à questão dos terrorismos globais e das fronteiras raciais, a partir de algumas considerações elaboradas por pensadores contemporâneos.
Análise de textos de divulgação científica sobre genética inseridos em livros didáticos de biologia
Authors: Miceli Bruna Sarpa , Rocha Marcelo Borges
Published: November 2019

Este artigo apresenta a relação da divulgação científica (DC) juntamente com a genética e os livros didáticos (LDs). Foi questionado que alterações ocorrem nos textos de DC quando estes são inseridos nos LDs de Biologia e que implicações essas alterações podem provocar no entendimento sobre ciência. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as possíveis modificações realizadas no LD em relação às suas fontes originais. Uma coleção de LD de Biologia do Ensino Médio foi selecionada e sete textos foram analisados de acordo com as categorias de reelaboração discursiva, natureza da ciência, linguagem e grau de hibridez dos textos do LD. Os resultados indicaram que a exclusão foi o elemento mais frequente durante a reelaboração discursiva, apesar dos textos contribuírem para uma visão de natureza da ciência e apresentarem recursos linguísticos que facilitam a compreensão do leitor representando recursos importantes para serem utilizados no ensino.
Textos de divulgação científica da revista Ciência Hoje online: potencial para discussão de aspectos da natureza da ciência
Authors: De Paiva Diniz Natália , Rezende Junior Mikael Frank
Published: November 2019

Este artigo busca identificar características relacionadas à Natureza da Ciência em textos de divulgação científica da revista Ciência Hoje online, a fim de verificar se estes podem ser um potencial recurso na discussão dessa temática no ensino de ciências. Foram selecionados artigos das áreas de química, física e ciências biológicas, no período de janeiro de 2014 a abril de 2016, totalizando nove textos, que foram analisados por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva. Para a análise do corpus, foram adotados como referencial teórico os estudos sobre epistemologia da ciência. Foi possível a identificação de cinco dimensões (categorias) sobre a construção do conhecimento nos textos analisados: teórico-metodológica; motivacional; resultante; histórico-temporal; e social e coletiva. Apesar de apresentarem alguns estereótipos sobre a ciência, os resultados indicam que tais textos podem ser utilizados como recurso didático na abordagem de características da Natureza da Ciência.
Os projetos de iniciação na docência: um olhar para o professor-supervisor
Authors: Toledo Duarte Franciane Cristina , Quadros Ana Luiza De
Published: November 2019

Uma vez que a construção dos conhecimentos profissionais é evolutiva e progressiva, a inserção de professores em um processo de formação continuada é essencial para a melhoria da prática docente. Os projetos de interação Universidade-Escola contam com a participação do professor-supervisor, mas as investigações envolvendo esse sujeito ainda estão pouco presentes na literatura. Desenvolvemos este trabalho com o objetivo de analisar as ações e o discurso desses professores e, ainda, a possível influência do projeto PIBID/Química na prática de uma amostra de professores. Para isso, selecionamos duas professoras, analisamos as aulas que desenvolvem nas escolas e realizamos entrevista. Observamos práticas embasadas em saberes da experiência, contradições entre os enunciados que fizeram e as ações que desenvolveram em sala de aula, tensões entre o normativo e o subjetivo e, ainda, possibilidades de tornar as contribuições oriundas da participação no projeto PIBID ainda mais significativas.
A study of synthetic 13CH4 retrievals from TROPOMI and Sentinel-5/UVNS
Authors: Malina Edward , Hu Haili , Landgraf Jochen , Veihelmann Ben
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Retrievals of methane isotopologues have the potential to differentiate between natural and anthropogenic methane sources types, which can provide much needed information about the current global methane budget. We investigate the feasibility of retrieving the second most abundant isotopologue of atmospheric methane (13CH4, roughly 1.1 % of total atmospheric methane) from the shortwave infrared (SWIR) channels of the future Sentinel-5/ultra-violet, visible, near-infrared, shortwave infrared (UVNS) and current Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) instruments. With the intended goal of calculating the δ13C value, we assume that a δ13C uncertainty of better than 1 ‰ is sufficient to differentiate between source types, which corresponds to a 13CH4 uncertainty of <0.02 ppb. Using the well-established information content analysis techniques and assuming clear-sky, non-scattering conditions, we find that the SWIR3 (2305–2385 nm) channel on the TROPOMI instrument can achieve a mean uncertainty of <1 ppb, while the SWIR1 channel (1590–1675 nm) on the Sentinel-5 UVNS instrument can achieve <0.68 ppb or <0.2 ppb in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) cases. These uncertainties combined with significant spatial and/or temporal averaging techniques can reduce δ13C uncertainty to the target magnitude or better. However, we find that 13CH4 retrievals are highly sensitive to errors in a priori knowledge of temperature and pressure, and accurate knowledge of these profiles is required before 13CH4 retrievals can be performed on TROPOMI and future Sentinel-5/UVNS data. In addition, we assess the assumption that scattering-induced light path errors are cancelled out by comparing the δ13C values calculated for non-scattering and scattering scenarios. We find that there is a minor bias in δ13C values from scattering and non-scattering retrievals, but this is unrelated to scattering-induced errors.
Isotopic characterization of nitrogen oxides (NOx), nitrous acid (HONO), and nitrate (pNO3−) from laboratory biomass burning during FIREX
Authors: Chai Jiajue , Miller David J. , Scheuer Eric , Dibb Jack , Selimovic Vanessa , Yokelson Robert , Zarzana Kyle J. , Brown Steven S. , Koss Abigail R. , Warneke Carsten , Hastings Meredith
Published: November 2019

Abstract. New techniques have recently been developed and applied to capture reactive
nitrogen species, including nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2),
nitrous acid (HONO), nitric acid (HNO3), and particulate nitrate
(pNO3-), for accurate measurement of their isotopic composition.
Here, we report – for the first time – the isotopic composition of HONO
from biomass burning (BB) emissions collected during the Fire Influence on
Regional to Global Environments Experiment (FIREX, later evolved into
FIREX-AQ) at the Missoula Fire Science Laboratory in
the fall of 2016. We used our newly developed annular denuder system (ADS),
which was verified to completely capture HONO associated with BB in
comparison with four other high-time-resolution concentration measurement
techniques, including mist chamber–ion chromatography (MC–IC), open-path
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (OP-FTIR), cavity-enhanced
spectroscopy (CES), and proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass
spectrometry (PTR-ToF). In 20 “stack” fires (direct emission within ∼5 s of
production by the fire) that burned various biomass materials from the
western US, δ15N–NOx ranges from −4.3 ‰ to +7.0 ‰, falling near the
middle of the range reported in previous work. The first measurements of
δ15N–HONO and δ18O–HONO in biomass burning smoke
reveal a range of −5.3 ‰ to +5.8 ‰
and +5.2 ‰ to +15.2 ‰,
respectively. Both HONO and NOx are sourced from N in the biomass fuel,
and δ15N–HONO and δ15N–NOx are strongly
correlated (R2=0.89, p<0.001), suggesting HONO is directly
formed via subsequent chain reactions of NOx emitted from biomass
combustion. Only 5 of 20 pNO3- samples had a sufficient amount
for isotopic analysis and showed δ15N and δ18O of
pNO3- ranging from −10.6 ‰ to −7.4 ‰ and +11.5 ‰ to
+14.8 ‰, respectively. Our δ15N of NOx, HONO, and pNO3- ranges can
serve as important biomass burning source signatures, useful for
constraining emissions of these species in environmental applications. The
δ18O of HONO and NO3- obtained here verify that our method
is capable of determining the oxygen isotopic composition in BB plumes. The
δ18O values for both of these species reflect laboratory conditions
(i.e., a lack of photochemistry) and would be expected to track with the
influence of different oxidation pathways in real environments. The methods
used in this study will be further applied in future field studies to
quantitatively track reactive nitrogen cycling in fresh and aged western US
wildfire plumes.
Estimation of subsurface soil moisture from surface soil moisture in cold mountainous areas

Published: November 2019

Abstract. Profile soil moisture (SM) in mountainous areas are significant in water resources management and ecohydrological studies of downstream arid watersheds. Satellite products are useful in providing spatially distributed SM information, but only have limited penetration depth (e.g. top 5 cm). In contrast, in situ observations can provide multi-depth measurements, but only with limited spatial coverage. Spatially continuous estimates of subsurface SM can be obtained from surface observations using statistical methods, but this requires sufficient coupling strength among surface and subsurface SM. This study evaluates methods to calculate subsurface SM from surface SM and an application to the satellite SM product based on a SM observation network in the Qilian Mountains (China) established since 2013. First, we used cross-correlation to analyze the coupling strength among surface (0–10 cm) and subsurface (10–20, 20–30, 30–50, 50–70 cm, and profile of 0–70 cm) SM. Our results indicated an overall strong coupling among surface and subsurface SM in this study area. Afterwards, three different methods were tested to estimate subsurface SM from in-situ surface SM: the exponential filter (ExpF), artificial neural networks (ANN) and cumulative distribution function matching (CDF) methods. The results showed that both ANN and ExpF methods were able to provide accurate estimates of subsurface soil moisture at 10–20 cm, 20–30 cm, and for the profile of 0–70 cm using surface (0–10 cm) soil moisture only. Specifically, the ANN method had the lowest estimation error (RSR) of 0.42, 0.62 and 0.49 for depths of 15 and 25 cm and profile SM, respectively, while the ExpF method best captured the temporal variation of subsurface soil moisture. Furthermore, it could be shown that the performance of the profile SM estimation was not significantly lower with using an area-generalized Topt (optimum T) compared to the station-specific Topt. In a final step, the ExpF method was applied to the satellite SM product (Soil Moisture Active Passive Level 3: SMAP_L3) to estimate profile SM, and the resulting profile SM was compared to in situ observations. The results showed that the ExpF method was able to estimate profile SM from SMAP_L3 surface products with reasonable accuracy (median R of 0.718). It was also found that the combination of ExpF method and SMAP_L3 surface product can significantly improve the estimation of profile SM in the mountainous areas in comparison to the SMAP_L4 root zone product. Overall, it was concluded that the ExpF method is able to estimate profile SM using SMAP surface products in the Qilian Mountains.
Interpretation of Multi-scale Permeability Data through an Information Theory Perspective
Authors: Dell'Oca Aronne , Guadagnini Alberto , Riva Monica
Published: November 2019

Abstract. We employ elements of Information Theory to quantify (i) the information content related to data collected at given measurement scales within the same porous medium domain, and (ii) the relationships among Information contents of datasets associated with differing scales. We focus on gas permeability data collected over a Berea Sandstone and a Topopah Spring Tuff blocks, considering four measurement scales. We quantify the way information is shared across these scales through (i) the Shannon entropy of the data associated with each support scale, (ii) mutual information shared between data taken at increasing support scales, and (iii) multivariate mutual information shared within triplets of datasets, each associated with a given scale. We also assess the level of uniqueness, redundancy and synergy (rendering, i.e., the information partitioning) of information content that the data associated with the intermediate and largest scales provide with respect to the information embedded in the data collected at the smallest support scale in a triplet.
IMPLEMENTATION AND FIRST EVALUATION OF AN INDOOR MAPPING APPLICATION USING SMARTPHONES AND AR FRAMEWORKS
Authors: Hasler O. , Blaser S. , Nebiker S.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. In this paper, we present the implementation of a smartphone-based indoor mobile mapping application based on an augmented reality (AR) framework and a subsequent performance evaluation in demanding indoor environments. The implementation runs on Android and iOS devices and demonstrates the great potential of smartphone-based 3D mobile mapping. The application includes several functionalities such as device tracking, coordinate, and distance measuring as well as capturing georeferenced imagery. We evaluate our prototype system by comparing measured points from the tracked device with ground control points in an indoor environment with two different campaigns. The first campaign consists of an open, one-way trajectory whereas the second campaign incorporates a loop closure. In the second campaign, the underlying AR framework successfully recognized the start location and correctly repositioned the device. Our results show that the absolute 3D accuracy of device tracking with a standard smartphone is around 1% of the travelled distance and that the local 3D accuracy reaches sub-decimetre level.
3D DOCUMENTATION OF FRAIL ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS USING LOW-COST INSTRUMENTATION
Authors: Katsichti V. , Kontogianni G. , Georgopoulos A.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. In archaeological excavations, many small fragments or artefacts are revealed whose fine details sometimes should be captured in 3D. In general, 3D documentation methods fall into two main categories: Range-Based modelling and Image-Based modelling. In Range Based modelling, a laser scanner (Time of Flight, Structured light, etc.) is used for the raw data acquisition in order to create the 3D model of an object. The above method is accurate enough but is still very expensive in terms of equipment. On the other hand, Image-Based modelling, is affordable because the equipment required is merely a camera with the appropriate lens, and possibly a turntable and a tripod. In this case, the 3D model of an object is created by suitable processing of images which are taken around the object with a large overlap. In this paper, emphasis is given on the effectiveness of 3D models of frail archaeological finds originate from the palatial site of Ayios Vasileios in Laconia in the south-eastern Peloponnese, using low-cost equipment and methods. The 3D model is also produced using various, mainly freeware, hence low-cost, software and the results are compared to those from a well-established commercial one.
RAPID RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF MULTIPLE CAMERA ARRAY USING IN-SITU DATA FOR UAV MULTISPECTRAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Authors: Minařík R. , Langhammer J.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. This study compares two possible radiometric calibration approaches of Tetracam μMCA Snap multispectral camera using the Dark offset subtraction and Look-Up Table (LUT) methods. A laboratory-based calibration using correction images taken under the controlled conditions was compared with a rapid in-situ based calibration featuring correction images taken during the field campaign. The hypothesis was that the accuracy of in-situ calibration could be comparable with the laboratory calibration, and thus could replace it and simplify the radiometric calibration process. The accuracy of calibration approaches was assessed by comparison of three validation targets reflectance values extracted from corrected UAV images based on laboratory and in-situ calibration with a reference spectroscopy measurement. The results of the field experiment showed that both calibration approaches led to significant accuracy improvement compared to raw data. The vignetting correction using resulted in a significant reduction of the Coefficient of variation by half in all bands and overall equalizing the DNs on the selected diagonal profile. The NRMSEs after processing all corrections ranged from 0.24 to 3.40%. Although the statistical testing revealed slightly better agreement of laboratory calibrated reflectance with reference data, the accuracy of in-situ calibration is sufficient, because the accuracy improvement quantified by the NRMSE is 2–10 times better using both calibration approaches compared to raw data than the NRMSE differences between them. These findings make the proposed in-situ approach usable for various environmental studies featuring UAV multispectral photogrammetry.

Published: November 2019

Abstract. The use of digital images as a source data for analysis and knowledge of the built environment is a common and well-known topic, which has seen a significant increase in the last fifteen years thanks both to algorithmic and technological development. One of the sensor families which has shown significant development in the last period are those mounted on smartphones, which offer ever increasingly advanced solutions from the technological and technical point of view. Considering the portability, handling and continuous availability of these instruments, it is legitimate to wonder if their cameras can be considered nowadays an effective working tool for architects and restorers. So, is the metric data, that comes from smartphones images acquisition and processing, reliable and usable for the two main phases of analysis and representation of the built environment? Starting from the case study of a façade of a church in the historic centre of Rome, the article aims to determine the reliability of the data acquired from a smartphone for architectural analysis and deterioration mapping.

Abstract. With the smartphone boom, positioning oneself on the Earth's surface has become something common. Everyone know how to uses their smartphone to get their location or finding their way. However, achieve centimetric accuracy on positioning still a topical issue that arouses considerable interest. Geodetic GNSS antennas are currently used for this field, but their price is incompatible with the mass market applications (autonomous cars, drones, machine automation, photogrammetry, etc.). In this paper, an approach to improve the Android smartphone positioning is presented using low-cost GNSS receiver. Requested by Syslor, a start-up working in buried networks, the society want to enhance its customer services. The purpose of this study is to present a method to reach centimetric localisation of smartphones for augmented reality and as-built 3D plans applications.

Authors: Trisyanti S. W. , Suwardhi D. , Murtiyoso A. , Grussenmeyer P.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Buildings are an important focus that needs to be modeled in three-dimensional (3D) city model. 3D models of buildings can be used to assist the construction and maintenance of cities. Currently there are many technologies that can be used to manage data and information from buildings or cities, such as Geographical Information System (GIS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). GIS is good for managing data areas or regions, while BIM is good for managing building data and information. GIS and BIM have their respective advantages and disadvantages, so a combination of both is needed to do a good management of building and area data and information. This research will use an open source web-application that can be used for asset and facility management. This web-application can display two-dimensional (2D) GIS and BIM data, but cannot display 3D GIS data yet. The results of surveying and mapping and from existing architectural drawing can build 3D GIS data using 3D City Database (3D CityDB) which is integrated with the web-application used.The purpose of this study is to store building and city data, visualize it in a 3D model, and use it to perform spatial analysis in customized open source web-applications. The study cases for this research are campus area of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Sayang Village, and Penglipuran Village.
VERSATIL TOOLS: DIGITAL SURVEY AND VIRTUAL REALITY FOR DOCUMENTATION, ANALYSIS AND FRUITION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SEISMIC AREAS
Authors: Trizio I. , Savini F. , Giannangeli A. , Fiore S. , Marra A. , Fabbrocino G. , Ruggieri A.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. The paper deals with an interdisciplinary research activity aiming at developing a digital and integrated tool able to collect several data concerning the cultural heritage, and to manage and communicate them to a wide community. The small church of San Menna, located in the hamlet with same name in the municipality of Lucoli not so far from L’Aquila city, was the object of the research. The church has been chosen for its historical significance, its architectural peculiarity and for the valuable artworks that it preserves. Based on a photogrammetric model of the church, also used for the remote analysis of cultural asset (planimetric and evolutionary hypotheses, three-dimensional stratigraphic analysis, etc.) a virtual word usable in Virtual Reality (VR) has been developed. The VR setting allows the accessibility of a digital semantic model with information that can be activated with special interactive hotspots (images, texts and audio), which are able to provide an immersive and all-encompassing experience to the tourist. The potentialities of the same tool in the context of diagnosis and conservation process related to cultural heritage in seismic areas, such as those of the Abruzzi Apennines, have also been investigated through the integration of forms concerning the significant features of the artistic assets surveyed in the construction.
INPAINTING OCCLUSION HOLES IN 3D BUILT ENVIRONMENT POINT CLOUDS
Authors: Väänänen P. , Lehtola V.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Point clouds obtained from mobile and terrestrial laser scanning are imperfect as data is typically missing due to occlusions. This problem is often encountered in 3D reconstruction and is especially troublesome for 3D visualization applications. The missing data may be recovered by intensifying the scanning mission, which may be expensive, or to some extent, by computational means. Here, we present an inpainting technique that covers these occlusion holes in 3D built environment point clouds. The proposed technique uses two neural networks with an identical architecture, applied separately for geometry and colors.
IMPLEMENTING FUNCTIONAL MODULARITY FOR PROCESSING OF GENERAL PHOTOGRAMMETRIC DATA WITH THE DAMPED BUNDLE ADJUSTMENT TOOLBOX (DBAT)
Authors: Börlin N. , Murtiyoso A. , Grussenmeyer P.
Published: November 2019

Abstract. The Damped Bundle Adjustment Toolbox (DBAT) is a free, open-source, toolbox for bundle adjustment. The purpose of DBAT is to provide an independent, open-source toolkit for statistically rigorous bundle adjustment computations. The capabilities include bundle adjustment, network analysis, point filtering, forward intersection, spatial intersection, plotting functions, and computations of quality indicators such as posterior covariance estimates and parameter correlations. DBAT is written in the high-level Matlab language and includes several processing example files. The input formats have so far been restricted to PhotoModeler export files and Photoscan (Metashape) native files. Fine-tuning of the processing has so far required knowledge of the Matlab language.This paper describes the development of a scripting language based on the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) language that allow the user a fine-grained control over what operations are applied to the input data, while keeping the needed programming skills at a minimum. Furthermore, the scripting language allows a wide range of input formats. Additionally, the XML format allows simple extension of the script file format both in terms of adding new operations, file formats, or adding parameters to existing operations. Overall, the script files will in principle allow DBAT to process any kind of photogrammetric input and should extend the usability of DBAT as a scientific and teaching tool for photogrammetric computations.

In or Out? The Existential Dilemma of Homosexuals in Iris Murdoch’s A Fairly Honorable Defeat
Authors: Guo Wei
Published: November 2019

A Fairly Honorable Defeat is one of Iris Murdoch’s best acclaimed novels. Critics generally regard it as a triumph of the evil over the good, as embodied in characters Julius King and Tallis Browne. It could also be read from a different perspective as a fairly honorable defeat of the heterosexual love by the homosexual love. But Simon and Axel only win a narrow victory. Their non-normative sexuality still entangles them in gender, social and moral dilemmas. A detailed and close reading of the novel shows Murdoch’s concern not only about how the existential dilemma of homosexuals has shaped their gender identity and limited their moral vision and choice, but also about the underlying social problems of power and violence. By bringing into conversation Goffman’s theory of stigma, Butler’s theory of gender performance and Foucault’s view of male friendship, the article argues that Simon and Axel have to struggle between secrecy and disclosure of their sexual identity because of the large homophobic social environment. The insecurity and anxiety engendered by their sexual identity makes it difficult for them to associate with others in sincerity. Their moral weakness and failures are largely occasioned by the social environment.
Different Genres and Proficiency Levels: Relationships Among Syntactic Complexity, Genres and Students with Different L2 Proficiency Levels
Authors: Yan Minwei , Zou Fangfang
Published: November 2019

The present study examines differences in syntactic complexity in English writing among writers at different levels and explores the relationship between syntactic complexity and writings with different genres. 20 students in grade three of a senior high school that were randomly selected from two brands of test scores were grouped into high and low proficiency groups. The 40 writings from the 20 students were examined. Writings were evaluated by L2SCA (L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer) gauging syntactic complexity at global, clausal and phrasal level. After obtaining the data, the complexity values were entered into SPSS 21.0 to do analysis. Results reveal that the difference of the two genres reaches a significant level in terms of C/T (clauses per T-unit) and CN/C (complex nominals per clause); there is no significant relationship between syntactic complexity and L2 proficiency levels and no significant interactive effect is found between the genre factor and proficiency factor. The results can yield implications for ESL writing pedagogy.

Published: November 2019

This study was carried out to explore the assessment practice in Saudi universities with the major focus on Continuous Assessment Strategies. The study specifically aimed to find out the different assessment strategies and their contribution to students’ learning and performance. It was conducted in Jubail University College and Al Mustaqbal University involving a sample of one hundred and fifty students and forty five teachers. Data was collected qualitatively and quantitatively using students’ academic records and questionnaires. From the findings, it was observed that the use of continuous assessment helps students to understand difficult areas related to the EFL content. The study revealed that although there are various kinds of continuous assessment strategies, EFL teachers at both the universities generally employed take-home assignments, written tests and recap exercises to assess how the EFL students learn English language. Continuous assessment also provides more confidence to students and prepares them for final examinations. Therefore, it was recommended that the competent EFL teachers, who are trained and knowledgeable about evaluation strategies and procedures, should be motivated to share their expertise in order to improve the performance of Saudi EFL university students.

Health promotional campaign as the practice of encouraging people to improve health has increased over the last decades in response to various health problems. This paper highlights strategies used by students to develop persuasive promotional campaign posters regarding the dengue health problem. Communication and media studies students were involved to show the combined results between the knowledge of health communication and the effective use of media in constructing an effective and persuasive health messages. A total of 56 students from two cohorts, i.e. twenty-five master’s students and thirty-one undergraduates were selected. Kurt Lewin’s model of action research was used to set the tasks: campaign objectives, information on dengue, themes/slogans to write the posters either by drawing or designing using a computer. The students were divided into groups where each group was monitored to record, check and evaluate their message writing performances. This study uses the Health Message Review Tool for data analysis which is grounded in the theories of Extended Parallel Process Model and Persuasion Hierarchy Effect. The findings revealed that the participants were able to construct, identify and evaluate major multi modal features in the dengue posters and persuasive elements which included: verbal texts, images, colours, graphic designs, metaphors, 1-sided and 2-sided message, firm conclusion and frames with more effective appeals. It was concluded that similar strategies may well be used in producing other campaign materials such as brochures, pamphlets, and billboards. The linguistic and pedagogic implications are also discussed at the end.
Educational Pathway and Social Mobility in Children of Immigrants
Authors: Dunn Michael
Published: November 2019

This paper looks at degree completion and wages of immigrants to understand the extent to which a student’s chosen educational pathway limits his or her social mobility. Statistical modeling established the predictive strengths of key variables on educational pathway and statistical analysis is used to understand the relationship between educational pathway, degree completion, and wages. Findings show that educational pathway mediates many of the background determinants that previous research identified as key mechanisms for immigrant social mobility. Furthermore, findings also identify a significant “pathway wage penalty” despite degree completion. New immigration plus births to immigrants added more than 22 million people to the U.S. population in the last decade, equal to 80 percent of total population growth. Immigrants and their children now account for more than one in five public school students. The impact of immigrants and their children on the US population, and the education system, underscores the importance of research examining the immigrant experience.

Einkommen immer ungleicher verteilt. WSI-Verteilungsbericht 2019
Authors: Spannagel Dorothee , Molitor Katharina
Published: November 2019

In Deutschland nimmt die Einkommensungleichheit weiter zu. Das zeigt der diesjährige WSI-Verteilungsbericht. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie sich die Ungleichheit nach dem starken Anstieg Anfang der 2000er Jahre entwickelt hat – ein Thema, das kontrovers diskutiert wird. Auf Basis der analysierten SOEP-Daten wird deutlich: Nach dem Jahr 2005 ist der Anstieg der Ungleichheit vorerst stark abgeschwächt, seit 2010 aber wächst die Einkommensungleichheit wieder deutlich. Und das ungeachtet der guten konjunkturellen Rahmenbedingungen und der äußerst günstigen Arbeitsmarktlage. Die Analysen belegen, dass die Entwicklung der Einkommen an den Rändern der Verteilung für die erneute Zunahme der Ungleichheit verantwortlich ist. Hier gilt es anzusetzen, um den Anstieg der Ungleichheit zu beenden und eine tief greifende Spaltung der Gesellschaft zu verhindern: Haushalte am oberen Ende müssten über höhere Steuern einen größeren Beitrag zur staatlichen Umverteilung leisten. Um zu vermeiden, dass Haushalte am unteren Ende den Anschluss an die Gesellschaft verlieren, sind vor allem die Erhöhung des Mindestlohns, eine Stärkung der Tarifbindung sowie arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen notwendig.

Les études en spiritualité
Authors: Charron Jean-Marc
Published: November 2019

L’émergence du spirituel s’impose aujourd’hui comme un fait marquant des déplacements du religieux vécus en Occident. Cet intérêt croissant pour la spiritualité, tant dans la pratique de plusieurs de nos contemporains que dans divers champs disciplinaires, ne va pas sans soulever quelques questions : Qu’est-ce que la spiritualité ? Quels sont ses rapports avec les traditions religieuses ? Selon quelles méthodes peut-on en aborder l’étude ? Que signifie l’accompagnement spirituel en contexte non confessionnel ? Ce texte évoque certains paramètres du chantier qui s’offre aujourd’hui à l’étude de ce nouveau champ disciplinaire.
Spiritualité
Authors: Vecoli Fabrizio
Published: November 2019

Dans ce court article, nous entendons retracer l’histoire sémantique du mot spiritualité afin de mieux saisir la signification du concept que l’on évoque aujourd’hui. Puis, on présentera le cas du monachisme chrétien primitif, où les questions sous-jacentes à l’utilisation de ce terme semblent — toute distinction faite — les mêmes qu’à l’époque actuelle. Le but de ces quelques propos est, d’une part, de rappeler à quel point la notion de spiritualité est culturellement connotée et liée à une histoire spécifique qui en a déterminé l’évolution jusqu’à ses utilisations les plus récentes et, d’autre part, proposer une interrogation quant à la récurrence — réelle ou illusoire ? — de certaines questions dans l’histoire des concepts et, par extension, dans l’histoire de la religion. L’enjeu est celui d’un comparatisme capable de légitimer l’établissement de catégories conceptuelles potentiellement récurrentes, premier pas dans la fondation d’universels admissibles dans les sciences sociales.
Des esprits et des hommes
Authors: Mossière Géraldine
Published: November 2019

Dans cet article, nous identifions les conditions et contextes qui ont favorisé l’émergence du concept de spiritualité comme trope commun, tant dans le champ sociétal qu’épistémologique. Nous inscrivons d’abord les manifestations actuelles de la spiritualité dans le paradigme néolibéral, et décrivons la variété des profils des sujets spirituels contemporains qui s’y rapportent. À cet égard, l’herméneutique du soi développée par Foucault fournit un cadre propice à la modélisation de la praxis associée à la spiritualité. Nous discutons ensuite ces perspectives à l’aide de nos observations et de la littérature ethnographiques. Cette lecture empirique amène à rapporter les expériences de la spiritualité dans des formes de communalité et à situer son acception chrétienne dans un domaine plus large associé aux esprits et à leurs interactions avec les humains. Ces perspectives alternatives portées sur le sujet, sur les esprits, et sur leurs articulations suggèrent des pistes heuristiques nouvelles qui orientent l’étude du sujet spirituel dans le champ de la guérison.
L’éthique théologique et féministe de Monique Dumais
Authors: Caron Alexandra
Published: November 2019

Enseignante de théologie et d’éthique et fondatrice de la collective L’autre Parole, Monique Dumais tient une place majeure dans l’histoire de la théologie au Québec. Un regard rétrospectif sur son oeuvre importante révèle toute la profondeur et la portée de son éthique féministe et solidaire, mettant en lumière la valeur de l’expérience d’être femme, dans un contexte de foi chrétienne. Remettant en question le patriarcat, elle a su élaborer une éthique et une théologie féministes revalorisantes et autonomisantes pour les femmes. Ses représentations positives des femmes réaffirment son engagement pour plus de liberté et de droits pour les femmes, par le biais d’une confiance inébranlable en la justice et l’Esprit vivant, le souffle de la vie.
La fonction de l’art dans la théologie féministe de Monique Dumais
Authors: Couture Denise
Published: November 2019

Une des pionnières de la théologie féministe universitaire au Québec, Monique Dumais (1939-2017), a également été une passionnée des arts, critique de maintes performances, mais aussi actrice et productrice, particulièrement de poésie, de théâtre et de littérature. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter une synthèse des éléments-clés de sa théologie féministe sous l’angle de la fonction qu’y a occupée l’art. L’étude présente successivement ses créations conceptuelles et ses créations artistiques, pour ensuite construire des liens entre elles. Une idée force du féminisme chrétien de Monique Dumais est qu’en christianisme, l’on manque d’incarnation. La Pâque des femmes, ce passage de la domination à la libération, repose sur l’intégration de leurs expériences féministes dans une créativité et dans une incarnation en acte de leur corps et de leur souffle. Ce mouvement vital excède les concepts. Les arts, qui appartiennent au domaine des sensations, y suppléent pour briser les logiques patriarcales.
