Sleep disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis
Authors: Krajewska-Włodarczyk Magdalena , Owczarczyk-Saczonek Agnieszka , Placek Waldemar
Published: November 2018

Objectives

To assess and measure occurrence of sleep disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (Ps).

Material and methods

The study included 62 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 52 patients with psoriasis. The measurement of sleep quality was conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the evaluation of fatigue by the fatigue subscale of the FACIT-F questionnaire and the patient’s quality of life by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). The psoriasis severity was determined using the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and the activity of arthritis by the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS 28). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of pain.

Results

Poor sleep quality was found in 67.7% of PsA patients, 57.7% in Ps patients and 14.6% within the control group. Sleeping disorders in patients with PsA and Ps were related to worse quality of life and intense fatigue. Methotrexate treatment was not related to sleeping disorders, but an improvement in sleep quality was observed in both PsA and Ps patients who were treated with anti TNF- antibodies (p < 0.001 and p = 0.032 respectively). Following the use of the linear regression model, the following factors worsen the sleep quality in PsA: pain (R2 = 0.462, p < 0.001), tender joint count (R2 = 0.434, p < 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration (R2 = 0.391, p < 0.001), patient’s age (R2 = 0.284, p = 0.003) and duration of psoriasis (R2 = 0.166, p = 0.006). In Ps patients the factors were: severity of skin lesions (R2 = 0.329, p < 0.001), duration of psoriasis (R2 = 0.290, p = 0.004) and patient’s age (R2 = 0.282, p = 0.019).

Conclusions

Poor sleep quality in patients with PsA or Ps is a common symptom. Sleep disorders are more frequent in patients with PsA than in those with psoriasis.
Effects of brown coatings on the absorption enhancement of black carbon: a numerical investigation
Authors: Luo Jie , Zhang Yongming , Wang Feng , Zhang Qixing
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Using the numerically exact multiple sphere T-matrix (MSTM) method, we
explored the effects of brown coatings on absorption enhancement (Eabs)
of black carbon (BC) at different wavelengths (λ). In addition, the
ratio of the absorption of BC coated by brown carbon (BrC) to an external
mixture of BrC and BC (Eabs_internal) is also investigated. In this
work, thinly coated BC is defined as that with a BC volume fraction over 20 %,
and other BC is considered to be thickly coated. Eabs increases with the
absorption of coatings, while an opposite trend is observed for
Eabs_internal. A much wider range of Eabs is observed for BC with
brown coatings compared to that with non-absorbing coatings. As the mass
ratio of BrC to BC (MR) is over 13.9, Eabs can exceed 5.4 for BC with
brown coatings at λ=0.35 µm under a typical size distribution.
Specifically, as MR increases to approximately 13.9, Eabs values of larger
than 3.96 can be observed at 0.532 µm, which is a little higher than the
commonly measured Eabs of 1.05–3.5
at this wavelength. Previous
studies have focused on the lensing effects of coatings but neglected the
blocking effects of absorbing coatings. Eabs_internal can be below 1
at an
ultraviolet spectral region for BC with brown coatings, which indicates that
the absorption of internally mixed BC is less than that of an external
mixture of BrC and BC due to the blocking effects of outer coatings, and we
named the blocking effect of absorbing coatings the “sunglasses effect”. In
addition, the applicability of a core–shell sphere model is also evaluated for
BC with brown coatings. The absorption cross section (Cabs) of
thickly coated BC is underestimated by the core–shell sphere model for all
wavelengths while the underestimation becomes negligible as the imaginary
part of the refractive index of brown carbon (kBrC) becomes very large.
The lensing effect and the sunglasses effect are clearly defined. Moreover, the
effects of composition ratios and the size distribution are explored at
different wavelengths. Our findings can improve the understanding of the
absorption enhancement of BC with brown coatings.
Comparative analysis of low-Earth orbit (TROPOMI) and geostationary (GeoCARB, GEO-CAPE) satellite instruments for constraining methane emissions on fine regional scales: application to the Southeast US
Authors: Sheng Jian-Xiong , Jacob Daniel J. , Maasakkers Joannes D. , Zhang Yuzhong , Sulprizio Melissa P.
Published: November 2018

Abstract. We conduct Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs)
to compare the ability of future satellite measurements of atmospheric
methane columns (TROPOMI, GeoCARB, GEO-CAPE) for constraining methane
emissions down to the 25 km scale through inverse analyses. The OSSE uses the
GEOS-Chem chemical transport model (0.25∘×0.3125∘ grid
resolution) in a 1-week simulation for the Southeast US with 216 emission
elements to be optimized through inversion of synthetic satellite
observations. Clouds contaminate 73 %–91 % of the viewing scenes depending on
pixel size. Comparison of GEOS-Chem to Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) surface-based methane column
observations indicates a model transport error standard deviation of 12 ppb,
larger than the instrument errors when aggregated on the 25 km model grid
scale, and with a temporal error correlation of 6 h. We find that TROPOMI
(7×7 km2 pixels, daily return time) can provide a coarse regional
optimization of methane emissions, comparable to results from an aircraft
campaign (SEAC4RS), and is highly sensitive to cloud cover. The
geostationary instruments can do much better and are less sensitive to cloud
cover, reflecting both their finer pixel resolution and more frequent
observations. The information content from GeoCARB toward constraining
methane emissions increases by 20 %–25 % for each doubling of the GeoCARB
measurement frequency. Temporal error correlation in the transport model
moderates but does not cancel the benefit of more frequent measurements for
geostationary instruments. We find that GeoCARB observing twice a day would
provide 70 % of the information from the nominal GEO-CAPE mission
preformulated by NASA in response to the Decadal Survey of the US National
Research Council.

Pacific Decadal Oscillation and recent oxygen decline in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
Authors: Duteil Olaf , Oschlies Andreas , Böning Claus W.
Published: November 2018

Abstract. The impact of the positive and negative phases of the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation (PDO) on the extension of the poorly oxygenated regions of the
eastern Pacific Ocean was assessed using a coupled ocean
circulation–biogeochemical model. We show that during a “typical”
PDO-positive phase the volume of the suboxic regions expands by 7 % over 50
years due to a slowdown of the large-scale circulation related to the
decrease in the intensity of the trade winds. Changes in oxygen levels are
mostly controlled by advective processes between 10∘ N and
10∘ S, whereas diffusive processes are dominant poleward of
10∘: in a “typical” PDO-positive phase the sluggish equatorial
current system provides less oxygen to the eastern equatorial part of the
basin while the oxygen transport by diffusive processes significantly
decreases south of 10∘ S. The suboxic region located north of
10∘ N displays less sensitivity to the phase of the PDO as the
local upwelling-related processes play a dominant role compared to the
large-scale circulation in setting the oxygen concentration. Our study
suggests that the prevailing PDO-positive conditions since 1975 may explain a
significant part of the current deoxygenation occurring in the eastern
Pacific Ocean.
Spatially distributed water-balance and meteorological data from the Wolverton catchment, Sequoia National Park, California
Authors: Bales Roger C. , Stacy Erin M. , Meng Xiande , Conklin Martha H. , Kirchner Peter B. , Zheng Zeshi
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Accurate water-balance measurements in the seasonal,
snow-dominated Sierra Nevada are important for forest and downstream water
management. However, few sites in the southern Sierra offer detailed records
of the spatial and temporal patterns of snowpack and soil-water storage and
the fluxes affecting them, i.e., precipitation as rain and snow, snowmelt,
evapotranspiration, and runoff. To explore these stores and fluxes we
instrumented the Wolverton basin (2180–2750 m) in Sequoia National Park
with distributed, continuous sensors. This 2006–2016 record of snow depth,
soil moisture and soil temperature, and meteorological data quantifies the
hydrologic inputs and storage in a mostly undeveloped catchment. Clustered
sensors record lateral differences with regards to aspect and canopy cover at
approximately 2250 and 2625 m in elevation, where two meteorological
stations are installed. Meteorological stations record air temperature,
relative humidity, radiation, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and
snow depth. Data are available at hourly intervals by water year
(1 October–30 September) in non-proprietary formats from online data
repositories (https://doi.org/10.6071/M3S94T).
Theia Snow collection: high resolution operational snow cover maps
from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 data
Authors: Gascoin Simon , Grizonnet Manuel , Bouchet Marine , Salgues Germain , Hagolle Olivier
Published: November 2018

Abstract. The Theia Snow collection routinely provides high resolution maps of the snow cover area from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 observations. The collection covers selected areas worldwide including the main mountain regions in Western Europe (e.g. Alps, Pyrenees) and the High Atlas in Morocco. Each product of the Snow collection contains four classes: snow, no-snow, cloud and no-data. We present the algorithm to generate the snow products and provide an evaluation of their accuracy using in situ snow depth measurements, higher resolution snow maps, and visual control. The results suggest that the snow is accurately detected in the Theia snow collection, and that the snow detection is more accurate than the sen2cor outputs (ESA level 2 product). An issue that should be addressed in a future release is the occurrence of false snow detection in some large clouds. The snow maps are currently produced and freely distributed in average 5 days after the image acquisition as raster and vector files via the Theia portal (http://doi.org/10.24400/329360/F7Q52MNK).
A regional coupled ocean–atmosphere modeling framework
(MITgcm–WRF) using ESMF/NUOPC: description and preliminary results for the Red Sea
Authors: Sun Rui , Subramanian Aneesh , Miller Art , Mazloff Matt , Hoteit Ibrahim , Cornuelle Bruce
Published: November 2018

Abstract. A new regional coupled ocean–atmosphere model is developed to study air–sea feedbacks. The coupled model is based on two open-source community model components: (1) MITgcm ocean model; (2) Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) atmosphere model. The coupling between these components is performed using ESMF (Earth System Modeling Framework) and implemented according to National United Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) consortium. The regional coupled model allows affordable simulation where oceanic mixed layer heat and momentum interact with atmospheric boundary layer dynamics at mesoscale and higher resolution. This can capture the feedbacks which are otherwise not well-resolved in coarse resolution global coupled models and are absent in regional uncoupled models. To test the regional coupled model, we focus on a series of heat wave events that occurred on the eastern shore of the Red Sea region in June 2012 using a 30-day simulation. The results obtained using the coupled model, along with those in forced uncoupled ocean or atmosphere model simulations, are compared with observational and reanalysis data. All configurations of coupled and uncoupled models have good skill in modeling variables of interest in the region. The coupled model shows improved skill in temperature and circulation evaluation metrics. In addition, a scalability test is performed to investigate the parallelization of the coupled model. The results indicate that the coupled model scales linearly for up to 128 CPUs and sublinearly for more processors. In the coupled simulation, the ESMF/NUOPC interface also scales well and accounts for less than 10 % of the total computational resources compared with uncoupled models. Hence this newly developed regional model scales efficiently for a large number of processors and can be applied for high-resolution coupled regional modeling studies.
New insights on the early Mesozoic evolution of multiple tectonic regimes in the northeastern North China Craton from the detrital zircon provenance of sedimentary strata
Authors: Wang Yi Ni , Xu Wen Liang , Wang Feng , Li Xiao Bo
Published: November 2018

Abstract. To investigate the timing of deposition and provenance of early Mesozoic strata in the northeastern North China Craton (NCC) and to understand the early Mesozoic paleotectonic evolution of the region, we combine stratigraphy, U–Pb zircon geochronology, and Hf isotopic analyses. Early Mesozoic strata include the Early Triassic Heisonggou, Late Triassic Changbai and Xiaoyingzi, and Early Jurassic Yihe formations. Detrital zircons in the Heisonggou Formation yield  ∼ 58 % Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic ages and  ∼ 42 % Phanerozoic ages and were sourced from areas to the south and north of the basins within the NCC, respectively. This indicates that Early Triassic deposition was controlled primarily by the southward subduction of the Paleo-Asian oceanic plate beneath the NCC and collision between the NCC and the Yangtze Craton (YC). Approximately 88 % of the sediments within the Late Triassic Xiaoyingzi Formation were sourced from the NCC to the south, with the remaining  ∼ 12 % from the Xing'an–Mongolia Orogenic Belt (XMOB) to the north. This implies that Late Triassic deposition was related to the final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean during the Middle Triassic and the rapid exhumation of the Su–Lu Orogenic Belt between the NCC and YC. In contrast,  ∼ 88 % of sediments within the Early Jurassic Yihe Formation were sourced from the XMOB to the north, with the remaining  ∼ 12 % from the NCC to the south. We therefore infer that rapid uplift of the XMOB and the onset of the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia occurred in the Early Jurassic.

Abstract. The Antarctic continent is a vast desert, the coldest and the most unknown area on Earth. It contains the Antarctic ice sheet, the largest continental water reservoir on Earth that could be affected by the current global warming, leading to sea level rise. The only significant supply of ice is through precipitation, which can be observed from the surface and from space. Remote sensing observations of the coastal regions and the inner continent using CloudSat radar give an estimated rate of snowfall but with uncertainties twice as large as each single measured value, whereas climate models give a range from half to twice the time and spatial average observations. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the vertical precipitation rate profiles of CloudSat radar by comparison with two surface-based Micro-Rain Radars (MRR), located at the coastal French Dumont d'Urville station and at the Belgian Princess Elisabeth station, located in the Dronning Maud Land escarpment zone, respectively. This in turn leads to a better understanding and reassessment of CloudSat uncertainties. We compared a total of four precipitation events, two per station, when CloudSat overpassed within 10 km of the stations and we compared these two different data sets at each vertical level. The correlation between both datasets is near-perfect, even though climatic and geographic conditions are different for the stations. Using different CloudSat and MRR vertical levels, we obtain 10km-space and seconds-short-time CloudSat uncertainties from −24 % up to +21 %. This confirms the robustness of the CloudSat retrievals of snowfall over Antarctica above the blind zone and justifies further analyses of this dataset.
The importance of understanding perceptions of accessibility when addressing transport equity: A case study in Greater Nottingham, UK
Authors: Curl Angela
Published: November 2018

To deal with issues of equity in transport, increasing attention is being paid to addressing inequalities in accessibility. Existing approaches to measuring accessibility tend to focus on objective measurement, often using journey time as an indicator of spatial separation of people from places. However, using objective measures of spatial accessibility could obscure inequities in accessibility that occur due to differences in perceptions of accessibility among (groups of) individuals.

This paper uses data from a case study in Greater Nottingham, UK, to demonstrate that there are differences between self-reported and objective measures of journey time access to destinations. Self-reported journey times to a number of destinations by walking, public transport, and car are compared with a nationally available dataset of accessibility indicators. Then, factors associated with self-reported journey times are investigated to understand what accounts for differences between individual’s self-reported understanding and objective measures of journey time accessibility.

Results show that there is a difference between self-reported and objective measures, and that objective measures usually underestimate journey time accessibility. These differences occur because of demographic factors (e.g., age), trip familiarity, and destination definition. If accessibility metrics are to be used to address issues of social inequity related to transport, then there is a need to consider how diverse perceptions of accessibility relate to objective measures and to develop approaches that can account for social as well as spatial variation in accessibility.

Wegenrio granulomatozė, kitaip vadinama granulo­matoze su poliangitu, priklauso su antikūnų prieš neu­trofilų citoplazmos antigenus susijusių vaskulitų gru­pei. Ji, pagal 1994 metais Chapel Hillyje vykusiame konferencijos susitarime priimtą vaskulitų skirstymą, pažeidžia smulkiąsias kraujagysles. Granulomatoze su poliangitu serga įvairaus amžiaus žmonės, bet daž­niausiai liga manifestuoja ketvirtą – penktą dešim­tmetį. Ilgai laikoma blogos prognozės liga, taikant šiuolaikinį, inovatyvų gydymą ir atsiradus naujiems vaistams, Wegenerio granulomatozė buvo ištraukta iš blogos prognozės ligų sąrašo. Pacientų išgyvena­mumo vidurkis, lyginant su mikroskopinio poliangito išgyvenamumo vidurkiu, padidėjo. Kliniškai We­generio granulomatozė prasideda į gripą panašiais požymiais: bendru silpnumu, karščiavimu, galvos skausmais, apetito stoka. Vėliau pasireiškia viršutinių kvėpavimo takų, plaučių, inkstų bei virškinimo trakto pažeidimas. Pusei iš sergančių šia liga pacientų pasi­reiškia odos bėrimas (hemoraginis bėrimas, poodiniai mazgai). Taip pat gali būti stebimas nervų sistemos pakenkimas. Pateikiame Wegenerio granulomatozės atvejį, kuriame matyti, kaip laiku pradėjus specifinį gydymą galima stebėti pažeistos inkstų funkcijos atsi­statymą, bendros ligonio būklės pagerėjimą bei klas­tingos ligos atkryčio atsiradimą.

A partir de la relación entre la prensa italiana y española y los niveles de corrupción percibida en los mismos tejidos sociales, se analiza la capacidad de los periódicos para difundir adecuadamente la información acerca de la corrupción política y de informar al público sobre la realidad del fenómeno. La razón reside en el cambio de los métodos de difusión de información: ¿en la era de la información ‘en tiempo real’ por fuentes independientes (internet y redes sociales), es apropriado dudar del grado de transparencia y eficacia de los periódicos respecto a los otros medios de difusión?
Mobile Archivists: Outreach on the Go!
Authors: Hannula Catherine , Barth Jennifer
Published: November 2018

Despite the rich histories of rural communities in northern Wisconsin, accessibility to professional archivists is limited at best. The North Woods Tour project in Wisconsin focused on empowering local residents to preserve historical materials themselves, by teaching them basic archival methods relating to a variety of formats through personal archiving workshops. Led by Amy Sloper, head archivist at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research, three Wisconsin archivists created and implemented the project, visiting three rural northern Wisconsin communities and working with 30 local community members. This report examines their planning process and attendee response. Additionally, it argues that, in some cases, materials might be best preserved within the context of their creation.
Preservation is Political: Enacting Contributive Justice and Decolonizing Transnational Archival Collaborations
Authors: Sangwand T-Kay
Published: November 2018

This article contributes to critical archival studies discourse and builds upon the theoretical and practical work accomplished under the postcustodial rubric in order to propose an archival framework that is explicitly oriented in the service of justice. Global north/south postcustodial collaborations highlight the ethical and practical obligation of adopting an archival framework that accounts for expanded notions of stewardship and narrative agency. As an archivist based in US academic libraries who works primarily on transnational archival collaborations in the global south, I want to introduce the concept of contributive justice to these postcustodial transnational collaborations because it reframes the role of the partner organization in the global south and acknowledges the agency of all partners (Gomberg 2007). By drawing upon my experiences facilitating transnational archival partnerships between US academic libraries and institutions in Cuba, El Salvador, and Rwanda, I build upon Michelle Caswell’s (2017) suggested actions for dismantling white supremacy within US archives by offering concrete ways archivists can utilize a contributive justice framework to decolonize archival practices (i.e., appraisal, description, access) within transnational partnerships. By offering these examples, we can begin to both imagine and enact a more just and liberatory archival praxis. As Caswell states, ‘through the lens of liberatory archival imaginaries, our work … does not end with the limits of our collection policies, but rather, it is an ongoing process of conceptualizing what we want the future to look like’ (2014a: 51). The stakes are high in the shaping of our collective histories, and we all have the responsibility of envisioning and enacting liberatory archival futures.

Manifesting the Semantic Differences of the Words Love and Affection and Their Derivations in the Glorious Quran
Authors: Abdullah Daad Younus Hussein , Halim Zulazhan Bin Ab.
Published: November 2018

This research states the importance of love; that word with tender shadows and the one beloved by the human soul, and Islam reflects a special understanding for this word as it is a religion that acknowledges love as one of the most vital and effective human impulses and motives in the individual and collective behavior. It is also one of the paths to recognize Allah and approach him. There is no doubt that affection is a positive virtue because it is, in essence, a means to approve the bonds of love and intimacy and reviving them even if it represents an emotional and sentimental denotation, though it is originally a positive and practical tendency. Love is the polar of worship as loving the religion and its details is a sign of the faith perfection; loving Allah entails obeying his messenger peace be upon him and his tradition. There is a semantic difference between the two words: love and affection as love is what settled in the heart and affection is what was translated by the behavior and not every loving person is friendly and the human can love and this love does not show in his behavior and every friendly person has affection in his heart and its basis is the love feeling inside his heart, therefore the affection is the love which is not reflected. The current research relied on references that deal with the semantic differences as a partnership study conducted by Mosul University in Iraq and Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin in Malaysia.
Doctoral Supervision in North America: Perception and Challenges of Supervisor and Supervisee
Authors: Denis Constance , Colet Nicole Rege , Lison Christelle
Published: November 2018

The completion rate for graduate studies is around 50% in some programs, and several authors suggest that doctoral supervision in a key factor in explaining this. Existing research on doctoral education reveals an uneven international landscape made up of the perceptions of both doctoral students and their supervisors. In the French-speaking North American context, exploration of doctoral supervision practices still remains unchartered. As a part of the first author’s doctoral thesis, interviews were conducted with 20 supervisors and 20 doctoral students from 8 different faculties. The purpose of these interviews was to capture their perceptions and experiences around doctoral supervision, and to explore with them the main issues related to doctoral supervision. Four dimensions for framing doctoral supervision have emerged from these interviews: a) scientific, b) personal, c) administrative and d) professional. Three main issues stretch along a timeline: 1) admission into a doctoral program, 2) mastering of scientific writing, and 3) employability. This study is an attempt to unpack the complexity of doctoral supervision and, in doing so, to construct a shared language for all concerned parties. The overall purpose of the doctoral research is to identify practices that support effective doctoral supervision and reduce the dropout rate.

The Extraordinary African Chambers (CAE) within the courts of Senegal were created by the Agreement between the Republic of Senegal and the African Union of 22 August 2012 to prosecute international crimes committed in Chad between 7 June 1982 and 1 December 1990. The Chambers are governed by a Statute. For those cases not provided for in the Statute, the Chambers shall apply Senegalese law. Both laws, one of international or conventional nature and the other one national, could be applied to a trial in compliance with international standards. However, the Statute has priority over Senegalese legislation. It is indeed the Statute that is asked to settle all questions that may arise and that has made specific selective references and for any other point that it could not have foreseen.

So, in the functioning of the CAE, both standards were able to interact. A beneficial process that, however, also has created difficulties. After the dissolution of the Chambers on 27 April 2017, Senegalese national law, that was enacted about the universal jurisdiction of international crime since 2007, should be inspired by it and adopt appropriate standards.

Les Chambres africaines extraordinaire (CAE) au sein des juridictions sénégalaises ont été créées par l’Accord entre la République du Sénégal et l’Union africaine du 22 août 2012 pour connaitre de crimes internationaux commis au Tchad durant une période bien déterminée. De caractère international, elles sont régies par un Statut qui prévoit dans certains cas l’application du droit national sénégalais. Les deux droits, l’un d’essence internationale ou conventionnelle et l’autre nationale, ont pu être appliqués pour un procès conforme aux standards internationaux. Toutefois, le Statut prime sur le droit sénégalais. En effet, c’est le Statut appelé à régir toutes les questions qui pourrait se poser qui a opéré des renvois sélectifs expressément et pour tout autre point qu’il n’a pu prévoir. Ainsi, dans le fonctionnement des CAE, les deux normes ont pu interagir. Un procédé bénéfique qui n’a toutefois pas manqué de poser des difficultés. Après leur dissolution, le 27 avril 2017, le droit national sénégalais qui s’est lancé depuis 2007 dans la compétence universelle sur les crimes internationaux devrait s’en inspirer et adopter des normes adaptées.

Keeping complexity alive: restorative and responsive approaches to culture change

The human services are fraught with history of failure related to grasping oversimplified, across-the-board solutions that are expected to work in all situations for all groups of people. This article reviews some of the long-standing and current challenges for governance of programmes in maintaining cultures that safeguard restorative and responsive standards, principles and values, thereby amplifying and enhancing their centrality to relational engagement within families, groups, communities and organisations. Despite their potential for helping groups of people grapple with the complex dynamics that impact their lives, restorative justice approaches are seen as no less vulnerable to being whittled down to technical routines through practitioner and sponsor colonisation than other practices. This article explores some of the ways culture can work to erode and support the achievement of restorative standards, and why restorative justice and regulation that is responsive to the ongoing experiences of affected persons offers unique paths forward for achieving justice. Included in this exploration are the ways that moral panic and top-down, command-and-control management narrow relational approaches to tackling complex problems and protect interests that reproduce social and economic inequality.
Restorative justice as feminist practice

Restorative justice as feminist practice

Feminists have viewed the implementation of restorative practices warily, particularly in the context of gender-based harms. Concerns include the devaluing of gender-based harms, the reprivatisation of violence against women and the inability of restorative practitioners to guarantee safety for people subjected to abuse. But this article will argue that restorative justice can be a uniquely feminist practice, growing out of the same mistrust of state-based systems and engagement of the community that animated the early feminist movement. Although some caution is warranted, restorative justice serves the feminist goals of amplifying women’s voices, fostering women’s autonomy and empowerment, engaging community, avoiding gender essentialism and employing an intersectional analysis, transforming patriarchal structures and ending violence against women.

Restorative responses to campus sexual harm: promising practices and challenges

The purpose of this article is to examine restorative approaches to campus sexual harm. A restorative response may provide support and validation for survivors, a pathway for personal change for those who cause sexual harm, and assist in changing campus culture. The article addresses three significant challenges to developing a restorative response. The first challenge is the influence of a pervasive ideology that I refer to as crime logic. A second challenge is the need for an intersectional response that addresses the potential for bias in decisions by campus administrators and restorative justice practitioners. The third challenge is to develop restorative approaches for circumstances in which a victim/perpetrator dyad is not appropriate.
The personal is political: the restorative dialectic of child inclusion

The personal is political: the restorative dialectic of child inclusion

The dialectic of the ‘personal is political’ is starkly evident in the lives of abused and neglected children and their families involved with child protection services. State intervention into families renders private matters into public issues. Restorative approaches in the child protection context offer a vital test of their efficacy in reshaping family and family-state relationships. Drawing upon the author’s experience as a young feminist and child protection worker, this article identifies three dynamics of the restorative dialectic: children’s testimony, women’s responsibilisation and child validation. A case study of a sexually abused teen demonstrates how the restorative process of family group conferencing transforms these dynamics. Children’s testimony of giving evidence in court becomes speaking for/speaking with; women blaming becomes collective responsibilisation; and child protectionism becomes validation of children and their cultural heritage. Together these movements uphold a relational approach to restorative justice that nudges norms toward greater equity.
A implantação do Reuni na UFF: ampliação de direitos ou precarização do ensino superior?
Authors: Silva Renata Maldonado da , Borowsky Micheli Marques
Published: November 2018

Neste texto discute-se elementos presentes nas transformações do ensino superior no Brasil, no contexto das modificações no modo de produção capitalista, a partir da década de 1970. Nesse novo contexto, o ensino superior foi reestruturado e passou pelos efeitos do ideário neoliberal e, consequentemente, havendo maior aproximação com os princípios do mercado. Dentre as principais mudanças nesse âmbito do ensino, o artigo terá como foco de análise a elaboração do Programa de Apoio a Planos de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais - Reuni - implantado pelo Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação - PDE - em 2007. O Reuni tinha como objetivos principais ampliar o acesso ao ensino superior nas universidades federais, mediante a ampliação dos campi, dos novos cursos presenciais, principalmente noturnos, aumentando a oferta de vagas e a reestruturação curricular dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação. Palavras-chave: educação superior; Reuni; UFF.
Gestão democrática como condição de qualidade: a forma de provimento do diretor escolar nas redes municipais brasileiras e a relação com indicadores e resultados educacionais de 2015
Authors: Silva Marcus Quintanilha da
Published: November 2018

O presente trabalho tem dois objetivos: atualizar o panorama das formas de provimento do diretor escolar e analisar comparativamente indicadores educacionais e de contexto em grupos categorizados pelo provimento do diretor, só por eleição, indicação ou formas mistas, com delimitação a escolas que só ofertam os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental em 2015. Pela abordagem quantitativa, utilizou-se uma análise exploratória comparativa e o diálogo com a literatura. Os resultados evidenciaram maior homogeneidade e uma diferença de 5% a 20% nas médias dos indicadores utilizados na análise - Ideb, IDHM, ICQ - e proficiências em Língua Portuguesa e Matemática dos anos de 2015, exceção ao IDHM, de 2010, em favor do grupo de redes municipais dos diretores eleitos.Palavras-chave: forma de provimento; indicadores educacionais; gestão democrática.
Currículo e educação infantil: os desafios para a gestão e professores
Authors: Cardona Márcia Pires , Mello Debora Teixeira de
Published: November 2018

Neste texto apresenta-se resultados de uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo compreender como os professores e gestores de três escolas municipais de educação infantil de Santa Maria/RS pensam acerca da proposta pedagógica a partir dos reflexos das diretrizes curriculares nacionais e da Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Para isso, buscou-se conhecer a realidade e o projeto pedagógico destas escolas, bem como aplicou-se um questionário pelo qual se indagou como ocorre a dinâmica de discussões e reflexões em cada uma sobre as políticas públicas, referenciais, diretrizes e currículo. Após o retorno dos questionários podemos fazer a análise das respostas com base em Bastos (2001), Cittolin (2014), Campos (1999), Dourado (2007), Kramer (2001), Kuhlmann (2001), Lück (2008), Zabalza (1998) e Rosemberg (1990). Vimos que esse tema ainda causa desconforto aos sujeitos por não sentirem-se parte dos processos e verem as políticas públicas como normas a serem seguidas.Palavras-chave: políticas públicas; educação infantil; currículo.
« Toi nuage passe devant ». L’écriture résistante de René Char
Authors: Maulpoix Jean-Michel
Published: November 2018

Cette étude part d’une observation simple : écriture et action sont organiquement proches dans Fureur et mystère. Dès lors, il s’agit moins d’évaluer l’intensité de l’implication d’un écrivain dans une cause extérieure plus ou moins durable que d’observer de l’intérieur, dans la poésie même, la persistance d’un « esprit de résistance » qui lui est congénital et qui s’avère constitutif de son identité. Quelle poétique un tel esprit engage-t-il ? Quelles difficultés singulières ? Quelles formes ? C’est aux modalités mêmes de l’écriture de Char que de telles questions conduisent à s’intéresser.
Ecology and life history of Meta bourneti (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) from Monte Albo (Sardinia, Italy)
Authors: Lunghi Enrico
Published: November 2018

The orb-weaver spider Meta bourneti Simon 1922 (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) is one of the most common cave predators occurring in the Mediterranean basin. Although the congeneric M. menardi represented the model species in several studies, our knowledge of M. bourneti is only founded on observations performed on a handful of populations. In this study M. bourneti spiders were studied in caves of Monte Albo (Sardinia, Italy) over a year. Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to analyze spider occupancy inside cave environments, as well as spider abundance. Analyses on M. bourneti occupancy and abundance were also repeated for adults and juveniles separately. Generalized Linear Models, were used to weight species absence based on its detection probability. Linear Mixed Models were used to detect possible divergences in subterranean spatial use between adult and juvenile spiders. Although widespread on the mountain, M. bourneti generally showed low density and low detection probability. Most of the individuals observed were juveniles. The spiders generally occupied cave sectors with high ceilings that were deep enough to show particular microclimatic features. Adults tended to occupy less illuminated areas than juveniles, while the latter were more frequently found in sectors showing high humidity. The abundance of M. bourneti was strongly related to high humidity and the presence of two troglophile species, Hydromantes flavus Wake, Salvador & Alonso-Zarazaga, 2005 (Amphibia: Caudata) and Oxychilus oppressus (Shuttleworth, 1877) (Gastropoda: Panpulmonata). The abundance of juveniles was related to sector temperature and humidity, the presence of H. flavus and O. oppressus and to morphological sector features. However, when only adults were considered, no significant relationships were found. Adult and juvenile spiders did not differ in their spatial distribution inside the caves studied, but a seasonal distribution of the species along cave walls was observed. Microclimate was one of the most important features affecting both the presence and abundance of M. bourneti in subterranean environments. Individuals tended to occupy lower heights during hot seasons.
