’Animal Studies‘, Disziplinarität und die (Post-)Humanities
Authors: Wolfe Cary
Published: March 2019

Der Text von Cary Wolfe ist eine gekürzte Übersetzung des Kapitels »Animal Studies«, Disciplinarity, and the (Post)Humanities aus der Monographie What is Posthumanism? (Minnesota 2009). Wolfe diskutiert die Beziehung zwischen (Trans-)Disziplinarität und Posthumanismus im Rückgriff auf Konzepte von Derrida, Foucault und Luhmann, die eine Form von gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation zu denken erlauben, an der menschliche Subjekte zwar noch teilhaben, aber deren souveräne Urheber sie nicht mehr sind

The paper by Cary Wolfe is an abridged translation of the chapter »Animal Studies«, Disciplinarity, and the (Post)Humanities from the monograph (Minnesota 2009). Wolfe discusses the relation between (trans-)disciplinarity and posthumanism with reference to concepts by Derrida, Foucault and Luhmann, allowing to consider a form of social communication in which human subjects still may participate, but no longer are their sovereign initiators.
Anwesend / Abwesend. Formen der Präsenz in der Mikrophonie
Authors: Gethmann Daniel
Published: March 2019

"Die mediale Ausprägung neuartiger stimmlich-akustischer Präsenzformen stellt die Radiotheorie von Karl Würzburger im Jahre 1932 unter den Begriff der Mikrophonie. Im Durchgang durch das Mikrophon erfahren hier übertragene Medienstimmen eine ubiquitäre Verbreitung, die in einem Spiel mit An- und Abwesenheitseffekten von Körpern und Stimmen die Entwicklung spezifisch radiophoner Sprechformen fördert.

Karl Würzburger’s radio theory labels novel vocal-acoustic forms of presence with the concept of »Mikrophonie« (microphonics). Passing through the microphone, transmitted voices undergo a ubiquitous distribution, which in a play with effects of presence and absence promotes the development of specific forms of radiophonic voices.

Längengradbestimmung und Simultanität in Philosophie, Physik und Imperien
Authors: Siegert Benrhard
Published: March 2019

"Die Einführung von Längengraden auf den Weltmeeren wurde vom 16. bis ins 18. Jahrhundert als die größte wissenschaftliche Herausforderung angesehen. Der Beitrag skizziert ihren Einfluss auf die Erschaffung des Britischen Imperiums, die Physik, und die frühe Philosophie Martin Heideggers. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Geschichte wird eine historische Ontologie der Uhr entwickelt. Während die Uhr im Mittelalter eine Maschine war, wurde sie in der frühen Moderne zum Instrument und im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zum Medium. Als Medium des Daseins ist die Uhr nicht nur ein ontisches Zeitmessgerät, sondern auch ein ontologisches Ding, das dem Dasein sein eigenes technisches Wesen zugänglich macht.

From the 16th to the 18th century, the introduction of longitude on the high seas was considered the greatest scientific challenge. The paper outlines their impact on the creation of the British Empire, physics, and the early philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Against the background of this story, a historical ontology of the clock is developed. While the clock was a machine in the Middle Ages, it became an instrument in early modernity and a medium in the 19th and 20th century. As a medium of existence, the clock is not only an ontic device to measure the time, but also an ontological thing that provides access to the technical nature of existence.

Von einer Soziologie der Mediation zu einer Pragmatik der Attachements
Authors: Hennion Antoine
Published: March 2019

Im Zentrum dieses Beitrags steht der Rückblick Hennions auf seinen eigenen intellektuellen Weg innerhalb des CSI, den er aus der Perspektive aktueller Fragestellungen reflektiert und neu bewertet. Der Autor zeigt, wie das CSI seit seiner Gründung eine Soziologie entwickelte, welche den Objekten größere Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, mit denen es sich befasste (Recht, Wissenschaft und Technik, Ökonomie, Kultur) und diskutiert Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in der damals in der STS und auf dem Gebiet der Kultur geleisteten Feldforschung, so etwa die Verwendung von Begriffen wie Übersetzung und Mediation oder das unterschiedliche Verhältnis zu Bourdieus kritischer Soziologie. Im Anschluss befasst der Text sich mit dem langsamen Aufkommen pragmatistischer Ansätze in Frankreich. Gestützt auf diese Genealogie schließt er mit dem Vorschlag einer Neuformulierung der Thesen des Pragmatismus in der Soziologie ausgehend von seiner eigenen Arbeit zu Liebhabern und Attachements.

This paper focuses on a reflexive return made by Hennion on his own trajectory within the CSI, in order to reread it from the perspective of present issues. The author shows how, from its very foundation the CSI developed a sociology more sensitive to the objects it deals with (law, science and technology, business, culture), and discusses convergences and differences between fieldwork then undertaken by STS and on culture: e.g. the use of terms like translation or mediation, or the different relation to Bourdieu's critical sociology. The paper then considers the slow emergence of pragmatist approaches in France. Leaning on this genealogy, the author concludes by suggesting a reformulation of such pragmatist claims in sociology from his own work on and attachments.
The Effect of PQRST and SGD Methods on Students’ Reading Comprehension at Dehasen University
Authors: Febrianti Mariska
Published: March 2019

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two methods, PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, State and Test) and SGD (Small Group Discussion). It was carried out at the second semester students of Penjaskesrek Department, Dehasen University. The design was a quasi-experiment. The sample consisted of two classes; one was taught by the PQRST method and another by the SGD method. The instrument was a reading test, which was tried-out; the reliability was 0.917 (very high). The result was as follows: at the pretest, there was no significant difference between both group on all aspects and at the post test, there were no significant difference between both groups on general comprehension, reading to learn from the text, and reading to integrate information. However, SGD was found to be more effective on finding general information while PQRST was found to be more effective on reading to skim and finding simple information.
The Idea of State
Authors: Giltard Daniel
Published: March 2019

Svaka rasprava o ideji države nadilazi okvire državne aktivnosti. Ako je to slučaj, onda se mora voditi računa o javnim politikama koje država proizvodi. Autor naglašava da postoji nekoliko razloga zašto često nema potrebe postavljati pitanja o tome što je i odakle potječe država? Mišljenje sociologa Pierrea Bourdieua dano je kao jedan od razloga. Naglašava se „amnezija geneze“ svake uspješne institucije. Naime, prema mišljenju P. Bourdieua, institucija je uspješna kada se uspije nametnuti kao očigledna i time ne postavlja pitanje njezina podrijetla. Institucionalizirano stanje jednostavno postoji. Državna reforma, njezine misije i organizacija moraju se namjerno pripremati prema onome što čini državu. Imajući to u vidu, Državno vijeće je od 2013. do 2015. godine organiziralo nekoliko konferencija na temu: „Gdje je država?“ O tome se govori i u ovomwe tekstu. Nadalje, autor postavlja pitanje o nastanku samog pojma: kada, gdje, tko, kako, zašto? Kako je stvoren koncept države? Što su, prema mišljenju odvjetnika, glavne značajke države? U svjim odgovorima autor naglašava da je država kontinuirana tvorevina.
État et justice
Authors: Chabanol Daniel
Published: March 2019

L’administration de la justice est par sa nature même une mission d’Etat (CE section 27 février 2004, Popin, n° 217257 : « la justice est rendue de façon indivisible au nom de l’Etat »). Ce qu’exprime la rédaction des actes juridictionnels français officiels, qui tous sont prononcés « au nom du peuple français », et donc jamais au nom d’une région, ou d’une commune : la justice officielle ne saurait être décentralisée. Avec elle nous abordons un pan de l’action d’Etat qui n’est pas réductible à une quelconque mécanique organisationnelle. Si les missions de défense, de sécurité, de maintien de l’ordre, de gestion monétaire, de santé publique peuvent, quelque délicates parfois qu’elles soient, se ramener à la mise en place de moyens adaptés aux fins poursuivies, la mission de justice ne saurait s’apprécier à l’aune des seuls moyens mis en œuvre. A dire le vrai, toutes les actions publiques sont soumises au jugement (et donc à l’objectif) de justice : la fiscalité, l’éducation, la santé, l’équipement du territoire, la dépense publique non affectée (correspondant par exemple à l’action de sécurité, ou de défense), sont évalués, entre autres, au regard d’une exigence de justice, laquelle n’est donc pas l’apanage du ministère de la justice. Mais, à l’inverse des autres départements ministériels, qui ont pour mission de « faire », de « fabriquer » (des recettes publiques, de la sécurité, de l’éducation, des routes, de la santé publique…), et qui placent plus ou moins de justice dans cette œuvre de fabrication, le ministère de la justice n’est pas responsable…de la justice dans le pays, mais d’une administration qui a pour seul objet de mettre fin aux conflits opposant soit les sujets de droit entre eux (différends civils), soit ces sujets à la puissance publique (différends pénaux ou administratifs). C’est là sa seule mission, mais elle est fondamentale : il faut à toute société organisée une instance qui décide du terme définitif des litiges, que ce soit par la manifestation supposée de la volonté divine (les ordalies) ou par le jeu de mécanismes qui peuvent être brutaux (les procès staliniens) ou sophistiqués (les sociétés démocratiques). Si l’on veut bien se souvenir de ce que Hobbes nous a exposé quant à l’origine de l’Etat, dire ce qui est « le juste » est la mission de l’Etat, dont nous attendons qu’il mette en œuvre les moyens qui nous permettront de savoir « ce qui est juste », non point dans l’organisation générale de la société (qu’est-ce qu’une fiscalité juste ?) mais dans le règlement des litiges.

Država nije samo pravna konstrukcija niti se može sažeti na njene procedure i legitimna ograničenja. Država se sastoji od fizičkih osoba koje na različite načine usmjeravaju njenu djelatnost. Načini opsluživanja države prije svega se temelje na stalnom razmatranju važnosti tih dužnosti i filozofije države. Stoga se stalno javlja ovo pitanje: služimo li državi kao što smo to činili prije? Odgovor na ovo pitanje svakako nije isti svugdje. Dužnosnici u Republici Hrvatskoj sigurno neće odgovoriti na to pitanje kao dužnosnici u Republici Francuskoj. Dajemo li tim riječima isto značenje u: Parizu, Bruxellesu, Zagrebu ili Washingtonu? Bez sumnje odgovor je ne. Odgovor na ovo pitanje uvjetovan je poviješću određenog stanja i njegovom konfiguracijom. Međutim, bez obzira na postojeće razlike, smatramo da su izazovi koji nas danas suočavaju isti kao i oni prije, s obzirom na to da je jedan zahtjev i dalje isti, a to je: osjećaj pripadnosti javnoj službi i profesionalni primjer. Evolucija je svakako još uvijek u tijeku i povezana je s transformacijskim oznakama države koje nedvojbeno utječu na služenje državi. Stoga se u ovom članku raspravlja o klasičnom i suvremenom konceptu javne službe.
Décision administrative et démocratie administrative
Authors: Plessix Benoît
Published: March 2019

Administrativna demokracija nije beskoristan mehanizam. Stoga se u ovom članku razmatra: referendum o građanskoj inicijativi na lokalnoj razini, savjetodavna tijela na lokalnoj razini koja okupljaju dužnosnike na lokalnoj razini i krajnje korisnike, poruke koje proizlaze iz upravne demokracije itd. Naglašava da administrativna demokracija favorizira sudjelovanje u javnom odlučivanju raznih stručnih ljudi i potrebi sustavne prisutnosti različitih sudionika u raspravi (građanske udruge, itd.). Naposljetku, uočeni su i nedostaci upravne demokracije.
Demokratska vladavina prava
Authors: Jouanjan Olivier
Published: March 2019

In Europe, democracy has a bright future. Not one democratic mechanism, however direct, cannot guarantee direct democracy. Therefore, the theory of populism by theoretician Carl Schmitt is analyzed « thoughts on Schmitt against Schmitt : Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde“. Furthermore, the democratic myth is discussed and its ideology. The state of rule of law of modern democracy and the two faces of modern democracy are analyzed. The need to participate in civil society in administrative control is stressed. The relation of the tension between democracy and rule of law is observed. The need to consider the concept of considering modern democracy in relation to the idea of rule of law, democracies under conditions of modern politics on the basis of which Böckenförde, referring to Hegel, calls the problem „division “are emphasized. It is precisely from this problem that Böckenförde shows that modern democracy can only be representative. Representation is a fundamental principle of the rule of law while representation means a system of formation necessary for expressing the political will of the people. Every formation of the collective process means the introduction of standards of procedure, significant guarantees and formal conditions of this process.
The Evolution of Boris Pasternak’s Poetic Language (Based on the Poems Melʹnitsy and Balʹzak)
Authors: Salvatore Roberta
Published: March 2019

The aim of this paper is to discuss how Pasternak’s poetic language changed over the 10-year period stretching from the mid-1910s to the mid-1920s. The transition from futurist text structure towards the search for an “unheard-of simplicity” will be shown through an analysis of two poems, Melʹnitsy and Balʹzak, written respectively in 1916 and 1927. We intend to prove that these texts contain the same set of images and themes, but they are constructed in such different ways that it becomes hard to identify their similarities. To show further evidence of this evolution, we will also carry out an analysis of the second version of Melʹnitsy, which was printed in 1929. As a result, we can say that Pasternak’s early poetry produces contradictory impressions, since an apparently direct self-expression coexists with a highly structural awareness. This puzzling effect can be explained as a peculiar form of communication, in which a specific meaning is hidden under what appears at the surface to be semantic incoherence. The later shift in Pasternak’s poetry towards a greater coherence and simplicity is due to his eagerness to reach a new public, one that—unlike his previous audience—was not able to penetrate the complex structure of his earlier approach.
Understanding and affecting school water behaviour using technological interventions
Authors: Ripunda` Cheroline , Booysen Marthinus Johannes
Published: March 2019

This paper studies and reports the water usage behaviour of a primary school in Stellenbosch in the period leading up to the 2018 drought. The aims of the study was to characterise water consumption patterns for a school, and to quantify the effects of the technology-driven interventions on behavioural change. Three interventions were implemented using smart meter data: posters, playing cards, and daily presentations. The school’s water usage pattern was found to be predictive and regular, except for daily losses, which were extrapolated from measured nightly flow. The water usage distribution was Gaussian with the mean being centred around break time. The interventions were able to reduce water consumption of the school by 44% when compared to the use of a school in the same town where the interventions were not implemented.

The Factors Associated with Accelerating and Reducing Postpartum Depression
Authors: CARTER HALEY
Published: March 2019

There is scarce research that has been conducted to understand this mental ailment and how it pertains to new mothers, and what factors cause a new mother to experience PPD. One troubling aspect about this illness is that there is no real knowledge about how many people are afflicted by this each year. The best estimate is that 1.9% to 82.1% women are infected each year (Norhayati, et al., 2015). This is a huge gap that informs researchers that almost no females to almost every female worldwide is plagued by PPD. Even more alarming than this wide range is that little knowledge is available about what factors cause PPD but some of the likely contributing factors are race, socioeconomic status (SES), and family support.
Conceptualisation in reference production: Probabilistic modelling and experimental testing
Authors: van Gompel Roger P.G. , van Deemter Kees , Gatt Albert , Snoeren Rick , Krahmer Emiel
Published: March 2019

In psycholinguistics, there has been relatively little work investigating conceptualisation –how speakers decide which concepts to express. This contrasts with work in natural language generation (NLG), a subfield of AI, where much research has explored content determination during the generation of referring expressions. Existing NLG algorithms for conceptualisation during reference production do not fully explain previous psycholinguistic results, so we developed new models that we tested in three language production experiments.In our experiments, participants described target objects to another participant. In Experiment 1, either its size, its colour, or both its size and colour distinguished the target from all distractor objects; in Experiment 2, either colour, type or both colour and type distinguished it from all distractors; In Experiment 3, either colour, size or the border around the object distinguished the target. We tested how well the different models fit the distribution of description types (e.g., “small candle”, “grey candle”, “small grey candle”) that participants produced.Across these experiments, the PRO model provided the best fit. In this model, speakers first choose a property that rules out all distractors. If there is more than one such property, then they probabilistically choose one based on a preference for that property. Next, they sometimes add another property, with the probability again determined by its preference and speakers’ eagerness to overspecify.

Effect of sintering temperature on the densification and optical properties of spark plasma sintered ZnSe ceramics
Authors: Ehsani Marzieh , Safian Saman , Zakeri Mohammad , Rahimipour Mohammad Reza
Published: March 2019

In the present study, ZnSe ceramics were sintered at different temperatures in the range of 900 °C to 1 100 °C by spark plasma sintering. Microstructure, hardness, phase composition, and the optical properties of the ceramics were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, micro-Vickers hardness, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that temperature has a strong effect on grain growth as well as on reducing porosity and improving the properties. The optimal combination of properties (99.5 % density, 165 kg mm−2 hardness and 30 % transmission) was achieved after sintering at 1 100 °C for a holding time of 10 min with an applied pressure of 90 MPa. Furthermore, the grains tended to orient along the spark plasma sintering direction via preferential grain growth that was observed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
Merab Mamardashvili: Event of Thought and Pedagogic Practice
Authors: Ryndin D. G.
Published: March 2019

The concept of event has been widely disseminated in various fields of human sciences, including the psychology of education and pedagogics. If one seeks to explore the full heuristic potential of the concept, it is necessary to take into account its essential affiliation with non-classical ontology. The article presents an attempt to analyze the inner structure of Merab Mamardashvili’s oral philosophical speech, that can be considered a distinctive feature of the series of lection courses, which he held in the late 70-ies – beginning of 80-ies mainly for the audience of non-philosophers. The article deals with the research of essential connection between form and content of Mamardashvili’s philosophy. In the light of this connection the article reviews the project of the non-classical ontology of cognition, that Mamardashvili develops in some of his main works.

The first part of the article contains an exposition of the problem field of “event” in the context of history and ontology of cognition, as well as reconstruction of the genesis of this theme in Mamardashvili’s philosophy. Mamardashvili describes the classical type of rationality and its “blind spots” – that is, historicity and “evental” character of phenomena of cognition, which cannot be seen in the objectifying gaze of the classical observer. An attempt is made to analyze Mamardashvili’s concept of conscience in the context of his phenomenology of event. The term “epiphany” is interpreted as a key characteristic of events of cognition.

The second part of the article deals with the uniqueness of Merab Mamardashvili’s oral philosophical speech, that is interpreted as one of the strategies of indirect communication. Indirect communication is distinguished from direct communication of knowledge, the central model of classical pedagogics. The article studies several different approaches to interpretation of Merab Mamardashvili’s teaching strategy and proposes the approach that is based on the concept of indirect communication of event of cognition.
Educational Policies of Writing and Reading (A commentary on D.G. Ryndin’s article “Merab Mamardashvili: event of thought and pedagogic practice”)
Authors: Polonnikov A. A.
Published: March 2019

The paper contains an “asymmetric commentary” on a philosophical text by means of its subsequent placing in the educational contexts. The first of them is related to an explication of the cultural mission of a pedagogical project suggested by the article. The second one is aimed at the analysis of the pedagogical action of the text determined by the writing/reading samples placed in it. The third one performs the function of a counter-text problematizing a pedagogical program of the article being commented. The exhaustion of orientation to symbolic identification with invariant symbols of culture is substantiated. Educational transformation is connected with overcoming the methodological individualism. Education is transformed into a subject of public collaboration. The emphasis in collective work has to be placed not on establishment of the coordinated definition situation, but on the conflict of its interpretations, collision of practical positions and detection of qualitatively various educational prospects. The commentary by means of the trial-and-error method also researches a possibility of building a demonstrative description able to cause dereification effects in the writing/reading processes. It is supposed that deconstructive writing can become a major element of students’ academic competence in the process of university training.

THE UNCANNY HOMES OF FATİH AKIN’S HEAD-ON
Authors: AYTEMİZ Pelin
Published: March 2019

This article attempts to further the debate around the issues of Transnational Cinema by exploring Ahmet Gürata’s delineation of the phases of this genre. It traces the patterns of the model, especially those clustered around the symbol “home” in Gegen Die Wand (Head-On the 2004 film by Fatih Akın, Discussions resulting from the narrative and character analysis revolve around the way the film shifts the meanings of identity, home, and belonging, and focuses on the conceptualization and visualization of diasporic “homely” spaces. The discussion of belonging includes both the notion of belonging to a home/homeland and to something that might be described as an “uncanny” experience. The article also depends on Hamid Naficy’s (2001) description of Accented Cinema, and uses that model to make sense of exilic /diasporic films. Looking at diasporic places and exilic subjects that transcend the binaries of host-home or migrant-citizen, the article argues that Head-On calls for an alternative way of perceiving identity by narrating how different ways of being “at home” can be possible.
Identifying Victims of Human Trafficking on International and Domestic Flights
Authors: Gough Elle
Published: March 2019

This research aims to determine if the current protocols on International and Domestic airline carriers regarding persons traveling against their will can lead to the identification and intervention for victims of human trafficking. The research will consist of a literary study on the relevant discourse relating to human trafficking, an analysis of the current human trafficking training modules readily available, in addition to a survey component, to include insight from individuals currently working in the field of airline transportation. The results of this research will lead to a more thorough understanding of how airline carriers are currently handling situations of human trafficking, and how these methods or trainings can be improved for identifying potential victims of human trafficking on flights.
Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Comorbid PTSD and TBI in Combat Veterans
Authors: Clees Jennifer
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this paper was to summarize what is currently known about diagnosing and treating comorbid PTSD and TBI in combat veterans, beginning with a focus on differential diagnosis of the two disorders in order to elucidate any obfuscation by overlaps in symptomology, and concluding with possible treatment plans, as informed by the diagnostic process.  Differential diagnosis was evaluated via self-reported and clinician-administered questionnaires, oculomotor testing, and neuroimaging, while the discussion of treatment options acknowledged the necessity of adjustments to traditional treatment paradigms when a comorbid diagnosis is involved.  Self-reporting diagnostic tools are quick and easy to screen for PTSD and TBI, but these methods may over-report PTSD, and under-report TBI.   Clinician-administered questionnaires are longer and require a trained professional, but accuracy is gained. The oculomotor testing and SPECT scanning hold promise if the experiments can be repeated with larger sample sizes by additional researchers, but they do appease a more impartial evidence-based approach.  Psychotherapy is generally the number one recommended treatment for PTSD and TBI, due to its efficacy compared to pharmaceuticals, and further studies elucidating the efficacy of varieties of psychotherapy treatment may benefit individuals with this comorbid diagnosis.
Northern and Southern Moche: The Stylistic Distinctions of Face-Neck Vessels Across Regions
Authors: Trono Shannon Marie
Published: March 2019

This essay is an investigation of stylistic differences in the ceramic production of “face-neck” vessels from the Middle Moche Period (400-600 CE) of the Northern and Southern Moche regions. These face-neck vessels are also referred to as effigy vessels or cántaros cara gollete in Andean ceramic classifications. Face-neck vessels take the shape of human bodies where the torso and limbs have been condensed into a large globular mass; on the neck (the spout of the vessel) appears a human face in relief. In this paper, I focus on fineware face-necks rather than utilitarian wares since the majority of the vessels in this discussion originate from monumental funerary complexes for the elite. Face-neck vessels were commonly used to holds liquids like corn beer, which was consumed in ceremonial practices. By comparing vessels produced contemporaneously by Northern and Southern Moche polities, I have developed a set of distinctions in form, surface decoration, and finishing techniques that appear to distinguish each group.  Using these distinctions, I argue that two face-neck vessels from the Harn Museum of Art, which have an unknown provenience, originate from the Southern Moche region between stages III and IV in the Moche ceramic sequence. In the process, I discuss burial practices, the concept of dualism in Moche culture, and the significance of mold technology (with implications for Moche funerary practice). While my research relies heavily on external observation of effigy vessels, I integrate my knowledge and experience as a ceramicist to provide insight on production processes.
Predicting Credit Default Swap (CDS) Returns with Machine Learning
Authors: Zhang Terrence (Yidong)
Published: March 2019

Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) are contracts that insure one party against default in an underlying financial instrument, usually a bond. Therefore, the price of CDS reflects the perceived risk of default in an underlying financial instrument. This project applied Support Vector Machines (“SVMs”) to the prediction of CDS price changes for several individual companies across time. Previous research applying SVMs to predicting CDS prices used historical CDS prices as model inputs. This project proposed and applied several new input variables. Tests over a period of several years, across a group of CDS time-series, indicate that a combined model which uses the new input variables in addition to historical CDS price changes outperforms models that only use historical CDS price changes.
Aprons Made from Canvas: The Legacies of Marie-Jacob Godefroid, Restauratrice to the French Royal Art Collections, 1741-1775
Authors: Altun Yasemin
Published: March 2019

Eighteenth-century Paris was a site for significant changes in the art world, whether stylistically in the movement from Rococo towards Neoclassicism or socially in the growing presence of female artists. One field that emerged in this milieu was art restoration, here referring to the treatment of easel paintings in order to prevent signs of aging, such as surface discoloration, warping, etc. This paper focuses on Marie-Jacob Godefroid, a female art restorer active in the mid-eighteenth century whose career was unique in several regards, whether in life as a widowed mother or in work as an art restorer-dealer who received royal recognition. Launched from this biographic approach, my paper seeks to identify broader conceptions of womanhood that allowed female artists paths to success in a field hard-set by patriarchal traditions.
Effect of Prenatal Lactation Education on Lactation Success in Mothers at Risk of Preterm Delivery
Authors: Richburg Morgan Leigh
Published: March 2019

Background:Mothers of preterm infants often produce insufficient amounts of breast milk (BM).  Early initiation of BM expression following delivery is associated with increased lactation success, but lack of nursing time delays BM expression in this population.Purpose:To determine if providing antenatal breast expression education to the support person (SP) of mothers at risk of preterm delivery improves lactation success.Methods: Twenty women at risk for delivering a preterm infant and their SP were randomized into two groups. Mothers and their SP in Group 1 received education regarding how to use a breast pump and a breast pump was placed into their hospital room. Group 2 received standard care. Data regarding BM volume produced, time to initiation of BM expression and time to onset of lactogenesis stage II was collected.Results: While there was no difference in time to onset of lactogenesis stage II, mothers in Group 1 initiated BM expression 2.5 hours earlier than those in Group 2.   Overall, BM production was higher in Group 1.Limitations: This study had a relatively small sample size (n=19). Only mothers delivering 31-33 weeks gestation were included. This is a single-center study, which may limit generalizability.Conclusion: Prenatal lactation education of mothers of preterm infants and their SP is feasible and may increase lactation success.

This review paper evaluates the current clinical and research practices for diagonising and treating TBI and mTBI. It provides an overview of the new emerging treatments for mTBI and TBI that are in varying stages of research. The paper analyzes the shortcomings and practices of diagnosing mTBI and TBI and also evaluates new and potentially break-through mTBI and TBI treatments such as Iron Chelators, Cellular Therapy, Cannabinoid Receptor Treatment, Electroaccupuncture, and Transcanial Magnetic Stimulation.  While the current method of diagnosis for severe TBI is sound, mTBIs remain largely undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This paper identifies the limitations of current neuroimaging and diagnostic techniques for mTBI and TBI. There are many current treatments for the primary symptoms/damage of TBI and mTBI (severe swelling, trauma, neuroinflammation, edema, diffuse axonal damage, and loss of consciousness). However, there is little or no treatment for secondary injuries (personality shifts, free iron collection, cognitive deficits in short-term memory, abstract reasoning, and many unique deficits dependent on the site of injury).  This review paper seeeks to evaluate emerging research and diagnostic methods and explores possible new directions for diagnosis and  conceivable conjunction therapies to treat multiple aspects and deficits of mTBI and TBI.
A Holographic Quantum Code
Authors: Elliot Grant
Published: March 2019

Abstract: It was shown by [2] how bulk operators in the AdS/CFT correspondence can be represented on the boundary analogously to the way logical qubits are represented in an encoded subspace in quantum error correction. Then in [1]  holographic tensor networks that serve as toy models of the bulk boundary. This paper reviews some of the developments of [1] and [2]. Then it is demonstrated explicitly how to construct perfect tensors, which are essential to the tensor networks mentioned in [2]. Lastly a new example of a holographic quantum error-correcting code based on an eight index perfect tensor is presented.
Inefficient Force Generation in 3-D Printed Prosthetics
Authors: Thomas Morgan Ashley , Arce Stephen Hugo
Published: March 2019

The process of 3-d printing prosthetic hands has been used to make prosthetics more widely available by lowering the cost. However, many of these devices are not mechanically tested once they are constructed and they may not achieve their intended function. This study quantifies the efficiency and magnitude of mechanically activated grip strength in a 3-d printed prosthetic hand. A rig stabilized the hand on a dynamometer at an angle such that added weight created a constant downward force and engaged the grip. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of the hand would act as a friction device and propagate less force on the dynamometer when engaged than weights alone. The results supported the hypothesis and can aid in classifying the function of the hand for certain tasks such as holding a cup. This study can inform new designs to improve the efficiency of grip strength in similar devices. Furthermore, quantitative data on the strength of the fingers can better inform how custom hand devices will be suited to specific tasks.
The present state of global scientific debate in the field of financial development
Authors: Danilov Yuriy A.
Published: March 2019

The article attempts to summarize the results of a global scientific discussion in the field of financial development. Four areas of research on financial development have been identified and analyzed, which seem to be the most noticeable and significant both for the global economic discussion and for Russian experts: the impact of financial development on economic growth; the problem of assessing financial development; financial inclusion; sustainable finance concept. It is noted that the last two areas are closely related to the concepts of socio-economic development, respectively, of inclusive growth (“growth for all”) and of sustainable development. The necessity of taking into account the latest achievements of the world scientific thought in the Russian state policy concerning the financial sector is substantiated.

Published: March 2019

The goal was create and validate a booklet about sustainable environmental practices in the production line of commercial restaurants. Theoretical, empirical and analytical references were used. The theoretical procedure was based on the literature. Contents considered relevant to sustainable environmental practices were identified. In the empirical research, an on line checklist was applied to restaurant owners, which resulted in the content and illustration of the booklet. In the analytical research, the booklet was submitted for the final evaluation of a panel of nutritionists. A subject was considered relevant when it obtained a minimum agreement of 80% of the judges. The booklet presented a result of 96% to 100% agreement in eleven topics and their respective items and illustrations. The final booklet was composed of six topics. Because it’s comprehensive, it’s an information tool that makes possible to assist managers and other workers in the food segment, allowing adaptations to the different food Units.

To evaluate sustainable practices in the production of meals: the use of water and energy, the presence of chemical products, the generation of organic and inorganic residues and criteria related to the purchase of food. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from October 2015 to January 2016. The convenience sample consisted of 20 commercial self-service restaurants of varied gastronomy in the city of Santos-SP, of which 10 were located in the region of Orla and 10 downtown. Information was obtained by means of the application of a structured checklist based on the recommendations of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and an interview. Results: In the descriptive data analysis, we observed a greater number of sustainable actions in the region of Orla, corresponding to 75% (n=12) of the sixteen items evaluated, which are evidenced in the questions that refer to the sustainable use of water 100% (n=4) and electrical energy: 100% (n=3), adequate management of organic and inorganic waste: 66,66% (n=2) and rationality in aspects related to economy: 66,66% (n=2). Conclusion: Sustainability in the production of meals involves a set of practices, which were observed more expressively in the Orla region.

Este trabalho aborda a percepção ambiental e a análise da paisagem do perímetro urbano do Rio Grajaú, na cidade de mesmo nome, estado do Maranhão. O objetivo foi analisar a percepção ambiental da população grajauense em relação às mudanças ocorridas na paisagem do rio Grajaú, bem como os impactos gerados pelas atividades humanas ao longo dos últimos anos. A pesquisa foi qualitativa e a metodologia constituiu-se de revisão bibliográfica acerca dos termos paisagem e percepção ambiental nas abordagens geográficas e utilizaram-se os indicadores da qualidade visual da paisagem, proposta metodológica adaptada de Pires (2005). Para se verificar o grau de percepção ambiental da população, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados mostraram que a paisagem do rio Grajaú apresenta média qualidade visual e, embora a população apresente sensibilidade em relação à situação do rio, são poucas as ações para a sua conservação.

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a viabilidade de culturas probióticas na fabricação do queijo de Coalho. Foram utilizados três tratamentos com três repetições: queijo de Coalho adicionado Lactobacillus acidophilus (T1); queijo de Coalho adicionado Bifidobacterium lactis (T2); e queijo de Coalho tradicional, sem adição de cultura (T3). Os queijos foram analisados quanto à sua composição físico-química e sensorial a cada 7 dias até o 28º dia. O tratamento T1 apresentou contagem populacional probiótica dentro do permitido pela legislação e não houve diferenciação sensorial significativa entre os demais. Portanto, o Queijo de Coalho adicionado de L. acidophilus apresentou condições propícias para ser considerado uma nova alternativa de alimento probiótico.
