‘A Hint of Joy Before it All Goes to Hell’
Authors: Grimm Joshua
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses how David Robert Mitchell repeatedly listed John Carpenter as one of his main influences. It describes the opening scenes of Mitchell's It Follows on a tree-lined suburban street outside Detroit at dusk, which is considered a sister city of Haddonfield from the film Halloween (1978). It also explains the horror prologue as an essential component to the genre that serves as a mini trailer and provides a justification of the monster or as a way of keeping the audience tense or aware that they are watching a horror film and not a drama. The chapter assesses the striking opening vignette of It Follows, which is more than a typical horror film opening that features the killer attacking. It mentions Mitchell's first movie The Myth of the American Sleepover in 2011, which played a role in creating the world of It Follows.
Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: Deconstructing The Entity
Authors: Grimm Joshua
Published: February 2021

This chapter focuses on how David Robert Mitchell's It Follows stands out from its horror brethren through ingenious design and use of the entity. It explains Mitchell's preference to use a shape-shifting killing machine instead of the traditional masked murderer, which added another dimension of suspense to an already-horrifying concept. It also discusses how a standard slasher/stalker/serial killer is grounded by the fact that it's a human committing the murders since that individual suddenly cannot take flight or turn invisible. The chapter reviews the basic rules of Mitchell's entity in It Follows, which implies that the entity will follow people, it can look like anyone, it's slow but not dumb, and it can be rid of by sleeping with someone else. It emphasizes that the threat is only as effective as the rules surrounding an antagonist when introducing a new element.
Archeology
Authors: Skaff Sheila
Published: February 2021

This chapter outlines ways Paweł Pawlikowski's Ida is a unique feature film, such as its cinematography and use of diegetic sound that differentiate it from contemporary films. It points out how Ida is a rare film in the Holocaust genre as it never mentions Nazi concentration camps or the Jewish ghettos that were created by the Nazis in large cities in Poland. It also analyses the unique storyline that may seem implausible to audiences that a girl could grow up in a convent without any knowledge that her family is Jewish. The chapter discusses how Ida was compared to documentary films, which is one of the most significant aspects of its reception as a film. It mentions Pawlikowski, who emphasized that it is only in art that filmmakers have the luxury of being true-to-life, despite his earlier success as a documentary filmmaker.
‘But then what?’
Authors: Skaff Sheila
Published: February 2021

This chapter talks about Paweł Pawlikowski's Ida as an ultimate film that speaks to any community that has been kept from fulfilling its full human potential in the last century. It emphasizes Ida's acknowledgement of Nazism, Stalinism, the Cold War, and political oppression throughout the world that have forced people into situations that they would have otherwise avoided. It also discusses how Ida is a film about meditation on the limitations that war, powerful ideologues, and forced emigration place on their survivors. This chapter mentions critic Tadeusz Sobolewski of Gazeta Wyborza, who wrote that Ida's dilemma lies in bearing the weight of evil that she has hidden herself. It examines Ida's silent refusal, spiritual transcendence, and way of coping with her personal tragedy and loss, which is considered a common fate among immigrants and orphans.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
Authors: Hallam Lindsay
Published: February 2021

When David Lynch's film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, a prequel to the television series Twin Peaks, premiered at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, it was met with met with outright hostility. Subsequent reviews from critics were almost unanimously negative, and many fans of the show felt betrayed, as their beloved town was suddenly revealed as a personal hell. Yet in the years since the film's release, there has begun to be a gradual wave of reappraisal and appreciation, one that accelerated with the broadcast of Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017. What has been central to this reevaluation is the realization that what Lynch had created was not a parody of soap opera and detective television but a horror movie. This book argues that the horror genre aids Lynch's purpose in presenting the protagonist Laura Palmer's subjective experience leading to her death as the incorporation of horror tropes actually leads to a more accurate representation of a victim's suffering and confusion. The book goes on to explore how the film was an attempt by Lynch to take back ownership of the material and to examine the initial reaction and subsequent reevaluation of the film, as well as the paratexts that link to it and the influence that Fire Walk with Me now has on contemporary film and across popular culture.
Filled with Secrets: Fire Walk With Me as a Twin Peaks Film
Authors: Hallam Lindsay
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines how David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me enriched and expanded the underlying mythology of the Twin Peaks universe despite being narrowed in scope. It details the excitement of fans when it was announced that David Lynch was going to return to Twin Peaks in the form of a feature film. It also reveals how fans did not anticipate the Twin Peaks film to be a prequel that shows the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer. The chapter points out how Fire Walk With Me film was not intended to appease those who wanted to know the fates of the many characters after the series finale, but to delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding Laura's death and the connection to a supernatural realm. It examines Fire Walk With Me's shooting script that several scenes which include series regulars in cameo appearances.
Rollerball
Authors: Nette Andrew
Published: February 2021

Rollerball, the Canadian-born director and producer Norman Jewison's 1975 vision of a future dominated by anonymous corporations and their executive elite, in which all individual effort and aggressive emotions are subsumed into a horrifically violent global sport, remains critically overlooked. What little has been written deals mainly with its place within the renaissance of Anglo-American science-fiction cinema in the 1970s, or focuses on the elaborately shot, still visceral to watch, game sequences, so realistic they briefly gave rise to speculation Rollerball may become an actual sport. Drawing on numerous sources, including little examined documents in the archive of the film's screenwriter William Harrison, this book examines the many dimensions of Rollerball's making and reception: the way it simultaneously exhibits the aesthetics and narrative tropes of mainstream action and art-house cinema; the elaborate and painstaking process of world creation undertaken by Jewison and Harrison; and the cultural forces and debates that influenced them, including the increasing corporate power and growing violence in Western society in late 1960s and early 1970s. The book shows how a film that was derided by many critics for its violence works as a sophisticated and disturbing portrayal of a dystopian future that anticipates numerous contemporary concerns, including ‘fake news’ and declining literary and historical memory. The book includes an interview with Jewison on Rollerball's influences, making, and reception.
Towards Rollerball
Authors: Nette Andrew
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses the origins of Rollerball (1975) in the context of science-fiction cinema in the late 1960s and the first half of the 1970s, when the genre began a move to the centre of the commercial film business. It also took a distinctly dark turn as the impact of the Vietnam War, economic recession, the OPEC oil crisis, debates about overpopulation, environmental destruction, and, in the US, urban decay, and the political corruption revealed by the Watergate scandal worked their way into public consciousness. These concerns were all reflected in 1970s science fiction, and particularly percolated up in the decade's dystopian offerings. They also gave rise to the paranoia cycle of Hollywood thrillers that appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s, in the context of which aspects of Rollerball can be viewed. The chapter then outlines some of the broader cultural debates William Harrison and Norman Jewison found themselves part of during the same period, principally concerns over increasing violence in professional American sport and society more generally, technological change, and growing corporate power.
The Pleasure to End All Pleasures
Authors: Deighan Samm
Published: February 2021

This chapter looks into the legacy of Fritz Lang's M. It examines how Lang's portrayal of a serial killer as protagonist went on to influence subsequent horror films and serial killer thrillers. It also describes how Lang innovatively used abnormal psychology as a source of monstrosity in place of the supernatural or mad science, which was popular with horror cinema in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. The chapter outlines ways M influenced everything from the emerging serial killer thriller subgenre to film noir through titles like Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) and Hangover Square (1945). It discusses how Lang continued to explore M's themes in his own later films and how they influenced more contemporary depictions of serial killers in both art-house cinema and mainstream horror films.
Mind in Motion: Watching Dune
Authors: McCrea Christian
Published: February 2021

This chapter explores David Lynch's Dune as one of science fiction's strangest outliers. It examines Dune's impressive cast, the lurid set designs, and the spiralling dialogue exchanges. It also charts the film's internal logic through key shots and scenes with reference to Frank Herbert's notes, Lynch's scripts, and the much discussed and controversial 'Alan Smithee' television edit of the film. The chapter describes Dune's final form that is acute with montages, voice-overs, interludes, inter-cuts, and fades in. It provides a close analysis of the film's unusual structure, summarizing how the material is loosely arranged and paying strict attention where the film demands it.

Early European Horror
Authors: Turnock Bryan
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses early European horror, identifying elements that would go on to become 'monster movie' convention. It looks at Paul Wegener and Carl Boese's Der Golem: Wie er in Die Welt Kam (The Golem: How He Came into the World, 1920). Most discussions of German Expressionism's influence on the horror genre tend to concentrate on stylistic traits such as the distinctive lighting and camerawork, and the break from traditionalist modes of visualisation and representation. Whilst this is certainly an important area, one must not neglect the thematic concerns of films such as Der Golem, Das Kabinett des Dr Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Robert Wiene, 1919), and Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau, 1922), which bind them both to the Expressionist movement and to the horror genre as it would later develop. The movement's pre-occupation with unpredictability, irrationality, chaos and instability found voice in tales of fatalism, alienation, ambiguity, and loss of personal control or identity.
Body Horror
Authors: Turnock Bryan
Published: February 2021

This chapter describes Canadian film-maker David Cronenberg as one of the most highly regarded auteurs within the horror genre. During the 1970s and 1980s, from low-budget independents to high-profile studio productions, the viewing of a 'David Cronenberg film' usually promised horror audiences a unique and disturbing experience. Coinciding with advances in make up and special effects, and the rise in popularity of the artists who created them, Cronenberg's films spearheaded one of the most popular sub-genres of the 1980s in the form of 'body horror'. The chapter looks at how and why this sub-genre emerged, a product of technological, commercial, and cultural changes in the industry, and how it relates to the 'transformation' films that had gone previously. It also discusses how such a distinctive director as Cronenberg was able to produce a successful mainstream horror film (The Fly, 1986) while remaining true to his own world view, and the lasting influence of his work on the genre as a whole.
Telegrams of Terror: The Making of Creepshow
Authors: Brown Simon
Published: February 2021

This chapter details the making of George A. Romero's Creepshow (1982). The idea for Creepshow arose from a discussion between Stephen King, Romero, and Romero's producer Richard P. Rubenstein that took place in Maine in the summer of 1979. The three men had met to come up with a concept for a film which would, they hoped, be sufficiently successful to attract investors to their proposed adaptation of The Stand. While King wrestled with turning The Stand into a viable length for a theatrical feature, the challenge for Romero and Rubenstein was to find the money. The decision was therefore made to collaborate on a medium-budget picture that would be a big enough hit to calm investors' fears and raise the necessary capital for The Stand. It was King who suggested the alternative concept of tying the film into EC horror comics of the 1950s, and who also came up with the name, Creepshow, at which point the idea of using different formats drifted away.
Nasty Things to Nasty People: Creepshow’s Moral Universe
Authors: Brown Simon
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses the influence of EC horror comics on George A. Romero's Creepshow (1982). Despite Romero and Stephen King openly acknowledging the influence of EC, it was not their intention to adapt EC stories, but rather to capture the essence of the comics, making Creepshow an homage to EC rather than an adaptation. This is attested to by the fact that two of the segments of Creepshow are based on stories already published by King. The result is that even though Creepshow draws upon both the subject matter and the themes of EC, they are nevertheless filtered through the different yet complementary preoccupations of King and Romero. The resulting film is therefore a hybrid text that combines elements from King, Romero, and EC, and this is particularly noticeable in the way in which the film adapts EC's moral landscape.
Tales from The Crate: Creepshow, EC and ‘Comic Book Style’
Authors: Brown Simon
Published: February 2021

This chapter examines how George A. Romero's Creepshow (1982) integrates EC's comic book visual style. At the same time as Romero and Stephen King were building upon EC's moral themes by introducing their own preoccupations, what they were also attempting was to create a film that integrated horror cinema and the visual look of EC comics. Interviewed in 1982, Romeo claimed that although it was ‘the irreverence and that graphic nature of the comics’ that attracted him to EC, the influence of EC in Creepshow ‘is not so much visual’. It is possible therefore that it was King who was initially the greater advocate for including comic book stylizations, since they were ‘very specifically planned and spelled out in the shooting script’. Although the influence of EC visuals was apparently of lesser importance to Romero initially, in its conception Creepshow was designed to ape the style of the comics to which it was an homage, and Romero certainly embraced this in the shooting, deliberately introducing moments that foreground a comic book visual style, including animated sequences, an expressionist use of colour at key moments, and the replication of the experience of reading a comic book through the use of panels within frames, gutters, and comic book style shot transitions.
Pushing the (Reset) Button: Why You Can’t Start Over
Authors: Kord Susanne
Published: February 2021

This chapter explains why 12 Monkeys was an unqualified commercial success, but remains Terry Gilliam's least understood film, both at and beyond the plot level. It analyses several genres that 12 Monkeys played with, such as apocalypse and post-apocalypse movies, sci-fi, nuclear noir, and geek dystopia. It also discusses time travel, free will versus determinism, and mental illness as themes of 12 Monkeys. The chapter mentions conspiracy theories that were included in the film, such as the impossibility of human closeness and the nature of reality. It examines intertextual links identified in literature that range from Frank Baum's The Magic of Oz to Omar Khayyám's The Rubáiyat, the Book of Revelations, Virgil's Aeneid, Hesiod, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Free Will, Determinism and Doing What You’re Told
Authors: Kord Susanne
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses time travel as the secondary device for exploring the idea of liberty in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. It analyzes the juxtaposition between free will and determinism, in which the film seems to be caught in something of a bind. It also explains time travel that is one-directional, in which the scientists only ever send people into the past, never into their own future to see if their plan will pan out. The chapter talks about how 12 Monkeys seems to suggest that it is possible to influence the future, which is an idea that is entirely reliant on the illusion of linear time. It examines the debate between compatibilists and incompatibilists that centres on a failure to distinguish between that which is known and that which is real.
Tyranny in the UK
Authors: Dinello Dan
Published: February 2021

This chapter discusses Alfonso Cuarón's method of layering richly detailed background information that serves as exposition of the Children of Men's totalitarian and xenophobic social landscape as well as articulation of its political and technological critique. It details how Children of Men compels the viewer to recognize how a tyrannical system dehumanizes and ostracizes people. It also analyses Children of Men's connection of the rise of British fascism to nationalism, xenophobia, and the public's complacency. The chapter explores the biological apocalypse that provokes geopolitical fracturing in Children of Men. It describes the Middle East wars and European immigration crisis portrayed in Children of Men.
CREATIVITY FORWARD: A FRAMEWORK THAT INTEGRATES DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO FOSTER CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CREATIVE PROCESS IN USER EXPERIENCE CONTEXTS
Authors: Quinones-Gomez Juan Carlos
Published: February 2021

The latest technological advancements allow users to generate a large volume of data related to their experiences and needs. However, the absence of an advanced methodology that links the big data and the creative process prevents the effective use of the data and extracting all its potential and knowledge in this context, which is crucial in offering user-centred solutions. Incorporating data creatively and critically as design material can help us learn and understand user needs better. Therefore, design can bring deeper meaning to data, just as data can enhance design practice. Accordingly, this work raises a reflection on whether designers could appropriate the workflow of data science in order to integrate it into the research process in the creative process within a framework of user experience analysis. The proposed model: data-driven design model, enhances the exploratory design of problem space and assists in the creation of ideas during the conceptual design phase. In this way, this work offers an integrated vision, enhancing creativity in industrial design as an instrument for the achievement of the proper and necessary balance between intuition and reason, design, and science.

Published: February 2021

This paper proposes a multi-objective Green Vehicle Routing Problem (G-VRP) considering two types of vehicles likely company-owned vehicle and third-party logistics in the imprecise environment. Focusing only on one objective, especially the distance in the VRP is not always right in the sustainability point of view. Here we present a bi-objective model for the G-VRP that can address the issue of the emission of GreenHouse Gases (GHGs). We also consider the demand as a rough variable. This paper uses the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to solve the proposed model. Finally, it uses Multicriteria Optimization and Compromise Solution (abbreviation in Serbian – VIKOR) method to determine the best alternative from the Pareto front.
Minimal Conditions for Survival of Technological Civilizations in the Face of Stellar Evolution
Authors: Hansen Bradley M. S. , Zuckerman Ben
Published: February 2021

The ease of interstellar rocket travel is an issue with implications for the long-term fate of our own and other civilizations and for the much-debated number of technological civilizations in the Galaxy. We show that the physical barrier to interstellar travel can be greatly reduced if voyagers are patient, and wait for the close passage of another star. For a representative time of ∼1 Gyr, characteristic of the remaining time that Earth will remain habitable, one anticipates a passage of another star within ∼1500 au. This lowers the travel time for interstellar migration by ∼two orders of magnitude compared with calculated travel times based on distances comparable to average interstellar separations (i.e., ∼1 pc) in the solar vicinity. We consider the implications for how long-lived civilizations may respond to stellar evolution, including the case of stars in wide binaries, and the difficulties of identifying systems currently undergoing a relevant close encounter. Assuming that life originates only around G-type stars, but migrates primarily to lower mass hosts when the original system becomes uninhabitable, the fraction of extant technological civilizations that exist as diaspora can be comparable to the fraction that still orbit their original host stars.

Published: February 2021

Since the discovery of chemically peculiar stars in globular clusters in the last century, the study of multiple populations has become increasingly important, given that chemical inhomogeneity is found in almost all globular clusters. Despite various proposed theories attempting to explain this phenomenon, fitting all the observational evidence in globular clusters with one single theory remains notoriously difficult and currently unsuccessful. In order to improve existing models and motivate new ones, we are observing globular clusters at critical conditions, e.g., metal-rich end, metal-poor end, and low mass end. In this paper, we present our first attempt to investigate multiple populations in low mass globular clusters. We obtained low-resolution spectra around 4000 Å of 30 members of the globular cluster Palomar 13 using OSIRIS/Multi-object spectrograph mounted at the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The membership of red giant branch stars is confirmed by the latest proper motions from Gaia DR2 and literature velocities. After comparing the measured CN and CH spectral indices with those of the stellar models, we found a clear sign of nitrogen variation among the red giant branch stars. Palomar 13 may be the lowest mass globular cluster showing multiple populations.
Rapid Refilling of the Lunar Wake under Transonic Plasma Flow: ARTEMIS Observations
Authors: Xu Xiaojun , Xu Jiaying , Xu Qi , Chang Qing , Wang Jing
Published: February 2021

The lunar wake is usually rapidly refilled when the background plasma is substantially subsonic. Here we present observational case studies, by the two ARTEMIS spacecraft, of the lunar wakes in the magnetosheath near the magnetopause under transonic plasma flows with relatively large plasma beta and different magnetic field orientations. The associated background plasma betas are near 1, suggesting that the plasmas are not strongly controlled by the magnetic fields. As a result, the part of the lunar wake under subsonic plasma was rapidly refilled. Pitch angle distributions reveal that a significant portion of the refilling ions are from the downstream wake. This is consistent with the fact that higher sound speed than bulk speed of the background plasma enables downstream particles to get access to upstream wake due to the pressure gradient. The other part under supersonic plasma remains a typical wake structure with high plasma density or flux depletions. Our results show that the Mach number and plasma beta primarily determine the rapid refilling of the lunar wake, which is allowed only in subsonic plasma with plasma beta greater than or close to 1 and hardly influenced at all by the magnetic field orientation.

We present near-IR (NIR) and optical observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) SN 2020oi in the galaxy M100 and the broad-lined SN Ic SN 2020bvc in UGC 9379, using Gemini, Las Cumbres Observatory, Southern Astrophysical Telescope, and other ground-based telescopes. The NIR spectrum of SN 2020oi at day 63 since the explosion shows strong CO emissions and a rising K-band continuum, which is the first unambiguous dust detection from an SN Ic. Non-LTE CO modeling shows that CO is still optically thick and that the lower limit to the CO mass is 10−3

We observe temporal changes of absorption features of the IR Ca ii triplet, S i at 1.043 μm, and Fe ii at 5169 Å. The blueshifted lines indicate high velocities, up to 60,000 km s−1 for SN 2020bvc and 20,000 km s−1 for SN 2020oi, and the expansion velocity rapidly declines before the optical maximum. We present modeled spectral signatures and diagnostics of CO and SiO molecular bands between 1.4 and 10 μm.

Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: This article is devoted to the study and improvement of theoretical approaches to the formation of the neo-industrialization paradigm as the basis of the innovative trajectory of the development of economic systems. The relevance of this study is due to the growing importance of neo-industrialization policies as an objective basis for the transition of the Russian economy to an innovative type.
AIM: The aim of the work is the theoretical justification and development of scientific and practical recommendations for the implementation of the innovative trajectory of the development of economic systems in the conditions of neo-industrial challenges.
METHODS: In the framework of this study, general scientific methods of cognition were used, namely, the method of analysis, synthesis, induction, structural and functional analysis. The article develops theoretical concepts and conceptual foundations of the formation of the neo-industrialization paradigm as the basis for the innovation of the Russian economy. The foreign and Russian experience of the formation and implementation of an innovative model for the development of economic systems with the elimination of specific characteristics of the implementation of innovative processes is studied.
RESULTS: The analysis is made and the most important parameters of the formation of the neo-industrialization paradigm are identified. Modern trends, critical neo-industrial challenges and threats to the innovative development of economic systems are structured, refined and typologized. The most effective instruments of state participation in enhancing innovation processes in the context of neo-industrial challenges have been consolidated.
CONCLUSION: A paradigm concept for the innovation of economic systems in the context of the implementation of neo-industrialization policies has been formed as a response to modern challenges and threats.

Published: February 2021

Two new species of Hybristodryinus Engel, 2005, are described from mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar: H. castaneussp. nov. (based on one male) and H. zaifuisp. nov. (based on one female). Keys to the females and males of Hybristodryinus species are modified to include the two new taxa. A syninclusion, a nymph of Cixitettiginae (Perforissidae), present in the same amber piece containing H. zaifui, is studied. This syninclusion, together with the presence of Antennal Dorsal Organs (ADOs) in Hybristodryinus, suggests that Perforissidae are possible hosts of Hybristodryinus.

Published: February 2021

In this study, we surveyed aphids and associated parasitoid wasps from six important crop species (wheat, sweet pepper, eggplant, broad bean, watermelon and sorghum), collected at 12 locations in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. A total of eight species of aphids were recorded which were parasitised by eleven species of primary parasitoids belonging to the families Braconidae and Aphelinidae. In addition, four species of hyperparasitoids (in families Encyrtidae, Figitidae, Pteromalidae and Signiphoridae) were recorded. Aphelinus albipodus (Hayat & Fatima, 1992), A. flaviventris (Kurdjumov, 1913), A. varipes (Förster, 1841) (Aphelinidae), Aphidius rhopalosiphi (De Stefani, 1902), A. uzbekistanicus (Luzhetzki, 1960), (Braconidae) and Alloxysta arcuata (Kieffer, 1902) (Figitidae) were recorded in Iraq for the first time. The results represent the first survey of these interactions in this region and form the basis for understanding crop-aphid-parasitoid-hyperparasitoid networks and for future biological control actions.
Forty-year natural history study of Bahalana geracei Carpenter, 1981, an anchialine cave-dwelling isopod (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cirolanidae) from San Salvador Island, Bahamas: reproduction, growth, longevity, and population structure
Authors: Carpenter Jerry H.
Published: February 2021

Almost nothing has been reported on the natural history of any of the world’s 92 species of cave cirolanids, including those from saltwater caves (anchialine). Over 1400 specimens ofBahalana geraceiCarpenter, 1981 were collected in two caves from 1978–2018; size-frequency data provided insight into population structure. Some specimens were maintained alive over multiple years to study rarely reported activities for cave cirolanids: feeding, molting, growth, longevity, and reproduction. Photographs document these phenomena. Mating occurred after gravid females shed both halves of reproductive molts. Females can have multiple broods (iteroparous) with ~2.0–3.5 years per reproductive cycle: egg production (~9–24 months), mating, brooding (5–6 months), release of 6–55 mancas (2.3–3.3 mm long), and oostegite molt (~2–13 months after manca release). Estimated lifetime fecundity is 58 mancas per female; probable range is 20–120. In Lighthouse Cave, females outnumbered males (~4:1), grew larger (16.8 vs. 9.5 mm), and lived longer. Growth rates were slow: ~1–2 years for three instars of post-marsupial manca development (from ~2.3–4.0 mm); estimated adult growth rate was 0.8 mm/year (1.6 molts/year) for males, and 0.5 mm/year (1.5 molts/year) for females. Longevity estimates for females are 25–28 years with 23–30 instars, vs. 6–8 years for males with 13–15 instars. Males from Major’s Cave were nearly as numerous and as large (14.8 mm) as females; estimated longevity for males is >20 years. Longevity estimates of >20 years appear to be the longest for any isopod species. Female longevity probably increased by being starvation resistant, surviving multiple broods, cannibalizing smallerB. geracei, and living in a low-stress environment. Populations appear to be stable, relatively large, and not currently threatened.
Empreintes : « guérir » d’un cancer pédiatrique
Authors: Seigneur Étienne

À partir du film Empreintes (Michèle et Bernard Dal Molin, 2015), construit sur les histoires de vie de quatre jeunes gens ayant été atteint d’un cancer durant leur enfance, l’auteur se propose d’interroger les multiples paradoxes que représente la guérison en onco-hématologie pédiatrique. Les éventuelles séquelles, les traces visibles et invisibles de la maladie tant au niveau corporel que psychique participent de la réalité avec laquelle les jeunes adultes doivent composer. Celles-ci les constituent également en retour, contribuant littéralement à forger leur propre identité. Est-il alors possible de guérir, de se sentir guéri lorsque le handicap signe le prix à payer de la guérison ? Quoi qu’il en soit l’élaboration et la mise en récit de l’expérience passée du cancer apparaissent comme un travail psychique nécessaire pour limiter la potentialité traumatique et permettre la vie d’adulte.
Le coût du crabe
Authors: Ascher Jacques
Published: February 2021

Le concept de guérison défini par la tradition classique comme un retour intégral à l’état antérieur est dépassé. Pas de guérison de la maladie cancéreuse sans cicatrices corporelles et psychiques. En effet, le moment de la guérison peut après coup réveiller en écho les affres du temps de l’annonce du diagnostic de cancer et rendre parfois le succès médical problématique pour la vie de l’esprit.
L’activité d’une formatrice ESPE à l’épreuve de la mise en œuvre de l’alternance intégrative
Authors: Filippi Pierre-Alain
Published: February 2021

Cet article vise à identifier le développement de l’activité d’une formatrice d’enseignants ayant participé à une intervention-recherche en ergonomie de l’activité. Exerçant dans une école supérieure du professorat et de l’éducation, elle s’est retrouvée en difficulté lorsqu’elle a dû, dans l’urgence de l’enchaînement des réformes, mettre en œuvre une prescription destinée à opérationnaliser le dispositif d’alternance intégrative. Grâce au cadre de l’intervention-recherche, nous montrerons comment le collectif de formateurs contribue à ce qu’elle retrouve un pouvoir d’agir et déploie de nouvelles solutions face à un dilemme de métier. Nous soulignons l’efficacité d’une formation des formateurs d’ESPE dans laquelle ils trouvent collectivement des solutions opérationnelles dans leur contexte d’exercice et transforment les situations de travail en vue de retrouver plus d’efficience et d’efficacité au service de la professionnalisation des enseignants débutants.
Le « bureau du directeur » : contribution à une approche ethnographique du pouvoir en école primaire
Authors: Roaux Cécile
Published: February 2021

Si l’école primaire s’est construite autour des enseignants et leurs salles de classe, nous analyserons dans cet article un autre lieu spécifique de l’école primaire : « le bureau du directeur » et la nature complexe de ce dernier dans l’organisation de l’école. À partir d’une ethnographie de longue durée nous montrerons comment l’usage – voire parfois la négation de ce lieu comme espace propre à une fonction – pose la problématique du « pouvoir » à l’école en France. Les observations sont interprétées dans la perspective de la sociologie des organisations, dans un temps de changement de référentiel dans l’éducation nationale. Elles mettent en lumière la place très particulière des directions d’école, entre crainte d’un pouvoir excessif et assignation au « sale boulot » : maintien de l’ordre et tâches administratives.

Authors: Sahid Noor Zaidi , Abdullah Sani Mad Khir  Johari , Noordin Siti Arpah , Zaini Muhamad Khairulnizam , Baba Jamiah
Published: February 2021

Purpose: This research objective was to analyze factors affecting IT practitioners’ behavioral intentions in adopting (BDA) using a combination of Initial Trust Model (ITM), Unified Theory Of Acceptance And Use Of Technology (UTAUT) AND Task-Technology Fit (TTF) Model acceptance models.Design/methodology/approach: Using a cross sectional survey, empirical data were collected. A total of 200 questionnaires were obtained and screened. 14 insufficient answers were subsequently discarded leaving 186 valid structured data review questionnaires. Data was analizad using the Partial Least Square Modeling of Structural Equations due to one of the best software for verifying structured data on structural equations modeling (SEM).Findings: Our findings show that two key factors determine behavioral intention to adopt BDA in government agencies. Firstly, the assumption that the technology is going to produce great results raises the expectation of performance. TTF was the second determinant factor. Surprisingly, Initial trust, on the other hand, had not been considered to be a key determinant of behavioural intention and was found to be adversely related to the BDA intentionResearch limitations/implications: These findings identify the crucial model, that would be useful to IT officers in public agencies in making investment choices and designing non-adopter-friendly outreach strategies because they have more barriers to acceptance than adopters and lead adopters in the reward ladder.Practical implications: The findings suggest significant recommendations and consequences for BDA systems practitioners and application developers, which could coincide with the successful implementation of BDA systems. This research gives practitioners an initial way to incorporate and endorse BDA activities in their organization to make the most of the advantages of revolutionary technology, particularly within public agencies.Originality/value: This study's model is helpful and promotes a theory for further BDA research. By utilizing the model, existing public agencies can know their own BDA capability, centered around activities with specifically tailored outcomes, organization dynamics, resources, skills and potential services.
Using an Escape Room Modality to Teach Mock Code Essentials
Authors: Daniel Laura , Valko Janine , McAtee Therese Justus , N-Wilfong Donamarie
Published: February 2021

Background:

Many people view escape rooms as challenging and fun. They require teams to communicate and work together effectively to solve puzzles to unlock the door to escape. Health care educators have recently used this dynamic format to provide teams with an engaging teaching modality. This article details the case study of combining an escape room with simulation-based education to form a dynamic teaching modality on proper cardiac arrest management.

Method:

A group of nearly 70 nurses participated. This study uses a pretest–posttest to measure learning, a skills checklist to measure performance, and an evaluation to measure students' reactions.

Results:

Results showed statistically significant increases in nurses' code policy knowledge and response. Participants viewed this education as effective and fun.

Conclusion:

This study provided evidence of the teaching effectiveness of escape rooms and is a solid springboard for future researchers to conduct additional simulation-based escape rooms with larger, broader populations.

In order to effectively organize the educational process when teaching foreign languages remotely in the context of a pandemic, special technical, psychological, and pedagogical training is required to switch to this form of education. Thus, it is necessary to study the current state of distance learning in foreign languages, both in Russia and abroad, and analyze the prospects for the development of this form of education, taking into account factors that have a positive impact on the process of learning a foreign language. The purpose of the article is to identify the theoretical and methodological foundations of distance learning in foreign languages, analyze the factors that have a positive and negative impact on the process of learning a foreign language, and determine the role of a teacher who organizes the process of teaching foreign languages remotely. To solve the problems of the research, a set of research methods was used: system, historical, theoretical analysis and generalization of literature, questionnaires. Statistical data processing was carried out using Google services when conducting surveys used for analyzing and summarizing data, their graphical visualization the results Of a survey of students in one of the leading universities in Russia in the form of distance education revealed positive aspects about the introduction and implementation of distance learning, however, the data obtained on the quality of distance learning agreed, that "live" interactivity in the classroom with classmates and other participants in the educational process leads to the highest results of communicative teaching of foreign languages. As a result of the research on the quality and interest of students and undergraduates in distance learning, 180 students aged 18 to 25 years were interviewed. A retrospective analysis of the development of distance education in Russia and abroad revealed such facts that not all countries were ready to switch to this form of education during the pandemic. Based on the experience of working in the form of distance learning of foreign languages, this article offers the main ways and methods of teaching a foreign language that can be applied in international practice of teaching foreign languages remotely.
Quality and Web Software Engineering Advances
Authors: Cipolla-Ficarra Francisco V. , Quiroga Alejandra , Ficarra Miguel Cipolla
Published: February 2021

In this chapter, the main avant-garde components that favor quality on the web are disclosed, especially from the perspectives of software and design. At the same time, the deviations of these components that slow down these processes from the technical-human point of view are presented. In this dualistic perspective, the role of education is included in each of the generations of users, programmers, and publishers of digital content on the web, as well as the context in which they are immersed. A triadic vision of past, present and future is presented in each of the aspects and components, directly and indirectly related, with the development of operations, models, and methods, which converge in obtaining a high quality of the web. Finally, parallels are drawn between the formal science professions and infinite semiosis in web engineering.
