La ceramica comune e da cucina da contesti tardo antichi da Napoli
Authors: Carsana Vittoria
Published: September 2019

In questo lavoro sono presentate le ceramiche comuni e da cucina di epoca tardo antica provenienti dai recenti scavi condotti dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica in occasione delle indagini per la costruzione delle stazioni della linea metropolitana di Napoli. La notevola quantità di materiali analizzati, confrontati con i coevi contesti editi dalla città e dalla regione, consentono infatii di definire un panorama ampio e rappresentativo della produzione e circolazione di tali categorie ceramiche in questi periodi. Fino al VII secolo, il vasellame prodotto in area napoletana è di discretta qualità indicando un’organizzazione dell’attività produttiva locale, seppure frammentata, ancora a carattere “industriale.
Les Laconiens et la Méditerranée à l’époque archaïque
Authors: Coudin Fabienne
Published: September 2019

On retient de Sparte et de la Laconie l’image d’une puissance militaire rivale d’Athènes à l’époque classique et d’une cité fermée dont les valeurs premières auraient été l’austérité et l’autarcie. Les fouilles archéologiques ont livré une tout autre image de Sparte à l’époque archaïque et la qualité des productions laconiennes met à mal le « mirage Spartiate » hérité des époques postérieures.

C’est par l’étude de la céramique laconienne et de sa diffusion que cet ouvrage aborde le rayonnement de la Laconie dans le monde méditerranéen archaïque. Les multiples acteurs de la distribution de la céramique ont changé au cours de la période et il est certain que la présence de Laconiens à Tarente et en Cyrénaïque, les liens de proxénie avec des cités comme Olympie ou Samos, ont amplifié les rapports de la Laconie avec les cités et les peuples de la Méditerranée. Ces liens ont favorisé le déplacement des artisans notamment dans les sanctuaires. Sparte, par l’intermédiaire de sa production céramique, semble avoir bénéficié d’une image favorable que l’on perçoit dans la prédilection manifestée pour certaines formes comme le cratère à vernis noir.

Au VIe siècle, Sparte fut non seulement une puissance militaire, mais aussi une cité participant pleinement aux échanges commerciaux et culturels de son temps.
Les installations artisanales romaines de Saepinum
Authors: Brun Jean-Pierre , Leguilloux Martine
Published: September 2019

La ville antique de Saepinum est un lieu où le charme des ruines se combine avec celui de la nature en un tableau qui nous renvoie aux paysages du Grand Tour : sur l'arrière-plan des montagnes du Matese se détachent les colonnes de la basilique romaine et les fermes paysannes nichées dans les gradins du théâtre. Mais cette cité romaine n'est pas seulement une incitation au rêve. De par l’état de conservation de ses constructions, de par l'abondance de ses inscriptions. Saepinum offre un reflet de la vie antique qu'il convient de capter.

L’agglomération, née au IIIe siècle avant J.-C., se développa lentement, à l’interface de l’économie montagnarde et de l’élevage transhumant. Elle connut une mutation radicale lorsque Drusus et Tibère lui offrirent, entre 2 avant J.-C. et 4 après J.-C., une enceinte dotée de tours et de portes.

C’est à cette époque que furent mis en place les bâtiments publics autour du forum et que furent édifiées des demeures à atrium ouvrant sur le decumanus maximus.

Dans l’une d’elles, les dégagements des années 1950 mirent au jour un moulin à eau et un ensemble de cuves tronconiques. Les fouilles effectuées par le Centre Jean Bérard entre 2005 et 2009 ont permis d’interpréter ces vestiges comme ceux d’une tannerie édifiée à la fin du Ier ou au début du IIe siècle et d’un moulin à écraser le tan, adjoint dans la seconde moitié du IIIe ou au début du IVe siècle.

La tannerie trouve des correspondances dans la grande installation de traitement des cuirs de Pompéi (I 5, 2). Le moulin équipé d’une roue à augets actionnait un arbre à cames soulevant des pilons qui écrasaient les écorces.

Une telle machinerie reporte de près de dix siècles l'invention du moulin à tan dont les premières attestations dans les archive datent du XIIe siècle. L’installation artisanale fonctionna jusqu’au début du Ve siècle, puis la maison fut abandonnée.

L’étude présente les structures bâties, les stratigraphies et l’ensemble des mobiliers archéologiques. Les nombreux ossements donnent un tableau de la consommation de viande dans la maison au cours du Ier siècle.

Les analyses biochimiques et l’analyse des dépôts de calcaire dans les canaux du moulin précisent les interprétations et la durée d'utilisation du moulin à eau.
Les métamorphoses du déchet : Bissière, Chaissac et Dubuffet vers 1946
Authors: Malherbe Anne
Published: September 2019

Les écrits de Roger Bissière, Gaston Chaissac et Jean Dubuffet ainsi que leur œuvre mettent en lumière l’attention toute particulière que ces artistes ont portée à l’objet de rebut. Alors qu’au sortir de la guerre le paysage n’est plus que ruine, c’est dans l’objet misérable qu’ils perçoivent les ferments d’un art authentique. L’art se veut alors alchimie propre à révéler le vrai à travers ce qui est le plus méconnu.
L’homme acrobatique

« Hourrah, plus de contact avec la terre immonde » s’écriait Marinetti en 1905 devant la technique et ses promesses. Formule manifeste qu’une certaine utopie contemporaine techniciste reprend à son compte. Mais contre ce projet de dématérialisation, l’obligation de reconnaître la nouvelle matérialité du monde : le déchet. J’ai proposé d’appeler ce moment de scepticisme, et de déception : la décheptivité. Ou comment l’art du vingtième siècle peut-il nous aider à penser ce moment critique ?

A multi-sited ethnography on cultural scenes and international migration
Authors: Alloatti Magali N.
Published: September 2019

In the last two decades, there has been considerable debate around the emergence of multi-sited ethnography. Most critics of multi-sited ethnography have focused on its ontological premise, risks of holism and, most importantly, methodological applications (Hage, 2005). These topics have been further developed by adherents to a multi-sited approach, mostly through empirical examples (Falzon, 2009; Colermand and Hellerman, 2011). In this paper, I engage in this debate by problematizing my research on Brazilian culture in Los Angeles, paying special attention to the limitations I recognize in a more traditional definition of ethnography. The aspect of multi-sited ethnography that seems especially questionable is the assumption that a shared experience between researcher and informants would produce comprehension of social life. This postulation gives a superior status to the dwelling and privileges observation as the primary means of analyzing and comprehending. I reflect on the challenges I faced in doing research and how I was able to overcome previous assumptions by incorporating strategies from a multi-sited approach. Specifically, I discuss the debate around ideas around conceptualizing space, defining sites and categorizing the roles of para-ethnographers. I conclude with a short reflection on the importance of acknowledging the problems we face while conducting research and how these problems can be a guide to overcoming methodological and practical limitations.
Réalisation d’un film ethnographique dans une ville périphérique israélienne
Authors: Desille Amandine
Published: September 2019

La mobilisation grandissante de l’audiovisuel en sciences sociales (Gehin ; Giglio-Jacquemont, 2013) réactualise des questions qui se posent dès l’introduction de la photographie et du film ethnographique, il y a cent ans : quelle réciprocité instaurer avec les sujets filmés ? Quelle est la part de l’interprétation de l’ethnographe ? « Comment rendre visible sans stigmatiser ? » (Raulin et al., 2016). À partir de ces questionnements, l’objectif de cet article est de proposer des pistes de réflexions sur la production d’images en mouvement, le tournage, le montage et la diffusion, notamment lorsque cette production implique la participation de personnes ayant fait l’expérience de la migration. Pour nourrir ces réflexions, l’auteur s’appuie sur un film ethnographique réalisé lors des élections nationales en 2015, dans une ville périphérique du nord d’Israël.
Ethnographier l’administration des étrangers : le cas du contrat d’accueil et d’intégration
Authors: Gourdeau Camille
Published: September 2019

Dans le domaine des politiques migratoires, l’ethnographie des administrations des étrangers s’avère particulièrement pertinent. La recherche, conduite entre 2010 et 2013, s’appuie sur l’analyse de la littérature grise et sur un travail d’observation dans plusieurs directions territoriales de l’Office française de l’Immigration et de l’Intégration (OFII) et lors des formations dispensées dans le cadre du contrat d’accueil et d’intégration (CAI). Des entretiens ont également été conduits avec des agents de cet office, des formateurs et des signataires du CAI. Ce papier propose de revenir sur l’enquête ethnographique conduite à l’OFII et de réfléchir à ce que l’ethnographie nous apprend des politiques migratoires. Nous montrerons d’abord que la confrontation des discours juridiques et institutionnels aux pratiques administratives a permis de mettre en évidence la manière dont le CAI est mis en œuvre par les agents de l’OFII et les formateurs. On s’intéressera en particulier à la prescription des formations et à la manière dont le thème de la laïcité est présenté lors de la formation civique. Puis, nous verrons que l’ethnographie du CAI permet d’analyser la manière dont le dispositif est appréhendé par les signataires et de mieux comprendre les carrières migratoires des étrangers arrivant en France.
Les migrants nigériens de retour de Libye
Authors: Puig Oriol
Published: September 2019

La seconde moitié du XXème siècle voit la Libye apparaitre comme un Eldorado pour des milliers de migrants sub-sahariens attirés par des perspectives d’emploi et par la rhétorique panafricaine de Mouammar Kadhafi. Alors que la mal nommée « crise des réfugiés » affecte les régions du pourtour méditerranéen, la Libye est donc depuis longtemps un pays de destination. L’expression haoussa Libya Kaman Turaï, que nous pouvons traduire par « La Libye comme l’Europe », résume l’idée que le pays pourrait satisfaire les besoins économiques et sociaux des nouveaux venus au même titre que l’Europe. La guerre en Libye et la chute de Kadhafi en 2011 entrainent le retour forcé d’environ 300 000 ressortissants nigériens vers leur pays d’origine. Ces derniers sont recherchés et accusés de complicité avec le régime khadafiste, voire même qualifiés de « mercenaires », par les rebelles du Conseil National de Transition (CNT) et une grande partie de la société libyenne. Notre ethnographie à Niamey, capitale du Niger, met en évidence les conditions de vie de ce groupe, dont les individus modifient leur rôle social et familial après l’échec de leur projet migratoire. L’instabilité de la région d’une part, et les contraintes financières que nous rencontrons lors du projet de recherche d’autre part, restreignent l’enquête à l’espace urbain. Néanmoins, ce sont ces contraintes qui ont permis d’exposer un phénomène jusqu’alors ignoré par la production scientifique, plutôt focalisée sur le milieu rural (Nabara, 2014). À travers des méthodes ethnographiques –observation participante et conversations informelles– dans des fadas, principaux espaces de sociabilité masculine du pays, nous révélons les obstacles d’un terrain vulnérable à travers un virage réflexif qui nous emmène à la déconstruction et à une recherche honnête, empathique et engagée (Guber, 1991).
Ethnographie et désidentifications
Authors: Aupiais  Armand
Published: September 2019

Cet article discute les articulations théoriques entre pentecôtisme et migrations en comparant la participation d’un ethnographe à la marge du travail religieux de deux Églises, et les identifications dont il fait l’objet au regard de ses positions relatives dans les rapports sociaux. À partir de ces enquêtes chez soi mais non parmi les siens, puis autre mais parmi d’autres autres, nous considérons les aspects désidentificatoires de la conversion, de la migration, et de l’ethnographie.
Par-delà les émotions et la raison. Les apports de l’auto-analyse comme méthode de compréhension de nos terrains
Authors: Vermylen Aurore
Published: September 2019

Cet article met en évidence les apports de l’auto-analyse pour dépasser la dichotomie « raison-émotion ». Nous verrons en quoi nos émotions peuvent tout aussi bien être un frein qu’un apport à la compréhension des réalités sociales que nous traversons. Il a été rédigé en vue d’une analyse de phénomènes liés à la méthodologie et s’inscrit dans la lignée des réflexions méthodologiques et épistémologiques de l'ethnographie et plus généralement de l’anthropologie. Entre les lignes, et grâce à de longs exemples empiriques, l’article parle aussi de réalités sociologiques propres à mes terrains : les questions de la mise en camp de réfugiés ayant fui l’Est de la RDC, les guerres cycliques et non-cycliques de la région des Grands Lacs en Afrique. Mon analyse se base sur une observation multi-située, menée depuis 2014 dans la région des Grands Lacs en Afrique (Est du Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Ouganda), mais également en Afrique de l’Est (Kenya) et en Amérique du Nord, où j’ai suivi des réfugiés congolais définitivement réinstallés via un programme des Nations Unies. Qu’elles soient réfugiées ou non, les personnes enquêtées ont vécu de près les réalités de la guerre.
Predicting Formation of Manufacturing Defects in Contoured Composites
Authors: Seon Guillaume , Nikishkov Yuri , Makeev Andrew , Fergusson Lauren
Published: September 2019

Composite helicopter rotor components are typically thick and often have areas with a tight radius of curvature, which make them especially prone to process-induced defects, including wrinkles and voids at ply interfaces. Such flaws cause high rejection rates in production of flight-critical
components and structures. This work seeks to fill the gaps in understanding generation of the noted defects in contoured polymer–matrix composite laminates. In particular, understanding and modeling defect formation at the early stages of the manufacturing process might be the missing
link to enable the development of practical engineering solutions allowing for better control of the manufacturing process of contoured composite parts. In this work, an approach based on a continuum description of the uncured prepreg material, including the initial bulk or void content, and
finite element modeling (FEM) is used to simulate the consolidation process at the early stages of manufacturing of contoured laminates. The simulation predicts instabilities leading to formation of both wrinkles and voids at ply interfaces during laminate debulking or vacuum consolidation.
Applicability of the method to consolidation in both closed-cavity and open-face tooling is also demonstrated. FEM results show good correlation with X-ray computed tomography data. This work also introduces a new simulation concept based on finite element and discrete modeling of voids at
ply interfaces to improve the accuracy of predicting their evolution during the debulking operations.

Authors: Darweesh Abbas Deygan , Mehdi Manar Kareem
Published: September 2019

This paper aims to explore how a political leader can propagate ideology through the tactful use of language. It has been investigated how different linguistic tools have been used to project or achieve political objectives. Therefore, the paper is devoted to the exploration of persuasive and manipulative strategies utilized by the democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in her campaign speeches. This paper is framed under the scope of discourse analysis wherein three speeches of Hillary Clinton are highlighted to fathom the ways in which she mesmerizes her audience through the use of certain linguistic and rhetorical devices and crafts to inject her ultimate goal of persuading people and indoctrinate her ideology so as to gain as many voters as possible .The selected speeches have been analyzed qualitatively using analytical framework of Barbra Johnstone's work (2008) about persuasive strategies.
Accounting for Business Combinations (Topic 805)
Authors: Gray Dahli , Torres Ruben
Published: September 2019

This article discusses the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, as promulgated by the 2019 Accounting Standards Update (ASU) concerning Business Combinations. It focuses on revenue from contracts with customers. Several concerns regarding how and when to recognize an assumed liability after a business combination were raised by users and preparers of financial statements. Concerns emerged from the differing views on how a liability (that is, performance obligation) is defined within the FASB ASC Topic 606 regarding revenue from contracts with customers. Determining how and if a contract liability is recognized in a business combination from a revenue contract were the major concerns. This article reviews a brief history of business combinations and contracts with customers. It explores the issue from various accounting perspectives (such as financial and managerial accounting, tax accounting, governmental accounting issues, ethical implications, and international accounting). Potential questions for future research regarding this topic are presented. The 16 Comment Letters sent to the FASB are discussed. The results of a survey administered as part of this research are presented.
Regional Foreign Direct Investment Potential in Selected African Countries

Published: September 2019

The recent devolutionary trend across the world has been in part fuelled by claims of a supposed ‘economic growth by direct investment dividend’ associated with the fiscal decentralization. There is however, little empirical evidence to substantiate these claims. Most prior research has determined different research techniques of measurement by generating mix results. More so, these studies do not differentiate between short and long run techniques and mechanisms through which county expenditure affects economic growth, by investment growth, and by foreign reserve of African countries. The background has investigated empirically the short and long run techniques effect of components of county expenditure on economic growth investment, by foreign direct investment growth in the African countries in period of 2013 to 2017. The variables tested by unit root by no stationary at interval levels. The long and short run of variables computed by ARDL methods by Keynesian theory. However, the budget allocation and execution improved to capital infrastructure and like transport communication help to improve private capital accumulation and economic growth.

Authors: Senturk Aydin
Published: September 2019

The objective of this study is the comparison of lower and higher extremity anaerobic power capacities of indoor athletes. 25 handball players (13 females, 12 males), 22 basketball players (10 females, 12 males) and experimental control group (10 females, 13 males, total 23), it means 70 athletes from amateur leagues participated in the research. Lower extremity anaerobic powers of participants were measured by wattbike pro power bike. Higher extremity anaerobic powers of participants were measured by myotest.

Data statistics were done by Windows SPSS 22.0. For dispersion of averages and standart deviations, descriptive statistics methods were used. In order to see the effects of gender and branch variances of participants on lower and higher extremity, Two-Way Manova analysis was used. Moreover, in order to see differences clearly, Screen Plot graphics were performed. In higher extremity measurements analysis, for 3 higher extremity values except velocity, male participants had higher averages than female participants do (p < 0.05). Based on Pairwise Comparisons results for branches, both Power Wkg and Power Max W kg values, handball participants had significant higher averages than control group participants did (p < 0.05). For lower extremity variances, female participants had lower averages than male participants. For Powermass values, handball players had higher averages than control group did. For Powerpeak and Power Average variances, control group participants had significant lower averages than both basketball players and handball players did (p < 0.05). For all values, there were no significant differences between handball and basketball players, except male height measurements (p > 0.05).
An Evaluation of Educational Music in Turkey Based on Composers’ Opinions
Authors: Celiktas Hatice , Ozeke Sezen
Published: September 2019

There are various studies concerning the present situation of the phenomenon of educational music, which dates back to the early years of the Republic i.e. which emerged 90 years ago, the problems in the area, and solutions to these problems as well as the concept of “educational music” which is used to define the songs that are part of music education. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the area of educational music based on composers’ opinions, in other words, on the opinions of the creators of the subject music, and to determine the present situation of the area in the light of these evaluations. For these purposes, 7 composers, all of whom had contributed to educational music, were interviewed. The resultant data were analyzed under three themes by means of content analysis. The themes were the concept of educational music, educational music compositions and educational music composing. As a result, composers indicated that songs composed as educational music pieces should have a content that children can relate to. They also said that music teachers and prospective music teachers who had the ability to compose should engage in the composition of educational music. According to composers, in order for songs to be of good musical quality; easy and catchy melodies and lyrics, prosody, melodic sequence, harmonic structure and form components were important. Composers also expressed their opinions regarding “the points to be considered and the method to be followed in the process of composition”, “essential skills and knowledge in addition to the ability to compose”, and “types of music preferred in compositions”. In addition to this research, further studies, which take opinions of music teachers, who are the appliers of educational music, and those of students, who are the receivers and consumers of educational music, into account, can be undertaken so as to be able to evaluate the area of educational music from different perspectives.
Association of Career Satisfaction with Stress and Depression: The Case of Preservice Music Teachers
Authors: Burak Sabahat , Atabek Oguzhan
Published: September 2019

In order to investigate the relationships between preservice music teachers’ levels of career satisfaction, severity of depression, and perceived stress, ninety-four students enrolled in the music education BSc program of the faculty of education at a public university in southwestern part of Turkey were survey. Data were collected by Beck’s Depression Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, and Career Satisfaction Scale. Associations were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. It was found that preservice music teachers’ stress and depression levels were significantly higher compared to previously reported means while career satisfaction levels were lower. Preservice music teachers’ career satisfaction scores significantly differed according to the grade level. There was a strong positive relationship between severity of depression and perceived stress level while career satisfaction was weakly and negatively associated with both severity of depression and perceived stress. Finally, career satisfaction neither was a predictor of nor predicted by stress or depression.
The Effects of Specific Stretching Exercises on Flexibility and Balance Parameters in Gymnastics
Authors: Özer Ömer , Soslu Recep
Published: September 2019

This study was planned to examine the effect of Gymnastics-specific stretching exercises on flexibility and balance parameters. A total of 28 (16 males, 12 females) volunteer students were involved in the study, who were educated at the School of Physical Education and Sports. For 12 Weeks, 2 days a week and 90 min. stretching exercises specific to the gymnastics branch were applied and flexibility (sit-lie down) and Y balance tests were applied before the study. Anova test analysis was used to determine the difference between pre-test and post-test. Although the SA (right foot anterior), SPL (right foot posterolateral), SPM (right foot posteromedial), SLA (left foot anterior), SLPL (left foot posterolateral), SLPM (left foot posteromedial) scores of male and female students in the study showed a positive increase compared to the preliminary test scores, there was no statistically significant difference (p > .05). As a result, gymnastic branch-specific stretching exercises increase the balance and flexibility parameters in a positive way; it is thought that the longer duration of training programs will have a positive effect on the athlete’s performance.

The Effect of Perceived Teacher Behaviors on Students’ Self-Esteem and Attitudes Towards Learning
Authors: Agir Meral Sert
Published: September 2019

While it depends on many factors for the teacher to achieve the assumed mission apart from themselves, the quality of the relationship established between the teacher and student is among the prominent factors that enable the student to reach the target behaviors. Considering the role of educational institutions as the protective factor for students and the efficiency of teachers in this process, the main purpose of this research was determined as examining the effect of the perceived teacher behaviors on the self-esteem of students and their attitudes towards learning. 306 students randomly selected from among the 9th, 10th and 11th grades from Anatolian high schools in Kadikoy, Istanbul were applied scales of Perceived Teacher Behaviors, Self-Esteem and Attitudes towards Learning, and the obtained data was analyzed by Pearson Moments Correlation and Regression Analysis techniques. The findings revealed that the perceived teacher attitudes and its sub-dimensions were negatively and weakly correlated with self-esteem, moderately positive and weakly correlated with attitudes toward learning scale sub-dimensions (p < 0.05; p < 0.01). According to results, it was determined that the perceived teacher behaviours negatively affected the self-esteem and positively affected the nature of learning, expectation and openness dimensions in the sub-dimensions of the attitudes towards learning and negatively affected the learning-related anxiety. It was found that while 7% change in self-esteem is explained by Factor 2 (positive teacher behaviors) and this factor negatively affected the self-esteem; Factor 2 on the anxiety dimension of the attitudes about learning and Factor 1 and Factor 3 explaining the behaviors of teachers that are considered within the scope of emotional abuse explain the 15% of the change in anxiety, and that these factors negatively affected anxiety; Factor 1 and Factor 4 (negative teacher behaviors) Factor 2 (positive teacher behaviors) explained 19% of the change in the dimension of openness to learning, and these factors had a negative effect on the dimension of openness.
Examination of Stroke Mechanics and Athletic Performance Components in Swimmers According to Age Categories
Authors: Dolek Burcu Ertas , Cengizel Elif
Published: September 2019

At the beginning of the components that affect the performance of the swimmers’ training and race planning, the stroke count (SC), stoke lenght (SL) and stroke rates (SR) of the swimmers are important. For this reason, it is important for both athletes and coaches to know how to develop and change these characteristics with age. The aim of this study is to investigate the change in athletic performance and body structure of 9–15 age group. A total of 50 students were participated in the study. Subjects were divided into two groups as below 12 years of age (< 12 years, nmale = 14, nfemale = 14) and 12 years of age and older (≥ 12 years, nmale = 11, nfemale = 11). The athletic performance variables are grouped in such a way as jump (vertical and horizontal) and swim data (50 m free swimming time, number of SR, SC, SL). Descriptive statistics were used for the groups and Mann Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups (p < 0.05). A significant difference was found between all groups except SR, and in the jump performance (horizontal & vertical) with age. There was no significant difference in stroke rate and stroke time in kinematic parameters; as a result of the significant difference found in the SC and SL, 50 m freestyle swimming times decreased with age. As a result; it is thought that following this changing process for each age group of coaches will contribute significantly to the swimming performances of the athletes.
Re-integratie van ex-justitiabelen als speerpunt voor een herstelgerichte reclasseringspraktijk
Authors: Nelissen Peter

Re-integration of ex-offenders as priority for restorative probation services

In this article the development of a restorative justice probation practice is discussed from the perspective of the restorative justice principle of the inclusive community and the contribution of probation volunteers to the reintegration of (ex-)offenders through specific restorative justice intervention strategies. It is shown that in penal policy of the past decades the penal welfare-model and the aim of reintegration of ex-offenders has been overshadowed by a more utilitarian, punitive and management logic of criminal justice. As a result, the reintegration and social inclusion of ex-offenders has become a rather neglected area and, in the current liberal-democratic state, offenders face social conditions in which it is very hard to turn their life around. In addition it is suggested that both in mainstream and in restorative justice interventions, achievement of the goal of reintegration is often problematic or absent. Moreover, this lack of opportunities for connection may undermine and reduce the effects of interventions, including those with a restorative justice approach. Probation services that use specific restorative justice intervention strategies guided by both professionals and probation volunteers might contribute to a more active, inclusive role of the community and society in the reintegration of ex-offenders.

Victim awareness and restorative justice programs in probation

The last years victim awareness has received special attention in the Dutch probation service. Three goals are central: respecting the rights and interests of the victim, mapping and increasing victim awareness of the probation client, and working towards the possibilities for recovery. Based on discussions with probation officers, this contribution sketches a picture of how this takes shape in practice. Experience shows that good results are achieved, but that more training and attention to the subject is needed to give it a full place in the probation work.

In the paper there are presented general parameters of shaped charge projectiles (SC) and explosively formed projectiles (EFP), designed for destroying of armed vehicles, and parameters of explosive reactive armours (ERA), which significantly increase capability of protection of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) against piercing by these projectiles. There are shown examples of destruction of tanks not protected by the ERA. Their parameters are presented on the base of ERAWA-1 and ERAWA-2 Polish reactive cassettes for PT-91 Hard tank. There are described the following requirements: capability of protection of ERAWA-1 and ERAWA-2 cassettes as a result of reaction in the static test of shaped charge projectiles PG-7 and 125 mm BK-14M, effect in the dynamic test of 125 mm BM-15 projectile that pierces through due to its kinetic energy, and resistance to detonation of the cassettes fired by 12.7×107 mm AP B-32 projectiles. There are demonstrated results of the resistance to detonation of the neighboring ERAWA cassettes in case of detonation of the central cassette in the panel.

There are presented results of test of resistance to detonation of the ERAWA cassettes while burning on them flammable material (gasoline, napalm),
and resistance to detonation of the cassettes dropped from 3 m height onto a hard substrate of RHA. The safe distance for humans after detonation of the projectile and ERAWA-2 cassette was also tested.

Published: September 2019

The article presents a concept of the procedure for researching the dynamic properties of the multi-wire springs used in NR-30 guns. The aim of the research was to check the possibilities of determining the limit values of the flexibility of the multi-wire springs for the NR-30 gun, as well as to verify the obtained research results using those from range and static tests (after long compression). While verifying the method (selected measurements of 4 springs with varying degrees of wear), static and dynamic compression tests were performed on a spring mounted on a gun on specially prepared testing stations. The description of the data measurement and acquisition method applied should be considered an important element of the description of a testing station. Based on the obtained research results, it has been inferred that, during the striker’s backward movement, wave phenomena likely transpire in the spring. Force value fluctuations taking place during the spring’s movement are visible in the obtained diagrams. The dynamic and static test results (on springs with varying degrees of wear) allowed the authors to evaluate the impact of a multi-wire spring’s wear on the value of its force of interaction with the automation elements of an NR-30. Based on the data obtained, the assumptions for the method of evaluating multi-wire springs’ durability and using it to evaluate the suitability of a given spring type for use according to its technical state, have been elaborated. The final determination of the limit values of the springs’ parameters requires further research using a station with an ammunition belt encumbrance emulator, as well as emulation of the overloads of the kinematic arrangement of the gun while airborne.

Published: September 2019

Realism is an important aspect of the virtual shooting range, which increases the quality of the shooting training conducted there. An important element of realism is the modeling of damage arising during the impact of the projectile on the target. This article concerns damage modelling in computer simulation systems. Using the Unity environment, example simulations of damage caused by projectile impact on basic construction materials have been performed. The obtained solutions have been analysed, with the results compared with those of real experiments; conclusions pertaining to the optimal method of modelling destruction in simulation systems meant for visualisation at virtual shooting ranges have been drawn.
The Development and Introduction of Modified Machine Guns of the UKM 2000 Family (Calibre: 7.62 mm)

Published: September 2019

Zakłady Mechaniczne TARNÓW S.A. (ZMT, Tarnów, Poland), the manufacturer of the UKM 2000 family of 7.62 mm machine guns, has extensive experience producing and factory-repairing those guns, and collect the comments and observations of the weapon’s users. Taking them into consideration, ZMT has decided to modify the UKM 2000 family. The decision coincided with the stance of the MoD’s Armament Inspectorate, which suggested implementing such a modification, providing a detailed determination of its range (“Modification Guidelines”). First, the changes were introduced in the infantry version (UKM 2000P), then in the onboard version (UKM 2000C). The core aims of the modification were: increasing the weapon’s reliability and durability, improving the technology and ergonomics, and minimising the number of parts and groups that require individual fitting. Initially, the changes were supposed to encompass only a modest number of parts and groups; however, during the design works, the necessity to introduce deep modifications to the most important rifle elements, i.e. the bolt, the slide, the pin, the gas regulator and the feeding mechanism, appeared. During the research on the 7.62 mm modified UKM 2000P machine guns, properties such as the weapon’s operation in low temperatures, as well as its resistance to dynamic interaction with dust and sand, salt fog, and elevated humidity were investigated. ZMT placed the first batch of the machine guns under monitored operation, and the observations made during use so far clearly confirm the soundness and range of the changes introduced. It should be kept in mind, however, that it is not possible to develop a single, universal weapon configuration that would meet the needs of all users. Direct exchange of feedback between the User and the Manufacturer allows the structure to be optimised and guarantees development in the field in question.

A consensus industrial reference was necessary to be established for meeting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s current Good Manufacturing Practice Compliance for the manufacture and quality control of dietary ingredients and supplements that contain ginger rhizome, dry extract, and/or purified nonvolatile ginger constituents. An analytical method has been developed, validated, and previously published for identifying and quantifying 6-,8- and 10-gingerols, 6-, 8- and 10-shogaols, 6-paradol, and zingerone. HPLC with UV-Vis detector was used for the determination of nonvolatile ginger constituents by following AOAC Guidelines for Single-Laboratory Validation. Sample was accurately weighed and diluted with acidified water and methanol mixture. The sample solution was then sonicated and filtered through a PTFE filter and analyzed under a linear gradient scheme instrument condition. A reverse-phase superficially porous particle C18 column and an absorption wavelength of 230 nm were used for analyte separation and determination. The method was demonstrated to be selective, linear (R2 > 0.999), specific, accurate (91.1–103.2% spike recovery rate), and precise (RSDr < 5%, RSDR < 8%) and therefore met all AOAC Standard Method Performance Requirements (2017.012) criteria. With a relatively short run time (12 min) and optimized extraction solvent system, the method has been validated to simultaneously determine nonvolatile ginger constituents in a variety of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements matrices including dry extract, powder, tablet, capsule, liquid capsule, softgel capsule, and oleoresin.

Changxing Island, located in the northwest of Dalian City in Liaoning, China, is a beautiful island on the West side of the Liaodong Peninsula. Since 1980, along with the development of the economic benefits and the environmental evolution of the Changxing Island marine belt, its ecological environment has changed to a certain extent. In this paper, the interannual evolution and organic pollution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in borehole core samples were studied, based on the survey data of coastal substrates and sedimentation chemistry of two columnar stations (C4 and C6) in Changxing Island, China, in 2017. It was found that the distribution of PAHs in the region was controlled by sedimentary types and hydrodynamic factors. The PAH content in the vertical direction of the borehole part was at the level of the environmental background value before 1980. However, from 1981 to the present, the overall increasing trend of PAHs content was evident, and there were obvious fluctuations with the changes of the surrounding environment. In the C4 column, the total concentration of 16 PAHs was 32.8–349.0 ng/g (dry weight), and it was 22.2–81.3 ng/g (dry weight) in the C6 column. Among them, the concentration range of PAHs species composition was from high to low, followed by tricyclic, quadricyclic, bicyclic, pentacyclic, hexacyclic, and the monomer with the highest content in the sea area was tricyclic phenanthrene. The supports were thereby provided for environmental pollution research, comprehensive evaluation, environmental carrying capacity forecasting, and early warning in this region, and it was served as the basis for development and antipollution feasibility demonstration.
