Les métamorphoses politiques d’un territoire. Le Valenciennois de 1870 à 1914. De l’arrondissement conservateur et/ou bonapartiste à « l’arrondissement rouge »
Authors: Guignet Philippe
Published: June 2020

Le Valenciennois, bastion de la révolution industrielle du xix e  siècle, fait figure à la veille de la Grande Guerre d’archétype de l’« arrondissement rouge » selon l’expression en usage à l’époque. Pourtant il fut pendant le second xix e  siècle un arrondissement bonapartiste modérément tenté par l’option républicain « opportuniste ». En 1888, les Valenciennois votent avec empressement pour le général Boulanger. L’irruption du socialisme fut en fin de compte tardive, mais rapidement décisive. Une vague d’une ampleur peu commune recouvre en peu d’années les trois circonscriptions qui en 1906 portent au parlement trois députés SFIO. M. Guignet qui a composé une série de cartes communales hiérarchisées selon l’appartenance politique décrit et explique ce grand mouvement de bascule qui réduit les territoires de la droite à une peau de chagrin. Des radicaux modérés s’installent dans les secteurs longtemps fidèles aux conservateurs, tandis que les communes ouvrières adhèrent avec enthousiasme à l’espérance socialiste. Dans cette région de dur labeur industriel où prolifèrent les emplois pénibles au feu et au fond de la mine, le socialisme d’inspiration guesdiste est, selon l’expression de Durkheim, « un cri de douleur et un cri de colère ». La radicalité de cette évolution s’explique aussi par le détachement religieux en un temps où le socialisme se colore d’anticléricalisme.
La question de la place des jeunes dans la vie politique sous Georges Pompidou (1969-1974)
Authors: Pozzi Jérôme
Published: June 2020

Au lendemain des évènements de mai 1968, la présidence de Georges Pompidou (1969-1974) est marquée par des interrogations sur la place des jeunes dans la vie politique, qu’il s’agisse du chef de l’État lui-même ou de quelques parlementaires du mouvement gaulliste. Toutefois, la famille gaulliste avait réfléchi en amont de mai 1968 à la question de la jeunesse. À l’Assemblée nationale, plusieurs députés avaient déposé des propositions de loi pour abaisser l’âge de la majorité électorale, sans que celles-ci soient adoptées. Le début des années 1970 ne change pas la donne même si à plusieurs reprises, les questions relatives à la jeunesse semblent revenir sur le devant de la scène politique. Pierre Messmer évoque cette question de l’âge de la majorité électorale dans son discours de Provins (7 janvier 1973), mais cela n’aboutit pas au lendemain des élections législatives de mars 1973. Tout compte fait, Georges Pompidou n’a pas été convaincu de la nécessité d’abaisser l’âge du droit de vote.
Objectiver l’évaluation des hauts potentiels. Déboires et ficelles des consultants
Authors: Braun Pascal
Published: June 2020

La quête d’objectivité dans l’évaluation des hauts potentiels se traduit par la multiplication des dispositifs d’évaluation, et par le recours à des consultants, supposés indépendants. Souvent faute d’accès au terrain, peu de recherches étudient la mise en œuvre des outils d’évaluation chiffrée. Cet article analyse les problèmes concrets auxquels sont confrontés les consultants dans cette démarche d’objectivation. En particulier, nous précisons comment l’affichage de l’objectivité dans la relation commerciale génère une forte contrainte de justification de l’évaluation. Face à cette contrainte, nous rendons compte de la réflexivité et des ficelles des consultants pour réduire les tensions autour de l’acceptabilité de l’évaluation pour soi, pour le client et pour le candidat.
A New Evaluation Technique Through Serious Games for Children with ASD
Authors: Tahiri Najoua , El Alami Mohamed
Published: June 2020

Assessment at preschool age plays a crucial role in the process of learning especially for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), whom encounter communication difficulties as exchanging thoughts or information by speech, writing or nonverbal expression. Therefore, a welldesigned assessment method is necessary in order to guide learning and serve as a powerful tool to reinforce children's motivation to learn. Information about what a child with ASD knows, understands and is able to do is used by tutors to adjust their teaching strategies. All assessment methods have different purposes before, during or after instruction. Besides, formative assessment is the most recommended type that helps improving children's learning and it takes place during the learning process. Also, serious games provide a context for assessing a broader range of skills and constructs compared to traditional assessment approaches. In this article, we propose a new technique for evaluating the degree of concept's assimilation of children with ASD through serious games. It allows identifying concepts that children are struggling to understand and skills they are having difficulty acquiring.

The Machine Translation of Literature: Implications for Translation Pedagogy
Authors: Omar Abdulfattah , Gomaa Yasser A.
Published: June 2020

The recent years have witnessed an increasing importance of machine translation systems due to the prolific production on online texts in different disciplines and furthermore, the inability of traditional translation methods in addressing translation needs all over the world. It is even argued that training on translation tools should be integrated into translation pedagogies and ultimately, courses should be provided for students and professionals. In spite of the effectiveness of translation tools and systems in providing solutions in relation to different disciplines and text genres, the usability and reliability of such systems in terms of literary texts, however, is still highly controversial. Many critics and educators still underestimate the usefulness of the machine translation systems in literature, which could be partially attributed to the unique nature of the language of the literary texts. The issue has its pedagogical implications to translation instruction due to the needs to integrate emerging technologies in teaching and learning practices. For proper use of translation technologies in educational contexts, these need to be well evaluated. For this purpose, this study evaluates the usefulness of applying machine translation systems to literature with the purpose of identifying the challenges that may have negative impacts on the reliability of machine translation systems. In order to do this this, two translation systems are selected, namely, Google Translate and Q Translate. By way of illustration, the study is based on a corpus of two English short stories. The study is based on two prose fiction texts. The first is J. K. Rowling’s novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The second is Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Black Cat. Automatic translations generated by the two machine translation systems were compared to human made Arabic translations with the purpose of identifying the problems within these translations. Results indicate that different lexical, structural, and pragmatic errors are encountered by users which negatively impact the reliability of these translations. Educators and translation instructors need to reflect on the challenges of machine translation systems in relation to literature. Software developers need also to address the problems faced by users and students in the translation from and into the Arabic language.
A la sombra del latin lover: Antonio Moreno en el cine de Hollywood de los años veinte
Authors: Alcala Del Olmo Olea Rocío
Published: June 2020

L’objet de cet article est l’étude du discours sexuel et ethnique qui a sous-tendu l’image de la star de cinéma Antonio Moreno, durant son passage à Hollywood. S’ajustant au stéréotype du latin lover, initié par Rodolfo Valentino, l’image de la star a fonctionné à l’écran et dans la vie, comme image de mobilité sexuelle dont l’ambivalence (séducteur/séduit, sujet/objet de désir) permettait de promouvoir la réconciliation entre les valeurs anciennes et les valeurs nouvelles qui émergeaient dans la société nord-américaine des années vingt. De même, sa condition de star hispanique fut soutenue par l’industrie hollywoodienne pour diffuser un discours ethnique ambivalent, dans lequel coexistaient rejet et fascination. L’image de la star représentait donc un autre « idéal » qui symbolisait l’idéal de la réussite américaine dans la mesure où il pouvait s’incorporer à la culture « blanche », tout en restant un « autre », considéré comme ‘hot blooded’. En ce sens, l’étude des textes qui élaborent l’image publique de l’acteur (affiches, publicité, revues de fanzines, etc.) et l’analyse filmique de The Temptress (Fred Niblo, 1926) permettent d’étudier la manière dont le latin lover Antonio Moreno a représenté un stéréotype sexuel et ethnique qui a contribué à définir l’imaginaire culturel de la société nord-américaine.
Des images dans les Mémoires de Terenci Moix
Authors: Merlo Philippe
Published: June 2020

La mémoire pour le narrateur des trois volumes des Mémoires de Terenci Moix, El Peso de la Paja, est le lieu où se conservent toutes les images accumulées par l’individu au fil de sa vie. Il s’instaure un véritable va-et-vient entre la mémoire individuelle du protagoniste et la mémoire collective espagnole, surtout celle des Barcelonais des années 1940-1960. Le narrateur non seulement évoque son passé mais il analyse aussi le fonctionnement de la mémoire, ses spécificités, sa structure, ses mécanismes. Des faiblesses sont dépassées ou même mises à profit au bénéfice du protagoniste qui tenterait de se servir des failles mnésiques pour parvenir à s’automythifier.
Rideaux, pots de fleurs et escaliers modern style
Authors: San Miguel Montes Alfonso
Published: June 2020

En 1959, Edgar Neville mettait en scène un film dont le scénario fut écrit à partir d’une de ses pièces de théâtre, portant le même titre et écrite sept ans plus tôt. Cette source théâtrale détermine, non seulement la construction, la structure narrative et la conception des personnages du film, mais aussi la disposition des espaces et la fonction des objets qui dotent l’espace profilmique d’une signification objective et l’espace filmique d’une dimension émotionnelle et symbolique. Par ailleurs, ces derniers aspects revêtent une importance capitale pour ce qui est de la construction dramatique de l’œuvre. Neville arrive ainsi à édifier une sorte de topographie sentimentale, dans laquelle, les divers recours des personnages, de même que les relations particulières qu’ils entretiennent avec objets et meubles – qui remplissent des fonctions polyvalentes durant toute la narration – délimitent et décrivent l’espace architectonique et construisent un espace authentique de la mémoire.
Importance and Issues of Taxation in Sri Lanka
Authors: Amirthalingama K.
Published: June 2020

Fiscal deficit is a chronic problem for many countries including Sri Lanka. Although there are several ways, budget deficit tax revenue will be the best source to finance budget deficit which may consider the adverse repercussions of alternative sources such as money creation and debt. Though increasing share of tax revenue in GDP is an instrumental objective of economic development policy, Sri Lanka has not been successful in raising adequate tax revenue to meet its public expenditure on general public services, social services, economic services, etc. The country faces several issues such as declining of low level tax ratio, slow structural change of tax composition, dismal outcome even after changing of tax system and low level of efficiency and productivity of Value Added Tax (VAT). This paper intends to emphasize the need of enhancing tax revenue while analyzing the adverse repercussion of alternative deficit financing methods such as money creation and debt. This study uses secondary data published by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the Department of Inland Revenue and the World Bank and illustrates its finding using graphs and tables. To reduce its dependency on money creation and debt, the country should take several measures including broadening the tax base, simplifying the tax rates, simplifying the tax laws, reducing the number of taxes, facilitating voluntary compliance, avoiding politically motivated tax amnesties and tax concessions, and avoiding political interferences and influences on tax administration to enhance tax revenue.

Authors: Srikantharajah M. , Senathiraj R.
Published: June 2020

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of innovative culture on employee performance at software companies of Sri Lanka. It explores the degree of impact on each factor of innovative culture on employee performance. The research hypothesizes that in software companies, innovative culture has a positive relationship on the employee performance and determinants of innovative culture. This empirical study draws upon a survey from software developers, business analyst, project managers and others who are directly involved in projects from the software development companies. Correlation and Multiple regression analyses proved that the impact innovative culture had on employee performance is strongly positive. Dimensions of innovative culture also had a positive impact on employee performance except the dimension ‘trust’ which did not have a statistically significant impact. This research study emphasises on the importance of fostering innovation as a way of business philosophy through the organisational culture which results in having a sustainable competitive advantage. It is not limited to the product but extends to employees too. The knowledge created has contributed to the business environment of Sri Lanka in relation to best organizational culture practices.

Authors: Attapattu A. M. C. P. , Gunaratne P. S. M.
Published: June 2020

The research issue of this study is whether political events result in structural shift in stock return in CSE. The purpose of this study is to find whether there is a predictable pattern in the market and any structural shift in the market response to events of election announcements and release of election results. If a predictable pattern exists, the purpose is to identify any economically viable arbitrage strategies arising out of special pattern of market behavior in relation to events of election announcements and release of election results. To achieve this objective independent analytical devices are used in this research under event study methodology. According to the analysis of results, the formation of market sentiments in relation to election related events can be summarized as follows. If the announcement is taken place under a UNP dominant government, market seems to create negative sentiments around the events. However within few days of announcement market again gains the profit of the loss initially took place with the announcement. According to this speculative behavior, an investor who is having a prior knowledge about the announcement may sell the stocks well in advance of the election announcement in order to avoid subsequent losses taking place in the market. If the announcement is taken place under a SLFP dominant government, market seems to create positive sentiments around the events. According to this speculative behavior, an investor who is having a prior knowledge about the announcement may buy the stocks well in advance of the election announcement in order to sell and earn profit during the post event window. If a market friendly government comes to power with the release of election results, market seems to create positive sentiments, and if a less market friendly government comes to power market responses negatively.
Long-Run Determinants of Equity Foreign Portfolio Investment (EFPI) in Sri Lanka: A Time Series Analysis with Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) Approach
Authors: Kumara G.  D. Kapila , Dayaratne D. A. I.
Published: June 2020

Equity Foreign Portfolio Investment (EFPI) is useful in enhancing the efficiency and liquidity of capital markets. This study explores the long-run determinants of EFPI in Sri Lanka using the autoregressive distributed lagged (ARDL) model. The dataset covers monthly time series data from 2004 to 2013. The findings suggest that the London Inter-Bank Offered Rates (LIBOR), foreign reserves presented in months of imports, USD/LKR exchange rate and domestic share market performance measured by the All Share Price Index (ASPI) are statistically significant and have a long-run positive effect on EFPI. The remaining variables, three-month Treasury bill rates, the Colombo Consumer Price Index (CCPI) and the S&P500 index are statistically insignificant. It is further revealed that there is a short-run causality running from months of imports, three month Treasury bill rates, USD/LKR exchange rates and CCPI towards EFPI at the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
Roentgenographic analysis of lumbar lordotic dimensions among indigenes of Delta State
Authors: Ojieh Ugochukwuka , Ebeye Abimbola Oladunni
Published: June 2020

The spinal column of humans possesses strategically placed concave and convex curves which work in harmony to give an upright posture. The inwardly concave curvature in the lumbar region of the spine is known as the lordosis and it plays a very important role in the formation of the posture of humans. Analysis of the human lordosis is of great importance as it has been shown to be a major factor in the onset of low back pain, and is of great importance in spinal reconstructive surgery, through which some form of repair can be done to the spinal column that has undergone some form of alteration. The present study was carried out to analyse the lumbar lordotic dimensions among indigenes of Delta State. The aim of the study was to find out the average lordotic angle, vertebral body height and intervertebral disc height for the male and female population. The study was also aimed at finding the range for the normal lordotic angles as well as the correlations between these dimensions and the age of an individual. A regression equation was also formulated with which the lordotic angle of an individual can be estimated given the age of that individual. The sample size was 384 individuals (204 males and 180 females) with an age range of 20-60 years. The male population had a mean angle of 59.33±2.45° and the females had a lower mean value of 53.33±2.61°. The study showed males had higher mean values for lumbar vertebra height and intervertebral disc height. A steady increase in the height of the lumbar vertebra and intervertebral disc from the first to the last was observed in this study. This study also showed that a weak negative correlation existed between the age of an individual and the  lordotic angle and the vertebral height. Correlations between the age and intervertebral disc height showed a weak positive correlation. A regression formula was derived for estimating the lordotic angle of an individual given the age. This study will be of great importance to medical practitioners and forensic anthropologists in spinal reconstructive surgery and forensic human identification by gender and age.

A case report on an unusual elongation of the Sustentaculum tali
Authors: Amuti Thomas , Wambui Anita , Ouko Innocent , Ogeng’o Julius
Published: June 2020

The sustentaculum tali, as a horizontal shelf of the calcaneus serves as an attachment point for the ligamentous support of the foot. Any variations  on it has therefore been linked to instability factors of the ankle joint. Studies have explored on the possible variations of this bony projection, but  none have been documented on an unusually long elongation of the same. This study examined an unusually elongated sustentaculum tali found located on the left calcaneus of an adult Kenyan calcaneus. The right pair did not bear the same variation. This elongation on the calcaneus revealed that it had a length of 11.68mm, height of 7.68mm and thickness of 2.83mm. This elongated sustentaculum tali, even though a rare case should be considered in the cases of idiopathic subtalar joint instability.

This study examine comparative studies on nutrients needs and uptake in K. senegalensis seedlings to evaluate effect of organic manure (Cow dung; 20g, 10g; Poultry manure: 20g, 10g; Water hyacinth 20g, 10g and control). The variables measured were plant height, collar diameter and leaf numbers. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Means separation using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results showed that seedlings grown with cow dung of 20g produced the highest mean height (12.45cm), collar diameter (5.68mm) and leaf production (7). The best performance was observed in seedlings grown with cow dung at the rate of 20g. 20g of cow dung mixed with 2kg of forest top soil can therefore be used to raise K. senegalensis seedlings for good growth in the Nursery.

Published: June 2020

Objective: To determine the cardiovascular responses and perceived exertion of young adults walking and carrying a load of 10 kg on shoulder and the head.Method: Healthy participants (n=50) between the ages of 21 and 27 were subjected to three testing sessions at self-selected normal pace without load, and carrying a 10 kg load on the shoulder and on the head for 10 minutes. Cardiovascular parameters and their ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured before and after testing at each session.Results: Higher pulse pressure (correlates of stroke volume) and rate pressure product (index of myocardial oxygen uptake) values were observed following load on shoulder testing compared to no load testing values and a higher RPE value was observed for load on shoulder testing when compared to load on head testing.Conclusion: It is conceivable that carrying load on the head can potentially be more economical than carrying load on the shoulder for this cohort of young adults.

Published: June 2020

Although tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent in domestic animals and man in Nigeria, prevalence and zoonotic tuberculosis (ZTB) predictors information among livestock workers in Lafia, is scarce. This study determined TB prevalence and ZTB predictors among livestock workers in the town.In a cross-sectional study, sputum samples from 96 participants selected by systematic random sampling (56 abattoir workers and 40 cattle herdsmen and marketers), to whom semi-structured questionnaire was issued, were tested with Ziehl Neelson stain. Data generated were analysed with STATA 12 and OpenEpi at 0.05 critical value (α). From the 96 samples, 13.54% prevalence was recorded. Awareness of ZTB was 60.42% and logistic regression analysis showed good knowledge of ZTB as the predictor (OR=62.89, 95% CI=7.19-549.69, P=0.000). Similarly, ZTB knowledge was 37.50% and the significant predictors were being old (OR=22.09, 95% CI=1.11-13.38, P=0.034); well aware (OR=22.09, 95% CI=2.61-187.27, P=0.005) and good practices (OR=4.78, 95% CI=1.39-16.60) towards ZTB. Thirty-four percent of the respondents engaged in good practices preventing ZTB exposure with the predictors being: an abattoir worker (OR = 3.03, 95% CI=1.04-9.09, P=0.042) and having ZTB good knowledge (OR=4.36, 95% CI=1.33-14.22, P=0.015). Tuberculosis was prevalent among the participants and they need enlightenment on ZTB transmission since they lacked good knowledge, attitudes and practices that prevent it.

Published: June 2020

Neupitna je iznimno važna uloga koju pčele imaju u prirodi kao oprašivači biljaka i proizvođači određenih nezamjenjivih prirodnih proizvoda. No, u posljednje vrijeme sve se češće pčele spominju kao žrtve onečišćenja okoliša koje predstavlja stvarnu prijetnju njihovom opstanku. Pčele su opnokrilasti kukci koji broje oko 20 000 poznatih vrsta, a nama najpoznatija i najbliža je medonosna pčela, odnosno siva kranjska pčela (Apis mellifera carnica). Pčele su zaslužne za 87,5 % oprašivanja kod biljaka cvjetnjača, što je posebno važno u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji, dok se direktna korist od medonosnih pčela očituje i u pčelinjim proizvodima kao što su: med, vosak, propolis, pelud, otrov, matična mliječ. Stoga je ključno otkriti i pratiti na koji način i u kojoj mjeri onečišćivala poput teških metala i pesticida, iz vode, tla i zraka dospijevaju u biljke i njihove produkte kao i u same pčele. Sve se ono što pčele proizvode za sebe i ljudsku uporabu može odraziti na njihovo i na ljudsko zdravlje. Ovdje je potrebno sagledati cjelokupnu povezanost između, uvjetno rečeno, nežive prirode, tvari u vodi, tlu i zraku, s okolišnim uvjetima poput sve izraženije promjene staništa i klimatskih promjena te cjelokupni utjecaj na pčelinje populacije koje su se pokazale kao neprocjenjivi biopokazatelji u biomonitoringu onečišćenja okoliša.
Employment of doctors of veterinary medicine from 2010 - 2019
Authors: Cvitković Denis , Volarević Boris , Tadić Marko , Pašić Selim , Pavlak Marina
Published: June 2020

The employment of veterinarians is an indicator of economic development and of the quality of the relationship between humans and nature. Several authors have published reports on the employment of veterinarians. This paper examines the trends in unemployment and employment of veterinarians according to the records of the Croatian Employment Service (CES) in the period from 2010 to 2019. The CES is a public institution of the Republic of Croatia established under the Labour Market Act (Official Gazette 118/18) that plays a key role in regulating supply and demand on the labour market of the Republic of Croatia. The average number of employed veterinarians was higher than the average number of veterinarians registered in the CES records. An average of 181 veterinarians were sought annually, 160 were employed and
143 were registered, indicating that demand surpassed supply. Veterinarians were recruited faster than the average person with a college degree, within 180 days, and very few were in longterm unemployment. Most were employed in the category of young people (up to 30 years of age), and most were employed without any previous work experience. More women than men were employed. Most veterinarians were employed in the City of Zagreb, which reflects the relatively low livestock production and depopulation of rural areas, as the traditionally main and safest source of employment for veterinarians. According to the National Classification of Economic Activities (NKD), veterinarians were employed in almost all groups of activities, allowing
for greater employment flexibility and mobility on the labour market. According to the National Classification of Occupations (NKZ), on the other hand, most veterinarians were employed in group 2 (experts and scientists), likely since veterinary medicine is a regulated profession.
This also means that several were employed under their qualification levels. The employment of veterinarians was relatively better than for other university-educated workers, due to the relatively higher number of registered vacancies. The regression equation showed that the number of jobs offered to veterinarians in the observed period increased by slightly more than 9 jobs per year, indicating a possible increase in demand for veterinarians in the future. The same trend is seen in the projection of future trends in the labour market, which predicted an increase in the number of employed veterinarians in the period from 2014
to 2020, as well as an increase in the number of retirements. The data imply that it is necessary to increase the number of veterinarians, but also to raise their competencies to meet the increased competition on the European and global labour markets.

MANAJEMEN PENGANGKUTAN BARANG KIMIA BERBAHAYA: TINJAUAN KESELAMATAN DAN PEMENUHAN REGULASI
Authors: Barkah Syaiful , Mulyowahyudi Alugoro
Published: June 2020

This study analyzes the safety management of transporting dangerous chemical goods that are transported from the factory to the customer. By conducting a risk assessment of transportation activities and reviewing company compliance with regulations and laws. This research is descriptive qualitative or observational, the analytical method used in this study is the HIRADC (Hazard Identification Detemining Control Risk Assessment) method.

The results of this study provide an overview of the level of safety of transporting hazardous chemicals to carry out risk assessments in shipping goods to customers. Risks that score more than 1 are risks that must be followed up by making an objective program. The level of risk comes from a combination of likelihood (probability) and severity of impact (consequences). The results of this study are expected to be used to control and reduce current risks. Evaluation of company compliance with government regulations and legislation, can be used as a basis for developing compliance plans that were not previously met.
A survey of the impact of summer droughts in southern and eastern England, 1200–1700
Authors: Pribyl Kathleen
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Droughts pose a climatic hazard that had profound impacts on
past societies. Using documentary sources, this paper studies the
occurrence and impacts of spring–summer droughts in pre-industrial
England from 1200 to 1700. The types of records, source availability
and changes in record keeping over time are described, and an
overview of droughts in those 500 years is provided. The focus lies
on a structural survey over the drought impacts most relevant to
human livelihood. This includes the agricultural and pastoral
sectors of agrarian production, health, the fire risk to settlements, and the drop in water levels or dwindling of water supplies. Due to
the specific characteristics of wheat cultivation in medieval and
early modern England, the grain production was comparatively
resilient to drought, whereas livestock farming was under threat
when rainfall fell noticeably below average. Nonetheless, the most
important problem in warm and dry summers was the risk to health.
Partly steeply raised mortality levels were associated with these
conditions during the study period because malaria,
gastrointestinal disease and plague showed an affinity to heat and
drought. Adaptation strategies to reduce the stress posed by summer
droughts are included in the study.
Are tidal predictions a good guide to future extremes? – a critique of the Witness King Tides project
Authors: Hunter John
Published: June 2020

Abstract. An analysis of the viability of the Witness King Tides project (hereafter called WKT) using data from the GESLA-2 database of quasi-global tide-gauge records is described. The results indicate regions of the world where a key criterion for a WKT project (that it be executed on a day of unusually high sea level) would likely be met (e.g. the west coast of the USA) and others where it would not (e.g. the east coast of North America). Recommendations are made both for assessments that should be made prior to a WKT project and also for an alternative to WKT projects.
Capital Structure and Bank Performance: Empirical Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Molla Md. Ibrahim
Published: June 2020

The paper empirically investigates the relationship between capital structure and the performance of listed banks in Bangladesh using panel data over the period of five years from 2014-2018. To estimate the association between leverage level and bank performance the Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) model is used in this study and the findings indicate that long term debt has a positive influence on the performance of banks which is measured in terms of ROA and ROE. This implies that long term debts are associated with the higher performance of banks listed in Bangladesh. The regression results also reveal that the capital structure component of total debt has no statistically significant impact on ROA, ROE and EPS but it has a significant positive impact on the performance of banks measured by price earning ratio. Furthermore, this analysis finds no relationship of long term debt and total debt with the EPS. These findings lead to conclude that capital structure has a weak to no influence on the performance of listed banks in Bangladesh. This paper is the first research attempt that investigates the impact of capital structure on the performance of all banks listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange in Bangladesh.
The Influence of Civil Servants’ Attitude on Engagement and Participation in Cost Reduction Policy: A Case of Malaysia
Authors: Selamat Mohamad Hisyam , Soon Foo Kok
Published: June 2020

This study examined the influence of civil servants’ attitude on engagement and participation in cost reduction policy implementation in Malaysian public organizations. Attitude was divided into two categories, namely, attitude towards leader and attitude towards government. Civil servant engagement in the workplace was treated as the mediating variable. All these values were included in the conceptual framework. Cross-sectional survey was adopted to validate the framework. The sample size for the population of this study was determined at 400. From the analysis it was found that attitude towards leader and attitude towards government influenced participation in cost reduction policy implementation and engagement significantly. Additionally, engagement mediated the relationships between attitude towards leader, attitude towards government and participation in cost reduction policy implementation. Lastly, it was found that engagement influenced participation in cost reduction policy implementation significantly. The practical implications are the discovery of theoretical, personal, and workplace practical best practices for the participation in cost reduction policy implementation in public organizations.
Signs activate their written word translation in deaf adults: An ERP study on cross-modal co-activation in German Sign Language

Published: June 2020

Since signs and words are perceived and produced in distinct sensory-motor systems, they do not share a phonological basis. Nevertheless, many deaf bilinguals master a spoken language with input merely based on visual cues like mouth representations of spoken words and orthographic representations of written words. Recent findings further suggest that processing of words involves cross-language cross-modal co-activation of signs in deaf and hearing bilinguals. Extending these findings in the present ERP-study, we recorded the electroencephalogram (EEG) of fifteen congenitally deaf bilinguals of German Sign Language (DGS) (native L1) and German (early L2) as they saw videos of semantically and grammatically acceptable sentences in DGS. Within these DGS-sentences, two signs functioned as prime and target. Prime and target signs either had an overt phonological overlap as signs (phonological priming in DGS), or were phonologically unrelated as signs but had a covert orthographic overlap in their written German translation (orthographic priming in German). Results showed a significant priming effect for both conditions. Target signs that were either phonologically related as signs or had an underlying orthographic overlap in their written German translation engendered a less negative going polarity in the electrophysiological signal compared to overall unrelated control targets. We thus provide first evidence that deaf bilinguals co-activate their secondly acquired ‘spoken/written’ language German during whole sentence processing of their native sign language DGS.
Ethnomusicology beyond #MeToo: Listening for the Violences of the Field
Authors: Appert Catherine M. , Lawrence Sidra
Published: June 2020

Responding to an increasing sense of urgency about sexual harassment and assault during ethnographic fieldwork in the era of #MeToo, this article offers a lesson plan for effecting systemic change in the discipline of ethnomusicology. We show how disciplinary assumptions about the field where harassment occurs reify colonizing histories of racial othering, reinscribe heteronormativity, and alternately conflate or erase specific types of violences. We identify feminist scholarly genealogies that provide alternate models for theorizing in and through personal experience. We argue that this analytical work cannot and must not be absent from the important questions of how we practically approach and prepare students for fieldwork in ethnomusicology.

HETEROGENEITY ASSESSMENT BASED ON AVERAGE VARIATIONS OF MORPHOLOGICAL TORTUOSITY FOR COMPLEX POROUS STRUCTURES CHARACTERIZATION
Authors: Chaniot Johan , Moreaud Maxime , Sorbier Loic , Jeulin Dominique , Becker Jean-Marie , Fournel Thierry
Published: June 2020

Morphological characterization of porous media is of paramount interest, mainly due to the connections between their physicochemical properties and their porous microstructure geometry. Heterogeneity can be seen as a geometric characteristic of porous microstructures. In this paper, two novel topological descriptors are proposed, based on the M-tortuosity formalism. Using the concept of geometric tortuosity or morphological tortuosity, a first operator is defined, the H-tortuosity. It estimates the average variations of the morphological tortuosity as a function of the scale, based on Monte Carlo method and assessing the heterogeneity of porous networks. The second descriptor is an extension, named the H-tortuosity-by-iterativeerosions, taking into account different percolating particle sizes. These two topological operators are applied on Cox multi-scale Boolean models, to validate their behaviors and to highlight their discriminative power.

A Simplified Approach for Designing SRMs in Composite Continuous Twin-Tub Girder Bridges
Authors: Connor Robert J. , Korkmaz Cem , Campbell Leslie E. , Bonachera Martin Francisco J. , Lloyd Jason B.
Published: June 2020

High torsional rigidity and attractive aesthetics in construction of twin-tub girder bridges make them preferable for the design of curved bridges. However, according to the concepts associated with the term “Fracture Critical (FC)” that are in place today, all two-girder bridges are classified as having FC members (FCMs) due to their perceived lack of load path redundancy. For a steel bridge with FCMs, the fracture of any of the FCMs is assumed to result in complete catastrophic failure or significant loss of serviceability; hence, every two years twin-tub girder bridges undergo very expensive hands-on field inspections. This report presents a simplified approach to ensure newly designed twin-tub girder bridges will meet all the requirements defined in the 2018 AASHTO Guide Specifications without performing in-depth FEA. AASHTO-ready proposed specifications are included in Appendix A. It is anticipated that these provisions could be incorporated into the AASHTO LRFD BDS as a new article 6.6.3 Special Provisions for Twin Tub Girder Bridges.
