Authors: Tarakanov O.V. , Belyakova E.A. , Yurova V.S.
Published: October 2018

A complex organomineral additive based on local raw materials (diatomite), superplasticizer and accelerator for sodium sulfate hardening has been developed. The possibility of using activated diatomite in the composition of concrete instead of microsilica with activation of the sodium sulfate hardening process is shown. The results of the effect of additives on the composition of the hydrated phases of cement systems, the processes of structure formation and hardening of cement materials, the effect of a complex additive on the strength of concrete are given. The achievement of high strength parameters of concretes, including those with a lower cement consumption, is ensured by introducing into the concrete mix fine-dispersed mineral components that promote the creation of a rheologically active matrix and increase the effectiveness of super-and hyperplasticizers.

Authors: Lukash A.A. , Lukutsova N.P.
Published: October 2018

The article is devoted to the study of strength and thermal insulation properties of logs OBrien. To prevent shrinkage and surface cracks it is proposed to dry logs through the through longitudinal hole. The proposed method is the method of determining geometric parameters of longitudinal openings for the drying of logs, provided that the strength of the logs for a given it load in the design of the exterior walls of the typical wooden house. The stress-strain state of round logs in the outer walls of a wooden frame with a longitudinal hole diameters was studied. It was found that the most dangerous for the considered loadings are the stresses along the contour of the holes. The dependences obtained for the appointment of the diameter and position of holes of the load acting on the beam showed that the holes can be different, depending on the position in the log height of the structure. It was justified, based on the thermal resistance from geometric parameters of round logs.

Published: October 2018

Scattering of elastic waves in calcium molybdate films is considered. The transformation of elastic waves as a result of six-beam diffraction in an anisotropic layer is analyzed. This analysis is based on the transfer matrix method. The distribution of incident wave energy between six scattered waves is characterized by conversion coefficients. The method for conversion coefficients calculations is presented. It does not require solving algebraic problem on eigenvalues for waves in an anisotropic layer. Features of dependencies of conversion coefficients of CaMoO4 layers on angles of incidence, frequency and the thickness of the layer are demonstrated.

Authors: Merzlikin V.G. , Bolkina G.I. , Ignatova L.N.
Published: October 2018

The work is devoted to effective and ecological technologies for the application of functional structured materials for roads, railways, airfields on permafrost with forced cooling of the sub-soil foundation. The physical and mathematical simulation of the thermal state of frozen ground with single and double-layer coatings was performed. The temperature profiles of a model combine roadbed on the longstanding permafrost have been calculated at winter conditions of the Northern Hemisphere. This roadbed include an upper surface coating with low thermal conductivity and high emissivity in the long-wavelength IR range at convective-radiative heat exchange. The second high-conductive subsurface coating is laid on the underlying sub-soil and ensures its cooling as the “heat pump”. The efficiency of the proposed technology of roadbed construction based on the use of non-toxic waste of numerous industrial productions. The carried out research will be in demand for the specialists of transport support, engineering glaciology, in the field of climatology, oceanology, construction, environmental measures, and also in the presentation of financial and economic forecasts of the prospects for the development of polar and subpolar regions, the Arctic and the Antarctic, and high-mountain.
Implementation of a Clinical Pathway to Reduce Rates of Postextubation Stridor
Authors: Lange Megan , Badjatia Neeraj , Chang Wan-Tsu
Published: October 2018

Background

Unsuccessful extubation is associated with increased intensive care unit and hospital length of stays, hospital costs, morbidity, and mortality. The most common cause of reintubation is laryngeal edema, often evidenced by postextubation stridor.

Objective

To reduce the rates of postextubation stridor and reintubation in the neurocritical care unit at a large urban academic medical center.

Methods

A clinical pathway was created to aid in detecting patients expected to experience postextubation stridor and to guide prophylactic treatment. During the 12-week implementation phase, the pathway was completed on all intubated patients daily.

Results

The 12-week trial included a total of 606 days of mechanical ventilation. Checklists were completed for 531 days, a compliance rate of 88% for use of the clinical pathway. Of the 56 patients who were extubated during the trial, 54 had a checklist completed, for 96% compliance on the day of extubation. Outcomes after all nonpalliative extubations (n = 43) during the 12 weeks before and after implementation of the pathway (n = 56 periods) were evaluated by using χ2 tests. Implementation of the pathway was associated with a significant reduction in rates of postextubation stridor (χ2 = 6.2; P = .01), reintubation (χ2 = 5.5; P = .02), and reintubation due to postextubation stridor (χ2 = 8.3; P = .004).

Conclusion

The clinical pathway implemented in the neurocritical care unit was safe and effective in reducing rates of reintubation and reintubation due to postextubation stridor.

This article discusses congenital heart defects that are marginal candidates for biventricular repair and highlights the anatomic considerations upon which the surgical decision is based. Specifically, the article reviews the importance of capacitance and compliance of the ventricles and their associated atrioventricular valves. For each of the defects discussed, the imaging modalities used to diagnose a marginal ventricle are reviewed and the surgical decision-making process is outlined. The article also reviews immediate postoperative treatment of these patients and when to consider biventricular repair of a marginal lesion to be a failure.
The Intranasal Route as an Alternative Method of Medication Administration
Authors: Tucker Calvin , Tucker Lyn , Brown Kyle
Published: October 2018

Intranasal drug administration is a less invasive method of drug delivery that is easily accessible for adult and pediatric patients. Medications administered by the intranasal route have efficacy comparable to intravenous administration and typically have superior efficacy to subcutaneous or intramuscular routes. The intranasal route is beneficial in emergent situations when the intravenous route is not available. The intranasal route is safe and effective in various indications, and therapeutic systemic concentrations of medication can be attained via this route. As the evidence for and comfort with intranasal administration continue to grow, guidance on correct technique, medications, and dosing is vital for appropriate use. This article reviews the process and practices of appropriate intranasal medication administration.
Lysyl–Transfer RNA Synthetase Induces the Maturation of Dendritic Cells through MAPK and NF-κB Pathways, Strongly Contributing to Enhanced Th1 Cell Responses

Published: October 2018

In addition to essential roles in protein synthesis, lysyl–tRNA synthetase (KRS) is secreted to trigger a proinflammatory function that induces macrophage activation and TNF-α secretion. KRS has been associated with autoimmune diseases such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of KRS on bone marrow–derived dendritic cells (DCs) of C57BL/6 mice and subsequent polarization of Th cells and analyzed the underlying mechanisms. KRS-treated DCs increased the expression of cell surface molecules and proinflammatory cytokines associated with DC maturation and activation. Especially, KRS treatment significantly increased production of IL-12, a Th1-polarizing cytokine, in DCs. KRS triggered the nuclear translocation of the NF-κB p65 subunit along with the degradation of IκB proteins and the phosphorylation of MAPKs in DCs. Additionally, JNK, p38, and ERK inhibitors markedly recovered the degradation of IκB proteins, suggesting the involvement of MAPKs as the upstream regulators of NF-κB in the KRS-induced DC maturation and activation. Importantly, KRS-treated DCs strongly increased the differentiation of Th1 cells when cocultured with CD4+ T cells. The addition of anti–IL-12–neutralizing Ab abolished the secretion of IFN-γ in the coculture, indicating that KRS induces Th1 cell response via DC-derived IL-12. Moreover, KRS enhanced the OVA-specific Th1 cell polarization in vivo following the adoptive transfer of OVA-pulsed DCs. Taken together, these results indicated that KRS effectively induced the maturation and activation of DCs through MAPKs/NF-κB–signaling pathways and favored DC-mediated Th1 cell response.
Cutting Edge: Local Proliferation of Uterine Tissue-Resident NK Cells during Decidualization in Mice

Published: October 2018

NK cells accumulate in adult murine and human uteri during decidualization induced physiologically, pathologically, or experimentally. Adoptive transfer studies indicate that uterine NK (uNK) cells arise from circulating progenitors. However, virgin uteri contain few circulating NK1.1+CD49a− conventional NK cells, whereas NK1.1+CD49a+ tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells are abundant. In this study, we employed a novel, immune-competent NK cell–specific reporter mouse to track accumulation of uNK cells during unmanipulated pregnancies. We identified conventional NK and trNK cells accumulating in both decidua basalis and myometrium. Only trNK cells showed evidence of proliferation. In parabiosis studies using experimentally induced deciduomata, the accumulated uNK cells were proliferating trNK cells; migrating NK cells made no contribution. Together, these data suggest proliferating trNK cells are the source of uNK cells during endometrial decidualization.
Perceived organisational support and well-being: The role of psychological capital as a mediator
Authors: Roemer Anja , Harris Chantel
Published: October 2018

Orientation: Today’s competitive work environment requires organisations and employees to successfully cope with challenges to maintain healthy levels of well-being. It is, therefore, imperative to investigate which organisational and psychological factors contribute to well-being in employees.Research purpose: This study served to analyse whether psychological capital (PsyCap) mediates the relationship between perceived organisational support (POS) and well-being.Motivation for the study: In light of the positive psychology movement, this study aimed to investigate how positive constructs actively contribute to employee well-being. Knowledge of organisational and psychological factors that enhance well-being in employees will be of great benefit to organisations that aim to create positivity in the workplace in order to avoid the negative consequences of work-related stress and a toxic work environment.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional, non-experimental design, applying convenience and snowball sampling, was used to recruit 159 South African employees who completed an online survey that assessed the constructs under investigation.Main findings: It was found that POS, PsyCap and well-being are positively correlated to one another. Moreover, hierarchical regression analyses revealed that PsyCap fully mediates the relationship between POS and well-being.Practical/managerial implications: These findings imply that organisations should be committed to target their employees’ PsyCap to enhance well-being in their workforce.Contribution/value-add: The findings show that it is not sufficient just to provide organisational support to enhance well-being. Organisations also need to acknowledge the important role of their employees’ PsyCap to ensure that they are well equipped to deal with challenges in the workplace while maintaining healthy levels of well-being.
Fluvial organic carbon fluxes from oil palm plantations on
tropical peatland

Published: October 2018

Abstract. Intact tropical peatlands are dense, long-term stores of carbon. However, the future security of these ecosystems is at risk from land conversion and extensive peatland drainage. This can enhance peat oxidation and convert long-term carbon sinks into significant carbon sources. In Southeast Asia, the largest land use on peatland is for oil palm plantation agriculture. Here, we present the first annual estimate of exported fluvial organic carbon in the drainage waters of four peatland oil palm plantation areas in Sarawak, Malaysia. Total organic carbon (TOC) fluxes from the plantation second and third order drains were dominated by dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ranged from 34.4 ± 9.7 C m−2 yr−1 to 57.7 ± 16.3 g C m−2 yr−1 (± 95 % confidence interval). The magnitude of the flux was found to be influenced by water table depth, with higher TOC fluxes observed from more deeply drained sites. Radiocarbon dating on the DOC component indicated the presence of old (pre-1950s) carbon in all samples collected, with DOC at the most deeply drained site having a mean age of 735 years. Overall, our estimates suggest fluvial TOC contributes ~ 5 % of total carbon losses from oil palm plantations on peat. Maintenance of high and stable water tables in oil palm plantations appears to be key to minimising TOC losses. This reinforces the importance of considering all carbon loss pathways, rather than just CO2 emissions from the peat surface, in studies of tropical peatland land conversion.
Ensemble Forecasts of Air Quality in Eastern China – Part 2. Evaluation of the MarcoPolo-Panda Prediction System, Version 1

Published: October 2018

Abstract. An operational multi-model forecasting system for air quality has been developed to provide air quality services for urban areas of China. The initial forecasting system included seven state-of-the-art computational models developed and executed in Europe and China (CHIMERE, IFS, EMEP MSC-W, WRF-Chem-MPIM, WRF-Chem-SMS, LOTOS-EUROS and SILAMtest). Several other models joined the prediction system recently, but are not considered in the present analysis. In addition to the individual models, a simple multi-model ensemble was constructed by deriving statistical quantities such as the median and the mean of the predicted concentrations. The prediction system provides daily forecasts and observational data of surface ozone, nitrogen dioxides and particulate matter for the 37 largest urban agglomerations in China (population higher than 3 million in 2010). These individual forecasts as well as the multi-model ensemble predictions for the next 72 hours are displayed as hourly outputs on a publicly accessible web site (www.marcopolo-panda.eu). In this paper, the performance of the predictions system (individual models and the multi-model ensemble) for the first operational year (April 2016 until June 2017) has been analysed through statistical indicators using the surface observational data reported at Chinese national monitoring stations. This evaluation aims to investigate a) the seasonal behavior, b) the geographical distribution and c) diurnal variations of the ensemble and model skills. Statistical indicators show that the ensemble product usually provides the best performance compared to the individual model forecasts. The ensemble product is robust even if occasionally some individual model results are missing. Overall and in spite of some discrepancies, the air quality forecasting system is well suited for the prediction of air pollution events and has the ability to provide alert warning (binary prediction) of air pollution events if bias corrections are applied to improve the ozone predictions.
Combined impacts of ENSO and MJO on the 2015 growing season drought on the Canadian Prairies
Authors: Li Zhenhua , Li Yanping , Bonsal Barrie , Manson Alan H. , Scaff Lucia
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Warm-season precipitation on the Canadian Prairies plays a crucial role in
agricultural production. This research investigates how the early summer 2015
drought across the Canadian Prairies is related to the tropical Pacific
forcing. The significant deficit of precipitation in May and June 2015
coincided with a warm phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and a
negative phase of Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO)-4 index, which favour a
positive geopotential height (GPH) anomaly in western Canada. Our further
investigation during the instrumental record (1979–2016) shows that
warm-season precipitation in the Canadian Prairies and the corresponding
atmospheric circulation anomalies over western Canada teleconnected with the
lower boundary conditions in the tropical western Pacific. Our results
indicate that MJO can play a crucial role in determining the summer
precipitation anomaly in the western Canadian Prairies when the equatorial
central Pacific is warmer than normal (NINO4 > 0) and MJO is more
active. This teleconnection is due to the propagation of a stationary Rossby
wave that is generated in the MJO-4 index region. When the tropical
convection around MJO-4 index region (western tropical Pacific, centred over
140∘ E) is more active than normal (NINO4 > 0), Rossby
wave trains originate from the western Pacific with wavenumbers determined by
the background mean wind and meridional absolute vorticity gradient. Under
warm NINO4 conditions waves are generated with smaller wavenumbers compared
to cold NINO4 conditions. These waves under warm NINO4 can propagate into the
mid-latitudes over North America, causing a persistent anomalous ridge in the
upper level over western Canada, which favours dry conditions over the
region.
Representation of basal melting at the grounding line in ice flow models
Authors: Seroussi Hélène , Morlighem Mathieu
Published: October 2018

Abstract. While a lot of attention has been given to the numerical implementation of
grounding lines and basal friction in the grounding zone, little has been
done about the impact of the numerical treatment of ocean-induced basal
melting in this region. Several strategies are currently being employed in
the ice sheet modeling community, and the resulting grounding line dynamics
may differ strongly, which ultimately adds significant uncertainty to the
projected contribution of marine ice sheets to sea level rise. We investigate
here several implementations of basal melt parameterization on partially
floating elements in a finite-element framework, based on the Marine Ice
Sheet–Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (MISOMIP) setup: (1) melt applied
only to entirely floating elements, (2) melt applied over all elements that
are crossed by the grounding line, and (3) melt integrated partially over the
floating portion of a finite element using two different sub-element
integration methods. All methods converge towards the same state when the
mesh resolution is fine enough. However, (2) and (3) will systematically
overestimate the rate of grounding line retreat in coarser resolutions, while
(1) converges faster to the solution in most cases. The differences between
sub-element parameterizations are exacerbated for experiments with high
melting rates in the vicinity of the grounding line and for a Weertman
sliding law. As most real-world simulations use horizontal mesh resolutions
of several hundreds of meters at best, and high melt rates are generally
present close to the grounding lines, we recommend not using (3) to avoid
overestimating the rate of grounding line retreat and to carefully assess the
impact of mesh resolution and sub-element melt parameterizations on all
simulation results.
Sensitivity of geodetic glacier mass balance estimation to DEM void
interpolation
Authors: McNabb Robert , Nuth Christopher , Kääb Andreas , Girod Luc
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Glacier mass balance is a direct expression of climate change, with implications for sea level, ocean chemistry, oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems, and water resources. Traditionally, glacier mass balance has been estimated using in-situ measurements of changes in surface height and density at select locations on the glacier surface, or by comparing changes in surface height using repeat, full-coverage digital elevation models (DEMs), also called the geodetic method. DEMs often have gaps in coverage (voids) based on the nature of the sensor used and the surface being measured. The way that these voids are accounted for has a direct impact on the estimate of geodetic glacier mass balance, though a systematic comparison of different proposed methods has been heretofore lacking. In this study, we determine the impact and sensitivity of void-filling methods on estimates of volume change. Using two spatially complete, high-resolution DEMs over Southeast Alaska, USA, we compare 11 different void-filling methods on a glacier-by-glacier and regional basis. We find that a few methods introduce biases of up to 20 % in the regional results, while other methods give results very close (
Over 1,000 Years of Contact Between Arabic and the Eastern and Southern African Languages: A Case Study of Kiswahili and Setswana
Authors: Batibo Herman M.
Published: October 2018

Arab travellers and traders along the eastern African coast, more than 1000 years ago, were the first Arabic speaking people to bring Arabic language in contact with the other African languages in eastern and later southern Africa. Over the years, Arabic gained a lot of influence in the region. The impact of Arabic can be seen, especially in old scripts, loanwords, Arabic accents and sound features in some of the local languages.This article examines the nature and extent of contact situations between Arabic and two languages, namely Kiswahili, spoken in eastern Africa, and Setswana, spoken in southern Africa. The study is based on the Language Contact Theory, which states that the nature, length and intensity of language contact are the key factors determining the linguistic and sociolinguistic processes that take place. Contact between languages could be either direct or indirect. The main argument of the study is that the extent of influence of a language on another depends not only on the nature of contact, but also, and mainly, on the length and intensity of contact. The paper highlights the domains in which elements of Arabic origin have infiltrated or been adopted in these languages.

Published: October 2018

Antiemetics are commonly prescribed during the treatment of canine parvoviral enteritis. This blinded, randomized prospective study compared the quality of clinical recovery and duration of hospitalization in canine parvoviral dogs receiving either maropitant (1 mg/kg [0.45 mg/lb] IV q 24 hr, n = 11) or ondansetron (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb] IV q 8 hr, n = 11). All dogs were treated with IV fluids, cefoxitin, and enteral nutrition. Frequency of vomiting and pain scoring were recorded twice daily. Rescue analgesics and antiemetics were administered as dictated by specific pain and vomiting criteria. Clinical severity scoring, body weight, and caloric intake were monitored daily. When comparing dogs receiving maropitant versus ondansetron, respectively, there were no differences in duration of hospitalization (3.36 ± 0.56 versus 2.73 ± 0.38 days, P = .36), requirement of rescue antiemetic (3/11 versus 5/11 dogs, P = .66), duration of vomiting (5 versus 4 days, P = .65), or days to voluntary food intake (2 versus 1.5 days, P = 1.0). Results of this study suggest that maropitant and ondansetron are equally effective in controlling clinical signs associated with parvoviral enteritis.
Sobre o papel da sociedade civil organizada na luta pelo reconhecimento das liberdades fundamentais durante os processos de negociação da paz: lições da guerra civil na Serra Leoa e do Acordo de Paz de Lomé
Authors: Scherf Erick Da Luz , Gonzalez Rodrigo Milindre
Published: October 2018

É em um contexto de transição inadequada ao sistema moderno estatal e de transferência de poder político às elites africanas no contexto pós-colonial, que a República da Serra Leoa (país da África Ocidental) mergulhará no conflito que interromperia o processo de construção do Estado e desintegraria o país no período de 1991 a 2002, no qual fora, predominantemente, mas não exclusivamente liderado pela Frente Revolucionária Unida (FRU), sob comando de Foday Sankoh (ASANGNA, 2017). O conflito armado que durou onze anos na Serra Leoa foi caracterizado pela extrema brutalidade e violações generalizadas dos direitos humanos, principalmente, contra civis. Portanto, tem-se como objetivos identificar qual foi o grau de importância da sociedade civil organizada na luta pelo reconhecimento das liberdades fundamentais durante os processos de negociação da paz na Serra Leoa e na posterior formalização do Acordo de Lomé, que formalmente pôs término ao conflito. Assim como, analisar se, tais liberdades foram alcançadas materialmente ou não, no contexto social serra-leonês. Para alcançar o primeiro objetivo, utilizar-se-á a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com a finalidade de cruzar informações referentes à atuação efetiva dos órgãos da sociedade civil no que cerne ao reconhecimento das referidas liberdades no Acordo de Paz. E no que cerne ao segundo objetivo, analisar-se-á a efetivação das liberdades abarcadas pelo Acordo na realidade material dos serra-leoninos. O método de pesquisa é o indutivo e os mecanismos de pesquisa são o bibliográfico e o documental.

Published: October 2018

The general objective of the present study was to assess the views of pre-school teachers on their professional work.Since the research aimed to describe the current status of professional work, it was designed with the survey model.The study group included 105 pre-school teachers determined with the single-stage sampling method. The data werecollected with Views on Professional Work Questionnaire for teachers (MEB, 2006). The data obtained in the studywere analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 software. The Mann-Whitney U-Test and the Independent Samples t-Test wereused to compare the differences between the quantitative data when there are two groups, and one-way ANOVA wasused to compare the group parameters between more than two groups. The study results demonstrated that the viewsof pre-school teachers on professional work were at a good level in terms of both the beginning and the end of theyear professional work and the fulfillment of teachers’ needs by the professional work. However, the views ofpre-school teachers on the beginning and the end of the year professional work and the fulfillment of teachers’ needsby the professional work did not demonstrate a significant difference based on gender, seniority in the teachingprofession, place of employment and participation in activities on vocational studies during the previous three yearsvariables.

Online Behavior Recognition: Can We Consider It Biometric Data under GDPR?
Authors: Krausová Alžběta
Published: October 2018

Our everyday use of electronic devices and search for various contents online provides valuable insights into our functioning and preferences. Companies usually extract and analyze this data in order to predict our future behavior and to tailor their marketing accordingly. In terms of the General Data Protection Regulation such practice is called profiling and is subject to specific rules. However, the behavior analysis can be used also for unique identification or verification of identity of a person. Therefore, this paper claims that under certain conditions data about online behavior of an individual fall into the category of biometric data within the meaning defined by the GDPR. Moreover, this paper claims that profiling of a person can not only be done upon existing biometric data as biometric profiling but it can also lead to creation of new biometric data by constituting a new biometric template. This claim is based both on legal interpretation of the concepts of biometric data, unique identification, and profiling as well as analysis of existing technologies. This article also explains under which conditions online behavior can be considered biometric data under the GDPR, at which point profiling results in creation of new biometric data and what are the consequences for a controller and data subjects.

Comunidades, racionalidad y mercados: una crítica institucional a la defensa emancipadora de la economía colaborativa
Authors: Laín Escandell Bru
Published: October 2018

Este artículo discute la llamada economía colaborativa para señalar, en primer y segundo lugar, algunas dificultades que aparecen (o pueden aparecer) a la hora de comprenderla tanto en términos analíticos como conceptuales. En tercer lugar, expone dos de las interpretaciones más extendidas actualmente para, en cuarto lugar, centrarse en aquella que atribuye a la economía colaborativa un carácter emancipador. En particular, se discuten tres importantes limitaciones a las que usualmente debe hacer frente dicha perspectiva: el excesivo protagonismo que otorga a las comunidades colaborativas y al principio de paraigualdad; su modo de entender la racionalidad humana; y su visión a-institucional y meramente psicológica de la naturaleza y el funcionamiento de los mercados. El artículo concluye sugiriendo que, para lograr que la economía colaborativa despliegue su potencial emancipador, se requieren instituciones sociales y políticas que pongan a funcionar dicha colaboración en beneficio de todas y todos.This paper discusses the so-called collaborative economy, first and second, by pointing out some difficulties that appear (or can appear) in its understanding, both in conceptual and analytical terms. In the third section, two of its most currently widespread interpretations are analysed, while the fourth section focusses in the one that imputes to it an emancipatory character. In particular, three of this interpretation’s most usual boundaries are analysed: the excessive prominence that it confers to collaborative communities and to the principle of egalitarianism; its understanding of the human rationality; and its a-institutional and its mere psychologic approach to the nature and the functioning of markets. The paper concludes by suggesting that, in order to collaborative economy deploy its emancipatory potential, social and political institutions that turns collaboration in benefiting everyone are required.
Innovación transformadora. Propuestas desde la innovación social colectiva para el desarrollo humano

Published: October 2018

Hay muchas maneras de entender y practicar la innovación social. En este artículo queremos abordar una perspectiva concreta: la innovación social colectiva (ISC) que busca explícitamente la transformación de los regímenes socio-técnicos. A partir del análisis de dos experiencias que tienen lugar en Valencia (grupos de consumo y una cooperativa energética), caracterizamos el sentido de la transformación de las ISC y su direccionalidad. Para lo primero, se recurre al marco de las transiciones socio-técnicas, mientras que para lo segundo el análisis se realiza desde el desarrollo humano. El análisis arroja diferencias sustanciales en la manera en la que las ISC entienden la producción, las tecnologías, las políticas y regulaciones, la estructura industrial, los canales de acceso y las fuentes de conocimiento, respecto de las prácticas socio-técnicas dominantes. Asimismo evidencia que sus propuestas se alinean claramente con los principios del desarrollo humano y permiten la expansión de capacidades y de agencia.There are many ways to understand and practice social innovation. In this article we touch upon a specific perspective: grassroots innovations (gi) which explicitly seek the transformation of socio-technical regimes. From the analysis of two experiences that took place in the city of Valencia (consumer groups and an energy cooperative), we characterize the sense of the transformation of the grassroots and its directionality. For the former, the framework of socio-technical transitions is used, while, for the latter, the analysis is being made through the human development approach. The analysis reveals substantial differences in the way in which gi understand production, technologies, policies and regulations, industrial structure, access channels and sources of knowledge, compared with dominant socio-technical practices. It also shows that their proposals are clearly aligned with the principles of human development and allow the expansion of capabilities and agency.

Making use of one’s gifts of tonguesUrsula Andkjær Olsen’s Lulus sange og taler (2000) is characterised by its fragmentary form, consisting of separate text parts ranging from philosophical essays to intimate private confessions. The article tries to show that the observant reader actually can find a quite closely knitted inner texture connecting the disparate elements with each other, thematically as well as in the text’s enunciation, how strange this might appear at first glance.

Introduktion til Social Formalism (1998)
Authors: Hale Dorothy
Published: October 2018

Introduction to Social Formalism (1998)In this introductory chapter to her book Social Formalism: The Novel in Theory from Henry James to the Present (1998), Dorothy Hale is engaging a double polemic against the dominating tradition within cultural studies and argues that not only does this tradition, which claims to have more interest in the ‘world’ than in the ‘work’, base its studies in classical literary works; it has also lost sight of the relevant theoretical approaches. To Hale, a reactualization of ‘novel theory’ is therefore emergent, and it is the aim of her study to show that the critique that has been raised against formalistic-oriented novel theory for not having any other interest in the novel than the description of its ‘literariness’ is wrong. Literary theorists like Henry James, Percy Lubbock, Wayne Booth, Gérard Genette and Michail Bachtin have shared the conviction that the novel, through its formal aspects, embodies the author’s vision of both social identity and social reality – no matter whether this is formulated as Lubbock’s ‘vision’, Genette’s ‘voice’ or Bachtin’s ‘dialogicity’. In this respect, these theorists are not as far from the sociocultural approaches of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Barbara Johnson and Henry Louis Gates as is claimed. They are connected insofar as they share a social formalistic interest, i.e. they consider the formal aspects of the text as an expression for and a result of a specific and historically variable social formation.
Kultur uden klasse? – Klasse uden kultur?
Authors: Nielsen Henrik Kaare
Published: October 2018

Culture without Class? – Class without Culture?The article argues that it is still a plausible assumption that a crucial mutual relationship of exchange and influence exists between material life conditions and the formation of consciousness and cultural meaning, but that this relationship today is of a far more complex and differentiated nature than assumed by the classic theories about »culture and class«. Hence, contemporary social and cultural struggles are being carried out on other terms than previously. The argument is made that the class structure of the advanced capitalist countries has been subject to comprehensive changes and that the reproduction of the concrete cultural contexts of life and meaning, societally integrated and conditioned as they are, at the same time eludes conceptualisation on the basis of traditional theories of class and a priori determining patterns of development.
Kulturpolitiske kanonkugler

Kulturkanonen og kulturens nationalstatslige forankring The Cultural Canon and the national anchoring of cultureThis paper deals with the importance of the concepts of culture and class in contemporary Danish politics. The concepts are necessary in order to understand the political discourse about globalisation and the ways in which the relations between the local and the global are changing. The Ministry of Culture’s Canon of Culture, launched on the 24th of January 2006, exemplifies how the government’s conception of globalisation as a threat to the nation results in a cultural political strategy, which is an attempt to establish a shared national comprehension of culture as locally bound. It is claimed that culture is used as a means to establish an imagined, territorially bound and unchangeable nation state. The local anchoring of culture entails that trans-national and global communities based on culture and class are undermined in favour of national identity. The complexity of the nation and the world is reduced because of the national standardisation of culture, which installs an illusory order, a community based on values and culture. Culture becomes hierarchical – this article says – when those who are not a part of the community are excluded. Human beings, societies and cultures are then divided.
