ANALYSIS OF ACOUSTIC PATH TRANSMISSION FACTOR FOR ANGULAR VELOCITY SENSOR
Authors: Durukan Ya. , Peregudov A. N. , Shevelko M. M.
Published: March 2019

The change in characteristics of ultrasonic waves’ transmittion in solid rotating media is the basis for the operation of acoustic angular velocity sensor. The transmission coefficient of the sensing element (SE) of the acoustic path deter-mines the level of angular velocity sensor informative signal based on detecting changes in characteristics of bulk acoustic waves in solid media. In this regard, the efforts aimed at obtaining maximum transmission coefficient are relevant and represent an important stage in the design of such devices. The sensitive element of the acoustic path consists of radiating and receiving plate piezoelectric transducers, propagation medium (acoustic duct), contact layers and electrical load. The coefficient is identical to the path of ultrasonic delay lines on bulk acoustic waves. Although, many sources present the theoretical analysis of the path of this type, they carry out the analysis in so-called one-dimensional approximation, i.e. they perform the analysis without taking into account the limited transverse dimensions, whereas the path of the sensing element should have limited lateral dimensions, which can affect the value of transmission coefficient. The above-mentioned sources do not present the results of experiments. Thus, it is necessary to conduct a complex of simulation and experiments to analyze the acoustic path transmission coefficient of the angular velocity sensor. Authors of the paper developed a pathmodeling program in Mathcad software to perform simulation. For implementation of the experiment, authors created the installation, as well as a number of proto-types with transducers made of piezoelectric quartz and piezoelectric ceramics. The results demonstrate that fundamental statements developed for one-dimensional approximation one can use to determine the transmission coefficient of the acoustic path with limited dimensions. Besides, the use of the matched electrical load gives the opportunity to increase the transmission coefficient. For example, in case of Y-cut piezoelectric quartz converter prototype the increase reached 20 dB.

Authors: Hu Jingyi
Published: March 2019

Reading plays a significant role in language learning and information communication. This study investigated the influence of content schema on Chinese English learners’ reading comprehension. Participants were 20 freshmen with the same English proficiency. Schema theory was adopted as the theoretical foundation. The results showed that: (1) Content schemata enhanced L2 learners’ reading comprehension performance; (2) Content schemata had a positive impact on the comprehension of expository passages and little effect on that of narrative passages; (3) Proficiency level correlated positively with reading comprehension performance. But the insufficiency of language knowledge could be supplemented by relevant schemata. Based on the above, some suggestions are provided for the teaching and learning of English.
Comparing the lifestyle of Islamic and Western Students Based on the School of Secularism
Authors: Ahmadi Abas , Moghadam Mostafa Abasi
Published: March 2019

Aim: The Aim of this article was to compare the lifestyle of Islamic and Western students based on the school of secularism. Lifestyle is a category that has been attended by scientists from different schools in the new age. Western scholars from the Renaissance later on have provided many articles on this subject and considered it a new category. Western scholars differed in their worldview and ideology, of which, including the secular school of thought. The secularist insight, which is a special and evolved form of nouns such as materialist and humanistic, has been devoted to the world and its followers. Methodology: The research method was a field study and a library study. By expressing concepts related to lifestyle by Western scholars, students turned into a particular lifestyle that they considered desirable according to their type of thinking. Because the kind of insight and type of ideology plays a very important role in choosing a lifestyle. But in traditional and religious societies such as Islamic society, Islamic lifestyle is based on Islamic worldview and ideology, and it has conflicts and differences with Western lifestyle and secularism. This article tries to "compare the lifestyle of Islamic and Western students based on the secularist school". Results and conclusion: western Secular Student Involves Four Characteristics in Lifestyle: 1) The human-centered worldview 2) A wise man in the world 3) Man is limited to the material world 4) Originality of consumption in determining lifestyle. But the characteristics of the student lifestyle from the perspective of the Quran and hadith are as follows: 1) Godliness and belief in the position of human caliphate on earth 2) Sense, Reason and Revelation, Elements of Human Knowledge 3) The close relationship between the individual and the community 4) The Origin of Spirituality and Humanity in Determining the Lifestyle 5) Component Science for Evolution. The principles of difference in these two are: 1) Differences in the type of worldview 2) Differences in the source and factors determining the type of lifestyle 3) Differences in anthropology 4) Difference in attitude towards science.
The Heterogeneity of National Regulations in Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment in Europe
Authors: Laireiter Anton-Rupert , Weise Cornelia
Published: March 2019

The Bologna Process was initiated to harmonize study processes and contents throughout Europe in order to facilitate communication and cross-border study exchange. However, when it comes to postgraduate education and practical work in clinical psychology, no such harmonization exists - there is still significant heterogeneity between European countries.

To initiate the section Politics and Education, we analysed the current situation in Europe with regard to national regulations on education, training and practice in clinical psychology and psychological treatment and give a brief summary on the status quo.

There are extensive differences across Europe regarding governmental and national regulations for psychologists in general, and clinical psychologists in particular. Whereas some countries have very detailed regulations including a description of reserved activities for clinical psychologists, others leave the profession widely unregulated. When it comes to psychological treatment, some countries define it as an independent activity allowed to be applied by different professions, others clearly restrict access to the profession of psychotherapists.

A great diversity in national regulations and practical issues related to clinical psychology and psychological treatment exists across Europe. Our results underline the importance of the Politics and Education section in the journal Clinical Psychology in Europe in order to strengthen the development of an international perspective on clinical psychology.

National regulations for clinical psychologists differ significantly between European countries.

Structure and contents of postgraduate training in clinical psychology vary widely across Europe.

In some countries, treatment is reserved to psychologists, in others it's open for further professions.

The Politics and Education section shall foster understanding, communication and cooperation.

Los pensamientos de los profesores universitarios de ciencias de la salud : concepciones sobre enseñanza y aprendizaje.
Authors: Castellanos Ramos Carolina
Published: March 2019

El presente artículo pretende dar cuenta de los resultados de la investigación referida a los pensamientos de los profesores universitarios de Ciencias de la Salud, los cuales fueron identificados a través del análisis de tres dimensiones inscritas en la triada del pensamiento según Dewey, (1938). Lo que sabemos (intelectual), recordamos (personal) y percibimos (socio afectiva). Estas tres dimensiones permitieron investigar a profundidad el pensamiento del docente y su quehacer pedagógico. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron guías de relatos, encuestas y entrevistas lo que permitió indagar historias de vida, tipos de conocimientos y estatus-roles. Por lo holístico del estudio se pudo identificar la imagen con la que se identifica y son identificados los docentes. El estudio de las concepciones pedagógicas constituye una interesante propuesta de reflexión, orientada a mejorar la conceptualización pedagógica y refuerzo del primer componente básico del trabajo académico. Los resultados no solo tributan hacia el conocimiento y reconocimiento de los docentes universitarios, sino que exhortan hacia la transformación educativa a partir de la construcción de la identidad docente y actualización pedagógica.

Authors: Torres Elizabeth , Cardenas Palermo Yeimy , Pertuz Bedoya Carol
Published: March 2019

El artículo presenta resultados de la investigación “Infancia, educación y posacuerdos: una mirada a los casos de Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala”, financiada por el Centro de Investigaciones de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (CIUP), durante la vigencia 2017. Se parte de asumir como perspectiva teórico-conceptual la infancia en tanto noción histórica, cultural y social, y los niños como actores y como generación, al tiempo que se muestra la necesidad de conjugar estas dos formas de enunciación para complejizar los análisis acerca del papel de la infancia y los niños en el marco de las guerras civiles y los movimientos revolucionarios en Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala, en los años ochenta. Con base en este recorrido, se cuestiona la ausencia de estudios sobre la situación de la infancia en las confrontaciones armadas y de compromisos estatales en lo relacionado con la justicia y la reparación de los niños y las niñas en atención a las particulares formas de afectación de esta población en los contextos investigados.

El racismo foucaultiano como herramienta analítica para el debate político contemporáneo.
Authors: Herrera Casadiego Carlos Mario
Published: March 2019

A partir de una revisión de la obra de Michel Foucault, el presente artículo se propone evidenciar cómo el concepto de racismo formulado por el filósofo francés puede emplearse como herramienta analítica para el debate político contemporáneo. En el transcurso del cumplimiento de ese propósito se pondrán de relieve los rasgos principales de los tres paradigmas de poder expuestos por Foucault, estos son: soberano, disciplinario y biopolítico. Esta exposición servirá como marco de referencia para introducir el concepto de racismo, definir sus características y operatividad, así como mostrar casos en los que la categoría puede ser instrumento de análisis para fenómenos políticos concretos.
Las arquitecturas de las prácticas en las artes visuales : cuestiones para pensar otras prácticas.
Authors: Gutierrez Castro Flor Angela
Published: March 2019

Este artículo de reflexión es producto de un estudio detallado del concepto de práctica, que mediante la apropiación y desarrollo de presupuestos epistemológicos de la práctica pedagógica en medio de las arquitecturas de las prácticas (Kemmis y otros, 2014c, pp. 51–52) y la práctica de las artes visuales, provoca otros significados y sentidos a la construcción del discurso relacionado con los nuevos modos de comunicación en la escuela. A partir de estas dos categorías que estructuran el tópico objeto de reflexión se busca esclarecer relaciones posibles que permitan un primer acercamiento a la utilidad de la teoría en construcción: 1. Es necesario comprender los discursos, haceres y relaciones en que ha emergido la práctica de las artes visuales para llegar a la construcción de nuevas y buenas prácticas. 2. Las buenas prácticas forjadas desde las nuevas condiciones cultural–discursivas, material–económicas y político social están atravesadas por dos categorías imprescindibles en la configuración de sujetos de bien: la experiencia subjetiva y la experiencia estética. El texto concluye con una provocación para replantear desde la relación cultura visual-artes visuales, nuevas prácticas pedagógicas basadas en una estructura de buenas prácticas reconocidas como lo cambiado en lo que se hace.

Published: March 2019

The study results of individual and psychological predictors of adaptation and disadaptation in specialists of extreme profile are presented. The main group included 65 males - law enforcement agencies (Federal Service for the Execution of Sentences and the Ministry of Interior). The experimental group included 70 males, whose professional activity lied outside the extreme and emergency situations. Diagnostic complex included the following questionnaires: the formal and dynamic properties of individuality by V.M. Rusalov; temperament character by G. Eysenk; inventory of anxiousness by C.D. Spealberger; «The style of self-regulation» by V.I. Morosanova; aggression questionnaire by Buss - Perry, self-control questionnaire by Grasmic. It was found that the specialists of extreme profile were characterizes by higher rates of short-stopping behavior, psychomotor and communication tolerance and flexibility, psychomotor and intellectual speed, indexes of general activity and adaptability, extroversion, general level of self-regulation and the stages of self-regulation process, physical activity, physical assault , and lower rates of psychomotor, communicative and intellectual emotionality, state and personal anxiety, neuroticism, preferences for simple tasks and hostility. Based on the identified variable predictors associated with the length of service, 2 clusters were identified classifying the cases of high and low adaptability. The results of the analysis of significant differences in the selected clusters allowed determining significant adaptedness conditions. They are: higher indices of short-stopping behavior, psychomotor and communication tolerance, psychomotor, intellectual, communicative flexibility and physical activity speed. Less «adaptive» cluster was characterized by higher indices of psychomotor, intellectual, communicative emotionality, neuroticism, state and personal anxiety, and preferences of simple tasks. The predictive classification models of extreme profile specialists' adaptation were constructed. They included variable predictors: flexibility, communication tolerance, psychomotor, intellectual, communicative flexibility, psychomotor speed and total adaptability index.

Published: March 2019

The article provides the evaluation results of the body functional state of mining production workers associated with the extraction and processing of loparite ore. The complex influence of the work conditions on appearance of autonomic dysfunction in the regulation of heart rate variability (HRV) was revealed in workers employed in the ore mining and processing. This dysfunction manifests in the stress indices increasing, earlier exhaustion of the adaptive reserves in comparison to the experimental group, decrease of the total autonomic nerve system effect on heart rate and the increase of the sympathetic nerve system impact to the HRV regulation. High contribution of the very low-frequency component to the spectral range of HRV of the surveyed shows the hyper adaptive state of the mining production workers. The failure of adaptation and a high degree of vulnerability to the environmental factors are the next stage of the body state. It was shown that the functional state of the body of underground miners (in the group of persons under 45 years of age) differed from functional state of ground workers. Furthermore the systolic and diastolic pressure were higher in a group of persons over 45 years old associated with underground work and work with high personal responsibility for production than in the group of persons working in the ground conditions. The obtained results showed that certain values of the HRV in miners group aged

Published: March 2019

The paper presents the results of the tremor analysis carried out in two groups of women living in the North of Russia, aged 30 to 32 years old regularly engaged in physical training and not engaged in physical training. On the basis of methods for calculating the parameters of quasi-attractor in two-space dimension as a quantitative measure of real changes in neuromuscular system parameters of women with different fitness level, spaces of the quasi-attractors were used. In simplistic terms the indicator of quasi-attractor areas has already shown differences between trained and untrained individuals. It has been stated that the range of values of quasiattractor's squares in trained women varies from 0,02x10-6 to 0,96x10-6 (a.u.) and in women without physical training - 0,14x10-6 to 5,60x10-6 (a.u.). Statistical data processing has revealed differently directed changes of the studied parameters depending on the degree of women's physical training. The median values of the quasi-attractor squares were 0,82 (a.u.) in the group of women without physical training and 0,15 (a.u.) in trained women.

Published: March 2019

Intensification of oil and gas has led to socio-economic development of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area (YaNAO) - one of the most northern regions of Russian raw materials, which contributed to improving life standard of living here people, and the reduction of social well-being and quality of life (QOL) of indigenous people. Development of the YaNAO was followed by mass inflow of human resources of mainly fertile age that led to rapid growth of the children's and adolescent's population - labor potential of the region's strategic development. Purpose: to give an assessment of risks of health problems and health-related QOL of the adolescents living in the Yamal's territory. Objects: 58 adolescents - the indigenous Nenets and the 26 - rooted inhabitants. The assessment of risks of health problems was carried out by means of the automated system of a quantitative assessment of risks of the major pathology syndromes (MPS). The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core tool was used for the health-related QOL assessment. Mathematical-statistical data processing was carried out by means of Statistica 8. In the group of Nenets, proportion of individuals with low MPS exceeded the proportion of individuals with high and extremely high (53,5% against 31,0 and 15,5p = 0.014 and p=0,000 correspondingly). Nenets differed in lower levels of risks of arterial hypertension (0,12 and 0,34 in young men, p=0,004); coronary heart disease, functional violations of respiratory organs, neurologic violations, and boundary mental disorders (0,22 and 0,53 in young men, p=0,012; 0,48 and 0,79 in girls, p=0,027; 0,36 and 0,66 on the whole, p=0,002). The MPS levels at young men were lower, than at girls regardless of an ethnic origin: among Nenets- arterial hypertension (0,12 and 0,36, p=0,001), liver functional disease (0,14 and 0,37, p=0,021), boundary mental disorders (0,22 and 0,48, p=0,013), among rooted inhabitants- functional gastrointestinal disorders (0,19 and 0,49, p=0,021). The QOL of all examined adolescents was characterized by high indicators of physical and social functioning. In general indices of the health-related QOL were higher in Nenets adolescents, than in rooted inhabitants. Further research is necessary and the attention should be paid not only on subjective but also an objective assessment of health status to analyze their interactions.

Published: March 2019

From 1 January 2015, the first Russian population-based injury register has been routinely used for registration of all traumas requiring medical assistance in the municipality of Shenkursk, Arkhangelsk region. It was built up on the injury registration model that was used in Harstad, Norway. The aims of the injury registry are to monitor injury rates and develop evidence-based preventive measures at the municipal level. The source of information about injures is an injury registration form which includes sections on type, place, time, preceding circumstances, mechanisms of accident, mechanisms of injury, alcohol consumption and socio-demographic characteristics of the injured. Inclusion criteria of the injury register are the ICD-10 codes S00-T78. Data registration is performed using EpiInfo 7 platform. Introduction of the injury register allows to observe, forecast and minimize the harm caused by injuries on a population level as well as to increase knowledge about factors contributing to the burden of injuries Identifying removable and modifiable factors which act as parts of mechanisms of accidents and injuries allows development of targeted preventive measures to decrease the burden of injuries among the population of the Shenkursk district.

Published: March 2019

The aim of the was to study quantitative effects of chemical pollution of atmospheric air by gaseous, liquid, solid substances on the overall population mortality in the Republic of Bashkortostan using mathematical models with spatial lags. Methods. The data were obtained from the official statistics from the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan (table C 51 "Distribution of deceased by sex, age groups and causes of death"). The data from 54 municipalities and 21 towns of Bashkortostan from 2002 to 2015 were analysed. Spatial regression methods were applied. Moran and Geary coefficients were used to estimate the presence of spatial autocorrelation links; Spatial autoregressive (SAR) models were used to estimate the effect of emissions on mortality rates. Results. The best fit was provided by the SAR model, according to which, an increase in the number of emissions per 1 ton in a municipality is associated with an increase in the mortality for men by 2,33 cases per 1000. The corresponding data for the total population was 2,02 cases per 1000. However, according to the spatial lag (SDM model), no statistically significant effects on mortality was detected. Conclusion. Results of spatial modeling are in line with the findings on direct associations between gaseous and liquid emissions and total mortality and mortality among men in the same municipality. At the same time, we did not find the evidence indirect spatial influence on mortality.

The state of health research in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States has been called as drastic in a recent evaluation. Several efforts have been made to break isolation of Kazakhstan from international medical research, education and practice. We studied how researchers, health managers and practicing physicians perceive the current status of medical research in Kazakhstan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed at 3 research institutes, 3 research centers and 2 clinics in Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. Altogether, 207 (99 %) employees involved in research participated and were interviewed by the first author. Researchers, health managers and physicians comprised 63.8 %, 16.4 % and 19.8 % of the sample. Categorical data were analyzed using chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests. Results: Although 38 % of the participants had the highest research degrees, less than 1% of the sample had international publications. More than three thirds of researchers reported unsatisfactory transparency of financing research compared to health managers and physicians (P. 0.001). Considerable variability between the groups was observed in the perception of the agreement between the research conducted and health needs of the vulnerable groups (P. 0.001). Researchers were more likely to report unsatisfactory career opportunities in research than other studied groups (P. = 0.025). Conclusions: The perception of our responders of the current state of health research in Kazakhstan raise concerns about the quality of doctoral degrees without international publications, transparency of funding and agreement between the research conducted and real health needs in the country and existing conditions for disseminating and implementation of the results of health research in practice.

Authors: Aherne Bryan B. , Zhang Chrystal , Chen Won Sun , Newman David G.
Published: March 2019

INTRODUCTION: In the United States, the proportion of Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) fatal accidents remained unchanged despite an overall decreasing accident rate. Previous research showed night HEMS operations influenced fatal outcomes. Pilots with <6 yr of
HEMS domain task experience (low-DTE) had a higher likelihood of a night operational accident in conditions associated with adverse weather. This study sought to determine whether a difference existed between day and night fatal accident rates and identify influences contributing to night
fatal HEMS accidents. Any risk factors identified will be used for a risk analysis to inform future operational safety of the night visual flight rule (VFR) HEMS transport system.METHODS: Historical accident data and industry hours were obtained. Both pilot DTE groups (low and high)
and mission VFR and instrument flight rule (IFR) capability were identified using data from 32 night VFR operational fatal HEMS accidents. Accidents were stratified by loss of control and controlled flight into terrain, pilot DTE, and flight rule capability. The effectiveness of both DTE groups
and both flight rule capabilities were measured using system safety risk analysis techniques.RESULTS: Night fatal accident rates were statistically different from daytime. Low-DTE pilots and the VFR capability combination had the highest likelihood of night operational nonsurvivable
accident.CONCLUSION: Low-DTE pilots and the VFR capability were the least effective mission combination to avoid hazardous conditions at night and maintain spatial orientation, respectively. The analysis identified measures to reduce likelihood of night fatal operational accidents.Aherne

BACKGROUND: Handling cases of chest pain aboard commercial flights is challenging for crewmembers, onboard medical volunteers, and ground-based doctors providing remote advice. Obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG) in-flight could help in dictating the management of such cases.
The ability to diagnose or rule out ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) would have clinical and prognostic implications. The feasibility of obtaining good quality ECG tracings by flight attendants in flight is not known.METHODS: A series of 200 consecutive ECG tracings
transmitted to a ground-based medical support provider were independently reviewed by four observers who ranked the ECG tracings according to a quality score (QS) criteria, as well as trying to identify or rule-out cases of STEMI.RESULTS: ECG quality was considered good enough to
extract useful information in 170 of 200 tracings (85%). Seven cases of STEMI were identified. A STEMI was confidently ruled out in 104 cases. Additional abnormalities of variable clinical importance were also detected.DISCUSSION: ECGs are essential in the prehospital management
of chest pain cases. ECGs obtained in flight by airline flight attendants were mostly of diagnostic quality, allowing confirmation or ruling out of STEMI, as well as detecting arrhythmias of clinical significance in case management.Alves PM, Lindgren JA, Streitwieser DR, Anzola E, Ahmed

From "Sisters" to "Comadres": Translating and Transculturating Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters
Authors: Somacarrera Pilar
Published: March 2019

Since theNative Canadian playwright Tomson Highway imagines his plays in Cree beforetranslating them into English, his dramatic texts  are, in the words of  Gayatri Spivak, “a history of the languagein-and-as-translation. “ As he acknowledges, Highway’s English is permeatedwith the rhythm of the Cree language: “I am actually using English filteredthrough the mind, the tongue and the body of a person who is speaking inCree”  Highway’s text introduces Cree orOjibway words and phrases, providing English translations for them infootnotes. The other characteristic which makes Highway’s plays distinct istheir sexual content, as transmitted both in the spoken text and in the stagedirections. Highway explains in an article titled “Why Cree is the Sexiest ofAll Languages,” that talking about sex in English is a terrifying experience, whereasin Cree it is the funniest, most hysterical and most spectacular thing in theworld.” In addition, visceral and sexual language is an essential component ofthe play, This paper will explore the process of translation andtransculturation involved in the translation of Highway’s play The Rez Sisters, in the light of translationstudies theories and the notion of transculturation as coined by Fernándo Ortizand expanded by Norman Cheadle in his book CanadianCultural Exchanges.

Liminality and (Trans)Nationalism in the Rethinking of the African Canadian Subjectivity: Esi Edugyan’s The Second Life of Samuel Tyne
Authors: Cucarella-Ramón Vicent
Published: March 2019

Drawing on the concepts of liminality proposed by Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turner and Althusser's three ideological tools that nationalism prescribe to be undertaken by individuals who try to become an integral part of a national community, this paper reads Esi Edugyan’s debut novel, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne (2004), as an exploration of the role of literature within the debate about the different positions of black Canadian subjectivity and national adherence. George Elliott Clarke and Rinaldo Walcott polarized the African Canadian criticism by proposing two different theories in an attempt to shape up and (re)define the subjectivity of black Canadians. Clarke advocates to include African Canadian subjectivity in the national desire to belong to a uniform Canadian culture and aims to establish the African Canadian identity in Canada’s national soil. Conversely, Walcott stands up for the defense of transnationality as the best way to explore and grapple with African Canadian subjectivi- ty aiming to contest racism while fostering self-definition. Declining Clarke’s theory, Walcott warns African Canadians to “think contrapuntally within and against the nation” (22) as a means to counteract a Canadian nationality that has historically exclud- ed its black citizens. It is my argument that The Second Life of Samuel Tyne fully participates in this debate and aligns partially with Walcott’s liminal status for black Canadians. The diasporic nature that defines Samuel Tyne together with his impossibility for succeeding and recognizing himself as truly Canadian place Edugyan’s novel within the scope of Walcott’s critical theory and helps to reconsider and to overtly challenge the image of Canada as a compassionate and egalitarian nation-state as well as to reconsider the negotiation of space. The concept of liminality stands as a valuable critical lens to highlight the retrieval of a transcultural African Canadian subjectivity that shows the complex and multiple faces of black Canadians. However, by setting forth a liminal subjectivity that aims to problematize black Canadian subjectivity, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne expands, to a certain extent, Walcott’s understanding of the diasporic approach by rejecting nostalgia as a melancholic hindrance. In this way, it bridges memory and present to cultivate a new reading of the diasporic approach that confirms an acute and more precise reading of the black Canadian experience. In so doing, the novel discusses the waning of the sovereignty of the Canadian nation-state and opts for uprootedness, transnational politics and deterritorialization as the way to extol a self-(re)definition of the coeval African Canadian subjectivity.
“Canadian, Please”: The Intimate Space of YouTube Racism
Authors: Sugars Cynthia
Published: March 2019

“Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please.” This is the opening line of the 2009 “Canada Day” YouTube music video by Julia Bentley and Andrew Gunadie that went viral days after it was posted. The video is a kitsch anthem celebrating the benefits of Canadian identity, but there is a deeper message in it, and, indeed, in the troubling responses that it initiated, that makes it a ground-breaking text in Canadian cultural discourse about national identity and anti-racism. The YouTube site invited responses from viewers, and soon became flooded with racist slurs aimed at Gunadie’s Asian descent and his questionable right to claim to “be” Canadian. In short, the very public space of YouTube became a disturbing site of intimate violence. The backlash against the video was so extreme and unsettling that it led to a CBC news investigation, in which Gunadie described the racism the video inspired and his equally “inspired” YouTube fight against the racists. Fed up with being subjected to online violence, Gunadie retaliated by creating a number of ingenious videos. His responses did not resolve intimate and uncomfortable moments into invisibility. On the contrary, the discomfort of online racism prompted from him a self-consciously “uncomfortable” affective response. These cultural texts stand as a powerful testament to the mediating force of online exchanges as a forum in which debates about national and transnational identities are being waged.

Dynamic Impact Modeling as a Road Transport Crisis Management Support Tool
Authors: Rehak David , Radimsky Michal , Hromada Martin , Dvorak Zdenek
Published: March 2019

Crisis management must provide data to allow for real-time decision-making. Accurate data is especially needed to minimize the risk of critical infrastructure failure. Research into the possible impacts of critical infrastructure failure is a part of developing a functional and secure infrastructure for each nation state. Road transport is one such sector that has a significant impact on its functions. When this fails, there may be a cascading spread of impacts on the energy, health, and other sectors. In this regard, this paper focuses on the dynamic modeling of the impacts of critical road infrastructure failures. It proposes a dynamic modeling system based on a stochastic approach. Its essence is the macroscopic model-based comparative analysis of a road with a critical element and detour roads. The outputs of this system are planning documents that determine the impacts of functional parameter degradation on detour roads—not only applicable in decision-making concerning the selection of the optimal detour road, but also as a support mechanism in minimising possible risks. In this article we aim to expand the extent of knowledge in the Crisis management and critical infrastructure protection in the road transport sector fields.
