Fantasy, Mysticism, and Eroticism in Raja Alem’s Fatma
Authors: Zannoun K. Ghadir
Published: May 2020

This paper is a close reading of Raja Alem’s 2005 novel, Fatma: A Novel of Arabia. I argue that Alem depicts the erotic in ways similar to Audre Lorde’s definition – as a doorway to self-fulfillment and in honor of the “fullness” of the erotic’s depth of feelings. The Saudi Arabian writer employs the fantastic, which has been used by writers to express feminist politics, to give textual embodiment to the relationship between the erotic, self-actualization, and women’s empowerment, central to which is self-knowledge and self-discovery. Alem suggests that a deeper knowledge of the self can open women to unlimited possibilities of being and perception, including a closer relationship to the natural and the supernatural worlds. Alem thus presents a female mythology that creates an alternate reality and undermines the binaries of patriarchal thinking, such as the corporeal/transcendent, the human/nonhuman, man/woman, and nature/culture.
(Dis)-Intersecting Intersectionality in the Time of Queer Syrian-Refugee-ness in Lebanon
Authors: Allouche Sabiha
Published: May 2020

This paper heeds Jasbir Puar’s call to supplement an intersectional analysis with an exercise of assemblage when examining identity politics. It argues that asylum organizations’ unwillingness to account for the interplay between the receiving state (in this case Lebanon) and the lived reality of (Syrian) LGBT refugees results in a “one size fits all” narrative that forces the latter into a more visible and potentially death-instigating corporeality. The interplay between refugees and the receiving state is summed up in the elitist discourse of a “Syrian neo-invasion” that results in the revival of an “authentic Lebanese masculinity.” Whereas the Syrian refugee is vilified as “rapist” in a heterosexual context, they are emasculated as “necessarily bottom” in a same-sex one. This discourse is hegemonized through its emergence at the intersection of sect, political loyalty, and class. At the empirical level, this paper draws on narratives recollected during fieldwork in order to show the limits of an analysis that takes identity politics as given, as seen in asylum organization’s western-imbued “fixed” interpretations of what LGBT identities should “look like” and “act like.”
Queering the Occupation: Settler Colonial Sexualities in the Era of Homonationalism
Authors: Haddad Ralph
Published: May 2020

This paper focuses on the relationship between settler-colonialism, nation building, and the policing of bodies via the white settler-colonial gaze. Overviewing the impact of settler-colonialism on sexuality, I move into a comparative analysis of settler colonialism as it impacted sexualities during Apartheid-era South Africa and those of Palestine under the ongoing Israeli occupation. I discuss the othering of “indigeneity” as opposed to the “modern” configuration of the settlers’ sexualities that happened in what is now North America, and how it reconfigured gayness as whiteness, violently racializing, policing and re-socializing Indigenous. Using the comparative framework, I then transition to Palestine, where the Israeli occupation imposes violence upon, but also utilizes, queer Palestinian bodies to further its ongoing settler-colonial nation-building project through the coercive and imaginative labor of homonationlism and pinkwashing.
Institutional Migrations and Radical Survival: Beyond Organizational Splits
Authors: Gholama Gholama , Zakaria Zakaria , Amira Amira , Sama Sama , Mawn Mawn
Published: May 2020

This recorded conversation between Lebanese feminist activists living in Lebanon was held on the 18th of June of 2017 and lasted for three hours. This group of feminist activists came together in an attempt to historicize their personal and political frustrations. The scope of this conversation covers recent events in the LGBT and feminist movements in Lebanon. The discussion was prompted by the silencing and dismissal of debate around Beirut Pride in 2017; yet, it revisits queer and feminist contemporary history in Lebanon and thinks through gender and gay mainstreaming, NGOization, funding, accountability, and stagnant leaderships. In this sense, rather than indicating historical shifts of alliances and people across groups and organizations, institutional migration becomes a necessary structural process that radically resists the NGOization of movements and the cooptation of women and trans within both the LGBT and feminist circles.
Racializing Homophobia: Tracing Sexual Political Discourse within Europe’s “Refugee Crisis” in Berlin
Authors: Soulier Marlene
Published: May 2020

Discourses relating to gender and sexualities have long been a tool for the perpetuation of racialized “othering” and have contributed to the strengthening of national identities and boundaries as they reproduce binary constructions of “us” and “them.” As the German nation-state reinvents itself as multicultural, tolerant, and sexually liberated, these discourses serve to mark the racialized body as a site of backwardness, sexism, and homophobia, and thus justify its segregation and exclusion exemplified in the restrictive practices of housing, mobility restrictions, and deportation of asylum seekers and migrants. This paper aims to trace the unfolding of discourses in and between some dominant organizational structures in Berlin that advocate for LGBT refugees and asylum seekers. It argues that the claim for citizenship of some formerly excluded sexual others is contingent on the promotion of a very specific notion of sexual identity and participation in the orientalisation/ethnicisation of homophobia.
The Reluctant Queer
Authors: Allouche Sabiha
Published: May 2020

In “The Locations of Homophobia,” Rahul Rao (2014, 174-175) invites us to complicate our examination of homophobia by turning our analysis inwardly. Whilst I maintain the bearing of the sexed (read: homophobic) colonial legacies on the contemporary discourse surrounding sexuality, including homophobia, across much of the MENA region, I agree with Rao on the importance of turning our analytic gaze inwardly in order to account for the agency of “local actors” in sustaining homophobic narratives and practices. Three concrete location(s) of homophobia are identified in this paper: the role of the Lebanese ruling-class elite in the neo-liberalization (read: depoliticization through economization) of same-sex desire, the alien rhetoric of local LGBT activism, and the “fractal orientalism” (Moussawi 2013) that reproduces Beirut as an LGBT haven. I conceptualize the “reluctant queer” in relation to each in order to challenge mainstream global media’s depictions of Lebanon as exceptionally LGBT-friendly, particularly where LGBT activism is concerned.

Service climate and service behavior to customer satisfaction: A multilevel study of Muslim-friendly hotel
Authors: Yusof Noor Amalina Mat
Published: May 2020

Literature has emphasized on the importance of internal integration and external environment towards the quality of services. As Muslim-friendly hotels (MFH) are being a service organization, this research aims to integrate the organization, employee and customers who involved in the service encounters. This research purposely conducted to test the proposition that an employee’s service climate determines employee’s service behavior and consequently customer satisfaction. This cross-sectional multilevel study involved 25 MFH (n=25) with 5 employees and 5 customers for each organization, employees (n=125) and employees (n=125). The finding revealed the organizational service climate has a positive and significant impact on individual employee’s service behavior. In short, the employees at MFH acknowledge the conducive working environment which can motivate them in delivering quality service (= 0.77, SE = 0.09, p-value<0.001). The result shows that MFH has provided a motivational environment to support service delivery. However, it is insufficient to lead to customer satisfaction in relation to the inconsistent of the other hypotheses.

Published: May 2020

Muslim women have created a unique space for them in the economy by advocating halal entrepreneurship. In Muslim minority countries, Muslim women are struggling to gain acknowledgment from society and face multiple challenges, including limitations in performing halal business activities. Besides the gender gap that is prevalent globally, Muslim women often engage in business due to the lack of job opportunities. Women with limited knowledge about business are running their businesses based on their informal managerial experience and little understanding of financial literacy.Purpose of study: This paper identifies the critical decisions of women entrepreneurs in doing halal business and the significance of financial literacy for business performance.Methodology: Library research was used to critically review the literature on the behavioral factors influencing woman entrepreneurs in doing the halal business and the significance of financial literacy on business performance.Findings: The study found that the significant problems faced by Muslim women entrepreneurs were the lack of access to capital and finance, business management skills, business operation and government regulations and policies. The understanding of financial literacy among entrepreneurs has a positive impact on successful business performance.Keywords: Halal business, financial literacy, women entrepreneur

To the theory of semilinear equations in the plane
Authors: Gutlyanskii Vladimir , Nesmelova Olga , Ryazanov Vladimir
Published: May 2020

In two dimensions, we present a new approach to the study of the semilinear equations of the form \(\mathrm{div}[ A(z) \nabla u] = f(u)\), the diffusion term of which is the divergence uniform elliptic operator with measurable matrix functions \(A(z)\), whereas its reaction term \(f(u)\) is a continuous non-linear function. Assuming that \(f(t)/t\to 0\) as \(t\to\infty\), we establish a theorem on existence of weak \(C(\overline D)\cap W^{1,2}_{\rm loc}(D)\) solutions of the Dirichlet problem with arbitrary continuous boundary data in any bounded domains \(D\) without degenerate boundary components. As consequences, we give applications to some concrete model semilinear equations of mathematical physics, arising from modeling processes in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media. With a view to the further development of the theory of boundary-value problems for the semilinear equations, we prove a theorem on the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the Poisson equation in Jordan domains with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to the logarithmic capacity.

Pilsētu teksti kā autentiski materiāli kontekstualizētai latviešu valodas apguvei ārvalstu universitātēs
Authors: Pošeiko Solvita
Published: May 2020

Latvian as a foreign language has been taught in different parts of the world since the beginning of the 20th century. Currently, Latvian is taught in some 20 foreign universities in Europe, Asia and the US. Introducing photos of written texts seen in Latvian cities is one way of showing students the authentic use of Latvian in public communication and of drawing their attention to the principles of creating certain types of texts, including typical language tools and their functionality. The paper has two interrelated aims: 1) to theoretically discuss the usefulness of authentic materials in foreign language teaching by focusing on the involvement of Latvian city texts in the process of learning Latvian as a foreign language; 2) to provide practical advice on how to select city texts and which language topics (grammar, vocabulary, style) teachers may find useful and to illustrate these suggestions with examples of exercises. The article first analyses the term authentic texts and elaborates on the most common assumptions about authentic materials in language education. Then there is a brief description of existing research on the use of linguistic landscape approaches and data in language learning. Considering the theories discussed by the researchers on the one hand and the practical experience of educators on the other hand, it is shown further which types of texts can be useful in teaching/learning Latvian as a foreign language abroad and how to best utilize them in one’s teaching work. At the end there is a summary with conclusions. The article concludes that photos with written city texts from Latvia allow students abroad to: - get acquainted with Latvian cities (architecture, planning, history, social life of inhabitants). - see authentic Latvian written usage alongside information in other languages. - pay attention to the principles of text types and the typical linguistic tools notable within them. - to improve and strengthen vocabulary (especially that related to cities and urban life) and grammar (individual forms of nouns, verbs and adverbs, word combinations, simple syntactic constructions). The use of city texts in the teaching process is related to the study of Latvian culture and public life, promotes awareness of the language situation in Latvian public communication, and encourages development of linguistic, multilingual, and pragmatic competence and textual literacy.

Published: May 2020

The actuator element saturation for a long period of time can force high overshoot peaks in the physical system, in most cases, due to the integral action. Taking this effect into consideration, this work aims to present a case study considering this situation applied on a SMAR didactic level system, where an Anti-Windup Technique (AWT) with 5 distinct classic Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers were implemented. To validate its effectiveness, the results were always presented with the comparison of the use with and without AWT controlled responses. Also, the tests were carried out through implementations in MATLAB software, where the results showed a high necessity to use AWTs in these kind of systems. As for the controller’s tuning method efficiency, the integral of squared error index proved that the Cohen-Coon and Ziegler-Nichols controllers showed better results

Published: May 2020

This work has as main objective to propose the identification of a small scale non-linear system through the Neural Network AutoRegressive with eXternal input. The use of this network requires an adequate methodology for its configuration and, consequently, a good training set. Then, it is proposed that the main definitions of the network parameters be obtained through the analysis of nonintrusive performance indices. Additionally, using a database based on the system’s response, excited by the Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence signal. The methodology will be applied in two specific open-loop identification situations: numerical simulation of a fourth order polynomial system (Case 01), and an experimental system that controls a nonlinear water tank level (Case 02). The results of the identified models were able to represent the system dynamics with high fidelity, presenting an average identification error of less than 0:14 and 0:34% for Case 1 and 2, respectively. Also, it is observed that the learning and generalization evidence could represent the process intrinsic nonlinearities satisfactorily. Besides, it will be possible to find the potentiality and usefulness of the developed network in nonlinear system identification.
Didactique : une approche sociohistorique du concept
Authors: Lenoir Yves
Published: May 2020

Lʼarticle adopte une approche sociohistorique brièvement explicitée pour retracer lʼémergence du concept de didactique. Il rappelle dʼabord que le terme provient de la pensée grecque antique et quʼil a été porteur de significations distinctes, en fonction des contextes dans lesquels il était en usage. Après avoir évoqué sa mobilisation par Ratke et Comenius au XVIIe siècle, il retrace son retour en force dans la pensée éducative française à partir des années 1970 et avance une interprétation qui rejoint, croyons-nous, nombre de didacticiens. Enfin, lʼarticle avance quelques pistes interprétatives du concept dans dʼautres univers éducatifs et mentionne les fondements sociohistoriques qui ont conduit à ces différences de signification.

A novel and facile synthesis of iclaprim was reported. Started from Trimethoprim (TMP), the amino-protection and Friedel-Crafts acetylation with acetic anhydride were simultaneously completed in CH2Cl2 with SnCl4 as catalyst. The Knoevenagel condensation of 2,4-diamino-5-(2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine with cyclopropyl carboxaldehyde followed by the intramolecular Michael addition in the buffer system (pyrrolidine and acetic acid) installed the key framework (chromanone 13). The dehydration was catalyzed by H2SO4 so that the formation of 5-cyclopropyl-2,3-dimethoxy-4,5,6,6a,7,12-hexahydronaphtho[1,8-bc]pyrimido[5,4-f]azepin-9-amine, an impurity of iclaprim reported at the first time, could be minimized. In the end, iclaprim was obtained in a total yield of 21%.

Published: May 2020

This experiment utilizes the material characterization technique known as UV-Vis spectroscopy. The aim of this research is to study the UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy readout in order to investigate the effect of concentration on absorbance for gold solution and to determine the value of band gap for powder sample (TiO2). The types of TiO2 specimens can be characterized on a solid form of powder, thin film and/or in a liquid form. The preparation of each state of specimen are varies. In this current research, Liquid samples of Au nanoparticles dispersed in different concentrations of ethanol were characterized using UV-Vis technique. The absorbance versus concentration plot of the Au-ethanol samples were found to obey Beer’s law. When examining the solid state in a form of TiO2 powder, the sample need to be packed before running the experiment. To calculate the band gap of each matter from the reflectance data of UV-Vis, the graph of energy (eV) versus is plotted. The J-curve is identified quickly, extrapolating the tangent to intersect the x-axis to obtain the band gap value.

A steady-state, analytical model of energetic particle acceleration in radio-jet shear flows due to cosmic-ray viscosity is explored, including particle scattering both into and out of the shear flow acceleration region. This involves solving a mixed Dirichlet–Von Neumann boundary value problem at the edge of the jet. The spectrum of the accelerated particles is harder than the free-escape case from the edge of the jet. The flow velocity

is along the axis of jet (the z-axis).  
u
is independent of distance z along the jet axis, and u(r) is a monotonically decreasing function of cylindrical radius r from the jet axis. The scattering time

We discuss the implications of these results for the acceleration of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays in active galactic nucleus jet sources. Leaky box models of particle acceleration in shear flows, including synchrotron losses and particle escape, are used to describe the momentum spectrum of accelerated particles. The use of the relativistic telegrapher transport equation model is discussed.
Direct Measurement of the H i-halo Mass Relation through Stacking
Authors: Guo Hong , Jones Michael G. , Haynes Martha P. , Fu Jian
Published: May 2020

We present accurate measurements of the total H i mass in dark matter halos of different masses at z ∼ 0, by stacking the H i spectra of entire groups from the Arecibo Fast Legacy ALFA Survey. The halos are selected from the optical galaxy group catalog constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 Main Galaxy sample, with reliable measurements of halo mass and halo membership. We find that the H i-halo mass relation is not a simple monotonic function, as assumed in several theoretical models. In addition to the dependence of halo mass, the total H i gas mass shows a strong dependence on the halo richness, with larger H i masses in groups with more members at fixed halo masses. Moreover, halos with at least three member galaxies in the group catalog have a sharp decrease of the H i mass, potentially caused by the virial halo shock-heating and the active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The dominant contribution of the H i gas comes from the central galaxies for halos of

, while the satellite galaxies dominate over more massive halos. Our measurements are consistent with a three-phase formation scenario of the H i-rich galaxies. The smooth cold gas accretion is driving the H i mass growth in halos of

, with late-forming halos having more H i accreted. The virial halo shock-heating and AGN feedback will take effect to reduce the H i supply in halos of

. The H i mass in halos more massive than

generally grows by mergers, with the dependence on halo richness becoming much weaker.

Data is central in almost all scientific disciplines nowadays. Furthermore, intelligent systems have developed rapidly in recent years, so that in many disciplines the expectation is emerging that with the help of intelligent systems, significant challenges can be overcome and science can be done in completely new ways. In order for this to succeed, however, first, fundamental research in computer science is still required, and, second, generic tools must be developed on which specialized solutions can be built. In this paper, we introduce a recently started collaborative project funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation, a virtual manufactory for digitization in the sciences, the “Werkstatt”, which is being established at the Michael Stifel Center Jena (MSCJ) for data-driven and simulation science to address fundamental questions in computer science and applications. The Werkstatt focuses on three key areas, which include generic tools for machine learning, knowledge generation using machine learning processes, and semantic methods for the data life cycle, as well as the application of these topics in different disciplines. Core and pilot projects address the key aspects of the topics and form the basis for sustainable work in the Werkstatt.
Troubles dans l’identité masculine
Authors: Arènes Jacques , Frioux Dalibor , Sarthou-Lajus Nathalie
Published: May 2020

Les discours sur le malaise masculin se multiplient ainsi que la déploration devant l’effondrement des valeurs viriles dans la société. Quel crédit accorder à ces discours ? Les troubles de l’identité masculine sont-ils consécutifs à l’émancipation féminine et à une difficulté de plus en plus grande à trouver sa place dans une société où les rôles sont moins stéréotypés qu’auparavant ? Ou bien les hommes sont-ils également victimes de la domination masculine ? Un psychanalyste et un philosophe croisent leurs regards.
Le transhumanisme, une idée chrétienne devenue folle ?
Authors: Damour Franck
Published: May 2020

Depuis son apparition, il y a une trentaine d’années, le mouvement transhumaniste a gagné en réputation et en influence. Au fur et à mesure de sa diffusion, il s’est heurté à des réactions critiques, venant notamment des milieux chrétiens. Pourquoi une telle réaction, qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle envers les théories du genre, alors que d’autres courants de pensée contemporains ne suscitent que peu d’émoi ? Est-ce parce qu’il concerne des frontières de l’humain pour lesquelles les chrétiens manifestent une forte sensibilité ?
Réinsertion professionnelle et santé mentale
Authors: Duarte Antoine , Dejours Roxane
Published: May 2020

À partir d’un cas clinique, l’article vise à interroger les rapports entre santé mentale et réinsertion professionnelle à l’aune des savoirs théoriques et pratiques en psychodynamique du travail. Il montre ainsi que la question de la réinsertion professionnelle doit nécessairement, pour être comprise, en passer par l’analyse de la rencontre entre le sujet et les contraintes de travail auxquelles il est confronté. Une place centrale doit notamment être conférée aux effets de l’organisation gestionnaire du travail sur la santé psychique des travailleurs.
Facilitators and Barriers to the Development of Health Literacy Capacities Over Time for Self-Management
Authors: McKenna Verna B. , Sixsmith Jane , Barry Margaret
Published: May 2020

Background:

Health literacy is a dynamic construct that is content and context specific. An understanding of the facilitators and barriers involved in the development of health literacy over time can provide important insights for the health care providers (HCP) in supporting patients with chronic illness.

Objective:

The study was conducted to expand an understanding of how health literacy development can be supported through exploration of the main facilitators and barriers in the process.

Methods:

This study used a longitudinal qualitative study design involving repeat interviews at three separate time points over a 12-month period. A purposive sample of 26 participants attending a structured cardiovascular disease risk-reduction program participated in the study, 17 of whom completed all three interviews. The European Health Literacy Survey measure was used to determine health literacy levels at the beginning and end of the 12-month period. Employing qualitative thematic analysis and a longitudinal-specific question framework, a trajectory approach was applied to explore individual cases longitudinally.

Key Results:

Facilitators and barriers to health literacy capacity development were identified. Participants demonstrated increased perceptions of having control and being empowered over time. However, this was also found to be affected by external life events. Study participants were also found to be embedding health knowledge, motivation, and behaviors over time within the everyday contexts of their lives. The relationship with the HCP permeated all aspects of health literacy capacity development, including aspects of treatment decision-making. Participants identified the need for psychological supports and the increased importance of looking after their mental health.

Conclusions:

Positive developments in health literacy capacities are important for the self-management of illness. Longitudinal findings underscore the importance of the HCP in supporting the development of health literacy capacities over time. These findings lend support to the need to integrate health literacy into medical and other HCP curricula to raise awareness of the concept of health literacy.

Plain Language Summary:

Using a longitudinal qualitative study design, this study proposes that health literacy capacities develop over time and that the health care provider (HCP) plays a central role in this process. Findings from this study support the need to embed health literacy training into medical and other applied HCP curricula to raise awareness of the concept of health literacy.
