Blēdis, blēdīgs, blēdnieks un liekulis latviešu valodas senajos tekstos: nozīmes pārmaiņa?
Authors:   Latvijas Universitāte, Trumpa Anta
Published: December 2020

Rakstā, analizējot vārdu blēdis, blēdīgs, blēdnieks un liekulis minējumus 17. gadsimta latviešu tekstos un salīdzinot tos ar mūsdienu lietojumu, mēģināts noteikt, vai tas ir atšķirīgs, proti, vai ir notikusi nozīmes pārmaiņa, un kādi varētu būt šāda atšķirīga lietojuma iemesli. Vārdu blēdis, blēdīgs un blēdnieks lietojums 17. gadsimtā salīdzinājumā ar mūsdienām ir bijis plašāks un ar vairāk negatīvu konotāciju. Vārdam blēdis blakus mūsdienās zināmajai nozīmei ‘krāpnieks, viltnieks’ izplatītāka nozīme ir bijusi mūsdienās vairs nelietotā ‘nelietis, ļaundaris’. Arī vārdam blēdīgs dominējušas nozīmēm ‘ļauns, nelietīgs’ un ‘viltīgs’, tomēr tulkojumos nereti vārds lietots plašāk, piemēram, ar nozīmēm ‘greizs’, ‘nodevīgs’, ‘negodīgs’, šķiet, tulkotājiem neatrodot precīzāku apzīmējumu Bībeles oriģinālajā tekstā nosauktajām negatīvajām īpašībām. Lai arī 17. gadsimta vārdnīcās vārdi blēdis un blēdnieks ir rādīti kā sinonīmi, tomēr reliģiskajos tekstos atvasinājumam ir redzama nozīmes diferenciācija, proti, tā lietojums ir bijis plašāks – mūsdienu literārajā valodā vairs tikpat kā nelietotais vārds blēdnieks 17. gadsimtā ir bijis vispārināts nelieša apzīmējums, aptverot virkni negatīvu īpašību: ‘krāpnieks’, ‘bezdievis’, ‘bezgodis’, ‘ļaunais’, ‘lišķis’, ‘liekulis’ u. c.; šķiet, arī vārds blēdnieks nereti lietots, neatrodot precīzāku apzīmējumu Bībeles oriģinālajā tekstā lietotajiem jēdzieniem. 17. gadsimta latviešu tekstos visizplatītākā vārda blēdnieks nozīme ‘liekulis’ tikusi lietota tikai šajā gadsimtā un galvenokārt Bībeles tulkojumā – šādu lietojumu neapstiprina ne agrākie, ne arī vēlākie leksikogrāfiskie avoti, tādēļ to varētu uzskatīt par specifisku tā laika Bībeles tekstu tulkojumiem raksturīgu, iespējams, tulkotāju ieviestu nozīmi. Vārdu liekulis, lai izvairītos no neatbilstošas vārda blēdnieks lietošanas, kā mazpazīstamu vārdu ieteicis un popularizējis vai, iespējams, pat kā jaunvārdu ieviesis E. Gliks.
Anna Irbe un misijas darbs Karunagarapuri
Authors: Ēce Kristīna
Published: December 2020

This year, we celebrate the 130th anniversary of the birth of Latvian missionary Anna Irbe (1890–1973). She was an extraordinary woman and one of the first missionaries that went from Latvia into the mission field in Southern India. This paper examines her approach to missionary work, which was very innovative at the time and quite successful. It also discusses Irbe’s motives and philosophy of missionary service. Irbe very strongly stood against the theology of mission of the time, which held that Western missionaries were the ones bringing the culture to the poor heathens. She very acutely recognized that many of the Westerners, including some missionaries, held a supremacy attitude. She was willing to learn – she acquired the Tamil language, sought to understand the culture, differences in the caste system, and the attitudes of fellow missionaries. From her observations, she made a decision to do everything with an Indian style so that her work would not be considered foreign by local beneficiaries of the mission, which allowed her to be very successful in her ministry. Soon after the start of her ministry, Irbe developed a “Latvian village in India” called Karunagarapuri, which is located in the Coimbatore area, Tamil Nadu state. The name of the ­village means “The village of the most merciful God.” Irbe also recognized that the Gospel was always connected with culture, and therefore she was very open to discover and learn new things about Indian culture by visiting various temples and museums and meeting people of different castes. She was very open to ecumenism and was ready to use any opportunity to see where signs of God’s mercy could be noticed. During her ministry, she tried to fully identify with the local people, which was not the most common attitude among missionaries of that time. Overall, Irbe’s mission service and sacrifice brought plentiful fruit and it could be said that in her attitude and love towards the people of India, she was an extraordinary woman ahead of her time

Published: December 2020

As características superficiais de ligas Ti-6Al-4V são essenciais no estabelecimento da relação desse material com tecidos ósseos, quando utilizados como biomaterial. Nesse contexto a usinagem por descargas elétricas (EDM) se apresenta como técnica promissora de processamento, na medida que tende a promover alterações metalúrgicas na superfície das peças de trabalho. O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu na usinagem de liga Ti-6Al-4V por meio de EDM, utilizando fluido dielétrico composto por solução à base de ácido fosfórico e ácido fluorídrico. A caracterização das superfícies foi realizada através de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS) e ensaio de ângulo de contato. Dentre os resultados obtidos temos que análises de MEV e EDS revelaram após a usinagem presença de flúor, fósforo e oxigênio na superfície da liga, evidenciando enriquecimento superficial com os elementos presentes no fluido dielétrico. Além da superfície, esses elementos foram identificados em parte da secção transversal, indicando ocorrência de implantação iônica. A rugosidade final foi superior nas amostras usinadas com o eletrodo ferramenta na polaridade negativa, em comparação as amostras usinadas com o eletrodo apresentando polaridade positiva, ambas apresentaram valores superiores de rugosidade em relação ao metal base. Os resultados do ensaio de ângulo de contato indicaram diminuição dos ângulos nas amostras usinadas, sugerindo potencial favorecimento da bioadesão após a usinagem por EDM, o que pode indicar benefício das propriedades de osseointegração do material.
“The Village of Stepanchikovo and its inhabitants”and “The Raid on Barsukovka”: parody-satirical modein the image of the estate by F.M. Dostoevsky and M.A. Kuzmin
Authors:   Altai State University, Safronova Elena Yu.
Published: December 2020

The article explores the dynamics of comic depiction of the “estate topos” in Russian literature since the mid-XIX century to early XX century. The article is based on the novel “The Village of Stepanchikovo and its inhabitants. From the notes of the unknown” (1859) by F.M. Dostoevsky and the short story “The Raid on Barsukovka” (1914) by M.A. Kuzmin. It is shown that already in the time of Dostoevsky’s mature creativity in Russian literature there were recognizable stamps of the so-called “estate story”, which the author of “Village Stepanchikovo” parodies in a satirical way. In the Silver age, when Kuzmin created his story, the passeistic ideal of the Golden age of the Russian “estate culture” had been already formed with its sublime aestheticized perfection, which was considered by the author of the beginning of the XX century in a humorous way. Thus, the criticism of the extremes and distortions of the “estate culture” in Dostoevsky’s novel was of a more serious and radical, socio-psychological nature in comparison with its denial by a number of writers of the turn of the XIX– XX centuries from the point of view of “pan-aestheticism” of the Silver age.

Published: December 2020

Este trabalho investiga o conteúdo iônico dos 28,73 m superiores do testemunho BR-IC-2 (88°01'21,3"S; 82°04'21,7"W), coletado durante a travessia antártica chileno-brasileira no verão austral de 2004/05. As concentrações dos íons majoritários Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-, NO3- e SO42- e do ácido orgânico H3CSO3- (metanosulfonato - MS-) foram determinadas por cromatografia iônica. A datação, baseada na correlação entre as concentrações de Na+ e nssSO42- (sulfato não proveniente de sal marinho), na razão isotópica δD e na identificação de sinais de erupções vulcânicas (Pinatubo / Cerro Hudson em 1993, Agung em 1965 e possivelmente Bristol Island em 1936) constatou uma idade de 85 anos (período 1918–2003) para o testemunho, com precisão de ± 3 anos. A partir da datação foi possível estabelecer a precipitação anual média nesse sítio: 0,15 m eq H2O. Constatou-se uma contribuição de aerossóis de sais marinhos pouco expressiva e uma grande contribuição crustal e biogênica, indicada pelas concentrações de nssCa2+ e nssSO42, respectivamente. O alto valor da razão Cl-/Na+ (4,96) indica que outros fatores, além da contribuição de sal marinho, contribuem para as concentrações desses íons, como a entrada ou formação de HCl e a menor depleção do Cl-. As concentrações de K+ e Mg2+, apesar de apresentarem correlação fraca com os outros íons, são de origem marinha. O MS- mostra valores pouco expressivos para a região e o NO3- não tem correlação com os outros íons, devido à complexidade das fontes, já que este íon se apresenta como um aerossol secundário.

Published: December 2020

Objective: To further
evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Control-IQ closed loop control (CLC)
system in children with type 1 diabetes.

Research Design and Methods: Following
a 16-week randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing CLC with sensor augmented pump (SAP)
therapy in 101 children age 6 to 13 years old with type 1 diabetes, 22 participants in the SAP group initiated use of the CLC system
(referred to as SAP-CLC cohort), and 78 participants in the CLC group continued
use of CLC (CLC-CLC cohort) for 12 weeks.

Results: In the SAP-CLC cohort, mean percentage of time in range 70-180
mg/dL (TIR) increased from 55±13% using SAP during the RCT to 65±10% using CLC (P<0.001),
with 36% of the cohort achieving TIR >70% plus time <54 mg/dL <1%
compared with 14% when using
SAP (P=0.03). Substantial
improvement in TIR was seen after the first day of CLC. Time <70
mg/dL decreased from 1.80% to 1.34% (P<0.001). In the CLC-CLC cohort, mean TIR
increased from 53±17% pre-randomization to 67±10% during the RCT and remained reasonably
stable at 66±10% through the 12-weeks post-RCT. There were no episodes of
diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia in either cohort.

Conclusions:  This further evaluation of the Control-IQ CLC
system supports the findings of the preceding RCT that use of a closed-loop
system can safely improve glycemic control in children 6 to 13 years old with
type 1 diabetes from the first day of use and demonstrates that these
improvements can be sustained through 28 weeks of use.
Enhanced heating by microdroplet lens in nanoparticle electrospray laser deposition
Authors: Li Tianyi , Kumar Ranganathan , Kar Aravinda
Published: December 2020

In this paper, an additive manufacturing process has been used to deposit nanoparticles on a substrate. In this innovative technique called the nano-electrospray laser deposition process, droplets of various nanosuspensions are dispensed onto a silicon substrate where subwavelength structures and bouncing droplets have been observed. An analytical model is presented for determining the temperature distribution in the substrate by considering the microdroplet as a ball lens. This lens continuously changes the focus of the laser beam as the droplet travels toward the substrate. The laser is either defocused or focused on the substrate forming locally decreased or enhanced heating near the center of the laser beam depending on the distance of the droplet from the substrate. It is found that the enhancement in heating differs for the nanosuspensions since their optical properties are different. The subwavelength structures determined from the post-pulse temperature qualitatively match with the experimental results. The steady end-period temperature is also compared with the experimentally observed temperature for bouncing droplets and the temperatures are in good agreement.

Authors: Abdelkareem Alwaely Suad , Yousef Jarrah Hani ,   Al Ain University, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Published: December 2020

This study aims to identify the occupational burnout and its relation to teaching performance among Al Ain University (AAU) academic staff. The sample of the study consisted of 60 male and female teachers of Al Ain University First Directorate of Education. The researchers designed two tools for the study, represented in occupational burnout questionnaire for teachers and teaching performance questionnaire. The results show that teachers in the education college in AAU have a moderate level of occupational burnout. There are differences in the occupational burnout level for the favor of females, and differences in teaching experience for the favor of 10 years and more. The researchers ascribe this result to increased workloads and stress that female teachers face. Female teachers are more exposed to occupational burnout than male teachers because female teachers also face loads in connection with household and family concerns. There is as well an inverse relationship with statistical differences between occupational burnout level for teachers and their performance level. The study results in many recommendations and suggestions.

The problem raised in the study is also due to the lack of a common conceptual framework explaining the conditionality of foreign students’ realization by subjective characteristics. The purpose of the paper is to present and analyze the results of an empirical study of self-attitude indicators as subject predictors of students’ self-realization in a foreign cultural environment. The study was conducted in 2019-20 among students of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia getting undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Humanities. 412 respondents aged 18-25 took part in the survey. The authors used “Multidimensional questionnaire of self-identity” method by S. I. Kudinov; “Test - questionnaire of self-attitude” method by V. V. Stolin, S. R. Panteleev; the self-assessment diagnostic technique by Dembo-Rubinstein in A. M. Prikhozhan’s modification; “Individual preferences of self-expression sphere” questionnaire by S. S. Kudinov; methods of mathematical and statistical analysis (descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, K. Pearson’s correlation analysis, factor analysis, the program of standard statistical package “Statistica-7.0”. In the course of an empirical study of students in a multinational university it was found that the respondents’ self-realization is carried out mainly in the course of educational activities. As a result of cluster analysis, three groups of respondents with dominant indicators of self-attitude have been identified, which were conventionally designated as positive-stable, negative-rigid and socially dependent type of self-attitude. It is determined that respondents with a positive-stable type of self-attitude demonstrate most successful self-fulfillment due to the expression of such personal qualities as self-acceptance, self-confidence, faith in their possibilities and abilities, self-management. At the same time, the greatest difficulties in self-realization are experienced by students with a socially dependent type of self-attitude, due to low self-esteem, external self-regulation and constant expectation that others would evaluate their activities, actions and reactions.

The academic achievement of students can decrease if they fail to use mathematics study strategies well. This situation may lead to negative opinions and attitudes among students towards mathematics. In this study, it was aimed to examine the mathematics study strategies of students enrolled at secondary schools in terms of academic achievement and multiple variables. Relational survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used to obtain the data. The universe of the study consists of a total of 9,072 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades of secondary schools under the Secondary Education Office of the Ministry of National Education and Culture of Northern Cyprus during the 2019-2020 academic year. In the study, the simple random sampling method was used to include 1,012 students. In order to collect the research data, the mathematics study strategies of secondary school students were used; on the other hand, mathematics grades were employed to assess their academic achievement. As a result of the research, when the mathematics study strategies of secondary school students are examined, it is seen that their mathematics study strategies are at the medium level. In this study, a comparison of mathematics study strategies in terms of gender showed that the average score of female students for mathematics study strategies was higher compared to the males. It was also seen that students’ mathematics study strategy scores were similar regardless of whether they were attending extra-school study centres or preparatory schools, and students’ mathematics study strategies scores were similar regardless of whether they received private tutoring. Regardless of the grade levels of the students, we can also claim that their mathematics study strategies are at the medium level. Generally, it has been observed that secondary school students with high academic achievement use their mathematics study skills better than students with low academic achievement.

Published: December 2020

The manuscript presented here reports the theoretical aspects of the concepts of reflexive competence and reflexivity, which is considered, in learning activities through a prism of metacognitive monitoring of HEI students. An essence of metacognitive monitoring and reflexive competence has been theoretically studied. The role of reflexive competence and its components in the process of metacognitive monitoring of the educational activities of students of HEIs has been described. Reflexive competence at the metacognitive level is viewed as a system of formed reflexive abilities, which ensures high productivity of the intellectual activity of the subject by activating the metacognitive resources that are necessary and organizing reflexive actions. The results of empirical research with the use of questionnaire “Reflexive skills (cognitive and metacognitive level scales) (O. Savchenko), Methodology “Reflexive strategies of task solution” (O. Savchenko and M. Makiienko), Metacogntive Awareness Inventory - MAI (G. Scraw and R. Dennison) and “Methodology of Self-Evaluation of Metacognitive Knowledge and Metacognitive Activeness” (M. Kashapov & Y. Skvortsova), and correlation analysis with the use of ANOVA analysis of variance and Spearmen’s rank correlation coefficient, have proved that student’s overconfidence can cause mistakes in the evaluation of the results of the work. Senior students have better indicators of reflexive skills at the metacognitive level and more sophisticated reflexive problem-solving strategies. Thus, the results indicate that senior students have a higher level of reflexive skills at the metacognitive and cognitive levels and a higher level of reflexive problem-solving strategies than the first- and second-year students.

Studies of the Stress State of the Coal Pillar between the Treatment andPreparatory Workings by the Methods of Deformable Body Mechanics
Authors:   Federal Research Centre of Coal and Coal Chemistry of SO RAN, Cherdantsev N.V.
Published: December 2020

To ensure safe conditions for mining operations and increase labor productivity, a reliable assessment of the stress state of the coal-rock mass is required. The model is presented concerning the geomechanical state of the massif hosting the coal seam, treatment, and preparatory workings. The model is developed based on the fundamental methods of solid mechanics and ensures a computational experiment and the reliability of the results. Stress distribution in the coal-rock mass in the vicinity of the in-seam workings was calculated in two stages. First, the stress field in the edge zones of the coal seam and in the collapsed rocks was determined by the methods of mechanics of the flowing medium. Distribution of stresses in the extremely stressed zones of the seam and the layer of collapsed rocks behind the working excavation was found by the method of characteristics by solving differential equations of the hyperbolic type. They are obtained based on the of the joint solution of the equilibrium equations, general and special Coulomb — Mohr criteria of the transition of the seam and the collapsed layer, as well as their contacts with the lateral rocks to the limiting state. Then, by replacing extremely stressed zones of the coal seam and the layer of the collapsed rocks with stresses acting at the contacts with the surrounding massif, the problem is reduced to the integral equation of the second external boundary value problem of the theory of elasticity. It is solved by the method of boundary integral equations. Insignificant influence of changes in the angle of internal friction of the collapsed rocks on the parameters of the seam bearing pressure in the vicinity of the treatment and development workings is shown. However, it significantly effects on the bearing pressure in the extremely stressed zone of the collapsed rocks layer.

A significant role in ensuring industrial safety in terms of protecting the interests of the employees personality belongs to the occupational safety, which is directly related to the system of preserving the life and health of the employees in the course of the work activities. Occupational morbidity associated with the effect of physical overload and overstrain of individual organs and systems occupies the second rank position in the structure of occupational pathology depending on the harmful production factor. In this regard, the current and promising direction is the development of industrial exoskeleton technologies that can protect the musculoskeletal system of an employee from excessive physical activity. At the same time, the problem that creates significant restrictions on the introduction of industrial exoskeletons in industries, both in Russia and in other countries, is the lack of an appropriate regulatory-technical base. Using the example of the activity of F48 Committee «Exoskeletons and exosuits» of ASTM, the results of the work of foreign experts in the field of standardization are presented, and the main problematic issues are highlighted. Approaches to this problem in the Russian Federation are shown, where industrial exoskeletons can represent a promising type of personal protective equipment for the musculoskeletal system, the use of which is aimed at reducing the negative influence of a harmful production factor — the severity of the labor process. It is established that when developing the regulatory-technical base regulating testing and operation of industrial exoskeletons, it is necessary to combine the efforts of specialists in the technical and biomedical profile, developers, potential consumers and representatives of the scientific and research organizations, while focusing on existing domestic developments, as well as taking into account foreign experience.

The design of a new type of mine ventilation stopping designed for the configuration of a mine workings driven by Ural-20R combine, which is widely used in the potash mines of the Verkhnekamsk potash-magnesium salt deposit is described in the article. The materials from which the prototype of the mine ventilation stopping was made, in terms of their characteristics, corresponded to the requirements established as a result of mathematical and computer modeling. The stopping bearing frame made of AD31T1 duralumin alloy is able to withstand temperatures of 470–510 °С. The fire-prevention cloth for the prototype is made of BT-11 basalt fabric, which is used at temperatures from –250 to 650 °С. Methodology was developed for testing a mine ventilation stopping in the mining section of a potash mine, which simulates a change in the air flow pressure and its speed due to the action of natural draft that occurs during fire in a mine. The article describes the results of tests of a prototype mine ventilation stopping in the operating mine BKPRU-2 (PAO Uralkali), which confirmed the following theoretical assumptions. The developed mine ventilation stopping allows to reliably isolate the mine working area from the passage of air mass and flue gases, i.e., either isolate the fire source from fresh air entering it, or protect the working area from the penetration of flue gases into it. At the same time, the construction of the shaft ventilation stopping does not require a compressor or other device for pumping air that requires an electric power source, since the air hose will be inflated with a compressed air balloon. These factors will allow the construction of a mine ventilation stopping in a short period of time (not more than 20 min.) by the forces and means of miners before the arrival of paramilitary mine rescue units.

The transcostal closure technique of intercostal thoracotomy closure appears to be associated with less pain in the first 24 hours and could be an alternative to the standard circumcostal technique. The goal of this study was to compare the ex vivo biomechanical properties of three suture techniques for intercostal thoracotomy closure. Samples of porcine ribs were used for the research. A 10 cm incision was made in the intercostal space in each sample. The techniques compared were: simple circumcostal interrupted suturing, continuous circumcostal suturing, and interrupted transcostal suturing. During the testing in the machine, suture rupture or rib cracking occurred. If rib cracking occurred first, the testing was continued until the suture broke as well. In the first group, rib fracture occurrence was 60% and suture rupture was 40%. In the second group, rib fracture occurrence was 55%, while 45% of the samples failed by suture rupture. In the third group, rib fracture occurrence was 70%, while suture rupture was 30%. These data did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Continuous circumcostal suturing took the least amount of time, and the most time-consuming technique was interrupted transcostal suturing. Simple circumcostal suturing used most material, and the least amount of material was used with continuous circumcostal suturing. The conclusion of this paper is that the continuous pattern suture has the same mechanical strength as the other two suture patterns, but it consumes the least time and material. Therefore, from a mechanical standpoint, we advise the use of continuous circumcostal suture for intercostal thoracotomy closure.

Endometritis is one of the reproductive diseases that can cause disturbances of postpartum uterine health in cattle. Therefore, identification of resistant genotypes to endometritis is essential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism in the interleukin-8 receptor-α (CXCR1) gene and the possibility of endometritis in Holstein dairy cows. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from multiparous dairy cows with a history of clinical endometritis (n = 30), and normal, healthy cows as the control group (n = 10). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was isolated from a blood sample. To determine genotype, the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique (PCR-RFLP) was used. The results indicated the presence of a different proportion of polymorphisms (G > C) in the CXCR1 gene in cows with clinical endometritis, compared to the control group. Statistical analyses showed that there is a significant correlation between the incidence of the disease and the CXCR1 genotype in nucleotide position 956. The incidence rate of clinical endometritis was associated with the CXCR1.956 genotype; cows with genotype GC had a higher incidence of clinical endometritis compared with cows with the GG genotype. Overall, the results showed that CXCR1 polymorphism could be a useful marker for identification of resistant genotypes to endometritis in Holstein dairy cows.
Expanding the Meaning of the Term “Document” as a Possible Factor of Reconsideration of the Objects of Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, and Informetrics. 2. Old Definitions of the Objects of “Metrices” in the Context of the New Definition of the Term “Document”

Introduction. In the first part of the article, an attempt was made to trace some of the evolution of the concept of a “document”, which is now understood as any material object that can be used to obtain the information necessary for a person. In the second part, assuming that such an interpretation of the concept of a “document” is fruitful for possible reconsideration of viewpoints on the objects of bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics, a number of definitions of the objects of these three “metrices” have been examined with a speculative “inlining” the new meaning of the term “document” to the definitions of objects.

Materials and methods. Comparative analysis of the viewpoints of the objects of bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics that were expressed in some examples of definitions of these scientific fields; speculative “inlining” the new meaning of the term “document” in them; consideration the meanings of the objects of “metrices” altered as a result of the mentioned “inlining”.

Results. It is shown how noticeably the understanding of the objects of bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics can be revised as the result of the use of the updated “broad” interpretation of the concept of a “document” and how much the interpretations of the objects of bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics can be even closer in their meanings than previously was recognized.

Discussion and conclusion. Such a comparative analysis of the objects of the “metrices” might be helpful for identifying both similarities and differences among bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics. This is important, since the awareness of them is an obvious starting point for the mutual enrichment of “metrices” with knowledge and concepts. A more complete and detailed analysis of representations of the objects of the “metrices” in comparison with the updated “broad” interpretation of the concept of the “document”, as well as a comparison of the methodological components of “metrices” is the subject of further research.
A framework for re thinking the pedagogy of studio-based design classrooms
Authors: Sinfield David , Cochrane Thomas
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the application of a design-based research (DBR) methodology to inform the re-design of pedagogical strategies for studio-based classrooms within undergraduate higher education programmes. The goal is to establish a transferable model that is student-centred around authentic educational and professional learning environment as described as Dewey for the digital age. The paper outlines the initial analysis and exploration stage of a DBR methodology that leads to the development of a proposed ecology of resources designed to stimulate rhizomatic pedagogical environments intended to support collaborative student teams rather than the traditional classroom structure. The main aim of this project is to look at alternative models to the studio or classroom environment that can enhance and improve the more traditional teacher-centric environments of the classroom through focusing upon what the student does and their graduate profiles. These ‘ontological pedagogies’ will guide the student through the educational process but also provide them with the necessary skill set to enter into the professional design based working environment once they have graduated.

Transgresión poética en tiempos de estética posmoderna: La propuesta materialista histórica en Troppo mare, de Javier Egea
Authors: Candón Ríos Fernando
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo realiza una aproximación a Troppo mare (1984), de Javier Egea, a través del análisis estético e ideológico del poema como objeto verbal estético. La importancia del contexto histórico y del propio contenido textual se encuentran entrelazados debido a que Egea escribe dicha obra en 1980 como alegato poético al materialismo histórico, pero no se publica hasta 1984, en pleno auge de la posmodernidad en España. Por tanto, el poema, de carácter marxista, se encuentra en el momento de su publicación con un problema de recepción debido a la rápida transformación social y política que se vive durante los años de la Transición española.
RENCANA SABUK HIJAU TIMUR KOTABARU KEBAYORAN: KEBIJAKAN SETENGAH HATI? STUDI TENTANG TRANSFORMASI KAWASAN
Authors: Claudio Glen , Fahmi Erwin
Published: December 2020

Kebayoran new city was the first satellite city planned on the outskirts of post-world war II Jakarta. By applying the garden city concept, Kebayoran new city was planned to have green belt elements in the west and east to limit its growth. Along with the rapid development of the main axis of the City of Jakarta (Jl. Thamrin - Jl. Sudirman) after the transfer of sovereignty (1949) and the expansion of the administrative boundaries of the City of Jakarta, the newcity of Kebayoran has undergone a transformation and changes / adjustments to plans. One of the consequences, Kebayoran new city is no longer a satellite city as originally planned. The idea of a green belt in the eastern part also did not materialize as it should. This study aims to identify the enforcing and enabling factors for not realizing the idea of the eastern green belt of Kebayoran new city. The method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research findings indicate that the enforcing factor for this failure is mainly government (central and regional) development policies after the transfer of sovereignty. Enabling factors are the fact that some parts of the area have not been acquired, and local government policies that allow or develop parts of the area for other functions. By knowing the enforcing and enabling factors above, this research is expected to be a lesson for planners and policy makers for the development of new cities in the future. Keywords: government policies; green belt; Kebayoran Baru; urban transformation ABSTRAKKota baru Kebayoran merupakan kota satelit pertama yang direncanakan di pinggiran Jakarta pasca kemerdekaan. Dengan menerapkan konsep garden city, kota baru Kebayoran direncanakan memiliki elemen sabuk hijau di bagian Barat dan Timur untuk membatasi pertumbuhannya. Seiring dengan perkembangan pesat poros utama Kota Jakarta  (Jl. Thamrin – Jl. Sudirman) pasca penyerahan kedaulatan (1949) dan meluasnya batas administratif Kota Jakarta, kota baru Kebayoran mengalami transformasi dan perubahan/penyesuaian rencana. Salah satu akibatnya, kota baru Kebayoran tidak lagi menjadi kota satelit seperti rencana awal. Gagasan sabuk hijau pada bagian Timur juga tidak terwujud sebagaimana mestinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi faktor pendorong dan faktor pemungkin tidak terwujudnya gagasan sabuk hijau Timur kota baru Kebayoran. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor pendorong kegagalan tersebut terutama adalah kebijakan pembangunan pemerintah (Pusat dan Daerah) pasca penyerahan kedaulatan tersebut. Faktor pemungkin adalah kenyataan bahwa beberapa bagian kawasan belum diakuisisi, dan kebijakan pemerintah daerah yang mengijinkan atau mengembangkan bagian kawasan untuk fungsi lain. Dengan mengetahui faktor pendorong dan faktor pemungkin di atas, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pembelajaran bagi perencana dan pembuat kebijakan pembangunan kota baru di masa mendatang.
