Numerical Analysis of Streamlines in Kaplan Turbine with Different Distributor Fins Design
Authors: Twardowski Daniele , de Miranda Diego Alves
Published: February 2020

With each passing day companies are looking more and more in the initial phase of the project, to understand the phenomena arising, so that in the execution of the project there are no failures, much less when the project is in operation. For this, the numerical simulation has been shown an increasingly efficient tool to assist the engineers and designers of machines and equipment. The Kaplan turbine design requires a high level of engineering expertise combined with a high level of knowledge in fluid mechanics, as poor design of a diffuser fin can lead to disordered turbulent flow which, when mixed with a high pressure drop, can cavitate into turbine blades. The aim of this study is to evaluate different types of diffuser fin profiles in the inlet at Kaplan turbines. For this, numerical computer simulation was used with the aid of the Ansys Fluent software, in which simulations of water flow in a steady state occurred. The software works with the finite volume method for the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. The simulations have proved to be efficient in capturing current lines and pointing out the best flow profile in a project, avoiding more complex turbine blade problems.

Authors: Fathallah Aguk Zuhdi Muhammad , Putra Anugrah Des
Published: February 2020

IMO ANNEX VI has enacted TIER III since 2016; one of the regulated emissions is NOX. The effective NOX reducing method is by using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). EGR valve with air-cooled angle globe valve type has been developed in Marine Diesel Laboratory, Department of Marine Engineering, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS). EGR is in use on the Yanmar TF 85-MHDI diesel engine to study performance of engine, combustion processes, and NOX emitted experimentally. EGR varies from 0, 10, 20, and 30% respectively. To learn the performance of engine speed varied from 1800-2200 rpm. While the combustion process and NOX follow of IMO ANNEX VI. EGR without air cooling (HOT-EGR) is also studied for use as a reference of COLD-EGR achievement. The result of emission examine according to statistical data that modified diesel engine with HOT-EGR and COLD-EGR system are able to be within the threshold of emission test in TIER 2, at EGR valve opening 20% and 30% for load of 25%, 50%, and 75%. While for 100% load at EGR valve opening of 20% and 30%, the emission of diesel engine is capable of entering the TIER 3. In terms of performance the SFOC value can be improved on 10% of COLD-EGR condition with decrease of 14.62%, result for combustion process Peak pressure on the diesel engine becomes low and the heat release decreases.
Optimal Integration of Distributed Generation in a Radial Distribution System Using BW/FW Sweep and PSO Algorithm
Authors: Bouketir Omrane , Sebaa Haddi , Bouktir Tarek
Published: February 2020

Installation of distributed generations (DGs) could be an effective solution to the problem of shortage of the electric energy especially in populated areas. Installation of DG in non-suitable places can result in more energy losses and voltage instability which leads to higher operating cost. DGs should be placed optimally in the network to get maximum efficiency of the system. This paper presents a new method to solve the optimal sizing and placement of DGs with the aim of minimizing real power loss and improving voltage profile in a distribution system. A power flow technique based on Backward/Forward (BW/FW) sweep is used to calculate the system losses through different branches. Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is used to find out the optimal size and to identify the DG units placement in a radial distribution system simultaneously. Different scenarios of DG capacity are considered. The constraints of voltage and current through branches are investigated. The method is tested on 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems to demonstrate the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results obtained are discussed and analyzed where they proved the usefulness of the applied algorithm.

Authors: Wang Ziyi , Gong Zhiqiang , Wang Zhenbo , Li Xiaoyu , Chu Zhiwei
Published: February 2020

With the enhancement of public awareness of environmental protection, the harm of oily sludge has gradually been paid attention to. As a kind of dangerous solid waste, the arbitrary disposal of oily sludge will cause quite serious harm to both the environment and human beings. Research on the treatment methods of oily sludge has become a hot spot recently. At present, treatment methods of oily sludge are various, mainly including pyrolysis, direct combustion, freeze-thaw treatment, biological treatment, solvent extraction, thermochemical cleaning, ultrasound-assisted treatment or joint technology, etc. Based on the consideration of economic benefits, social benefits and treatment difficulties, pyrolysis has been considered to be the most appropriate method for oily sludge treatment. Syngas, liquid oil and char can be obtained from pyrolysis of oily sludge, which can meet different needs. In this paper, the pyrolysis technology of oily sludge is reported in detail, including pyrolysis methods, operational parameters and pyrolysis products of oily sludge. On the basis, the advantages and limitations of oily sludge pyrolysis technology are discussed, together with the report of feasibility of pyrolysis technology of oily sludge. Moreover, the development trend of pyrolysis technology of oily sludge is prospected for the future work.
Bruggen bouwen tussen verwachtingen en percepties?
Authors: Majoor Barbara
Published: February 2020

Verwachtingen en percepties zijn twee kanten van dezelfde medaille van het vraagstuk over het vertrouwen in het accountantsberoep. Gebruikers hebben verwachtingen over accountants. Maar het zijn dezelfde gebruikers die percepties hebben over accountants en het verschil daartussen bepaalt de verwachtingskloof. Namelijk de kwaliteit van dienstverlening kan worden gedefinieerd als het verschil tussen verwachtingen en percepties van de gebruiker. Het kwaliteitsverschil (de ‘kloof’ of ‘gap’) is het verschil tussen datgene wat gebruikers verwachtten en datgene wat gebruikers daadwerkelijk hebben ervaren.
Counting on Chemistry: Laboratory Evaluation of Seed Material-Dependent Detection Efficiencies of Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counters
Authors: Wlasits Peter Josef , Stolzenburg Dominik , Tauber Christian , Brilke Sophia , Schmitt Sebastian Harald , Winkler Paul Martin , Wimmer Daniela
Published: February 2020

Abstract. Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) are crucial instruments for detecting sub-10 nm aerosol particles. Understanding the detection performance of a CPC requires thorough characterization under well-controlled laboratory conditions. Besides the size of the seed particles, chemical interactions between the working fluid and the seed particles also influence the activation efficiencies. However, common seed particle materials used for CPC characterizations are not chosen in respect of chemical interactions with 5 vapor molecules of the working fluid by default. Here, we present experiments on the influence of the seed particle material on the detection efficiencies and the 50 % cut-off diameters of commonly used CPCs for the detection of sub-10 nm particles. A remarkable set consisting of six different and commercially available particle detectors, including the newly-developed TSI V-WCPC 3789 and a tuned TSI 3776, was tested. The corresponding working fluids of the instruments are n-butanol, diethylene glycol and water. Among other materials we were able to measure detection efficiencies with 10 nanometer-sized organic seed particles reproducibly generated by oxidation of β-caryophyllene vapor in a flow tube. Theoretical simulations of supersaturation profiles in the condensers were successfully related to measured detection efficiencies. Our results demonstrate the importance of chemical similarities between seed particles and the used working fluids when CPCs are characterized. We anticipate our study to contribute to a deeper understanding of chemical interactions during heterogeneous nucleation processes.

Dialogue and interpersonal connections have proved essential for the development of the Gestalt approach. Conferences, large and small, have served as reliable venues for these interactions to occur. The piece begins with a discussion of the structure, development, and evolution of Gestalt conferences. It goes on to highlight the recent Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Conference convened in Toronto in 2018, in which the topic of microaggression emerged and proved a compelling theme. Particular attention is paid to small conferences, which feature a single topic.
Being Right or Being Respectful: Gestalt Approach at the Diversity Table
Authors: Tropianskaia Jay
Published: February 2020

This piece responds to Deborah Plummer's contribution to what I call the “difficult conversation” in the Gestalt therapy community. Plummer is a major leader and contributor to the field of diversity, who credits her early Gestalt training as a significant support for her call to therapists to become “transformational agents” in bridging difference. To her “five tools of support,” I add a sixth, reflecting our changes to embodied relational awareness and greater therapist inclusion, which has led us to a more textured “use of self” in the therapy encounter. These supports, and our willingness to “blunder” toward attunement and resonance, allowing the client to lead, reflect Plummer's deep definition of Radical Respect.
Identity House and a Gestalt Experiment Revisited
Authors: Lazarin Burt
Published: February 2020

This is the history of a Gestalt experiment, Identity House, created in the turmoil of the early 1970s to provide the emerging lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community with peer counseling and group services. Many of its founders, such as Patrick Kelley, were Gestalt-trained and members of the New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy (NYIGT). Kelley's outline for Identity House was firmly based on the principles of Gestalt approaching, contacting and withdrawal, creatively encountering the environment to destruct and build anew. This history is also a memoir. Woven through it is the coming of age and coming out story of the author as a gay man and as a Gestalt psychotherapist. This essay underlines the continuing importance of the personal as political.

Published: February 2020

En el Municipio de San Rafael del Norte a 1,006, 1,115, 1,154 1,174 y 1,183 msnm a una latitud N de 13˚ en dos cosechas 2007-2008 y 2008-2009 se evaluó una propuesta de mejora del fermentado y otra sobre el secado en finca del café pergamino. Con el objetivo de identificar puntos críticos en el proceso de fermentado y su relación con la calidad de taza, se estudió el proceso del fermentado tal como ocurre en la finca de productores. Las variables evaluadas en las pilas de fermentación fueron pH, temperatura del café despulpado y calidad de taza. Se encontró que los tiempos de fermentación ideales del café despulpado para llegar a un pH de 4 - 4.5, son menores a lo que se usa tradicionalmente, pudiéndose sugerir que el productor debería, en general, lavar antes de lo que se está haciendo hoy día. Para garantizar un proceso de oreado rápido del café pergamino recién lavado, se evaluó un secador solar, éste consistió en una estructura de tubo de hierro galvanizado recubierta de plástico translúcido, con un área útil de secado de 18 m2 y una capacidad para 160 Kg de café pergamino. En los dos ciclos evaluados, en el secador se obtuvo una temperatura media superior en 8°C respecto a la temperatura ambiente, lográndose reducir el período de oreado de los granos de café en un 50%. Debido a la mejora de la calidad del café se estima conservadoramente que se pueden lograr unos 150 US$ de ganancia por secador y por ciclo de cosecha.

Este estudo apresenta avaliação do sistema de modelagem climática regional-PRECIS (Providing Regional Climate for Impacts Studies) em simular o clima atual (25 anos, 1981-2005) sobre a Amazônia oriental. As saídas do modelo global HadGEM2-ES foram utilizadas como condições de contorno para o modelo regional dentro do PRECIS, o HadRM3P. Os dados consistiram de médias mensais de precipitação (mm.dia-1) e temperatura do ar (°C.dia-1), a partir das quais obteve-se as médias sazonais. Para a comparação com as simulações fez-se o uso de observações provenientes do CPC (Climate Prediction Centre) e do Climate Research Unit (CRU). O desempenho do modelo foi avaliado através de análises de índices estatísticos como o viés, Raiz do Erro Médio Quadrático (REMQ), coeficiente de correlação, média e desvio padrão. Os resultados mostraram que o modelo reproduz razoavelmente bem os padrões espaciais sazonais da precipitação e temperatura na área de estudo, porém apresenta erros sistemáticos provenientes do HadRM3P, principalmente em DJF (Dezembro-Janeiro-Fevereiro) e MAM (Março-Abril-Maio) no norte (em relação à precipitação) e no leste (à temperatura) da região, respectivamente. Todavia, representou bem a variabilidade temporal da precipitação na porção sul da região, principalmente em MAM, e da temperatura em JJA (Julho-Agosto-Setembro). Os escores estatísticos entre as séries de dados simulados e observados das regiões homogêneas na Amazônia oriental revelaram que o HadRM3P tem melhor acurácia em simular a precipitação em JJA, enquanto a temperatura é melhor representada em SON (Setembro-Outubro-Novembro). Em relação ao ciclo anual nas regiões homogêneas, o modelo regional apresentou melhor desempenho que o global em reproduzir a precipitação, principalmente na estação seca, no entanto, tanto o modelo global quanto o modelo regional tendem a acentuar o ciclo anual da temperatura.

PROPOSTA PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE EVENTOS EXTREMOS DE CHUVA NO LITORAL NORTE PAULISTA
Authors: Dos Santos Denise Dias , Galvani Emerson
Published: February 2020

O Litoral Norte Paulista é, historicamente, marcado por eventos de precipitação extremas e características de relevo e solos que propiciam o desenvolvimento de desastres naturais como escorregamentos, inundações, entre outros. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar a análise dos eventos extremos de precipitação em uma feição climática definida por Monteiro (1973), com o uso da técnica estatística do Box Plot. Os resultados apresentados demonstram que os eventos extremos são aqueles que ultrapassam os valores de 99,9% do conjunto de dados e assim, definiram-se os limiares de evento extremo para cada posto. Os eventos extremos apresentaram sazonalidade, concentrados na estação mais chuvosa (verão e primavera), corroborando com os resultados encontrados na literatura para a área de estudo. Na análise comparativa dos três postos pluviométricos, o posto E2-046 obteve o maior número de registros de eventos extremos, porém o posto E2-009 apresentou o maior valor extremo de 500,0 mm em 24 horas. Este resultado pode ser explicado pela localização do posto na escarpa da Serra do Mar, que influencia o volume de precipitações ocorridas nesta localidade. A compreensão da ocorrência dos eventos extremos é relevante para o planejamento de ações que permitam a previsão e prevenção das consequências dos desastres naturais na área de estudo. A pesquisa também aponta a importância da padronização do sistema de análise de eventos extremos para auxiliar nos estudos da relação entre precipitações e desastres no Litoral Norte Paulista.

Diferentes metodologias realizam a estimativa da evapotranspiração e identificam qual melhor se adapta a uma determinada região, podendo facilitar o processo de gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar dentre as seis metodologias (Blaney-Criddle, Camargo, Hamon, Hargreaves-Samani, Linacre e Thornthwaite) qual se aproximava melhor da equação de referência (Penman-Monteith) em relação aos valores médios diários da evapotranspiração do município de Feira de Santana-BA. Foram calculadas as ETo’s para cada equação empírica em relação ao período de 2010 a 2014, seguida de uma análise comparativa através do índice de concordância (d), índice de confiança (c), índice de correlação de Pearson (r), regressão linear e das médias diárias mensais. Dos resultados encontrados, destaca-se o método de Camargo com d = 0,69 e r = 0,72, além de apresentar uma regressão linear mais próxima a equação de base. Hargreaves-Samani se sobressai com c = 0,78 e o método de Blaney-Criddle foi o mais expressivo em relação a análise das médias diárias para os meses do ano. A equação de Camargo apresentou maior recorrência entre as análises comparativas, portanto, denota desempenho mais próximo a equação de referência.

Published: February 2020

A crescente demanda hídrica juntamente com a falta de planejamento e gestão de recursos hídricos traz impactos ambientais. Consequentemente, a produção agropecuária é afetada, por ser uma atividade econômica que depende de disponibilidade hídrica e está muito suscetível às condições meteorológicas e às oscilações climatológicas. O presente estudo objetivou estimar o balanço hídrico climatológico e fazer a classificação climática na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Jauquara, afluente do Paraguai Superior, por meio da interpolação de dados históricos de precipitação e temperatura das estações meteorológicas mais próximas à área de estudo.  Através da interpolação dos dados obteve-se precipitação média anual de 1344,3 mm e temperatura média anual de 25,5ºC. O extrato do Balanço Hídrico Climatológico revelou 373,7 mm de déficit entre os meses de abril e outubro e excesso de 241,7 mm entre os novembro e março, sendo os meses críticos julho, agosto e setembro, com médias mensais de 63,9, 94,7 e 93,6 mm, respectivamente. O tipo climático foi representado pela fórmula C2wA’b’4, ou seja, clima Megatérmico com déficit hídrico moderado no inverno e evapotranspiração de 1476,2 mm, ocorrendo 48% no verão. A interpolação dos dados climáticos permitiu estimar o balanço hídrico e realizar classificação climática, pois corrobora com a realidade da região estudada.

What is the Return Rate of a Corporate Pension Scheme? Generalized Annuity Factors Simplify Calculation
Authors: Wilde Joerg
Published: February 2020

Corporate pension schemes are widely spread especially in Northern Europe, North America, Japan. Often the major portion of defined contributions to the scheme is shouldered by the employer. A crucial question for an employee is, whether the return from his/her corporate pension plan - taking into account the corporate engagement and eventually governmental savings promotion - is favourable in comparison to other capital products for the time of retirement. This question is not answered by the absolute return in form of the future pension amount. Additionally, the employee must know the relative return, the Pension Rate of Return (PRR), in relation to what he/she has invested in form of employee contributions into the pension plan during his/her work life. Focussing on better pension information and also on counteraction to melting interest return, two current topics will be addressed. A very useful evaluation instrument for this task is the Generalized Annuity Factor (GAF). It is a generalization of the well-known Annuity Factor, which is restricted to constant payments only. With GAF any time dependent payments, e.g. linear or more complex nonlinear payments over time can be valued by a compressed closed-form formula in the same manner as constant payments by the classic Annuity Factor. Pension payments regarding mortality are such complex payments depending systematically on age. Because of its computational efficiency the new instrument simplifies calculations to be done also in smaller funds, firms or public services with common spreadsheet programs.

This study aims at investigating the extent to which of perception of organizational justice predict organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among Adhoc teaching staff of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi Uku. OCB here is conceptualized as a term that encompasses any positive and constructive action that employees engage in, on their own volition which supports co-workers and benefits the organization. This study adopted the survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 150 Adhoc teaching staff of the Polytechnic, out of which 120 was conveniently sampled. Data was collected through questionnaires. To determine its reliability, Cronbach-alpha was used (organizational citizenship behaviour 0.81 and 0.83 for organizational justice.) The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that mean of OCB are slightly above average. And there is significant positive relationship between the components of organizational justice and OCB. Furthermore, the three dimensions of organizational justice (distributive, procedural and interactional) indicated a positive relationship with the two main dimensions of OCB, namely OCB-interpersonal and OCB-organisational.
Restorative justice en normconform gedrag: een systematische review
Authors: Kluin Marieke , Albayrak Selma
Published: February 2020

Restorative justice

Restorative justice has developed into a recognized sanction or intervention in several countries. Literature shows that restorative justice is experienced as a procedural just approach by participants. Furthermore, a strong rejection of the behavior of the violators would reinforce reintegrative shaming in the process. Finally, stopping crime (desistance) could be achieved if the restorative justice approach would include reconstructing the self-image of the participants. This systematic literature review examines to what extent restorative justice contributes to compliant behavior by individuals and corporations. Although direct effects of restorative justice on compliance and recidivism fail to appear, procedural justice and reintegrative shame are positively affected. The results offer practical implementations and challenges for further research.

Joint reflection on the working alliance in probation supervision

Joint reflection of practitioners and clients appears beneficiary for the effectiveness of their working alliance in, for instance, psychotherapy. This study aims to find out whether a similar beneficiary effect is experienced by practitioners and clients in probation supervision, a mandated setting. Over thirty dyads of Dutch probation officers and probationers participated into structured joint reflection, using the working alliance monitor, specifically designed for this purpose. The majority of probation officers reported the reflection as useful. Probationers reported a more mixed experience. Probationers with an intellectual disability more often needed help to understand the working alliance monitor.

Citizen Participation in the Dutch Environment and Planning Act: Participation without (serious) legal obligation

Public participation is an important issue in the forthcoming Dutch Environment and Planning Act (2021). The importance of participation is emphasized in numerous places in the parliamentary documents to the Act. This contribution discusses how the new Act gives legal substance to the objectives that the government is pursuing regarding participation and whether the involvement of citizens is indeed better imbedded by this act. It addresses the important subject of the ‘right moment of participation’ in the fragmented Dutch policy and decision system. Consecutively it deals with the question of potential legal consequences for non-compliance by administrative bodies to the legal participation obligations when drawing up plans and decisions. Can a citizen enforce (substantive) participation in the administrative court after the Environmental and Planning Act comes into force? The possibilities are limited. Findings show that the new Environment and Planning Act does not address the essential problems that arise with participation. The successful creation of local support, better quality and faster decision-making through participation all depend on how the (local) government shapes participation. From a legal perspective, the Environment and Planning Act makes little contribution to this. In the view of the authors this is not surprising, because the role of legislation in safeguarding substantive participation should not be overestimated.

On December 13-17th, 2017, the 8th Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference took place in Anaheim, California. The conference takes place every 4- 5 years and is considered the largest conference ever held on the topic of psychotherapy. The first Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference was held in 1985 as a celebration of the 100th birthday of psychotherapy was called as “the Woodstock of Psychotherapy” by TIME magazine. The conference was also covered by The New York Times and Los Angeles Times. Names such as Carl Rogers, Albert Ellis, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Jay Haley, James Masterson, and
Virginia Satir were members of the first faculty of The Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference in 1985. Since then the conference hosted honorable faculty members
such as Albert Bandura, David Marlow, Aaron Beck, Salvador Minuchin, Claudia
Black, Deepak Chopra, Otto F. Kernberg, Cloe Madanes, Paul Ekman, Donald Meichenbaum, Christine A.Padesky, Robert Sapolsky, Irvin Yalom and many others. The conference usually draws about 6000-7000 participants who represent every state in the U.S. and more than 50 countries of the world.
Borges’s “The Intruder” Remediated: Adaptation to Silver/Cyber Screens
Authors: Hadaegh Bahee , Torabi Venus
Published: February 2020

The present article is a critical scene for studying Ghazal 1975, an Iranian film by Masud Kimiai and Natalie Bookchin’s videogame, The Intruder 1999, both adapted from Borges’s short story, “The Intruder”. Exploiting Linda Hutcheon’s A Theory of Adaptation (three modes of engagement in a story), the concentration is on showing how Borges’s story, as a telling mode (print), is remediated into showing (film) and interactive (video game). Ghazal exercises both fidelity criticism and appropriation regarding contextualization and adaptability, whereas The Intruder is a game of narration and interaction simultaneously, where the significance lies at studying the game’s “narrative mode” as a show case of Cyber Literature. The effort is aimed at scrutinizing how literary adaptations as forms of remediation a
Some Suitable Strategies of Economic Development for Developing Countries like Pakistan
Authors: Mahmood Tariq , Quddus Suhaib Abdul
Published: February 2020

The bitter fact of the world is that mostly people are living in poverty especially in the
developing countries. This paper presents some effective policies and strategies for the
rehabilitation of poor inhabitants of developing world. The development and prosperity of developing countries depends on the economic condition of their inhabitants. In developing countries, mostly people are engaged with agricultural sector or with labor
sector. Due to their low incomes, per capita of developing countries remain low. But by
following some strategies and policies this condition may be changed. Furthermore,
export of costly products is also hindrances in the way of achieving progress for
developing countries. By solving brain drain, lessening their industrial imports and
increasing their exports of industrial goods and increasing literacy rate are some suitable strategies discussed. But despite of all policies and strategies, the infrastructure and increasing literacy among the inhabitants of developing countries and the under developed world are also crucial for improving their per capita income and the standard of living. Without improving the standard of living of the under developed world, crimes, diseases and other wrong deeds cannot be decreased until the problem of hunger and ignorance is not solved.
Around Richard Münch’s Academic Capitalism Theory
Authors: Czerniak Stanisław ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: February 2020

The author reviews the main elements of Richard Münch’s academic capitalism theory. By introducing categories like “audit university” or “entrepreneurial university,” the German sociologist critically sets today’s academic management model against the earlier, modern-era conception of academic work as an “exchange of gifts.” In the sociological and psychological sense, he sees the latter’s roots in traditional social lore, for instance the potlatch ceremonies celebrated by some North-American Indian tribes and described by Marcel Mauss. Münch shows the similarities between the old, “gift exchanging” model and the contemporary one with its focus on the psycho-social fundamentals of scientific praxis, and from this gradually derives the academic capitalism conception. He concludes with the critical claim that science possesses its own, inalienable axiological autonomy and anthropological dimension, which degenerate as capitalism proceeds to “colonise” science by means of state authority and money (here Münch mentions Jürgen Habermas and his philosophical argumentation).The author also offers a somewhat broader view of Münch’s analyses in the context of his own reflections on the problem.
Parsimony and Ontological Control: Quine and Wittgenstein on the Size of the World
Authors: Atkinson Mitchell ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: February 2020

In this paper, I argue that philosophers, while developing ontologies, can be classed as misers or profligates. I develop the categories of ontological miserliness and ontological profligacy and supply explanatory examples. I explore the theoretical motivation of both misers and profligates in terms of thought-time and inquiry scope. In brief, misers prioritize thought-time over inquiry scope; vice-versa for profligates. I examine the extent to which conservation of thought-time is an active concern for misers and provide a miserly taxonomy for ontologies; ontologies may be cheap, expensive or impossible. I argue that profligates countenance the generative character of the ontological enterprise at the expense of exclusion and limitation. The works of Willard Van Orman Quine and Ludwig Wittgenstein provide canonic examples of miserly and profligate ontologies. I argue that Quine is an ontological miser par excellence, and that Wittgenstein is profligate in his later period and evinces an intermediate position in his early period. Finally, I discuss the theoretical stakes involved in this entire discussion, provide brief contemporary examples, and explore the extent to which the distinction between miserliness and profligacy is illusory.

Learning Mathematics in a Second Language: Language Positive and Language Neutral Classrooms
Authors: Barwell Richard
Published: February 2020

Research focused on learning mathematics in a 2nd language is generally located in individual 2nd-language contexts. In this ethnographic study, I investigated mathematics learning in 4 different second-language contexts: a mainstream classroom, a sheltered classroom for Indigenous students, a welcome class for new immigrants, and a French-immersion classroom. The study was framed by a view of learning as socialization and the Bakhtinian notion of centripetal and centrifugal language forces. I present 7 socialization events that were particularly salient in 1 or more of the classrooms. For each socialization event, I identify various socialization practices. Based on a comparison of socialization practices in the 4 classrooms, I propose a distinction between language positive and language neutral mathematics classrooms. In language positive mathematics classrooms, students’ socialization into mathematics and language includes explicit attention to different aspects of language use in mathematics. In language neutral mathematics classrooms, the role of language in mathematics tends to be implicit.
