Authors: Shubina Ivanna
Published: November 2021

Abstract - There has been emerging interest in the effectiveness of interactive mobile technology usage in psychological, social, medical and business interventions. However, the field still lacks holistic overviews of the role of technology for psychological, social, medical and business interventions.  

The present bibliometric study was employed to identify and synthesize the results from studies exploring domains of  interactive mobile technology used in applied psychology and counseling, supporting health professionals, managing mental and physical health, humanizing technology and improving its efficiency in the business field, as well as in the social field including vocational education, safeguarding, communities and ethnic minorities. An author analyzed the papers published in highly ranked and cited journals which were indexed and ranked in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus, in the period of 2020 to 2021. The results demonstrated high interest in studied domains within various subjects and fields of study, demonstrating the interest in the opportunities which provide the technology for professional education and developing methodological competences.
Améliorer le sentiment de compétence en gestion de projet des étudiants : résultats d’une démarche SoTL
Authors: Mohib Najoua , Zingaretti Simon , Bachelet Rémi
Published: November 2021

Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche réalisée dans une perspective Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) visant à améliorer un enseignement de gestion de projet proposé en deuxième année de master de sciences de l’éducation et de la formation à l’Université de Strasbourg. Après avoir observé que les étudiants ne se sentaient pas prêts à conduire un projet à l’issue de leur formation, une nouvelle formule pédagogique a été mise en place, étayée par la théorie du sentiment d’auto-efficacité (Bandura, 2003). La démarche SoTL, conduite dans le même temps, devait permettre de vérifier si l’introduction de modalités pédagogiques ayant recours à la persuasion verbale avait une incidence positive plus marquée sur le sentiment de compétence en gestion de projet que les situations d’expériences actives de maîtrise déjà mises en œuvre antérieurement. Pour ce faire, les étudiants (n = 10) ont été invités à s’autoévaluer sur les 24 compétences visées par cet enseignement et ce, à trois reprises : avant, pendant et après leur participation à la formation. Des entretiens semi-directifs ont également été réalisés avec tous les participants. Si les résultats montrent une augmentation significative du sentiment de compétence en gestion de projet, il n’a pas été possible d’établir de liens précis avec l’une ou l’autre des méthodes pédagogiques mises en place. Cependant, le bilan de cette expérimentation s’est avéré positif et des pistes d’action ont pu être envisagées pour la suite. Cette contribution se termine par une réflexion sur la mobilisation de l’approche SoTL dans ce contexte.
Analyse des freins à l’adoption des SPOC en classes inversées
Authors: Sassi Narjes , Cloonan Caroline
Published: November 2021

« The flipped classroom » ou les classes inversées semblent être une méthode d’enseignement dont l’usage s’est élargi dans les établissements d’enseignement supérieur. Dans les classes inversées, les étudiants disposent d’un contenu à visionner en ligne qui sert de base aux interactions en présentiel. Ce dispositif d’enseignement permettrait une meilleure qualité des échanges et l’approfondissement des connaissances ainsi qu’une autonomie et une responsabilisation des apprenants travaillant les contenus à leurs rythmes. Mais la mise en place de classes inversées avec usage de Small Private Online Course (SPOC) dans un programme de formation peut également poser le problème de son adoption par l’équipe enseignante et celui de leur acceptation par les apprenants.Des freins à l’adoption de ces nouvelles modalités pédagogiques peuvent émerger. Nous analysons ces freins grâce aux retours d’expériences de responsables pédagogiques au sein d’une école de commerce qui ont mis en œuvre et suivi des dispositifs de classes inversées avec usage de SPOC. L’analyse de données qualitatives distingue et qualifie les freins des enseignants et ceux des apprenants. Chez les enseignants les principaux freins sont (a) un inconfort/résistance quant à la transformation de leurs rôles, (b) la contrainte de l’appropriation d’un contenu qu’ils n’ont pas développé, (c) le suivi continu des travaux en ligne et (d) l’incertitude quant aux métriques disponibles pour évaluer la compréhension. Chez les apprenants, ces freins sont (a) l’organisation et l’autonomie du travail, (b) la non-immédiateté de l’interaction avec l’enseignant et (c) le manque de compréhension de l’intérêt du format.

Published: November 2021

The design of the optimal shape of patch with a good compromise between mechanical performances and manufacturing aspects can be sought in order to get the maximum structural safety-cost ratio. In this work an analysis has been conducted for development of a finite element methodology to circumvent the thermal effect problem in the bonded repair. Physical and geometrical parameters of the repair material were assumed to be variables, this method are based on two approaches: The first, have modified the patch shape by removing the two isosceles notches (h varied) for minimisation the heating size in the direction of loading. For the second step of the study, the same surface previously deduced are compensate in the other direction with varied the property module for the adhesive layer, for inducing a larger the area covering of crack tip and reduce the thermal stress. The values of thermal stresses obtained from the variation of these two parameters were found to be low compared to the obtained values for initial shape.
Effect of Heat Treatment on the Properties of Polyetheretherketone and its Composite
Authors: Mohammed Alaa A.
Published: November 2021

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer with high chemical resistance, thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties. In the present work, neat PEEK and 3% bioactive glass/PEEK composites were annealed at various temperatures (100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C) for (30 and 60) min and characterized with mechanical and density tests, differential scanning calorimetery and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results manifested bioactive glass powder enhanced the properties of the PEEK matrix. Thermal annealing at (200 and 300 °C) had a positive influence on the mechanical properties and density owing to increase in the level of crystallinity, whereas annealing at (100 °C) had not effect on the properties.

Published: November 2021

This work investigated the dry sliding wear behaviour of spark plasma sintered (SPSed) Ti-Ni binary alloys produced at varying nickel content with alloy steel ball as the counterface material, at room temperature under varied applied normal loads. Finite element modeling was used to investigate the high-velocity impact response of the sintered alloys due to the dimensional constraint associated with SPSed samples. Microstructural analysis results revealed the presence of intermetallic phases of Ti-Ni with increasing nickel content. The best wear resistance ranging from 0.25 x 10-3 mm3/Nm to 0.22 x 10-3 mm3/Nm across all applied loads was obtained in Ti-6Ni alloy. This was attributed to the compaction of the protective triboxide and carbide layers on the surface of the sample. Oxidative and wear by adhesion were observed at low applied normal load while at high loads the prevalent wear mechanism was abrasive with reduced influence of oxidative and adhesive wear. Finite element analysis results also showed that Ti-6Ni alloy possessed the optimum combination of absorbed energy and ductility to reduce the possibility of brittle failure under impact loading.

High IL-23+ cells infiltration correlates with worse clinical outcomes and abiraterone effectiveness in patients with prostate cancer
Authors: Liu Zheng , Zhang Jun-Yu , Yang Yun-Jie , Chang Kun , Wang Qi-Feng , Kong Yun-Yi , Dai Bo
Published: November 2021

Individualized treatment of prostate cancer depends on an accurate stratification of patients who are sensitive to various treatments. Interleukin-23 (IL-23) was reported to play a significant role in prostate cancer. Here, we aimed to explore the clinical value of IL-23-secreting (IL-23+) cells in prostate cancer patients. We evaluated interleukin-23A (IL-23A) expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas database and retrospectively enrolled 179 treatment-naïve metastatic prostate cancer patients diagnosed in our institute between June 2012 and December 2014. IL-23+ cells were stained and evaluated via immunohistochemistry. Further, survival and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to explore the prognostic value of IL-23+ cells. We found that IL-23A expression correlated with disease progression, while IL-23+ cells were clearly stained within prostate cancer tissue. Patients with higher Gleason scores and multiple metastatic lesions tended to have more IL-23+ cell infiltration. Further analyses showed that patients with higher levels of IL-23+ cells had significantly worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.996, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.812–4.955; P = 0.001) and a higher risk of developing castration resistance (HR = 2.725, 95% CI: 1.865–3.981; P = 0.001). Moreover, subgroup analyses showed that when patients progressed to a castration-resistant status, the prognostic value of IL-23+ cells was observed only in patients treated with abiraterone instead of docetaxel. Therefore, we showed that high IL-23+ cell infiltration is an independent prognosticator in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. IL-23+ cell infiltration may correlate with abiraterone effectiveness in castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.
Pediatric high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features of the spinal cord
Authors: Yu Beibei , Lu Yang , Jing Linkai , Wang Guihuai
Published: November 2021

Although the 2021 World Health Organization classification update of the central nervous system tumors redefined "pilomyxoid astrocytoma" as high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP), the craniocerebral HGAP exhibits poorer clinical outcomes when compared to pilocytic astrocytoma. However, in the spinal cord, the paucity of information of HGAP cases inhibits the judgment of prognosis and optimal management approaches for patients with spinal HGAP. Here, we summarized the clinical characteristics, management methods, and prognosis of ten cases of spinal HGAP reported in the literature and two cases of spinal HGAP who underwent tumor surgery in our institution. Here, the detailed clinical information we provided may help clinical decision-making for such rare childhood lesions. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committees in our institution on June 29, 2021.
Diagnostic challenges in epithelioid glioblastoma of the cerebellum
Authors: Aggarwal Phiza , Chatterjee Debajyoti , Gupta Vipin Kumar , Gupt Rekha
Published: November 2021

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGB) is an uncommon morphological variant of isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type GB that commonly presents as a cerebral mass in young adults and children. Here, we report the case of a 22-year-old man who presented with a cerebellar tumor. With the provisional diagnosis of pilocytic astrocytoma and adult medulloblastoma, he underwent suboccipital craniotomy with gross total excision of the tumor. On histopathological examination, he was diagnosed with eGB. Cerebellar presentation of eGB is a rare event that has not been previously described in the literature. The present case also highlights the need for differentiating eGB from its morphological mimics by carefully interpreting histopathological and immunohistochemical examination findings.
Application and prospect of radiomics in spinal cord and spine system diseases
Authors: Ma Chao , Wang Guihuai
Published: November 2021

Spinal cord and spine system diseases are complex and diverse, and prognosis is often poor. Therefore, early diagnosis is essential, especially for spinal system tumors, which are malignant nervous system tumors that have the highest mortality and disability rates. Accurate diagnosis avoids unnecessary operations. Traditional medical imaging diagnosis remains at the level of anatomical morphology, and there is a considerable amount of useful information that can be extracted and utilized. Radiomics is a new method of medical imaging diagnosis that is committed to improving image analysis and is capable of extracting a large number (more than 200 types) of quantitative features from medical images. Numerous studies on the application of radiomics in various systems of the body have been conducted. We reviewed current research on radiomics in spinal cord and spine system diseases and discussed the progress and challenges to provide a basis for improving the diagnosis and identification of spinal cord and spine system diseases and offer evidence-based support for precision medicine.
Glioblastoma multiforme of the conus medullaris with leptomeningeal dissemination that presented as intracranial hypertension
Authors: Hu Yu , Yin Wumeng , Ma Junpeng , Liu Jiagang , Huang Siqing , Chen Haifeng
Published: November 2021

Spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that originates from the conus medullaris is rare as only 28 cases have been reported. It is highly aggressive and usually initially presents with low back pain, sensory and motor impairment of the lower extremities, and bladder dysfunction. We herein report a unique case of GBM in the conus medullaris with leptomeningeal dissemination that initially presented with increased intracranial pressure without hydrocephalus. The patient was first diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis and received antituberculosis therapy, but the symptoms did not resolve and even worsened. Subsequent radiological imaging clearly disclosed an intramedullary lesion at the T12 level with the progression of leptomeningeal enhancement. Subtotal resection of the intramedullary lesion was performed, and pathological examination revealed the presence of GBM. To our knowledge, our case was the first with holocordal and intracranial leptomeningeal dissemination that initially presented with intracranial hypertension in the absence of hydrocephalus. Awareness of this unusually lethal condition is significant for proper diagnosis, timely treatment, and consideration of clinical prognosis.
Intersigmoid Internal Hernia – A Rare Etiology of Small-Bowel Obstruction
Authors: Alur Sunilkumar B. , Siva Sangeetha
Published: November 2021

Internal hernias account for only a small percentage of all instances of intestinal obstruction. Hernias which result from defects or abnormalities of the sigmoid mesocolon are among the rarer types of internal hernia. When untreated, they have been reported to have a high overall mortality. Due to a lack of specific clinical manifestations, they are usually diagnosed late. In addition, evaluation and imaging studies can also be nonspecific. The possibility of sigmoid mesocolon hernia should be considered in patients presenting with symptoms of progressive or persistent small-bowel obstruction without a previous history of surgery or abdominal inflammation as it is associated with a high incidence of strangulation. Without a heightened awareness and understanding of this hernia, it can always be misdiagnosed, with subsequent significant morbidity and mortality. Here, we report a case of acute intestinal obstruction secondary to sigmoid mesocolon hernia.
Global existence of entropy-weak solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with non-linear density dependent viscosities
Authors: Bresch Didier , Vasseur Alexis F. , Yu Cheng
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we considerably extend the results on global existence of entropy-weak solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes system with density dependent viscosities obtained, independently (using different strategies) by Vasseur–Yu [Invent. Math. 206 (2016) and arXiv:1501.06803 (2015)] and by Li–Xin [arXiv:1504.06826 (2015)]. More precisely, we are able to consider a physical symmetric viscous stress tensor

\sigma = 2 \mu(\rho) \,{\mathbb D}(u) +(\lambda(\rho) \operatorname{div} u - P(\rho) \operatorname {Id}

where

{\mathbb D}(u) = [\nabla u + \nabla^T u]/2

with shear and bulk viscosities (respectively

\mu(\rho)

and

\lambda(\rho)

) satisfying the BD relation

\lambda(\rho)=2(\mu'(\rho)\rho - \mu(\rho))

and a pressure law

P(\rho)=a\rho^\gamma

(with

a>0

a given constant) for any adiabatic constant

\gamma>1

. The non-linear shear viscosity

\mu(\rho)

satisfies some lower and upper bounds for low and high densities (our result includes the case

\mu(\rho)= \mu\rho^\alpha

with

2/3 < \alpha < 4

and

\mu>0

constant). This provides an answer to a longstanding question on compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density dependent viscosities, mentioned for instance by F. Rousset [Bourbaki 69ème année, 2016–2017, exp. 1135].
Irreducible modules for pseudo-reductive groups
Authors: Bate Michael , Stewart David I.
Published: November 2021

We classify the irreducible representations of smooth, connected affine algebraic groups over a field, by tackling the case of pseudo-reductive groups. We reduce the problem of calculating the dimension for pseudo-split pseudo-reductive groups to the split reductive case and the pseudo-split pseudo-reductive commutative case. Moreover, we give the first results on the latter, including a rather complete description of the rank one case.
$C^r$-prevalence of stable ergodicity for a class of partially hyperbolic systems
Authors: Leguil Martin , Zhang Zhiyuan
Published: November 2021

We prove that for

r \in \mathbb{N}_{\geq 2} \cup \{\infty\}

, for any dynamically coherent, center bunched and strongly pinched volume preserving

C^r

partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism

f \colon X \to X

, if either (1) its center foliation is uniformly compact, or (2) its center-stable and center-unstable foliations are of class

C^1

, then there exists a

C^1

-open neighborhood of

f

in

\operatorname{Diff}^r(X,\mathrm{Vol})

, in which stable ergodicity is

C^r

-prevalent in Kolmogorov's sense. In particular, we verify Pugh–Shub's stable ergodicity conjecture in this region. This also provides the first result that verifies the prevalence of stable ergodicity in the measure-theoretical sense. Our theorem applies to a large class of algebraic systems. As applications, we give affirmative answers in the strongly pinched region to: 1. an open question of Pugh–Shub (1997); 2. a generic version of an open question of Hirsch–Pugh–Shub (1977); and 3. a generic version of an open question of Pugh–Shub (1997).
Doob equivalence and non-commutative peaking for Markov chains
Authors: Chen Xinxin , Dor-On Adam , Hui Langwen , Linden Christopher , Zhang Yifan
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we show how questions about operator algebras constructed from stochastic matrices motivate new results in the study of harmonic functions on Markov chains. More precisely, we characterize the coincidence of conditional probabilities in terms of (generalized) Doob transforms, which then leads to a stronger classification result for the associated operator algebras in terms of spectral radius and strong Liouville property. Furthermore, we characterize the non-commutative peak points of the associated operator algebra in a way that allows one to determine them from inspecting the matrix. This leads to a concrete analogue of the maximum modulus principle for computing the norm of operators in the ampliated operator algebras.
A critical note on the scientific conception of economics: claiming for a methodological pluralism
Authors: Reinke Rouven
Published: November 2021

Opponents of mainstream economics have not yet called attention to the lack of in-depth examination of the general scientific conception of modern economics. However, economic science cannot consistently fulfil the epistemological and ontological requirements of the scientific standards underlying this conception. What can be scientifically recognized as true cannot be answered, neither through the actual ontological structure of the object of observation nor through a methodological demarcation. These limitations necessarily lead to the claim for both a pragmatic and a radical methodological pluralism.

Authors: Boschilia Bruno , Marchi Júnior Wanderley
Published: November 2021

A busca por reduzir a incidência de equívocos de arbitragem levou as entidades gestoras do futebol a introduzirem o Árbitro Assistente de Vídeo, ou mais popularmente conhecido como VAR (Vídeo Assistant Referee), em sua abreviatura da língua inglesa. A inserção deste auxílio tecnológico para as decisões dos oficiais de arbitragem trouxe novas implicações ao futebol contemporâneo. O presente ensaio tem objetivo demonstrar o funcionamento do VAR e suas implantações no futebol brasileiro, apresentar o Modelo Analítico dos 5 E's proposto pelo professor Wanderley Marchi Júnior e, em seguida, com base na literatura produzida sobre a temática, discutir os possíveis impactos que a inserção desta ferramenta de auxílio tecnológico tem provocado no futebol com base neste modelo de análise do esporte contemporâneo. Com base nas reflexões propostas, sugerimos que os impactos do VAR ultrapassam as quatro linhas que delimitam o campo de jogo.

Right Recurrent Femoral Hernia with Left Inguinal Hernia - A Case Report
Authors:   Department of General Surgery, M.S. University Vadodara, Gujarat, India, Choksi Dr. D. B.
Published: November 2021

Femoral hernias are a relatively uncommon type, accounting for only 3% of all hernias. While femoral hernias can occur in both males and females, they occur approximately 10 times as frequently in women than in men because of the wider bone structure of the female pelvis³. Femoral hernias develop in the upper part of the thigh near the groin just below the inguinal ligament, where abdominal contents pass through a naturally occurring weakness called the femoral canal. Femoral hernia have the highest rate of incarceration amongst groin hernia, 5%–20%⁵

Published: November 2021

In the present investigation the effect of drip lateral installation depths and emitter spacing on sugarcane crop water productivity and yield was studied by installing laterals at 15, 20 and 30 cm depths from surface, while the emitters were spaced at 50, 60 and 75 cm. A factorial experiment in the form of randomized complete block design was carried out at the Sugarcane Research and Training Institute of Khuzestan in South-West of Iran. Sugarcane quantity specifications results showed there was significant difference between treatments in terms of drip emitter spacing and lateral installation depths and their interactions at 1% probability level. Similar trends were also observed in case of quality traits of sugarcane. Investigating the water productivity index for sugarcane and sugar yield it showed that treatments were significant in terms of the space between emitters at 1% probability level. The maximum sugarcane yield was observed in the treatment with a space between emitters of 50 cm, and 20 cm of installation depth. At 60 cm space the emitters of 60 cm and the installation depth of application of 20 cm, the highest water productivity was obtained, reaching 7.18 and 0.87 kg/m3 for produced sugarcane and sugar respectively.

Published: November 2021

A study was carried out on the effects of hydrogen peroxide and benzene treatments on morphological traits of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in Keffi. NCRIBEN-02M variety of sesame was exposed to varying concentration (100, 75, 50, 25 and 0%), of benzene, hydrogen peroxide, and the mixture of the two chemical mutagens. The M2 generation of the genotypes were assessed for plant height, number of leaves, leaves area. Benzene treatment, at all levels, have the highest plant height. The increase in number of leaves and leaf area are significant at p≤0.05 and 95% confidence. The optimum concentrations of the mutagens used for mutation in sesame, were effective at 100 and 75% of all the treatments. The most effective mutagen for inducing mutation in sesame under Keffi environment is benzene, followed by Hydrogen Peroxide. Benzene and hydrogen peroxide have proven themselves as chemical mutagens, in mutation breeding. They have unlocked several agronomic traits in sesame. Further, study on these mutagens will enhance the genetic variability in the growing of sesame for higher performance

Between Justice and Regularity in Distance Education Homeschooling and Community Partnerships Solutions in the Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Alarifi Hessah Saad , ALjuwayid Mashael Saleh , Quraishi Wafa Abdulrahman
Published: November 2021

In Saudi Arabia, education has been transformed in light of the Corona pandemic into distance education through digital platforms, and the state has secured a good technical infrastructure for this. And it became the compulsory educational style for all groups of students with a large number of different requirements and mandatory daily attendance. The research team noticed the inability of some groups of students to keep pace with the requirements of distance education, which reduces the opportunities for justice in education for students, especially at the primary level. Accordingly, the research team used the qualitative method between analyzing UNESCO documents on education fairness and applying the interview tool to seventeen interviews of primary school leaders who were randomly selected (one school from each school district). A full year of learning about each other under the pandemic. The study found that not all students were able to obtain the same educational opportunities, and they were classified according to two categories: The first category is students who suffer from difficulty accessing the Internet, or their parents' ignorance of technology, or their poor social level, which hinders them from securing educational supplies. distance. As for the second category, they are outstanding students with special social conditions between the separation of parents or orphans and others, so that the student can master learning at home, but he cannot attend daily on the platform or follow up on the submission of mandatory distance education requirements. The research team suggested adopting home education at the primary level for those who wish to it, and providing community partnership as solutions to achieve justice in education for all groups of students at the primary level.
Comparison of Artificial Intelligence and Human Motivation
Authors: Yoo Seoyeon
Published: November 2021

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, humans act according to their needs. Humans also act with an interest in the internal process itself, rather than solely based on external rewards. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is trained through a large amount of data and neural network learning. Unlike humans who are greatly affected by emotions and various circumstances, AI is neutral and objective. With no clear limitations and vast potential for development. AI has been receiving a lot of attention. Many futurists say AI will replace humans in areas that we, in the past, couldn’t imagine machines doing the work. However, there are still areas where AI cannot replace humans. Metacognition to judge one's thoughts and creativity, the power to come up with new ideas, still remains in human domains that artificial intelligence has not been able to enter. This paper explores the reinforcement of humans and AI and explores the original human realm. Furthermore, understanding the original human domain can suggest developing human competitiveness.
Bilateral Investment Treaty and Foreign Direct Investment in India
Authors: T. Lakshmanasamy
Published: November 2021

India has one of the largest Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) networks with other counties around the world. The BITs is to promote foreign investment by increasing investor confidence, empowering individual private parties to take international arbitral proceedings against the threat of appropriation by the government of the host country. This paper analyses the effect of BITs on FDI inflows in India using panel data for 76 countries for the time period 2000-2016 applying a dynamic panel generalised method of moments instrumental variable estimation method. The differenced GMM and system GMM estimates show a significant negative effect of bilateral investment treaties on the FDI inflows in India. While the lagged FDI has a significant positive effect, the financial openness of the source nations is reducing FDI inflows to India. The POLCON index shows that the countries with lesser political constraints have positive FDI outflow towards India. As opposed to domestic variables, the Chinn-Ito and POLCON indices have a greater share of change in FDI inflows to India. It seems that the BITs is not efficient enough to create investor confidence to invest in India.
Formas de movimento, casas e corpos no Terecô em Codó (Maranhão)
Authors: Ahlert Martina
Published: November 2021

O capítulo tem como eixo as experiências vividas por uma mãe de santo de uma religião afro-brasileira do interior do Maranhão. Luiza é uma senhora de mais de oitenta anos que desde sua infância convive com os encantados – entidades recebidas no Terecô. Sua vida foi tecida, como relata, pela importância de sua família de sangue, mas, também, pelas relações com as entidades. É a partir delas que este texto pretende analisar diversas formas de movimento. Nesse sentido, além do deslocamento geográfico que Luiza viveu de forma constante – marcado por questões fundiárias e familiares – o texto discorre sobre formas de mobilidade que surgem imbricadas com esferas normalmente consideradas fixas, como as casas; ou fechadas, como os corpos. Nesse esforço analítico, evidencia-se como os encantados introduzem questões importantes sobre o acesso à terra, os constrangimentos ao deslocamento, a ideia de propriedade. Por fim, a pesquisa questiona certos enquadramentos utilizados para falar sobre casas e corpos, na medida em que as transgressões que os encantados operam nos marcadores espaço-temporais trazem outras chaves de análise.
Mobilidade em caminhos instáveis; as andanças de Madame Modlin
Authors: Evangelista Felipe
Published: November 2021

No presente trabalho, proponho-me a seguir viagens feitas por Madame Modlin, uma mulher que se dedicou ao comércio por parte importante de sua vida, e que por esse motivo circulou entre diferentes comunas e províncias no Haiti e na República Dominicana (RD). Interessa-nos observar as condições empíricas de circulação, ressaltando a importância da construção e deterioração de caminhos e estradas, bem como os modos de compartilhamento de informações sobre suas aberturas e bloqueios, os perigos e empecilhos próprios a cada rota, para compreender quem pode passar por onde e quando, e em que condições se pode permanecer. Por fim, sugiro uma crítica etnográfica à associação romântica entre movimento e liberdade, mostrando que o vaivém constante pode ser experimentado como algo duro, obrigatório e indesejável.
Urban Tree Growth Modeling
Authors: McPherson E. Gregory , Peper Paula
Published: November 2021

Selecting, locating, and managing trees to provide ecosystem services are becoming increasingly important facets of municipal and consulting forestry. The science of urban tree growth modeling is fundamental to quantifying these services. This paper describes three longterm tree growth studies conducted to evaluate tree performance because repeated measurements of the same trees produce critical data for growth model calibration and validation. Several empirical and process-based approaches to modeling tree growth are reviewed. Modeling is more advanced in the fields of forestry and pomology than in urban forestry. The USDA Forest Service’s reference city research has developed over 1,800 growth equations from measurements on more than 17,000 trees in 16 cities. The database is a valuable source of information that reflects regional differences in species composition, climate, soils, site conditions, and management practices. Several examples illustrate how differences in local climate and management practices can influence growth of a single species and the resulting value of services. Further advances in urban tree growth modeling are needed to inform the design, management, and modeling of high performing landscapes.
A Survey of Urban Tree Management in New Zealand
Authors: Stobbart Matthew , Johnston Mark
Published: November 2021

Local authorities in New Zealand are responsible for managing many of the publicly owned trees in their district and have a statutory duty to act as an environmental guardian for trees that have a significant amenity or cultural value. No previous research had been completed to investigate, on a national scale, the efficiency and effectiveness of local authority tree management. A survey questionnaire was designed to assess the extent that tree management is planned, systematic, and integrated and to identify the key challenges and limitations local authorities face in managing the urban forest.

A survey questionnaire was sent to each of New Zealand’s 73 local authorities. Thirty questionnaires were returned giving a response rate of 41%. Many local authority tree management programs were found to be operating under difficult conditions and often within severe financial constraints. A lack of basic information about the urban forest was making it difficult for many local authorities to develop meaningful strategies and budgets and was reflected in low levels of planned maintenance. Resource constraints, conflicting priorities, and a lack of public and political support were all highlighted as being significant threats to many tree programs.

This information exchange off happen due to ambushes by various sorts of clients and hubs inside the cloud framework. Henceforth, high security endeavors to build up wellbeing are required to make sure about data inside the distributed storage. On the opposite side, the given security methodology ought to similarly consider the headway of the data recuperation time. Paper will be, In this paper we be proposes Division and Replication of Data in the Cloud stockpiling for Optimal Performance and Security (DROPS) that will be collectivel1y approaches the security and execution issues. In the DROPS technique, according to client input document parceling to areas, and recreate the isolated data on the distributed storage hubs. Every one of the hub store only a little byte part of that document data record that ensures that even in case of a productive ambush, no significant information is reveal to the aggressor. Additional reasoning like, the hubs taking care of the segment is disengaged with partition by the strategy for outlines T-concealing to confine an aggressor of hypothesizing the regions of the segment. At that point, the DROPS System doesn’t rely on client cryptographic framework will be the data security; thusly reducing the game plan of computationally exorbitant methodologies. We show the exhibition that the probability to discover and deal most of the hubs taking care of the area of a single chronicle is to the extraordinary degree low. We in like manner break down the run of the DROPS framework with various plans. The more raised measure of security with an execution overhead was watches.
Discursos de Familiares acerca da Sexualidade de Sujeitos Autistas
Authors: Silva Graziela Mezin da , De Tilio Rafael
Published: November 2021

Os diagnósticos de transtorno do espectro autista aumentaram consideravelmente nos últimos anos e, não raro, sujeitos autistas são considerados por seus familiares como sexualmente infantilizados ou descontrolados – fato este questionado pela psicanálise. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar discursos de familiares sobre a sexualidade de sujeitos autistas. Participaram desta pesquisa dezesseis entrevistados (dois sujeitos autistas, oito mães, três pais, dois irmãos e um avô de sujeitos autistas) todos inseridos em formatos familiares nucleares cujos relatos foram organizados a partir de uma análise de conteúdo temática e analisados a partir da teoria dos quatro discursos de Lacan. Os principais temas e discursos produzidos pelos participantes foram organizados em eixos temáticos que destacaram: as dúvidas e questionamentos justificados pelos descompassos entre o desenvolvimento psicológico, físico e sexual dos sujeitos autistas; a suposição da imaturidade biológica e das inadequações atitudinais dos sujeitos autistas nas questões sexuais; o reforço dos papéis tradicionais de gênero, delegando às mães os cuidados íntimos dos filhos autistas e delegando aos pais o estímulo pela virilidade dos sujeitos autistas do sexo masculino; mas também – principalmente por parte dos irmãos – a possibilidade de os sujeitos autistas vivenciarem suas sexualidades de maneira autônoma, mesmo que referenciados nos esquemas neurotípicos e heterossexuais. Neste sentido, as tensões entre os discursos do mestre e discurso universitário (que pretendem o controle) e o discurso da psicanálise (que aposta na autonomia/singularidade dos sujeitos autistas no campo da sexualidade) se mostraram os mais evidentes nas entrevistas. Por fim, a teoria lacaniana dos quatro discursos se mostrou propicia para compreender a constituição dos laços sociais que organizam as vivências sexuais dos sujeitos autistas.
A Prosperous ‘Cancer Village’
Authors: Pengli Cheng
Published: November 2021

Money, or life? Town and Village Enterprises helped local farmers get
rich quickly, but they also caused serious environmental pollution that
was a threat to people’s health. Through a study of a village in northern
Zhejiang, this chapter shows how, through their daily experiences, villagers
established a logical relationship between industrial pollution and
cancer and came to believe that the incidence of cancer was not only
high, but strongly related to pollution. Facing health risks from pollution,
the villagers initially engaged in resistance, but when this strategy was
unsuccessful, they later switched to less active measures.
