Στον υδροφορέα του Γεροπόταμου Ρεθύμνης στη βόρεια κεντρική ακτή της Κρήτης, εισχωρεί σε ορισμένα σημεία θαλασσινό νερό από το Αιγαίο Πέλαγος, επηρεάζοντας την ποιότητα του υπόγειου νερού που προορίζεται για οικιακή και επαγγελματική χρήση, συμπεριλαμβανομένης και της γεωργίας. Η γεωλογία της περιοχής μελέτης θεωρείται περίπλοκη και η τεκτονική χαρακτηρίζεται από ρήγματα διευθύνσεων ΒΔ-ΝΑ και ΒΑ-ΝΔ. Από τη μελέτη του υδροφορέα με την εφαρμογή της γεωφυσικής ηλεκτρομαγνητικής μεθόδου παροδικών πεδίων (TEM) και της ηλεκτρικής μεθόδου βυθοσκόπισης (VES) προέκυψαν 1D και 2D / 3D μοντέλα, που απεικονίζουν τις υφάλμυρες ζώνες των υπόγειων υδάτων στον υδροφορέα. Συνολικά έλαβαν χώρα 1179 TEM βυθοσκοπήσεις σε 372 σημεία σε κάναβο περίπου 200 μέτρα σε διάσταση Χ και Υ και 3 βυθοσκοπήσεις VES σε τρεις διαφορετικές τοποθεσίες διαφορετικών γεωλογικών συνθηκών. Επιπλέον, πραγματοποιήθηκαν 3 δειγματοληψίες υπόγειου νερού. Σε κάθε δειγματοληψία, αναλύθηκαν δείγματα από 22 γεωτρήσεις και 2 πηγές και προσδιορίστηκαν 16 χημικές παράμετροι. Στη συνέχεια πραγματοποιήθηκε λεπτομερής γεωχημική ανάλυση, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των διαγραμμάτων Piper, Durov, Ternary, Stiff, Wilcox, Διασποράς και τέλος υπολογίστηκαν παράγοντες ελέγχου ποιότητας υπόγειων υδάτων. Η γεωχημική μελέτη είχε πολύ καλά αποτελέσματα και συσχετίστηκε με τα αποτελέσματα από τις γεωφυσικές μεθόδους. Όλα τα δεδομένα εισήχθησαν σε περιβάλλον GIS και παρήχθησαν χάρτες ποιότητας υπογείων υδάτων. Επιπλέον, με την εφαρμογή της Τηλεπισκόπησης, την γεωλογική χαρτογράφηση και τα υδρο-λιθολογικά δεδομένα αποδείχτηκε ότι τα φυσικά χαρακτηριστικά της γεωμορφολογίας και της γεωλογίας έχουν επίσης μεγάλη συσχέτιση με τις χημικές και γεωφυσικές ιδιότητες. Υπάρχουν ισχυρές ενδείξεις ότι η υφαλμύρωση είναι η πιο πιθανή αιτία, σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα αυτής της έρευνας. Υποδεικνύεται ότι η διείσδυση θαλασσινού νερού είναι πιθανό να λαμβάνει χώρα κατά μήκος των ρηγμάτων σε μια ρηξιγενής ζώνη του υποστρώματος φυλλίτη – χαλαζίτη, παρόλο που χαρακτηρίζεται ως αδιαπέρατο, και τονίζεται βέβαια ο σπουδαίος ρόλος της τεκτονικής στα προβλήματα υφαλμύρωσης των παράκτιων υδροφορέων.

Introduction: Patient and public involvement (PPI) aims to improve the quality, relevance, and appropriateness of research and ensure that it meets the needs and expectations of those affected by particular conditions to the greatest possible degree. The evidence base for the positive impact of PPI on clinical research continues to grow, but the role of PPI in preclinical research (an umbrella term encompassing ‘basic’, ‘fundamental’, ‘translational’ or ‘lab-based’ research) remains limited. As funding bodies and policymakers continue to increase emphasis on the relevance of PPI to preclinical research, it is timely to map the PPI literature to support preclinical researchers involving the public, patients, or other service users in their research. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to explore the literature on patient and public involvement in preclinical research from any discipline.

Methods: This scoping review will search the literature in Medline (PubMed), Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and OpenGrey.net to explore the application of PPI in preclinical research. This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for scoping reviews. It will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Two reviewers will independently review articles for inclusion in the final review. Data extraction will be guided by the research questions. The PPI advisory panel will then collaboratively identify themes in the extracted data.

Discussion: This scoping review will provide a map of current evidence surrounding preclinical PPI, and identify the body of literature on this topic, which has not been comprehensively reviewed to date. Findings will inform ongoing work of the research team, support the work of other preclinical researchers aiming to include PPI in their own research, and identify knowledge and practice gaps. Areas for future research will be identified.
Sprachwechsel in der neuesten litauischen Migrations- und Mobilitätsliteratur
Authors: Eidukevičienė Rūta
Published: August 2021

Language Change in the Most Recent Lithuanian Literature of Migration and Mobility. When discussing literary multilingualism within the Lithuanian literary scene, researchers usually refer to different groups of authors. Some were born and socialised abroad immediately after the Second World War, some left Lithuania after 1990, but producing their texts in different linguistic contexts all of them write consistently in one language, English or Lithuanian. In the most recent Lithuanian migration and mobility literature, however, one can observe examples of intra-textual bilingualism or multilingualism, which illustrate the integration problems of Lithuanian (labour) migrants into foreign societies on the one hand and the development of multiple global identities on the other. The paper examines these spreading tendencies focusing on the exemplary novel Stasys Šaltoka (2017) by Gabija Grušaitė and discussing the structure and functions of the intra-textual code-switching. The creative use of language directed against conventional linguistic purism shows that the young generation of Lithuanian authors tends to break language and cultural borders. The authors Unė Kaunaitė, Gabija Grušaitė and others show that the playful use of multilingualism can be subversive, ironic, but at the same time can highlight the problems of language dominance and thus political, social and cultural exclusion, express group mentality, identity changes, etc. The way that Lithuanian literature deals with multilingualism, expressed explicitly or implicitly, reveals the extent to which certain literary texts can be described as transcultural, in line with the current tone of European and global migration and mobility literature.
A. H. Tammsaare’s Epic Musicality
Authors: Merilai Arne
Published: August 2021

A. H. Tammsaare was drawn to the musical tonality of prose. Importantly though, he did not wholeheartedly embrace sound patterning as a mode of writing. Rather, he preferred a semantic widening of ordinary language within a comprehensively holistic “spherical music”. In his novels, we can detect a deliberate use of rhythmic motion in sentences. This is evident primarily in the wealth of lexical and syntactic repetitions resulting in a parallelism of patterns. An obvious, although discreet, rhythmic design emerges in the thesisantithesis- synthesis parataxis the core words of which are the adversative and coordinating conjunctions aga (‘but’), and integrative ometi (‘yet’, ‘indeed’). The frequency with which these bound conjunctions occur in Tammsaare’s work surpasses that of ordinary speech by about four times, and it is twice as high as the statistical mean for literary texts. One might call this expressive of an epic but-mantra, a prose-poetic but-meter, or a narrative polysyndeton, and, from a philosophical point of view, a but-dialectic. Whenever a reader fails to appreciate Tammsaare’s underlying tone and does not discern the emotional flow of longing scepticism that issues from his dyadic-triadic chains, this pervasive, yet inconspicuously arguing, textual mode may seem unduly pretentious. Indeed, there is nothing to prevent a prose text from featuring a poetic style that is rooted in a poetry-like, paradigmatic parallelism as the poetic principle of formal and semantic equivalence.

Ciudadanías ciudadanas: un estudio exploratorio sobre representaciones sociales de la ciudadanía en Francia y Colombia
Authors: Ayola Betancourt Valeria
Published: August 2021

¿De qué manera los colombianos y franceses se representan la noción de ciudadanía? El presente artículo es el producto de este amplio cuestionamiento, donde la noción de ciudadanía deja de ser estudiada en su dimensión normativa o formal, para ser interrogada desde las representaciones que suscita en los ciudadanos comunes. A través de un ejercicio de asociación de palabras y con la ayuda de la estadística textual, se comparan las representaciones de un grupo de franceses y colombianos sobre lo que significa la noción de ciudadanía, en una encuesta exploratoria y no representativa. Los resultados resaltan la zona de consenso de la ciudadanía, a la vez que describen las particularidades encontradas entre los encuestados con relación a la nacionalidad declarada.

Influence of upper limb training and analyzed muscles on estimate of physical activity during cereal grinding using saddle quern and rotary quern
Authors: Struška Michal , Hora Martin , Rocek Thomas R. , Sládek Vladimír
Published: August 2021

Experimental grinding has been used to study the relationship between human humeral robusticity and cereal grinding in the early Holocene. However, such replication studies raise two questions regarding the robusticity of the results: whether female nonathletes used in previous research are sufficiently comparable to early agricultural females, and whether previous analysis of muscle activation of only four upper limb muscles is sufficient to capture the stress of cereal grinding on upper limb bones. We test the influence of both of these factors. Electromyographic activity of eight upper limb muscles was recorded during cereal grinding in an athletic sample of 10 female rowers and in 25 female nonathletes and analyzed using both an eight- and four-muscle model. Athletes had lower activation than nonathletes in the majority of measured muscles, but except for posterior deltoid these differences were non-significant. Furthermore, both athletes and nonathletes had lower muscle activation during saddle quern grinding than rotary quern grinding suggesting that the nonathletes can be used to model early agricultural females during saddle and rotary quern grinding. Similarly, in both eight- and four-muscle models, upper limb loading was lower during saddle quern grinding than during rotary quern grinding, suggesting that the upper limb muscles may be reduced to the previously used four-muscle model for evaluation of the upper limb loading during cereal grinding. Another implication of our measurements is to question the assumption that skeletal indicators of high involvement of the biceps brachii muscle can be interpreted as specifically indicative of saddle quern grinding.
A qualitative exploration of young people’s experiences of attempted suicide in the context of alcohol and substance use
Authors: Guest Rebecca , Copello Alex , Michail Maria
Published: August 2021

The aim of this study was to explore young people’s experiences of the role and the processes underpinning the use of alcohol and/or other substances in attempts to end their life. Seven young people, aged 16–25 years old, were interviewed using in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse these interviews and develop an understanding of how young people understand their attempted suicide in the context of alcohol and/or other substance use. The analysis identified four superordinate themes reflecting young people’s experiences across the seven interviews. Superordinate themes included: i) The complexity of relationships; ii) The double-edged sword of alcohol and substance use; iii) The straw that broke the camel’s back; and iv) Reflecting on the on-going processes of recovery. The results of this study highlight the complex and multifaceted functions of the consumption of alcohol, and other drugs, in the experiences of young people attempting suicide. Young people described a number of inter and intrapersonal factors which impact upon their suicidal experiences including suicidal ideation and attempts. Participants reported using alcohol and substances as methods of coping with distress, low mood, hearing voices, anxiety and mania. However they also reflected on the impact that this has on their own suicidal ideation and attempts.
La religión como instrumento de manipulación político-militar en Roma durante la Segunda Guerra Púnica
Authors: Díaz Sánchez Carlos
Published: August 2021

La religión ha sido utilizada reiteradamente como instrumento de manipulación política a lo largo de la historia. Durante la Segunda Guerra Púnica se pueden resaltar un gran número de hechos, tales como sanciones en los tratados o en los prodigia, que sirvieron para legitimar una causa o promocionar a diversos personajes. La instrumentalización de la religión realizada por los Bárquida durante la guerra fue neutralizada a través de un rico entramado propagandístico-ideológico romano que influyó en muchas de las actitudes de la sociedad tiberina cuya observación nos permite analizar cómo se produjo dicha manipulación romana en este periodo.
La prodigiosa fuente de asfalto ardiente en Apolonia, las Ninfas, el oráculo de Pan, y la visita de Cornelio Sila
Authors: Perea Yébenes Sabino
Published: August 2021

En Apolonia, en la región de Iliria, hay un lugar sagrado que es conocido desde el siglo IV a. C. por varias fuentes antiguas. Lo singular del sitio es que hay una fuente de asfalto que arde continuamente. En relación con este pozo, hay un manteion de Pan y un Ninfeo, donde también se realizan pronósticos pirománticos. Analizamos las fuentes literarias y numismáticas para aclarar el sentido del Ninfeo y del manteion. Este último fue visitado por Sila en el año 84 con poco éxito.
Delfos en las aventuras coloniales espartanas del Arcaísmo, I. Falanto y las tradiciones sobre la ktisis de Tarento
Authors: Fornis César , Jara Javier
Published: August 2021

En la época arcaica los espartanos apenas toman parte activa en el fenómeno colonizador griego. Según la tradición dominante, su única fundación, Taras (Tarento), daba solución a los problemas internos causados en la metrópoli por los llamados partenias, hijos ilegítimos nacidos durante la primera guerra mesenia a los que se había privado de la ciudadanía plena y del acceso a la tierra que conlleva. En el presente trabajo analizamos cómo, en el marco de la privilegiada relación simbiótica que mantuvieron Delfos y Esparta, el santuario contribuyó decisivamente con oráculos ex eventu tanto a la legitimación de una ktisis debida a un grupo marginal como al proceso de heroización de su oikistes, Falanto.
A dinastia valentiniana na Historiae adversus paganos de Orósio (VII, 32-35)
Authors: Pohlmann Janira Feliciano
Published: August 2021

Mais de vinte anos após a morte de Valentiniano II, Orósio elaborou e propagou diferentes imagens para os imperadores da dinastia valentiniana. Através de análises realizadas na obra Historiae adversus paganos, escrita pelo presbítero no século V d.C., podemos conhecer um pouco destes personagens e, especialmente, perceber as mensagens que o autor desejava transmitir ao seu público. Sendo assim, o interesse deste artigo centra-se em saber de que maneira, através da retórica de Orósio, os indivíduos da dinastia valentiniana foram interpretados e que fatos o presbítero julgou serem pertinentes à redação de sua obra.
La biografía cristiana entre realidad y retórica: El caso de Gaudencio de Brescia
Authors: Setién García Carla
Published: August 2021

La biografía cristiana de los primeros siglos se caracterizaba principalmente por presentar los aspectos que hacían del biografiado un hombre santo, lo cual conllevaba, ineludiblemente, exageraciones y relatos artificiosos. En este trabajo se examina una de las primeras biografías, si no la primera, del norte de Italia. Fue escrita por Gaudencio de Brescia en el primer decenio del siglo V para conmemorar a Filastrio, predecesor suyo en la sede episcopal. Un detallado análisis histórico-filológico de este escrito junto con el de la obra del propio Filastrio y otras fuentes de la época nos permiten averiguar la historicidad de los orígenes y circunstancias vitales de este. Entre estas destacan su predicación ambulante por amplios territorios, la lucha contra el arrianismo en la ciudad de Milán y, finalmente, su labor en la constitución definitiva de la primitiva comunidad cristiana en Brescia.
Herejes espectrales, judíos hermenéuticos y ángeles celestiales para instruir cristianos. El De uirginitate de Ildefonso de Toledo
Authors: Castro Dolores , Laham Cohen Rodrigo
Published: August 2021

De uirginitate Sanctae Mariae de Ildefonso de Toledo ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios, especialmente dedicados a establecer su finalidad y audiencia. Las principales perspectivas han oscilado entre reconocer como destinatarios a judíos, a cristianos que habían sido judíos o a cristianos sin pasado judío. En este marco historiográfico, nuestra propuesta consiste en considerar al De uirginitate como parte de una estrategia pedagógica destinada principalmente a instruir al clero y, por extensión, a la comunidad cristiana en general. Desde esta perspectiva, herejes y judíos funcionaron como verdaderas herramientas educativas que, al identificar el error, enseñaban los pilares de la doctrina cristiana y contribuían a la afirmación de la unidad e identidad de las comunidades que integraban el reino visigodo.
Effect of mangrove leaf extract (Acanthus ilicifolius) on non-specific immune status and vibriosis resistance of black tiger shrimps (Penaeus monodon) challenged with Vibrio harveyi
Authors: Saptiani Gina , Prayitno Slamet Budi , Anggarawati Sari
Published: August 2021

Background and Aim: There has been continuous effort to search for alternative medicinal plants that are applicable to ameliorate viral disease on shrimp pond. This study aimed to examine the effect of Acanthus ilicifolius leaf extract on clinical symptoms and non-specific immune response of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

Materials and Methods: A total of 330 shrimps were equally assigned into three extract forms (crude extract, ethyl acetate extract, and n-butanol extract, respectively) in which three levels were provided for each extract. Negative control (without leaf extract) and positive control (with oxytetracycline at 0.05 mg/mL) were used, giving a total of 11 experimental treatments.

Results: The results showed that shrimps induced into all form of leaf extracts had significantly higher survival rates, clinical symptoms, and pathological anatomy than those negative control (C–) and positive control (C+). Total hemocyte cells, granulocytes, percentage of phagocytic, and prophenoloxidase activity were similar among leaf extract treatments (p>0.05), but those groups were significantly higher than those of C– and C+ (p<0.05).

Conclusion: n-butanol leaf extract at 300 mg/L is suggested to be the most effective treatment since it showed the highest efficacy on the parameters observed. Thus, it is possible to use the leaf extract of A. ilicifolius on-farm as a strategy to enhance bacterial disease resistance and prevent mortality.

Published: August 2021

The water pressure monitoring system in the PDAM pipeline networks has been successfully developed for operation and maintenance of water leaks in a real-time manner. This research aims to design a water pressure monitoring system in operational piping networks to identify anomalies as early as possible. The system is built using a microcontroller, a 1.2 MPa fluid pressure sensor and a control system equipped with a GSM wireless communication module, an Analog to Digital Converter module with 16-bit resolution, a real-time clock peripheral, an OLED display 128x64, and a micro SD card. The developed system was tested in a pressure range of 0.200 - 0.800 bar with 30 repetitions with a RMSE of 0.058 bar. This system has a deterministic coefficient of 0.885 against a standard manometer. The system implemented in the field successfully sends data to the server with a success rate of 96.0%. Data is displayed on a monitoring dashboard that can be accessed via a computer or smartphone.

The objective of this study is to develop and test a patient telemonitoring system. This study was encouraged by the high number of health workers fatalities in Indonesia due to physical contact without proper protection. Based on the symptoms of COVID-19 it consists of electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, body temperature sensors, respiratory rate sensors, and pulse oximeter. The physiological data were captured by the sensors and collected by a microcontroller then it sends the data to a cloud system so that health workers can access the data. The experiments were performed to test both the offline and online protocol to compare data sent via a direct connection and data sent via Wi-Fi. In the offline testing, there were several limitations observed such as the low sampling frequency of the ECG signals that reduce the fidelity of the signals. Such problems were also observed on respiratory rate data. Furthermore, the system is also very prone to subjects’ movement-related noise. The measurements of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and body temperature, on the other hand, have been detected the slight change up to 0.1% and 0.5oC respectively. In the online testing, the data transmission to the cloud is sent per 30 seconds so that morphologically the ECG signal data are not representative. The system requires a lot of improvements and future study should be directed to improve signals acquisition and processing while maintaining the concept of low-cost. Design improvement should also include a better attachment design to the human body as well as greater data transmission for the online system.

Authors: Agustian Indra , Daratha Novalio , Faurina Ruvita , Suandi Agus , Sulistyaningsih Sulistyaningsih
Published: August 2021

This paper presents the development of vision-based robotic arm manipulator control by applying Proportional Derivative-Pseudoinverse Jacobian (PD-PIJ) kinematics and Denavit Hartenberg forward kinematics. The task of sorting objects based on color is carried out to observe error propagation in the implementation of manipulator on real system. The objects image captured by the digital camera were processed based on HSV-color model and the centroid coordinate of each object detected were calculated. These coordinates are end effector position target to pick each object and were placed to the right position based on its color. Based on the end effector position target, PD-PIJ inverse kinematics method was used to determine the right angle of each joint of manipulator links. The angles found by PD-PIJ is the input of DH forward kinematics. The process was repeated until the square end effector reached the target. The experiment of model and implementation to actual manipulator were analyzed using Probability Density Function (PDF) and Weibull Probability Distribution. The result shows that the manipulator navigation system had a good performance. The real implementation of color sorting task on manipulator shows the probability of success rate cm is 94.46% for euclidian distance error less than 1.2 cm.
Wnt Pathway Regulation by DOT1L Mediated Methylation of H3K79 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Ramesh Gautam , Reno Theresa , Kim Jae , Raz Dan
Published: August 2021

The Wnt pathway is a developmental pathway that is abnormally upregulated in cancer. Our current lab results suggest that decreased H3K79 methylation levels are associated with decreased DNMT1 activity and binding to the WIF1 5’ region, upregulation of WIF1 protein levels, and suppression of Wnt signaling in lung cancer cell lines. We therefore hypothesize that the silencing of the WIF1 gene seen in many lung cancers involves upregulation of H3K79 methylation. We aim to knock down DOT1L and AF10, H3K79me3 mediators, to diminish Wnt expression in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). NSCLC lines including the A549 and H460 lines will be transfected with shRNAs for DOT1L and AF10; Western blotting will be used to confirm knockdown of DOT1L, AF10, and WIF1 expression. Wnt signaling will be measured by TOPFlash reporter assay, and by western blotting of nuclear β-catenin from total and fractionated cell lysates. We will then measure lung cancer cell growth, apoptosis and senescence.
Projection art and projection activism
Authors: Buchanan Andy , Buchanan Andy
Published: August 2021

This article explores the use of unauthorised projection-based artworks and messages as a form of activism, and as contextual street art. The issues of authority and permission that are central to the political nature of street art are unique in the case of projection artworks as the ephemeral and temporary nature of light-based installations skirt some of the fundamental objections to most street art and graffiti such as the damage to physical surfaces. Through the changes imposed on urban forms by light projections, the city is described as an animate entity, with various forces animating the surface at different timescales. The effect of street art is to democratise the alterations of the animate urban surface, and the effect of projection-based street art is to further democratise access to protected visual spaces, and to accelerate its animate nature.
The EU in multilateral environmental compliance mechanisms: an outside view
Authors: Hollaus Birgit
Published: August 2021

With reference to its unique characteristics, the European Union (EU) regularly requests a special position in treaty cooperation or external judicial control mechanisms. Recurrently, these requests are successful and lead to the EU being treated differently from other treaty parties. These situations have been captured by the concept of ‘European exceptionalism’. EU requests for special treatment can also be witnessed in the supportive and facilitative procedures of compliance mechanisms in international environmental law. In those mechanisms, however, EU requests for special treatment are subject to careful scrutiny, and are even met with strong opposition by treaty institutions and treaty partners. Taking a closer look at the EU’s participation in compliance mechanisms, the present article discusses how certain unique EU characteristics may prompt an EU request for special treatment under compliance mechanisms and explores how compliance institutions and treaty partners have treated existing requests so far. With this outside perspective of non-EU actors, it is possible to understand where such requests can be successful and where they fail to be. In this way, the insights gained permit reflection upon the EU’s participation in compliance mechanisms and whether it truly constitutes a further phenomenon of ‘European exceptionalism’.
EU Law in investment arbitration: a view from international arbitral tribunals
Authors: Särkänne Katariina
Published: August 2021

The conflict between international investment law and EU law provides fruitful insights into how the arbitral tribunals, acting outside the EU’s judicial system, have viewed the EU and EU law. Taking as an example the topical questions of the principle of autonomy of EU law as well as the EU’s State aid rules in investor-State arbitration, the article discusses how arbitral tribunals have seen the role of EU law and how they have treated the opposite demands from the two legal regimes. The claim of EU law rendering the intra-EU investment treaties invalid has constantly proved unsuccessful, and the tribunals have maintained their jurisdiction to be based on international law. However, the possibility of EU law affecting the assessment of the merits of the cases is clearer and more accepted. While harmonious interpretation could somewhat alleviate the remaining conflicts between the two legal regimes, it is unlikely that either regime would compromise the core elements of their systems. The article argues that, for the specific nature of the EU’s legal order to be secured in a way that does not conflict with international law, the relationship between EU law, international (investment) law and investment dispute settlement should be clearly regulated in instruments of international law.

Existe uma Cultura Literária Lésbica?
Authors: Gomyde Monalisa Almeida Cesetti
Published: August 2021

O intuito deste artigo é questionar a existência de uma cultura literária lésbica, desde a abordagem materialista de Monique Wittig (1992) acerca da categoria lésbica. A situação das mulheres no patriarcado será caracterizada por meio dos conceitos de colonização oferecidos por Alfredo Bosi (1992) e Claudia Von Werlhof (2015). Posteriormente, lésbicas serão posicionadas como fugitivas do regime colonizador heterossexual do patriarcado e sua criação literária como proveniente de uma cultura resistente à colonização masculina.

Este trabalho objetivou analisar a dinâmica espacial e temporal dos registros de produtores orgânicos e das entidades certificadoras na Bahia, no período de 2014-2020, considerando os dados relativos aos Territórios de Identidade – TIs e à natureza do processo de certificação. Foram realizadas consultas bibliográficas, coletas de dados do Cadastro Nacional de Produtores Orgânicos e elaboração de mapas comparativos sobre os dados coletados. Constatou-se que, entre 2015 e 2017, a média anual de crescimento de novos produtores cadastrados foi de 43%; entre 2018 e 2020, caiu para 4%, coincidindo com um novo cenário político, que trouxe como marco no âmbito da agropecuária nacional, o fim do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário e a ampliação e flexibilização do mercado de agrotóxicos. Os TIs Litoral Sul e Baixo Sul, na região cacaueira, foram os que apresentaram mais produtores orgânicos cadastrados; e os TIs que apresentaram menos cadastros foram Bacia do Rio Grande, Velho Chico, Bacia do Rio Corrente e Bacia do Paramirim, no extremo oeste, região dominada por sojicultura e cotonicultura. Os produtores orgânicos certificados por Sistemas Participativos de Garantia e Controle Social na Venda Direta, chegaram a representar 68% do total de cadastros em 2018 e 2019. Concluiu-se que há a necessidade de fortalecimento, no Estado da Bahia, dos Sistemas de Participativos de Garantia em processos de planejamento ambiental e territorial, apontando também a necessidade aprimorar o diagnóstico e a disponibilidade de dados sobre as áreas de produção orgânica. Além disso, na maior parte dos TIs do Estado, há lacunas que geram uma demanda de ações de Assistência Técnica Rural e pesquisas científicas voltadas à produção orgânica.
Savoirs d’autrui : la décentration et l’éducation libérale
Authors: Coppens François , Van Neck Raphaël
Published: August 2021

Nous mettons en lumière une tension qui est essentielle à l’acte d’enseigner et qui apparaît de manière privilégiée dans les pratiques de décentration. Celles-ci sont approchées dans le cadre de formations professionnalisantes en kinésithérapie et en éducation spécialisée. Nous verrons ici qu’à travers les pratiques de confrontation à l’altérité, dans ces formations à la relation d’aide et de soin, peut aussi se jouer une ambition qui est constitutive de la tradition d’éducation libérale. La perspective proposée ici est que loin de s’opposer, les visées professionnalisantes et l’ambition libérale de l’éducation peuvent au contraire s’articuler dans une pédagogie attentive aux conditions effectives de la liberté.

Authors: Badets Alexandra
Published: August 2021

L’école d’ingénieurs de CESI a mis en place l’Apprentissage Actif Par Projets (A2P2) dans sa formation d’ingénieurs depuis octobre 2015. Dans cette formation en alternance, l’apprentissage à l’école est articulé autour de projets pluridisciplinaires à réaliser en groupes. Dans cet article, nous nous proposons de questionner les défis et les atouts du travail de groupe dans le développement d’une identité professionnelle des apprenants. Au centre de cette interrogation se trouve l’articulation entre les dispositions des apprenants et le dispositif de formation. Une double approche d’analyse d’entretiens avec un échantillon de 25 apprenants, et de statistiques explicatives à l’échelle d’une cohorte de 587 apprenants est employée.

Se former en ligne au Tutorat : un défi pour les assistants-chercheurs
Authors: Labrique Sophie , Ducarme Delphine , Raucent Benoît
Published: August 2021

L’École Polytechnique de Louvain (EPL) propose depuis de nombreuses années une formation en présentiel pour les étudiants de master. Ils sont appelés les tuteurs et ils encadrent des étudiants de première année dans des enseignements de types : travaux pratiques, apprentissages par problèmes (APP), des projets, apprentissages par exercices (APE), des laboratoires. Une formation en ligne a été créée pour un public d’assistants-chercheurs aux rôles du tuteur. Cette formation hybride intitulée « Tutorer l’Apprentissage en Groupe (TAG) » vise à permettre aux assistants-chercheurs novices et expérimentés de se questionner sur leurs manières d’enseigner pour les améliorer. Nous analysons particulièrement ici les interventions des tuteurs qui encadrent la formation en ligne et leurs impacts pour l’apprentissage. Suite à l’analyse des interventions faites en ligne et en présentiel, et plus précisément en regardant les effets de ces interventions sur le plan métacognitif (réflexivité), nous constatons un besoin patent de la présence du tuteur humain de manière plus régulière au sein de la formation que nous proposons. Ce besoin se manifeste par un sentiment d’isolement de la part des assistants les premières semaines, du besoin de se sentir appartenir à un groupe, de connaître les réflexions des autres pour être motivés à apprendre, et ce, même si tous les assistants évoquent que la formation, de par son dispositif, permet très clairement de se questionner sur ses pratiques de tuteur de manière continue pour les améliorer.
Hydrodynamic Model and Tidal Current Energy Potential in Lepar Strait, Indonesia
Authors: Ajiwibowo Harman , Pratama Munawir Bintang
Published: August 2021

Previous studies have shown the abundance of tidal energy resources in Indonesia. However, some sites have yet to be considered. The Lepar Strait, for example, is located between Bangka and Lepar Islands. This paper describes a field survey and numerical modelling conducted in the Lepar Strait. The modelling was performed using Delft3D, with the aim of determining potential sites for harvesting tidal current energy and estimate the generated power. In the modelling, the domain decomposition method was employed for model downscaling, allowing grid resolution reaching 130 x 130 m2, which is sufficient to represent the narrow gaps between tiny islands in the area of interest. The National Bathymetric (Batnas) from the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) tide constituents were applied for the bathymetry and tide elevation boundaries. The comparison between the surveyed and modelled data showed a good agreement. The RMSE and r for water level are > 0.95 and < 0.15, and the RMSE for velocity was <0.19. Furthermore, an energetic flow reaching 1.5 m/s was found at the Northern part of Lepar Strait, situated at the narrow gaps. The Gorlov Helical Turbine was selected in this study due to shallow water and low mean velocity. In the 2019 model, the power density and power output at the best potential sites were 2,436.94 kWh/m2 and 1,870.41 kWh, respectively. This number is higher than those previously found in Kelabat Bay. Nonetheless, it is still far below the currently promising project in Larantuka and Lombok Straits. Future research is recommended, to conduct a detailed field measurement campaign and assess the impact of energy extraction in more detail.

Authors: Dewi Nur Setiawati , Jittanoon Piyanuch , Wiroonpanich Wantanee
Published: August 2021

Background: Parenting talented youths is a challenging task since most talented youths experience role complexities in their lives. Thus, raising talented youths can lead to increased challenges of parenting.Purpose: This study aimed to explore the challenges faced by Javanese Muslim parents in promoting the well-being of talented youths.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological approach was chosen to guide this study. Thirteen Javanese Muslim parents of talented youth (nine men and three women) were recruited using snowball and purposive sampling techniques. The data were obtained by conducting semi-structured interviews and field notes. The collected data were transcribed using verbatim transcription and analyzed using Giorgi’s method of analysis.Results: Three themes were found after data analysis, i.e., challenges coming from the youths, challenges from the community, and the existence of financial constraints in the family. Challenges coming from the youth were related to the oppositional behavior of talented youths and difficulties in managing children’s activities as students and as talented youths. Challenges from the community included low commitment and belittling behavior from teachers or lecturers, ridicule from their neighbors, gender-based discrimination, and the absence of support from the organization. Another theme was related to financial constraints in the family which made it difficult for parents to finance their youth’s education and talent activities.Conclusion: Identifying the actual problems experienced by the talented youths’ parents could help nurses develop appropriate family programs, consider, and incorporate holistic aspects into the programs to obtain optimal results.

Published: August 2021

Background: Nurse lecturers play a vital role in producing professional and competent nurses through teaching and practicing in universities. It is challenging for clinical nurse experts to adapt to being nurse lecturers in the university for local development. Exploring this transitional experience is essential to learn how nurses adapt themselves to their new roles.Purpose: This study aimed to describe the transitional experiences from clinical nurse experts to novice nurse lecturers in the context of the university for local development.Methods: The Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology was used as a research methodology. The purposive sampling was utilized to select eight novice nurse lecturers as participants. Data were ethically collected using in-depth interviews, observations, field records, and voice recordings. The collected data were then transcribed verbatim, and a thematic analysis based on van Manen’s method was applied for data analysis.Results: The findings showed five major themes and four sub-themes, including: (1) Reasons for becoming a nurse lecturer in the university for local development, consisting of having a successful career and desiring to serve the community in their hometown; (2) Learning to work by relying on themselves; (3) Learning and teaching through an offered service for local development; (4) Seeking support, consisting of focusing on students as moral support and asking for recommendations from colleagues; and (5) Confidently moving forward.Conclusion: Understanding transitional experience from clinical nurse experts to novice nurse lecturers in the university for local development is very challenging, especially in managing difficulties in the role transition. It is expected that nursing schools provide an effective orientation and mentorship programs to help nurse lecturers promote their role transition efficiently.

The Role of Entrepreneurial Performance in Supporting Economic Development of Countries: An Empirical Approach
Authors: Rusu Valentina Diana , Roman Angela
Published: August 2021

Entrepreneurship is recognized as one of the factors stimulating economic growth and increasing economic competitiveness. In addition, the Europe 2020 Strategy has focused its attention on entrepreneurship as a key factor of economic growth, social progress, and employment. In this context, our study examines the role of entrepreneurial performance for sustaining the development of countries, focusing on a sample of European countries. We attempt to reveal if increasing entrepreneurial performance would have significant influence on improving the economic position of countries and their future economic development. Starting from the OECD-Eurostat Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme we use a set of entrepreneurial performance indicators as independent variables and examine to what extent they can influence competitiveness and economic growth, seen as dependent variables of the models. We focus on a period of 10 years (2008–2017) and we apply panel-data estimation techniques. Because the period considered includes the period of the last international financial crisis, we also include in our analysis a dummy variable. Our results emphasize that the changes in entrepreneurial performance play a significant role in enhancing national competitiveness and economic growth. Our findings contribute to the expansion of literature in the field by providing evidence on the correlation of indicators that measure entrepreneurial performance with national competitiveness and economic growth. Moreover, our findings point out the need of the policy makers to adopt measures and policies that help and stimulate entrepreneurs to become more performant because they can generate positive effects to the economy as a whole.
