Plurality of Points of Views and knowing of a Plural Reality
Authors: Compagnone Claude
Published: May 2021

El objetivo de éste artículo es dar cuenta de la manera por la cual las concepciones plurales de la realidad son inherentes al proceso de conocimiento. Asimismo, el artículo apunta a mostrar de qué manera los distintos puntos de vista de los actores sobre ésta realidad son social y materialmente situados. Apoyándose en el enfoque de J.-P. Darré , el neo-pragmatismo de H. Putnam, así como en los aportes de lingüistas y psicólogos, el presente trabajo ilumina la manera en la cual la relación entre realidad y conocimiento puede establecerse. El artículo destaca que la verdad depende de la adecuación del conocimiento a la realidad y pone en relieve las propiedades interactivas de las cosas. Finalmente, permite revelar la naturaleza social de las concepciones y discute, a partir de la noción de punto de vista de A. Schütz, la caracterización social de estos puntos de vista.

The purpose of this article is to report the way in which the plural understandings of reality are inherent to the process of knowledge production. It alsoaims to show what it means that actors’ point of view are socially and materially situated. Relying on J.-P. Darré’s approach, Putnam’s pragmatism, as well as on linguists’ and psychologists’ works, it highlights how the relationship between reality and knowledge may be understood. It underlines that truth depends on the adequacy of knowledge to reality and emphasizes the interactional features of things. Then, it focuses on the social nature of understanding and discusses the social characterization of points of view, drawing on A. Schütz’s works.

Le but de cet article est de rendre compte de la façon dont desconceptions plurielles de la réalité sont inhérentes au processus de connaissance.Il vise aussi à montrer comment on peut entendre que les points de vue des acteurs sur cette réalité sont socialement et objectivement situés. S’appuyant sur l’approche de J.-P. Darré, sur le néopragmatisme de H. Putnam, ainsi que sur les travaux de linguistes et de psychologues, il éclaircit la façon dont on peut entendre le rapport qui peut être établi entre réalité et connaissance. Il souligne que la vérité dépend de l’adéquation de la connaissance à la réalité et met en valeur les propriétés interactionnelles des choses. Il fait ensuite apparaître la nature sociale des conceptions et discute, à partir de la notion de point de vue de A. Schütz, de la caractérisation sociale de ces points de vue.
Das Axiale Zeitalter: Eine Rückkehr zur Bearbeitung des Konzeptes von S. N. Eisenstadt
Authors: Piettre Renée Koch
Published: May 2021

Wir besprechen die Relevanz des Axialen Alter‑Begriffes von S.  N.  Eisenstadt in seiner Anwendung an Griechenland. Nach Eisenstadt war Griechenland, trotz seiner Philosophen, nicht idealistisch genug geblieben, um völlig ins axiale Alter hereinzukommen. Wir zeigen, dass die östlichen Einflüsse, sowohl in der Hellenistischen Ära, als auch als die Griechen das Phönizier‑Schreiben anpassten, immer durch die Griechen ihren eigenen Traditionen untergeordnet worden sind.

We discuss the relevance of the axial age concept of Eisenstadt in its application to Ancient Greece. According to Eisenstadt, Greece, despite its philosophers, had remained not idealistic enough to enter fully into the axial age. Recalling the diffusionist theory of A.  Hocart and Levi‑Strauss’ structuralism, we show that the Oriental influences, both in the Hellenistic era and since the Greeks adapted the Phoenician writing, have always been subordinated by the Greeks to their own traditions.

Nous discutons la pertinence du concept d’âge axial chez Eisenstadt appliqué à la Grèce ancienne. Selon Eisenstadt, la Grèce, malgré ses philosophes, était restée trop peu idéaliste pour entrer pleinement dans l’âge axial. Rappelant le diffusionnisme de Hocart et le structuralisme de Lévi-Strauss, nous montrons que les influences orientales, tant à l’époque hellénistique que dès l’adaptation de l’écriture phénicienne, ont toujours été subordonnées par les Grecs à leurs traditions propres.

Published: May 2021

This study is an empirical work on the relationship between risk-taking and resilience of food and beverage manufacturing firms in south-south Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, while primary data was collected via the administration of a structured questionnaire. 321 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and 297 copies were retrieved showing 93% retrieval rate. Data analysis was carried out with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The result of the analysis affirmed the alternate hypotheses which stated that risk-taking positively correlates with the measures of organizational resilience. Thus, concluded that risk-taking promotes resilience of the food and beverage manufacturing firms in south-south Nigeria. The study also recommended that top executives of organizations should not be risk averse but willing and open to risk taking such that could benefit and advance their position within the organization and also contribute to an overall advantage for the organization.
THE LEGAL PRACTITIONERS PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE IN NIGERIA: EVALUATION OF THE GENERAL LIABILITY AND IMMUNITY AFFORDED ON LEGAL PRACTITIONERS IN THE CONDUCT OF THEIR CLIENT’S CASE
Authors:   LAW LECTURER II, CENTRE FOR FOUNDATION EDUCATION, BELLS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY OTA, NIGERIA, Odeyinde Oluwakemi
Published: May 2021

This paper reviews the legal practitioner’s professional negligence in Nigeria and the rule of law exempting lawyers from liability for negligence in the conduct of proceedings in court, tribunal or other body. The introduction reminds us of the historical development of the legal profession. It examines the concept of professional negligence which involves misconduct or malpractice in the course of practicing one’s profession. The law places more responsibility on the professional in the exercise of judgment. Therefore the standard of care expected of a professional is high. The general rule is that a legal practitioner can be held liable for professional negligence. He may also be found guilty of professional misconduct or malpractice where he contravenes any of the rules of professional conduct. However, there exists a law in Nigeria that grants immunity to legal practitioners from negligent acts in the conduct of their client’s case. This paper explores the origin of the lawyer's immunity. It argues that the exemption granted lawyers in respect of court proceedings does not help the fallen standards of the legal profession in Nigeria. As a result, there is a general consensus among writers as to the removal of the immunity clause. Therefore, this paper examines the various advocates for the removal of the lawyer’s immunity and suggests a reconsideration for its possible removal. This paper concludes with a recommendation for a more pragmatic approach to maintaining the standards of the Legal Profession. The term professional negligence is used interchangeably with professional misconduct or malpractice.
MULTI-GROUP MODELING OF PROTECTION AGAINST NEUTRON AND GAMMA RADIATION BY MATERIALS BASED ON TITANIUM HYDRIDE
Authors: Yastrebinsky Roman N. , Karnaukhov Alexander A.
Published: May 2021

The paper provides a comparative calculation of the radiation protective efficiency of various composite materials based on titanium hydride using multi-group modeling methods using the ANISN program. The calculations showed the high efficiency of titanium hydride composites with respect to neutron and gamma radiation. The relaxation length of the fast neutron flux density in titanium hydride materials is 5.1…7.0 cm. The spatial-energy distribution of neutron radiation in materials is formed by fast neutrons. The dose rate of gamma rays behind the material is determined mainly by capturing gamma rays arising in the initial layer of protection. Introduction to the composition of the protection of boron atoms reduces the level of capture gamma radiation, but does not affect the attenuation of fast neutrons.

The process of vacuum-arc deposition of protective coatings from multicomponent FeCrAl cathodes and 18Cr10NiT stainless steel onto fragments of Zr1Nb alloy claddings has been developed. The influence of the reaction atmosphere (vacuum, nitrogen, oxygen) during the deposition of coatings on their structure, mechanical and corrosion properties is investigated. Coatings deposited in vacuum from the Cr18Ni10T cathode have the best set of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; whereas coatings based on FeCrAl require composition optimization. It has been established that coatings deposited from FeCrAl and stainless steel cathodes with a thickness of 20 μm significantly increase oxidation resistance and prevent the destruction of fuel cladding under exposure to air at 1150 °C for 1 h.

One of the main requirements to carbon materials is their purity. The authors have proposed and experimentally tested a new method for vacuum-thermal refining of carbon materials using NaCl vapor as an activator. It is experimentally confirmed that this method allows increasing the refining process efficiency and decreasing the energy consumption. The proposed method can be an alternative to modern methods of chlorine- and fluorine thermal refining that permits to exclude the use of hazardous reagents.

Tarih toplumların yaşadıklarını ve gerçekleştirdiklerini tasvir eden bilim olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Onun sayesinde insan geçmişini bilmekle kalmaz, geçmişini ve bugününü göz önünde bulundurarak geleceğini inşa etmek olanağına sahip olabilmektedir. Bunun için de tarihi olguların iyi bir şekilde araştırılması, okunması ve yorumlanması gerekmektedir. Her sosyal bilimde olduğu gibi tarih yazıcılığında da birçok sorunlarla karşılaşmak mümkündür. Karşılaşılan sorunların başında tarihi olgunun yanlış veya öznel analizi gelmektedir. Bir olgunun yanlış veya taraflı yorumu söz konusu olguya ilişkin gerçeklerin anlaşılmasına engel olmaktadır. Tarih araştırmalarının sonucuna menfi tesir edebilen söz konusu durum, düşünürler tarafından da kabul edilmektedir. Bu yüzden düşünürler taraflılığın göz ardı edilemeyeceğini belirtmektedirler. Ama bununla birlikte yine de belli oranda öznellik veya taraflılık sorununun önüne geçilebileceğini de vurgulamaktadırlar. Düşünürler bu amaç doğrultusunda birtakım yöntem geliştirmişlerdir. Bu çalışmadaki esas gaye tarih araştırmalarında taraflılığın önüne geçebilmek için hangi yöntemlerin benimsenilmesi gerektiğini düşünürlerin görüşlerinden hareketle felsefe ve tarih bağlamında temellendirmektir.

The purpose of this study is to gain insight about the credibility of Turkish news channels from the perspectives of Turkish Elites. This research aims to determine the credibility of these Turkish news channels in terms of Turkish elites by testing these channels according to some determined criteria regarding their importance in the media and to specify their commitment to the credibility standards determined in accordance with the literature on media. In this regard, measurement of credibility was identified to be the criterion for determining commitment level to credibility. The problem of the study was to what extent Turkish satellite news channels committed to the credibility from the perspective of Turkish elites. The research was designed to be a descriptive and interpretive study. A questionnaire was administered to Turkish elites (233) selected by purposeful sampling. This study included three graphics and twenty-seven tables. 14 Turkish satellite news channels were determined to be the sample in this study. In order to rank these channels in terms of viewer potential, the best three channels were selected. At the end of the study, it was concluded that Haber Türk channel was ranked first, NTV Türkiye channel was the second and TRT Haber was ranked third regarding viewer potential. In addition, Turkish elites (research sample) stated that Turkish satellite news channels had high level of credibility standards. Thus, the hypothesis urging that there was a positive relationship between viewing potential and credibility levels of Turkish satellite news was confirmed.

A utilização de agrotóxicos no Brasil vem aumentando, com consequências para a saúde dos trabalhadores rurais e consumidores. Historicamente com predomínio de monocultura de cana-de-açúcar, nas últimas décadas, o cenário rural do estado de Alagoas vem sendo transformado com a criação de assentamentos de reforma agrária, ampliando a importância da agricultura familiar, bem como novas culturas e a criação animal vem ganhando importância. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a produção agrícola e o uso de agrotóxicos no assentamento Dom Helder Câmara, localizado no município de Murici - Zona da Mata alagoana. A metodologia utilizada foi a de entrevistas semiestruturadas, aplicadas em 29 famílias, durante os meses de janeiro a julho de 2018. Verificou-se que 11% das famílias fazem uso de agrotóxicos e 34% possuem certificação orgânica. Com relação à declaração de aptidão ao Pronaf, 66% das famílias não possuem o documento, o que impede que o número de agricultores certificados via OCS aumente. A falta de assistência técnica e crédito dificulta a melhora da produção, sendo que 47% das famílias não utilizam nenhum insumo para o manejo das culturas. Como citar este artigo:NAVAS, Rafael; HIRAI, Wanda Griep; OLIVEIRA, Maria Alice Araújo.

A criação de Projeto de Assentamento de Agroextrativista – PAE – no sul do Amapá permitiu a instalação de uma parcela populacional vivendo de exploração da silvicultura. O Incra, responsável pela reforma agrária, reconheceu a existência de formas diferenciadas de ocupar o solo e de se relacionar com a natureza e criou uma modalidade de gestão conjunta, atribuindo às associações do PAE a participação na gestão. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar se a parceria causou o empoderamento dos assentados ou se foi uma estratégia para o autoritarismo do Incra, estudando o caso do PAE-Maracá. Os procedimentos metodológicos incluíram entrevistas aos gestores de associações e agroextrativistas aos professores, análise de documentos do Incra e da associação principal, complementando com leituras de teses e dissertações pertinentes ao assunto. Pode-se deduzir que desde o início o Incra adotou procedimentos inapropriados, visto que os assentados apresentam dissonância nas intenções, nas ações e mesmo na gestão. O Incra atua com autoritarismo, omissão, e seu descaso empobrece o Plano de Utilização, principal documento para a gestão do Assentamento. Como citar este artigo:ALMEIDA, Maria Geralda de.

HOW TO INCLUDE RAINBOW FORMATION TO TEACHING OF PHYSICS AT HIGH SCHOOLS USING ICT?
Authors: Musilek Michal
Published: May 2021

The basic topics of physics include optics. In teaching of physics at high schools we explain how to assemble and use microscope or telescope but we don't explain to our stu-dents why we can see a rainbow in the sky. The article wants to point out that the rainbow formation is an interesting and didactically relevant theme of high school physics, also with strong ties to the mathematics and computer science. We can lead students to create a dy-namic model of light beam motion in a drop of water using geometric sketchbook (i.e. Cabri Geometry or GeoGebra). Based on the understanding of the model then students determine so-called rainbow function, calculate and draw its graph using a spreadsheet (i.e. MS Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc). With the use of ICT the interpretation of rainbow formation is easy to understand for students, and it also adds an unusual, yet effective use of two kinds of ap-plication software.

GEOLOGICAL „MUSEUM“ OF SCHOOL SURROUNDINGS: TO HELP TEACHERS
Authors: Rudnickaitė Eugenija
Published: May 2021

Year 2012 in Lithuania is announced as the Year of Museums, nevertheless the num-ber of museums and educational programs dedicated to Natural Sciences did not increase.
Geosciences are very significant part of the whole complex of Natural Sciences. How-ever, geological disciplines are not included in Education Programm of Secondary Schools, therefore Museums of Geology became very important.
Lithuania can not brag about a big number of geological museums, and most of them are not close enough for a class trip. Such luxury is only available mainly for schools in Vilni-us. Although, during recent years more and more geological knowledge is available at regional parks new information centers (Gražutės, Sartų, Nemuno kilpų, Ventos, etc.). It is convenient to nearby schools. But what about the rest?
The idea of this article is to show, that a geological „museum“ can be found in schools surrounding environment: school yard, close by river slope, dug out quarry, by a water spring or a hill.
Specific examples are presented how an unregistered user, visiting Lithuanian Geologi-cal Survey internet site (www.lgt.lt), can find enough information about his schools’ surround-ings geological structure (on the surface and underground), protected geological object (ge-otops), interesting outcrops, probable pollution sources, mineral resources, etc.

INCLUSIÓN DE LOS INMIGRANTES EN LOS CENTROS ESCOLARES PÚBLICOS ESPAÑOLES
Authors: Facal Santiago Silvia
Published: May 2021

El siglo XX y lo que va del XXI se han caracterizado por presentar movimientos de migraciones masivas los cuales vinculan diferentes factores como el de la educación. España ha sido, desde la década de 1990, uno de los principales destinos de olas migratorias procedentes de los más variopintos lugares. El impacto de la población extranjera en los centros escolares se ha comenzado a sentir recién a partir de mediados de la década de 2000. Debido al crecimiento constante del alumnado extranjero en los centros escolares públicos españoles el gobierno se ha marcado como reto el de la integración de los mismos a través del modelo de inclusión. En este artículo se presentan las principales políticas de inclusión de alumnos extranjeros en los centros escolares públicos españoles a través de una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa junto con la utilización de fuentes estadísticas secundarias y análisis de contenido. La respuesta de las autoridades de educación, a través de diversas políticas de inclusión, ha diversificado, en los últimos años, sus esfuerzos para incluir a los alumnos extranjeros en los centros escolares públicos españoles.
¿NEOLIBERALISMO? EL CRECIMIENTO DE LA MATRÍCULA DE LA EDUCACIÓN PRIVADA EN ARGENTINA Y URUGUAY
Authors: Narodowski Mariano , Snaider Carolina
Published: May 2021

Durante las últimas tres décadas, se evidencia para la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos el crecimiento de la matrícula escolar gestionada desde el sector privado. Para muchos estudiosos del tema, es el perfil llamado “neoliberal” el que se traduce en el campo de los sistemas educativos dando cuenta de ese incremento. Tomando como casos a la Argentina y al Uruguay, este estudio se propone discutir la teoría predominante que en estos años ha construido al neoliberalismo como la llave explicativa del aumento de la educación privada, analizando evidencia estadística de la matrícula en ambos países y  poniéndola en relación con los diferentes ciclos macropolíticos que se han ido atravesando.

The objective of this project is to make a controller Based model to count number of persons visiting particular room and accordingly light up the room. Here we can use sensor and can know present number of persons. In today’s world, there is a continuous need for automatic appliances. With the increase in standard of living, there is a sense of urgency for developing circuits that would ease the complexity of life. also if at all one wants to know the number of people present in room soaps not to have congestion, this circuit proves to be helpful. This project "automatic room light controller with visitor counter using microcontroller" is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of persons/visitor in the room very accurately. When somebody enters into the room will be switched ON and when anyone. the light in room will be only switched OFF until all the persons in the room go out. The total number of Person inside the room also displayed on the seven segment displays. The microcontroller does the above job. it receives the signals from the sensors, and this signal is operated under the control of software which is stored in rom. Microcontroller AT89S52 continuously monitor the infrared receivers, when any object passed through the IR rays falling on the receivers are obstructed this obstruction is sensed by the microcontroller.

Automatic plant watering system, which is taken into account together of the foremost commonly used and therefore the most beneficial automated systems nowadays, help people in their daily activities by reducing or completely replacing their effort. This system uses sensor technology along with microcontroller and other electronics to behave like a smart switching system that senses soil moisture level and irrigates the plant if necessary. The purpose of this work is to show how someone can easily make their own and cheap automatic plant watering system in just a few hours by connecting certain electronic components and other materials required. In our experiment, we connected all required materials exactly as shown in this paper, to test whether our system will work properly or not. Although the system made in that way would be the most appropriate for home usage as the solution for some daily and usual issues, there is a wide spectrum of possibilities of implementing these systems as a long-term solution for several agricultural and medical problems, a number of which are undernourishment and pollution as most prominent, dangerous and important ones. The project we've undertaken is “Garden watering system”. This project is taken up as in India there is a Garden Watering rate at which water resources are depleting is a dangerous threat hence there is a need for a smart and efficient way of Garden Watering. In this project, we have implemented sensors which detect the humidity in the soil (Garden) and supply water to the field which has water requirement. The project is Atmega 328P microcontroller-based design that controls the water supply and the field to be irrigated. There are sensors present in each field that are not activated till water is present on the field. Once the sector gets dry sensors to sense the need of water within the field and send a sign to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then supplies water to that particular field which has water requirements till the sensors are deactivated again. In case, when there's quite one signal for water requirement then the microcontroller will prioritize the primary received signal and irrigate the fields accordingly. The development of the Garden Watering system based on microcontrollers at an experimental scale within rural areas is presented. The implementation aimed to demonstrate that automatic Garden Watering can be used to reduce water use.

Maintenance should be of highest significance and emphasis in the infrastructure and construction industries. Technological advances is a practical instrument for comprehensive facilities management. The Network System built on Database can also be used, such as that of the Internet of Things platform. The structure is monitored everywhere. The new strategy for maintaining huge structures around the planet, in particular those that are characterized by extreme conditions is structural integrity tracking leveraging IoT system. On the systems, sensors are deployed, which provide plenty of actual statistics based on real time data. This can be set to warn the consumer of any faults, variations of the vibrations and wind effects that affect the functionality of the structure. The procedure to correct the deterioration or to replace the damaged part should be indicated. In this respect even cloud computing technology is used. And provide us with real world data, Internet of things provides a communication link. It helps to communicate with building structures with basic compressive sensing. This surveillance would also include information on structural condition, statistics sufficient to evaluate health and productivity.
The impact of burning on the structure and mineral composition of bat guano
Authors: Lundberg Joyce , McFarlane Donald
Published: May 2021

Here we addressed the question of whether burning of guano produces a characteristic suite of morphological changes and/or unique mineralogical products. The changes observed in our experimental burning of guano (both fresh and decayed) included colour change (blackening), grain size and morphological change (grain size generally reduced, morphology rendered generally less distinct), alteration of minerals by dehydration (e.g., gypsum to anhydrite, brushite to whitlockite), and production of new minerals or compounds (e.g., augelite, bayerite, giniite, graphite, oldhamite, strontium apatite, tridymite). The key morphological feature we found that may be diagnostic of burning was severe damage to crystals from rapid dehydration (cracks and striations, leading to eventual fragmentation). The key mineralogical feature we found was production of graphite. The high temperature exotic minerals that were produced (giniite, augelite, tridymite, oldhamite) were all found not to be high temperature obligate. Evidence gleaned from the literature suggests that a great number of the minerals associated with high temperatures can also be synthesized in low temperature settings such as weathering or microbial action (exemplified in the extremely complex biology and biochemistry of decaying guano). While the presence of any one of these minerals is not diagnostic of fire, it could be argued that the suite taken as a whole is moderately strong evidence for burning. In future studies, the chemistry of carbon aromaticity may prove to be the best diagnostic test for pyrolysis. A survey of the conditions under which documented spontaneous ignition occurs leads us to conclude that spontaneous ignition of guano inside a cave is an extremely unlikely event, and any suggestion/assertion to this effect should be rigorously supported.
Roxy Music’s Avalon

Published: May 2021

Having designed Roxy Music as an haute-couture, bespoke suit hand-stitched of soft-punk, glam, and progressive music, Bryan Ferry soon lost himself in his own image. He made Roxy Music ever dreamier, softer, and mellower—reaching back to the very British and sadly beautiful Avalon of Arthurian and non-Arthurian chivalric romances. Dadaist (Punk) noise exited; ambience and Deep House entered. Ferry uncomfortably parted ways with Brian Eno, electric violinist Eddie Jobson, percussionist Paul Thompson, foreswearing the broken-sounding synthesizers played by kitchen utensils, the leopard-print attire, the cross-dressing, and the maquillage of previous albums.

The production and engineering imposed on Avalon confiscates emotion and replaces it with an acoustic simulacrum of courtliness, polished manners, and codes of etiquette. The seducer sings seductive music about seduction, but decorum is retained, as amour courtois insists.

The backbeat cannot beat back nostalgia; it remains part of the architecture of Avalon, an album that creates an allusive sheen. Be nostalgic, by all means, but embrace that feeling’s falseness, because nostalgia—whether inspired by medieval Arthuriana or 1940s film noir repartee or a 1980s drug-induced high—deceives. Nostalgia defines our fantasies and our (not Ferry’s) essential artifice.

Authors: De Weerdt Hilde , Watts John
Published: May 2021

This chapter discusses the overlapping interest in political communication
and mediation in recent Chinese and European historiographies. It
explores a shared trend towards the social appropriation and reproduction
of central (or ‘state’) authority by various kinds of intermediaries in the
late Middle Ages, and underscores the use of a comparative historical
inquiry in analyzing the different modalities and effects of the social
appropriation of state authority in Chinese and European history.
