Pedagogy of Description. Projective Reading and the Ethics of Interpretation
Authors: Nishikawa Kinohi
Published: May 2021

This essay limns critique’s use of selective or even misleading description to advance ideological commitments, often without drawing explicit attention to those commitments. It posits that this style is especially attractive to identity-based modes of critique that, rather than take an oppositional approach to reading (e.g., reading “against the grain”), enforce a self-identity between the critic and her object. Against this trend, the essay advocates a pedagogy of description that hones the ethics of interpretation at the point of writing about an object’s alterity. It focuses on a graduate seminar experience of teaching ekphrasis first through an assigned reading and then through a writing exercise completed in an actual museum space. Students’ frustration with a critic’s description of certain art works became an opportunity to reflect on their own commitment to writing about objects with care. Building out from that experience, the essay shows how ethics animates post-critique’s embrace of wonder and surprise – in teaching as much as in writing.
Study of Thermal Behavior of a Horizontal Two Fins Annular Tube Heat Exchanger with Melting Phase Change Material: Fins Orientation Effects
Authors: Boulaktout Nesrine , Mezaache El Hacene , Laouer Abdelghani
Published: May 2021

This paper investigates the effect of fins orientations of a horizontal two fins annular tube heat exchanger on enhancing the heat transfer during the melting process of n-eicosane, as phase change material (PCM) used in thermal storage systems. Based on the enthalpy-porosity method, two-dimensional model is performed and solved by Ansys Fluent. The impact of the fins orientation on melting rate, thermal conduction and natural convection, as the angle of the system varied from 0º (vertical fins) to 90º (horizontal fins) are discussed. Numerical predictions are validated by comparison with experimental data and numerical results reported in the literature. Good agreements are achieved. The results show that at initial time of the melting process, the conduction heat transfer is dominant. During the melting process, the heat transfer in the horizontal fins is more effective while the upper half of PCM melts and less effective as the lower half of PCM melts because fin arrangement resists natural convection occurs. However, the effectiveness of heat transfer and convection in the vertical fins is almost constant during the entire melting process. From comparison, better heat transfer performance is achieved with vertical fins system; complete melting was reduced 250% compared to horizontal fins case.

Authors: Khier Lalmi , Abdelghani Lakel , Maouche Djamel
Published: May 2021

In this work, we have studied the Kaolin M1 and M2 by the X-ray diffraction method, and we have focused on mullite phase which is the main phase present in common in both products. An update of the program of the method of Stokes was carried out, it was necessary to the microstructural analysis. The completed version is less sensitive to the choice by excess of the number of coefficients of Fourier with regard to the effect of truncation and the office plurality of the errors. The determination of the symmetry of the cell of the principal phase (mullite) in the studied fritted Kaolins was carried out. In Kaolin M1, the size of crystallites of the dominant phase varies between 80 to 170 Å. In Kaolin M2, the size of the crystalline grains of mullite varies between 100 to 400 Å. The size of crystallites was confirmed by the joint method of Williamson-Hall. A distribution of sizes of crystallites was carried out. It shows a dominance of the size of approximately 140 Å for the principal phase of Kaolin M1 and a dominance of the size of approximately 230 Å for the same principal phase of Kaolin M2. By the study of the profiles of line by DRX, it appears very clearly that the principal phase of the various sintered Kaolins, mullite, is free from internal microstrains. It is the case of the mixtures fritted not only at low temperature (1100℃) during 1 hour but also the case of the mixtures of the type ‘chamotte’ cooks with 1350℃ during very long times.
Physical Properties and Durability of Green Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Road Bridges
Authors: Ma Chenglong
Published: May 2021

Dry shrinkage and brittleness are outstanding problems with the concrete in road bridges. However, the road bridge concrete has not been systematically studied. No research has fully considered the influence of age on the physical-mechanical properties of road bridge concrete. There are few reports on how the green fiber dosage affects road bridge concrete. This paper analyzes the physical properties and durability of green fiber-reinforced concrete for road bridges (RBGFRC). Firstly, calculation methods were provided for physical-mechanical properties of RBGFRC, such as crack resistance, shear capacity of oblique section, and bending capacity of normal section. Next, the physical-mechanical properties of RBGFRC were investigated in terms of flexural strength, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and early cracking strength; the durability of the material was discussed from three aspects: carbonation resistance, resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, and porosity. Experimental results verify the good physical properties and durability of RBGFRC. The research provides a reference for applying RBGFRC in other scenarios.

Published: May 2021

This paper presents a modelling procedure to take into account the capacitive effect at high frequencies, in Eddy Current Non-Destructive Characterization (EC-NDC) of Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Composite (UD-CFRC) rods. To simulate the complete EC-NDC systems, first, the multilayer circular air coil is physically modeled by a finite element (FE) axisymmetric eddy current model coupled to equivalent RL circuit. Each layer of the coil is represented by an equivalent resistance (R) in series with the equivalent inductance (L). Secondly, R and L of the coil layers are computed for several frequencies up to 5Mhz, and then introduced into the equivalent RLC circuit with considering inter-turn and interlayer capacitances. Then the inversion problem is solved in order to identify all inner capacitances of the coil. Finally, the UD-CFRC rod is introduced into the FE eddy current axisymmetric model coupled to an equivalent RLC circuit, as a homogenized conductive material with an equivalent transverse conductivity. The coil with the presence of the homogenized UD-CFRC rod is then modeled as a transformer with a secondary connected to a capacitor in parallel with a resistance in order to evaluate the inner capacitor of the UD-CFRC. All evaluated parameters are then introduced in the last model. The comparison between the computed impedance parts and the measured ones shows a mean error less than 2% and a maximum one of 5% according to the frequency.

La contribución para la educación y promoción cooperativa y otros fines de interés público — COFIP— en la ley vasca y su aplicabilidad
Authors: Gondra Elguezabal Gotzon
Published: May 2021

Una de las principales particularidades del régimen económico de las sociedades cooperativas es, sin duda, la existencia de un fondo obligatorio cuya aplicabilidad viene expresamente regulada, no siendo los importes dotacionales que la conforman disponibles por los administradores. Se trata de la denominada por el legislador vasco como Contribución para la educación y promoción cooperativa y otros fines de interés público. Si bien las especialidades de la naturaleza jurídica y las finalidades perseguidas por dicho Fondo vienen siendo, ya de antiguo, materias de interés para su investigación, se estima que tanto la aprobación de la nueva legislación cooperativa autonómica como la explícita referencia al fondo contenida en la legislación aprobada al objeto de la ordenación de la situación excepcional de alarma por la COVID-19 invitan a profundizar en el estudio de su evolución jurídica y práctica (eventuales y potenciales destinos).

Cuestiones fundamentales de fenomenología clásica: un acercamiento a su método y a sus posibles aplicaciones
Authors: Larison Mariana
Published: May 2021

La fenomenología es una corriente filosófica que nace en los albores del siglo XX y continúa hasta nuestros días, enmarcada en un proyecto que toma forma durante el primer cuarto del siglo pasado, se diversifica en el segundo y prosigue múltiples caminos a partir de la década 1950. Resulta, por tanto, imposible hablar de “la” fenomenología, y necesario, en cambio, referirnos a un “proyecto” fenomenológico. En este artículo, ofrecemos un acercamiento a los problemas generales, la metodología y las posibles aplicaciones de la filosofía fenomenológica. En un primer momento, se abordará el sentido del proyecto fenomenológico general y el de tres de sus representantes clásicos y fundamentales: nos referimos a Husserl, Heidegger y Merleau-Ponty. En un segundo momento, buscaremos desplegar algunos de los conceptos más significativos en las propuesta de estos autores, destacando sus continuidades y rupturas. Finalmente, propondremos una ejemplo concreto de aplicación de la perspectiva y método fenomenológico a partir de nuestra experiencia contemporánea de la distancia corpórea.
Michel Foucault y el problema del método: reflexiones en torno a la arqueo-genealogía
Authors: Dalmau Iván Gabriel
Published: May 2021

El propósito de este trabajo es revisar la problematización foucaultiana del método en su concepción de la filosofía como actividad de diagnóstico crítico del presente. En primer lugar, reconstruiremos la manera en que el filósofo problematiza la crítica como actividad de diagnóstico y se enfoca de modo recurrente en el trabajo de archivo sobre el discurso de las ciencias humanas. Luego, nos detendremos en la problematización arqueológica del método y en lo que denominamos “ecos arqueológicos de la genealogía”. Por tanto, mostraremos la manera en que la problematización de las ciencias humanas en tanto saberes habilita una forma de crítica articulada por la preocupación de diagnosticar el presente. Por esta razón, nos enfocaremos en el desplazamiento introducido por la perspectiva foucaultiana desde la pregunta normativa acerca de la objetividad cognoscitiva de las ciencias humanas hacia una crítica ontológico-política. Modo de crítica que, preocupada por diagnosticar el presente, caracterizamos como una arqueogenealogía de las formas de objetivación.
La epistemología naturalizada
Authors: Cormick Claudio Javier
Published: May 2021

Este artículo ofrece una sucinta reconstrucción de la epistemología naturalizada, entendida como una propuesta metodológica. Identificaremos tres posiciones distintivas de esta propuesta: el rechazo del apriorismo en epistemología en beneficio de una utilización de los resultados de la ciencia empírica, la atribución a la epistemología de una normatividad instrumental y la tesis de la evaluabilidad empírica de las normas o de los principios epistémicos. Se rastrea históricamente la forma en que estas características se presentan en textos “fundacionales” de Quine, por un lado, y de Laudan, por otro. Se estudiará cómo este proyecto es “aplicado” por tres autores que se reivindican deudores de Quine o Laudan: Sankey, quien vincula el naturalismo con la discusión acerca del relativismo epistémico, y Antony y Anderson, quienes se sirven de la propuesta como fundamento para una epistemología feminista. Por medio de estas “aplicaciones”, veremos que la epistemología naturalizada no conduce, como temieron los críticos tempranos de Quine, a una eliminación del aspecto normativo. Se verá también que, mientras la propuesta de Sankey es naturalizada en tanto empíricamente informada, pero, en esencia, sigue dependiendo de argumentos a priori, las apropiaciones procedentes de la epistemología feminista realizan el proyecto de naturalización en un sentido más profundo, esto es, presentan un conjunto de tesis epistemológicas que son ellas mismas de carácter empírico.

Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the issue of the place of an assistant judge in the system of civil and arbitration procedural relations. The author analyzes the existing approaches to determining the place of an assistant judge in the classification of subjects of civil and arbitration procedural relations. According to the author, the assistant judge is an separate subject of such legal relations. The widespread approach of classifying a judicial assistant as a facilitator of justice seems to be incorrect. In order to classify the subjects of civil and arbitration procedural relations, the author proposes to classify the assistant judge in the same group of subjects as a court.

Analysis of Development Factors of Non-Governmental Organizations with Particular Emphasis on Public Funds and the Process of European Integration
Authors: Kobos Edgar
Published: May 2021

In the last quarter of the century, there has been a steady increase in the number and scope of organizations operating under the so-called third sector. These organizations implement a wide range of activities, from social services to recreational activities, from political pressure groups to groups that promote art or history. Foundations and associations are an important arena of social, economic and political activity, alongside the state and the private sector, they feature an increasingly important role in today's world. European public funds provide a plentiful supply of financing for these activities. It has been shown that European funds change the statutory objectives of foundations and associations as public funds determine their operational priorities and directions of development. Active civil society supports the creative processes of social capital, and the most important function of NGOs is precise to strengthen social capital. Participation in NGOs is a determinant of civic maturity for citizens. On the other hand, due to the active participation of citizens in such organizations, societies have changed. This is the reason why the direction of the third sector development and the phenomena of its growth is so crucial for every European State.
A Functional Contextualist Account of Behavioral Economics: Relational Frame Theory Applied to Decision-Making and Choice Behavior
Authors: Tagliabue Marco , Cesareo Massimo , Squatrito Valeria , Presti Giovambattista
Published: May 2021

Behavioral economics is a discipline that is mainly rooted in cognitivism and that is concerned with the study of decision-making processes and choice behavior. These involve addressing the relations between cognition and overt behavior, which comprise one of the most challenging topics in the domain of behavioral sciences at large and have been approached by different epistemological viewpoints. Within the cognitivist tradition, private events have been often treated as causes of behaviors, adopting a mechanistic view. Conversely, a contextual functional behavioral perspective treats them with the same methodology that is adopted for overt behaviors. Relational frame theory, a post-Skinnerian theory of language and cognition, offers a behavioral perspective on cognition and overt behavior and how they influence human behavior, by keeping a high degree of coherence with basic principles and goals of behavior analysis (i.e., effective action). This conceptual paper represents an attempt to offer a perspective drawn from contextual behavioral science on some constructs described in behavioral economics. Furthermore, it provides a common ground for behavior analysts and researchers in other fields of psychology to further expand our knowledge and respective explanations of decision-making processes. Finally, it draws a line for connecting basic research to applied solutions.

Published: May 2021

An article introduces psychoanalytic concepts which can be of help in making sense of seemingly irrational processes in individuals, groups and organizations. Looking at an organization through the spectrum of psychoanalytic concepts is a potentially creative activity which may help in understanding and dealing with such issues like motivation, control, assessment of organizational members. An author believes that recognizing unconscious, hidden motives will let the managers to avoid automatic reactions and will improve the effectiveness of their influences. The main described notion is a transference occurring when employee brings into relationship with a superior (leader, manager) something that belongs elsewhere, which may take the form of a feeling, or a pressure to take up a particular role. Counter-transference is the response in the mind of superior, which may also take the form of a feeling or one kind of behavior. Both transference and countertransference are unconscious processes and are not liable to rational control.

Published: May 2021

Designs involving sequences of treatments are advantageously used when observations are taken repeatedly from same experimental unit period after period as a new treatment is applied in each period. Hence, inclusion of residual effects into the model becomes the most important feature of such designs. Six popular classes of designs involving sequences of treatments are studied under a model with carryover effects proportional to the direct effects where the unknown proportionality parameter assumed values from -1 to +1. The objective of this empirical study was to determine the value of proportionality parameter for which maximum information can be drawn from the design.

Authors: Raghunath M.P. , Beena R.
Published: May 2021

Background: High temperature is an important abiotic stress affecting the productivity of rice. Early morning flowering trait is an escape mechanism from heat. This trait is present in wild rice cultivars. Here we tried to induce early morning flowering trait by the application of methyl jasmonate. Methods: A pot culture experiment was conducted during Rabi, 2017 and 2018 to study the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate on high temperature stress (more than 35°C) mitigation in rice was conducted in the Department of Plant Physiology, College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2017-2019. The variety used was Uma (MO 16). Methyl jasmonate was applied as foliar spray to the spikelet in varying concentration with different time. Physiological observations were taken at 50% flowering stage and yield parameters were taken at harvest stage. Conclusion: There was significant variation for physiological and yield components among treatments. 4mM L-1 methyl jasmonate at 7am treatment exhibited increase in pollen viability, spikelet fertility percentage, yield per plant and 1000 grain weight. Hence, it is found that methyl jasmonate can advance anthesis time and thereby plants can escape from the severity of temperature experiencing at the normal flowering time in rice.

The Hispanic population in the United States is growing, and healthcare providers are challenged to design targeted, culturally appropriate programs to improve health outcomes related to breastfeeding.

Objectives

This study was designed to detect the exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rate among Hispanic women who chose education plus peer support versus peer support only. In addition, this study further evaluates ¡Tengo Leche!, an educational program previously evaluated in the literature.

Methods

The sample (n = 103) consisted of Hispanic pregnant, low-income, and uninsured women. A two-group quasi-experimental design was used to test the educational intervention combined with peer support (n = 35) versus stand-alone peer support (n = 68). The education-plus group (n = 35) voluntarily participated in the education portion. All participants received the inpatient peer counseling. The participants' breastfeeding intention was gathered through chart review.

Results

EBF at discharge was significantly higher (c2 = 4.51, p = .02) among mothers in the education plus peer support group, who were more likely to be exclusively breastfeeding at discharge (46.7%) versus the peer-support-only group (24.6%).

Conclusions

The outcomes of this study may provide guidance for designing culturally competent interventions with a focus on cost-effective and outcome-driven interventions to increase EBF.
A Blueprint for Becoming a Successful Clinical Nursing Professor, Promoting Health and Wellness in the Clinical Environment to Produce Emerging Nurse Leaders
Authors: Logan Diane R.
Published: May 2021

Clinical professors are a particularly important determinant of student success in becoming a proficient nurse. The clinical professor is responsible for helping students apply didactic knowledge to clinical skills. This article discusses strategies clinical professors can use to maximize undergraduate nursing students ‘skills and competencies and to raise awareness of healthy behaviors affecting patient care. Applying effective and fun strategies can help students decrease anxiety, apply critical thinking, develop autonomy, and learn time management. These applied strategies help students develop delegation skills required to be professional, competent nurses, while promoting health and well-being.

Seeing beyond the Theory: Empowering Novice Nursing Students in their Ability to save Lives through Primary and Secondary Prevention
Authors: Christensen Stacy
Published: May 2021

Students in early-level nursing courses often doubt their ability to intervene effectively to impact health, much less save a life, due to lack of hands-on experience and confidence. Theoretical concepts introduced in early-level courses are abstract terms that can be difficult for the novice student to grasp. Two strategies were designed to take early-level nursing students beyond the theory and increase their awareness of the power of prevention through risk identification, advocacy, health education, and early intervention. Opportunities to apply concepts such as health education, role of the nurse, communication, growth and development, and family systems theory were provided through use of these strategies. Both assignments have been well received by early-level students and other instructors. Informal feedback indicates that these strategies can enhance students ‘confidence in their perceived ability to promote health and prevent adverse outcomes. The strategies presented in this article respond to the call to provide opportunities within the curriculum that facilitate application of theoretical content; they can empower novice students in their ability to impact lives and can set them up for success as they progress through the program.
Capturing Nursing History with Creative Writing: Two Exemplars
Authors: Owens Jacqueline K.
Published: May 2021

Florence Nightingale formally documented much of the early history of the nursing profession, a goal that remains important today to guide our practice. Many nurse scholars have published detailed accounts of historical research. Story-based narratives can be especially effective to describe the contributions of individual nurses in a way that resonates with nurses and lay readers. Two nurses, Terri Arthur and Jeanne Bryner, have successfully disseminated stories of nurses through creative writing. This article describes their journeys to capture nursing history using historical narrative, poetry, and reflective prose.

University of California San Diego Health was set to launch its 13th annual Nursing and Inquiry Innovation Conference event in June 2020. However, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic placed a barrier to large gatherings throughout the world. Because the World Health Organization designated 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, the University committed to continuing the large-scale conference, converting to a virtual event. This article reviews the methodologies behind the delivery of the virtual event and implications for user engagement and learning on the blended electronic platform.
Voices of Nurses during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Call to Action
Authors: Kreitzer Mary Jo
Published: May 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the well-being of nurses and has exacerbated long-standing issues of stress and burnout. Expecting or hoping that nurses will recover quickly or bounce back from the stress and deep trauma of the pandemic is not realistic. Each nurse has a story, and while these stories may have similar themes, they are all different. It is important to reflect on our stories, identify the myriad of emotions we are experiencing, and find ways to work through our feelings. Ignoring, denying, or suppressing feelings does not serve us well in the long run. Stifling negative emotions does not make them go away. A Call to Action is needed to address the impact of the pandemic, clinician burnout, and systemic racism on health-care organizations and educational institutions. Strategies are identified that will support personal and organizational well-being.
Call for papers: LGBTI+ population and healthcare context

The call for paper clearly builds on the WOA 2019’s theme, acknowledging that organization theory and practice are progressively challenged and enriched by conflicting expectations expressed by a plethora of stakeholders whose answers have often to be found by the embracement of academic multidisciplinarity – i.e. the borrowing of constructs and models from other fields. In this fluid reality, organizations tend to be more problematic to design while extremely meaningful as privileged points of observations of phenomena. In this vein, they result as “convenient microcosms” where scholars and managers can observe the emergence of the unexpected, the craft of the new, the unfolding of novel practices and meanings. Anchoring the idea of organization (and organizing) to the Chester Barnard’s intuition of “fabrics of social life”, identity and pluralism are therefore put to the test as reality challenges what we know. As the WOA 2019 theme statement recalls: “Technology is reshaping the meaning of division of work and coordination, and even the borders of what is human in and around organizations, anticipating the emergence of robots and machine-based agents. Global socio-demographic processes are leading to massive migration processes and changes in the focus of economic processes. Societal values are changing the habits and patterns of consumption and the use of resources. Many other challenges are waiting for us to consider them in our theorizing and researching”. Moving from the philosophical roots of the ego consciousness, studies on pluralism and organizational identity have variously addressed what is believed to be foundational, valid, central and meaningful by organizational members, however the organizational boundaries would have been defined. Such studies have spanned from the questioning of the individual fit (via her/his self) with the organizational values and culture, to value-based and cognitive-enacted links glueing entire dispersed communities, passing though teams and more traditional forms of organizing (associations, companies, etc.). In this heterogeneous and magmatic manifestation of the “real”, individuals and organizations of various kind, nature and size struggle with the definition of their identities (sensegiving), the result of the individual and collective creation of meaning (respectively, perceptions/projections vs. sensemaking/sensebreaking), the processes through which they try to survive juggling with different affordances of pluralism and identity. With this call for paper we want to address all these issues by soliciting the submission of papers that, grounded in rigorous studies, embrace in a novel way the challenge to reflect on the “who, what and how” organizations can deal with pluralism and identity, yet attempting to thrive while exposed to fluid and uncertain environments.
