Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Wolaita Sodo Univeristy, Sodo, Ethiopia, Paul Makesh Dr. A
Published: December 2021

This article presents the analysis of uncertainty and effectiveness in cost to construction project. Theoretical part describes various definitions of uncertainty, risk both with there sources as calculation bias, information ambiguity and data inaccuracy in construction projects. Main analysis is connected with the project's appraisal phase and its stages were the detailed information is the crucial factor for correct decision- making procedures under uncertainty and risk. Consequently this article is presenting various types risk what are undistinguishable from uncertainty circumstances in construction. After the description of risk and uncertainty types list of solutions were prepared. Application of the suggested risk and uncertainty extenuating techniques in practice was shown as analysis of precision and bias dependence with available information at different stages of appraisal phase.It is emphasized on uncertainty and risk management problem in the construction's decision- making. Recently methods based on the utility theory, game theory, statistical distribution and probability, were improved and adjusted due to decision-making needs in construction. That is why the model with implemented multiple-criteria approaches is suggested both as a tool for dealing with the uncertainty and risk problems and to meet the needs of project managers in appraisal phase.

First Nations Peoples, Climate Change, Human Rights and Legal Rights
Authors: Bedford Narelle , McAvoy SC Tony , Stevenson-Graf Lindsey
Published: December 2021

This article provides a First Nations standpoint on climate change, informed by human rights law and legal education. It is co-authored by a Yuin woman who is a law academic, a Wirdi man who is a Queens Counsel, and a human rights law academic. The article argues that for any responses to climate change to be effective, they must be grounded in the perspectives, knowledge, and rights of First Nations peoples. The utility of human rights instruments to protect First Nation interests in a climate change milieu is explored at the international and domestic levels. Concomitantly, structural change must begin with the Indigenisation of legal education and the embedding of legal responses to climate change into the law curriculum. A holistic approach is necessary.

Published: December 2021

Problems of increasing the service life of compressor blades of aircraft gas turbine engines using detonation spraying technology are considered. The simulation of the parameters of the velocity and temperature of the particles of the sprayed material in the barrel of the detonation unit and in the flooded space to the substrate was carried out, followed by the choice of the optimal technological parameters of the spraying process. The control system of the detonation unit has been modernized. An experiment was carried out on the deposition of the Al2O3 coatings on the samples of a substrate made of titanium alloy VT3-1. Based on the results of the experiment, technological recommendations were developed concerning both the parameters of the spraying process and the parameters of the preparation of the substrate surface before spraying. The equipment for brazing the blades of the guide vanes is described and a device for spraying coatings on the end surfaces of the compressor blades is proposed. Thus, a complex technology has been developed for restoring the end surfaces of titanium alloy compressor blades by deposition of Al2O3 coatings.
A Pilot Radio Search for Magnetic Activity in Directly Imaged Exoplanets
Authors: Cendes Y. , Williams P. K. G. , Berger E.
Published: December 2021

We present the first systematic search for GHz frequency radio emission from directly imaged exoplanets using Very Large Array observations of sufficient angular resolution to separate the planets from their host stars. We obtained results for five systems and eight exoplanets located at ≲50 pc through new observations (Ross 458, GU Psc, and 51 Eri) and archival data (GJ 504 and HR 8799). We do not detect radio emission from any of the exoplanets, with 3σ luminosity upper limits of (0.9–23) × 1021 erg s−1. These limits are comparable to the level of radio emission detected in several ultracool dwarfs, including T dwarfs, whose masses are only a factor of two times higher than those of the directly imaged exoplanets. Despite the lack of detections in this pilot study, we highlight the need for continued GHz frequency radio observations of nearby exoplanets at μJy-level sensitivity.
Galaxian Contamination in Galactic Reddening Maps
Authors: Brown Peter J. , Walker Tate
Published: December 2021

Estimating the amount of foreground extinction due to the Milky Way dust along the line of sight is often a first step in determining the luminosity of an object. The amount of Galactic dust inferred by infrared emission maps can be contaminated by infrared light from nearby galaxies. By comparing extinction values at and around the location of nearby galaxies, we compile a list of 95 galaxies that likely contaminate the maps with an excess or improperly subtracted galaxian infrared emission, and tabulate our recommended values for the MW contribution. In addition to M82, which inspired this work, six more sources have an excess visual extinction A

V
of at least 0.05 mag greater than our annular values; including M83, NGC 1313, NGC 6822, NGC 918, UGC 11501, and UGC 11797. M33 is shown to be oversubtracted. NGC 88 and the outskirts of NGC 4258 are located in gaps in the Infrared Astronomical Satellite imaging. The recommended dust map values for the LMC, SMC, and M31 may also not be correctly returned by some software packages. Accurate reddening estimates are important for measuring stellar and supernova luminosities in these nearby galaxies.
Mass Transfer and Stellar Evolution of the White Dwarfs in AM CVn Binaries
Authors: Wong Tin Long Sunny , Bildsten Lars
Published: December 2021

We calculate the stellar evolution of both white dwarfs (WDs) in AM CVn binaries with orbital periods of P
orb ≈ 5–70 minutes. We focus on the cases where the donor starts as a M
He < 0.2M
⊙ helium WD and the accretor is a M
WD > 0.6 M
⊙ WD. Using Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics, we simultaneously evolve both WDs assuming conservative mass transfer and angular momentum loss from gravitational radiation. This self-consistent evolution yields important feedback of the properties of the donor on the mass-transfer rate,

M

, as well as the thermal evolution of the accreting WD. Consistent with earlier work, we find that the high

M

̇

's at early times forces an adiabatic evolution of the donor for P
orb < 30 minutes so that its mass–radius relation depends primarily on its initial entropy. As the donor reaches M
He ≈ 0.02–0.03 M
⊙ at P
orb ≃ 30 minutes, it becomes fully convective and could lose entropy and expand much less than expected under further mass loss. However, we show that the lack of reliable opacities for the donor’s surface inhibit a secure prediction for this possible cooling. Our calculations capture the core heating that occurs during the first ≈107 yr of accretion and continue the evolution into the phase of WD cooling that follows. When compared to existing data for accreting WDs, as seen by Cheng and collaborators for isolated WDs, we also find that the accreting WDs are not as cool as we would expect given the amount of time they have had to cool.
The Irradiation Instability of Protoplanetary Disks
Authors: Wu Yanqin , Lithwick Yoram
Published: December 2021

The temperature in most parts of a protoplanetary disk is determined by irradiation from the central star. Numerical experiments of Watanabe and Lin suggested that such disks, also called “passive disks,” suffer from a thermal instability. Here we use analytical and numerical tools to elucidate the nature of this instability. We find that it is related to the flaring of the optical surface, the layer at which starlight is intercepted by the disk. Whenever a disk annulus is perturbed thermally and acquires a larger scale height, disk flaring becomes steeper in the inner part and flatter in the outer part. Starlight now shines more overhead for the inner part and so can penetrate into deeper layers; conversely, it is absorbed more shallowly in the outer part. These geometric changes allow the annulus to intercept more starlight, and the perturbation grows. We call this the irradiation instability. It requires only ingredients known to exist in realistic disks and operates best in parts that are both optically thick and geometrically thin (inside 30 au, but can extend to further reaches when, e.g., dust settling is considered). An unstable disk develops traveling thermal waves that reach order unity in amplitude. In thermal radiation, such a disk should appear as a series of bright rings interleaved with dark shadowed gaps, while in scattered light it resembles a moving staircase. Depending on the gas and dust responses, this instability could lead to a wide range of consequences, such as ALMA rings and gaps, dust traps, vertical circulation, vortices, and turbulence.
Modeling Polarization Signals from Cloudy Brown Dwarfs Luhman 16 A and B in Three Dimensions

Published: December 2021

The detection of disk-integrated polarization from Luhman 16 A and B in the H band, and subsequent modeling, has been interpreted in the framework of zonal cloud bands on these bodies. Recently, Tan and Showman investigated the 3D atmospheric circulation and cloud structures of brown dwarfs with general circulation models (GCMs), and their simulations yielded complex cloud distributions showing some aspects of zonal jets, but also complex vortices that cannot be captured by a simple model. Here we use these 3D GCMs specific to Luhman 16 A and B, along with the 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code ARTES, to calculate their polarization signals. We adopt the 3D temperature–pressure and cloud profiles from the GCMs as our input atmospheric structures. Our polarization calculations at 1.6 μm agree well with the measured degree of linear polarization from both Luhman 16 A and B. Our calculations reproduce the measured polarization for both objects with cloud particle sizes between 0.5 and 1 μm for Luhman 16 A and of 5 μm for Luhman 16 B. We find that the degree of linear polarization can vary on hour-long timescales over the course of a rotation period. We also show that models with azimuthally symmetric band-like cloud geometries, typically used for interpreting polarimetry observations of brown dwarfs, overpredict the polarization signal if the cloud patterns do not include complex vortices within these bands. This exploratory work shows that GCMs are promising for modeling and interpreting polarization signals of brown dwarfs.
Flux-limited Diffusion Approximation Models of Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability. II. Quadrupled Spatial Resolution
Authors: Boss Alan P.
Published: December 2021

While collisional accumulation is nearly universally accepted as the formation mechanism of rock and ice worlds, the situation regarding gas giant planet formation is more nuanced. Gas accretion by solid cores formed by collisional accumulation is the generally favored mechanism, but observations increasingly suggest that gas disk gravitational instability might explain the formation of at least the massive or wide-orbit gas giant exoplanets. This paper continues a series aimed at refining three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamical models of disk instabilities, where the handling of the gas thermodynamics is a crucial factor. Boss (2017, 2021) used the β cooling approximation to calculate 3D models of disks with initial masses of 0.091 M
⊙ extending from 4 to 20 au around 1 M
⊙ protostars. Here we employ 3D flux-limited diffusion (FLD) approximation models of the same disks, in order to provide a superior treatment of disk gas thermodynamics. The new models have quadrupled spatial resolution compared to previous 3D FLD models, in both the radial and azimuthal spherical coordinates, resulting in the highest spatial resolution 3D FLD models to date. The new models continue to support the hypothesis that such disks can form self-gravitating, dense clumps capable of contracting to form gas giant protoplanets, and suggest that the FLD models yield similar numbers of clumps as β cooling models with β ∼ 1 to ∼10, including the critical value of β = 3 for fragmentation proposed by Gammie.
A new species of the genus Rhaphidosoma Amyot et Serville, 1843 (Heteroptera, Reduviidae), with data on its chromosome complement

Published: December 2021

A new species, Rhaphidosoma paganicumsp. nov. (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Harpactorinae: Rhaphidosomatini), is described from the Dry Zone of Myanmar. It is the fifth species of Rhaphidosoma Amyot et Serville, 1843, known from the Oriental Region, and the first record of the genus for Myanmar and Indochina. The structure of the external and internal terminalia of the male and female is described and illustrated in detail. The completely inflated endosoma is described for the first time in reduviids. The complex structure of the ductus seminis is shown; it terminates with a voluminous seminal chamber which opens with a wide secondary gonopore and may be a place where spermatophores are formed. The new species is compared with all congeners from the Oriental Region and Western Asia. It is characterised by the absence of distinct tubercles on the abdominal tergites of the male, the presence only two long tubercles and small rounded ones on the abdominal tergites VII and VI, respectively, in the female, the presence of short fore wing vestiges which are completely hidden under longer fore wing vestiges, and other characters. In addition to the morphological description, an account is given of the male karyotype and the structure of testes of Rh. paganicumsp. nov. and another species of Harpactorinae, Polididus armatissimus Stål, 1859 (tribe Harpactorini). It was found that Rh. paganicumsp. nov. has a karyotype comprising 12 pairs of autosomes and a multiple sex chromosome system (2n♂=24A+X1X2X3Y), whereas P. armatissimus has a karyotype comprising five pairs of autosomes and a simple sex chromosome system (2n♂=10A+XY). The males of these species were found to have seven and nine follicles per testis, respectively. FISH mapping of 18S ribosomal DNA (major rDNA) revealed hybridisation signals on two of the four sex chromosomes (Y and one of the Xs) in Rh. paganicumsp. nov. and on the largest pair of autosomes in P. armatissimus. The presence of the canonical “insect” (TTAGG)n telomeric repeat was detected in the chromosomes of both species. This is the first application of FISH in the tribe Raphidosomatini and in the genus Polididus Stål, 1858.
Development and validation of standardization methods of aqueous sapropel extract
Authors: Strus Oksana , Fedorovska Mariana , Holota Serhii , Polovko Natalia
Published: December 2021

Methodological bases and uniform standardization criteria of humic compounds as substances for drug products have not been developed yet. This is due to the structural complexity of humic compounds, the variety of ways to extract them from natural objects, the impossibility of using many classical methods of analytical chemistry to identify and quantify humic substances (HS), the lack of standard samples. The identification of humic acids (HA) in the aqueous sapropel extract (ASE) is identified after extracting from ASE by alkaline hydrolysis by the quantification method. After further precipitation with a concentrated sulfuric acid solution characteristic dark brown color is appeared. It was carried out the HA extraction from the sample of ASE, the precipitation of HA, the oxidation of HA and Mohr’s salt titration in accordance with the methodology developed on the basis of SSTU 7083:2009. It was determined that the total mass fraction of HA in the ASE sample was 83.8 mg/g± 0.12%. The methods of identification and quantification of the total mass of HA in ASE have been developed and validated. The ASE has been standardized.

Authors: Kim Min Cheol , Kim Kyeong Ok , Kang Min Kyu
Published: December 2021

Background/Aims: Although several studies have shown that sarcopenia is associated with poor outcomes in colorectal cancer patients, the impact of sarcopenia on the development of colorectal neoplasia remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and association of colorectal neoplasia, especially advanced colorectal neoplasia, in adults with sarcopenia.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data for 10,676 adults who underwent firsttime colonoscopy and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) on the same day in a health screening program at a single center. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using established BIA-based criteria as adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) divided by body mass index (BMI) (ASM/BMI), height (ASM/height2), or weight (ASM/weight). Prevalence of overall and advanced colorectal neoplasia and their association with sarcopenia, as established by the aforementioned diagnostic criteria, were evaluated.Results: Among 10,676 subjects, 583 were diagnosed with sarcopenia using ASM/ BMI. Subjects with sarcopenia had a higher prevalence of colorectal neoplasia than those without. In the multivariate analysis after adjusting for confounding factors, sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for any colorectal neoplasia (odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 1.56) and advanced colorectal neoplasia (OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.06). The association between sarcopenia and advanced colorectal neoplasia remained significant for all sarcopenia measures including ASM/height2 (OR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.24 to 3.85) and ASM/weight (OR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.54 to 3.77).Conclusions: Prevalence of overall and advanced colorectal neoplasia was higher in subjects with sarcopenia than in those without. Sarcopenia was a significant risk factor for colorectal neoplasia, especially for advanced colorectal neoplasia.
Four-year changes in central fatness, risk of diabetes, and metabolic control in older adults: a cohort study with mediation analysis

Published: December 2021

Background/Aims: Older adults are vulnerable to central obesity, while the association of changes in central fatness with risk of diabetes and metabolic control has not been investigated among this particular population. This study was aimed to address these issues.Methods: A total of 1,815 adults aged ≥ 60 years without diabetes at baseline were followed for 4 years. Incident diabetes was ascertained based on plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, medical history, and/or the use of anti-diabetic drugs. Central fatness was assessed by waist circumference (WC), waist-height ratio (WHtR), and body roundness index (BRI). Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of changes in central fatness with risk of diabetes, along with dose-response and mediation analyses.Results: During the 4-year follow-up, 177 participants developed diabetes. The risk of diabetes was increased by 42%, 41%, and 40% per 1 standard deviation increases in WC, WHtR, and BRI, respectively, in multivariable-adjusted models (all p < 0.01). Moreover, these relationships were all linearly-shaped (all pnonlinearity ≥ 0.11). Increases in WC, WHtR, and BRI correlated with increases in hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides-and-glucose index, triglycerides, white blood cell, and C-reactive protein (all p ≤ 0.04). Yet only changes in hemoglobin A1c and triglycerides-and-glucose index were identified as the possible mediators for risk of diabetes, with their mediating effect being about 35% and 21%, respectively.Conclusions: Increases in central fatness were related to elevated risk of diabetes, and this association might be partly explained by the worsening of glycemic control and insulin resistance in older adults.
Transmettre une entreprise familiale : une entreprise à hauts risques !
Authors: Malarewicz Jacques-Antoine
Published: December 2021

Lorsqu’il est question, pour une entreprise familiale, de se confronter à sa transmission, les interactions au sein de la famille risquent de prendre le pas sur la logique entrepreneuriale. La dimension affective de ces liens s’impose alors en même temps que l’irrationalité, avec toutes les conséquences délétères qui peuvent s’ensuivre sur le devenir de la structure. L’intervention d’un professionnel, à la fois habitué aux rouages de l’entreprise et fin connaisseur de la complexité des familles, peut s’avérer indispensable.
Médiation familiale et transmission du patrimoine

Le médiateur familial est un nouveau professionnel qui aide les familles à gérer les conflits qui naissent autour de la transmission du patrimoine (héritages, partages, donations). Compétent à la fois au niveau légal et relationnel, souvent formé en systémique, le médiateur propose aux familles un autre mode de communication qui peut amener les personnes à prendre elles-mêmes des décisions vécues comme équitables. À travers des cas de successions, deux médiatrices et une thérapeute systémicienne, illustrent le processus de médiation pour lequel des grilles de lecture et des outils thérapeutiques sont souvent utiles, mais ne peuvent être proposés aux clients que dans le but de les aider à parvenir à un accord. Un changement récent de la loi belge sur les successions, qui augmente la marge de manœuvre des testateurs, pourrait élargir les cas de recours à la médiation.

Les temples fabuleux de l’immortalité et leurs aménagements à l’âge classique
Authors: Decarne Pauline
Published: December 2021

Hérités de l’Antiquité, les monuments allégoriques d’immortalité – le temple de la Gloire et ses avatars – constituent à l’âge classique des motifs littéraires quelque peu usés d’un abécédaire poétique pour le moins convenu. Cette transparence du motif cache cependant une série d’ambiguïtés. Oscillant entre paganisme, christianisme, et laïcisation, entre l’échelle française et l’échelle européenne, ces temples de Mémoire emblématisent ainsi certaines des tensions de l’âge classique.
Walter Scott et James Fenimore Cooper : le roman historique à l’épreuve de sa réplicabilité
Authors: Le Seven Emilia , Pilote Pauline
Published: December 2021

En 1814, l’écrivain écossais Walter Scott publie Waverley . Ce roman, qui raconte l’histoire du soulèvement jacobite, est le premier d’une longue série de romans qui seront tous rassemblés sous le titre de Waverley Novels , alors même que ces romans sont indépendants les uns des autres. Ce qu’ils ont en commun, toutefois, c’est une formule du roman historique que Scott crée et qui sera abondamment copiée par ses contemporains, dont son homologue américain, James Fenimore Cooper. Cet article s’intéresse alors au phénomène de réplication de cette formule tout au long de l’œuvre de chaque auteur et montre que lorsque cette formule est réitérée et appliquée à d’autres cadres temporels et aires géographiques, des zones sont créées qui échappent au cadre prédéfini et que le roman, exhibant ses coutures, tente de lisser et effacer. Cet article montre alors que la recette du roman national proposé par Scott et reprise par ses contemporains américains dévoile que ce modèle idéalisé d’une construction nationale lissée résiste à sa réutilisation systématique.
L’héritage de Walter Scott dans le roman historique français du XIX e siècle
Authors: Safa Isabelle
Published: December 2021

Historiens et romanciers français du début du xix e siècle célèbrent en Walter Scott une nouvelle manière de représenter l’histoire et s’en inspirent : la « couleur locale » et la dramatisation des enjeux historiques à travers des affrontements de personnages typiques rendent l’histoire à la fois vivante et lisible, à un moment où la discipline historique apparaît comme le creuset de la nation. On examinera ainsi comment s’articule autour de la figure de W. Scott la rencontre d’un moment politique et d’une poétique romanesque.
Des réécritures féministes d’épopées antiques pour diffuser le renouvellement historiographique : Lavinia , Circé et Le Silence des vaincues
Authors: Attali Maureen
Published: December 2021

Les romans de Ursula K. Le Guin, Madeline Miller et Pat Barker sont racontés du point de vue d’une femme qui, de personnage secondaire, devient la protagoniste. Les autrices intègrent les acquis du féminisme en sciences sociales pour offrir un récit alternatif d’événements célèbres qui déconstruise le discours androcentré. Aux mythes glorifiant l’héroisme combattant, elles substituent une analyse des formes de l’asservissement des femmes et notamment des violences genrées tout en mettant en scène les modalités d’un exercice du pouvoir féminin. La fiction devient ainsi un outil de mise en garde contre les biais de l’état actuel de la documentation antique et participe de la lutte contre son instrumentalisation par l’extrême droite.

Creating and Mobilizing “Syonan” Youth: Youth and the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, 1942-1945
Authors: Liao Edgar Bolun
Published: December 2021

In 1942, The Japanese Occupation of Singapore (1942-1945) interrupted British rule in Singapore and paved the way for the island-city’s independence in 1965. The scholarly literature on this dramatic and traumatic period usually focus on the military aspects of the British capitulation to the Japanese invasion or submerge Japanese military officers and civilian administrators’ efforts to mobilize and discipline children and youth within the broader examination of Japanese social policies. This article examines these different efforts to school and mobilize youth in Singapore during this period. to create new subjects out of Singapore’s children and youth and to discipline their bodies for incorporation into a new pan-Asian Japanese empire. Even though these attempts failed, they paved the way for the subsequent social policies and disciplinary projects of the British colonial and local nationalist governments after the war. Thus, the Occupation heralded the intersection of state-society relations and age relations in Singapore.
Female Religious Authority among Tarbiyah Communities in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Fuad Ai Fatimah Nur
Published: December 2021

This article analyses female religious authority among members of Indonesia’s Tarbiyah movement. It focuses on how women members at the lower levels of the organisational hierarchy of the Tarbiyah movement regularly and continuously build their own religious authority through liqo (weekly religious trainings) and how they perceive and practice religious authority in the liqo designed by the movement. This article argues that liqo is used not only as a means for developing members’ Islamic knowledge and religiosity, but most importantly for building its members’ religious authority. However, although women joined liqo in a very disciplined way to have more authority in their community, religious authority generally is still dominated by men. The only religious authority that these female members have comes through the structure for becoming a mentor in the liqo.
Alorese Textiles, specifically Tenapi, and their Production of Ternate Island, Alor Regency, NTT, Indonesia
Authors: McIntosh Linda S. , Peni Yulianti A.
Published: December 2021

Little has been published about the handwoven textiles woven by the Alorese ethnic group of Alor Regency, Indonesia. This article attempts to fill this absence by describing textile production, natural dyeing, and some tubular garments or tenapi of the Alorese (Alurung) people of Uma Pura, Desa Ternate Selatan. Specific tenapi distinguish Uma Pura’s eight patrilineages from one another via the combination of motifs, stripes, and design formats. Weavers use marine life dyestuffs to colour threads, creating a unique characteristic. Production for sale to non-traditional consumers is threatening their continuation since others demand different coloured and patterned weavings. Weavers continue to make the ritual garments, but a decline in the quality of motifs is observed. Documentation of these textiles is crucial for a better understanding of Alorese material culture.
Due statue e il populus Ostiensis nei Fasti Ostienses del 152 d.C.

Questo contributo presenta una nuova interpretazione di un passo dei Fasti Ostiensi, la cronaca annuale di Ostia, il porto di Roma imperiale. Il testo dei Fasti era iscritto su grandi tavole marmoree, e nelle particolarmente ricche notizie che riguardano l’anno 152 d.C., su quattro righe sono descritti gli spettacoli pubblici organizzati da un benefattore in occasione dell’inaugurazione di una basilica. Non era stato osservato dagli studiosi precedenti che nel 152, cinque anni erano passati (secondo un conteggio inclusivo) dall’erezione, nel 148 d.C., di due statue connesse con il populus Ostiensis: queste statue furono di nuovo oggetto dell’attenzione pubblica nel 152.

In epoca antica l’utilizzo del suburbio orientale di Ostia è stato condizionato dal passaggio dell’antica via Ostiense e dal percorso del Tevere, che in questa zona era caratterizzato da un meandro, scomparso dopo la piena del 1557, dando vita all’odierno tracciato. Nel suburbio orientale della città il lobo meridionale dell’ansa fluviale veniva a dividere il territorio extraurbano in due parti, una in riva sinistra (la zona dell’attuale Borgo medievale ed aree circostanti), utilizzata prevalentemente come necropoli, ed una parte in riva destra (cd. Trastevere ostiense), inglobata all’interno dell’ansa e separata dalla città di Ostia dall’alveo fluviale. Lo studio interdisciplinare messo in atto in questi ultimi anni dall’équipe italo-franco-inglese, grazie alle ricerche d’archivio riguardo ai vecchi scavi novecenteschi effettuati nella zona, alle prospezioni geofisiche e ai carotaggi realizzati in tempi passati e recenti, ha permesso di ricostruire con maggiore chiarezza il contesto insediativo antico in relazione ai condizionamenti ambientali, permettendo di proporre alcune ipotesi circa l’utilizzo di questa parte del suburbio della città di Ostia in periodo tardorepubblicano ed imperiale.

Due «fratelli» frumentarii a Ostia e il tempio del piazzale delle Corporazioni

Published: December 2021

L’abbinamento di più frammenti già editi separatamente in CIL XIV (Ostia) ha permesso di ricostruire in buona parte un epistilio e una lastra contenenti iscrizioni relative a lavori di restauro. Quanto rimasto consente di avanzare l’ipotesi che i dedicanti siano i fratelli Pudens e Optatianus, frumentarii di un’unità legionaria non definibile, già noti per aver posto su una colonna, dietro la scena del teatro ostiense, una dedica al Genius kastrorum peregrinorum. I due fratelli sono stati in qualche modo coinvolti nei lavori di ristrutturazione e abbellimento, in età severiana, del teatro e del piazzale delle Corporazioni. In particolare viene analizzato architettonicamente il tempietto del Piazzale stesso, del quale si presenta una ricostruzione grafica e se ne ripropone la destinazione al culto imperiale.
#Medieval: “First World” medievalism and participatory culture
Authors: Elliott Andrew B.R.
Published: December 2021

Habermas’ identification of a ‘public sphere’ as a democratic, open, and fundamentally participatory space is often identified as the emergence of a kind of modern political consciousness1. Given its identification within the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it thus emerges as a modern invention to be contrasted against the implied feudalism of the Middle Ages2. However, at the same time, there is a growing recognition that such a public sphere belonging to the prosperous middle-classes is “less a signifier of democracy than a shift in power toward an educated, property-owning middle class ”3. The translation of a Habermasian public sphere to the equally ‘democratic’ Web 2.0 environment has prompted renewed celebrations of its apparently participatory online sphere, even if in the context of the above critique the parallels with a less demotic shift of power are abundantly clear. In this chapter, I analyse the use of the hashtag ‘#medieval’ across Instagram and Twitter in particular to explore the ways in which those same dominant voices have collocated and constructed the new Middle Ages through a so-called participatory culture. I will show how the medieval has come to be created, in the context of a narrower participatory culture than is usually imagined, as a specifically western, class-based phenomenon which both controls and constricts our abilities to connect with it.
Dispositivo interacional, interseccionalidade e biopotência: Nath Finanças, entre a autovalorização e a promoção da precariedade
Authors: Guimarães-Silva Pâmela
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, apresentamos a persona Nath Finanças, um projeto da estudante de administração e educadora financeira Nathália Rodrigues, para produzir conteúdos de educação financeira para pessoas de baixa renda em redes sociais, iniciado em fevereiro de 2019. Entendemos a atuação e presença digital como um dispositivo interacional (BRAGA, 2020) na medida em que ela organiza quadros de sentido e os modos de vida. Esse ano, o projeto Nath Finanças passou por um episódio em que foi vítima de escárnio, protagonizado pelo jornalista Luis Nassif.  As críticas, que tiveram apoio de outros internautas anônimos, colocaram em questão o limite entre autovalorização e promover precariedade. Tal questão se tornou o problema central deste artigo. Assim, o desenvolvemos a partir dos conceitos de biopotência (PELBART, 2002) e de interseccionalidade (CRENSHAW, 1989). Concluímos que o ataque apenas reflete uma recusa social à hermenêutica que considera os marcadores sociais de diferenças como cruciais para entender as interações e promover justiça social.

The main purpose of this study is to examine barriers towards e-commerce platforms in developing countries using specific analytic techniques. The present empirical analysis has its main objectives of detailed study of barriers that keep deferring them to adopt an e-commerce platform. To achieve this, the barriers were selected from an extensive literature review and expert advice from this field. Then the responses were studied using a fuzzy DEMATEL approach. The causal relationship graphs provide detailed structural interdependencies of the barriers. In this exploratory study benchmarking has come out to be the most influential barrier that needs to be practiced while adopting an e-commerce platform. Furthermore, a lack of top management commitment has also been a significant barrier in the organization while initiating an online real-time business. The result also showed that higher turnover and poor planning are the most influenced barrier among the other parameter, the sensitivity analysis of the method is conducted to validate the robustness of the results.

Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre ultrafiltração e gravidade de pacientes diagnosticados com lesão renal aguda com complicações clínicas decorrentes da hemodiálise. Método: Estudo transversal realizado num hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil. Foram incluídas todas as fichas diárias de sessões de hemodiálise de pacientes com lesão renal aguda submetidos à hemodiálise entre setembro e novembro de 2017. Para obtenção dos dados, elaborou-se um instrumento de coleta. Adotou-se nível de significância inferior a 5%. Resultados: Os 103 pacientes estudados fizeram um total de 519 sessões de hemodiálise. Prevaleceram pacientes do sexo masculino (66,7%) com 60 anos ou mais (51,5%). Cerca de metade dos pacientes apresentou volume médio de ultrafiltração >1501ml (51,5%). A maioria foi considerada grave (72,8%). Dentre as complicações, a mais prevalente foi a hipotensão (69,9%). A realização de um maior volume de ultrafiltração não se associou às complicações estudadas. Pacientes graves apresentaram maior chance para ocorrência de hipotensão (p<0,001 e OR: 33,73). Conclusão: Hipotensão durante a hemodiálise foi uma complicação frequente, ocorrendo em cerca de metade dos pacientes. Como não esteve associada a volumes maiores de ultrafiltração, conclui-se que, possivelmente, a maior gravidade do paciente seja um fator explicativo para o desenvolvimento dessa complicação.

Objetivo: construir e validar um instrumento para investigação do conhecimento de enfermeiros da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre pé diabético. Método: estudo metodológico realizado de janeiro a junho de 2017, que seguiu o Modelo de Elaboração de Escalas Psicométricas de Pasquali, em três etapas: teórica, empírica e analítica. Para validação de conteúdo, adotou-se a técnica de Delphi em dois momentos, com a participação de 10 juízes. A validade de construto foi realizada por 73 enfermeiros que atuavam nos serviços de APS do município de Campina Grande-PB. Aos dados, aplicou-se o Índice de Validação de Conteúdo (IVC). Resultados: construiu-se o “Questionário de Investigação do Conhecimento do Enfermeiro sobre Pé Diabético (QICEPeD)” com 47 itens organizados em 12 domínios de conhecimentos sobre a temática. Após a segunda rodada de avaliação dos juízes, todos os itens atingiram escores máximos de concordância (IVC = 1,00). A análise da confiabilidade e da consistência interna total do instrumento foi considerada elevada (α=0,860). Conclusão: o instrumento QICEPeD foi considerado válido, quanto ao conteúdo e construto, podendo ser utilizado para avaliar o conhecimento de enfermeiros da Atenção Primária sobre pé diabético.
