(U-Th)/He ages of Proterozoic-Paleozoic basement rocks from northern Chile (18-19° S) and implications on the Neogene uplift history of the Western Cordillera
Authors: García Marcelo , Aguilar Germán , Rodríguez María Pía , Metcalf James
Published: October 2022

In the Western Cordillera of northern Chile, the Proterozoic-Paleozoic Belén Metamorphic Complex is covered by late Oligocene-early Miocene (25-18 Ma) rocks, and both units are involved in west-vergent contractional deformation, which results in exhumation. A Miocene age (18 to 6 Ma) for deformation has been previously constrained by stratigraphy and cross-cutting relationships. To understand the youngest exhumation event and reverse faulting, we obtained 21 (U-Th)/He ages from two samples of the metamorphic rocks and the associate inverse thermal modeling. Five zircon (U-Th)/He ages from one sample are 113 to 226 Ma, very scattered, while five zircon ages from the other, are 20 to 49 Ma. The high dispersion of zircon (U-Th)/He data prevents the geological interpretation of results. Apatite grains from both samples yielded 11 (U-Th)/He ages between 10.4 and 18.7 Ma, with 9 values from 12.0 to 15.5 Ma. A slight positive correlation between apatite single-grain dates and effective uranium for 4 crystals of one sample

suggests relatively slow cooling. The T-t model including these 4 apatite ages shows continuous cooling from 15 to 0 Ma with a relatively more marked cooling period at 11-7 Ma. The middle-late Miocene thermal signal agrees with the geologic evolution of the region and would permit to date the last activity of the Chapiquiña-Belén reverse fault, which

uplifted and exhumed the metamorphic rocks. This signal is relatively similar to that the eastern Altiplano, but differs considerably from that the forearc.
Badhai
Authors: Hossain Adnan , Pamment Claire , Roy Jeff
Published: October 2022

This is the first full-length book to provide an introduction to badhai performances throughout South Asia, examining their characteristics and relationships to differing contexts in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Badhai’s repertoires of songs, dances, prayers, and comic repartee are performed by socially marginalised hijra, khwaja sira, and trans communities. They commemorate weddings, births and other celebratory heteronormative events. The form is improvisational and responds to particular contexts, but also moves across borders, including those of nation, religion, genre, and identity.

This collaboratively authored book draws from anthropology, theatre and performance studies, music and sound studies, ethnomusicology, queer and transgender studies, and sustained ethnographic fieldwork to examine badhai’s place-based dynamics, transcultural features, and communications across the hijrascape. This vital study explores the form’s changing status and analyses these performances’ layered, scalar, and sensorial practices, to extend ways of understanding hijra-khwaja sira-trans performance.
Beyond Religion and the Secular
Authors: Hudson Wayne
Published: October 2022

Deploying a distinctive disaggregative approach to the study of ‘religion’, this volume shows that spiritual movements with extensive counterfactual beliefs have been more creative – redeveloping older resources, often in unexpected ways – than one might expect.

Specifically, Wayne Hudson explores the creativity of six spiritual movements: the Bahá’ís, a Persian movement; Soka Gakkai, a Japanese movement; Ananda Marga and the Brahma Kumaris, two reformed Hindu movements; and The Church Universal and Triumphant and the Latter-Day Saints, two controversial American churches. Most of these six movements have counterintuitive features that would lead secular Western intellectuals, basing themselves on Enlightenment thinking, to dismiss them as irrelevant and inconsequential. However, this book reveals how these movements have responded to modernity in ways that are creative and practical, resulting in social, scientific, educational and cultural initiatives.

Building on research surrounding the ways in which spiritual movements engage in cultural productions, this book takes the discussion in a new direction, considering the utopian intentionality that such cultural productions reveal.
The Rhythm Image
Authors: Shaviro Steven
Published: October 2022

Music videos play a critical role in our age of ubiquitous streaming digital media. They project the personas and visions of musical artists; they stand at the cutting edge of developments in popular culture; and they fuse and revise multiple frames of reference, from dance to high fashion to cult movies and television shows to Internet memes. Above all, music videos are laboratories for experimenting with new forms of audiovisual expression.

The Rhythm Image explores all these dimensions. The book analyzes, in depth, recent music videos for artists ranging from pop superstar The Weeknd to independent women artists like FKA twigs and Dawn Richard. The music videos discussed in this book all treat the traditional themes of popular music: sex and romance, money and fame, and the lived experiences of race and gender. But they twist these themes in strange and unexpected ways, in order to reflect our entanglement with a digital world of social media, data gathering, and 24/7 demands upon our attention.
Physiological reactions to and recovery from acute stressors: the roles of chronic anxiety
and stable resources
Authors: Meurs James , Rossi Ana Maria , Perrewé Pamela , Kolinski Marek
Published: October 2022

Background

Research has shown that employees subjected to acute stressors at work can suffer devastating repercussions. However, little is known about how employees who are experiencing ongoing chronic anxiety or have stable resources respond to acute stressors, particularly regarding their physiological responses to these situations. This study examines the physiological effects of an acute stressor when workers are already under chronic anxiety (i.e., cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety) or when they have a stable resource (i.e., job control).

Participants and procedure

Data were collected from 230 full-time employees working at three major oil companies in Brazil. First, demographic, anxie-ty, and job control measures were collected via questionnaire. Later, muscle tension, skin temperature, and heart rate were collected during a simulated task to assess the physiological response to stress. Hypotheses were tested by repeated measures general linear modeling.

Results

The findings indicated that when employees were exposed to an acute stressor, those with chronic cognitive and somatic anxiety exhibited more heightened physiological responses than those lower on chronic anxiety. Further, compared to those with low control, employees with stable, high control over their work experienced a lower physiological reaction to the acute stressor.

Conclusions

Chronic anxiety generates high levels of physiological arousal and hyper-responsiveness to acute environmental stressors. Also, employees possessing stable resources, such as job control, experience reduced physiological responsivity to an acute stressor.
Management control en de motivatie van medewerkers: effecten van sociale aansturing in de publieke sector
Authors: Speklé Roland , van Veen-Dirks Paula , Verbeeten Frank
Published: October 2022

Motivatie van medewerkers is ook in de publieke sector van belang om de taken op een goede manier te vervullen. Een vraag die hierbij gesteld kan worden is of de motivatie van medewerkers kan worden beïnvloed door gebruik te maken van sociale aansturingsinstrumenten. Dit artikel richt zich op het beantwoorden van deze vraag en maakt daarvoor gebruik van een survey-onderzoek dat is uitgevoerd bij 162 managers in publiekesectororganisaties. De resultaten laten zien dat zowel personeelsaansturing als cultuuraansturing (de twee vormen van sociale aansturing waar we ons in dit onderzoek op richten) een positief en significant indirect effect hebben op medewerkersmotivatie via betrokkenheid; ofwel, de positieve effecten van sociale aansturing op medewerkersmotivatie worden volledig gemedieerd door betrokkenheid.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY MODEL BASED ON LOCAL POTENTIAL IN ECO-TOURISM AREA (STUDY ON WONOREJO MANGROVE ECOTOURISM, SURABAYA CITY)
Authors: Winarto  , Sri Hartati Setyowarni
Published: October 2022

A big challenge in entrepreneurship is to ensure the sustainability of entrepreneurship. So far, the interest in doing business has not been followed by adequate capacity in running a business, including in the tourism sector and the marine sector. In this context, ecotourism in coastal areas has the potential to encourage the growth of entrepreneurship as an economic activity for the local community. This research was conducted on the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism which is a tourist destination in Surabaya. This research was conducted using Force Field Analysis. The purpose of this study is to examine and explain forms of entrepreneurship based on the local economy. The results of this study indicate that the local potential-based entrepreneurship development model is supported by two approaches, namely intensification and extensification strategies. The main orientation of the objectives is the appropriateness of the target group and the effective sustainability of the program.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Ecotourism, Entrepreneurship Development Model.
Precipitable water vapor retrievals using a ground infrared sky camera in subtropical South America
Authors: Hack Elion Daniel , Pauliquevis Theotonio , Barbosa Henrique Melo Jorge , Yamasoe Marcia Akemi , Klebe Dimitri , Correia Alexandre Lima
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The atmospheric precipitable water vapor (PWV) is a critical quantity in fast-changing weather processes. Current retrieval techniques lack the spatial and/or temporal resolution necessary for a full PWV characterization. Here we investigate a retrieval method using an all-sky ground camera comprising a 14-bit 644 x 512-pixel microbolometer sensor array. The radiometrically calibrated infrared downwelling spectral radiance, Lλ, was acquired at rates of up to 3 min−1. For the studied site (23.56° S, 46.74° W, 786 m asl) and spectral interval, Lλ is sensitive to the PWV, the vertical distribution of humidity, and their temporal, spatial, or seasonal variations. By comparing measured and simulated Lλ, we show the PWV can be retrieved from prior knowledge about the local humidity profile. This information can originate from radiosonde data or statistical analysis of past vertical humidity distributions. Comparison with sunphotometer PWV retrievals, for stable atmospheric conditions, showed an agreement of the average PWV within 2.8 % and a precision of subsequent retrievals of 1.9 %. The PWV was also retrieved as a bidimensional array, allowing the investigation of spatial inhomogeneities of humidity distribution. The method can be used for day or nighttime retrievals, under partly cloudy sky conditions. Potential applications include studies on convection initiation processes.
Validating the spatial variability of the semidiurnal internal tide in a realistic global ocean simulation with Argo and mooring data
Authors: Geoffroy Gaspard , Nycander Jonas , Buijsman Maarten C. , Shriver Jay F. , Arbic Brian K.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The total variance and decorrelation of the semidiurnal internal tide (IT) are examined in a 32-day segment of a global run of the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). This numerical simulation, with 41 vertical layers and 1/25 degree horizontal resolution, includes tidal and atmospheric forcing allowing for the generation and propagation of IT to take place within a realistic eddying general circulation. The HYCOM data are in turn compared with global observations of the IT around 1,000 dbar, from Argo float park phase data and mooring records. HYCOM is found to be globally biased low in terms of total variance and decorrelation of the semidiurnal IT over timescales shorter than 32 days. Except in the Southern Ocean, where limitations in the model causes the discrepancy with in situ measurements to grow poleward, the spatial correlation between the Argo and HYCOM inferred total variance suggests that the generation of low-mode semidiurnal IT is globally well captured by the model.

Abstract. Extreme drought events in Amazon forests are expected to become more frequent and more intense with climate change, threatening ecosystem function and carbon balance. Yet large uncertainties exist on the resilience of this ecosystem to drought. A better quantification of tree hydraulics and mortality processes is needed to anticipate future drought effects on Amazon forests. Most state-of-the-art dynamic global vegetation models are relatively poor in their mechanistic description of these complex processes. Here, we implement a mechanistic plant hydraulic module within the ORCHIDEE-CAN-NHA r7236 land surface model to simulate the percentage loss of conductance (PLC) and changes in water storage among organs via a representation of the water potentials and vertical water flows along the continuum from soil to roots, stems and leaves. The model was evaluated against observed seasonal variability in stand-scale sap flow, soil moisture and productivity under both control and drought setups at the Caxiuanã throughfall exclusion field experiment in eastern Amazonia between 2001 and 2008. A relationship between PLC and tree mortality is built in the model from two empirical parameters, the cumulated duration of drought exposure that triggers mortality, and the mortality fraction in each day exceeding the exposure. Our model captures the large biomass drop in the year 2005 observed 4 years after throughfall reduction, and produces comparable annual tree mortality rates with observation over the study period. Our hydraulic architecture module provides promising avenues for future research in assimilating experimental data to parameterize mortality due to drought-induced xylem dysfunction. We also highlight that species-based (isohydric or anisohydric) hydraulic traits should be further tested to generalize the model performance in predicting the drought risks.
Instantaneous LEM back-analyses of major rockslides triggered during the 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Among the almost 1400 landslides triggered by the shocks of the 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence, only a limited number, all classifiable as rockslides, involved volumes larger than 100 m3. Four of these failures, including the three largest, were described in terms of structural and geomechanical investigations in a previous study. In this paper, the mechanics of these failures under seismic actions are investigated. The estimated acceleration time histories at the rockslide sites were evaluated through a 2D simplified numerical model accounting for the attenuation phenomena and for the topographic effect of the rock cliffs from which the slide detached. Instantaneous stability analyses were carried out to obtain insights into the variability of the instantaneous margin of safety along the development of the shocks over the entire spectrum of mechanisms that could be activated. Finally, some general suggestions on the pseudo-static verification method for three-dimensional cases are proposed, which represent useful indications to hazard evaluation at local and regional scale.
Offshore wind farm optimisation: a comparison of performance between regular and irregular wind turbine layouts
Authors: Sickler Maaike , Ummels Bart , Zaaijer Michiel , Schmehl Roland , Dykes Katherine
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Layout optimisation is essential for improving the overall performance of offshore wind farms. During the past 15 years, the use of yield optimisation algorithms has resulted in a transition from regular to more irregular farm layouts. However, since the layout affects many factors, yield optimisation alone may not maximise the overall performance. In this paper, a comparative case study is presented to quantify the effect of the wind farm layout on the overall performance of offshore wind farms. The case study was performed to investigate two performance indicators: power performance, using yield calculations with WindPRO and wake-induced tower fatigue, using the Frandsen model. It is observed that irregular wind farm layouts have a higher annual energy production compared to regular layouts. Their power production is also more persistent (less sensitive) to wind direction, improving predictability and thus market value of power output. However, one turbine location in the irregular layout has a 24 % higher effective turbulence level, leading to additional tower fatigue. As a result, fatigue-driven tower designs would require increased wall thicknesses, which would result in higher capital costs for all turbine locations. It is demonstrated in this study that layout optimisation using a minimum inter-turbine spacing effectively resolves the induced wake issue while maintaining high-yield performance.

Published: October 2022

Most of the studies aimed at analyzing academic dishonesty amongst university students target the undergraduate cluster. This study aims to improve this situation by exploring and describing the opinion and perception of postgraduate degree academic heads (i.e. university vice-rectors, heads of the doctoral programs, heads of the postgraduate office, etc.) about the prevalence, evolution, and severity of dishonest behaviors and misconducts potentially committed by students in order to generate evidences that can help improving institutional strategies and policies to confront academic misconduct. The research it is based on the results of an online questionnaire administered to 102 postgraduate studies academic heads from 42 Spanish universities in relation to: improper conduct during exams and tests, dishonest behavior in the preparation or writing of assignments and dissertations, dishonest practices of a general nature and, finally, dishonest behavior in research. The study results highlight that the most prevalent practices and those that have increased the most are related to the preparation and submission of academic assignments and written activities and, also, research related activities. Regarding the severity, there is considerable consensus among Spanish academic heads that most of the dishonest actions analyzed are very serious and critical behaviors. In general terms, the results obtained point out focus areas of possible interventions aimed at the prevention, detection and punishment of fraudulent and dishonest behaviors in postgraduate studies, with the analysis of the degree of consensus/dissent among academic heads being a key element when designing and implementing these reforms and institutional interventions. This paper covers a deficit of evidences regarding academic integrity in postgraduate level and it does it using relevant informants: academic postgraduate heads, a target group that has high relevance as can generate synergies of change and improvement on the situation described by the present study.

Study objective: Family businesses gain notoriety in academic research because they have peculiarities found with the phenomenon of generations, and it is for these attributes that this work aims to analyze the epistemological bias, the results of a systematization that uses the unique characteristics of family businesses, called Familiness, as well as by another construct better known as entrepreneurial orientation. Methodology/approach: To reach this objective, an investigation of the national and international academic production was carried out through a systematization called Proknow-C, being possible to identify the main categorical groups of authors in the area, main journals, as well as to identify and analyze the main objectives and the contributions of the selected scientific articles. Relevance/originality: This study reinforces the unique characteristics of family businesses, in which this work aims to consolidate a methodological proposal with arguments linked to positivism or interpretivism in full epistemology. Main results: Among the results, it was possible to consolidate some research intentions inherent to the junction of such constructs, besides directing, which may be the best and most promising research fields for the application of these constructs and the most indicated methods, guided by the three epistemological positions, subjectivism, objectivism and constructivism.
A Comparison of High School Graduation Predictors Between Two Ontario Student Cohorts
Authors: Robson Karen , Malette Nicole Solanges , Anisef Paul , Maier Reana , Brown Robert
Published: October 2022

While a number of factors have already been shown to impact variations in graduation rates among students in Canada, there is little research examining the changing impact of these factors on Ontario students’ secondary education completion over time. This research draws on data from two Grade 9 cohorts (2006 and 2011) from the Toronto District School Board in order to unpack how predictors of high school graduation change over time. In particular, we use multivariate analysis to examine whether predictors (including gender, race, parental education, household income, suspension, academic achievement, special education needs, and Grade 9 absenteeism) are significant by cohort of students and if there are gaps in secondary school success between subgroups. Findings demonstrate that high school completion is increasing over time and that there is a diminishing importance of parental education and neighbourhood household income as a predictor of high school graduation. However, we do find evidence of persistent under-achievement among students of certain racial backgrounds, lower academic streams, and those with high rates of absenteeism. We argue that additional data infrastructure in Ontario and beyond are necessary to identify how our findings generalize to the province as a whole.
Digital Dashboards for Summative Assessment and Indicators Misinterpretation: A Case Study
Authors: Cisel Matthieu
Published: October 2022

Over the last decade, teachers in France have been increasingly pressured to use digital learning environments, and to shift from grade-based to skill-based assessment. Educational dashboards, which measure student input electronically, could foster such a transition by providing insights into learners’ performances. However, such dashboards could also foster data misinterpretation during the summative assessment process, should the indicators that they display be used without a proper understanding of what they reflect. This article presents a methodology to detect potential mistakes in the interpretation of the indicators in the context of inquiry-based learning. During the design of a learning environment, we analyzed, through analytics and classroom observations in primary and middle schools, the issues that could arise from the use of a dashboard. Our data suggest that the amount of information practitioners needed to collect to make indicators relevant was burdensome, making the dashboard unfit for assessment purposes at the scale of a classroom.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP TEACHING FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT AMONG HIGHER LEARNING STUDENTS IN TANZANIA: A LESSON LEARNT FROM SUCCESSFUL GRADUATE ENTREPRENEURS

Published: October 2022

Despite several years of investing entrepreneurship education in Tanzanian higher learning education, still a large portion of graduates are incompetent, hence, they cannot start-up their own business ventures. The current study employed the Social Learning Theory to explore effective teaching and assessment methods appropriate to entrepreneurship education in order to create self-employed graduates of higher learning education by drawing experience from some successful graduate entrepreneurs in Tanzania. The study aimed at filling the gap in the literature by exploring effective teaching methods and assessment procedures for entrepreneurship education to enhance selfemployment among graduates of higher learning education in Tanzania. This is a qualitative study that applied a mixedmethod approach utilizing interviews, observation, and document review in data collection. The study was done in Dar es Salaam City using both purposive and snowball chain sampling techniques whereby, 65 respondents participated in the study. The collected data were analysed using content analysis technique in which themes were generated and discussed in accordance with the research questions. The findings of the study indicated that, in Tanzania, traditional teaching methods are mostly used to teach entrepreneurship education in higher learning education. Lecturing teaching method and paper and pencil form of assessment are commonly preferred by instructors while teaching entrepreneurship education. Graduates of higher learning education do encounter several challenges, and those challenges are connected to individual weaknesses of a graduate, poor preparation of students in higher learning education, failure of legal compliance, and lack of financial capital. Based on the observed challenges, the study recommends the following: Firstly, students should effectively be engaged in practical activities related to entrepreneurship while still at the colleges and universities. Secondly, all instructors teaching entrepreneurship education should be equipped with sufficient knowledge through in-service trainings in order to update them with relevant skills needed in the markets. Thirdly, instructors should create a balance between theoretical and practical learning while teaching entrepreneurship education, and for the research purpose, colleges, and universities should have their own database concerning with graduates who have succeeded to employ themselves after graduation

Authors:   College of Business Education (CBE), Assenga Modest
Published: October 2022

This paper examines the effects of the board structure variables of board size, outside directors and CEO duality on firm financial performance of the listed firms in Tanzania. This study uses a sample of listed Tanzanian firms from 2006 to 2018 and uses balanced panel data Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis of 120 firms-year observations obtained from the firmsâ€™ audited annual reports and the OSIRIS database. Furthermore, in order to address the endogeneity problem, this study uses the Random effect regression model and the Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) regression model as a robustness test. The results show that the smaller the board size with a higher proportion of outside directors and no CEO duality, the greater the firmâ€™s financial performance. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between board structure and financial performance and it provides academic evidence to Tanzanian policy makers of current and future Corporate Governance reforms. First, dissimilar to most previous Corporate Governance literature that relates to developed countries, this study examines the effects of the board structure variables of board size, outside directors and CEO duality in Tanzania which is a developing country where very few Corporate Governance research studies have been conducted. It addresses the endogeneity problems between board structure and firm financial performance using Random effect regression and Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) regression models

This study empirically assesses employment among college students in Tanzania. It examined the effect of age and gender on student employment, the factors that lead employed people to join undergraduate studies, and identified ways that colleges may use to help employed students to succeed in their studies in Tanzania. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and analyzed quantitatively through descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression. Logistic regression results showed that the employment probability was steadily increasing between ages 18 to 33, but then after it decreases steadily with age at least after age 34, and the male students had an average chance of employment 2.15 times the chance of female students. Descriptive statistics results showed that the factor that leads employed people to join undergraduate studies were: the need for technical skills, knowledge, exposure, job security, social status, job market, job promotion, get new friends, internal motivation, and unemployment. Also, the results showed that the ways to improve education success among employed students were the introduction of evening courses, student interaction with instructors, offering students access to an academic advisor, career counseling, offering weekend courses, increase the students' assessment criteriaâ€™s, involve students in outreach activities, and offering the online courses.
“Within the Circle”: Space and Surveillance in Frederick Douglass’s Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
Authors: Haase Felix
Published: October 2022

The detailed and chilling descriptions of physical violence in many slave narratives often overshadow the fact that slaveholders in the American South also relied on an intricate system of surveillance to control and exploit their slaves. In this essay, I argue that Frederick Douglass’s first autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave pictures surveillance, especially its production of space, as a central tool of slavery. The resulting spatial boundaries are invested with metaphorical meaning and serve as an expression of Douglass’s emancipation. The first part of the paper considers the plantation architecture and outlines how overseers, slave patrols and panopticism create seemingly impermeable boundaries for Douglass, which are both of physical and psychological nature. I further demonstrate how the architecture of Baltimore’s city space leads to a loosening of surveillance and allows Douglass to become literate. Finally, I draw on Jurij Lotmann’s theory of aesthetic space in order to analyze how spatial boundaries are crossed and metaphorical boundaries between whiteness and blackness are rendered contingent in the Narrative.
Sexual Objectification of Women in Alcohol Print Advertisements in the Philippines
Authors: John Achileeus M. Benonguil
Published: October 2022

This research explores the sexual objectification of women as core models perpetuated by alcohol advertisements. The findings are based on five (5) distinct print advertisements from the leading alcohol brands in the Philippines. The research focuses on how women are portrayed stereotypically in print advertisements. The research utilized both critical discourse analysis (CDA) and semiotics. It allows scholars to examine how various meanings and ideologies are produced, digested, and legitimized via social behaviors, instead of only reviewing discursive texts. The study is predicated on Fairclough's three-dimensional framework: description (textual characteristics), interpretation (discursive practice), and explanation (social practice). According to the findings, ads promote gender inequity. Advertisers use a concentrated technique to depict sexual gender stereotypes against women in alcohol ads. Such advertising supports the notion that women have sexually exploitative and fantasizing images in the alcohol industry, with men as large consumers. The study also indicates how the female role may be portrayed in other marketing industries evaluating alternative multimodal texts.
Practitioners’ Understanding Of Cross-Cultural Prevalence Data On Child Sexual Abuse (CSA): Results From A Program Evaluation Study In Australia
Authors:   Scholar Freedom Pty Ltd, Sawrikar Pooja
Published: October 2022

Prevalence data is generally seen as objective and true; providing justified evidence to address crimes such as CSA. However, the many barriers to disclosure including cultural and racial factors for ethnic minorities mean that prevalence data needs to be regarded with caution. A program addressing this need was delivered across Australia in 2019 and evaluated over six months using mixed-methods (T1 n=112; T2 n=44). It found that practitioners (social workers, counsellors, psychologists) already have a ‘healthy distrust’ of the numbers, and the program seemed to increase this. Overall, caution in the clinical setting is important for mitigating racism, but the positivist research and policy landscape may need to question its trust of ‘objective’ numeric data, else it could further perpetuate risk of systemic harm. The child’s right to safety regardless of cultural background is seen to provide the impetus to address CSA, not the apparent size of the problem.

A Study on Lexical Chunks in Different Moves of Abstracts of Native and Chinese Applied Linguistic Journals
Authors: Huang Danfeng , Lv Chen
Published: October 2022

The norm for abstracts of research articles (RAs) is important and will win the RAs more chances of being received. The analysis of how abstracts are written in papers published in well-recognized international journals can serve as a reference to help writers conform to the norm. This paper, adopting Hyland’s classification and Santos’ framework, employing a corpus-based method, compares how native and Chinese writers use lexical chunks differently in abstracts from a perspective of move analysis. The results show that Chinese writers tend to use more lexical chunks; there is no significant difference in the functional distribution on the whole but significant differences are found in two moves of “situating the research” and “discussing the research”.

The Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland

The article addresses organizational legitimacy in the public services, conducting an analysis of the records of the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (OPONI) 2000-2018. A framework of organizational legitimacy provides a basis for examining OPONI’s record with respect to fulfilment of purpose, administrative efficiency and outcomes. Results suggest that OPONI needs to adjust to changing societal circumstances in Northern Ireland to sustain its role in persuading the people that policing is both fair and appropriate. A strategic reset is required given the diminished number of complaints cases linked to political conflict in order to avoid inadvertently destabilizing the post-conflict governance of policing.
