Authors: Sarzała Dariusz
Published: February 2023

Problematyka artykułu ukierunkowana jest na analizę skutków pandemii COVID-19 w kontekście funkcjonowania rodziny. Celem badania było uzyskanie odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jaki sposób wywołane pandemią zmiany dotyczące edukacji szkolnej oddziaływały na funkcjonowanie rodziny jako środowiska wychowawczego. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę najnowszych znaczących publikacji naukowych i raportów dotyczących podjętych rozważań zawierających istotne wyniki badań odnoszące się do wpływu pandemii na środowisko rodzinne. Na po§dstawie przeprowadzonej analizy przedstawiono wnioski odnoszące się do przyjętego celu badań, z których wynika, że pandemia Covid-19, była trudną sytuacją dla rodziny zarówno w sferze edukacji szkolnej jak i oddziaływań wychowawczych oraz stanowiła źródło zaburzeń w funkcjonowaniu rodziny jako środowiska wychowania. W konsekwencji zakłóciła ona nie tylko rutynę funkcjonowania rodziny i pełnienie ról, lecz także spowodowała zmianę relacji rodzinnych, zakres opieki nad dziećmi, dotychczasowy model pomocy dzieciom w nauce szkolnej oraz realizację aktywności zawodowej, a także zaczęła stanowić źródło stresu i wypalenia rodzicielskiego. W związku z tym wskazane jest podjęcie wielopłaszczyznowych działań ukierunkowanych na zniwelowanie niekorzystnych zjawisk będących jej skutkami oraz podnoszenie umiejętności w zakresie kompetencji wychowawczych rodziców i odreagowywania emocji w sytuacjach trudnych.

Authors: Szischik Candela , Inchaussandague Marina , Skigin Diana
Published: February 2023

Inspired by the microstructures in the wing scales of the butterfly Dione vanillae, we investigate the optical response of two multilayer structures, which include one or two corrugated interfaces. The reflectance is calculated using the C-method and is compared with that of a planar multilayer. We perform a detailed analysis of the influence of each geometric parameter and study the angular response, which is important for structures exhibiting iridescence. The results of this study aim to contribute to the design of multilayer structures with predetermined optical responses.

Published: February 2023

In order to realize colorimetric characterization for the wide-color-gamut camera, we propose using the multilayer artificial neural network (ML-ANN) with the error-backpropagation algorithm, to model the color conversion from the RGB space of camera to the XYZ space of the CIEXYZ standard. In this paper, the architecture model, forward-calculation model, error-backpropagation model, and the training policy of the ML-ANN were introduced. Based on the spectral reflectance curves of the ColorChecker-SG blocks and the spectral sensitivity functions of the RGB channels of typical color cameras, the method of producing the wide-color-gamut samples for the training and testing of the ML-ANN was proposed. Meanwhile, the comparative experiment employing different polynomial transforms with the least-square method was conducted. The experimental results have shown that, with the increase of the hidden layers and the neurons in each hidden layer, the training and testing errors can be decreased obviously. The mean training errors and mean testing errors of the ML-ANN with optimal hidden layers have been decreased to 0.69 and 0.84 (color difference of CIELAB), respectively, which is much better than all the polynomial transforms, including quartic polynomial transform.
Evaluation of a correlation phase recovery method to be used in temporal speckle pattern interferometry with noise contaminated specklegrams
Authors: Tendela Lucas Pedro , Galizzi Gustavo Ernesto
Published: February 2023

When a phase distribution is evaluated in temporal speckle pattern interferometry, the accuracy of the retrieved phase distribution depends on how the different phase recovery methods deal with the influence of low-frequency noise and intensity bias. In this paper, we show that the proposed correlation method can effectively recover the phase distribution in time series of speckle interferograms that are affected by sets of adjacent non-modulated pixels, combined with very small phase changes between successive frames. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed when the retrieved optical phase distributions are coded in noisy temporal speckle pattern interferometry signals presenting large regions of adjacent low-modulated pixels. It is also compared with the data measured with the well-known one-dimensional Fourier transform technique, and the three-dimensional directional wavelet transform method. The performance of the proposed phase retrieval technique is compared with these last two methods using computer-simulated speckle interferograms, and the advantages and limitations of the proposed method are discussed. Finally, the performance of the proposed correlation technique to process real data is illustrated.
Resonant radiation emitted by solitary waves via cascading in quadratic media
Authors: Bu Lili , Chen Shihua , Baronio Fabio , Trillo Stefano
Published: February 2023

We present a systematic investigation of the resonant radiation emitted by localized soliton-like wave-packets supported by second-harmonic generation in the cascading regime. We emphasize a general mechanism which allows for the resonant radiation to grow without the need for higher-order dispersion, primarily driven by the second-harmonic component, while radiation is also shed around the fundamental-frequency component through parametric down-conversion processes. The ubiquity of such a mechanism is revealed with reference to different localized waves such as bright solitons (both fundamental and second-order), Akhmediev breathers, and dark solitons. A simple phase matching condition is put forward to account for the frequencies radiated around such solitons, which agrees well with numerical simulations performed against changes of material parameters (say, phase mismatch, dispersion ratio). The results provide explicit understanding of the mechanism of soliton radiation in quadratic nonlinear media.
Deep learning-enabled broadband full-Stokes polarimeter with a portable fiber optical spectrometer
Authors: Xian Shilin , Yang Xiu , Zhou Jie , Gao Fuhua , Hou Yidong
Published: February 2023

Portable fiber optical spectrometers (PFOSs) have been widely used in the contemporary industrial and agricultural production and life due its low cost and small volume. PFOSs mainly combine one fiber to guide light and one optical spectrometer to detect spectra. In this work, we demonstrate that PFOSs can work as a broadband full-Stokes polarimeter through slightly bending the fiber several times and establishing the mapping relationship between the Stokes parameters S^ and the bending-dependent light intensities I^, i.e., S^=f(I^). The different bending geometries bring different birefringence effects and reflection effects that change the polarization state of the out-going light. In the meanwhile, the grating owns a polarization-depended diffraction efficiency especially for the asymmetric illumination geometry that introduces an extrinsic chiroptical effect, which is sensitive to both the linear and spin components of light. The minimum mean squared error (MSE) can reach to smaller than 1% for
S
1,
S
2, and
S
3 at 810 nm, and the averaged MSE in the wave band from 440 nm to 840 nm is smaller than 2.5%, where the working wavelength can be easily extended to arbitrary wave band by applying PFOSs with proper parameters. Our findings provide a convenient and practical method for detecting full-Stokes parameters.
Form birefringent polymeric structures realized by 3D laser printing
Authors: Mizeikis Vygantas , Gailevičius Darius , Paipulas Domas , Hada Shota , Kretkowski Maciej
Published: February 2023

Fabrication of form birefringent structures using the 3D laser printing technique promises realization of polarization-sensitive photonic microstructures in cheap and widely available materials, such as plastics or polymers. However, achieving the quarter- and half-wave phase retardation levels needed for applications still remains a challenge. Thickness of the birefringent region, usually consisting of simple 1D gratings, must be sufficiently high to ensure the required retardance, making the laser printed gratings prone to mechanical collapse. Here we demonstrate mechanically robust 3D form birefringent structures whose thickness and phase retardation can be increased without the loss of mechanical stability, and report on the 3D laser printing of self-supporting, super-compact polymeric structures exhibiting the quarter-wave and half-wave plate functionalities at optical wavelengths. In the future similar structures can be used as the building blocks of 3D laser-printed photonic devices
Geometrical optical analysis of gradient refractive index microresonator
Authors: Chen Tianci , Kang Zhaofeng , Yang Yu , ZHAO SHUAI , Zhang Jun , Zhang Lei , Wang Keyi
Published: February 2023

Optical microresonators confine light to small volumes through resonant circulation. Herein, the whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators have high Q factors among these microresonators, which have significant research value in the fields of fundamental physics research and optoelectronic devices. However, maintaining a very high surface finish on the side of the microresonator is necessary, and keeping a coupling distance of tens of nanometers between the microresonator and the coupling waveguide. Thus, this makes the fabrication, coupling, and packaging of the microresonator very difficult, and seriously hinders the practical application of the microresonator. In this study, the concept of gradient refractive index (GRIN) microresonator is proposed, and the radial GRIN is introduced to change the light direction and form a closed optical path within the microresonator. Herein, the mode field position of the GRIN microresonator is derived from the light transmission equation, and the theoretical result is proved by FDTD simulation. Hence, there are several advantages to using this novel optical microresonator, including its high Q factor, strong coupling stability, and ease of integration.

Authors: Qi Xiaoguang , Zhang Muzi , Hao Xianglong , Jiang Lili , Gao Wenyue , wu qi
Published: February 2023

In this work, we developed a LED-induced fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) module with an integrated and compact structure. Based on a demonstrated development scheme, lucigenin solution was used as testing samples in the evaluation trials to elaborate on its fluorescence detection capability. Results show that the FCS module has an outstanding linear response in the range of 0 to 1 μmol·L-1; and its sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) are 0.1692 V/μmol·L-1 and 0.03μmol·L-1, respectively. Statistical analysis shows that our FCS module has extremely high repeatability and accuracy, i.e., the values of Pearson's correlation coefficient and root-mean-square error are better than 0.9995 and 1.8‰, respectively. This module offers new opportunities for a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use FCS, especially in resource-constrained applications.
Parametric Thermo-Optical Simulations of Quantum Cascade Laser Waveguides
Authors: Shabdurasulov Kirill
Published: February 2023

Double channel planar waveguides for quantum cascade lasers are represented two-dimentionally in the transverse plane. Thermal and optical simulations are implemented over a set of geometrical parameters pertaining to the active region of the laser. The process of fine-tuning of the simulation is discussed in the context of optical modes. Spacial profiles of electric and magnetic fields for zero-order and first-order quasi-transverse-magnetic and quasi-transverse-electric modes are compared. A partially automated process of extracting the fundamental lasing mode is proposed. Limitations of simulation-based methods are discussed.

Published: February 2023

Though postpartum family planning helps women to achieve the recommended birth interval before next pregnancy, its utilization in Ethiopia is low. Understanding drivers and barriers is key to improve postpartum family planning uptake. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyze and summarize predictors of postpartum family planning uptake, during the first year after birth, in Ethiopia. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies published in English before April 16, 2021. We searched electronic sources like PubMed, MEDLINE, CINHAL Embase, Google and supplemented it with manual search. Two reviewers appraised independently the studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Tool for the observational studies. Data synthesis and analysis were conducted using Review Manager Version 5.3. The Cochrane Q test statistic and I2 tests were used to assess the heterogeneity among the included studies. A random-effects and fixed effect model were used to calculate pooled Odds Ratio and its 95% CI. A total of 22 studies were included in the review. Better educational status of women[OR = 2.60; 95% CI: 2.15, 3.14], women’s marital status [OR = 4.70; 95% CI: 1.51, 14.60], resumption of sexual intercourse [OR = 6.22; 95% CI: 3.01, 12.86], menses return [OR = 3.72; 95% CI: 1.98, 6.99], PPFP discussion with partner [OR = 2.53; 95% CI: 2.00, 3.20], women’s previous PPFP information [OR = 4.93; 95% CI: 2.26, 10.76], PPFP counseling during ANC [OR = 3.95; 95% CI: 2.50, 6.23], having PNC [OR = 4.22; 95% CI: 2.80, 6.34], having experience of modern contraceptive use [OR = 2.90; 95% CI: 1.62, 5.19], facility birth [OR = 6.70; 95% CI: 3.15, 14.25], and longer interval after last delivery [OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.43] were significantly associated with modern contraceptive uptake during postpartum period. Our systematic review identified modifiable factors and estimated their association with PPFP uptake. Since most of these factors are related to reproductive health characteristics and MNCH services, integrating PPFP into MNCH services particularly at primary health care unit may improve contraceptive uptake during postpartum period.

Physiological response to self-compassion versus relaxation in a clinical population
Authors: Naismith Iona , Otto Scheiber Clara Sophie , Gonzalez Rodriguez Daniela , Petrocchi Nicola
Published: February 2023

Background

Compassion-focused imagery (CFI) can be an effective emotion-regulation technique but can create threat-focused responses in some individuals. However, these findings have been based on tasks involving receiving compassion from others.

Aims

This study sought to compare responses CFI involvingself-compassion to relaxation and a control task, and to see whether any threat-responses to self-compassion and relaxation decrease with practice.

Method

25 participants with depression/anxiety symptoms and high self-criticism and/or low self-compassion engaged in three tasks (control task, relaxation imagery, and CFI) at three or four separate testing sessions, every three days. Heart-rate variability (HRV) was used to explore group-level differences between tasks. Additionally, we identified how many individuals showed a clinically significant change in HRV in response to compassion (compared to baseline) and how many showed such a change during relaxation (compared to baseline).

Results

During session 1, more individuals had a clinically significant increase in HRV in response to CFI (56%) than in response to relaxation (44%), and fewer had a clinically significant decrease in HRV during CFI (16%) than during relaxation (28%). Comparing the group as a whole, no significant differences between tasks were seen. Repeated sessions led to fewer positive responses to CFI, perhaps reflecting habituation/boredom.

Conclusions

These preliminary findings suggest thatin high self-critics (those most likely to find self-compassion difficult), self-compassionate imagery is no more challenging than standard relaxation tasks. For both compassion and relaxation, some individuals respond positively and others negatively. For those who are not benefiting, practice alone isnotsufficient to improve response. Effects may differ for other compassion tasks.

The accuracy of an electronic nose to diagnose tuberculosis in patients referred to an expert centre
Authors: Coronel Teixeira Rosarito , Gómez Luis , González Eva , Jiménez de Romero Nilda , González Felipe , Aguirre Sarita , Boeree Martin , Janssen Robin , Magis-Escurra Cecile
Published: February 2023

Introduction

An electronic nose (eNose) device has shown a high specificity and sensitivity to diagnose or rule out tuberculosis (TB) in the past. The aim of this study was to evaluate its performance in patients referred to INERAM.

Methods

Patients aged ≥15 years were included. A history, physical examination, chest radiography (CRX) and microbiological evaluation of a sputum sample were performed in all participants, as well as a 5-minute breath test with the eNose. TB diagnosis was preferably established by the gold standard and compared to the eNose predictions. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess potential risk factors for erroneous classification results by the eNose.

Results

107 participants with signs and symptoms of TB were enrolled of which 91 (85.0%) were diagnosed with TB. The blind eNose predictions resulted in an accuracy of 50%; a sensitivity of 52.3% (CI 95%: 39.6–64.7%) and a specificity of 36.4% (CI 95%: 12.4–68.4%). Risk factors for erroneous classifications by the eNose were older age (multivariate analysis: OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.10–2.18, p = 0.012) and antibiotic use (multivariate analysis: OR 3.19, 95% CI 1.06–9.66, p = 0.040).

Conclusion

In this study, the accuracy of the eNose to diagnose TB in a tertiary referral hospital was only 50%. The use of antibiotics and older age represent important factors negatively influencing the diagnostic accuracy of the eNose. Therefore, its use should probably be restricted to screening in high-risk communities in less complex healthcare settings.
General knowledge norms: Updated and expanded for German
Authors: Wertgen Andreas G. , Richter Tobias
Published: February 2023

The general knowledge questions introduced by Nelson and Narens (Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 19(3), 338–368, 1980) have been a valuable research tool in various areas of cognitive research. We translated, updated, and expanded the set of questions for German. We present a total set of 356 general knowledge questions with their recall probability as well as metacognitive measures—confidence and peer judgments—based on a university student sample (N = 512). Furthermore, we present response latencies, pairwise correlations between recall probability and metacognitive judgments as well as the most common commission errors. These general knowledge questions can be used in studies with German speaking participants in a broad range of research fields, such as memory, illusory truth, misinformation, and metacognitive processes.

Published: February 2023

Physician wellness is critical for patient safety and quality of care. Coaching has been successfully and widely applied across many industries to enhance well-being but has only recently been considered for physicians. This review aimed to summarize the existing evidence on the effect of coaching by trained coaches on physician well-being, distress and burnout. MEDLINE, Embase, ERIC, PsycINFO and Web of Science were searched without language restrictions to December 21, 2022. Studies of any design were included if they involved physicians of any specialty undergoing coaching by trained coaches and assessed at least one measure along the wellness continuum. Pairs of independent reviewers determined reference eligibility. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tools for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and for Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneity in study design and outcome measures as well as inconsistent reporting. The search retrieved 2531 references, of which 14 were included (5 RCTs, 2 non-randomized controlled studies, 4 before-and-after studies, 2 mixed-methods studies, 1 qualitative study). There were 1099 participants across all included studies. Risk of bias was moderate or serious for non-RCTs, while the 5 RCTs were of lower risk. All quantitative studies reported effectiveness of coaching for at least one outcome assessed. The included qualitative study reported a perceived positive impact of coaching by participants. Evidence from available RCTs suggests coaching for physicians can improve well-being and reduce distress/burnout. Non-randomized interventional studies have similar findings but face many limitations. Consistent reporting and standardized outcome measures are needed.
Insights into the genome of Methylobacterium sp. NMS14P, a novel bacterium for growth promotion of maize, chili, and sugarcane

Published: February 2023

A novel methylotrophic bacterium designated as NMS14P was isolated from the root of an organic coffee plant (Coffea arabica) in Thailand. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed that this new isolate belongs to the genus Methylobacterium, and its novelty was clarified by genomic and comparative genomic analyses, in which NMS14P exhibited low levels of relatedness with other Methylobacterium-type strains. NMS14P genome consists of a 6,268,579 bp chromosome, accompanied by a 542,519 bp megaplasmid and a 66,590 bp plasmid, namely pNMS14P1 and pNMS14P2, respectively. Several genes conferring plant growth promotion are aggregated on both chromosome and plasmids, including phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) biosynthesis, cytokinins (CKs) production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity, sulfur-oxidizing activity, trehalose synthesis, and urea metabolism. Furthermore, pangenome analysis showed that NMS14P possessed the highest number of strain-specific genes accounting for 1408 genes, particularly those that are essential for colonization and survival in a wide array of host environments, such as ABC transporter, chemotaxis, quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. In vivo tests have supported that NMS14P significantly promoted the growth and development of maize, chili, and sugarcane. Collectively, NMS14P is proposed as a novel plant growth-promoting Methylobacterium that could potentially be applied to a broad range of host plants as Methylobacterium-based biofertilizers to reduce and ultimately substitute the use of synthetic agrochemicals for sustainable agriculture.
The alphaherpesvirus conserved pUS10 is important for natural infection and its expression is regulated by the conserved Herpesviridae protein kinase (CHPK)

Published: February 2023

Conserved Herpesviridae protein kinases (CHPK) are conserved among all members of the Herpesviridae. Herpesviruses lacking CHPK propagate in cell culture at varying degrees, depending on the virus and cell culture system. CHPK is dispensable for Marek’s disease herpesvirus (MDV) replication in cell culture and experimental infection in chickens; however, CHPK—particularly its kinase activity—is essential for horizontal transmission in chickens, also known as natural infection. To address the importance of CHPK during natural infection in chickens, we used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based proteomics of samples collected from live chickens. Comparing modification of viral proteins in feather follicle epithelial (FFE) cells infected with wildtype or a CHPK-null virus, we identified the US10 protein (pUS10) as a potential target for CHPK in vivo. When expression of pUS10 was evaluated in cell culture and in FFE skin cells during in vivo infection, pUS10 was severely reduced or abrogated in cells infected with CHPK mutant or CHPK-null viruses, respectively, indicating a potential role for pUS10 in transmission. To test this hypothesis, US10 was deleted from the MDV genome, and the reconstituted virus was tested for replication, horizontal transmission, and disease induction. Our results showed that removal of US10 had no effect on the ability of MDV to transmit in experimentally infected chickens, but disease induction in naturally infected chickens was significantly reduced. These results show CHPK is necessary for pUS10 expression both in cell culture and in the host, and pUS10 is important for disease induction during natural infection.
On practising politicized practice: What do we learn?
Authors: Jordan Mel , Bruff Ian
Published: February 2023

In this article, which introduces the second of two Special Issues on the theme of ‘politicizing artistic pedagogies’, we turn our attention to the practice and practising of artistic pedagogies. This issue’s emphasis is on presenting versions of pedagogical practice that perform politicizing modes of engagement. Accordingly, the issue and this introductory essay build on the understanding of art, politics and pedagogy outlined in the introductory essay from the first Special Issue (Volume 10, Issue 2 of Art & the Public Sphere). At the same time, the below discussion departs from our collaborations, which was the focus in the introduction to the first Special Issue, to consider our individual attempts at performing pedagogy via situated politics. For instance, Mel’s recent project as part of the Partisan Social Club, How to Talk to the City: Public Interventions and Observations in the Practice of Art and Ethnography, and Ian’s work with students on novel methods for engaging with the contested concept of ‘Europe’. These ‘projects’ are not evaluated from the point of view of the participants/students, although the interactions between us and them are discussed. Thus, our rationale for including them in this essay is to forefront our pedagogical strategies and what this means for our attempts at politicizing practice; they are not case studies in a traditional ‘teaching techniques’ sense. Finally, we briefly introduce the articles that comprise the Special Issue.
Depoliticization, participation and social art practice: On the function of social art practice for politicization
Authors: Jordan Mel , Hewitt Andrew
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this article is to explore how the process of depoliticization occurs in neoliberal governance, with the aim of identifying approaches to counter its control over the way we live together. Depoliticization is a process of neoliberal political and social organization that undermines democracy. An instance of how depoliticization happens is through a lack of accountability in the way that government devolves responsibility through non-governmental agencies or quangos. Arts Council England is a quango with an increasingly instrumental policy agenda. Arts-based participation is being fostered through policy agendas; art projects that are funded in this arrangement are expected to promote social inclusion or audience engagement. While this is superficially laudable, a reduced gap between state policy objectives and commissioned artistic outcomes sees artworks utilized as interpretive publicity for policy objectives. In this way, the funding of the arts can be considered as part of the wider process of depoliticization. Yet, we argue, contra much of the depoliticization literature with its formalist understandings of power, that politics is not limited to the actions and non-actions of the state alone and can be radically understood as an everyday process. In this conception of politics, we conclude that certain forms of art practice, those that employ social praxis and critical citizenship through critical pedagogical and participatory methods, can perform a politicizing function and thus potentially reshape democracy in more emancipatory ways.
Grappling with The Glasgow Effect: A critical artistic pedagogy to explode destructive success fantasies
Authors: McLauchlan Anna
Published: February 2023

The Glasgow Effect is the name given to a public health mystery: Why do people in Glasgow, Scotland, die younger than similar post-industrial UK cities such as Manchester and Liverpool? Ellie Harrison appropriated this name to title an artwork where she confined herself to Glasgow for 2016. During that year the only vehicle Harrison used was her bike and she actively engaged with a variety of communities where she lives. The artwork’s invocation of Glasgow’s poor health record in combination with the £15,000 of public funding awarded to Harrison hit a nerve with some Glaswegians that led to outrage on Facebook. Subsequently, Harrison and her artwork were demonized by a broader UK media. Why fund a middle-class English artist’s ‘poverty safari’ in Glasgow when so many others never have the chance to leave? This article grapples with the educative potential of The Glasgow Effect. Harrison began the project because her teaching job in Dundee required her to ‘write and submit a significant research grant application’. That application’s success prohibited Harrison from travelling from her home in Glasgow to her job in Dundee; making her unable to teach. By enacting a complete dematerialization of markers of success – motorized travel and related carbon emissions – the artwork, and subsequent book, publicly challenge preconceived notions of ‘good career progression’, offering a critical artistic pedagogy that explodes success fantasies that hang on internationalization, excess travel and ultimately vast amounts of carbon emissions.
The politics of radical interdependence in critical pedagogies: A non-alternative context for CAMPUS at Nottingham Contemporary
Authors: Rito Carolina
Published: February 2023

The past fifteen years have seen a rich debate situating the curatorial in the expanded field of exhibition-making, towards dialogical and discursive formats. Under the umbrella term the ‘educational turn’, pedagogical programmes have explored classroom aesthetics and the emancipatory potentials of pedagogy in the arts and curating – within and outside arts institutions. This article investigates the relevance of such pedagogical programmes in the cultural sector that aim to generate an open resource for long-term critical debates and collective thinking. The article reflects on the role of cultural institutions in wider discussions around the neo-liberalization of formal education and the political potentials of new pedagogical initiatives. It draws on decolonial problem-posing pedagogy to counter the increasing cultures of anti-intellectualism and anti-complexity in the United Kingdom (UK). The text reflects upon the experience of the CAMPUS Independent Study Programme, I curated in 2019–20 at Nottingham Contemporary, a contemporary art centre in the United Kingdom. Contrary to the popular claim for alterity and outsideness, this article demonstrates the political role of embeddedness and radical interdependence in critical pedagogical initiatives in contemporary art institutions.
Hacking education: Arte Útil as an educational methodology to foster change in curriculum planning
Authors: Byrne John , Saviotti Alessandra
Published: February 2023

Artworks operating at the intersection of art and education often attempt to challenge dominant education systems in suggesting alternative pedagogical models that could function outside the official academic realm, proposing radical changes to the latter. However, the lack of continuity of alternative education models implemented by artists and curators within universities’ art and design departments fails to provide a longer-term change. This article stems from our research on the usological turn, a recent shift from spectatorship to usership according to which artists and curators tend to create art projects which situate themselves as part of a broader usership. Using an autoethnographic approach, we will analyse how the principles of the art group Arte Útil intersects with the undercommons. Hence, we explore how they apply an alternative method, through participatory curriculum planning, as a tool for change within the institution of education.
Where left to seminar in 2022?
Authors: Haslam Susannah
Published: February 2023

The university has now, totally, found its way into our homes. First through demands of the kitchen table to provide the setting for teaching preparation. Then inadvertently: the endless work done with others in mutable workspaces, such as the home, characterizing that same teaching. And now recently, the coronavirus pandemic has found a new, hybrid, teaching space – (working from) home. So, where else is there ‘to seminar’? These questions are not new: Roland Barthes made an everlasting call to ‘outline a space and call it: seminar’. Henk Slager, whose plea in 2017 to ‘[re]activate [the] “unpredictable rhythm” of the seminar’ echoed Barthes, following artists, activists, teachers and organizers calling for new alternatives to ever-institutionalized formats and modes of education. Much of this – sentimentalizing, reproducing, extracting educational forms – is held within the discursive framework of art’s ‘Educational Turn’. In the light of impact that the ‘move online’ has had on art education I am reframing this question of the seminar’s ‘where’ else and ‘what’ else, again in 2022. Once obvious spaces of art education, clearly defined, are left empty, expensive, expansive and broken. Where ghosts and infrastructures contend with one another, the mechanisms of universities are, in theory, open bare; their complex continues to be impenetrable. This text constellates a set of infrastructural considerations to take stock of what it means to ask this question of ‘where’ else and ‘what’ else in 2022.
Resiliensi Komunitas Agama Baha’i Di Masa Pandemi
Authors: Nurish Amanah
Published: February 2023

This research paper aims to explore the Indonesian Baha’is community and its conceptual discourse on resilience and social solidarity in religious actions during the global pandemic of covid-19. Although the Baha’i faith is not registered as an official religion in Indonesia like Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., the Baha’is community and its religious, as well as social movement during covid-19, is interesting to analyze. As a new world religion promoting the principle and the moral value of unity in diversity, the Baha’is community in Indonesia started to organize digital activism to build solidarity among interfaith and religious minority groups like penghayat kepercayaan. Religion and solidarity in this context refer to a German sociologist, Emile Durkheim (1858-1917), on his functionalism perspective stating that religion must have social function and solidarity. Durkheim demonstrated the function of religion can be understood as collective action as a moral value in our society. Religion not only has a meaning but also a function which is collectively built by society based on the collective consciousness. By digital ethnographic approach, this research paper tries to examine how the Baha’is community and other minority groups in Indonesia cope with the global pandemic of covid-19 while activities have moved to virtual and digital space. It is also interesting to perceive how the resilience of the Baha’is community in existing religious dakwah throughout digital activism.

INTRODUCTION:

Limited data are available regarding the association between liver cirrhosis (LC) and the risk of herpes zoster (HZ). This study aimed to determine the risk of HZ in patients with LC.

METHODS:

HZ was defined as the presence of the International Classification of Diseases-10th revision code for HZ and concomitant prescription of antiviral medication. The incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of HZ in patients with LC were analyzed using data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in Korea claims database from 2009 to 2019.

RESULTS:

A total of 504,986 Korean patients with LC were included. The mean age was 52.4 years, and 60.8% were men. Chronic hepatitis B was the most common cause of LC. The incidence rates for HZ and HZ-related hospitalization were 21.6 of 1,000 and 1.81 of 1,000 person-years, respectively. The SIRs for HZ and HZ-related hospitalization were 1.09 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–1.09) and 1.48 (95% CI: 1.44–1.52), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the general population. Patients with LC aged 20–29, 30–39, and 40–49 years had SIRs for HZ of 1.41 (95% CI: 1.33–1.48), 1.16 (1.13–1.19), and 1.17 (1.13–1.19), respectively. In multivariable analysis, woman (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]: 1.48), steroid (AHR: 1.20), immunosuppressant use (AHR: 1.26), and combined comorbidities were associated with an increased risk of HZ among patients with LC.

DISCUSSION:

Patients with LC, particularly those who are not currently recommended for HZ vaccination, were at an increased risk of HZ and HZ-related hospitalization compared with the general Korean population.

The cocoa and chocolate production chain involves US$60 billion annually and three million farmers around the world, in an area exceeding nine million hectares. The use of wild germplasm will enable to generate new disease- and pest-resistant cultivars and ability to adapt to changing environments. Here we evaluated 145 cocoa accessions, originated from nine Amazonian basins, based on eight fruit traits. Univariate anova showed significant differences (p<0.05) for all traits. For seven traits, the variance component within basins was higher (81.5%, on average). Therefore, it is recommended that the collection of wild accessions prioritize a larger number of plants from a few populations of the most divergent basins. The multivariate analyses revealed a greater divergence between the Ji-Paraná-RO and Solimões/Amazonas-PA basins (27.69) and a greater similarity between Alien clones-PER and Solimões/Amazonas-AM (0.66) in relation to their populations. They also revealed that the accessions differentiation occurred according to the river basin system. These results allowed elucidate the genetic structure and distribution of cacao populations. In addition, strengthen the importance of collecting and conserving germplasm to preserve genetic resources.

Tillering onion is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Liliaceae family. We cloned the cDNAs of the actin gene (AcACT, GenBank: MF919598) of tillering onion using rapid amplification of the cDNA ends. The full-length cDNA of AcACT was 1,357 bp long with an open reading frame of 1,131 bp encoding 376 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of AcACT shared > 96% similarity with the amino acid sequences of other ACTs and was found (by means of phylogenetic tree analysis) to be closely related to those of Ananas comosus and Papaver somniferum. AcACT expressions showed no significant differences (p > 0.01) in two cultivars L-SH and L-SY over three growth periods and under suitable conditions, low temperature, and short-day conditions. In addition, AcACT was used as an internal reference gene to analyse the expression of the alliinase gene (AcALL). AcALL expression trends in the roots, stems and leaves were consistent with those of diallyl disulphide and diallyl trisulphide. Thus, AcACT is highly conserved and can be used as a suitable internal reference gene when analysing gene expression in tillering onion.
Educar os habitantes do campo: a formação de professoras rurais e os Centros de Treinamento de Professores (1950 - 1963)
Authors: Ferreira Nilce Vieira Campos
Published: February 2023

Apresento algumas reflexões a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental sobre a formação ofertada às professoras rurais nos centros de treinamento de professores e de auxiliares rurais, a partir da Campanha Nacional de Educação Rural - CNER, no recorte temporal entre os anos de 1950 e 1963. Entre as indagações destaco: como foram formadas as professoras normalistas rurais? Cotejo o discurso, as práticas de formação e de treinamentos de professoras, evidenciando o perfil político e ideológico, cujo principal intento era fixar a população campesina na “gleba saneada e produtiva”. Aliada à formação do magistério leigo, sob cuja responsabilidade se encontrava a maioria das escolas brasileiras, cuja principal finalidade da formação ofertada nos centros de treinamento e nos cursos normais rurais era instruir docentes que fossem atuar no meio rural, de modo a contribuir para evitar o êxodo de lavradores e a fuga dos elementos jovens e animosos, do campo para as cidades.

Considerando que en los últimos años la violencia basada en género (VBG) ha sido una problemática social en constante crecimiento, que afecta directa e indirectamente a la población colombiana —especialmente, a la población femenina—, nació la iniciativa de producir un documento que contenga análisis de datos estadísticos de variables psicológicas, pedagógicas, antropológicas y jurídicas, entre otras, sobre delitos estudiados con la perspectiva de género. Análisis que permita generar un proceso de caracterización psicosocial del victimario de VBG en Colombia. Para tal fin, se realizó la presente investigación cuantitativa, con alcance descriptivo con un diseño transversal no experimental. La población corresponde a personas privadas de la libertad que fueron procesadas por el Instituto Nacional Penitenciario y Carcelario (Inpec) durante 2018. El instrumento que se usó es la cartilla biográfica IVIC, la cual se aplica a las personas privadas de la libertad una vez ingresan a los centros penitenciarios. Finalmente se presenta de forma gráfica la relación de las variables analizadas para la caracterización

Published: February 2023

Introducción: La violencia de género requiere acciones inmediatas que impliquen la reivindicación de los derechos humanos, lo cual llevará a resignificar los patrones de miedo, desigualdad y conductas estereotipadas de nuestra sociedad. Por esta razón, los protocolos deben generar dos efectos concretos, el primero, es promover un espacio de contención y orientación, y el segundo, dejar un mensaje claro a todas las organizaciones sobre la no aceptación de estos comportamientos. Objetivo: Describir la relevancia de los criterios que constituyen la ruta de atención a personas que han vivido la violencia de género en Colombia publicados en los últimos 12 años. Método: Se realizó una revisión documental de los protocolos publicados entre 2008 y 2020, para la selección, los criterios fueron: protocolos de atención en violencia de género y/o contra las mujeres o que aborden dichas problemáticas, y documentos publicados los últimos 10 años por instituciones públicas o privadas de Colombia. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 32 protocolos, 14 realizados por instituciones privadas y 18 de carácter público; estos se analizaron de acuerdo con las categorías establecidas: la institución que participa en el abordaje, la población, los pasos, el profesional, las recomendaciones en el momento de atención y los instrumentos. Discusión: Se considera pertinente la creación de futuros protocolos orientados a grupos étnicos y personas con discapacidad, además de capacitación a los profesionales en perspectiva de género, para que realicen una atención integral, eviten la revictimización y fortalezcan las buenas prácticas.
Organizing reuse for production systems engineering with capabilities and skills

Published: February 2023

The flexibility of production systems is a key factor for Industry 4.0. Capabilities and skills (C&Ss) aim at improving engineering flexibility along the production system life-cycle by decoupling production processes and resources. However, traditional reuse approaches in production systems engineering, such as the VDI 3695, do not yet consider C&Ss. This paper proposes the Capability and Skill Reuse (CSR) framework to define how VDI 3695 activities require adaptation for C&S models. The paper analyzes how the framework can facilitate reuse along the production system life-cycle and identifies open issues for research.
