Unexpected coseismic surface uplift at Tirúa-Mocha Island area of south Chile before and during the Mw 8.8 Maule 2010 earthquake: a possible upper plate splay fault
Authors: Quezada Jorge , Jaque Edilia , Catalán Nicole , Belmonte Arturo , Fernández Alfonso , Isla Federico
Published: May 2020

The Tirúa-Mocha Island area (38.2°-38.4° S) in southern Chile has been affected by two megaearthquakes in only 50 years: the 1960 Mw=9.5 Valdivia earthquake and 2010 Mw=8.8 Maule earthquake. We studied in the field the vertical ground movements occurred during the interseismic period between both earthquakes and the coseismic period of 2010 Maule earthquake and 2011 Mw=7.1 Araucanía earthquake. During the 1960 earthquake, vertical coseismic ground movements are typical of subduction related earthquakes with Mocha Island, located close to the trench, experienced bigger ground uplift (150 cm) than that occurred in Tirúa (-20 cm), place located in the continental margin at the latitude of Mocha Island. Then during the 1960-2010 interseismic period, the 1960 coseismic uplift remained at Mocha Island unlike the normal interseismic subsidence that occurred northward at Arauco Peninsula and Santa María Island. Also Tirúa experienced the biggest interseismic uplift (180 cm) in all the area affected later by 2010 Maule earthquake. Then during the 2010 Mw=8.8 Maule earthquake an anomalous vertical coseismic ground uplift occurred in the study area, opposite to that of 1960 since Mocha Island experienced lower (25 cm) ground uplift than Tirúa (90 cm). Subsequently, during the Araucanía 2011 earthquake a ground uplift in Mocha Island (50 cm) and subsidence at Tirúa (20 cm) occurred. These unexpected vertical ground movements can be explained by the existence of an upper plate splay fault located below the sea bottom between Tirúa and Mocha Island: the Tirúa-Mocha splay fault. Considering the last seismic cycle, the activity of this fault would have started after the 1960 Valdivia earthquake. During 2010 Maule earthquake, the main slip occurred at Tirúa Mocha splay fault. Finally during 2011 Araucanía earthquake, the slip occurred mainly at the updip of Wadati-Benioff plane with probable normal activity of Tirúa-Mocha splay fault. Simple elastic dislocation models considering the Wadati-Benioff plane and the Tirúa-Mocha splay fault activity, can account for all the vertical ground movements observed during 1960 earthquake, the 1960-2010 interseismic period, the 2010 Maule earthquake and the 2011 Araucanía earthquake.
Stratigraphic and provenance analysis of Triassic rock units between 28-29° S, northern Chile: implications on the tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the southwestern margin of Gondwana

Published: May 2020

Triassic rock units of northern Chile (28-29° S) record the transition, both in time and space, between two major orogenies that affected the southwestern margin of South America, the Gondwanian and Andean orogenies. The geodynamic configuration of the margin during this transition is still a matter of debate, particularly whether subduction was interrupted or continued under different parameters in between the orogenies. In order to evaluate these hypotheses by understanding the paleogeographic evolution of the margin, this work synthesizes recent stratigraphical, structural and geochronological data from northern Chile (28-29° S), along with detrital zircon analysis and detritus characterization of the two main siliciclastic Triassic basins present in the area. A detailed study of the evolution of the San Félix and the Canto del Agua basins, their source areas, and exhumation processes of the margin recognizes two stages of intra-arc/forearc basins system development separated by a Carnian unconformity. The first stage (Lopingian-uppermost Middle Triassic) develops an eastern intra-arc basin, which is represented by the volcaniclastic rocks included in the Guanaco Sonso Formation and the roots of the volcanic arc represented by Chollay Plutonic Complex, bounded to the east by a Pennsylvanian-Cisuralian basement block. The forearc basin for this stage is constituted by two graben depocenter, separated by a topographic high, of marine to transitional depositional environment and proximal sediment sources. The eastern graben is filled by conglomerates and turbiditic rocks grouped in Members M1 to M4 of the San Félix Formation, and the western graben, by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the lower section of the Canto del Agua Formation. The second stage (Norian-Rhaetian) involves an eastern intra-arc basin, represented by the volcanic rocks of the La Totora Formation that seals the exhumed roots of the magmatic arc developed in the previous stage, and a marine to transitional forearc basin to the west, represented by the sedimentary rocks of M5 member of the San Félix Formation and the upper section of the Canto del Agua Formation. These two successions show basal fluvial conglomerates unconformably overlying Anisian prodelta deposits of the first stage, recording a major base level drop of the forearc basin.
Análisis de los procesos de regresión y restitución del monumento natural Puente del Inca, Andes Centrales, Provincia de Mendoza, Argentina

Published: May 2020

The Puente del Inca, next to the homonymous village, is a natural bridge located on the Cuevas River, at about 2,700 m above sea level in the Central Andes of the province of Mendoza, Argentina. Declared Provincial Natural Monument in 2005, since the beginning of the 20th century it has registered a continuous weakening, mainly related to erosive processes that cause detachments of part of the material that makes up its structure. The objective of this study is to determine the factors involved in the structural regression and restitution of the natural bridge. To achieve this, visual inspection, characterization of thermal springs, measurement of accretion-erosion rate of travertine deposits, testing of materials and the development of a structural numerical model by the Finite Element Method, were carried out. Results indicate that the deterioration is linked, mainly, with changes in the geobiological system that regulates the travertine deposition and to the heterogeneous structure of the bridge. Changes of the geobiological system are related to the activity of the thermal waters present in the area, whose discontinuity and/or fluctuations in the flow rate are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. The heterogeneity of the structure conditions the stability of the monument due to the presence of a less resistant material in the lower part of the bridge arch. From the numerical simulation, safety factors between 1.5 and 3 were determined for the bridge, thus, we conclude the structure is stable against its own weight, as long as the bridge maintains the current conditions.
Modelling rainfall with a Bartlett–Lewis process: new developments
Authors: Onof Christian , Wang Li-Pen
Published: May 2020

Abstract. The use of Poisson cluster processes to model rainfall time series at a range of scales now has a history of more than 30 years. Among them, the randomised (also called modified) Bartlett–Lewis model (RBL1) is particularly popular, while a refinement of this model was proposed recently (RBL2; Kaczmarska et al., 2014). Fitting such models essentially relies upon minimising the difference between theoretical statistics of the rainfall signal and their observed estimates. The first statistics are obtained using closed form analytical expressions for statistics of the orders 1 to 3 of the rainfall depths, as well as useful approximations of the wet–dry structure properties. The second are standard estimates of these statistics for each month of the data. This paper discusses two issues that are important for the optimal model fitting of RBL1 and RBL2. The first issue is that, when revisiting the derivation of the analytical expressions for the rainfall depth moments, it appears that the space of possible parameters is wider than has been assumed in past papers. The second issue is that care must be exerted in the way monthly statistics are estimated from the data. The impact of these two issues upon both models, in particular upon the estimation of extreme rainfall depths at hourly and sub-hourly timescales, is examined using 69 years of 5 min and 105 years of 10 min rainfall data from Bochum (Germany) and Uccle (Belgium), respectively.
Residential accessibility’s relationships with crash rates per capita
Authors: Merlin Louis A , Cherry Chris R , Mohamadi-Hezaveh Amin , Dumbaugh Eric
Published: May 2020

This paper examines the relationship between residential accessibility, i.e., accessibility from a person’s home address, and their likelihood of being in a crash over a three-year period. We explore two potential relationships with accessibility. The first is that persons who live in areas with high destination accessibility may drive less and therefore are less likely to be in vehicular crashes. The second is that persons who live in high vehicle miles traveled (VMT) accessibility areas may be exposed to higher levels of traffic in their regular activity space and therefore may be more likely to be in crashes of all modal types. Examining traffic analysis zones in Knoxville, Tennessee, this research finds some evidence for each of these hypothesized effects. These oppositely directed effects have dominant influence within different travel-time thresholds. The first relationship between destination accessibility and fewer crashes is found to be strongest for 10-minute auto accessibility, whereas the second relationship between VMT accessibility and more crashes is found to occur at 10-minute, 20-minute, and 30-minute thresholds.
“La stola e il silenzio”? “Parole” di donna in un epitaffio catanese d’età imperiale
Authors: Cassia Margherita
Published: May 2020

L’analisi di un’epigrafe in lingua greca, attualmente custodita nel Magazzino del Museo Civico del Comune di Catania “Castello Ursino” (inv. nr. 233) e relativa ad una Giulia Galene, la φιλόστολος, invita a riflettere sul significato da attribuire a questo appellativo, “amica della flotta” o piuttosto “amante della stola”. Il possibile riferimento all’uso dell’indumento distintivo della matrona romana permette di inserire l’epitaffio in un momento di poco precedente all’utilizzo dei titoli onorifici femina stolata o ματρῶνα στολᾶτα, attestati in molte regioni dell’Impero romano a partire dalla fine del II secolo d.C. L’apax φιλόστολος, se non rovescia del tutto il cliché di donna silenziosa e relegata tradizionalmente attribuito alla matrona, pone comunque in evidenza la “visibilità” e il ruolo pubblico di una donna che lasciò memoria di sé sulla pietra senza aver bisogno di una “legittimazione” maschile. Giulia Galene riuscì ugualmente ad “esprimersi” e a far giungere la propria “voce” sino a noi, non rimase in silenzio, pur “amando” la sua stola.
La aparición del término “bagauda”: nuevas consideraciones sobre la hipótesis de inclusión en Kaisergeschichte y en los Χρονικοὶ Κανόνες de Eusebio de Cesarea
Authors: Serrano Madroñal Raúl
Published: May 2020

Existe un consenso historiográfico a la hora de atribuir sin cuestionamiento el primer registro del término “bagauda” a Aurelio Víctor. Hacia el 358-360, el autor afro-romano plasmaba en De Caesaribus el nombre indígena que recibió la tropa capitaneada por Aelianus y Amandus en 285. Sin embargo, la Quellenforschung más reciente tiende a considerar que pudo haber un registro anterior en la no conservada KG. Por otro lado, sabemos que Jerónimo de Estridón tradujo, reelaboró y publicó la crónica precedente de Eusebio de Cesarea en los últimos decenios del siglo IV, donde también aparece el mismo vocablo. Si Jerónimo no se limitó a copiar sin añadidos las tablas cronológicas de Eusebio, deberíamos contemplar tanto la adición propia en base a otras fuentes como la posible inclusión del concepto que nos ocupa ya en el trabajo del obispo de Cesarea. Así pues, el artículo presente se constituye con el objetivo de refutar la última hipótesis planteada.

Effect of Glycyrrhizic Acid on Scopolamine-Induced Cognitive Impairment in Mice
Authors: Ban Ju Yeon , Park Hyun Kyung , Kim Su Kang
Published: May 2020

Purpose: Cognitive impairment is one of the main symptoms of Alzheimer disease and other dementias. Glycyrrhiza uralensis is a natural product that has a protective effect against cognitive impairment. In this study, we investigated whether glycyrrhizic acid, among the main bioactive components of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, has a neuroprotective effect on scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment.Methods: Twenty-week-old male Institute of Cancer Research mice were used in this study. The scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment mice model was used. Glycyrrhizic acid was orally administered to mice once daily for 21 days, while scopolamine (1 mg/kg) treatment was delivered 30 minutes before behavioral tests. Donepezil (2 mg/kg) was used as a positive drug control. To evaluate the effect of glycyrrhizic acid, the following assessments were performed on hippocampal tissue: Y-maze test, acetylcholinesterase activity, antioxidant enzymes’ activity (superoxide dismutase, catalase). Western blotting for phosphor-extracellular signal-regulated kinase, P38, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase was conducted.Results: We found that glycyrrhizic acid administration significantly improved scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment in the Y-maze test. The acetylcholinesterase activity, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activity in the glycyrrhizic acid-treated group showed a significant reversal of cognitive impairment compared with the scopolamine-treated group.Conclusions: Our results suggest that glycyrrhizic acid has a neuroprotective effect on cognitive function in scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment.

Authors: Narain Ankur S. , Dhayalan Arjun , Weinberg Maxwell , Latario Luke D. , Shuman Matthew E. , Bango Jugert , Holmes Sara , Patel Jay K. , Chan Wayne , Aaron Daniel L.
Published: May 2020

Introduction:

Social media represents a novel platform for patient-physician interaction. Although social media utilization patterns have been analyzed in other fields, no such study has been performed in shoulder and elbow specialists.

Methods:

The membership database of the society of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons was queried. Online searches were performed to identify if each surgeon had professional profiles on popular social media platforms. A social media score was then calculated, defined as the number of active accounts. Statistical analysis was used to test for associations between demographics and social media utilization.

Results:

Six hundred seventy-six surgeons were analyzed. The average social media score was 1.61. The most highly used platform was LinkedIn (61%). The least used platform was Instagram (5% active, 11% total). Female surgeons were more likely to use Instagram than men (12.5% versus 4.9%). Academic surgeons were more likely to use ResearchGate (46.5% versus 33.3%), whereas private practice surgeons were more likely to have a website (19.9% versus 11.7%). Practitioners from the South had the lowest social media utilization.

Conclusions:

Shoulder and elbow surgeons underuse social media. As the influence of social media continues to grow, it will be important for surgeons to implement social media within their practices.
Promoting Thai EFL Learners’ Ability to Self-correct Errors in Written English Sentences through Games
Authors: Sermsook Kanyakorn , Liamnimitr Jiraporn , Chantarangkul Vikrom
Published: May 2020

Games have been widely accepted as an effective tool for language learning. They help learners achieve better learning outcome and create a learning atmosphere which contribute to learners’ learning. The present study, hence, employed games to help EFL learners write better in English. In the present study, games were used to encourage Thai EFL learners to self-correct errors found in their English sentences. After five weeks of learning with games, the learners’ ability to self-correct errors was observed. Their posttest average score (x =18.65, S.D.=6.05) was higher than the pretest one (x =13.58, S.D.=6.45). The results from the paired samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference at the 0.01 level which meant that games helped promote this group of learners to self-correct errors in written English sentences. Furthermore, the learners reported that they enjoyed English writing classes with games because they motivated them to learn English in a relaxing class. The learners’ good interaction and collaboration were also observed during the games. The findings from this study imply that games should be incorporated in language classes for learners’ positive learning outcome.
Homework: At Home or at School?—Attitudes of Teachers, Parents and the General Public: A Case Study
Authors: Yavich Roman , Davidovitch Nitza
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of three influential groups toward homework: parents, teachers and the public. Specifically, attitudes toward reducing and eliminating homework, as well as creating alternatives to conventional homework, are examined. The first hypothesis is that the attitude of teachers and parents toward homework is positive, whereas that of the public is negative, in line with the Israeli Ministry of Education that suggests changing homework policies. Another hypothesis is that there is a correlation between the seniority of teachers and their attitudes toward homework—the greater the seniority, the more negative the attitude. Finally, the effect of various background variables of teachers (class grade and subject area: sciences or humanities) and parents (age of parents, number of children in the family and child birth-order) on their attitudes toward homework is examined. The first research hypothesis was confirmed—most teachers and parents are supportive of homework, whereas the public is the least supportive. In addition, the public is the most supportive of changing homework policies, parents are less supportive, and teachers are the least supportive. No correlation was found between the seniority of teachers and their attitudes toward homework. Finally, background variables have no effect on attitudes toward homework. According to these findings, the public is not yet ready to completely forgo homework, which has been so widely used and accepted. The desire to change the traditional homework policy exists, but the concept that homework is essential remains.
A Concept Analysis of the Form that Trans-forms as a Result of Transformation
Authors: Ross Susan L.
Published: May 2020

Two decades ago, renowned developmental psychologist Robert Kegan made a resounding call to investigate and make explicit, the form that undergoes fundamental change during human transformation. He explained that without precise understanding of the form, “there is no transformation” (Kegan, 2000, p. 48). A review of literature found that this literature gap remains and as such, this study aims to clarify “What form transforms as a result of human biopsychospiritual transformation?”  The method to achieve this goal is a concept analysis, which constitutes an empirical examination of a concept described in literature, where a concept---transformation in this case---is the research object. The outcomes illustrate that three structures change form (i.e., transform): the ego, mind, and body. Results reject that consciousness is a human form that transforms. An unexpected finding suggests the content of the life-changing experience (e.g., epiphany) indicates the form that will transform (i.e., the mind) and also the form through which consciousness emerges (i.e., increased consciousness of the mind).
Are Prospective EFL Teachers Culturalist or Interculturalist?
Authors: Koksal Dincay , Genc Gulten
Published: May 2020

The research aimed to investigate the current cultural stance and the attitudes of prospective EFL teachers towards culture teaching. For this purpose, 200 teacher candidates (73 males 127 females) studying at a teacher training program of a state university were involved in the study. A demographic information form and two questionnaires were used to collect the data. The participants’ cultural intelligence profile was assessed under four sub-dimensions. Statistical analyses such as descriptive statistics, independent samples T-tests, Pearson Correlations, and ANOVA were used in analyzing the quantitative data. According to the results of the study, EFL student teachers had positive attitudes towards teaching culture in foreign language classes. They were also seen to have varying degrees of cultural intelligence. As for the effect of gender, age, and the year of the study at the faculty, the analyses revealed that gender and age were not related significantly to the attitudes towards culture teaching and cultural intelligence. The year of the study at the faculty seemed to have a significant relationship with the attitudes towards culture teaching and cultural intelligence. The last two years of undergraduate study at the ELT departments were seen to be significant on prospective EFL teachers’ culturalist or interculturalist stances. Finally, the researchers discovered a positive relationship between prospective teachers’ attitudes towards culture teaching and their meta-cognitive, motivational, and behavioral dimensions of cultural intelligence. Some recommendations were presented for future researchers and practitioners relying on the research findings.

Published: May 2020

O balanço entre integração vertical e terceirização permanece relevante, enquanto a tecnologia e a Internet reformulam as estratégias da cadeia de suprimentos. A teoria da agência, a economia de custos de transação e a visão baseada em recursos visam explicar as decisões de "fazer ou comprar", mas ainda são desafiadas a explicar formas plurais. Uma revisão sistemática da literatura tendo como base artigos publicados na base de dados Web of Science e fazendo uso do software CiteSpace para análise bibliométrica foi conduzida. Os principais tópicos analisados foram teorias, métodos de pesquisa, indústrias pesquisadas e assuntos emergentes. Os resultados incluem teorias de uso integrativo, pesquisa concentrada em algumas indústrias, saturação da literatura sobre franquias e expansão da literatura sobre canais híbridos de vendas. Os resultados indicam que a pesquisa sobre formas plurais é bastante madura nas grandes áreas de administração e economia, onde as teorias da firma usadas isoladamente não acrescentam ao conhecimento sobre o fenômeno. Por outro lado, no campo da Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos e gerenciamento de operações, o interesse é crescente no estudo do comércio eletrônico, com aplicação da teoria dos jogos e modelagem.
Administrative financial penalty in proceedings before the Commission for Issues of Warsaw Real Estate Reprivatisation
Authors: Dalkowska Anna
Published: May 2020

An administrative financial penalty constitutes an instrument of the regulatory response to
unlawful acts. It is a special financial measure aimed at motivating entities to perform timely and
properly obligations towards the State. A special kind of administrative financial penalty is sanction
determined in Article 31a of the Act on the Commission, being the response to the infringement
of statutory obligations. The administrative financial penalty normatively specified in
Article 31a of the Act on the Commission constitutes a punishment of financial nature imposed
by a public administration authority in administrative proceedings, expressing the legislator’s
response to addressees’ unlawful acts consisting in hindering significantly or oppressively the
use of premises in Warsaw real estate, meeting criteria of an administrative tort.

The purpose of the study is to indicate the principles of public participation in the planning
procedure developed in the jurisprudence of administrative courts. The result of the research
brings the conclusion that the institutions of the applications and comments to the plan should
be treated as the instruments enabling, although not guaranteeing, the entities concerned to obtain
the most favorable conditions for the development of their real estate. Lack of appropriate
activity of interested entities enables the authorities to obtain the right to determine the needs
of spatial development for a given area.
Freezing of real estate in criminal proceedings
Authors: Kierzynka Rafał
Published: May 2020

The paper is a synthetic overview of the issue of securing penalties and measures applicable in
the criminal proceedings on real estate. It takes into account the changes in the Code of Criminal
Procedure introduced in 2017, significantly extending the possibility to impose confiscation,
including the so-called extended confiscation, which had a considerable impact also on the number
and value of secured real estate. The article indicates the methods of securing penalties
and criminal measures on real estate and points out complex issues related to the possibility
of securing certain types of confiscation on property of a person other than the perpetrator.
Vacant inheritance, heirless inheritance and claims from Warsaw Decree (part I)
Authors: Zaradkiewicz Kamil
Published: May 2020

In the reprivatisation procedures, conducted in Polish courts and before public administration bodies following the restoration of independence, it is increasingly frequently necessary to determine the person currently holding the right to restitution or compensation due to the death of the past owners. This means a necessity of determining the legal successors to people who held the right to nationalised (communalised) property, including – for individuals – their inheritors. Due to the principles of the international law applicable to people assigned during or immediately following the conclusion of World War II, it is connected with the necessity to apply the principles of then-current inheritance law. These will therefore be – in the western and northern regions of Poland, applicable provisions of the German civil law of 1896 (BGB), in the southern regions – the Austrian code of civil procedure of 1811 (ABGB), while in the central regions – the Napoleonic Code of 1804.The latter applies to the area of application of the decree dated 26 October 1945, which provides for the communalisation of land in Warsaw (on the ownership and usage of land within the boundaries of the capital city of Warsaw, so called Bierut’s Decree).
This paper comprising two parts presents the basic solutions that refer to the institution of heirless inheritance (in the Napoleonic Code, also in ABGB), and so called vacant inheritance (les successions vacantes), which is a solution specific to French law, adopted in the territory of the Russian partition and which remained in force until 1947.
The second part of this paper (in the next issue of the quarterly) will be devoted to an analysis of the consequences of deeming an inheritance to be vacant under the erstwhile art. 811 of the Napoleonic Code, and to the provisions of Polish intertemporal law that applied to this solution following the standardisation of inheritance law after 1946.
Ownership as the prerequisite for the entitlement to claims arising from the Warsaw decree
Authors: Zaradkiewicz Kamil
Published: May 2020

The article presents the issue connected with the application of the mechanism of real property communalisation in Warsaw, raising a great deal of doubt in literature and diversely assessed in the case-law. The issue concerns the requirement adopted by the communist authorities in the decree of 26 October 1945 on ownership and usufruct of land on the area of Warsaw (so called the Warsaw decree) pursuant to which persons applying for (former) heritable building rights of superficies, and currently the right of perpetual usufruct were possessors of their former real properties. The decree communalised (nationalised) all land plots within Warsaw in order to rebuild the city destroyed by the war. A person fulfilling the condition of possession or their legal representative could have submitted within 6 months from taking possession of the land by the commune a request for establishing the right allowing the use of the real property compulsory taken over. Granting the possibility to submit requests for establishing the right to the land was to enable its former owners to take part in the reconstruction of the capital city. Granting the right involved essential obligations, for example in the form of the construction of a building or other facility as well as their maintenance in an appropriate condition. The main controversy concerns the fact whether the possession order as the condition for granting the right to use the land by the commune relates to former owners or only their legal successors (including mainly their heirs). If the interested party did not own the real property, they could not have claimed the right to establish the right to the land in an efficient way. The requirement concerning the ownership as the possibility to exercise efficiently the actual control over the real property was assessed under the rules of the Napoleonic Code applicable in the central parts of Poland, whereas later under the new Polish property law of 1946. The ownership as the condition for acquiring the right to the land was aimed at establishing the possibility to co-participate in the reconstruction of buildings destroyed as well as allowed the determination whether the persons entitled to the land were alive or had died during the years of war turmoil (in particular in the Holocaust). The article presents arguments for assuming the necessity to analyse the existence of the ownership lying with former owners (and not only with their legal successors). Nowadays, the problem is also essential due to practical reasons as requests submitted in the 1940s are being still currently processed, and failure to prove in that time the title to the land by requesters applying for granting the relevant right results also today in the necessity to reject establishing the right of perpetual usufruct.

Zunächst werden mit Entstrukturierung, Polarisierung und Entkopplung drei sozialstrukturelle Entwicklungspfade theoretisch hergeleitet. Während eine Entstrukturierung aufbrechende Klassenstrukturen impliziert, deutet Polarisierung auf eine zunehmende vertikale Ungleichheit zwischen oberen und unteren Positionen hin. Die Entkopplung hingegen beschreibt eine gleichzeitige vertikale und horizontale Veränderung der Klassenstruktur, in der eine Klassenlage sich vertikal von horizontal ähnlichen Lagen wegbewegt, und impliziert damit eine partielle Polarisierung. Diese alternativen Pfade werden mit Blick auf Veränderungen der Klassenstruktur, der Einkommensungleichheit sowie der intergenerationalen Mobilität deskriptiv für die letzten 40 Jahre anhand von repräsentativen Querschnittsbefragungen untersucht. In der Gesamtschau lassen sich erste Anzeichen für eine Entkopplung der Dienstleistungssegmente finden, die mit zunehmender Schließung ausgewählter oberer Klassenlagen zusammenfällt.
Wachsende migrationsbezogene Ungleichheit durch technologischen und sektoralen Wandel ?

Die Arbeitsmarktposition türkischer Migrant*innen in Westdeutschland zwischen 1976 und 2013 Bei aktuellen Debatten um strukturelle Veränderungen des deutschen Arbeitsmarkts im Zuge des technologischen Wandels wird selten auf die Situation von Migrant*innen eingegangen. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschäftigt sich der Beitrag mit den Auswirkungen des strukturellen Wandels der deutschen Wirtschaft auf die Arbeitsmarktintegration von türkischen Migrant*innen. Die Autoren werten dazu Daten der Mikrozensus von 1976 bis 2013 aus und vergleichen Arbeitsmarktindikatoren von Deutschen und türkischen Migrant*innen der ersten Generation. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bestehende Differenzen in der Qualifikationsstruktur durch die Bildungsexpansion im Zeitverlauf zugenommen haben, während mit dem Übergang in einen dienstleistungsdominierten Arbeitsmarkt die Bedeutung formaler Abschlüsse wuchs. Damit verbunden sanken die Erwerbschancen, Berufspositionen und Einkommen besonders von männlichen türkischen Migranten im Vergleich zu deutschen Personen. Entgegen den Prognosen klassischer Theorien glichen sich die Arbeitsmarktchancen von Migrant*innen nicht mit der Aufenthaltsdauer an ; vielmehr hat der sektorale Wandel des Arbeitsmarkts Nachteile von türkischen Migrant*innen der ersten Generation verstärkt.
Krisenerfahrung und Transformationskonflikte in der katholischen Kirche. Erfahrungen im Synodenprozess des Bistums Trier
Authors: Kirschner Martin , Heckmann Christian
Published: May 2020

Der Beitrag möchte die derzeitige Krise der katholischen Kirche einem an Organisationsentwicklung und Konfliktdynamiken interessierten Publikum erschließen. Dabei werden die aktuellen Krisenerfahrungen in den größeren Horizont der mit Modernisierungs­ und Globalisierungsprozessen verbundenen Polarisierungen eingeordnet, wie sie religiöse Gemeinschaften und die Gesellschaft selbst prägen. Diese Konflikte sind in der katholischen Kirche eng mit ihrer Organisationsstruktur verbunden, die theologisch gedeutet und begründet wird. Die verschiedenen Dialogprozesse in der katholischen Kirche lassen sich als Prozesse einer komplexen Organisationsentwicklung verstehen, welche nicht nur Organisationsstrukturen, sondern zugleich die Glaubenskultur und theologische Grundüberzeugungen betreffen. An den Erfahrungen mit der Synode im Bistum Trier werden Merkmale solcher Verständigungsprozesse dargestellt. In der Verschränkung von politischer Arena, Strategieentwicklung und einem Prozess geistlicher Verständigung und Umkehr liegt ihr Spezifikum.
Sportwettbetrug und Manipulation von berufssportlichen Wettbewerben
Authors: Krudewig Marius
Published: May 2020

Im Rahmen einer verfassungsrechtlichen und kriminalpolitischen Untersuchung beleuchtet die Arbeit umfassend die neuen Straftatbestände gegen Sportwettbetrug und Manipulation berufssportlicher Wettbewerbe, die der Gesetzgeber als Reaktion auf die Manipulationsskandale der letzten Jahre eingeführt hat. Erörtert wird u.a., ob es dem Gesetzgeber von Verfassungs wegen erlaubt ist, Strafvorschriften zum Schutze der „Integrität des Sports“ zu schaffen und ob die Tatbestände in Anbetracht vorhandener allgemeiner Strafvorschriften (§§ 263, 263a, 266 StGB) erforderlich sind. Die Arbeit beantwortet aber auch praktische Fragen die Auslegung der neuen Vorschriften betreffend, z.B., ob der aufstrebende E-Sport diesen unterfällt.
Rescuing Responsibility – and Freedom
Authors: Douglass Curran F. ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: May 2020

This paper confronts two questions: How is it possible to be free if causal determinism is true?; and relatedly, How then is the practice of holding persons responsible for their actions to be justified? On offer here is a compatibilist account of freedom, tying it to control; the relation – argued to be a necessary connection – is considered in some detail. Then the question of ability to ‘do otherwise’ is discussed, which has held a fascination for many in regard to free choice. Our ability to learn to choose rationally is key here, to becoming able to choose well and (hence) freely, freedom being understood realistically. A developed rationality is necessary for maximal free choice, and (as argued here) is also key to the justification of the practice of holding persons responsible for their actions – a practice which is both necessary (socially indispensable) and capable of being justified, on both moral and pragmatic grounds. There is nothing in determinism that threatens that justification, but rather enables it.
Inhabiting (CC.) ‘Religion’ in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit to Develop an Ambedkarite Critique of the Blasphemous Nucleus of Upanishadic Wisdom
Authors: Sampath Rajesh ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: May 2020

This paper begins with several opening passages from the most esoteric writings in Hinduism’s vast, ancient religious-philosophical heritage, namely the Upanishads. The aim is to reveal certain essential connections between the primordial relation between self and sacrifice while exploring uncanny paradoxes of eternity and time, immortals and mortals and their secret linkages. The work is entirely philosophical in its intent and does not aspire to defend a faith-perspective. The horizon for this exposition follows the spirit of Ambedkar’s critique of Brahmanic superiority inherent in this entire system of religious thought: we must expose what lies in the heart of modern Hinduism to reveal its inner-contradictory entanglements, which are not exactly innocuous. A phenomenological-deconstructive inspiration motivates our own critical theoretical-philosophical conceptualizations beyond Ambedkar’s basic attestation to liberate India from Hinduism. The enterprise derives from a speculative appropriation and extension of the depths of (CC.) ‘Religion,’ the penultimate chapter of Hegel’s indomitable Phenomenology of Spirit (1807). The aim of the paper is to advance new philosophical theses in an unrelenting metaphysical critique of Hinduism– beyond Ambedkar’s writings–but also in a manner that is irreducible to the Western philosophical cosmos within which the nineteenth-century Hegel inhabited. The paper argues that the internal contradictions and aporias of mortality, immortality, self, bodyhood, time, and eternity in the Hindu Upanishads can be contrasted with Hegel’s speculative Western-Christological propositions to expose a greater metaphysical complexity that escapes Eastern and Western religious and philosophical traditions alike. Therefore, the paper falls within the scope of comparative philosophies of religion.

Laura A. Millar. A Matter of Facts: The Value of Evidence in an Information Age.
Authors: French Laura J.
Published: May 2020

The postmodern and post-truth world we live in might have reached its zenith. Written for the general public and not specifically information professionals, Laura A. Millar’s A Matter of Facts: The Value of Evidence in an Information Age grapples with the definitions of data, facts, evidence, and truth and how these parts of information are used and abused in modern society. This volume is the first in the Archival Futures series, jointly published by the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and ALA Neal-Schuman, which will demonstrate “how the preservation and stewardship of the archival record is a collective effort that underpins and supports democratic societies and institutions” (viii). Dr. Millar is an obvious choice to lead the series, given her notable career as an independent consultant and her numerous publications on creating and maintaining archives during the last 30 years. Her passion for the field and conviction in the importance of her topic are apparent throughout the text.

‘Couture military’ and a queer aesthetic curiosity: music video aesthetics, militarised fashion, and the embodied politics of stardom in Rihanna’s ‘Hard’
Authors: Baker Catherine
Published: May 2020

Music video is an underappreciated type of audiovisual artefact in studies of the aesthetics of world politics, which typically privilege linear narrative storytelling and struggle to communicate how sonic and embodied practices also constitute world politics as sensory experiences through which individuals make sense of the world. Yet the ways in which music video invites spectators’ senses to work together, and to filter meaning through their knowledge of stars’ own ‘meta-narratives’, expose an intimate and affective continuum between the politics of stardom and attachments to collective projects such as militarism. This paper explores that continuum through a study of Rihanna’s video ‘Hard’ and the aesthetic strategies it used to visualise her performance of a ‘female military masculinity’ in a fantasised space employing signifiers of US desert war.
Music, mining and colonisation: Sámi contestations of Sweden’s self-narrative
Authors: Rosamond Annika Bergman
Published: May 2020

Sweden’s dominant self-narrative has tended to marginalise its historical colonisation of Sápmi. This aspect of Swedish history sits uncomfortably with prevalent understandings of that self-identity. Indeed, there has been little emphasis on the historical subordination of Sámi people in political science scholarship on Swedish exceptionalism and internationalism. This article problematises this absence by centring the analysis on Sámi musician Sofia Jannok’s efforts to decolonise Sápmi through her music. The first part examines Sweden’s colonisation of Sápmi and the tensions between Sámi reindeer herding communities, mining interests and the Swedish state. This is followed by an exploration of the constitutive relationship between music, politics and celebrity, as sites of political communication.  A two-step analysis follows, investigating the broad themes in Sofia Jannok’s personal narrative and the discursive markers defining her music and politics. The analysis shows how her narrative intersects with the discursive themes of her musical expression and other engagements.
Musical theatre and politics
Authors: Altman Dennis
Published: May 2020

The musical is in some ways the most significant contribution of the United States to theatre. Musicals have long been a space for considerable political expression, which is often overlooked in the tendency to view them as no more than light popular entertainments.
