Empowerment individuel et grand âge
Authors: Vandendoren Bénédict , Geurts Hélène , Haelewyck Marie-Claire
Published: July 2019

Cette enquête exploratoire s’intéresse au concept d’empowerment individuel dans le champ de la vieillesse et concerne des répondants âgés de 84 à 104 ans en situation de dépendance. Les données qualitatives issues d’entretiens semi-directifs mettent en évidence l’importance de l’environnement comme garant de la possibilité pour la personne d’exercer le contrôle sur sa vie et d’exprimer ses choix au sein de la relation aidant-aidé. Les verbatim soulignent des processus de déresponsabilisation, de surprotection, voire d’infantilisation, mettant en évidence la conscience que les personnes ont du contexte parfois délétère dans lequel elles évoluent. Ces résultats suggèrent de poursuivre la recherche afin de mieux comprendre le rôle de l’ environnement structurel et social dans le déploiement de l’empowerment individuel dans l’âge avancé.
1968-2018
Authors: Lavialle Christophe
Published: July 2019

Il y a cinquante ans, le modus vivendi établi dans l’après-guerre autour de la synthèse classico-keynésienne éclate. Il s’ensuit une période intense de révolution scientifique, qui voit les économistes remettre en cause le paradigme standard sur les plans analytique, tant en microéconomie qu’en macroéconomie, et méthodologique. Cette période se clôt par l’émergence d’une « nouvelle synthèse » qui, à peine constituée, est questionnée par le déclenchement de la crise de 2008, sans pourtant être, à ce jour, remise en cause.
50 ans de sociologie
Authors: Lallement Michel
Published: July 2019

Il y a cinquante ans, la sociologie était en phase de renaissance institutionnelle et intellectuelle, en France au premier chef. Depuis, un peu partout dans le monde, des travaux ont été conduits en suivant des lignes analytiques et méthodologiques qu’il est possible de rapporter à quatre grandes matrices analytiques. Dans le même temps, la domination du quadrige Boudon, Bourdieu, Crozier et Touraine s’est progressivement estompée au sein de l’Hexagone. La sociologie contemporaine a gagné en effectifs et elle s’est professionnalisée. Le risque majeur auquel elle est désormais exposée est celui d’un émiettement en de multiples micro-territoires de savoirs.
Les trois défis de la science politique française
Authors: Déloye Yves , Mayer Nonna
Published: July 2019

La science politique est l’une des disciplines fondamentales sur lesquelles se sont construites les SES. Comme les SES, cette discipline académique est loin d’être figée et a beaucoup évolué depuis 1968. Yves Déloye et Nonna Mayer – respectivement ancien secrétaire général et ancienne présidente de l’Association française de science politique –, proposent d’analyser ses transformations au cours des cinq dernières décennies au prisme de trois défis posés à la science politique française : son institutionnalisation, son développement démographique et son internationalisation.
« L’histoire politique n’est pas seulement faite d’idées et d’intérêts »

Il a accepté de répondre aux questions d’ Idées économiques et sociales pour revenir sur cette période qui permet également d’éclairer certains débats et enjeux qui ont traversé les sciences économiques et sociales durant cette période.
Consommateurs, coopérateurs et socialistes ? L’Union de Lille (1892-1914)
Authors: Collectif Samson  , Celle Sylvain , Chevallier Thomas , Schlegel Vianney
Published: July 2019

Cet article traite de la politisation par les pratiques économiques développées au sein de la coopérative socialiste de consommation « l’Union de Lille » au tournant des XIX e et XX e  siècles. Au-delà de l’amélioration des conditions de vie des classes populaires lilloises, ses dirigeants inscrivent explicitement les pratiques de consommation et l’organisation démocratique de la coopérative dans la perspective d’un projet politique socialiste, et plus particulièrement dans le guesdisme alors très influent dans le socialisme du nord de la France. Les pratiques et règles apparaissent comme un moyen de former des « consommateurs socialistes » et de fédérer la classe ouvrière, tout en finançant les activités du parti socialiste. Cependant, cette traduction politisée du projet coopératif n’est pas sans ambivalences, en ce qu’elle amène les coopérateurs à apprendre l’épargne et la prévoyance, le vote et la délégation. L’étude de coopératives socialistes permet ainsi d’éclairer les logiques complexes d’acculturation des classes populaires, à travers l’économie, aux formes dominantes de la politique sous la Troisième République.
Le recrutement des hauts dirigeants d’entreprises suisses (1910-1980)
Authors: Lucas Isabelle , Ginalski Stéphanie , David Thomas
Published: July 2019

Jusqu’à une période récente, les rares études qui se sont intéressées aux dirigeants d’entreprises en Suisse aux XIX e et XX e  siècles ont eu tendance à célébrer la figure du self-made man, parti de rien et parvenu à la fin de sa vie aux plus hautes positions de pouvoir. Cet article, qui porte sur l’origine sociale et la formation de plus de 800 hauts dirigeants des plus importantes entreprises suisses, actifs entre 1910 et 1980, s’inscrit en faux contre cette vision hagiographique. Il montre, confirmant les recherches sur le recrutement des grands dirigeants en Europe occidentale ou aux États-Unis, que l’origine sociale constitue le facteur le plus déterminant de la réussite. Deux spécificités helvétiques émergent toutefois. D’une part, quelques lieux de formation dominent, qui sont tous des établissements publics. D’autre part, l’armée joue un rôle important dans le parcours des dirigeants helvétiques. Ce lieu de sociabilité exclusivement masculin contribue à l’exclusion des femmes des centres de pouvoir économique.
PTSD: Risk Assessment and Early Management
Authors: Shalev Arieh Y. , Barbano Anna C.
Published: July 2019

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating and pernicious disorder that occurs in a significant proportion of survivors exposed to trauma. Early interventions may mitigate the development of PTSD among survivors who have risk factors. Beyond PTSD risk, survivors' initial distress may require immediate interventions. This article outlines clinically pertinent predictors of PTSD risk that inform early intervention decisions, delineates stress management approaches at the early aftermath of trauma, and discusses barriers to receiving mental health care by those at high risk for PTSD, and ways to mitigate them.

Evolución del proyecto del Salto del Jándula. Proceso de integración de la central hidroeléctrica en el cuerpo de presa
Authors: Carbajal-Ballell N.
Published: July 2019

El Salto del Jándula es una de las obras civiles paradigmáticas del siglo XX. Su característica central hidroeléctrica adosada al cuerpo de presa la ha convertido en referencia indiscutible entre arquitectos, ingenieros o historiadores. Y esta mirada poliédrica no es casual, pues desde su inicio se planteó como un proyecto multidisciplinar ligado a grandes planes territoriales. El riego en el valle del Guadalquivir y un ambicioso proyecto de canalización del río entre Córdoba y Sevilla fueron las razones por la que esta obra se llevaría a término, mas el origen de la singular solución que caracteriza su aprovechamiento hidroeléctrico es menos conocido siendo en realidad un resultado decantado a lo largo de sucesivos proyectos.
Personalized Reading: Developing User-Describing Profile for Slow Learner Children
Authors: Mansor Marzita , Adnan Wan Adilah Wan , Abdullah Natrah
Published: July 2019

Personalization is a good supplement for learning process. It has been claimed that personalization has a huge potential of providing solution to facilitate the learning path based on children ability and preferences. Diverse research on personalized learning for children have been conducted which, are commonly concerns on the development and implementation of personalized learning products and services. However these researches have little emphasized in exploring slow learner personalized learning process particularly on their reading ability. With that, this paper aims to highlight two key important processes of personalization for slow learner children which are construction of user profile and scenario. The scope of this study is on personalization of reading for slow learner children. There were 13 slow learner children with reading difficulties from primary school participated in this study. The key findings from this study are the construction of user profile and scenario that represent the personalization for reading. These user profile and scenario construction then provide guidelines for the development of personalized interface design for slow learner reading application.

 

 
Digital Storytelling as a Creative Teaching Method in Promoting Secondary School Students’ Writing Skills
Authors: Lim Pei Rong , Md Noor Norah
Published: July 2019

Abstract - With the current needs of shaping 21st-century classroom in schools, the use of technology has now become compulsory for teachers to incorporate in the classroom. The exposure to technology is highly necessary for the current generation to prepare them for the future ahead. Digital storytelling is one of the tools available in the market for learning. There is no much research yet found in Malaysia that investigates the usefulness of the digital storytelling in promoting secondary school students’ writing skills. Therefore, this research tries to implement one digital storytelling tool in teaching Writing for English Form 1 and tries to identify the elements of digital storytelling tool that might be able to promote students’ writing skills. This research involved fifteen Form 1 students. The data was collected through four (4) time series tests in a pre-experimental research study. The students’ performance in each treatment were marked according to the Rubrics to Assess Digital Stories and were analysed using Friedman Ranks Test. The finding shows that there is an improvement in students’ performance after four treatments of using the Digital Storytelling tools. For the elements of digital storytelling tool that affected after using the digital storytelling tool, the student respondents always applied six elements: ‘Overall Purpose of the Story’, ‘Dramatic Questions’, ‘Choice of Content’, ‘Pacing of the Narrative’, ‘Quality of the Images’ and ‘Good Grammar and Language Usage’. Furthermore, there is an improvement in student respondents’ post-test marks after four treatments of using Storybird. The study shows a relationship between elements of digital storytelling tool in the four treatments and students’ writing performance in post-test. All of the elements shows a significant relationship with students’ writing performance except for ‘Dramatic Questions’.
Vocabulary Learning Through Mobile Apps: A Phenomenological Inquiry of Student Acceptance and Desired Apps Features
Authors: Deris Farhana Diana , Shukor Nor Seha A
Published: July 2019

Vocabulary plays a great role in language learning as learners would face difficulties in language learning if they have insufficient vocabulary knowledge. The advent of new technologies has encouraged the development of mobile assisted language learning (MALL) and the increase in mobile apps for vocabulary learning. Nonetheless, it would seem that there is a dearth in research on the use of mobile apps for vocabulary learning especially in our local contexts. Capitalising on the strength of phenomenological inquiry and a model for technology acceptance, this study investigated several existing mobile apps for language learning. In particular, it looked into students’ acceptance and the features of mobile apps conducive for vocabulary learning. This study employed in-depth interviews and surveys as instruments. Using purposive sampling technique, thirty-three students were selected as participants to experience using mobile apps to learn vocabulary on self-directed basis for a specified duration. At the end of the trial stage, all participants responded to the surveys, and three were interviewed. The accounts given by participants indicated positive acceptance and several desired features. Interestingly, this study also revealed several challenges in learning vocabulary through mobile apps which should be the concern of both apps developers and language teachers.
Le voyage de Jean de Montfort à Limoges en 1341
Authors: Coativy Yves
Published: July 2019

Les débuts de la guerre de Succession de Bretagne
(1341-1364) ont suscité plusieurs mythes que l’historiographie récente
s’emploie à démonter. Le voyage de Jean de Montfort (1341-1345) à
Limoges au printemps 1341, pour s’emparer de l’argent de Jean III
(1312-1341), en fait partie. Il est probable qu’il est né d’une
interprétation erronée de l’inventaire des monnaies constituant le
trésor nantais du feu duc. Un examen attentif des sources permet de
préciser l’origine des informations, la façon dont elles ont été
développées avec le temps et leur remise en cause plus récente. C’est
aussi l’occasion de faire un point sur les métaux précieux que laisse
le dernier prince de la maison de Dreux à sa mort.
Les ducs de Bretagne, vicomtes de Limoges
Authors: Jeanneau Cédric
Published: July 2019

La présence bretonne en Limousin a été très critiquée par les érudits limougeauds mais les jugements de valeur sont à proscrire en histoire. Ce sont plutôt les motivations qui doivent être replacées au cœur des interrogations des historiens et notamment celles sur les rapports que les ducs de Bretagne ont pu entretenir avec ces possessions lointaines qui s’inscrivaient dans des traditions si différentes de leur contrée natale. La collation et le recensement des quelques allusions contenues dans les chroniques permettent de dépasser leurs attitudes au premier abord contradictoires et irréfléchies. La récupération des prérogatives de leurs prédécesseurs s’avérait illusoire, face à la puissance de l’évêque, de l’abbé de Saint-Martial et de certains seigneurs. Après l’échec de leur résistance à l’hommage et la commise de leurs fiefs, ils ont concentré leurs revendications les plus virulentes autour de quelques droits prestigieux et lucratifs comme l’exercice de la justice ou les droits sur le commerce. L’expédition de 1317 contre Saint-Yriex est révélatrice de la situation locale : si les hommes qui répondent à l’appel du vicomte Guy sont relativement nombreux, ils ne sont pas issus de son entourage géographique immédiat et le contingent breton, s’il n’est pas absent, n’est guère nombreux. Son assise repose moins sur les liens de fidélité jurés par les seigneurs de la région que sur l’administration et la cour de juridiction qu’il a développées, capables d’assurer les prélèvements et d’engranger des revenus.
Briser les hermines
Authors: Hablot Laurent
Published: July 2019

L’étude des armoiries portées par les vicomtes et
les vicomtesses de Limoges issus de la maison de Dreux-Bretagne est
l’occasion de revenir les évolutions de l’héraldique des titulaires de
ce fief entre le milieu du XIIIe siècle et la fin
du Moyen Âge. Si les sources sont assez pauvres, sceaux et monnaies
nous renseignent pourtant avec précision sur leurs choix. On y
constate que les armes des vicomtes de la maison de Comborn ne sont
pas oubliées par les Dreux-Bretagne et les Penthièvre et qu’elles
servent de relais entre les différents lignages titulaires. On observe
également qu’au gré de ces changements, les monnaies permettent
d’inventer des compositions héraldiques originales et efficaces.
Finalement ce contexte limousin semble avoir joué un rôle déterminant
dans l’assomption des armoiries aux hermines retenues définitivement
par le duc Jean III en 1316 et, ensuite, par ses parents.
Vers une archéographie du développement au Maghreb central : état de la question
Authors: Charpentier Agnès
Published: July 2019

Résumé : Cette étude a pris pour objet de dresser un état du développement du Maghreb central, saisi en longue durée, à partir des sources arabes médiévales, des textes européens d’époque moderne comme du dépouillement des archives militaires et des enquêtes du xixe et du début du xxe siècle. Les prospections archéologiques, menées ces dernières années dans la région de Tlemcen, éclairent parfois les descriptions et contribuent à enrichir la perception de la mise en valeur des terres. Deux thématiques sont présentes dans les différents textes étudiés : les ressources en eau et leur utilisation, les productions agricoles et l’élevage et leur répartition dans le territoire. Des mentions d’économie rurale comme de cultures et des zones montagneuses complètent notre perception des richesses de l’ouest du Maghreb central. La cartographie réalisée à partir de ces analyses met en lumière les permanences comme des ruptures de l’utilisation de ces richesses tout au long de la période visée.
Assessment of cochlear trauma and telemetry measures after cochlear implantation: A comparative study between Nucleus® CI512 and CI532 electrode arrays
Authors: Cuda Domenico , Murri Alessandra
Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to compare the new Cochlear™ Nucleus® Profile with Slim Modiolar Electrode (CI532, Cochlear Ltd., Sidney, Australia) with the previous Contour Advance® (CI512) implant through postoperative residual hearing (RH) threshold shift and telemetry measurements as indirect measures of cochlear trauma. We compared 21 patients implanted with the CI532 and 20 patients implanted with the CI512, matching the 2 groups for age and for hearing loss etiology. All subjects received audiological pure tone average (PTA) calculation pre- and postimplant. Electrode impedance was measured, followed by AutoNRT® to measure and evaluate the Neural Response Telemetry (NRT®) thresholds. Telemetry recordings were made intraoperatively, one month after surgery and one month after activation. The NRT-Ratio was calculated to evaluate full scala tympani (ST) insertion. The results showed a higher number of patients with preserved measurable hearing with the CI532 (10/15; P>0.05) compared to the CI512 (5/14; P<0.05). A significant difference in post-operative low frequency PTA was observed between the two groups. There were no significant differences for telemetry measurements and NRTRatio evaluation of full ST insertion (CI512: 81%; CI532: 95%). A significantly higher number of patients who preserved measurable hearing with the CI532, and a significantly higher post-operative low frequency PTA threshold compared with the CI512 confirmed better RH preservation and lower apical cochlear damage with the CI532. There was a high number of full ST insertions for both electrode arrays. Future studies should investigate the audiological effect of implantation in patients with higher levels of RH, correlating the results with the scalar position, to assess any lesser trauma of the CI532.

Naar een praktisch contingentie-model voor goed mkb-bestuur
Authors: de Bos Auke , Lanting Gerrit-Jan , van Mechelen Ralph , van der Ven Michiel
Published: July 2019

In tegenstelling tot de uitgebreide aandacht voor corporate governance is goed bestuur en toezicht in het midden- en kleinbedrijf (hierna mkb) verrassenderwijs een onderbelicht onderwerp, zowel vanuit de wetenschap als vanuit het bedrijfsleven en overheid. In de praktijk is er vanuit mkb-ondernemers de nodige weerstand om hier tijd en aandacht aan te besteden, mede door een (ten onrechte) met governance geassocieerde vrees voor bureaucratisering. Op basis van exploratief onderzoek, onder andere bestaand uit een literatuurstudie, mini-casestudies bij vier ondernemingen, expert panels en interviews komen wij tot de conclusie dat een proactieve en op performance gerichte aanpak van goed mkb-bestuur kan bijdragen aan een succesvollere mkb-sector. In het verlengde daarvan hebben wij een model voor goed mkb-bestuur ontwikkeld, het Diamond-model. Dit model is een eerste aanzet om mkb-ondernemers en hun adviseurs middels een laagdrempelig en praktisch kader na te laten denken over goed mkb-bestuur en hen een structuur te bieden die hen daarin faciliteert. Hierbij wordt rekening gehouden met de relevante situationele factoren (contingenties). Wij hopen hiermee een bredere discussie over nut, noodzaak en vorm van goed mkb-bestuur op gang te brengen.
Beschikbaarheid en kwaliteit van het bestuursverslag van grote en middelgrote rechtspersonen
Authors: Vergoossen Ruud G. A. , van Beest Ferdy
Published: July 2019

Grote en middelgrote rechtspersonen die verplicht een bestuursverslag moeten opstellen, mogen de deponering van het bestuursverslag bij het handelsregister achterwege laten indien zij het in plaats daarvan ten kantore van de rechtspersoon ter inzage van een ieder houden, op verzoek een afschrift tegen maximaal de kostprijs verstrekken en van het niet-deponeren en de terinzagelegging melding maken bij het handelsregister. We hebben onderzoek gedaan naar de beschikbaarheid en de kwaliteit van zowel de gedeponeerde als de niet-gedeponeerde, ter inzage gelegde bestuursverslagen over het boekjaar 2017 van grote en middelgrote rechtspersonen.

In ons onderzoek komt naar voren dat slechts circa één op de drie rechtspersonen het bestuursverslag deponeert en dat deponering vaak laat of te laat plaatsvindt doordat gebruik wordt gemaakt van een uitstelmogelijkheid die de wet biedt c.q. wettelijke termijnen worden overschreden. Daarnaast blijkt het met de beschikbaarheid van de niet-gedeponeerde, ter inzage gelegde bestuursverslagen over het algemeen slecht te zijn gesteld, doordat rechtspersonen (zeer) terughoudend, afwijzend of in het geheel niet reageren op een inzageverzoek. Het lijkt erop dat de introductie van de deponering in XBRL-formaat voor middelgrote rechtspersonen ertoe heeft geleid dat minder middelgrote rechtspersonen het bestuursverslag deponeren. Voor wat betreft de kwaliteit van de bestuursverslagen, tonen onze onderzoeksresultaten aan dat gedeponeerde bestuursverslagen significant beter zijn dan de niet-gedeponeerde, ter inzage gelegde bestuursverslagen en dat er een significant positief verband bestaat tussen de omvang en de kwaliteit van bestuursverslagen.

De onderzoeksbevindingen zijn voor ons aanleiding te pleiten voor een verplichte deponering van het bestuursverslag door grote en middelgrote rechtspersonen. Daarnaast vinden we dat de maximale deponeringstermijn voor grote en middelgrote rechtspersonen kan worden verkort, zodat bestuursverslagen eerder beschikbaar zijn.
Filling the gap between plot and landscape scale – eight years of soil erosion monitoring in 14 adjacent watersheds under soil conservation at Scheyern, Southern Germany
Authors: Fiener Peter , Wilken Florian , Auerswald Karl
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Watershed studies are essential for erosion research
because they embed real agricultural practices, heterogeneity along the flow
path, and realistic field sizes and layouts. An extensive literature review
covering publications from 1970 to 2018 identified a prominent lack of
studies, which (i) observed watersheds that are small enough to address
runoff and soil delivery of individual land uses, (ii) were considerably
smaller than erosive rain cells (<400 ha), (iii) accounted for the
episodic nature of erosive rainfall and soil conditions by sufficiently long
monitoring time series, (iv) accounted for the topographic, pedological,
agricultural and meteorological variability by measuring at high spatial and
temporal resolution, (v) combined many watersheds to allow comparisons, and
(vi) were made available. Here we provide such a dataset comprising 8 years of comprehensive soil erosion monitoring (e.g. agricultural
management, rainfall, runoff, sediment delivery). The dataset covers 14
adjoining and partly nested watersheds (sizes 0.8 to 13.7 ha), which were
cultivated following integrated (four crops) and organic farming (seven
crops and grassland) practices. Drivers of soil loss and runoff in all
watersheds were determined with high spatial and temporal detail (e.g., soil
properties are available for 156 m2 blocks, rain data with
1 min resolution, agricultural practices and soil cover with daily
resolution). The long-term runoff and especially the sediment delivery data
underline the dynamic and episodic nature of associated processes,
controlled by highly dynamic spatial and temporal field conditions (soil
properties, management, vegetation cover). On average, the largest 10 % of
events lead to 85.4 % sediment delivery for all monitored watersheds. The
analysis of the Scheyern dataset clearly demonstrates the distinct need for
long-term monitoring in runoff and erosion studies.
Technical Note: Evaluation of the Skill in Monthly-to-Seasonal Soil Moisture Forecasting Based on SMAP Satellite Observations over the Southeast US
Authors: Mazrooei Amirhossein ,   A. Sankarasubramanian, Lakshmi Venkat
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Providing accurate soil moisture (SM) conditions is a critical step in model initialization in weather forecasting, agricultural planning, and water resources management. This study develops monthly to seasonal (M2S) top layer SM forecasts by forcing 1–3 month ahead precipitation forecasts with Noah3.2 Land Surface Model. The SM forecasts are developed over the Southeast US (SEUS) and the SM forecasting skill is evaluated in comparison with the remotely sensed SM observations collected by Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite. Our results indicate potential in developing real-time SM forecasts. The retrospective 18-months (April 2015–September 2016) comparison between SM forecasts and the SMAP observations shows statistically significant correlations of 0.62, 0.57, and 0.58 over 1–3 month lead times respectively. As a case study, the evaluation of the issued forecasts based on the drought indexes monitored during the 2007 historical drought over the SEUS also indicate promising skill in monthly SM forecasting to support agricultural planning and water management for such natural hazards.

Objetivo. Trata da temática do acesso à informação pública a partir de uma análise frente ao seu relacionamento com a democracia.Método. A partir do diálogo com a literatura sobre o acesso à informação pública, são apresentados pontos norteadores para o debate sobre o processo de amadurecimento do regime democrático e consequentemente da sociedade centrada na importância da disponibilização da informação pública de maneira livre e tendo o sigilo uma exceção. Aborda também a importância do surgimento de normativos legais, conhecidos como leis de acesso à informação, na construção de condições que garantam o direito à informação pública.Resultados. Os resultados demonstraram que o engajamento civil na vida dos agentes públicos, aliado às tecnologias de informação que cada vez mais impedem ações escusas do Estado, conduziram à construção de um ambiente onde o acesso à informação e o direito de informar e ser informado ganham forças e começam a ditar o funcionamento das instituições públicas. Surge daí o direito à informação, uma instância poderosa que encontra sustentação a partir de diplomas legais específicos conhecidos como leis de acesso à informação para atuar como um ramo dedicado a estudar e prevalecer ante a cultura de ocultação dos agentes públicos há muito tempo existente.
The impact of freezing methods on functional and technological properties of semi-finished rabbit meat products
Authors: Tavdidishvili Dodo , Tsagareishvili Davit , Khutsidze Tsira , Pkhakadze Manana , Kvirikashvili Lana
Published: July 2019

During storage meat and semi-finished meat products, the decisive factor is the correct implementation of freezing process, because the physical, histological, biochemical, microbiological changes that occur at this time, affect the final quality of product after defrosting procedure. Accordingly, studies of the impact of traditional and shock-freezing methods on functional and technological properties of semi-finished rabbit meat products represent scientific and practical interest. The effect of freezing temperature of natural and minced semi-finished rabbit meat products on the duration of cold treatment process has been studied, and the regression equations of their relationships have been obtained and regression curves have been constructed. It has been established that unlike traditional method, by the type of semi-finished products, the duration of cold treatment by shock-freezing method is 3 - 3.5 times shorter. The optimal freezing parameters have also been selected. It has been shown that the use of shock-freezing method contributes to the reduction of mass losses of semi-finished rabbit meat products, and by the type of semi-finished products, they are 5 - 5.3 lower as compared to traditional method of freezing. The determination of functional properties has revealed that shock-freezing allows for increasing water binding capacity-by 23.2 - 31.9%, water holding capacity-by 20 - 25% and pH by 6.7 - 10.4%. There have been studied microbiological indicators of frozen semi-finished products and their changes during the storage process. It has been established that they meet the safety and hygiene requirements for meat products. The full results obtained indicate the advantage of shock-freezing method as compared to traditional methods, as well as point to the appropriateness of its use when selecting the cold treatment modes for semi-finished rabbit meat products.
Repair or accommodation? Split antecedent ellipsis and the limits of repair
Authors: Frazier Lyn , Duff John
Published: July 2019

We begin from the assumption that the grammar requires syntactic matching between an elided verb phrase (VP) and its antecedent. When a fully matching antecedent cannot be found, the antecedent will be repaired if there is evidence for the repair, only a few operations are needed, and the repair reverses a natural speech error. This view correctly predicts that acceptability judgements are inversely correlated with the degree of difficulty of the repair (Arregui et al. 2006; Frazier 2013) and lower when a repair is required than when it is not (Kim & Runner 2018; Clifton et al. 2019), for example.Split antecedent ellipsis looks like a proto-typical case of repair since by definition no matching antecedent is available. It will be argued, however, that split antecedent ellipsis does not involve repair. The results of several experiments show that split antecedent ellipsis does not exhibit the hallmarks of repair. Rather it may involve ordinary accommodation. This raises the question of when the processor repairs an input and when it merely accommodates an antecedent of the appropriate type. We suggest that repair to a grammatical form is unavailable for split ellipsis because syntactic representation is only reliably available for the last independent clause.
Patients’ satisfaction with the care provided by nurse practitioners in primary care settings of a remote region of Canada: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Regragui Safa , Gallagher Frances , Lacroix Manon , Leblond Guylaine , Cardinal Sylvie , Fecteau Lyne , Lacasse Anaïs
Published: July 2019

Objective: A cross-sectional correlational design was used to describe patients’ satisfaction with primary healthcare nurse practitioners and identify factors associated with their satisfaction regarding the services received in a remote region of Quebec, Canada.Methods: Patients who received care from eight primary healthcare nurse practitioners were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. STROBE checklist was adhered.Results: A total of 574 patients were recruited (participation rate: 76.6%). Patients were very satisfied with the healthcare services received, relationship with the practitioner, information received, duration of the consultation, and the overall consultation (89.6%-93.3%). The only variable associated with a higher likelihood of being very satisfied with the overall consultation was a longer duration of the consultation (adjusted OR: 1.029; CI: 1.005-1.054; p = .018).Conclusions: The high level of patients’ satisfaction and trust with healthcare nurse practitioners is a potential contributing factor to past and future success of their integration in primary healthcare services.

Published: July 2019

Background and objective: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common incapacitating complication of various chemotherapeutic agents that severely impact the patient’s quality of life. Most of patients treated with anticancer agents develop CIPN early after treatment and may necessitate dose modification or termination, which can increase cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Aim: investigate the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy and its Association with Quality of Life among Cancer patients.Methods: A descriptive study design was applied in this study, on a purposeful sample of 250 adult patients diagnosed with chemotherapy induce peripheral nephropathy. The study instruments were the demographic and medical history questionnaire, PNQ, EORTC CIPN20 and EORTC30.Results: Symptoms severities mean score is 5.58 ± 2.97. Sensory neuropathy registered the highest mean at 21.23 points, followed by motor (17.33) and autonomic (5.11). About one quarter of participants reported poor global quality of life. Poor physical function was reported by 22.3% of all participants. Fatigue, pain and insomnia were the most common symptoms suffered by patients. There is a relation between CIPN and duration of cancer diagnosis, type of cancer, intervention, gender, and other condition.Conclusions: CIPN is the furthermost common complication of chemotherapy that affects patient’s QoL. Assessment of chemotherapy-related peripheral neuropathy helps clinicians to develop and evaluate much needed targeted therapies and to help improving QoL.

Published: July 2019

Background and objective: One of the important goals of nursing education is to motivate nurses to acquire skills for providing proper quality of health care services to clients with various complex health problems. Accomplishing this has challenged educational organizations for long years. The aim of the present study is to identify the relationship between Learner-Centered Teaching and learning motivation among Nursing Students in Minia University.Methods: A quantitative-correlational research design was utilized in the present study. The study sample comprised all fourth-year nursing students who were available at the time of data collection (N = 168). For the assessment of Learner-Centered Teaching Practices and learning motivation, a questionnaire developed by Rossi (2009) was used for data collection.Results: The study participants reported their highest mean scores about learner-centered teaching practices with three domains as follows: facilitates the learning process, provides for individual and social learning needs, and establishes positive interpersonal relationships. Also, they expressed highest mean scores about learning motivation with intrinsic motivation factors. Additionally, the study findings presented high statistical significant difference and fair positive relationship between all subscales of learner-centered teaching practices and intrinsic motivation factors (p value = .001).Conclusions: Nursing curriculum should include learner as active contributors in the learning process. When nurse educators give a lecture and encourage students to interact actively with ideas, and information after the lecture, this will motivate students to be an active learner, as well as, inspire innovative thinking and creativity of the students.
Evaluation of fragility functions with potential relevance for use in New Zealand
Authors: Yeow Trevor Z. , Sullivan Timothy J. , Elwood Kenneth J.
Published: July 2019

One barrier to adopting seismic loss estimation frameworks in New Zealand engineering practice is the lack of relevant fragility functions which provide probabilities of exceeding certain levels of damage (e.g. cracking of gypsum wallboards) for a given demand (e.g. interstorey drifts). This study seeks to address this need for four different building components; interior full-height steel-framed plasterboard partition walls, unbraced suspended ceilings, precast concrete cladding, and steel beam-column joints with extended bolted end-plate connections. Fragility functions were sourced from literature, and their potential for use in New Zealand is evaluated considering similarities in component detailing with local practices. Modifications to a number of fragility functions, including generalizations for easier adoption in practice, are proposed. A loss estimation case study of a 4-storey steel moment-resisting frame is performed to investigate the significance of fragility function selection. It is shown that the definition of damage states can have a noticeable influence on the assessment of incurred repair cost of individual building components. This indicates that fragility functions should be carefully selected, particularly if the performance evaluation of each individual component is of utmost importance. However, the observed difference in expected annual repair cost of the entire building was small, indicating that in cases where fragility functions are not readily applicable for use in New Zealand, other fragility functions may be used as placeholders without drastically altering the outcome of loss analysis for the entire building.

Published: July 2019

Higher military education is nowadays undergoing numerous changes due to the
“Concept of the development of higher military education in 2017-2026” adopted
in 2016. The following article looks at the planned modifications in the context of
training aviation personnel for the needs of the Air Force. The “Training military
pilots” section discusses the process of training candidates to be military pilots, the
main problems related to it as well as the nature of the system of training and educating
the cadets of the Polish Air Force University. The considerations in the next section
of the article concern the selection of candidates for military pilots. The recruitment,
consisting of several stages, aims to efficiently identify the best candidates for service
in aviation. The screening training, the aim of which is to check the predispositions of
candidates for serving as pilots, is a novelty in this process. The chapter “Selection”
looks at the solutions applied so far in the School of Eaglets, and also analyses the
benefits of the new recruitment method. The final sections of the article concern the
profile of the graduates of the Polish Air Force University, their target skills and the
development plans of the University in the face of the challenges posed.
WILLI DROST: THE LAST DIRECTOR OF THE
STADTMUSEUM (CITY MUSEUM) IN GDAŃSK
Authors: Kramer-Galińska Iwona
Published: July 2019

As much as the history of the Free City of Danzig
(1920–1939) has been dedicated numerous academic studies,
the activity of its institutions and people, particularly Gdańsk
residents of German nationality who played a significant role
in the city’s political, cultural, scientific, educational, and
spiritual life until 1945 has been hardly investigated. One of
such individuals is Willi Drost born in Gdańsk in 1892. Following
his studies and academic work in Leipzig, Marburg, Cologne,
and Konigsberg, in 1930 he returned to Gdańsk, where he
was offered the position of a custodian and later conservator
of monuments of the Free City of Gdańsk; furthermore, as of
1938 he was appointed Director of the City Museum, which
he remained uninterruptedly until 1945. Beginning from
1930, he was also professor of art history at the Technischer
Hochschule, engineering university, as well as curator of
Museum Collections for the whole region of Gdańsk – Western
Prussia. His scholarly activity yielded numerous publications in
art theory, North European modern painting, and Gdańsk art.
Furthermore, Drost takes credit for the inventory of Gdańsk
historic churches conducted from 1934 onwards. Resorting
to the preserved materials, in 1957–1964, Drost published
a 5-volume series titled Art Monuments of the City of Gdańsk
(Kunstdenkmäler der Stadt Danzig).
During WW II, together with Prof. Erich Volmar, he
supervised the action of protecting and evacuating art
works from the City Museum, Town Hall’s Red Room, Artus
Manor, Uphagen’s House, as well as from churches and other
historic facilities. Directly following the end of WW II, Drost
stayed on in Gdańsk, helping Polish art historians to recover
art works hidden in the city and its vicinity. Having left for
Germany in the spring of 1946, he was professor at Hamburg
and Tubingen universities. Until his last days he continued
to promote the cultural heritage of Gdańsk. In recognition
of his merits, Drost was honoured with numerous awards
in Germany, while in 1992, on the 100th anniversary of his
Birthday, a plaque commemorating him was unveiled in front
of the building of the former City Museum (Stadtmuseum),
today housing the National Museum in Gdańsk. The paper’s
goal is to popularize Drost’s endeavours as a museologist, and
to recall all he did for Gdańsk.

ON THE PAPER MILL IN DUSZNIKI-ZDRÓJ,
DUSZNIKI-ZDRÓJ 2018, PP. 407
Authors: Przerwa Tomasz
Published: July 2019

The historic paper mill in Duszniki-Zdrój (Lower
Silesia Voivodeship) was granted Poland’s Historic Monument
status in 2011, which confirms the complex’s historic and
artistic worth. Currently, attempts are made to make it enter
the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List, actually together
with the Czech Velke Losiny paper mill and the German one
in Homburg. It should also be borne in mind that in 2018
Poland’s only Museum of Papermaking located on its premises
celebrated 50 years of its existence. The Museum’s employees,
headed by Maciej Szymczyk PhD, have recently been extremely
successful as far as organization, investments, displays, and
publications are concerned. As for the latter, preparations for
an extensive Monograph on the Paper Mill in Duszniki-Zdrój
have to be pointed to; the book is an academic attempt at
presenting the facility’s complex history, beginning from the
16th century, as well the individuals related to it; furthermore,
efforts to preserve the precious facility and its adaptation
to serve museum purposes are described. The presented
publication can be viewed as a successful crowning of the todate
research, providing solid grounds for the documentation
to support the UNESCO List entry application. The strongly
factual and richly illustrated monograph should be analyzed
on various levels, one of them speaking of the effect of the
coherent and consistent activities of museologists.
FROM THE STUDIES ON ‘DEGENERATE ART’
TWENTY YEARS AFTER THE WASHINGTON
CONFERENCE. SZCZECIN’S CASE (MUSEUM DER
STADT STETTIN)
Authors: Kacprzak Dariusz
Published: July 2019

On 5 August 1937, fulfilling the orders of the
Chairman of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts (Reichskammer
der bildenden Künste), a confiscation committee showed
up at the City Museum in Stettin, and demanded to be
presented by the Director of the institution the Museum’s
collection in view of ‘degenerate art’. While ‘hunting’
for the Avant-garde and ‘purging museums’, the Nazis
confiscated works that represented, e.g. Expressionism,
Cubism, Bauhaus Constructivism, pieces manifesting the
aesthetics of the New Objectivity, as well as other socially
and politically ‘suspicious’ art works from the late Belle
Époque, WWI, German Revolution of 1918–1919, or from
Weimer Republic Modernism of the 1920s and 30s. The
infamous Munich ‘Entartete Kunst’ Exhibition turned into a
travelling propaganda display, presented in different variants
at different venues. A three-week show (11 Jan.–5 Feb.
1939) was also held in Stettin, in the Landeshaus building
(today housing the Municipality of Szczecin).
Provenance studies: biographies of the existing works,
often relocated, destroyed, or considered to have been lost, constitute an interesting input into the challenging
chapter on German and European Avant-garde, Szczecin
museology, and on Pomerania art collections. Side by side
with the artists, it was museologists and art dealers who cocreated
this Pomeranian history of art. The Szczecin State
Archive contains a set of files related to ‘degenerate art’,
revealing the mechanisms and the course of the ‘museum
purge’ at the Stettin Stadtmuseum. The archival records
of the National Museum in Szczecin feature fragments of
inventory ledgers as well as books of acquisitions, which
provide a particularly precious source of knowledge. The
published catalogue of the works of ‘degenerate art’ from
the Museum’s collections covering 1081 items has been
created on the grounds of the above-mentioned archival
records, for the first time juxtaposed, and cross-checked.
The mutually matching traces of information from Polish
and German archives constitute a good departure point for
further more thorough studies.
