Legal regulation of financial control over the activities of business entities
Authors: Kolisnyk Anna
Published: October 2020

Problem setting. In the context of the ongoing European integration processes, the issue of creating a modern, optimal and effective system of measures of state financial control over the activities of economic entities is becoming increasingly important for Ukraine. First of all, it is necessary to clearly and coherently regulate public financial control, in particular, its types, methods, forms, procedures, as well as the legal status of public financial control in order to prevent violations of financial legislation by economic entities and promote harmonization of the national economy. with the economic systems of other developed countries.
Analysis of recent research. Some problems of legal regulation of state financial control have been studied by such scientists as: L. Voronova, O. Grachova, O. Dmytryk, M. Kucheryavenko, T. Latkovska, O. Semchyk etc. At the same time, as we have already noted, the imperfection of legislative regulation (the presence of conflicts and gaps in the regulation of public financial control), the imperfection of the system of public financial control and other factors necessitate further research and proposals for improving existing legislation. in this area. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze the current state of legal regulation of public financial control in Ukraine.
Article’s main body. The article considers the legal regulation of financial control over the activities of economic entities in Ukraine. The need to improve the current legislation in the field of financial control was emphasized. It was emphasized that the legislator now prohibits tax audits for all taxpayers, regardless of their division into large, small and medium. Excluding large taxpayers from the list of taxpayers covered by the moratorium during the quarantine period without available grounds, in fact, violates the principles of tax law.
Conclusions. It is emphasized that the relationship between business entities and regulatory authorities should be as flexible as possible and implemented in the form of public-private partnership. It is proposed to amend Art. 26 of the Budget Code of Ukraine and to consolidate the definition of “control over compliance with budget legislation”, as well as to determine the forms (methods) of its implementation.
Mass Transport Models in Organic Solvent Nanofiltration: A Review
Authors: Ghazali Nazlee Faisal , Ki Min Lim
Published: October 2020

Membrane technology has been gradually used as an alternative to the conventional separation and purification method in various industries. In recent years, solvent-stable nanofiltration or organic solvent nanofiltration has becoming practicable through the development of solvent-stable commercial polymeric membranes. Organic solvent nanofiltration has a great potential to replace the conventional energy-demanding process such as distillation due to its ability of separating organic solvents and solutes on a molecular level without phase change and operation at relatively mild temperature. Predicting the performance of such membrane separations is crucial in the process design. Important performance indicator such as the permeate flux and the rejections are strongly related to the fluid dynamics, mass transfer and solute-solvent-membrane interactions. The aim of this paper is to review and assess the transport models of solute and solvent transport relevant to organic solvent nanofiltration. The link between concentration polarization and the hydrodynamics in various configurations are discussed. The effects of process variables on membrane performance and solute-solvent membrane interactions are also reviewed.

Published: October 2020

Facility Layout Problem (FLP) can be considered as a classical problem in quantitative studies. However, the literature in FLP are largely neglected the thermal comfort as part of the objective function. Today, energy savings for buildings are a major concern in the world as they cover a big portion of energy use. The public room consumes high energy use because of its ability to occupy many people at one time. Issues arise when each person has a dissimilar thermal satisfaction rate, while each area in a room provides a different temperature. There are many factors that influence the people dispersion in the room including the facility layout. However, it is really testing to handle an air-conditioning control () system by considering the mention factors to ensure the thermal satisfaction is increased and energy is reduced. Since lack of report on thermal factors in Facility Layout Problem (FLP) area, this work aims to optimize the temperature setting of an system at the best point and achieving the finest plan for the facility layout in a room. Further, our ultimate goals to maximize the thermal comfort level and reduce energy consumption are able to accomplish. A non-linear mathematical model is utilized to optimize the thermal satisfaction rate () and room layout. At the end of the article, we proposed an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to find a quality solution or near optimal since it is hard to solve this problem in a reasonable time.
A little known topic ‘Menstrual Psychosis’: A case report and a short review literature
Authors: COLAK Sabri , SUYABATMAZ Güner , HOCAOGLU Cicek
Published: October 2020

Menstrual psychosis (MP) is a condition that is associated with the menstrual cycle and can cause significant mental changes. Information about diagnosis and treatment approaches is limited. MP, which is generally reported to occur in young women around the age of 16, typically has an acute onset consistent with the premenstrual cycle, with short-term psychotic symptoms, and a clinical appearance that ends within a few days of discontinuation of menstruation bleeding. In addition to psychotic symptoms, patients may have significant mood symptoms. In this study, a 42-year-old female patient presented to the psychiatry outpatient clinic with complaints of suspicion of people, thinking that she would see them evil, inability to focus, attention, lack of willingness and insomnia. The patient reported that each of these symptoms occurred during her premenstrual period. Unlike other studies, our case is of adult age. We believe that our study will contribute to the current literature.

Authors:   Fukuoka University, Japan, Amaba Takafumi , Friedrich Roland ,   ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Published: October 2020

We introduce the class of controlled Loewner-Kufarev equations and consider aspects of their algebraic nature. We lift the solution of such a controlled equation to the (Sato)-Segal-Wilson Grassmannian, and discuss its relation with the tau-function. We briefly highlight relations of the Grunsky matrix with integrable systems and conformal field theory. Our main result is the explicit formula which expresses the solution of the controlled equation in terms of the signature of the driving function through the action of words in generators of the Witt algebra.
EVALUATING ACOMP, FLAASH AND QUAC ON WORLDVIEW-3 FOR SATELLITE DERIVED BATHYMETRY (SDB) IN SHALLOW WATER
Authors: Basith Abdul , Prastyani Ratna
Published: October 2020

Bathymetry map is instrumental for monitoring marine ecosystem and supporting marine transportation. Optical satellite imagery has been widely utilised as an alternative method to derive bathymetry map in shallow water. Nonetheless, interactions between electromagnetic energy and Earth’s atmosphere causing the atmosphere effects pose a significant challenge in satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) application. In this study, Worldview-3 imagery was used to obtain bathymetry map in shallow water. Three atmospheric correction models (ACOMP, FLAASH and QUAC) were employed to eliminate atmospheric effects on Worldview-3 imagery. Three simple band ratios involving coastal blue, blue, green and yellow band were used to test the performance of atmospheric correction models. ACOMP combined with blue and green band ratio efficaciously provided the best performance where it explained 77% of model values. Bathymetry map obtained from Worldview-3 was also validated using bathymetry data acquired from bathymetric survey over the study area. The estimated depths shared aggregable results with measured depths (depth < 20 m) with accuracy of 2.07 m. This study shows that robust atmospheric correction combined with suitable simple band combinations offered bathymetry map retrieval with relatively high accuracy.
THE INFLUENCE OF CORPORATE FINANCIALIZATION ON ASYMMETRIC COST BEHAVIOR: WEAKENING OR WORSENING
Authors: Zhu Guanping , Hu Wenxiu , Peng Tao , Xue Chaokai
Published: October 2020

This paper investigates the relationship between corporate financialization and asymmetric cost behavior using the Chinese listed companies over the period of 2009–2017. To examine the heterogeneous impacts of corporate financialization on asymmetric cost behavior, the paper analyzes the subsamples classified by different internal controls, compensation incentives, and agency problems. The multiple linear regression is used to test the research hypothesis. The research finds a negative relationship between corporate financialization and asymmetric cost behavior, which indicates that corporate financialization significantly weakens asymmetric cost behavior. Further studies show that the negative effect of corporate financialization on asymmetric cost behavior is mainly manifested in firms with good internal control quality, strong compensation incentive and low agency problem. On the contrary, the negative effect is insignificant in firms with poor internal control quality, weak compensation incentive and high agency problem. The results can not only enrich the existing literature, but also provide new evidence and inspiration for how to control asymmetric cost behavior of enterprises.

We present a new optical (400–950 nm) transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-31b (M = 0.48 M
J; R = 1.54 R
J; P = 3.41 days), obtained by combining four transit observations. These transits were observed with IMACS on the Magellan Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory as part of the ACCESS project. We investigate the presence of clouds/hazes in the upper atmosphere of this planet, as well as the contribution of stellar activity on the observed features. In addition, we search for absorption features of the alkali elements Na i and K i, with particular focus on K i, for which there have been two previously published disagreeing results. Observations with Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/STIS detected K i, whereas ground-based low- and high-resolution observations did not. We use equilibrium and nonequilibrium chemistry retrievals to explore the planetary and stellar parameter space of the system with our optical data combined with existing near-IR observations. Our best-fit model is that with a scattering slope consistent with a Rayleigh slope (

), high-altitude clouds at a log cloud top pressure of −3.6

bars, and possible muted H2O features. We find that our observations support other ground-based claims of no K i. Clouds are likely why signals like H2O are extremely muted and Na or K cannot be detected. We then juxtapose our Magellan/IMACS transmission spectrum with existing VLT/FORS2, HST/WFC3, HST/STIS, and Spitzer observations to further constrain the optical-to-infrared atmospheric features of the planet. We find that a steeper scattering slope (α = 8.3 ± 1.5) is anchored by STIS wavelengths blueward of 400 nm and only the original STIS observations show significant potassium signal.

We present new Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) images of the central region of the W49A star-forming region at 3.6 cm and at 7 mm at resolutions of 015 (1650 au) and 004 (440 au), respectively. The 3.6 cm data reveal new morphological detail in the ultracompact H ii region population, as well as several previously unknown and unresolved sources. In particular, source A shows elongated, edge-brightened bipolar lobes, indicative of a collimated outflow, and source E is resolved into three spherical components. We also present VLA observations of radio recombination lines at 3.6 cm and 7 mm, and IRAM Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations at 1.2 mm. Three of the smallest ultracompact H ii regions (sources A, B2, and G2) all show broad kinematic linewidths, with ΔV
FWHM ≳ 40 km s−1. A multi-line analysis indicates that broad linewidths remain after correcting for pressure broadening effects, suggesting the presence of supersonic flows. Substantial changes in linewidth over the 21 yr time baseline at both 3.6 cm and 7 mm are found for source G2. At 3.6 cm, the linewidth of G2 changed from 31.7 ± 1.8 km s−1 to 55.6 ± 2.7 km s−1, an increase of +23.9 ± 3.4 km s−1. The G2 source was previously reported to have shown a 3.6 cm continuum flux density decrease of 40% between 1994 and 2015. This source sits near the center of a very young bipolar outflow whose variability may have produced these changes.
Three-dimensional Modeling of the Magnetothermal Evolution of Neutron Stars: Method and Test Cases
Authors: Grandis Davide De , Turolla Roberto , Wood Toby S. , Zane Silvia , Taverna Roberto , Gourgouliatos Konstantinos N.
Published: October 2020

Neutron stars harbor extremely strong magnetic fields within their solid outer crust. The topology of this field strongly influences the surface temperature distribution and, hence, the star’s observational properties. In this work, we present the first realistic simulations of the coupled crustal magnetothermal evolution of isolated neutron stars in three dimensions accounting for neutrino emission, obtained with the pseudo-spectral code parody. We investigate both the secular evolution, especially in connection with the onset of instabilities during the Hall phase, and the short-term evolution following episodes of localized energy injection. Simulations show that a resistive tearing instability develops in about a Hall time if the initial toroidal field exceeds

G. This leads to crustal failures because of the huge magnetic stresses coupled with the local temperature enhancement produced by dissipation. Localized heat deposition in the crust results in the appearance of hot spots on the star surface, which can exhibit a variety of patterns. Because the transport properties are strongly influenced by the magnetic field, the hot regions tend to drift away and get deformed following the magnetic field lines while cooling. The shapes obtained with our simulations are reminiscent of those recently derived from NICER X-ray observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451.
The Depth and the Vertical Extent of the Energy Deposition Layer in a Medium-class Solar Flare
Authors: Radziszewski Krzysztof , Falewicz Robert , Rudawy Paweł
Published: October 2020

We analyze here variations of the position and the vertical extent of the energy deposition layer (EDL) in the C1.6 GOES-class solar flare observed at 10:20 UT on 2012 September 10. The variations of the EDL are contrasted with the variations of the spectra and emission intensities recorded in the Hα line with very high time resolution using the MSDP spectrograph at Białków Observatory. The flare radiated hard X-rays (HXR) detectable up to a energy of 70 keV. A numerical model of the flare used in the analysis assumes that the nonthermal electrons (NTEs) carried the external energy to the flare. The energy flux of the NTEs was derived from a nonthermal component seen in RHESSI spectra. The main geometrical parameters of the flare were derived using restored RHESSI imaging data. We found that the variations of the X-ray fluxes recorded in various energy bands and the variations of the Hα intensities were well-correlated in time during the pre-impulsive and impulsive phases of the flare, and they agreed with the variations of the calculated position and vertical extent of the EDL. The variations of the emission noticed in various parts of the Hα line profile were caused by individual episodes of energy deposition by the beams of NTEs of various energy spectra on various depths in the chromospheric plasma. These results supplement our previous findings for the solar flare on 2013 June 21, having nearly the same GOES class of C1.1 but HXR emission below 34 keV only.
Dynamics of Companion Galaxies of Early-type Galaxies
Authors: Chen Cheng-Yu , Hwang Chorng-Yuan
Published: October 2020

We estimated the dynamical masses of 115 early-type galaxies (ETGs) by analyzing the dynamics of satellite and companion galaxies of these ETGs. We selected galaxies with absolute magnitudes between −22 and −25 in the K

s
-band from the Extragalactic Distance Database. We also selected 216 spiral galaxies for comparison. We employed a simple model to simulate the observed dynamical mass from satellite galaxies at various distances. Our simulations showed that the dynamical masses derived from satellite galaxies with elliptical orbits would be smaller than those with circular orbits even though they contain the same dark mass halos. Therefore, relationships between the observed M
dyn/M
b distributions and distances would depend on orbital shapes. From the relationships between our observed M
dyn/M
b distributions and distances, we suggest that the satellite galaxies of the ETGs have relatively more elliptical orbits than those of the spiral galaxies and the M
dyn/M
b of the ETGs are greater than those of the spiral galaxies.
Application and Interpretation of Deep Learning for Identifying Pre-emergence Magnetic Field Patterns
Authors: Dhuri Dattaraj B. , Hanasoge Shravan M. , Birch Aaron C. , Schunker Hannah
Published: October 2020

Magnetic flux generated within the solar interior emerges to the surface, forming active regions (ARs) and sunspots. Flux emergence may trigger explosive events—such as flares and coronal mass ejections, and therefore understanding emergence is useful for space-weather forecasting. Evidence of any pre-emergence signatures will also shed light on subsurface processes responsible for emergence. In this paper, we present a first analysis of EARs from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic Emerging Active Regions dataset using deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to characterize pre-emergence surface magnetic field properties. The trained CNN classifies between pre-emergence line-of-sight magnetograms and a control set of nonemergence magnetograms with a true skill statistic (TSS) score of approximately 85% about 3 hr prior to emergence and approximately 40% about 24 hr prior to emergence. Our results are better than a baseline classification TSS obtained using discriminant analysis (DA) of only the unsigned magnetic flux, although a multivariable DA produces TSS values consistent with the CNN. We develop a network-pruning algorithm to interpret the trained CNN and show that the CNN incorporates filters that respond positively as well as negatively to the unsigned magnetic flux of the magnetograms. Using synthetic magnetograms, we demonstrate that the CNN output is sensitive to the length scale of the magnetic regions, with small-scale and intense fields producing maximum CNN output and possibly a characteristic pre-emergence pattern. Given increasing popularity of deep learning, the techniques developed here to interpret the trained CNN—using network pruning and synthetic data—are relevant for future applications in solar and astrophysical data analysis.

Published: October 2020

We present results from deep, wideband, high spatial and spectral resolution observations of the nearby luminous radio galaxy Cygnus A with the Jansky Very Large Array. The high surface brightness of this source enables detailed polarimetric imaging, providing images at

, spanning 2–18 GHz, and at 0.″30 (6–18 GHz). The fractional polarization from 2000 independent lines of sight across the lobes decreases strongly with decreasing frequency, with the eastern lobe depolarizing at higher frequencies than the western lobe. The depolarization shows a considerable structure, varying from monotonic to strongly oscillatory. The fractional polarization in general increases with increasing resolution at a given frequency, as expected. However, there are numerous lines of sight with more complicated behavior. We have fitted the

images with a simple model incorporating random, unresolved fluctuations in the cluster magnetic field to determine the high-resolution, high-frequency properties of the source and the cluster. From these derived properties, we generated predicted polarization images of the source at lower frequencies, convolved to 0.″75. These predictions are remarkably consistent with the observed emission. The observations are consistent with the lower-frequency depolarization being due to unresolved fluctuations on scales ≳ 300–700 pc in the magnetic field and/or electron density superposed on a partially ordered field component. There is no indication in our data of the location of the depolarizing screen or the large-scale field, either or both of which could be located throughout the cluster or in a boundary region between the lobes and the cluster.
A 60 kpc Galactic Wind Cone in NGC 3079

Published: October 2020

Galactic winds are associated with intense star formation and active galactic nuclei. Depending on their formation mechanism and velocity, they may remove a significant fraction of gas from their host galaxies, thus suppressing star formation, enriching the intergalactic medium, and shaping the circumgalactic gas. However, the long-term evolution of these winds remains mostly unknown. We report the detection of a wind from NGC 3079 to at least 60 kpc from the galaxy. We detect the wind in far-ultraviolet (FUV) line emission to 60 kpc (as inferred from the broad FUV filter in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer) and X-rays to at least 30 kpc. The morphology, luminosities, temperatures, and densities indicate that the emission comes from shocked material, and the O/Fe ratio implies that the X-ray-emitting gas is enriched by Type II supernovae. If so, the speed inferred from simple shock models is about 500 km s−1, which is sufficient to escape the galaxy. However, the inferred kinetic energy in the wind from visible components is substantially smaller than canonical hot superwind models.

We present the discovery of PSO J083.8371+11.8482, a weak emission line quasar with extreme star formation rate at z = 6.3401. This quasar was selected from Pan-STARRS1, UHS, and unWISE photometric data. Gemini/GNIRS spectroscopy follow-up indicates a Mg ii-based black hole mass of

M
⊙ and an Eddington ratio of

, in line with an actively accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) at z ≳ 6. Hubble Space Telescope imaging sets strong constraint on lens boosting, showing no relevant effect on the apparent emission. The quasar is also observed as a pure point source with no additional emission component. The broad-line region (BLR) emission is intrinsically weak and not likely caused by an intervening absorber. We found rest-frame equivalent widths of EW

, EW

Å (3σ upper limit), and EW

. A small proximity zone size (

pMpc) indicates a lifetime of only

years from the last quasar phase ignition. ALMA shows extended [C ii] emission with a mild velocity gradient. The inferred far-infrared luminosity (

) is one of the highest among all known quasar hosts at z ≳ 6. Dust and [C ii] emissions put a constraint on the star formation rate of SFR = 900–

, similar to that of a hyperluminous infrared galaxy. Considering the observed quasar lifetime and BLR formation timescale, the weak-line profile in the quasar spectrum is most likely caused by a BLR that is not yet fully formed rather than by continuum boosting by gravitational lensing or a soft continuum due to super-Eddington accretion.

We examine the properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) at low redshift in a range of simulated Milky Way mass halos. The sample is comprised of seven idealized simulations, an adaptive mesh refinement cosmological zoom-in simulation, and two groups of 50 halos with star-forming or quiescent galaxies taken from the TNG100 simulation. The simulations have very different setups, resolution, and feedback models, but are analyzed in a uniform manner. By comparing median radial profiles and mass distributions of CGM properties, we isolate key similarities and differences. In doing so, we advance the efforts of the Simulating Multiscale Astrophysics to Understand Galaxies project that aims to understand the inherently multiscale galaxy formation process. In the cosmological simulations, the CGM exhibits nearly flat temperature distributions, and broad pressure and radial velocity distributions. In the idealized simulations, similar distributions are found in the inner CGM (

) when strong galactic feedback models are employed, but the outer CGM (

) has a much less prominent cold phase, and narrower pressure and velocity distributions even in models with strong feedback. This comparative analysis demonstrates the dominant role feedback plays in shaping the inner CGM and the increased importance of cosmological effects, such as nonspherical accretion and satellite galaxies, in the outer CGM. Furthermore, our findings highlight that, while cosmological simulations are required to capture the multiphase structure of the CGM at large radii, idealized simulations provide a robust framework to study how galactic feedback interacts with the inner CGM, and thereby provide a reliable avenue to constrain feedback prescriptions.
Abundant Atmospheric Methane from Volcanism on Terrestrial Planets Is Unlikely and Strengthens the Case for Methane as a Biosignature
Authors: Wogan Nicholas , Krissansen-Totton Joshua , Catling David C.
Published: October 2020

The disequilibrium combination of abundant methane and carbon dioxide has been proposed as a promising exoplanet biosignature that is readily detectable with upcoming telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope. However, few studies have explored the possibility of nonbiological CH4 and CO2 and related contextual clues. Here we investigate whether magmatic volcanic outgassing on terrestrial planets can produce atmospheric CH4 and CO2 with a thermodynamic model. Our model suggests that volcanoes are unlikely to produce CH4 fluxes comparable to biological fluxes. Improbable cases where volcanoes produce biological amounts of CH4 also produce ample carbon monoxide. We show, using a photochemical model, that high abiotic CH4 abundances produced by volcanoes would be accompanied by high CO abundances, which could be a detectable false-positive diagnostic. Overall, when considering known mechanisms for generating abiotic CH4 on terrestrial planets, we conclude that observations of atmospheric CH4 with CO2 are difficult to explain without the presence of biology when the CH4 abundance implies a surface flux comparable to modern Earth’s biological CH4 flux. A small or negligible CO abundance strengthens the CH4+CO2 biosignature because life readily consumes atmospheric CO, while reducing volcanic gases likely cause CO to build up in a planet’s atmosphere. Furthermore, the difficulty of volcanically generated CH4-rich atmospheres suitable for an origin of life may favor alternatives such as impact-induced reducing atmospheres.
Checklist of vascular plants of Klang Gates Quartz Ridge, Malaysia, a 14-km long quartz dyke
Authors: Kiew Ruth , Chung-Lu Lim
Published: October 2020

The Klang Gates Quartz Ridge (KGQR) is proposed for protection as National Heritage and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its spectacular size, exceptional beauty and significant biodiversity. The checklist of vascular plants documents 314 species that comprise a unique combination that grows on lowland quartz and that is distinct from the surrounding lowland equatorial rain forest by the absence of orchids, palms, gingers and tree canopy families. The Rubiaceae, Gramineae, Moraceae, Apocynaceae, Melastomataceae and Polypodiaceae are the most speciose families. The summit vegetation at 200–400 m elevation is dominated by Baeckea frutescens (Myrtaceae) and Rhodoleia championii (Hamamelidaceae) and shows similarities to the plant community on rocky mountain peaks above 1500 m. About 11% of its species are endemic in Peninsular Malaysia and four are endemic to KGQR: Aleisanthia rupestris (Rubiaceae), Codonoboea primulina (Gesneriaceae), Spermacoce pilulifera (Rubiaceae), and Ilex praetermissa (Aquifoliaceae). All four are provisionally assessed as Critically Endangered. Two, Eulalia milsumi (Gramineae) and Sonerila prostrata (Melastomataceae), are endemic to KGQR and a few neighbouring smaller quartz dykes. They are assessed as Endangered. The KGQR is a fragile habitat and conservation management is urgently required to halt the spread of the aggressive alien grass, Pennisetum polystachion and to prevent further habitat degradation from visitors. Based on KGQR being a threatened habitat, its biodiverse flora, and endangered species, it qualifies as an Important Plant Area.

Le rapport à la vérité dans une perspective transactionnelle participative : l’expérience contre la production de l’ignorance
Authors: Charmillot Maryvonne
Published: October 2020

Et si la pensée moderne, en produisant de nouvelles connaissances, devenait à certains égards plus ignorante ? L’objectif de l’article est de questionner ce paradoxe en partant du postulat selon lequel l’impératif de neutralité, en excluant l’expérience vécue des chercheurs et des chercheuses dans la recherche de la vérité, reproduit des savoirs hégémoniques et empêche les actrices sociales et les acteurs sociaux de penser par eux-mêmes et elles-mêmes. Ce questionnement est travaillé à travers l’examen de la production de l’ignorance. Il s’agit de saisir comment le cadre conventionnel scientifique dominant participe à la fabrication de l’ignorance. En contre-point aux critiques formulées à l’égard de l’hégémonisme épistémologique occidental, l’article présente des alternatives qui incarnent une manière de produire de la connaissance à partir des interactions sociales, des groupes d’appartenance ou des ancrages institutionnels : « épistémologie sociale », « épistémologie de la résistance », « épistémologies libératrices », « épistémologies du Sud », « épistémologie du lien ».

Nous évoquerons une série d’exemples dans lesquels la connaissance historique est soumise à des pressions, manipulations ou déformations dans l’espace public. Les biais sociaux qui les provoquent sont nombreux, notamment dans le domaine de la mémoire. En même temps, la notion de vérité dans une science sociale, si elle est nécessaire, demeure complexe, doit rester ouverte et ne pas mener à des injonctions prescriptives. Dans une seconde partie, ces questions seront analysées à partie d’observations en classe d’histoire.
Le rapport à la vérité dans l’enseignement. Deux cas spécifiques : histoire et littérature
Authors: Muller Alain , Opériol Valérie , Védrines Bruno
Published: October 2020

Deux risques majeurs guettent la question de la vérité dans un enseignement qui porte des valeurs démocratiques : le relativisme et le dogmatisme. Pour les éviter, notre réflexion essaie de montrer comment le concept de pluralisme des vérités peut ouvrir des perspectives didactiques à la fois fructueuses et rigoureuses. Pour cela nous avons choisi de nous pencher plus spécifiquement sur deux disciplines : l’histoire et le français dans sa dimension d’enseignement de la littérature ; toutes deux, mais de manière différente, ne peuvent se dispenser d’une réflexion sur la relation des connaissances qu’elles dispensent avec la vérité.
Du rapport à l’erreur et à la vérité dans l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’improvisation au clavier : le cas de la séance initiale d’une master class
Authors: Grivet Bonzon Catherine
Published: October 2020

Cette contribution s’intéresse à la prise en compte des erreurs des élèves dans l’enseignement de l’improvisation idiomatique au vibraphone. Par l’analyse didactique d’une séquence d’enseignement, nous nous demanderons si la transmission des compétences et savoirs musicaux spécifiques à cette pratique sociale de référence induit un rapport à l’erreur particulier de la part des acteurs dans leur relation, entre autres, à la « vérité de l’œuvre ».
Stone Soup: A Metaphor to Create an Inclusive Learning Environment Within Nursing Education
Authors: Woodley Lisa
Published: October 2020

Background:

This article describes the design of an inclusive learning environment for undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric nursing course.

Method:

A metaphor of Stone Soup and visual cues representing the collective class diversity was introduced in week one, along with a voiced faculty commitment to learn individual student names. These strategies were incorporated throughout the semester.

Results:

Student feedback gathered through an anonymous online survey near the end of the semester was positive. Students reported an enhanced understanding of culturally responsive nursing care, a strong sense of belonging in the class, and placed a high value on their own as well as their classmates' input into class discussions.

Conclusion:

This educational innovation shows promise in yielding high classroom participation, a sense of belonging across diverse groups of students, rich classroom discussions, and heightened student awareness and understanding of culturally responsive nursing care.

Escape Tasks: An Innovative Approach in Nursing Education
Authors: Haley Brandy , Palmer Jamie
Published: October 2020

Background:

Innovative teaching strategies that incorporate active learning could be beneficial to the nursing student's performance not only in the classroom but also in the clinical setting. The article provides implementation steps for integrating escape room tasks into a baccalaureate nursing program.

Method:

Thirteen escape room tasks were developed by faculty and a dean to facilitate Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies. The tasks challenged seven senior students to think critically outside of the normal classroom and clinical setting.

Results:

Students reported the tasks empowered them to think critically, collaborate, and ultimately enhanced their knowledge. They enjoyed the group work and hands-on challenges.

Conclusion:

Escape room tasks can be active learning teaching strategies that facilitate learning QSEN competencies. Nurse educators can easily implement the 13 escape room tasks outlined in this article. The positive outcome of this activity revealed future opportunities for nurse educators to design easy escape room tasks centered around curriculum learning objectives.

Recognizing the Risk Factors, Signs, and Symptoms of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking in Mental Health Clinical Practice
Authors: Yaklin Sandra , Rolin Donna
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the current article is to educate psychiatric providers on domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST). Psychiatric providers (e.g., psychiatric–mental health nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, physician assistants, therapists, case managers) interact with victims of sex trafficking but may fail to recognize the signs of victimization and the risk factors associated with becoming a victim of DMST. This educational article offers an overview of the definitions of sex trafficking, and the risk factors, prevalence, and health consequences of DMST. It also summarizes what is known about how those at-risk for DMST and DMST victims interact with the mental health care system. Mental health professionals provide a crucial point of contact with these populations and must strive to prevent, identify, and respond to DMST and at-risk youths. [

Factors Influencing Suicidal Ideation Among Adolescents: The Serial Mediating Effect of Depression and Sleep Quality on Attitude Toward Mental Health Services
Authors: Yi Su Jeong , Jeong Yoo Mi
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the current study was to examine the serial mediating effect of sleep quality and depression on the relationship between attitude toward mental health services and suicidal ideation among adolescents attending middle and high school in Daejeon City, South Korea. A total of 151 of 200 surveys were used for serial multiple mediation analysis. Suicidal ideation was positively associated with depression (
r
= 0.706,
p
< 0.001) and sleep quality (
r
= 0.173,
p
= 0.034), and negatively associated with age (
r
= −0.19,
p
= 0.02). Suicidal ideation was positively influenced by attitude toward mental health services (β = 0.261,
p
= 0.039), which was also influenced by depression (β = 2.805,
p
< 0.001). Depression was shown to have a significant mediating effect on the relationship of attitude toward mental health services for suicidal ideation (indirect effect = −0.828); however, sleep quality did not have an effect. Regular assessment of and interventions for depression are a priority for overall prevention of adolescent suicide. [

Ecological Predictors of Recovery-Oriented Practices Among Psychiatric Nurses in South Korea
Authors: Baek Suyon
Published: October 2020

Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the current study aimed to investigate ecological predictors of recovery-oriented practices among 230 psychiatric nurses in South Korea. Intrapersonal predictors associated with recovery-oriented practice were educational level, type of workplace, and attitudes regarding recovery. Extent of nursing practice environment recognized by nurses at the organizational level was also significant. Recovery-oriented practices were associated with intrapersonal and organizational factors. Therefore, it is necessary to provide multi-level considerations to improve recovery-oriented practices among psychiatric nurses. [

Authors: Gloerfeld Christina , Wrede Silke , De Witt Claudia , Wang Xia
Published: October 2020

Artificial intelligence is one of the disruptive technologies, that drives change in our society and economy, but also in our educational system. Educational data mining, machine learning and expert systems are increasingly being used to support study and teaching. This article takes an educational science perspective to present an approach, how to use a recommendation system for students to support inquiry-based learning and self-directed learning. Along the course of the semester various AI-based applications like automatic assessments, interest visualizations or a learning strategy finder assist in the different phases of the semester. When planning and designing this recommendation systems, the most important premise is to foster self-determination of the students.
Chercher et ne pas trouver l’erreur : L’emploi du temps de Michel Butor (1956) sous la loupe de Pierre Bayard
Authors: Bérard Cassie
Published: October 2020

Inspiré par la démarche créative et critique de Pierre Bayard, l’article explore la notion d’erreur en littérature en interrogeant la responsabilité de l’auteur, du lecteur, du personnage, ainsi que l’influence de la voix narrative dans les textes à saveur policière. L’analyse de L’emploi du temps de Michel Butor permet, par ailleurs, d’éprouver la méthode d’enquête de Bayard en faisant ressortir les effets de l’indécidabilité textuelle et les problèmes d’autorité.
« Les plus belles sont vicieuses » : erreur et fausseté dans La Manière de bien penser dans les ouvrages d’esprit du Père Bouhours (1687)
Authors: Longuet Raphaëlle
Published: October 2020

Dans un entretien didactique visant à former le goût du lecteur à travers un florilège critique des erreurs du discours, le Père Bouhours affirme que la vérité doit constituer la qualité première de la pensée : elle devient ainsi paradoxalement le souci principal de tout jugement de goût, et conduit l’auteur à bannir du discours toutes les figures qui, loin de le perfectionner, le dénaturent.
DINÂMICA AGRÁRIA E MOVIMENTOS SOCIOTERRITORIAIS NO VALE DO ARAGUAIA - MICRORREGIÃO DE CANARANA - MATO GROSSO - BRASIL
Authors: Gouveia Nagila Kariny Oliveira , Rossetto Onélia Carmem
Published: October 2020

O Vale do Araguaia, Mesorregião Nordeste de Mato Grosso, se caracteriza por múltiplas transformações econômicas e sociais resultantes da monocultura de grãos e da expansão do agronegócio. Correlativamente vem ocorrendo a territorialização das atividades econômicas modernas, que se defrontam com um elevado número de áreas ocupadas por indígenas e agricultores familiares assentados pelo Programa Nacional de Reforma Agrária – PNRA, especificamente na Microrregião de Canarana, onde se localizam os municípios de Água Boa, Querência e Santo Antônio do Leste, lócus da presente pesquisa. Diante do cenário apresentado, os objetivos deste trabalho residem na identificação da distribuição espacial dos assentamentos e das terras indígenas e no registro das ações dos movimentos socioterritoriais, elucidando as diferentes conflitualidades existentes entre territórios indígenas, assentamentos da reforma agrária e o agronegócio no período entre 2000-2016. Os procedimentos metodológicos estiveram centrados na pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados em fontes secundárias. Concluiu-se que no Vale do Araguaia o avanço do agronegócio e os resultados de tal processo revelam os conflitos entre os grupos pesquisados, nos quais, em alguns momentos, os próprios expropriados das suas terras lutam entre si, sem perceber a construção ideológica a favor da concentração da estrutura fundiária que permeia tais atos. De forma concomitante, processos de resiliência são registrados, a exemplo das manifestações que envolvem os grupos indígenas e os agricultores familiares, na esperança de sua permanência na terra e da melhoria de sua qualidade de vida.
Proteção de civis na operação de paz da ONU no Sudão do Sul: o emprego conjunto de militares e policiais
Authors: Aguilar Sergio Luiz Cruz , De Ávila Joel Henrique Fonseca
Published: October 2020

A guerra civil iniciada no final de 2013 no Sudão do Sul causou, pela primeira vez na história das Nações Unidas, um afluxo gigantesco de deslocados internos para o interior de bases da Missão das Nações Unidas no Sudão do Sul (UNMISS), em busca de proteção. Assim, foram criados os Protection of Civilian Sites (POC Sites). Com a chegada de dezenas de milhares de pessoas em poucas semanas, houve um enorme crescimento nas demandas humanitárias e de segurança. Para prover a necessária proteção, foi necessário o trabalho conjunto de militares, policiais e civis da UNMISS, que será apresentado nesse trabalho
