Time for a “Plan B” in Peritoneal Metastatic Disease
Authors: Tripodo Claudio
Published: January 2019

Peritoneal involvement in cancer is the harbinger of a particularly unfavorable prognosis. The peritoneal cavity microenvironment is skewed toward immunoregulatory conditions promoted by macrophage populations and innate-like B-1 B cells, which provide immune privilege to malignant cell foci. In this issue of Cancer Research, Haro and colleagues demonstrate that triggering innate IgM-mediated B-1a immune responses via pathogen- or danger-associated molecular pattern recognition exerts antitumor effects on peritoneal metastases by inducing classical complement cascade activation. Exploitation of innate B-1 humoral responses and noncellular immunity is a promising strategy to counter the “castling” of metastatic tumor cells in the peritoneal immunoprivileged site.

Translating Science into Survival: Report on the Fourth International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference
Authors: Diken Mustafa , Ravoori Srivani , Brodsky Arthur N.
Published: January 2019

On September 30 to October 3, 2018, in New York City, the Fourth International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference (CICON) was hosted jointly by the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT), the European Academy of Tumor Immunology, and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). For the fourth straight year, more than 1,400 people attended the 4-day event, which covered the latest advances in cancer immunology and immunotherapy. This year's meeting also coincided with the announcement that the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine would be awarded to one of CICON's attendees, James P. Allison.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Descriptive Epidemiology: The Origin of Geographic Difference
Authors: Logroscino Giancarlo , Piccininni Marco
Published: January 2019

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) epidemiology has rapidly developed in the last 30 years alongside the evolving changes in concepts in the field of clinical ALS and also due to the recent proposals of new classification system for motor neuron diseases. Many of these changes in the clinical scenario have been determined through the results of ALS population-based studies conducted in the last 20 years primarily in Europe. All the evidences converge to show that ALS risk is different across continents and ethnicities. In a European registry consortium named EURALS, ALS incident cases were drawn from a source population comprising almost 24 million people across Europe (ALS cases: 1028) and the estimated incidence was 2.2 per 100,000 person-years (py) for the general population. In contrast, other population-based studies have measured the lowest incidence in East Asia to be 0.89 per 100,000 py and in South Asia to be 0.79 per 100,000 py. A large part of Africa, Latin America and Asia does not have any population-based studies. The origin of geographic difference in ALS incidence is a matter of debate. Probably, this is partly due to genes (C9ORF72) and partly due to environmental risk factors. The rapid disappearance of ALS Foci in Guam, Kii, and West Guinea underline the importance of changes in lifestyle and environmental factors. The Global Burden of Disease, a project aiming to describe the burden of all diseases and injuries across all the countries of the world with a standardized protocol, has collected heterogeneous sources of data to estimate the burden of motor neuron diseases. The demographic changes related to increased expectation of life and the growth of the world population indicate that the load of motor neuron disease is rapidly moving toward 400 thousand prevalent cases. The burden is expected to shift toward Asia and Africa in the next decades for the rapid increase of expectation of life of countries with high demographic impact.

Entre o Oriente e o Ocidente: a problemática do duplo no romance Les Désorientés, de Amin Maalouf
Authors: Staudt Sheila Katiane
Published: January 2019

Comparado a um Ulisses moderno, nosso herói Adam sofre os percalços de ser estrangeiro e exilado na capital francesa, além de regressar à sua terra natal – Líbano – e confrontar-se com os fantasmas do passado. O romance Les désorientés, do escritor francês Amin Maalouf, publicado em 2012, apresenta, desde o seu título, a falta de orientação, a necessidade de um norte por parte das personagens. A escrita dupla do texto vai ao encontro das personagens que orbitam nosso protagonista, por vezes, reflexos invertidos de si mesmas. Buscar os rastros do duplo na trajetória de nosso narrador-personagem Adam é o que pretendemos nesse trabalho, bem como entender os diversos (re)encontros vividos por ele ao longo da travessia. Autoconhecimento, aprendizagem, alteridade são apenas algumas das experiências por que passa nosso herói que migra do Oriente ao Ocidente (e vice-versa) tentando, quiçá, encontrar a si mesmo.
Do ‘sonho americano’ ao ‘sonho europeu’: o romance de emigração Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você (2009), de Luiz Ruffato
Authors: Dolle Verena
Published: January 2019

Luiz Ruffato, nascido em 1961, é considerado um dos mais interessantes e multifacetados escritores brasileiros da atualidade, das primeiras décadas do século XXI. Com ampla receção internacional, começou por ganhar visibilidade no espaço de língua alemã no ano de 2013, quando participou na Feira do Livro de Frankfurt, que teve o Brasil como país homenageado, e aí proferiu o discurso de abertura, controverso e bastante discutido, ou mais tarde, em 2014, quando publicou um artigo na revista Spiegel, pouco antes do início do campeonato mundial de futebol.
Sistema de dobramentos Piancó-Alto Brígida (PE-PB-CE), Regionalização geotectônica e geocronologia
Authors: Neves Benjamim Bley de Brito , Van Schmus William Randall , Campos Neto Mario Da Costa
Published: January 2019

O Sistema de Dobramentos Piancó-Alto Brígida (SPAB) situa-se na porção central a centro-ocidental da Zona Transversal, da Província Borborema, nos Estados da Paraíba e do Pernambuco e em parte do Estado do Ceará. Trata-se do produto de um desenvolvimento orogenético na passagem Criogeniano-Ediacarano (630–580 Ma, acresção seguida de colisão), levando à inversão vigorosa de uma pretérita bacia de sedimentação marinha costeira. O limite ao norte é marcado pelo Lineamento de Patos e o ao sul é balizado pelo Lineamento Pernambuco. O contexto paleogeográfico (e litoestratigráfico) original é de reconstituição difícil devido aos eventos de deformação (pelo menos três fases) e metamorfismo, lateralmente variável de muito baixo, baixo a médio graus, seguidos de uma importante fase de tectônica extrusional tardia. O SPAB se encontra hoje geológico-geograficamente ramificado em diferentes faixas, separadas por alguns basement inliers, paleoproterozoicos/“terrenos”, expressivos em área e importantes partícipes dos eventos de deformação. Os principais litotipos presentes no SPAB se enquadram nas típicas assembleias quartzito-pelito-calcário (QPC) com a característica primordial da grande ritmicidade. Os gradientes metamórficos são de muito baixo, baixo e médio graus (nesse último caso, para o sul, faixa do interior de Pernambuco, “Supergrupo Salgueiro”). Nas zonas proximais dos contatos com o embasamento, consoante a linhas de falhas importantes, são registrados brechas e conglomerados polimícticos, arenitos imaturos, metagrauvacas e metacórseos (Formação Olhos d’Água). Embora haja várias contribuições, de diversas fontes, ao longo dos últimos 50 anos, em diferentes tempos e propósitos, uma discriminação da litoestratigráfica satisfatória ainda não foi possível. De sorte que todos os termos litoestratigráficos devem ser encarados como informais e provisórios. Múltiplos trabalhos de reconhecimento em geocronologia foram realizados aleatoriamente nesse sistema nas
Histórias em quadrinhos: a imagem diante do leitor e a apreensão do significado

Unspoken hints e memória como montagem em novelas gráficas: O caso d'A travessia
Authors: Barossi Luana
Published: January 2019

O cineasta Sergei Eisenstein desenvolve os conceitos de montagem e de unspoken hints em sua coletânea de textos “Laocöon”, conceitos esses que vão além do campo cinematográfico. A teoria de Eisenstein potencializa a leitura de obras literárias, em seu sentido amplo, mas parece particularmente significativa quando tratamos de obras com suporte ou recurso gráfico para a composição diegética, como as histórias em quadrinhos e, especialmente, as novelas gráficas. O presente artigo dispõe dessa teoria para uma proposta de leitura de novelas gráficas, tratando, mais especificamente, da obra “A Travessia”, de Camila Torrano.

A partir da investigação da novela O desejo de Kianda (1995), de Pepetela, o artigo versará sobre os enfrentamentos e as interpenetrações entre registros culturais distintos que costuram a sociedade angolana. Pressupõe-se que a articulação de uma pluralidade de vozes e vontades dentro de um mesmo contexto, problematizando-o, seja um dos elementos fulcrais da produção da literatura pós-colonial.
A banalidade do mal na obra de Lília Momplé
Authors: Salgado Maria Teresa
Published: January 2019

Leitura dos contos da obra Ninguém matou Suhura, da escritora moçambicana Lília Momplé, a partir do conceito de banalidade do mal, de Hannah Arendt. Procuramos mostrar de que forma o conceito pode ser empregado para entendermos a natureza do mal em algumas situações do colonialismo. Hanna Arendt nos ofereceu um caminho para refletir sobre a capacidade/incapacidade do homem de distinguir o mal do bem e desenvolveu reflexões que nos permitem compreender aspectos inusitados da relação entre os sistemas totalitários e o mal.  Tentaremos apontar de que forma os contos de Lília Momplé, na obra Ninguém matou Suhura, nos oferecem uma via de leitura próxima das ideias desenvolvidas por Arendt sobre "a banalidade do mal".
Aspectos da Forma Narrativa em “Estória do ladrão e do papagaio”, de Luandino Vieira
Authors: Daie Fábio Salem
Published: January 2019

O presente artigo analisa aspectos do conto “Estória do ladrão e do papagaio”, de Luandino Vieira, com foco em dois eixos centrais: o primeiro diz respeito à presença da estrutura colonial portuguesa na composição de sua própria estrutura textual; o segundo oferece justamente o vetor oposto, revelando-se em elementos que tensionam os limites sociais e ideológicos colocados pelo imperialismo. O intuito é estabelecer como ambas as dimensões contribuem para a qualidade estética da narrativa, na qual uma das características mais importantes é a coesão interna.

Языковая ситуация межвоенного периода среди славянских меньшинств в Латгалии (по нарративам информантов)
Authors: Пилипенко [Pilipenko] Глеб [Gleb]
Published: January 2019

The language situation of the Slavic minorities in Latgale in the interwar period (according to the narratives of the informants)This article presents the language situation of the Slavic minorities (Russians, Poles and Belarusians) in Latgale in the 1920s and 1930s in individual and collective memory. As perceived by the informants, the interwar period is associated with the dominance of the Latvian language in the public sphere (the army, public service, education, official place names). In their view, military service and education at Latvian schools contributed to the development of Latvian language competence among national minorities. On the other hand, the 1920s and 1930s were also a period when Poles and Belarusians had access to education with their native language as the language of instruction. Although the accounts under consideration reflect a collective perception of the period and reveal its atmosphere, each of them is unique as it includes particular details and conveys feelings of individual informants (participants in the events and their descendants). The informants developed a stereotypical perception of the period, according to which there was a direct link between the level of command of the Latvian language and participation in certain spheres of public activity. Sytuacja językowa mniejszości słowiańskich w Łatgalii w okresie międzywojennym (w narracjach respondentów)Artykuł przedstawia sytuację językową mniejszości słowiańskich (Rosjan, Polaków i Białorusinów) w Łatgalii w okresie międzywojennym w pamięci indywidualnej i zbiorowej. W odczuciu respondentów lata 20. i 30. XX wieku były okresem dominacji języka łotewskiego w sferze publicznej (wojsku, administracji, oświacie, oficjalnym nazewnictwie). Ich zdaniem, służba wojskowa i nauka w łotewskich szkołach przyczyniały się do wzrostu stopnia znajomości języka łotewskiego wśrod mniejszości narodowych. Z drugiej zaś strony, w tym samym okresie Polacy i Białorusini mieli dostęp do edukacji w języku ojczystym. Pomimo tego, że omawiane narracje oddają zbiorowe opinie na temat lat międzywojennych i ich atmosferę, każda z nich jest jedyna w swoim rodzaju, zawiera bowiem konkretne szczegóły przywoływane przez respondentów (uczestników wydarzeń lub ich potomków) i ich osobiste odczucia. Badane osoby wyrobiły sobie stereotypowy obraz omawianego okresu, zgodnie z którym zachodził bezpośredni związek pomiędzy stopniem znajomości języka łotewskiego a uczestnictwem w określonych sferach życia publicznego.
Pamięć w słowach – o nieadekwatności pojęć (przypadek czesko-polsko-niemiecki)
Authors: Ćwiek-Rogalska Karolina
Published: January 2019

Memory in words: On the inadequacy of terms (A Czech-Polish-German example)This article is devoted to the inadequacy of the Polish and Czech terminology related to the displacement of German-speaking communities after 1945. Discussing the example of the terms “Sudety” and “pohraničí” (Borderlands), the author identifies the inadequacy of various equivalents of these concepts in Polish secondary literature. The adopted methodology makes it possible to demonstrate a particular historical entanglement of the term “Sudety” and its incompatibility with metadiscourse (the language of research). The terminological analysis is the starting point for describing the memory of the historical situation in the Czech pohraničí after 1945. The study analyses material collected during interviews with the residents of pohraničí, including their own reflections on terminological issues. Pamięć w słowach – o nieadekwatności pojęć (przypadek czesko-polsko-niemiecki)Artykuł poświęcony jest nieadekwatności terminologii dotyczącej wysiedleń społeczności niemieckojęzycznych po roku 1945 w językach polskim i czeskim. Autorka na przykładzie pojęć „Sudety” i „pohraničí” wskazuje na nieadekwatność różnych istniejących w polskiej literaturze przedmiotu ekwiwalentów tych pojęć. Przyjęta przez autorkę metodologia pozwala na wykazanie szczególnego uwikłania historycznego terminu „Sudety” i jego nieprzystawalność do metadyskursu, jakim jest język badawczy. Analiza terminologiczna stanowi punkt wyjścia do opisu pamięci o sytuacji historycznej na czeskim pohraničí po 1945 roku. Materiał do analiz stanowią wywiady z mieszkańcami pohraničí i znajdujące się w nich prowadzone przez samych rozmówców refleksje terminologiczne.
Hybrid identities in the era of ethno-nationalism: The case of the "krajowcy" in Lithuania
Authors: Staliūnas Darius
Published: January 2019

Hybrid identities in the era of ethno-nationalism: The case of the krajowcy in LithuaniaThis article deals with the identification of the so-called krajowcy – a relatively small group of Polish-speaking activists in Lithuania and Belarus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century who promoted an idea of the re-establishement of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This article claims that the krajowcy democrats (Michał Römer, Tadeusz Wróblewski, Konstancja Skirmuntt and others) were not nationally indifferent. On the contrary, they promoted a clearly formulated national identity ideology, different to the dominant (ethno-linguistic) one. First of all, the krajowcy were nationalists in a civic sense: they were Lithuanians, citizens of Lithuania within its historical boundaries. In addition, some of them, for example Wróblewski, suggested strengthening ethno-linguistic nationalism as well, otherwise his national personal autonomy concept would simply not have worked. Others, such as Konstancja Skirmuntt, Juozapas Albinas Herbačiauskas and Michał Römer, expressed a hybrid identification with several national cultures, and sometimes their self-identification was even reminiscent of identity ideologies that had dominated in earlier historical periods. Tożsamości hybrydowe w erze etnonacjonalizmu – „krajowcy” na LitwieArtykuł jest poświęcony identyfikacji tak zwanych krajowców, stosunkowo nielicznej grupy polskojęzycznych aktywistów działających na Litwie i Białorusi pod koniec XIX i na początku XX wieku, promujących ideę odtworzenia Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Artykuł wykazuje, że reprezentanci demokratycznego skrzydła tego ruchu (Michał Römer, Tadeusz Wróblewski, Konstancja Skirmuntt i inni) nie byli narodowo obojętni. Wręcz przeciwnie, promowali jasno sformułowaną ideologię tożsamości, odmienną od dominującej wówczas narracji etnolingwistycznej. Byli przede wszystkim narodowcami w sensie obywatelskim – Litwinami, obywatelami Litwy w jej historycznych granicach. Co więcej, niektórzy z nich, na przykład T. Wróblewski, postulowali także wzmocnienie nacjonalizmu etnolingwistycznego, w przeciwnym bowiem razie proponowana koncepcja autonomii osobistej nie miałaby szans na zaistnienie. Inni działacze, tacy jak Konstancja Skirmuntt, Juozapas Albinas Herbačiauskas (Józef Albin Herbaczewski) i Michał Römer, identyfikowali się z wieloma kulturami narodowymi, a ich samoidentyfikacja przywodzi czasem na myśl ideologie tożsamości, dominujące we wcześniejszych epokach historycznych.

Forms of dialogue between memory and history in the Lithuanian humanities after 1990: On the use of oral historyThis article is devoted to the tradition of research using the method of oral history which has developed in the Lithuanian humanities since the country’s independence. It attempts to explain how Lithuanian scholars have employed the method and what challenges they face using it; what research problems they have resolved as a result and what they still hope to achieve in the near future; what studies based on the method of oral history should be considered the most important and display the highest potential in the context of developments in the Lithuanian humanities. The first part of the article discusses various challenges faced by Lithuanian scholars who rely on oral history as their main research tool. In the second part the focus is on the presentation of particular cases of successful studies employing the interview method; it also shows how scholars working on these projects addressed different problems which they encountered. Formy dialogu pamięci i historii w humanistyce litewskiej po roku 1990 (wykorzystanie metody oral history)Przedmiotem artykułu jest ukształtowana w litewskiej humanistyce niepodległej Republiki Litewskiej tradycja badań z wykorzystaniem metody historii mówionej (ang. oral history). Podczas pisania tego artykułu poszukiwano odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: W jaki sposób na przełomie XX i XXI wieku litewscy przedstawiciele nauk humanistycznych korzystają z metody badawczej oral history oraz wobec jakich wyzwań stają? Jakie zagadnienia badawcze były, są i będą rozwiązane w najbliższej przyszłości dzięki wykorzystaniu tej metody? Jakie teksty wykorzystujące metodę oral history należy uznać za najważniejsze i o największym potencjale w kontekście procesów zachodzących w litewskiej humanistyce? Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. W pierwszej omówiono różnego rodzaju wyzwania, przed którymi stają badacze litewscy wykorzystujący oral history jako główne narzędzie badawcze. W drugiej części tekstu skupiono się na prezentacji i omówieniu konkretnych przykładów zakończonych sukcesem badań z wykorzystaniem metody wywiadu oraz sposobów rozwiązywania pojawiających się problemów.
Oral history in Belarus: Present state and development trends
Authors: Smalianchuk Aliaksandr
Published: January 2019

Oral history in Belarus: Present state and development trendsThe oral history in Belarus has become an important line of enquiry in the humanities and a significant field of interdisciplinary dialogue. It also functions as an important research practice. Nevertheless, under the conditions of the current Belarusian historical policy, imbued with Soviet ideological dogmas, there is no prospect of transforming it into an academic discipline. At present, prospects for the development of oral history in Belarus are connected with the activity of scholarly and community NGOs. The most important of them is an online project called The Belarusian Archives of Oral History, active since 2011. Historia mówiona na Białorusi: aktualny stan i tendencje rozwojoweObecnie historia mówiona na Białorusi stała się ważnym kierunkiem badań naukowych w dziedzinie nauk humanistycznych oraz obszarem dialogu interdyscyplinarnego. Funkcjonuje też jako ważna praktyka humanistyczna. Jednak w sytuacji obecnej polityki historycznej, wciąż przepełnionej dogmatami ideologii sowieckiej, nie ma szans na jej przekształcenie w dyscyplinę akademicką. Perspektywy rozwojowe historii mówionej na Białorusi związane są z działalnością naukowych i społecznych organizacji pozarządowych, wśród których najważniejszy jest projekt online „Białoruskie Archiwum Historii Mówionej”, realizowany od 2011 roku.

Using the Extended Case Method to Expand the Scope of Policy Research: An Examination of the Educational Outcomes of a College Preparation Program for Low-Income, Racially Minoritized Students
Authors: Kimball Ezekiel
Published: January 2019

This article describes how the extended case method, a tool of critical qualitative inquiry rooted in ethnography, can be used to inform policy research. Using examples drawn from a yearlong ethnographic study of a college preparation program, it demonstrates the utility of the extended case method for policy research through a discussion of literature on educational policy and qualitative research methods. It then uses study findings to show how the extended case method can address challenges related to context and meaning in policy evaluation focused on causal relationships. Implications for future qualitative policy work are also offered.
Business Model Responses to Digital Piracy
Authors: Aversa Paolo , Hervas-Drane Andres , Evenou Morgane
Published: January 2019

Digital piracy challenges firms by reducing revenues and shifting consumption habits. Recently, some firms have successfully leveraged business models against piracy, but the understanding about this phenomenon still lacks depth and structure. This study examines the characteristics of digital piracy in some of the most affected industries; presents comparative case studies of two iconic firms, Spotify and Netflix; and analyzes their digital business model responses. This article then considers a generic digital content distributor and explains how business model responses contribute to generating and capturing value. Theoretical and practical implications for technological innovation, firm diversification, and network competition are also discussed.
The Relationship Between Trust and Use Choice in Human-Robot Interaction
Authors: Sanders Tracy , Kaplan Alexandra , Koch Ryan , Schwartz Michael , Hancock P. A.
Published: January 2019

Objective:

To understand the influence of trust on use choice in human-robot interaction via experimental investigation.

Background:

The general assumption that trusting a robot leads to using that robot has been previously identified, often by asking participants to choose between manually completing a task or using an automated aid. Our work further evaluates the relationship between trust and use choice and examines factors impacting choice.

Method:

An experiment was conducted wherein participants rated a robot on a trust scale, then made decisions about whether to use that robotic agent or a human agent to complete a task. Participants provided explicit reasoning for their choices.

Results:

While we found statistical support for the “trust leads to use” relationship, qualitative results indicate other factors are important as well.

Conclusion:

Results indicated that while trust leads to use, use is also heavily influenced by the specific task at hand. Users more often chose a robot for a dangerous task where loss of life is likely, citing safety as their primary concern. Conversely, users chose humans for the mundane warehouse task, mainly citing financial reasons, specifically fear of job and income loss for the human worker.

Application:

Understanding the factors driving use choice is key to appropriate interaction in the field of human-robot teaming.
The Women’s Equality Party: Emergence, Organisation and Challenges
Authors: Evans Elizabeth , Kenny Meryl
Published: January 2019

Women’s political parties are designed to increase women’s representation in politics. More than 30 have been established in Europe since 1987, yet there has been little systematic analysis of why and when they emerge, how they organise and what challenges they face. We argue that the study of women’s parties can offer insights into questions concerning inter and intra-party power relations and the relationship between social movements and political parties, while also contributing to broader debates around the ‘big questions’ of representation, gender (in)equality, and the dynamics of political inclusion and exclusion. This article explores these issues through a case study analysis of the UK’s Women’s Equality Party. Drawing upon original empirical research undertaken with party activists and officials, we argue that the party’s impact has been constrained by wider organisational logics and an unequal party system, while it has so far adhered to traditional (male-dominated) patterns of party organisation.
Selecting Ministers in Times of Crisis: A Historical Analysis of the Role of Intra-Party Politics and Union Background in Swedish Cabinet Appointments 1917–2014
Authors: Davidsson Johan Bo , Bäck Hanna
Published: January 2019

In this article, we connect intra-party politics to macro events by asking what types of ministers are selected in times of fiscal crisis. Drawing on the previous literature we present two alternative hypotheses about the role of the union background in cabinet selection: (1) ministers with union background are less likely to be appointed during crises, since they are likely to oppose necessary spending cuts and (2) ministers with union background are more likely to be appointed during crises, since there is a need to appease union factions within the party. We evaluate these hypotheses using a unique historical dataset on the background of ministers in Sweden between 1917 and 2014. Overall, we find strong support for the hypothesis that fiscal crises increase the likelihood that ministers will have a union background, suggesting that ministers are appointed to appease the union faction within the party in times of fiscal crisis.
Mismatch between lower performance and higher trust in the civil service: Can culture provide an explanation?
Authors: Baniamin Hasan Muhammad , Jamil Ishtiaq , Askvik Steinar
Published: January 2019

The existing literature on institutional trust leads us to expect that institutional trust is determined by institutional performance. In the context of three South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka), we find the opposite – that despite poor performance of the civil service, there is high institutional trust. In this study we examine whether such mismatch can be explained by an authoritarian cultural orientation, which generates unquestioning obedience and loyalty and may contribute to inflated institutional trust in the civil service of these countries.
Why victimology should focus on all victims, including all missing and disappeared persons
Authors: Sarkin Jeremy
Published: January 2019

This article examines issues concerning the scope and role of victimology specifically as far as they relate to missing and disappeared persons. It argues that victimology ought to have a greater effect on the world by dealing with more victims, and that it should not be a solely academic discipline. It is contended that victimology should confront the real issues that arise for the victims after the crimes they suffer, and thus it needs to play a far more pragmatic, practical role. It is reasoned that broadening the study of who victims are, how they become victims and how their fate and suffering could have been avoided will also have a meaningful effect. This is also true regarding what can be done to reduce the numbers of (potential) victims. The article specifically calls on victimology to deal with victims who have gone missing. It argues that even amongst victimologists studying the widest variety of affected victims, there is almost no focus on the missing. The article goes into detail about who the missing are, and analyses the circumstances surrounding missing persons, whether as a result of war, human rights abuses such as enforced disappearances, or disasters, organized violence, migration and many more. The article also touches upon the processes of finding missing persons and considers their legal, technical and societal implications.
Animating capital: Work, commodities, circulation
Authors: Barua Maan
Published: January 2019

Relations between nature and capital have been a longstanding concern in the social sciences. Going beyond antinomies of posthumanist and political economic enquiry, this paper advances a set of relational analytics for incorporating liveliness into critical analyses of capital. Firstly, developing the concept of animal work, it shows how metabolic, ecological and affective labour become a productive economic force. Secondly, animating the commodity, it demonstrates how lively forces influence commodification and exchange, enabling or hindering accumulation. Thirdly, tracking animal circulation, it examines the logics of rendition that transform nonhuman life into capital. In conclusion, the paper develops a relational grammar for anatomizing the nature-capital dynamic, one that reorients the economic to be co-constituted by the ecological from the outset.
Modeling the Maximum Lateral Extent of Encroachment and Probability of Passenger-Vehicle Rollover on Slopes
Authors: Carrigan Christine E. , Ray Malcolm H.
Published: January 2019

The 1967 “Yellow Book” points out that “[f]or adequate safety it is desirable to provide an unencumbered recovery area up to 30 feet from the edge of the traveled way.” The 1974 Yellow Book points out that a 30-ft recovery area is not a one-size-fits-all guideline. This paper examines the probability of an errant vehicle trajectory extending laterally to a location of interest (e.g., across the median, to the barrier, to a fixed object, etc.) and the likelihood the vehicle will rollover prior to reaching that point as a function of the foreslope. The influence of encroachment speed and angle, vehicle type, and slope on the probable lateral extent was examined using survival analysis of simulated vehicle trajectories. Field collected data were used to scale the simulated data to better represent field collected encroachment speeds and angles. The work presented in this paper represents a significant enrichment to the understanding of the lateral extent of errant vehicle trajectories during an encroachment and the probability of rollover by slope and distance traveled on the slope. These models can be used for guideline development and extended in the future to include ditches and other complex terrain features. The two figures presented in this paper which represent the conclusions of this research are a significant step toward reducing the computational burden of analyzing roadside safety alternatives thereby significantly reducing the reliance on computer programs such as Roadside Analysis Program.
A Pilot Study Exploring the Relationship Between Perfectionism and Anxiety in an Urban Middle School

Published: January 2019

The purpose of this study was to identify whether maladaptive perfectionism predicts elevated symptoms of anxiety in a sample of primarily Puerto Rican middle school students. Participants included students ( N = 128) from Grades 6 through 8 (48% male; average age = 11.9 years) who attended an urban, bilingual, public, charter school. Results suggested both general and specific links between maladaptive perfectionism and anxiety disorder symptoms. More specifically, socially-prescribed perfectionism (SPP) uniquely predicted symptoms of panic whereas self oriented perfectionism (SOP) uniquely predicted symptoms of social anxiety across the sample. These findings provide support for the previously established connection between various anxiety symptoms and perfectionism and demonstrate that such a connection exists in Latino adolescents. Given the strong relationship between different types of maladaptive perfectionism and anxiety, theoretical and cultural considerations should be considered to help better understand the nature of how perfectionism is linked to anxiety disorder manifestations. Future studies implementing more control and longitudinal designs may be useful to better understand how perfectionism may function as a transdiagnostic mechanism in the development and maintenance of anxiety in adolescents, and specifically those who identify as Latino.
Profiles of Youth In-Person and Online Sexual Harassment Victimization
Authors: Taylor Bruce G. , Liu Weiwei , Mumford Elizabeth A.
Published: January 2019

This study examines whether online sexual harassment (SH) is a unique form of behavior, separate and apart from in-person SH. Data were drawn from the National Survey on Teen Relationships and Intimate Violence (STRiV), a national representative household survey focused on youth interpersonal aggression. A weighted sample of 1,184 youth (12-21 years old) completed a baseline and a follow-up survey 1 year later. Through latent class analysis (LCA), we investigate our first research question of whether there are distinct classes/profiles of mutually exclusive online or in-person SH victims or whether they mostly overlap. Second, does there exist a high-rate group of SH victims who experience most of the SH behaviors both in-person and online? Third, what individual characteristics and behaviors, based on past research, are associated with these identified profiles of SH? LCA did not reveal an in-person-only or online-only SH class. The majority of the sample (78.5%) were represented in a Low/Near Zero SH class; 15.3% in a Sexual Orientation Harassment class suffering sexual orientation–related verbal harassment online and in-person; 4.2% in a Verbal SH class suffering verbal sexual comments, being forced to talk about sex, and being shown sexual pictures in-person and online; and 1.9% in a High SH class featured by a high probability of experiencing all online and in-person forms of SH. Biological sex, attitudes, anger, previous violence exposure, and gender stereotyping each predicted at least one latent class. The findings can help inform the design of more effective interventions to prevent SH, highlighting the overlapping nature of in-person and online SH. Prevention efforts designed to address in-person SH need to also consider online SH and vice versa. Clinicians should also consider the risk factors of SH identified in this study in their work identifying at-risk youth.
Characterisation and modelling of the reactions in a three-way PdRh catalyst in the exhaust gas from an ethanol-fuelled spark-ignition engine
Authors: McAtee Claire , McCullough Geoff , Sellick David , Goguet Alexandre
Published: January 2019

This work investigated and modelled the performance and characteristics of automotive catalytic converter formulations when subjected to a synthetic exhaust gas mixture representative of that emitted by an ethanol-fuelled spark-ignition engine. A synthetic gas reactor and exhaust gas emission analyser were used to assess the catalytic activity, the products distribution and chemical mechanisms exhibited by a commercial catalytic converter formulation when exposed to ethanol containing gas mixtures. A commercially available after-treatment modelling platform named Axisuite was used to simulate the catalyst performance. This software was used to assign the pre-exponential frequency factor and activation energy variables within the rate equations. A set of global kinetic coefficients for the relevant reactions was established and is reported.
JSAD Special Issue on Skill Development in India
Authors: Gooptu Nandini
Published: January 2019

This introduction outlines the themes raised in this special issue that are relevant to analytical and policy debates on the far-reaching skill development initiatives currently being implemented in India. An understanding of the preferences, priorities and perceptions of intended beneficiaries of skill development is highlighted as a key issue. From that perspective, emphasis is placed on human-centric theories of skill development, such as human development, capabilities and social justice approaches, as distinct from economic growth and human capital-based interventions. With reference to social construction of skills, it is argued that valuable policy lessons may be drawn, first, from insights into historical traditions of skill acquisition and prevalent forms of apprenticeship and training; secondly, from an understanding of practices and identities based on social institutions such as caste and gender; and thirdly, from a political economy analysis of the role of the state and the private sector in shaping skill policy to mobilize labour. Attention is drawn to the fact that skill training involves not only the development of technical competencies but also a process of change of attitude, disposition and identity of a new generation of workers, with wide-ranging cultural, social and political implications that merit closer analytical attention.
Engaging Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller Communities in Research: Maximizing Opportunities and Overcoming Challenges
Authors: Condon Louise , Bedford Helen , Ireland Lana , Kerr Susan , Mytton Julie , Richardson Zoe , Jackson Cath
Published: January 2019

Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people are marginalized worldwide and experience severe health inequalities, even in comparison to other ethnic minority groups. While diverse and hard to categorize, these communities are highly cohesive and members have a strong sense of identity as a group apart from the majority population. Researchers commonly experience challenges in accessing, recruiting, and retaining research participants from these communities, linked to their outsider status, insular nature, and history of discrimination. In this article, the challenges and the opportunities of engaging Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers in a multicenter qualitative research project are discussed. The management of public involvement and community engagement in this U.K.-based project provides insights into conducting research effectively with ethnically and linguistically diverse communities, often considered to be “hard to reach.”
Exploring Community Residents’ Motivations for Interacting With American Field School Undergraduates in South Africa

Published: January 2019

Background: Learning by experience in field schools (FSs) depends implicitly on the willingness of local residents to engage with students. Although critical perspectives have highlighted the potential harms of study abroad on local people, their views are less frequently investigated. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the perspectives and motivations of local residents who agreed to be interviewed by American undergraduates undertaking a 5-week FS in community health research methods in Cape Town, South Africa. Methodology/Approach: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 residents to explore their perspectives on why they, and others, were willing to be interviewed by students. These were thematically analyzed. Findings/Conclusions: Emphasis was given to the status implicit in being “a student” and “a visitor” and the respect, hospitality, and support this status engendered. To be a student was to be a child and not in a position to help. However, expectations were that help would come later. Residents valued the conversations they had which were seen as opportunities for enjoyment, exchange, and bridging social divides. Implications: In experiential learning programs such as these, local residents are a key community learning resource. Certain design features appear to help optimize the engagement and relationship-building valued by students and residents alike.
Transcending Organizational Compassion Paradoxes by Enacting Wise Compassion Courageously
Authors: Simpson Ace V. , Berti Marco
Published: January 2019

While organizational compassion has attracted increased scholarly interest over the past two decades, inherent paradoxical tensions have been largely overlooked. Transcendence of oppositions is widely recognized as the most effective paradox response. To gain insight about the transcendence of the paradoxical tensions in organizational compassion, we turn to the cultural context of Bhutan, where for centuries compassion has been held as a central virtue informing governance and daily life. Our analysis contributes to the literature on organizational compassion and on organizational paradoxes by (a) theorizing the application of Bhutan’s compassion transcendence strategies to the organizational context, (b) thereby engaging in cross-cultural analysis hereto overlooked in the organizational compassion literature, (c) highlighting paradoxes in compassion relations, and (d) providing a generalizable sociomaterial model for studying paradox transcendence.
