Published: August 2020

This research uses a critical discourse analysis method, from Fair Clough and the value of Islamic communication which not only analyzes the literature discourse but also describes the aspects of description, analysis, and interpretation of the overall coverage. The results of the study provide an explanation of the interpretation of the coverage of i-News TV evening, titled "Aceh Grieving" in the midst of media openness, especially private television programs that tend to be free, as well as the sentiment of media crews in manifesting their roles and functions in the public sphere. Several findings conclude, how the media construct the contents of the news, which shows to the people of Indonesia, that the MNC group, with i-News TV is a mass media that has social sensitivity and social responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia. The approaches taken by the media include: a) Economically and businessly; news content invites the public to care socially-economically, will be moved to channel material donations (money) voluntarily. Here later the MNC Group appears to be one of the names of national private media institutions which in reality are able to channel community social assistance funds to Aceh, b) Ideologically and Politically; to strengthen and posisitioining organizations like this for a mass media communication becomes potential and is expected later, indirectly, can reap political benefits and opportunities associated with moral support and engagement of political interests of the wider community, c) from a cultural approach; Aceh is culturally and historically the region where the people were first touched by the movement to spread Islam in the archipelago.

This study aims to examine development communication in community participation in village development planning. Community participation is very important because it can guarantee the effectiveness of development programs. There are a number of obstacles to community participation in development planning. Some identified barriers are the absence of legal support (Rumensten, 2012), lack of public awareness, low quality of human resources, length of stay and hours employment type (Wijaksono, 2013), lack of socialization from the government (Sagita, 2016), poverty and limited access provided by the government (Ompusunggu, 2017), and interest of bureaucracy in planning (Mbeche, 2017). These studies, indeed, have not considered yet cultural factor leading to disinvolvement. This qualitative case study extends previous studies by revealing the culture of mamfatin ukunrai discouraging community participation in development planning in Naran Village (pseudonym), Raimanuk Subdistrict, Belu Regency. Mamfatin ukunrai is a custom considering development planning is government's duties and responsibilities. Villagers are merely the executor of development programs. This custom is a legacy of royal government system and dominates the mindset of villagers. The tradition of highly appreciating the government unwittingly creates an invisible distance between government and society. It has discouraged villagers’ participation.
RESEARCHES OF MICROMORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF SEEDS OF TRIFOLIUM L. OF FLORA OF THE SOUTH CAUCASUS (AZERBAIJAN REPUBLIC,TALYSH) ON ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPE (SEM) AND THEIR TAXONOMIC MEANING

Published: August 2020

In monographs on Trifolium L., in «Atlas of seeds and fruits of the Central and East” as well as in articles published in prestigious journals the importance of seed characteristics in the taxonomy of clovers is pointed. Among the signs of seeds, the shape of the surface, the structure, size, and shape of their hilum are recorded.

In addition, in many «Flora» and «Determinants» there is no data of the seeds, especially their micromorphological features in the description of the species of clover. Takinginto account the above, we studied the shape and structure of 8 species of clovers under an electron microscope.

For the first time, micromorphological features of seeds of 8 species (T. angustifolium, T. pratense, T. lappaceum, T. subterraneum, T. resupinatum, T. tumens, T. campestre) of clovers (Trifolium L.) of the Talysh flora, collected from the Lankaran-Lerik region of the Azerbaijan Republic, belonging to 4 subgroups and 6 sections were studied on an electron microscope (SEM). The shape of the seeds, their size, color, surface structure, the shape of hilum and their sizes are important taxonomic features. The structure of seeds of the studied species refers to 4 types: seeds with granular surfaces; seeds with tuberculate surfaces; seeds, which have a surface with crystal-like ledges.

Features of the structure of seeds can be used, when specifying the status of subgenera; and sections, the remaining morphological features — when determining species of the genus of clover.

The paper researches the effect of cobalt (АСCo2+) and zinc (АСZn2+), nickel (Ni2+) and manganese (Mn2+) acetylsalicylates in doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg on the characteristics of the rats’ cardiorespiratory system.

The study was carried out on the basis of the Center for collective use of scientific equipment «Experimental Physiology and Biophysics» of the Department of Human and Animal Physiology and Biophysics of the V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University.

The research of the biological effect of the acetylsalicylic acid, АСCo2+, АСZn2+ , АСNi2+, АСMn2+was carried out during their intraperitoneal injection into rats in doses of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg. Simultaneously the following characteristics of all the groups’ animals were registered: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The pulse pressure (PP) was calculated on the basis of the SBP and DBP indices difference. BP, HR and RR of the rats were registered with the help of the system NIBP200A («BiopacSystems, Inc.», USA).

The results of the current research allowed to determine that the coordinating compounds of the acetylsalicylic acid with such metals as Co, Zn, Ni2+, Mn2+ not only have more pronounced biological effect in comparison with the acetylsalicylic acid, but demonstrate new properties; the most effect on the cardiorespiratory system was achieved by АСZn2+.

Thus, the results of the current research allow us to claim that the salts of the acetylsalicylates, having the metal-complexing in its molecules’ composition, have more pronounced and qualitatively new properties in comparison with the acetylsalicylic acid precursor’s properties; this makes the further search for biological and pharmaceutical activity of these coordinating compounds more perspective, as well as it makes the technology of complexingan inexpensive and highly efficient approach to the creation of new medicines.

Published: August 2020

Comparative study of size and weight characteristics, lipid peroxidation (LPO) parameters and antioxidants content in the liver of marine scorpion fish Scorpaena porcus caught in the coastal waters of the Caucasus at the region of Shepsy village demonstrated gender differences. Size and weight parameters of the female were greater than the values of male (p<0,05), while condition index and the height of fish were the similar. Liver index (LSI) and gonadosomatic index (GSI) were higher in female as compared with male. Concentration of dien conjugates and TBA-reactive components were greater in hepatic lipids of female. Concentration of vitamin A and carotenoids was higher in the liver of female than in male. The differences of LPO parameters and antioxidants content were more clearly in the hepatic lipids than in tissues. Gender differences of size, weight, morphological and physiological indices, lipid peroxidation parameters and antioxidants content in fish reflect the specificity of metabolic processes in the liver of scorpion fish male and female, caused the hormonal peculiarities. High LSI and liver weight of female as compared with male are connected with high metabolic rate of the organ caused egg components ( vitellogenin) and energetic substances synthesis, used in reproduction. Increase of metabolic rate is accompanied with the elevate of reactive oxygen species production and lipid peroxidation. Therefore, TBA-reactive products concentration in the liver was in 4-fold greater in female as compared with male. Additionally, the ratio of studied LPO components was also differed in female and male liver (1:0,32:1,1:1,5 in female and 1:0,16:1,8:0,4 ), which revealed the differences between metabolic processes in male and female liver. This is important to take into account at the case of monitoring studies for the fish responses on the environmental stress and at the evaluation of the ecological status of marine waters.

Is color continuously activated in mental simulations across a broader discourse context?
Authors: Hoeben Mannaert Lara N. , Dijkstra Katinka , Zwaan Rolf A.
Published: August 2020

Previous studies have provided contradictory information regarding the activation of perceptual information in a changing discourse context. The current study examines the continued activation of color in mental simulations across one (Experiment 1), two (Experiment 2), and five sentences (Experiment 3), using a sentence-picture verification paradigm. In Experiment 1, the sentence either contained a reference to a color (e.g., a red bicycle) or no reference to a color (e.g., bicycle). In Experiments 2 and 3, either the first or the final sentence contained a reference to a color. Participants responded to pictures either matching the color mentioned in the sentence, or shown in grayscale. The results illustrated that color was activated in mental simulations when the final sentence contained a reference to color. When the target object (e.g., bicycle) was mentioned in all sentences (i.e., in Experiment 2), color remained activated in the mental simulation, even when only the first sentence made a reference to a color. When the focus of the story was shifted elsewhere and the target object was not present across all sentences (i.e., in Experiment 3), color was no longer activated in the mental simulation. These findings suggest that color remains active in mental simulations so long as the target object is present in every sentence. As soon as the focus of the story shifts to another event, this perceptual information is deactivated in the mental simulation. As such, there is no continued activation of color across a broader discourse context.

A complementary approach to conjugated N-acyliminium formation through photoredox-catalyzed intermolecular radical addition to allenamides and allencarbamates
Authors: Koleoso Olusesan K , Turner Matthew , Plasser Felix , Kimber Marc C
Published: August 2020

An intermolecular radical addition, using photoredox catalysis, to allenamides and allencarbamates is reported. This transformation synthesizes N-acyl-N’-aryl-N,N’-allylaminals, and proceeds by a conjugated N-acyliminium intermediate that previously has principally been generated by electrophilic activation methods. The radical adds to the central carbon of the allene giving a conjugated N-acyliminium that undergoes nucleophilic addition by arylamines and alcohols.
Pembatalan Transaksi Hak atas Tanah Oleh Penjual Dengan Alasan Belum Lunas
Authors: Kus Setyowati Retno , Asmaniar Asmaniar
Published: August 2020

Prinsip transaksi atas tanah yang berlaku di Indonesia mendasarkan pada prinsip jual beli dari hukum adat yaitu “terang dan tunai”. Artinya penyerahan hak atas tanah dilakukan dihadapan pejabat umum yang berwenang dalam hal ini Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah (PPAT) serta pembayarannya dilakukan secara tunai dan bersamaan. Bukti telah dilakukannya perbuatan hukum jual beli tanah disajikan dalam bentuk Akta Jual Beli (AJB). AJB merupakan bentuk penyerahan (levering) yuridis dari penjual kepada pembeli, AJB juga sebagai dasar untuk melakukan pengalihan hak dengan cara mencatatkan pengalihan tersebut ke kantor pertanahan. Di dalam banyak kasus pembayaran belum lunas akan tetapi sudah dibuat AJB bahkan telah terjadi pemindahan hak milik. Ternyata maksud tunai dalam prinsip jual beli tanah dalam hukum adat tidaklah berhubungan dengan pembayaran uang, melainkan salah satu syarat atau kondisi agar jual beli tersebut sah dan mengikat secara hukum, dimana syarat tunai dalam jual beli tanah adalah sebagai tanda pelunasan seketika, bahwa tidak ada lagi hubungan hukum antara pihak penjual dengan tanahnya sekaligus beralihnya kepemilikan tanah tersebut kepada pembeli. Apabila pembayaran jual beli atas tanah belum lunas, atau bahkan belum dibayar sama sekali maka pihak penjual bisa memohonkan pembatalan lewat gugatan ke pengadilan dengan alasan wanprestasi.

The Functions of SBST and DBST in South African Primary Schools
Authors: Nong Sefudi Isaac
Published: August 2020

This research focuses on the functions of the SBST and DBST in supporting the teachers to address the challenges they face in teaching inclusive education in South African primary schools. In some instances, inclusive education seeks to identify and dismantle barriers to education faced by all the learners, so that they can have access to quality education. Furthermore participate effectively in class and achieve optimal academic outcomes at school. Although inclusive education has developed and established itself as field of educational research, policy and practice in a relatively short period of time as stated some of the literatures. There is inadequate knowledge and lack of skills in supporting teachers involved in teaching inclusive education and there has been no proper training for those teachers. The collected data has revealed some of the frustrations and challenges experienced by teachers who need support in teaching learners inclusive education. Teachers in South African public primary schools have been assigned to teach classes that include learners with special needs, in a regular classes as emphasised by Whitepaper 6. Over and above, this move requires positive experiences and the support of inclusive schooling, otherwise teachers are unlikely to succeed in teaching inclusive classes (Ernst and Rogers, 2009Guskey, 2002). In responding to what is perceived unjust for these learners experiencing barriers to learning and the teachers involved in teaching inclusive education, this paper attempts to chart the relationship and functions of SBST and DBST as a means for analysing the weakening support offered to inclusive education.

Published: August 2020

Aggressive behavior is the fourth leading cause of adolescent death in 2016 (Enopadria, 2018). The effects of aggressive behavior on adolescents include physical injuries, psychological injuries and social injuries. This aggressive behavior is not only in the form of physical aggression but can manifest in other forms such as angry behavior, verbal aggression, and show hostility to others (Hardoni, 2019). The purpose of this study is to analyze the aggressive behavior that occurs in adolescents, especially high school students in the Pekanbaru city. The population in this study were high school students in the city of Pekanbaru. The number of samples of this study were 904 adolescents. The sample technique used is accidental sampling. The research instrument uses the Brief Aggression Questionnaire. The results of a study conducted in 2020 on high school students in Pekanbaru city about aggressive behavior were 42.1% of adolescents showing low aggressive behavior, while another 57.9% showed high aggressive behavior. It is expected that educational sites will activate the PIK-R program at school because this program is expected to be one of the platforms to suppress aggressive behavior that can occur in adolescents or students in Pekanbaru and its surroundings.

This paper presents the atmospheric characterization of three large, gaseous planets: WASP-127 b, WASP-79 b, and WASP-62 b. We analyzed spectroscopic data obtained with the G141 grism (1.088–1.68 μm) of the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope using the Iraclis pipeline and the TauREx3 retrieval code, both of which are publicly available. For WASP-127 b, which is the least dense planet discovered so far and is located in the short-period Neptune desert, our retrieval results found strong water absorption corresponding to an abundance of log(H2O) = −2.71

and absorption compatible with an iron hydride abundance of log(FeH) = 

, with an extended cloudy atmosphere. We also detected water vapor in the atmospheres of WASP-79 b and WASP-62 b, with best-fit models indicating the presence of iron hydride, too. We used the Atmospheric Detectability Index as well as Bayesian log evidence to quantify the strength of the detection and compared our results to the hot Jupiter population study by Tsiaras et al. While all the planets studied here are suitable targets for characterization with upcoming facilities such as the James Webb Space Telescope and Ariel, WASP-127 b is of particular interest due to its low density, and a thorough atmospheric study would develop our understanding of planet formation and migration.

Using the novel Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission data accumulated during the 2019 MMS Solar Wind Turbulence Campaign, we calculate the Taylor microscale (λ
T) of the turbulent magnetic field in the solar wind. The Taylor microscale represents the onset of dissipative processes in classical turbulence theory. However, an accurate estimation of the Taylor scale from spacecraft data is usually difficult due to low time cadence, the effect of time decorrelation, and other factors. Previous reports were based either entirely on the Taylor frozen-in approximation, which conflates time dependence, or were obtained using multiple data sets, which introduces sample-to-sample variation of plasma parameters, or had interspacecraft distances that were larger than the present study. The unique configuration of linear formation with logarithmic spacing of the four MMS spacecraft, during the campaign, enables a direct evaluation of the λ
T from a single data set, independent of the Taylor frozen-in approximation. A value of λ
T ≈ 7000 km is obtained, which is about three times larger than the previous estimates.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: Trichomoniasis is a worldwide sexually transmitted disease caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. It inflicts severe complications to the human genitourinary system. The devastating negative effects and the emergence of resistance to common medication impose the search for safer and effective alternatives. This research aimed to investigate the effect of the Allium sativum, Nigella sativa crude extracts (NsCE) and the combination between their most effective doses with metronidazole.

Methodology: Vaginal swabs were obtained from symptomatic patients, and cultured on Diamond's medium. Assessment of various concentrations of these herbs at different follow-up periods was done by counting the number of dead T. vaginalis trophozoites using the hemocytometer and trypan blue staining. Transmission electron microscope study was done.

Results: NsCE 9 mg/mL yielded the highest lethal effect on T. vaginalis trophozoites after 72 hours, compared with metronidazole. Combination of NsCE 9 mg/mL and metronidazole 50 µg/mL gave the best result. Additionally, Tomex90 µg/mL, represents a tolerable effect after 72 hours, but metronidazole 100 µg/mL still has higher effect. These results were confirmed by the ultrastructural changes observed in T. vaginalis trophozoites, signifying severe damage of nucleus and cytoplasm with large vacuolization and cell membrane defects.

Conclusions: NsCE is a promising anti-Trichomonas especially its combination with metronidazole which showed a high synergistic effect.

Introduction: One of the most important aspects of inappropriate antibiotic use among general surgeons in Turkey is the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SP). In order to shed light on the current situation, we conducted a survey of general surgeons in our country. Our aim was to evaluate the approach taken by our general surgeons in prescribing SP, while providing data pertinent to the effectiveness of the ‘Rational Drug Use’ (AIK) national action plan.

Methodology: A questionnaire on the subject of personal SP usage and compliance with guidelines was distributed amongst general surgeons between 2018-2019. The questions related to individual approaches taken by surgeons when treating patients with either clean or clean-contaminated wounds. Results of the questionnaires were collated and compliance with ASHP guidelines was evaluated.

Results: A total of 317 completed questionnaires were evaluated. According to the questionnaire results, the rate of total compliance with ASHP guidelines was 26.8%. The compliance rate for preoperative SP was 69.7% in the clean wound group and 54.6% in the clean-contaminated wound group. Although 96.5% of the participants reported correct timing for the first dose of SP, this number dropped to 79.5% apropos the adminstration of further doses of prophylaxis. The percentage of surgeons prescribing continued antibiotics at discharge for clean and clean-contaminated cases was 22.7% and 38.5%, respectively.

Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that inappropriate use of SP is widespread in our country, and that antibiotics continue to be prescribed at discharge.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: There is consensus regarding the importance of blackleg vaccination as a preventive measure, and proper immunization protocols are available. However, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of vaccine protection against Clostridium chauvoei and the treatment of the disease in calves exhibiting early or advanced clinical courses. This study describes twelve blackleg cases in unvaccinated calves and in calves that received a single dose of the vaccine. It also reports the recovery of some calves after antibiotic therapy.

Methodology: Two necropsies of cattle dead from blackleg were performed. Fragments of skeletal muscle from these two cattle were immersed in paraffin for multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.

Results: Twelve calves up to nine months of age developed signs of blackleg and eight died. Ten of those 9-month-old calves had received only the first dose of a blackleg vaccine at 4 months of age, but no booster. The last two affected calves belonged to a herd that had never been vaccinated. Four out of five calves treated with penicillin for 6-7 days recovered from the disease. The diagnosis of blackleg was based on necropsy, histopathological findings and detection of C. chauvoei in skeletal muscle samples of two necropsied calves using PCR.

Conclusions: The occurrence of cases only in calves that did not receive a booster dose or were not vaccinated indicated that the vaccine used was effective when performed as recommended by the manufacturer. However, neglecting the booster resulted in casualties due to blackleg.

Introduction: Considering health professionals among high-risk individuals, we aimed to evaluate their knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-19.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the health professionals (medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, hospital technicians and technologists) providing services at seven hospitals of Punjab province of Pakistan. A self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practices regarding COVID-19.

Results: All of the participants (N = 429) reported that they were aware of COVID-19 and social media was the major source (65%) of this information. Mean knowledge score was 12 ± 2.1, with 75.5% of participants having satisfactory knowledge. Doctors were found to have significantly better knowledge scores than the other health professionals (p = 0.001). Mean attitude score was 8.0 ± 1.2, with a wide majority of health professionals (86.5%) having positive attitudes. Regarding preventive practices, around 64% reported of always covering nose and mouth with a tissue paper during sneezing or coughing and nearly 65% disposed of the dirty tissue paper in trash bin. Only 40% of the participants reported that ‘if they do not have tissue, they cough or sneeze into upper sleeves’. Around 45% reported that they used face mask during their working hours in hospitals nowadays. Mean practice score was 23.3 ± 3.6, with 73.4% of health professionals having satisfactory practices.

Conclusions: The overall COVID-19 related KAP of Pakistani health professionals are satisfactory, however some misperceptions and malpractices uncovered in the present study must be addressed to effectively combat COVID-19.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is the greatest pandemic in modern history. Laboratory test alterations have been described in COVID-19 patients, but differences with other pneumonias have been poorly investigated to date, especially in Caucasian populations. The aim of this study was to investigate differences and prognostic potential of routine blood tests in a series of Italian patients with COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 interstitial pneumonia.

Methodology: Clinical data and routine laboratory tests of a consecutive series of 30 COVID-19 patients and 30 age and sex matched patients with non COVID-19 interstitial pneumonia have been retrospectively collected. Differences in laboratory tests between patients with COVID-19 and non COVID-19 pneumonias have been investigated, as well as differences between COVID-19 survivors and non survivors.

Results: COVID-19 patients had lower white blood cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and higher platelet counts. In addition, COVID-19 patients showed higher mean platelet volume, lower C reactive protein concentrations, and higher De Ritis ratio. Combined blood cell indexes of systemic inflammation were significantly lower in COVID-19 patients. In further analysis of the COVID-19 group, the neutrophil count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR, systemic inflammation response index and De Ritis ratio, were significantly higher in non survivors than in survivors, while the number of platelets was significantly lower in non survivors.

Conclusions: Our study showed several alterations in blood cell populations and indexes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in comparison with patients with non COVID-19 pneumonia. Some of these indexes showed promising prognostic abilities. Further studies are necessary to confirm these results.
Réguler la « bombe iranienne »
Authors: Mangin Maïlys
Published: August 2020

Cette contribution porte sur les usages de l’expertise de l’Agence internationale de l’énergie atomique (AIEA) dans le cadre de la gestion du dossier nucléaire iranien de 2003 à 2009. En reconstituant les usages des rapports d’expertise de l’AIEA à partir de télégrammes Wikileaks , cet article montre que l’expertise internationale sert moins à nourrir le fond d’une décision diplomatique qu’à consolider tactiquement des positions déjà décidées dans une compétition qui dépasse les arènes multilatérales. La valeur tactique de l’expertise est le produit de transactions entre un secteur de la diplomatie politique et celui de l’expertise nucléaire internationale. Sans neutraliser les rapports de force, ces transactions participent à orienter le cadre de la négociation au profit de la position étasunienne d’interdiction de toute capacité d’enrichissement en Iran, et, en transformant des objectifs nationaux en objectifs multilatéraux, à objectiver un arbitraire social international.
La presse d’annonces parisienne à la fin de l’Ancien Régime. Modes de communication et effets sociaux d’un nouveau média
Authors: Krampl Ulrike
Published: August 2020

Outil de communication et pratique socio-économique, la « petite annonce » fait son entrée dans la presse européenne au cours du xvii e siècle avant de donner lieu à des périodiques dédiés. Plateforme d’échange au cœur du pouvoir, organe de la monarchie alimenté par un public de consommateurs et consommatrices éclairés, le titre parisien, Annonces, affiches et avis divers ou Journal général de France , fondé en 1751, connaît une croissance exponentielle dès les années 1770. S’insérant dans un espace médiatique composite au sein duquel l’interconnaissance et la sociabilité de face-à-face demeurent cruciales, le journal en propose une organisation inédite de la communication urbaine, agencée autour d’échanges entre particuliers largement hors circuits réglés par l’économie du privilège. Après l’analyse formelle de ce qui se présente comme une véritable trame de l’infra-ordinaire urbain, seront discutés les différents modes de communication que le journal suscite avant de proposer une réflexion, à partir de l’exemple circonscrit au marché du travail, sur les effets sociaux du nouveau média.
Amour, fiction, et voyeurisme dans les petites annonces sous l’Empire
Authors: Mansker Andrea
Published: August 2020

Sous le Premier Empire le célèbre agent matrimonial Villiaume, reçoit de nombreuses et longues annonces matrimoniales, détaillées et originales qu’il publie dans les colonnes anonymes des Petites Affiches . Ces lettres marquent une rupture avec les profils concis que Villiaume compose auparavant pour ses clients dans les petites annonces. Les candidats au mariage abolissent la frontière entre fiction et réalité, et font de l’annonce matrimoniale un espace fluide, façonné par l’esthétique du roman épistolaire, des écrits pornographiques ou encore des mémoires autobiographiques. Cet article examine la manière dont les lecteurs se sont approprié le sens, le format, et le charme des annonces personnelles à une époque où la presse invite le public à investir les petites annonces de ses désirs intimes.
« Aller-vers » les situations de grande marginalité sociale, les effets sociaux d’un champ de pratiques sociales
Authors: Baillergeau Évelyne , Grymonprez Hans
Published: August 2020

En tant que démarche d’approche et d’immersion auprès des populations restées à l’écart des politiques sociales et de santé publique, l’« aller-vers » a irrigué divers pans de l’intervention sociale tout au long du xx e  siècle, tant en Amérique du Nord qu’en Europe. Il constitue même, dans divers pays, le cœur d’un champ de pratiques : le travail de rue. Cet article s’interroge sur les effets sociaux de ce champ de pratiques et sur sa capacité à remettre en cause des frontières symboliques qui affectent les relations entre la société et sa marge. Les auteurs prennent pour cela appui sur des recherches qualitatives menées en Belgique flamande, au Canada et aux Pays-Bas.
Critical Language Pedagogy in Scotland
Authors: Knipe John M.
Published: August 2020

Critical language pedagogy involves addressing the relationships between power, identity, language, and education. In recent decades, there has been an increase in the understanding of the importance of language revitalization, and many minority and endangered language groups are choosing to teach through the medium of non-dominant languages. This qualitative study looks at the role of critical language pedagogy of teachers within the Gaelic Medium Education (GME) system of schooling in Scotland. Following a phenomenological approach, the researcher interviewed three GME teachers about their backgrounds and experiences. Using closed-coding and critical discourse analysis (CDA), a number of themes emerged. All three participants, despite having had limited formal education in the areas of second language acquisition and critical theory, demonstrated an understanding of critical language pedagogy. With GME seeing an increase in enrollment, there is still much to be done in teacher education in Scotland with regard to critical consciousness.
Language Endangerment in Africa
Authors: Kaji Shigeki
Published: August 2020

The aim of this chapter is to lay a foundation so as to  consider the issue of language endangerment in the world. Approximately 30 years ago, various scholars stated that in the worst-case scenario, 90%–95% of the present living languages of the world would become defunct by the end of the 21st century. The assumption of this argument was that minority languages may become defunct easily. However, in this chapter, this thesis is questioned by taking into account the language situations in Africa where most languages, whether small or large, are vigorously spoken. In African countries, people do not impose majority languages on other people. More importantly, African people in general esteem others because they understand their value to them.
FinTech-Based Islamic Social Financing Products
Authors: Ahmad Abu Umar Faruq , Habib Farrukh
Published: August 2020

Although the blockchain is still at its infancy stage, experts have already regarded its impact and effect as the beginning of a new technological revolution, particularly relevant to the financial services sector. There are various institutions offered by Shari`ah, like zakah, waqf, sadaqah, and qard hasan, which exist and are already established, not only in the Islamic juristic literature but also in the Muslim world. However, the role of such institutions has been marginalized due to various factors; hence, they fail to create a big impact at macro level. This chapter will critically analyse the role of fintech in rejuvenating the Islamic social financing products with the main focus on blockchain and smart contracts. It will explore the application and usage of blockchain and smart contracts in the context of zakah, waqf, and qard hasan. It will also serve the purpose of a comprehensive and crucial reference-point for the role of fintech, blockchain and smart contracts vis-à-vis Islamic social financing products.
FinTech in Brazil

The research approaches topics that are aligned, such as the current context of the economy, the National Financial System, and the scenario of start-ups in Brazil. It was also observed that there is a need to regulate the sector so that it can grow with more freedom and thus be able to add to the country this technological wealth, but it analyzes the need to be less bureaucratic like the financial institutions that operate in the market. The study allowed the authors to understand how large companies already established in the financial market identify fintechs and their business models, identifying opportunities, threats, and how this understanding permits the fintechs to prepare for a competitive market, and for large companies to understand how this model can be characterized as an ally.
