BACKGROUND Treatment of TB is often extended beyond the recommended duration. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of extended treatment and to identify associated risk factors. We also aimed to determine the frequency and type of adverse drug reactions (ADR) experienced
by this study population.METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients treated for active TB at Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand, between 1 March 2012 and 31 December 2018. Data for 192 patients were collected on patient demographics, disease
characteristics and treatment characteristics, including planned and actual duration of treatment and ADRs.RESULTS Of 192 patients, 35 (18.2%) had treatment extended, and 85 (46.5%) of 183 with fully drug-susceptible TB received ≥9 months treatment. The most common reasons for
extension were persistent or extensive disease and ADR. Extended treatment duration was not associated with any patient or disease characteristics. We found 35 (18.2%) patients experienced at least one ADR. The most common ADRs were hepatitis, rash and peripheral neuropathy.CONCLUSION
TB treatment extension beyond WHO guidelines is common. Further research is needed to guide management of those with slow response to treatment. Methods for early detection of ADR, systems to improve adherence and therapeutic drug monitoring are potentially useful strategies.
Quasi-Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of a Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Produced Using Unconventional Manufacturing Methods
Authors: SARZYŃSKA Katarzyna J. , PASZKOWSKI Robert
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this paper was to determine the mechanical properties of a Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy produced by traditional CIP (Cold Isostatic Pressing) and by LENS (Laser Engineered Net Shaping), an additive manufacturing process. A reference material, being a commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy, was also tested. The strength test specimens were produced from a high-quality, Grade 5 titanium powder. Each specimen had its density, porosity, and hardness determined. Compression curves were plotted for the tested materials from the strength test results with static and dynamic loads. These tests were performed on an UTS (Universal Testing Machine) and an SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) stand. The test results obtained led to the conclusion that the titanium alloy produced by CIP had lower strength performance parameters than its commercially-sourced counterpart. The LENS-produced specimens outperformed the commercially-sourced alloy both in static and dynamic load conditions.

Published: December 2021

In the paper, an issue of CMM measurement strategy of the sleeves and pins designed for wear tests in the cycloidal drive. The measurement strategy was proposed, based on initial out-of-roundness measurement in scanning mode. Proposed approach ensured that the pin was measured along its entire 40 mm length with only small area of fixation ca. 5 mm left out, and all probing points for cylindricity deviation assessment were collected in one fixation. It was demonstrated that the cylindricity and roundness measurement results based on 8, 16 and 48 probing points provided sufficient data for further wear analysis. In some cases, the circles calculated from 4 points gave additional insights allowing to accept the part that otherwise might be possibly rejected.
Fractional Calculus Control of Road Vehicle Lateral Stability after a Tire Blowout
Authors: LI Bing lin , ZENG Li
Published: December 2021

The lateral stability control of the vehicle can avoid serious traffic accidents when it had a tire blowout during the operation. This article proposes a robust nonlinear control method for controlling vehicle lateral stability after a tire blowout. To be exact, a seven degree of freedom dynamic model of vehicle with modified Dugoff tire model is established. The yaw moment of vehicle is performed by differential braking once the tire blowout occurring. As for control strategy, taking the linear two degree of freedom vehicle model as the reference, using the deviation of yaw rate and the vehicle side angle between the actual value and the reference value as the controller input parameters, the fractional calculus theory is utilized for yaw moment controller which was investigated by regulating the brake moment of blowout vehicle for improving its stability. The results of computer simulation show that the design controller of fractional PID can more effectively enhance the blowout vehicle performance stability compared with the vehicle with the non control, PID control, no matter in straight road or curve road.
Die Digitalisierungsstrategie der Europäischen Union – Meilensteine und Handlungsfelder zwischen digitaler Souveränität und grüner Transformation
Authors: Reiners Wulf
Published: December 2021

Digital transformation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, it affects almost all areas of social and economic life. As a cross-cutting issue and solution to specific challenges, it is also increasingly the subject of initiatives at EU level. Since 2015, the EU has developed a comprehensive digital agenda that involves various areas, ranging from the single market to foreign and security policy. The paper traces the dynamic development on the basis of strategy documents and policy guidelines in three phases with a focus on 2020 and 2021. It takes stock of the EU’s overarching strategy towards digitalisation by examining what the EU understands by it, what its goals are, and what role it draws for itself in shaping the digital transformation. The study shows that the EU tries to grasp digitalisation in a substantial number of policy-specific strategies and guidelines, using mainly four patterns of interpretation - partly in parallel - which differ in terms of geopolitical, environmental, socio-political and economic policy framing.
Ein ökonomisches Happy End aus geostrategischen Gründen? Erfolgsaussichten für den Freihandel zwischen der Europäischen Union und Indien
Authors: Barbato Mariano
Published: December 2021

The talks that have been resumed for reaching a free trade agreement between the European Union and India have a good chance for success. Both partners, especially India, have to achieve new economic dynamics in order to be able to face the challenge posed by China. This decisive reason is supported by Brexit, the pandemic and the climate crisis, which also spark an exogenous, geostrategic dynamic that gives new impetus to the paralyzed liberal paradigm of free trade. Taken together, it is likely that exogenous geostrategic factors realign the endogenous economic factors and thus promote a positive outcome despite the ongoing weakness of liberal free trade ideas.
Internationale Verhandlungen via Twitter?
Authors: Goritz Alexandra , Jörgens Helge , Kolleck Nina
Published: December 2021

Twitter hat sich für viele Disziplinen zu einem wichtigen Untersuchungsgegenstand und einer interessanten Datenquelle entwickelt. Jedoch wird die Kommunikationsplattform von Forscher*innen der transnationalen und Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) bislang wenig untersucht. Unter den verschiedenen sozialen Medien wird Twitter am intensivsten von politischen Akteur*innen genutzt. Dies liegt vor allem an der Zugänglichkeit, Öffentlichkeit und Schnelllebigkeit der Plattform. Twitter schafft so einen digitalen öffentlichen Diskursraum, in dem verschiedene Akteur*innen länderübergreifend und ohne Zeitverzögerung direkt miteinander interagieren können. In diesem Beitrag möchten wir aufzeigen, wie Twitter von Akteur*innen im Bereich der internationalen Politik genutzt werden kann, mit besonderem Fokus auf internationalen Verhandlungen. Abschließend erörtern wir die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen, die sich für Forscher*innen der IB bei der Nutzung von Twitter-Daten ergeben können.
Die polarisierten Staaten von Amerika und internationale Ordnungspolitiken
Authors: Harnisch Sebastian , Friedrichs Gordon M.
Published: December 2021

Nicht erst seit der Präsidentschaft und Außenpolitik von Donald Trump gibt es gute Gründe zu vermuten, dass die Kontestation innerstaatlicher Ordnung in den USA im Zeitverlauf so stark variieren kann, dass ihre (zeitweilige) Illiberalität die Stabilität einer liberalen internationalen Ordnung untergraben kann. Die in diesem Literaturreview diskutierten Werke deuten auf einen Wandel von formalen und informellen Institutionen und deren Interaktion im (außen-)politischen Prozess der USA hin. Es werden gezielt Monographien und Sammelbände in den Blick genommen, welche die Innenpolitik der amerikanischen Außenpolitik adressieren und die US- Politik daraufhin untersuchen, inwiefern die parteipolitische Polarisierung und die populistische Außenpolitik der Trump-Administration, die Beziehungen zu zentralen Partnern und Kontrahenten in zwei zentralen Weltregionen (Europa und Asien) verändern. Das Literaturreview bietet erste Bausteine für ein Forschungsprogramm an, welches die innenpolitischen Veränderungen in den USA systematisch mit der Rolle der USA gegenüber anderen Staaten und nichtstaatlichen Akteuren verbindet.
Polarisierung statt Diversity? Wie die Debatte ums Gendern die Gesellschaft spaltet
Authors: Weidner Astrid , Ruck Ivo
Published: December 2021

Kaum eine Debatte der letzten Jahre heizt die Gemüter so an wie das Gendern. Die einen sind felsenfest überzeugt, die anderen - immerhin rund zwei Drittel der Gesellschaft - sind es leid. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir, was die Menschen in puncto Gendern spaltet. Wie sich zeigt, erhoffen sich die Befürworter bessere Sichtbarkeit und Gleichberechtigung für alle, während die Gegner die Verständlichkeit in Gefahr sehen und eine politische Einflussnahme auf die Sprache befürchten. Wir kritisieren, dass die Bemühungen ums Gendern zu schnell und uneinheitlich geschehen und so für Unsicherheiten und Umsetzungsschwierigkeiten sorgen. Wir überprüfen, ob das Gendern über eine symbolische Wirkung hinaus wirkt oder gar eine Spaltung zwischen Geschlechtern begünstigt. Ferner untersuchen wir den rauen Ton und die Manier der Debatte. Beide Seiten praktizieren Techniken wie gegenseitigen Ausschluss, schlagseitige Argumentationen und persönliche Diffamierung, die wenig zielführend sind. Vielmehr sind Gesprächsbereitschaft, Offenheit und Toleranz für Fehler gefragt. Es gilt, dem Gendern gegenüber offen zu sein. Und zu respektieren, wenn jemand dagegen ist.
Covert Animal Rescue
Authors: Weltman Daniel ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: December 2021

We should conceive of illegal covert animal rescue as acts of “subrevolution” rather than as civil disobedience. Subrevolutions are revolutions that aim to overthrow some part of the government rather than the entire government. This framework better captures the relevant values than the opposing suggestion that we treat illegal covert animal rescue as civil disobedience. If animals have rights like the right not to be unjustly imprisoned and mistreated, then it does not make sense that an instance of animal rescue will be justifiable only if it meets criteria for justified civil disobedience, e.g., the requirement that the civil disobedient not rescue more animals than would be necessary to communicate their message. Thus, the framework of subrevolution is a more apt way to analyze animal rescue.
Moral Grounds for Forgiveness
Authors: Brookes Derek R. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2021

In this paper, I argue that forgiveness is a morally appropriate response only when it is grounded in the wrongdoer’s demonstration of genuine remorse, their offer of a sincere apology, and, where appropriate, acts of recompense and behavioral change. I then respond to John Kleinig’s suggestion (in his paper “Forgiveness and Unconditionality”) that when an apology is not forthcoming, there are at least three additional grounds that, when motivated by virtues such as love and compassion, could nevertheless render “unconditional forgiveness” a morally laudable option. I argue that such grounds could indeed constitute or result in laudable responses to wrongdoing, but only if they are not conceived of or described in terms of forgiveness.
The Young Leibniz and the Ontological Argument
Authors: Ottaviani Osvaldo ,   Zeta Books
Published: December 2021

Leibniz considered the Cartesian version of the ontological argument not as an inconsistent proof but only as an incomplete one: it requires a preliminary proof of possibility to show that the concept of ‘the most perfect being’ involves no contradiction. Leibniz raised this objection to Descartes’s proof already in 1676, then repeated it throughout his entire life. Before 1676, however, he suggested a more substantial objection to the Cartesian argument. I take into account a text written around 1671-72, in which Leibniz considers the Cartesian proof as a paralogism and a petition of principle. I argue that this criticism is modelled on Gassendi’s objections to the Cartesian proof, and that Leibniz’s early rejection of the ontological argument has to be understood in the general context of his early philosophy, which was inspired by nominalist authors, such as Hobbes and Gassendi. Then, I take into account the reconsideration of the ontological argument in a series of texts of 1678, showing how Leibniz implicitly replies to the kind of criticism to the argument he himself shared in his earlier works.
Re-framing AI
Authors: Fabrocini Filippo , Terzidis Kostas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2021

AI is “essentially detached” from the world. The intrinsic nature of this technology precludes a proper space of negotiation between the different human and non-human actors involved and leads to an ideology of control. The challenge of the designer consists in looking across the black box, as opposed to looking inside, in order to visualise, sense, and experience why AI is leading us, and where, and how. These questions are as important as the algorithmic questions. The missing integration between human and artificial intelligence must be compensated for by mechanisms of social governance. These mechanisms should adopt an approach of constructive engagement with the limits of AI through the inclusion of social learning processes involving the different stakeholders, starting with ordinary citizens. Designing a “good” AI means to give up on a de-situated and socially detached understanding for engaging a community of actors while sharing a common concern.
Da Fronteira ao Entorno Metropolitano: particularidades de cidades médias amazônicas - Altamira e Castanhal no Estado do Pará
Authors: Ribeiro Willame De Oliveira , Miranda Neto José Queiroz de
Published: December 2021

A diversidade das realidades representadas pelas cidades médias requer o reconhecimento das particularidades desses centros urbanos e de suas articulações regionais, especialmente ao se levar em conta as diferenças entre as macrorregiões brasileiras, como é o caso da Amazônia em relação ao restante do país. Nesse sentido é que surge a problemática dessa pesquisa, delimitada pelas indagações que se seguem: como se caracterizam as cidades de Castanhal e Altamira em termos de suas situações espaciais, estruturas urbanas e articulações regionais? E como esses centros urbanos, a partir de suas particularidades, apresentam-se diante do conjunto das cidades médias? A partir do desenvolvimento de procedimentos metodológicos como levantamentos bibliográficos e documentais e trabalhos de campo pode-se constatar que a análise das cidades de Castanhal e Altamira, no Estado do Pará, revela o quanto é indispensável a consideração das particularidades regionais amazônicas na busca do reconhecimento das cidades médias a partir dos seus papéis na rede urbana. Além disso, também evidencia que mesmo em se tratando de um contexto macrorregional comum a duas cidades as suas particularidades continuam a se impor, o que levou, na presente análise, à admissão de Castanhal como cidade média de entorno metropolitano e Altamira enquanto cidade média da fronteira amazônica.
Método Curve Number – pesquisas e discussões dos parâmetros valor CN e abstração inicial
Authors: Carvalho Fabio , Rodrigues Silvio Carlos
Published: December 2021

O estudo de condições de resposta ao processo de precipitação e geração de escoamento é um dos desafios em estudos hidrogeomorfológicos. Entre estudos existentes, o Método CN tornou-se importante devido à sua facilidade de aplicação a partir da utilização de parâmetros físicos, de uso e ocupação da terra e de dados de chuva, estimando o escoamento superficial e o armazenamento potencial de bacias hidrográficas, fornecendo informações hidrológicas para a tomada de decisões. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar aspectos históricos e de desenvolvimento do Método CN, bem como pesquisas e discussões do parâmetro principal da metodologia conhecido como valor CN e da abstração inicial (Ia), segundo revisão de literatura. Os valores CN contidos em tabelas e gráficos do Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) consideram o índice de Ia=0,2, todavia, pesquisas indicam variações nos índices de Ia. Valores CN e índices de Ia podem ser conseguidos mediante dados de precipitação e de escoamento superficial obtidos em bacias hidrográficas e por experimentos com chuvas artificiais em parcelas experimentais, fornecendo informações locais. Abordagens utilizando pesquisas e experimentos regionais demonstram que podem melhorar os parâmetros do Método CN para algumas regiões, gerando melhor estimativa do escoamento superficial. Os índices de abstração inicial alteram o escoamento superficial estimado pela metodologia, e pesquisas indicam que o índice de Ia=0,2 ser elevado para algumas condições edafoclimáticas.

Published: December 2021

A geografia da saúde possibilita compreender a organização espacial dos eventos em saúde, morbimortalidade e oferta dos serviços de saúde, tendo em vista que esses eventos não estão distribuídos aleatoriamente no espaço geográfico. As desigualdades espaciais na mortalidade infantil representam um importante problema de saúde pública, portanto, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar a geografia das condições obstétricas e neonatais, em pequenos municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, que integram a 16ª Coordenadoria Regional da Saúde, no período de 2010 a 2014. Foi realizado um estudo ecológico, com os indicadores relacionados aos recém-nascidos e à oferta de serviços públicos de saúde. As variáveis foram categorizadas em: sociodemográficas, assistenciais, resultantes e de cobertura dos serviços. Foi realizada a distribuição e análise espacial dos indicadores, através do Índice de Moran Global. O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson serviu para verificar associação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas e assistenciais, com as variáveis resultantes e, entre as condições de saúde e a cobertura dos serviços públicos de saúde. Os resultados possibilitaram a compreensão da geografia das condições obstétricas e neonatais, e de que forma os serviços públicos de saúde contribuíram na assistência materno-infantil.

Authors: Roshan Rajan , Santhosh Ambujakumari
Published: December 2021

Most of the IT organizations are facing various challenges such as technological advancement, new customer requirements, merger & acquisition, and changing market demands, which should be addressed to survive in the industry. For enhancing more value to the customer in the project, the best option is to choose Agile Methodology for managing the project, which helps to accommodate the ad-hoc business requirement than pre-planned. Though, most of the organization, especially in the IT industry is shifting to Agile methodology practice, which helps to enjoy the benefit of better collaboration and customer experience. The study was conducted among 404 IT professionals from the IT corridors of India to understand the influence of Agile methodology on IT project performance. Most responses received from people who have sound experience in IT project management which assures the quality of results obtained. From study, it has been found that Agile methodology (b= 0.630, p<0.00) has a significant and positive impact on the project performance. Also, the study proves that people who are working in Scrum framework (Agile methodology) improves the project quality as well as business value. Based on Stepwise regression results, Product ownership has higher degree of importance than other independent variable for the individual work performance which solidifies the requirement for software development. Multicollinearity Assessment shows Product Ownership and Development Practice have more impact on project performance than Team considered for the study. Previous studies didn't cover the aspect as well as areas proposed in this study to arrive the conclusion of Scrum framework for project performance, and it opens the pathway for future research work.
Evaluation and ranking of insurance companies by combining TOPSIS and the interval fuzzy rough sets

Published: December 2021

Corporate and organizational performance assessment is an important activity for both the managers and other stakeholders, as it provides them with an asset to evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to the competition, as well as guidelines for selecting appropriate measures to address the existing problems. The issue of criteria selection has been overcome through the literature review and the issue of criteria weights is handled by applying group decision making procedure. The procedure itself consists of using predefined linguistic expressions that are modelled by triangular fuzzy numbers and the aggregation of decision makers' opinion based on the rules of rough sets algebra. The values of the decision matrix are determined by prognosis method and they are described by crisp values. The proposed algorithm is tested on the insurance companies that operate in the Republic of Serbia.
Project management in manufacturing enterprises
Authors: Vrchota Jaroslav , Řehoř Petr
Published: December 2021

Current time of turbulent changes is related to the necessity of innovation, of both the products and the entire organization management system. However, innovation activities must be implemented in a short time. Unfortunately, most of the organizations struggle with insufficient costs and the lack of creative and active human resources. All of this might lead to a loss of market position and a decrease in competitiveness. If an organization wants to succeed on the market and survive in the long term, the trial and error method is ruled out. The project management is a possible way of dealing with the issue. Project management is characterized by a detailed examination of all the aspects of the project, their detailed planning, culminating in the implementation of the change and innovation. Therefore, the current managers need to define the precise goals, the responsible persons, and deadlines, allocate the tasks, costs and define the procedures crucial for project management clearly. Only in this way an organization is able to react to major changes quickly and without any mistakes. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the factors, important for the manufacturing enterprises in the projects, and to find out the relations of such factors. The research was carried out in 2019 in 116 manufacturing enterprises in the Czech Republic. The project managers often focus their attention on customer satisfaction and cost magnitude in evaluating of the projects.
Application of self-determination theory on the motivation structure of hotel management employees
Authors: Stanišić Nataša , Čerović Slobodan
Published: December 2021

Self-determination theory that was used as a starting point of this paper, indicates the existence of different types of motivation that are distributed along the motivational continuum and which differ according to the degree of self-determination, the formation of which is under the influence of the environmental and individual factors. This research presents the applicability of the basic postulates of self-determination theory on a sample of 150 employees within the hotel sector in Belgrade. The aim of this paper is to determine the extent of which environmental factors, such as work climate, affect the satisfaction of basic psychological needs of employees and through them, the structure of motivation (autonomous/controlled/amotivation). The results of this research show that the work climate, which is defined as perceived autonomy support, significantly affects the satisfaction of psychological needs and motivation for work, where the satisfaction of basic psychological needs has a mediating role, thus creating conditions for developing autonomous forms of motivation.

Effect of access to innovations on assets acquisition and development capacity of women in rural Nigeria
Authors: Sofoluwe Nurudeen
Published: December 2021

This study investigates the attribution effect of access to innovation on assets acquisition and development among rural women. The study analyzed gender differences in access to innovations and its consequence on assets ownership among rural males and females. Primary data for the study were sourced through a structured questionnaire. The data was fitted to a propensity score matching model in order to isolate the effect of access to innovation on gender differences in an asset acquisition. The findings showed that rural development drive requires innovative intervention in the rural areas and its effect could be more favorable to males than females in terms of productive asset acquisition and development. But, no significant difference (5% level) was established for non-productive asset acquisition across gender. There is a need for gender-inclusive strategies for rural development.
Water quality assessment of the Montenegrin part of the Lim river using the Serbian water quality index (SWQI)
Authors: Vujović Filip , Delić Mladen , Smolović Darko
Published: December 2021

The paper analyzes the water quality of the Montenegrin part of the Lim River using the Serbian Water Quality Index (SWQI) method. This method uses ten physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters (temperature, pH value, electrical conductivity, oxygen saturation, BOD5 , suspended solids, total nitrogen oxides, orthophosphates, ammonium, coliform bacteria) and summarizes them in a water quality index number. Data from the Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology of Montenegro (IHMS) from the Annual Reports on Water Quality from 2010 to 2018 were used to assess water quality. The results of this research, according to SWQI, show that in the upper course of the Montenegrin part of the Lim, at the control stations Plav and Andrijevica, water has excellent quality. Downstream, passing through the urban areas of Berane and Bijelo Polje at the control stations Skakavac, Zaton, Bijelo Polje, Dobrakovo, the water quality enters the class of very good and good quality. The results of average SWQI values at all control stations for the research period of eight years indicate that the quality in the Montenegrin part of the Lim River can be classified as very good (87). The paper confirms the importance of the SWQI as a useful method for presenting water quality data despite its many advantages and disadvantages. In order to achieve relevant results and the actual ecological status of the river, it is necessary to apply the Water Quality Index (WQI), which includes inorganic parameters.

Published: December 2021

El objetivo del presente artículo es determinar la existencia de vedettes animales rastreando, para ello, la superposición de aquellos mecanismos y dinámicas conducentes a la adquisición de dicho estatus en el caso de actores y actrices humanos. Cogiendo como ejemplo paradigmático el caso de la elefanta Mlle. Djeck, presente en los escenarios europeos del siglo XIX, se analizarán los elementos que permiten tanto la inclusión del animal-actor en el fenómeno de la celebridad, cuanto aquellas características que resultan en su singularización. Asimismo, se estudiarán las nociones de voyerismo e intimidad como principales ejes en torno a los cuales se construye la nueva relación entre público y vedette propia de esta figura. Por último, se atenderá al papel fundamental de la prensa, así como otros medios mediáticos, en cuanto que intermediarios necesarios para la construcción, promoción y popularización de la vedette y/o celebridad.

The main of this article is to determine the existence of the animal stars by analysing the mechanisms and dynamics conducive to the acquisition of this status in the case of human actors and actresses. Taking as a paradigmatic example the case of the elephant Mlle. Djeck, present in the European stages of the 19th century, will analyse the elements that allow both the inclusion of the animal-actor in the phenomenon of celebrity, as well as those characteristics that result in its singularization. Likewise, the notions of voyeurism and intimacy will be studied as the main axes around which the new relationship between the public and the star of this figure is built. Lastly, the fundamental role of the press, as well as other media, will be addressed as intermediaries necessary for the construction, promotion and popularization of the star and/or celebrity.
monde sans frontières : e-migration et intern@alisation

Published: December 2021

La globalización, la innovación tecnológica y la velocidad del cambio hacen necesario adaptarse a las nuevas necesidades de cada país. Esto está condicionado por el dominio de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), que permiten traspasar fronteras y posibilitar la interacción entre países. En la actualidad, el fenómeno migratorio en España se ha vuelto cotidiano, y lograr la integración de estos migrantes es un desafío que condiciona el desarrollo socioeconómico, por eso comparamos en este estudio la diferencia entre la brecha digital y especialmente la brecha de género entre España y Argelia y analicemos el impacto que esta brecha digital tiene en la integración de la inmigración argelina en España, y propongamos medidas que puedan mejorar la inclusión de estas personas.

Globalization, technological innovation and speed changes make the adaption to the new needs of each country necessary. This is conditioned by the mastery of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which makes it possible to push borders back and to interact between countries. Currently, migration in Spain has become a daily phenomenon and achieving the integration of those migrants is a challenge that conditions socio-economic development. This is the reason why, in this study, we are establishing the difference in the digital divide, precisely the gender gap, between Spain and Algeria, analyzing the impact that has this digital divide on the integration of Algerian immigrants in Spain and proposing measures that can improve the inclusion of these people.
propuesta de nivel cero en la didáctica de los Estudios Franceses desde las TIC
Authors: Vicente Castañares Esmeralda
Published: December 2021

La vertiginosa facilidad de acceso actual a cualquier contenido web, así como su ingente cantidad, dificultan la realización de un filtrado de calidad informativa a nivel cero. Entendemos necesario este cribado TIC, a la hora de ser utilizado por el alumnado universitario para sus propios trabajos de investigación en Estudios Franceses. El objetivo primordial de este estudio sería conseguir que los/las estudiantes dispongan de las herramientas TIC guía que puedan ayudarles a desarrollar u acrecentar un espíritu crítico y selectivo. Éste les permitiría tomar las decisiones adecuadas en el momento de seleccionar y usar las TIC de manera responsable, segura, colaborativa y cooperativa. Para llegar a estos objetivos partiremos de un sondeo previo entre los/las estudiantes, con objeto de recopilar su posible conocimiento de estas “herramientas guía” (ejemplo: web de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos y su “Lista Robinson”). Se procederá en lo sucesivo a un análisis sistemático de cada contenido TIC utilizado que aporte esta capacidad selectiva al alumnado.

The tearing easiness of access to any web content, as well as its huge quantity, make difficult the application of a cero level quality informative filter. We consider this ICT screening should be done whenever students are going to use it for their own researching tasks in French Studies. This study’s essential target would be the students to get guide ICT tools which could help them to develop or increase a critical and selective thinking. This would allow them for take suitable decisions when making a choice and using ICT in a responsible, sure, collaborative, cooperative way. In order to attain these goals, we would start from a previous survey among students with the aim to compile their possible knowledge concerning these “guide tools” (example: Agencia Española de Protección de Datos’ web and its “Lista Robinson”).

La vertigineuse facilité d’accès à n’importe quel contenu web, ainsi que son imposante quantité, entravent la réalisation d’un tri de qualité informative au niveau zéro. On estime impératif ce filtrage TICE, au moment d’être utilisé par les étudiants pour leurs propres travails de recherche en Études Françaises. L’objectif fondamental de cette étude serait de réussir à ce que les étudiants disposent des outils TICE guide qui puissent les aider à développer ou fomenter un esprit critique et sélectif. Celui-ci leur permettrait de prendre des décisions adéquates au moment de sélectionner et utiliser les TICE de manière responsable, sure, collaborative et coopérative. Pour atteindre ces objectifs on partira d’un sondage préalable entre les étudiants, à l’objet de compiler leur possible connaissance de ces“outils guide” (exemple: web de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos y su “Lista Robinson”). Dorénavant, on agira à une analyse systématique de chaque contenu TICE utilisé qui puisse fournir cette capacité sélective aux étudiants.

Authors: El Baroudi Mourad
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar las prácticas lingüísticas de la diáspora marroquí en situaciones de contacto en las redes sociales digitales. De hecho, los miembros de esta comunidad en línea, en sus interacciones lingüísticas escritas en estos universos digitales, muestran una notable creatividad cuando mezclan el árabe marroquí y el francés; Utilizan marcas tipográficas específicas y cambian el lenguaje de la matriz de una declaración a otra. Además, estas prácticas lingüísticas bilingües son el producto de una fertilización cruzada entre estas prácticas en su forma oral y la tecnología que les ha dado una forma escrita. Por tanto, los datos de nuestro estudio no serán sólo los elementos lingüísticos, es decir, los enunciados, sino también los elementos compuestos que atraviesan aspectos culturales, identitarios, sociales y tecnológicos.

L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger les pratiques langagières de la diaspora marocaine en situation de contact sur les réseaux sociaux numériques. En effet, les membres de cette communauté en ligne, dans leurs interactions langagières écrites sur ces univers numériques, font preuve d’une ingéniosité remarquable quand ils mélangent l’arabe marocain et le français; Ils recourent à des marques typographiques spécifiques et changent la langue matrice d’un énoncé à un autre. En outre, ces pratiques langagières bilingues sont le produit d’un métissage entre ces pratiques dans leur forme orale et la technologie qui leur a offert une forme écrite. De ce fait, les données de notre étude seront non seulement les éléments langagiers, à savoir les énoncés, mais aussi des éléments composites qui croisent, des aspects culturel, identitaire, social et technologique.
Family Counselling as Decolonization: Exploring an Indigenous Social-Constructivist Approach in Clinical Practice1
Authors: Stewart Suzanne
Published: December 2021

In Canada, Indigenous peoples' lives are shaped by relationships with their families. These relationships are defined by traditional Indigenous conceptions of connectedness with the earth, communities, and the many relations that occur within these contexts and are based on what is termed Indigenous ways of knowing. These relationships are also described through a concept of Western social constructivism. Social constructivism is an ideal mate for Indigenous ways of knowing in the practice of family counselling because it recognizes the importance of culture and context in understanding what occurs in human interactions when constructing knowledge based on this understanding. Indigenous ways of knowing have been of recent and growing interest to family mental health practitioners and policymakers who are seeking to support clients in decolonization processes. Family service providers who work in a Western social service or health care setting have an interest in exploring forms of sociocultural theory and practice, such as Indigenous ways of knowing, in order to address and further the practitioner-family interaction and to benefit both individuals and communities in a responsible and sustainable manner. Using current and historical literature, this article presents a summary of issues and guidelines for a hybrid approach that brings together Western and Indigenous approaches for family service workers (such as counsellors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists) and a set of guidelines for practical application. Implications of how these practices can positively impact and promote community mental health in the current climate of recovery from colonialism and cultural genocide are presented.
The Occasional Evil of Angels: Learning From the Experiences of Aboriginal Peoples and Social Work1
Authors: Blackstock Cindy
Published: December 2021

This paper explores how the propensity of social workers to make a direct and unmitigated connection between good intentions, rational thought, and good outcomes form a white noise barrier that substantially interferes with our ability to see negative outcomes resulting directly or indirectly from our works. The paper begins with outlining the harm experienced by Aboriginal children before moving to explore how two fundamental philosophies that pervade social service practice impact Aboriginal children: 1) an assumption of pious motivation and effect and 2) a desire to improve others. Finally, the paper explores why binding reconciliation and child welfare is a necessary first step toward developing social work services that better support Aboriginal children and families.
Alcohol is a great destroyer: A call for insight on ceremonial approaches for coping with FASD
Authors: Koptie Steven
Published: December 2021

As a seasoned community helper, I worry about the generation now assuming roles as healers, leaders and warriors, and continuing the fight for fundamental change in the relationship between Canada’s Indigenous peoples and those privileged to inherit colonial legacies of European global colonization. I now view my personal journey of self discovery as an unending marathon. I honour “Runners” like Tom Longboat who represented the strength and vitality of healthy and sober communities. Traditional runners were as dependent on path-finders as we are today, yet they travelled with dedication and carried important information that sustained community integrity. Open discussion about the devastation of FASD is the most important conversation required across our territories today. We need to prepare good messages and good minds for the next generation to bring forward. This self-reflective paper seeks solace in rituals such as the Haudenasaunee Reqickening Addresses to allow those who suffer to “stand again in front of the people.”
Resilience and enculturation: Strengths among young offenders with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Rogers Billie Joe , McLachlan Kaitlyn , Roesch Ronald
Published: December 2021

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disorder with no cure and is accompanied by neurological deficits. FASD is a health concern that is increasingly gaining attention within the justice system. Research has identified an association between delinquency and prenatal alcohol exposure. This study looked at resources of resilience for young offenders and addressed questions regarding the association between enculturation and resilience, and whether offence histories differed between youth with and without a diagnosis of FASD. Ninety-four young offenders between 13 and 23 years of age participated, 47 diagnosed with FASD and 47 without. While this study was not intended to be a study on Aboriginal adolescence, given the overrepresentation of FASD among Aboriginal youth involved in justice settings, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) was included to assess levels of enculturation among youth. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) was used to assess resilience. Results showed a positive association between the resilience-enhancing resources and enculturation, indicating that the two are intricately connected. Neither group differed in their rates on the resilience-enhancing resources or the enculturation measure. While the resilience measure was not significantly associated with official conviction data, it did demonstrate significant associations with self-reported offending data. Finally, no significant results emerged to suggest that FASD had an influence on the association between the resilience measure and offence history or the enculturation measure and offence history. Findings suggest the importance of incorporating cultural components into services targeted to produce resilience and positive outcomes, and that different groups may have different service needs.
