Authors: Bationo Frederic , Ilboudo Zoewendbem Alain
Published: July 2022

This document shows the difficulties encountered by railway companies in the operation of locomotives. He makes a special mention in the case of International African Transport Company by RAIL. To do this, the history of International African Transport Company by RAIL locomotive operating failures has allowed us to calculate their operational availability, their mean times of failure,2wsa3ewdcxe3rtf2wsa3ewdcxe3rtf6 and their average technical repair times. The analysis shows that out of twenty locomotives, 60 percent has an operational availability below the 95 percent reference value. Using the functional analysis method, the locomotive operating indicators are evaluated and represented in Operation Functional Specification showing the deficiencies and achievements. Ishikawa has also been used on the traction motor, the element at the origin of the unavailability of locomotives, to identify the major causes, allowing making proposals for solutions, to improve the operational availability of traction engines and, in turn, of locomotives.

Národopis pod jednou střechou. Příspěvek k osvětlení centralizačních snah a politických vlivů v prvorepublikovém muzejnictví na příkladu pražských národopisných sbírek
Authors: Woitschová Klára
Published: July 2022

In the interwar period of Czechoslovakia, there were in Prague four museums, that owned ethnographic collections: National Museum, Náprstek Museum, Czechoslovak Ethnographical Museum and Czechoslovak Museum of Agriculture. We can observe strong tendencies to unite these collections under one roof. Many factors played a role during the attempts at unification: unclear competencies and incompatible opinions of state offices, pressure from political parties, poor economic situation of private societies that owned mentioned museums as well as personal ambitions of some politicians and museum representatives. The attempt to unite all ethnographic collections in one museum did not succeeded, but many circumstances of the unification process are quite significant for the cultural environment of the first Czechoslovak republic.
Edice Petlice jako symbol české samizdatové literatury ve svobodném světě
Authors: Hanáková Jitka
Published: July 2022

An integral part of Czech literature of the 2nd half of the 20th century is also literature published in samizdat. By this we mean works that could not be published in official publishing houses, but were reproduced in typescript. The symbol of such a literature of the 1970s and 1980s was the Petlice edition, the most important and most extensive typescript edition. It was founded at the end of 1972 L. Vaculík and was run throughout its existence. Petlice focused its activities on original Czech and Slovak literary works. It has published almost 400 titles. Authors who were prevented from publishing after 1968, such as I. Klíma, P. Kohout, V. Havel and J. Gruša, published their works here. The books of the Petlice were characterised by the authors’ signatures on the title page and on the reverse of the title page, and the copyright formula – the most famous V.z.d.o.r. (Explicit prohibition of further copying of the manuscript) belonged to the most efficient editorial scribe Z. Erteltová. The activities of the edition were followed by a number of samizdat publishers. Among the first were J. Vladislav with his Kvart and V.Havel with Edice Expedicí. The activities of the exile and cooperation with it had a great influence on the development of Czech samizdat. A significant part of samizdat production was published by exile publishing houses and magazines that paid at least a small fee to the authors. The exile also played an important role of mediation, communication and information. It selflessly ensured the supply of samizdat texts to radio stations that broadcast in Czech and Slovak, as well as to Western publishing houses. He organised the secret transport in both directions – of manuscripts and information to the West and of exiled books and magazines to their home countries. The Czechoslovak Documentation Centre for Independent Literature, founded in the 1980s by a group of exiled cultural workers in West Germany, played a very important role in this field.
A computational process-tracing method for measuring people’s planning strategies and how they change over time

Published: July 2022

One of the most unique and impressive feats of the human mind is its ability to discover and continuously refine its own cognitive strategies. Elucidating the underlying learning and adaptation mechanisms is very difficult because changes in cognitive strategies are not directly observable. One important domain in which strategies and mechanisms are studied is planning. To enable researchers to uncover how people learn how to plan, we offer a tutorial introduction to a recently developed process-tracing paradigm along with a new computational method for measuring the nature and development of a person’s planning strategies from the resulting process-tracing data. Our method allows researchers to reveal experience-driven changes in people’s choice of individual planning operations, planning strategies, strategy types, and the relative contributions of different decision systems. We validate our method on simulated and empirical data. On simulated data, its inferences about the strategies and the relative influence of different decision systems are accurate. When evaluated on human data generated using our process-tracing paradigm, our computational method correctly detects the plasticity-enhancing effect of feedback and the effect of the structure of the environment on people’s planning strategies. Together, these methods can be used to investigate the mechanisms of cognitive plasticity and to elucidate how people acquire complex cognitive skills such as planning and problem-solving. Importantly, our methods can also be used to measure individual differences in cognitive plasticity and examine how different types (pedagogical) interventions affect the acquisition of cognitive skills.
Network meta-analysis in psychology and educational sciences: A systematic review of their characteristics
Authors: Fernández-Castilla Belén , Van den Noortgate Wim
Published: July 2022

Network meta-analysis (NMA) allows the combination of evidence on the effectiveness of several interventions. NMA has mainly been applied in the medical science field, whereas in the domain of psychology and educational sciences its use is less frequent. Consequently, systematic reviews that describe the characteristics of published NMAs are limited to the field of medicine, and nothing is known about the characteristics of NMAs published in the psychology and educational sciences field. However, this information is still relevant for the design of future simulation studies and for detecting good and bad research practices. Thus, this study describes the features of the meta-analytic datasets of NMAs published in the field of psychology and educational sciences, as well as their methodological characteristics, and compares them to those observed in the medical domain. Results show that the number of studies included is larger in NMAs from psychology and educational sciences, the most commonly used effect size is the standardized mean difference (unlike the odds ratio in medicine), the sample size is smaller, more intervention groups are included, and inconsistent effects are observed more often. These results can be used in future simulation studies to generate realistic datasets. Finally, we warn about the poor quality of reporting of some technical aspects of the NMA, such as the statistical model used.
Post-synthesis from Lewis acid–base interaction: an alternative way to generate light and harvest triplet excitons
Authors: Liu Hengjia , Xie Guohua
Published: July 2022

The changes in absorption and emission of fluorescent materials with the introduction of Lewis acids have been frequently observed due to either physical or chemical interactions. In this mini-review, we elaborate how Lewis acids adjust the optical properties and the bandgap of luminescent materials by simple coordination reactions. It is common that fluorescent materials containing Lewis basic nitrogen heterocycles are more likely to provide the feasible band gap modulation. The essence of such phenomenon originates from Lewis acid–base coordination and adducts, which highly depends on the electron-accepting property of the Lewis acids. This intermolecular mechanism, considered as post-synthesis of new luminescent compounds offers promising applications in sensing and electroluminescence by manipulating the frontier molecular orbital energy levels of organic conjugated materials, simply based on Lewis acid–base chemistry.

Similar retrieval strategies will be applied to the other databases mentioned above. We will also search for relevant systematic reviews of using MED for GA and reference lists of eligible studies to improve recall ratio.
Dust Emission as a Function of Stellar Population Age in the Nearby Galaxy M33
Authors: Mallory Kate , Calzetti Daniela , Lin Zesen
Published: July 2022

Dust emission at 8 μm has been extensively calibrated as an indicator of current star formation rate for galaxies and ∼kpc-size regions within galaxies. Yet, the exact link between the 8 μm emission and the young stellar populations in galaxies is still under question, as dust grains can be stochastically heated also by older field stars. In order to investigate this link, we have combined midinfrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope with a published star cluster candidates catalog for the Local Group galaxy M33. M33 is sufficiently close that the Spitzer's 8 μm images resolve individual regions of star formation. Star clusters represent almost-single-age stellar populations, which are significantly easier to model than more complex mixtures of stars. We find a decrease in the 8 μm luminosity per unit stellar mass as a function of age of the star clusters, with a large scatter that is consistent with varying fractions of stellar light absorbed by dust. The decrease and scatter both confirm findings based on more distant galaxies and are well described by simple models for the dust emission of a young stellar population. We conclude that the dust emission at 8 μm depends sensitively on the age of the stellar population, out to at least the oldest age analyzed here: ∼400 Myr. This dependence complicates the use of the 8 μm emission as a star formation rate indicator, at least for small galactic regions and individual star-forming regions. By leveraging the Spitzer legacy, this investigation paves the way for future explorations with the James Webb Space Telescope.

− decays, which are crucial production channels for Ba isotopes in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We calculate, starting from relativistic quantum mechanics, the effects of multichannel scattering onto weak decays, including nuclear and electronic excited states (ESs) populated above ≃10 keV, for both parent and daughter nuclei. We find increases in the half-lives for T > 108 K (by more than a factor of 3 for 134Cs) as compared to previous works based on systematics. We also discuss our method in view of these previous calculations. An important impact on half-lives comes from nuclear ES decays, while including electronic temperatures yields further increases of about 20% at energies of 10–30 keV, typical of AGB stars of moderate mass (M ≲ 8 M
⊙). Despite properly considering these effects, the new rates remain sensitively lower than the Takahashi & Yokoi values, implying longer half-lives at least above 8–9 keV. Our rate predictions are in substantial accord with recent results based on the shell model, and strongly modify branching ratios along the s-process path previously adopted. With our new rate, nucleosynthesis models well account for the isotopic admixtures of Ba in presolar SiC grains and in the Sun.
Generalized Peas in a Pod: Extending Intra-system Mass Uniformity to Non-TTV Systems via the Gini Index
Authors: Goyal Armaan V. , Wang Songhu
Published: July 2022

It has been demonstrated that planets belonging to the same close-in, compact multiple-planet system tend to exhibit a striking degree of uniformity in their sizes. A similar trend has also been found to hold for the masses of such planets, but considerations of such intra-system mass uniformity have generally been limited to statistical samples wherein a majority of systems have constituent planetary mass measurements obtained via analysis of transit timing variations (TTVs). Since systems with strong TTV signals typically lie in or near mean motion resonance, it remains to be seen whether intra-system mass uniformity is still readily emergent for nonresonant systems with non-TTV mass provenance. We thus present in this work a mass uniformity analysis of 17 non-TTV systems with masses measured via radial velocity measurements. Using the Gini index, a common statistic for economic inequality, as our primary metric for uniformity, we find that our sample of 17 non-TTV systems displays intra-system mass uniformity at a level of ∼2.5σ confidence. We provide additional discussion of possible statistical and astrophysical underpinnings for this result. We also demonstrate the existence of a correlation (r = 0.25) between characteristic solid surface density (Σ0) of the minimum-mass extrasolar nebula and system mass Gini index, suggesting that more-massive disks may generally form systems with more-unequal planetary masses.
A Unified Spectroscopic and Photometric Model to Infer Surface Inhomogeneity: Application to Luhman 16B
Authors: Plummer Michael K. , Wang 王 Ji 吉
Published: July 2022

Extremely large telescopes (ELTs) provide an opportunity to observe surface inhomogeneities for ultracool objects including M dwarfs, brown dwarfs (BDs), and gas giant planets via Doppler imaging and spectrophotometry techniques. These inhomogeneities can be caused by star spots, clouds, and vortices. Star spots and associated stellar flares play a significant role in habitability, either stifling life or catalyzing abiogenesis depending on the emission frequency, magnitude, and orientation. Clouds and vortices may be the source of spectral and photometric variability observed at the L/T transition of BDs and are expected in gas giant exoplanets. We develop a versatile analytical framework to model and infer surface inhomogeneities that can be applied to both spectroscopic and photometric data. This model is validated against a slew of numerical simulations. Using archival spectroscopic and photometric data, we infer starspot parameters (location, size, and contrast) and generate global surface maps for Luhman 16B (an early T dwarf and one of our solar system’s nearest neighbors at a distance of ≈2 pc). We confirm previous findings that Luhman 16B’s atmosphere is inhomogeneous with time-varying features. In addition, we provide tentative evidence of longer timescale atmospheric structures such as dark equatorial and bright midlatitude to polar spots. These findings are discussed in the context of atmospheric circulation and dynamics for ultracool dwarfs. Our analytical model will be valuable in assessing the feasibility of using ELTs to study surface inhomogeneities of gas giant exoplanets and other ultracool objects.
Shock Breakout in Three-dimensional Red Supergiant Envelopes
Authors: Goldberg Jared A. , Jiang 姜 Yan-Fei 燕飞 , Bildsten Lars
Published: July 2022

Using Athena++, we perform 3D radiation-hydrodynamic calculations of the radiative breakout of the shock wave in the outer envelope of a red supergiant (RSG) that has suffered core collapse and will become a Type IIP supernova. The intrinsically 3D structure of the fully convective RSG envelope yields key differences in the brightness and duration of the shock breakout (SBO) from that predicted in a 1D stellar model. First, the lower-density “halo” of material outside of the traditional photosphere in 3D models leads to a shock breakout at lower densities than 1D models. This would prolong the duration of the shock breakout flash at any given location on the surface to ≈1–2 hr. However, we find that the even larger impact is the intrinsically 3D effect associated with large-scale fluctuations in density that cause the shock to break out at different radii at different times. This substantially prolongs the SBO duration to ≈3–6 hr and implies a diversity of radiative temperatures, as different patches across the stellar surface are at different stages of their radiative breakout and cooling at any given time. These predicted durations are in better agreement with existing observations of SBO. The longer durations lower the predicted luminosities by a factor of 3–10 (L
bol ∼ 1044 erg s−1), and we derive the new scalings of brightness and duration with explosion energies and stellar properties. These intrinsically 3D properties eliminate the possibility of using observed rise times to measure the stellar radius via light-travel time effects.
Comparison of caddisfly (Insecta, Trichoptera) assemblages from lake and river habitats of the Huron Mountains of Michigan (USA)
Authors: Houghton David C.
Published: July 2022

The caddisfly assemblages of six lakes and 12 1st–4thorder streams of the Huron Mountains of northern Upper Michigan (USA) were sampled monthly with ultraviolet lights during June-September 2019. A total of 169 species representing 63 genera and 19 families was collected, including five species not found elsewhere in Michigan and two species endemic to the state. Species assemblages between lotic and lentic habitats were distinct from each other, with 11 species indicating lakes and 23 indicating rivers. Despite the taxonomic differences, biomass of functional feeding groups (FFGs) was similar between lakes and rivers, except for higher biomass of predators in the former and higher biomass of filtering collectors in the latter. The FFG biomass of both habitat types was dominated (50–70%) by shredders. Considering the undisturbed condition of the habitats, the caddisfly assemblages and FFG biomass of the Huron Mountains can serve as regional biological monitoring reference conditions.
Éthique du numérique et marché

Résumé : Les notions de marché, de numérique et d’éthique semblent a priori étrangères les unes aux autres, néanmoins aucun marché ne peut fonctionner sans un minimum de morale ou d’éthique y compris les marchés du numérique. Le recours à l’éthique du numérique sur ces marchés s’explique en grande partie par les difficultés de régulation de ces derniers. L’éthique by design est ainsi appelée à jouer à un rôle dans la construction des marchés et dans le cadre d’une co-régulation.

Wittgenstein. Ce qui ne peut être que vrai
Authors: Diamond Cora
Published: July 2022

Dans son Introduction au Tractatus de Wittgenstein, Elizabeth Anscombe considérait que le livre avait le défaut d’exclure la proposition « “Quelqu’un” n’est pas le nom de quelqu’un » qu’elle considérait comme évidemment vraie. Ce n’est pas une proposition bipolaire et sa négation n’est pas intelligible. J’examine la question de savoir si elle a raison de dire que le Tractatu s exclut de telles propositions, et je considère son exemple en relation avec d’autres propositions qui, du moins en théorie, n’ont pas de négation intelligible. En considérant le cas particulier de la réponse de Frege à Benno Kerry sur le concept de ‘cheval’, j’essaie de développer une approche de la place que donne la philosophie de Wittgenstein à certains types de proposition qui n’ont pas de négation intelligible.

Published: July 2022

Caterpillars are a favourite traditional food that potentially represents the largest proportion of total animal protein consumed by people in Masi-Manimba, Kwilu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. However, caterpillars are becoming increasingly scarce, with no inventory data existing for this region. This study aims to contribute to the valorisation of edible caterpillars in Masi-Manimba through their inventory and identification. A questionnaire was completed by 212 people representing the four main ethnic groups in the territory and seven peripheral sectors. The caterpillars were collected in 2020 and 2021 in the township. Eighty two species were listed by the four main ethnic groups but only 63 species were scientifically confirmed at least to the family level. The main family was Saturniidae, followed by Notodontidae and Sphingidae. The genusImbrasia is the most represented in the territory. Overall, 46% of caterpillars are found in forests, 19% in savannah, and 35% across multiple habitats. Surveyed people considered 64% of caterpillars to be very tasty. Large numbers were harvested during the rainy season (November and January). Respondents observed that there has been a major decline in caterpillars, with just 22% of species being readily available. Due to this major decline in caterpillars, it is urgent to study their biology and relationship with food plants, to farm them successfully.
Delayed Onset of Peroneal Nerve Palsy After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Young Dylan , Marske Derek , Sharpe Kipling P.
Published: July 2022

Peroneal nerve palsy (PNP) and peroneal nerve dysfunction (PND) are rare complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although PND tends to manifest as transient lateral leg paresthesias that are associated with knee motion, PNP has characteristic motor deficits, including loss of ankle dorsiflexion and eversion strength. Although PND can manifest days, weeks, or months after surgery, delayed cases of PNP have not been well documented. We describe a 72-year-old woman with a delayed case of sudden-onset PNP 10 weeks after TKA. She had no neurologic deficits preoperatively and was recovering uneventfully at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. At 10 weeks, she reported insidious onset of drop foot and sensory changes to the lateral leg and dorsum of the foot. Motor deficits included significant loss of ankle dorsiflexion and eversion strength. After a diagnosis of PNP was confirmed with electrodiagnostic studies and lumbar pathology was ruled out with lumbar magnetic resonance imaging, surgical decompression of the peroneal nerve was performed. By 7 weeks after surgical decompression, she had no sensory deficits and nearly full strength in ankle dorsiflexion and eversion. This case shows that PNP can occur several weeks to months outside of the currently documented timeline. Although PNP is an uncommon risk of TKA, it is important to recognize and treat it when it occurs among patients with significant motor and sensory deficits along the distribution of the peroneal nerve postoperatively.

Effects of a Metacognitive Smartphone Intervention With Weekly Mentoring Sessions for Individuals With Schizophrenia: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Han Mihwa , Lee Kyunghee , Kim Mijung , Heo Youngjin , Choi Hyunseok
Published: July 2022

Application (app)-based interventions using smartphones could provide effective alternatives to traditional treatment programs during and beyond the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The current quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent comparison group tested the effects of a smartphone app-based metacognitive intervention program with weekly mentoring sessions on the meta-cognitive beliefs, psychotic symptoms, and social functioning of individuals with schizophrenia from community psychosocial rehabilitation centers. The study was conducted with 20 participants with severe psychotic symptoms and low social functioning and 24 participants with relatively light psychotic symptoms and good social functioning as a comparison group. For the experimental group, the app-based intervention was combined with weekly contact mentoring sessions over 10 weeks. The comparison group received only the app-based intervention over 10 weekly sessions. No differences were observed between groups' total scores; however, the experimental group showed a tendency toward improved psychotic symptoms and social functioning over time, unlike the comparison group. These findings provide an empirical basis for managing schizophrenia symptoms with smartphone apps. [

Peer champions responses to nudge-based strategies designed to reduce prolonged sitting behaviour: Lessons learnt and implications from lived experiences of non-compliant participants
Authors: Cooley P. Dean , Mainsbridge Casey P. , Cruickshank Vaughan , Guan Hongwei , Ye Anjia , Pedersen Scott J.
Published: July 2022

Occupational sedentariness is problematic for office-based workers because of their prolonged sitting periods and the advent of technology which reduces work-based movement. A common workplace strategy to deal with this preventable health risk is to have workers engage in brief movement breaks throughout the workday. To date, the use of interventions underpinned by individual self-regulation has had less than optimal impact on changing workers sedentary work behaviours. An alternative design for workplace interventions is the use of nudge theory. Nudge theory incorporates strategies that are delivered at the point of choice designed to influence individual decision making regarding alternative behaviour options. In this study, desk-based workers were exposed to two nudge strategies which suggested alternative behaviours of regular standing and taking movement breaks during work periods to the default behaviours of prolonged sitting and sedentary work behaviour. A small group of women managers who served as peer champions (n = 6), withdrew early from the study, and then took part in an exit interview to gain an understanding of their experiences of being exposed to the two nudge strategies. Verbatim transcripts were analysed using inductive, reflexive thematic analysis. Two major themes with seven second order themes central to their experiences were extracted: facilitative behaviour and feelings (advocacy, acceptance & facilitative burden) and dysfunctional behaviours and feelings (dysfunctional behaviour & feelings, control, reactance & presenteeism). Participants initially perceived a positive exchange associated with exposure to nudge strategies. Yet, participants' emotional connection to their work roles and behaviour were perceived as a negative exchange. Participants cited numerous maladaptive feelings because of a perception of incongruency with the established work normative behaviour. These findings reveal that nudge strategies of reduced choice and social norms are viable, but perceptions of monitoring can moderate adherence.
Impact of macroeconomic indicators on bankruptcy prediction models: Case of the Portuguese construction sector
Authors: Sousa Ana , Braga Ana , Cunha Jorge
Published: July 2022

The importance of macroeconomic indicators on the performance of bankruptcy prediction models has been a contentious issue, due in part to a lack of empirical evidence. Most indicators are primarily centered around a company's internal environment, overlooking the impact of the economic cycle on the status of the company. This research brings awareness about the combination of microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. To do this, a new model based on logistic regression was combined with principal component analysis to determine the indicators that best explained the variations in the dataset studied. The sample used comprised data from 1,832 Portuguese construction companies from 2009 to 2019. The empirical results demonstrated an average accuracy rate of 90% up until three years before the bankruptcy. The microeconomic indicators with statistical significance fell within the category of liquidity ratios, solvency and financial autonomy ratios. Regarding the macroeconomic indicators, the gross domestic product and birth rate of enterprises proved to increase the accuracy of bankruptcy prediction more than using only microeconomic factors. A practical implication of the results obtained is that construction companies, as well as investors, government agencies and banks, can use the suggested model as a decision-support system. Furthermore, consistent use can lead to an effective method of preventing bankruptcy by spotting early warning indicators.
Migrant Workers and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evidence from Sri Lankans Abroad
Authors: Weeraratne Bilesha
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the unfair and vulnerable situations endured by migrant workers. This article explores the realities of migrant workers stranded overseas during the pandemic. Focusing on evidence from the experiences of Sri Lankan migrants, it aims to create better policies and frameworks to improve their conditions. This study uses qualitative and quantitative data collected from Sri Lankan migrant workers. The analysis of migrants’ nuanced experiences overseas during the pandemic, in terms of employment outcomes and social and psychological experiences, shows mixed evidence. While the positive experiences are comforting, the negative experiences give direction for further attention.
The Pandemic in the Trentino Asylum Reception System: Subjectivities Lost Within the “Health of the Facility”
Authors: Filosi Noemi , Ioriatti Chiara , Pini Elisa , Serangeli Irene , Storato Giulia
Published: July 2022

This contribution results from research conducted during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores how the restrictions imposed for safety reasons impacted the everyday routines of a group of asylum seekers and beneficiaries of protection hosted in the asylum reception system in the city of Trento, Italy. Drawing on the interviews, the authors enlighten how the “health of the facility” sometimes came at the expense of the health of the individual, reducing their sociability outside the reception facilities and, therefore, their opportunities to develop their paths toward independence.
Začetni tečaj slovenščine in medkulturni dialog pri vključevanju otrok priseljencev
Authors: Vižintin Marijanca Ajša , Kern Boris
Published: July 2022

Prenovljena osnovno- in srednješolska zakonodaja predvideva intenzivni začetni tečaj slovenščine ter individualno spremljanje napredka vključevanja. Na voljo je vedno več didaktičnega gradiva za različno starostno stopnjo otrok, a izzivi ostajajo. Še več jih je pri izvajanju medkulturnega dialoga v okviru pouka. Učni načrti in učna gradiva bi morali odsevati družbeno raznolikost, a so priseljenke in priseljenci, pripadnice in pripadniki manjšin v njih največkrat nevidni ali prikazani pristransko. To je treba spremeniti in tudi njim samim omogočiti, da se predstavijo ter spregovorijo o izzivih vključevanja, o sestavljeni identiteti in o svoji vlogi v družbi.
Načrti o »Tretji slovenski univerzi« kot del odgovorov na izzive bega možganov sedemdesetih in osemdesetih let dvajsetega stoletja
Authors: Lukšič Hacin Marina
Published: July 2022

Tekom štiridesetih let razprav o begu možganov na Slovenskem so se porodile različne ideje o tem, kaj storiti, da bi preprečili dolgoročne negativne družbenoekonomske posledice bega možganov. Predlogi se razpenjajo od ukrepov za omejevanje izseljevanja izobraženega in visoko usposobljenega kadra prek razmislekov o nujnem spodbujanju vračanja do ideje o mednarodnem sodelovanju, ki je bilo v jedru predloga za »Tretjo slovensko univerzo«. Odhajanje bi morali urediti tako, da to ne bi predstavljalo odliva znanja, ampak njegovo oplemenitenje – z organiziranjem transnacionalne mreže, po katerih znanje kroži in se tudi vrača.
Introduction: Migrants and Migration in the Eco-Pan-Syndemic Era
Authors: Della Puppa Francesco , Perocco Fabio
Published: July 2022

In 2021, Dve Domovini / Two Homelands published a special issue entitled The Coronavirus Crisis and Migration (vol. 54), which contained numerous articles on various contexts and specific aspects. Considering the importance of the topic, one year later, Dve Domovini / Two Homelands is devoting a new issue to migration in the pandemic era. In the editorial of issue 54, we analyzed the coronavirus crisis’s origins, characteristics, and social effects. In this editorial, we present an overview of migratory movements and migration policies and the impact on labor and health for immigrants. The current eco-pan-syndemic has produced new elements compared to the pre-COVID era, at the same time consolidating existing phenomena and highlighting old problems. While it has limited, interrupted, and disrupted migratory movements, at the same time, it has deepened the underlying causes of migration by accentuating the need to emigrate.
Consideraciones sobre los mosaicos de las Metamorfosis de Zeus/Júpiter de la Bética
Authors: Vargas-Vázquez Sebastián , López Monteagudo Guadalupe , San Nicolás Pedraz M.ª Pilar
Published: July 2022

En este trabajo se analizan las escenas de los Amores de Zeus/Júpiter representadas en los mosaicos romanos de la Bética, su contextualización espacial y arqueológica, su relación con temas báquicos y la identificación de posibles talleres a través del análisis iconográfico, de las composiciones geométricas y de los elementos decorativos. Se profundiza en la elección del relato y en las particularidades iconográficas y en las formas de representar las distintas escenas del mito, entre las que destaca la ambigüedad, como resultado de los conocimientos artísticos y literarios de los artífices y de los domini y del mensaje que desean transmitir, destacando las diferencias y convergencias con otras zonas de Hispania y del mundo romano en general. Se presta una especial atención a la relación de los temas con los espacios arquitectónicos a los que van destinados, así como con los ámbitos urbanos y rurales. Se llega a la conclusión de que, en líneas generales y pese a un mayor predominio en contextos urbanos, suelen decorar las estancias principales de domus y villae.
Discours des moniteurs sociaux sur leurs pratiques de terrain auprès des demandeurs d’asile en Italie
Authors: Lalli Pina , Giacomelli Elena
Published: July 2022

L’arrivée des migrants a représenté un gros défi pour la société italienne, qui n’a pourtant pas créé un système d’accueil homogène sur le territoire national. À partir d’entretiens réalisés dans l’un des meilleurs systèmes d’accueil local (dans le Trentin, au nord de l’Italie), nous proposons d’analyser deux thématiques centrales des discours de cette communauté de pratiques, qui font émerger le rôle plus ou moins reconnu de l’« entrepreneur moral » au niveau du guichet.
The UN Refugee Agency discourse “called into question”: challenges and forms of politicisation of the refugee cause
Authors: Vallée Odile
Published: July 2022

The “migration crisis” which has placed refugees and migrants on the same migration routes calls the UN Refugee Agency’s discourse into question. This crisis implies “manufacturing a political framing of the untenable” (Angeli Aguiton et al., 2019, p. 15) in support of “crisis exit” interventions which shape the forms of politicisation of the refugee cause. The article draws on the semio-discursive analysis of UNHCR activity reports from 2015 to 2019, from the perspective of argumentation in discourse.
Connecting Learning in Higher Education to Students' Career and Personal Interests
Authors: Darwin Taylor , Walkington Candace , Pruitt-Britton Tiffini
Published: July 2022

This study tested whether a utility value intervention focused on the relevance of math to STEM careers and popular culture interests influenced interest and performance in mathematics. The population studied was college students enrolled in integrated/corequisite algebra courses. In each course, intervention was implemented to see if connecting algebra to careers and personal interests would increase students' mathematical knowledge, math interest, and STEM career interest. There were four conditions: students who wrote algebra problems based on their career interests, students who wrote algebra problems based on their popular culture interests, students who solved algebra problems based on their career interests, and students who received business-as-usual instruction. Posing problems about careers was most beneficial for math learning, while solving problems about careers was most beneficial for math and career interest. Posing interest-based problems allowed for rich discussions to take place in the classroom. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
LGBTQ Students in Higher Education
Authors: Couture Valerie G. , Bang Na Mi
Published: July 2022

This chapter explores what colleges and universities can do to improve institutional support and services for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ). Faculty, student service personnel, and campus administration will gain knowledge of the specific areas where LGBTQ students have additional challenges when compared to their heterosexual, cisgendered peers. The additional challenges from the academic literature included in this chapter are the following: unsupportive campus climates, marginalization in the classroom, increase in mental health needs, academic and career concerns, and unequal access to safe and supportive physical spaces. Implications for best practices will be summarized based on research and on the experiences of campuses which have employed more progressive campus policies and practices to assist in the retention and achievement of LGBTQ students.
