Geometric Data Analysis (GDA) - an alternative approach to the analyses of gender differences
Authors: Hansen Claus D.
Published: November 2018

The aim of this paper is threefold: First, the criticism of quantitative methods raised by feminist and gender researchers is reiterated and illustrated using gender differences in job attribute preferences as an example. Second, the paper compares this ‘standard quantitative methods’ approach to Geometric Data Analysis (GDA), an approach that e.g. makes use of principal components analysis. I argue that GDA breaks with many of the problematic features of traditional statistics by being multi-dimensional (as opposed to one-dimensional), having a statistical model formulated at the individual level (as opposed to treating individuals as mere ‘residuals’) and visualising the results (as opposed to just presenting the results exclusively in numbers). Third, the empirical analyses from the first part of the paper are then used as an example and analysed again, thereby introducing the basic concepts and principles which comprise GDA. Data used in the paper stem from the study Youth on the margin where a sample of young men and women from the North Denmark Region were asked to fill out a battery of job attribute preferences among other things. This is an important topic because such preferences are widely thought to be closely related to the continuing segregation of the Danish labour market.
Determinants of women´s health in Europe: using large open data collections to unveil the hidden part of the iceberg
Authors: Cantarero-Arévalo Lourdes
Published: November 2018

Open data collections can be powerful, providing democratic tools to illustrate women’s health across Europe. This article discusses the benefits offered by the large volume of open-access data in comparison with access-restrictive big data, and provides an overview of the main databases publically available which gather sex-disaggregated data information, as well as of their strengths and limitations (The World Health Organization European Health for All database, EUROSTAT, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation – Global Burden of Disease data and OECD data). Examples are provided to illustrate the outcomes that can be obtained from the different databases, with special emphasis on the socioeconomic determinants of women’s health (education, income and wealth, employment and place of residence) in the European Region. Open online data collections accessible to all can be used as tools to argue in favour of not only the implementation of health-care policies, but also social and economic policies aimed at improving women’s health in Europe. However, open-access online data collections have certain drawbacks worth considering such as the need for continuous monitoring and updating, ensuring the reliability of data provided by all countries, and guaranteeing that individuals cannot be identified through links between clinical and socioeconomic data.
Nonhuman and Human 'Victims' and 'Perpetrators': Intra-active InSecurity Becomings of the Ebola Outbreak
Authors: Ammann Theresa
Published: November 2018

Although feminist theory and security studies have long criticized post-war gendered meta-narratives that categorize people as either victims or perpetrators based on their (imagined) insecurities, these criticisms have mainly focused on the agency of humans, but have dismissed nonhuman entities as irrelevant. This article explores this binary by assessing the victim- and perpetrator-hood dynamics of nonhuman and human matter during the Ebola outbreak in Liberia. Drawing on Karen Barad’s agential realism, I assess these dynamics by means of three vignettes of inSecurity becoming in peri-urban Liberia. The vignettes are based on ethnographic fieldwork, individual and focus-group interviews, and solicited diaries. This agential realist exploration provides the following new insights into understandings of victim- and perpetrator-hood: (1) nonhuman entities can emerge as victims and perpetrators; (2) victim- and perpetrator-hood are not exclusive states of existence but relational processes of intra-actively emerging becomings; and (3) both insecurity and security emerge concurrently through the entangled becoming of victim and perpetrator. These insights require further research to reconsider concepts such as intentionality, responsibility and ethics in discussions of war, post-conflict justice and humanitarian and peacebuilding efforts.
A Gesture Life as Traumatic Heteroglossia
Authors: Klinke Julie
Published: November 2018

Traumatic narratives differ from traditional ones by defying chronological structure. Often, victims of trauma are unable to recall their trauma, and it is then present in their narratives only symptomatically. This article argues that the structure of A Gesture Life lends itself to an interpretation based on trauma theory. The narrator, Hata, is revealed as traumatized through an analysis of his evasive voice, the counter-narratives presented by other characters, and the novel’s disjointed chronology. It is concluded that like victims of trauma, Hata seeks to make up for the absence of the events that caused him to become traumatized through a fictional narrative. However, through the intrusion of his trauma and through the voices of K and Sunny, who both oppose the narrative he attempts to confine them in, his narrative is ultimately revealed as a method of repression to both himself and the reader.
How Wonderful is Wonderland?
Authors: Kristensen Nathalie Keighley
Published: November 2018

This MA thesis seeks to investigate negative emotions and their function in children’s literature from an evolutionary standpoint. Insights from evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology are used to build an evolutionary framework that is then used in a literary analysis that shows how negative emotions are evoked in literature, and what adaptive purpose(s) they have. The main argument is that we feel strong emotions when engaging in story because storytelling has an adaptive function, and that this function is to provide us with low-risk, vicarious input that can be employed as a future guide for behaviour. This argument explains not only the human proclivity for producing and consuming art, but also why we generally feel pleasure and satisfaction when engaging in stories, no matter the form they take.

Course designs in Meebook’s course builder: analysis of 102 course designs
Authors: Graf Stefan Ting , Gissel Stig Toke , Slot Marie Falkesgaard
Published: November 2018

In this article, we present the first systematic study of how teachers design courses in the newly implemented digital learning platforms in Denmark. The study is based on the collection and double coding of the 102 most downloaded course designs in the learning platform Meebook. The descriptive data is analysed in the light of Meebook’s affordances, previous research and didactical theory. Our analysis focusses on the three main intentions of the introduction of learning platforms for K9-schools. This concerns firstly the use of learning objectives and their assessment, secondly the use of the platform in relation to the intention of sharing teacher-created course designs and thirdly the question of how teachers deal with the integration of multimodal learning materials in the course design. On one hand, the course builder in Meebook seems to affect teachers’ course designs strongly, and on the other hand, the course builder does not facilitate didactical reasoning and coherence. The results of the study have potential implications for platform designers, local school authorities and headmasters who deal with the implementation of platforms as well as teachers that daily use such course builders for teaching and the students’ learning.
Tidligere språkstart
Authors: Bjørke Camilla , Grønn Berit
Published: November 2018

Med utgangspunkt i et nasjonalt prosjekt initiert av norske utdanningmyndigeter i årene 2010-2012 tar vi i denne artikkelen for osstidligere start med fremmedspråk på barnetrinnet. Prosjektet vektla en praktisk-kommunikativ tilnærming til målspråkene. Her belyses, hvilke konsekvenser tidligere språkstart kan ha for elevenes læringsog utviklingsprosess i et femårig perspektiv, fra de startet med fransk, spansk eller tysk på 6. trinn (11 år) til de gikk på 10. trinn (15 år) og skulle starte på videregående skole. Dette inkluderer også, hva elevene opplevde som betydningsfullt og relevant, i språklæringsprosessen og generelt, deres refleksjoner rundt oppnådd kompetanse i overgangen fra barneskole til ungdomsskole og dernest til videregående skole, bevissthet om eget læringsforløp og læringsstrategier samt holdninger til språk og læring. Det empiriske materialet består av en kvalitativ intervjuundersøkelse fra 2015 som inkluderer 60 elever tre år etter prosjektslutt i 2012.
Regularity of Villadsen algebras and characters on their central sequence algebras
Authors: Christensen Martin S.
Published: November 2018

We show that if $A$ is a simple Villadsen algebra of either the first type with seed space a finite dimensional CW complex, or of the second type, then $A$ absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially if and only if the central sequence algebra of $A$ does not admit characters.Additionally, in a joint appendix with Joan Bosa (see the following paper), we show that the Villadsen algebra of the second type with infinite stable rank fails the Corona Factorization Property, thus providing the first example of a unital, simple, separable and nuclear $C^\ast $-algebra with a unique tracial state which fails to have this property.
Hardy inequalities for the Heisenberg Laplacian on convex bounded polytopes
Authors: Ruszkowski Bartosch
Published: November 2018

We prove a Hardy-type inequality for the gradient of the Heisenberg Laplacian on open bounded convex polytopes on the first Heisenberg group. The integral weight of the Hardy inequality is given by the distance function to the boundary measured with respect to the Carnot-Carathéodory metric. The constant depends on the number of hyperplanes, given by the boundary of the convex polytope, which are not orthogonal to the hyperplane $x_3=0$.
Some drawbacks of finite modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities
Authors: Miclo Laurent
Published: November 2018

Classically, finite modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are used to deduce a differential inequality for the evolution of the relative entropy with respect to the invariant measure. We will check that these inequalities are ill-behaved with respect, on one hand, to the symmetrization procedure, and on the other hand, to the umbrella sampling procedure for Poincaré inequalities. A short spectral proof of the latter method is given to estimate the spectral gap of a finite reversible Markov generator $L$ in terms of the spectral gap of the restrictions of $L$ on two subsets whose union is the whole state space and whose intersection is not empty.
Infinite weighted graphs with bounded resistance metric
Authors: Jorgensen Palle , Tian Feng
Published: November 2018

We consider infinite weighted graphs $G$, i.e., sets of vertices $V$, and edges $E$ assumed countably infinite. An assignment of weights is a positive symmetric function $c$ on $E$ (the edge-set), conductance. From this, one naturally defines a reversible Markov process, and a corresponding Laplace operator acting on functions on $V$, voltage distributions. The harmonic functions are of special importance. We establish explicit boundary representations for the harmonic functions on $G$ of finite energy.We compute a resistance metric $d$ from a given conductance function. (The resistance distance $d(x,y)$ between two vertices $x$ and $y$ is the voltage drop from $x$ to $y$, which is induced by the given assignment of resistors when $1$ amp is inserted at the vertex $x$, and then extracted again at $y$.)We study the class of models where this resistance metric is bounded. We show that then the finite-energy functions form an algebra of ${1}/{2}$-Lipschitz-continuous and bounded functions on $V$, relative to the metric $d$. We further show that, in this case, the metric completion $M$ of $(V,d)$ is automatically compact, and that the vertex-set $V$ is open in $M$. We obtain a Poisson boundary-representation for the harmonic functions of finite energy, and an interpolation formula for every function on $V$ of finite energy. We further compare $M$ to other compactifications; e.g., to certain path-space models.
The depth and LS category of a topological space
Authors: Félix Yves , Halperin Steve
Published: November 2018

The depth of an augmented ring $\varepsilon \colon A\to k $ is the least $p$, or ∞, such that \begin {equation*} \Ext _A^p(k , A)\neq 0. \end {equation*} When $X$ is a simply connected finite type CW complex, $H_*(\Omega X;\mathbb {Q})$ is a Hopf algebra and the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $L_X$ of primitive elements. It is known that $\depth H_*(\Omega X;\mathbb {Q}) \leq \cat X$, the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of $X$.

For any connected CW complex we construct a completion $\widehat {H}(\Omega X)$ of $H_*(\Omega X;\mathbb {Q})$ as a complete Hopf algebra with primitive sub Lie algebra $L_X$, and define $\depth X$ to be the least $p$ or ∞ such that \[ \Ext ^p_{UL_X}(\mathbb {Q}, \widehat {H}(\Omega X))\neq 0. \] Theorem: for any connected CW complex, $\depth X\leq \cat X$.
CARTESIAN SUBJECTS LOST IN THE ALPS REFLECTIONS ON RUBEN ÖSTLUND’S FORCE MAJEURE
Authors: Johansson Sven Anders
Published: November 2018

The article analyses the constitution of subjectivity in Ruben Östlund’s film Force Majeure (2014). At the centre of attention stands the male protagonist who is uncapable of reconciling his inner nature with the external expectations. If the film may be un- derstood as a critique of existing middle-class conventions, it also reproduces a highly conventional ideal of the self-identical subject. The article argues that this confusion or irony is an expression of a Cartesian subject – still prevalent in the film – in crisis. A neglected aspect of Descartes’ theory is that the autonomy of the subjects presupposes the existence of God. The problem for Östlund’s char- acters is that there is no God. Still, they act as if he, or as if any au- thority might, legitimize their subjectivity. Thus, the whole existence becomes a series of performances. The idea of an inner nature cor- responds with the notion of an outer nature. The latter is certainly very present in Force Majeure, but at the same time this nature is constantly problematized. On an allegorical level, the film may thus be read as a comment on the Anthropocene, a state where we no longer know neither what “nature”, nor “culture” is.
ESSAY: THE KUNSTWOLLEN OF THE SCIENTIFIC ERA AND ALOIS RIEGL’S STIMMUNG
Authors: Vassiliou Konstantinos
Published: November 2018

Alois Riegl’s essay “Die Stimmung als Inhalt der modernen Kunst” (1899) has been one of art historiography’s early attempts to bridge art and science. In this text, Riegl not only presents the background of some of his theoretical and methodological premises but he also provides an overarching argument for the way natural sciences af- fect modern spectatorship. In this way, he establishes the basis of a Kunstwollen for the ‘age of the natural sciences’ and describes its appropriate artistic traits. Addressing the intellectual and historical context of the Stimmung Essay, this article shows how Riegl’s ideas work in a subtle and intricate manner, involving the combination of sensual and phenomenological observations to modes of knowl- edge. In this respect, the relation of art and science does not seem to be settled on a fixed contemplative basis but on the combination of the art with cognition and affects.
THE PROMISE OF THE INDEX IN CONTEMPORARY DOCUMENTARY PERFORMANCE
Authors: Gade Solveig
Published: November 2018

This essay investigates the troubled status of the concept of the index and its concomitant notion of evidence within the context of a global, visual culture. Specifically, the essay centres on the notion of the index in an era, where the use of digital images claiming to truthfully represent war and conflict has become an increasingly important part of warfare. Focusing on two documentary works by respectively performance artist Rabih Mroué and visual artist Abu Lawrence Hamdan (Forensic Architecture), the article shows that whilst both artists rely on material documents, which in each their way index back to conflictual events, the crucial point is not so much the status of the evidentiary material per se. Instead, enabled by fictitious strategies, the artists invite us to pay attention to the differing statuses and meanings assigned to documents depending on the particular knowledge systems and spaces of appearance within which they are perceived. In this way, the essay argues, the works of Mroué and Hamdan help us move beyond the discourses within documentary theory, which tend to conform to either a postmodernist relativist position or a realist epistemology.
Fusing the Fictional and the Real in the Contemporary Performing Arts
Authors: Orel Barbara
Published: November 2018

The exploration of the relationship between the fictional and the real in projects by ViaNegativa, a performance group from Slovenia, is based on the presumption that therecognition of what we experience as fictional or real is decisively influenced by the perceptualactivity of the spectator. The article argues that the exchange between the elements of fictionand reality takes place in two different concepts of representation: theatricality and absorption.These are two opposing notions used for defining the relationship between the imagerepresented and the spectator. Theatricality is the effect of the address that the image makes tothe spectators and thus makes them conscious of their own act of perceiving. Absorption, inturn, describes the context in which the image is put to view as a closed, self-sufficientsign-system establishing such conditions of perception that make the spectator focuscompletely upon the object represented; the audience is so overcome by the presented imagethat they experience this as if they were absorbed into the staged world. These two concepts areelaborated on the basis of Denis Diderot's essays on theatre and fine art. The essay provesuseful for the argumentation of the thesis since they testify that theatricality and absorption,each in their own way, include the spectator's personal investment into what comes across asfictional or real. A detailed analysis of selected performances by Via Negativa shows that thereal assuch (i.e. theauthenticity of the real that isconfirmed in the identity with its own self)is impossible to achieve. Under the gazeof the spectator, the real is always compelled to revealitself through some kind of representation. As also found by Alain Badiou, the authenticity ofthe real can only be presented through the role of semblance, mask or fiction.
Institutional and artistic changes in Estonian performing arts with a case study of Vaba Lava / Open Space
Authors: Pesti Madli , Reidolv Kristiina
Published: November 2018

The article gives an insight into the theatre system of Estonia, the development of the system in the turmoil of history and the current situation in the 21st century.

The first part of the article looks back at the period of 30 years: what happened with the Estonian theatre system when it moved from the Soviet occupation period into the Republic of Estonia. We show the developments in the funding system of theatres during the big changes in the socio-economic environment. We give an insight into how theatres are funded nowadays: how the funding of public and private theatres is connected with the quantitative (the number of premieres, performances and visits to the theatre) and qualitative (nominations, awards and artistic tendencies) results.

The second part of the article is a case study. We introduce a new type of performing arts organization in the Nordic and Baltic countries – Vaba Lava (Open Space) in Tallinn, which is funded as a PPP (public private partnership) in cooperation between the private and the public sector. Vaba Lava offers an open platform to all private theatres and companies offering them both a stage for performing as well as support services. The core of the Vaba Lava programme is its International Curated Programme. Performances of the programme are selected by a team of curators, who announce an International Open Call. The projects are selected from the applications submitted to the competition. We show how this kind of theatre is adapting to the funding system and what kind of performance strategies and working practices have been developed. We analyse what are the main artistic ideas of the international programme that also gives voice to underprivileged people talking about socially relevant themes.

The general research questions of the article are: how Estonian theatre has developed during the last decades and how it is adapting to the prevailing financial system? What kind of performance strategies and working practices have been developed and how do the economic conditions affect the artistic outcome?
Path Dependency in Theatre Funding
Authors: Einasto Heili , Lagle Evelin
Published: November 2018

Estonian contemporary dance emerged in the early 1990s outside established theatre institutions. Since then, it has existed in a project-based format, which means that though dance artists can receive funding for preparing projects, there is no financial support for facilities needed for everyday practice outside or between the projects. The type of venues available for practicing contemporary dance has an impact on choreographic practice presented for the public, even if that dimension often remains invisible.Funding policy, like other policies, is greatly affected by the historical legacy of a particular policy (that is, path dependent), and the same can be claimed about choreographic practice. Therefore, in order to understand why a certain policy or practice prevails and is resistant to change even if it becomes problematic, it is necessary to look at the beginning of the path. In the present article, the history of theatre and dance funding in Estonia is taken as an example to discuss how that history affects the present in terms of choices by dance practitioners. Though Estonia is taken as an example, the situation is far from unique and therefore can serve as a case for analyzing similar situations in other countries.
From Institutional Fatigue to Creative Communication
Authors: Staniškytė Jurgita
Published: November 2018

A considerable decreasing number of visitors to artistic and cultural institutions, which in certain European countries has dropped 50%, the unfavourable demographic situation, receding public finances, the growing competitive ability of user-oriented, interactive entertainment industries, and the new technology sector, which is especially disturbing for artistic institutions in post-Soviet countries, where they are used to limit competition – these are the major issues that are forcing the decision makers of cultural politics to focus their attention on art audiences at the topmost institutional level. In the context of these transformations, the concept of audience development, denominated by Nobuko Kawashima “a conflicting term” almost two decades ago, is becoming even more complex. Placed at the centre of the political and financial agenda of the European Union (EU) by its cultural policy makers, it is, on the one hand, born out of the desire to place part of the financial burden of support for cultural institutions on the shoulders of the public, but on the other hand, it also signals the wish to shake up the passive European citizen, to activate his/her civic sense through artistic practices, or even to help “combat social exclusion”. The article focuses on the theoretical and practical implications as well as the effectiveness and limitations of various forms of audience development employed by publicly funded theatres in Lithuania. Empirical research is based on qualitative interviews with managers and art directors of Lithuanian theatre companies as well as focus group audience research. The larger questions about the possible outcomes of various audience development strategies – whether during these developments, Lithuanian theatres will become places of creative cooperation open to diverse audiences or simply fields of aggressive marketing – will be addressed as well.
Staging Henrik Ibsen’s and Jon Fosse’s Mental Landscapes
Authors: Sidiropoulou Avra
Published: November 2018

Norway’s best-known contemporary playwright Jon Fosse has often been compared to Henrik Ibsen, no less because of the two dramatists’ common emphasis on their native physical landscape as a mirror of the protagonists’ emotional and existential conflict. In Ibsen’s The Lady from the Sea (1888) and in Fosse’s Someone is Going to Come (1996) in particular, characters and actions – although generated within specific geographical and cultural co-ordinates – rise to the level of archetypes and acquire timeless significance.This comparative study traces a continuum from the modernist Ibsen to Fosse’s humanistic postmodernism in so far as the authors’ treatment of psychology, structure, and landscape exposes ideas and endorses themes and images, which in turn account for similar patterns of staging. In a context whereby myth and allegory are projected against a background defined by the ocean and unfamiliar horizons, the markedly schematic representation of existential dread in both plays reveals strong visual conceits that are uncannily similar to the effect that one cannot really read or direct Fosse without making a mental note of Ibsen’s drama. The “haunted” nature of the spectator’s experience notwithstanding, both texts seem to be a director’s ideal material, hosting the natural environment so intensely so that it becomes an extension of the characters, punctuating the important stations in their lives and adding emotional and sensory texture to their words and their actions. From the point-of-view of a theatre director, decoding the plays’ imagistic identity becomes primarily an immersive experience in the Nordic landscape – of both nature and the mind.
Morfologi på mellemtrinnet
Authors: Juul Holger , Nielsen Anne-Mette Veber , Daugaard Hanne Trebbien
Published: November 2018

En stor del af ordforrådstilegnelsen i løbet af skoletiden menes at foregå under selvstændig læsning (Cunningham 2005). Tilegnelse af nye ord kan blandt andet ske hvis man ved at genkende ordenes morfologiske bestanddele når frem til sandsynlige betydninger. Det er derfor oplagt at skoleelevers ordtilegnelse kan styrkes gennem undervisning i morfologisk analyse (Baumann m.fl. 2003). Med dette sigte har vi i et igangværende projekt udviklet et eksperimentelt undervisningsforløb til elever på mellemtrinnet. Vigtige spørgsmål har været hvad morfologiundervisning specifikt skal handle om hvis danske elever skal have udbytte af den: Møder elever på mellemtrinnet overhovedet morfologisk komplekse ord i selvlæste tekster? Hvad er det typisk for kompleksitetstyper de møder? Og er ordene semantisk transparente? Vi søgte svar ved at undersøge 359 såkaldte kategori 2-ord (Beck og McKeown 1985) fra tekster til mellemtrinnet. Kategori 2-ord er et oplagt fokus fordi de udgør et mellemlag mellem det mest basale ordforråd og domænespecifikke ord. Vi fandt at 85 % af ordene var morfologisk komplekse, og at afledninger (specielt suffiksafledninger) var den dominerende type. Vi vurderede cirka en tredjedel af ordene som semantisk transparente, og endnu en tredjedel som delvis transparente. På baggrund af disse resultater beskrives hovedelementerne i det undervisningsforløb vi udformede.

Passing Glasses
Authors: Due Brian Lystgaard , Trærup Johan
Published: November 2018

Passing an object is an everyday action with which most people are familiar. It involves detailed organizations of the body within a spatial and material setting. One place where objects are continuously passed is at the optician. Based on more than 700 hours of video recordings at 11 Danish opticians, this article shows how passing glasses is accomplished in an institutional context where the optician is interactionally constructed as responsible for securing the safe passing and avoiding the (problematic) drop. The paper contributes to EMCA studies on passings by showing how these actions may display deontic responsibilities, and how the passings are accomplished mainly by the optician using a specific grip, relying on tactile experiences, constantly monitoring the customer behaviour, and embodily anticipating next actions.
Inhabiting spatial video and audio data: Towards a scenographic turn in the analysis of social interaction
Authors: McIlvenny Paul
Published: November 2018

Consumer versions of the passive 360° and stereoscopic omni-directional camera have recently come to market, generating new possibilities for qualitative video data collection. This paper discusses some of the methodological issues raised by collecting, manipulating and analysing complex video data recorded with 360° cameras and ambisonic microphones. It also reports on the development of a simple, yet powerful prototype to support focused engagement with such 360° recordings of a scene. The paper proposes that we ‘inhabit’ video through a tangible interface in virtual reality (VR) in order to explore complex spatial video and audio recordings of a single scene in which social interaction took place. The prototype is a software package called AVA360VR (‘Annotate, Visualise, Analyse 360° video in VR’). The paper is illustrated through a number of video clips, including a composite video of raw and semi-processed multi-cam recordings, a 360° video with spatial audio, a video comprising a sequence of static 360° screenshots of the AVA360VR interface, and a video comprising several screen capture clips of actual use of the tool. The paper discusses the prototype’s development and its analytical possibilities when inhabiting spatial video and audio footage as a complementary mode of re-presenting, engaging with, sharing and collaborating on interactional video data.
Kroppen i socialpædagogisk arbejde
Authors: Engen Mie
Published: November 2018

Denne artikel handler om de processer – og udfordringer – der er forbundet med at drage omsorg for andre menneskers kroppe, og deres betydning for både professionelle og omsorgsmodtagere. Den bygger på en sociologisk undersøgelse af, hvordan kropslige, interaktive processer og magtrelationer mellem beboere og medarbejdere i botilbud for mennesker med udviklingshæmning udfolder sig i forbindelse med hjælp til dagligdagsopgaver som at stå op om morgenen og få tøj på, bade osv. Denne form for kropsarbejde, som involverer direkte kropslig kontakt med beboeren, er en overset og ubeskrevet del af det socialpædagogiske arbejde, som lægger beslag på både faglige, tidsmæssige og følelsesmæssige ressourcer. Den gode udførelse i situationer, som rummer både sårbarhed, urovækkende elementer og grænseproblematikker, er langt fra en selvfølge.

The impact of torture on mental health in the narratives of two torture survivors
Authors: De la Rie Simone M. , Bos Jannetta , Knipscheer Jeroen , Boelen Paul A
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Torture survivors risk developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as other mental health problems. This clinical case study describes the impact of torture on two survivors who were treated for their PTSD with Narrative Exposure Therapy.

Methods: The reports of the narratives of two torture survivors were qualitatively analyzed. It was hypothesized that torture yields overaccommodating cognitions, as well as mental defeat, which in turn, are related to severity of psychological complaints.

Results: Both patients have experienced an accumulation of traumatic events. The psychological and physical torture they experienced lead to increased anticipation anxiety, loss of control and feelings of hopelessness, as well as overaccommodating cognitions regarding self and others.

Conclusions: Cognitions, culture and beliefs, as well as issues of confidence and a more long-term perspective affect therapeutic work. Building trust, pacing the therapeutic process, and applying tailor-made interventions that focus on cognitions regarding self-esteem, trust in relationships, as well as safety and control are warranted.

Satisfaction of trauma-affected refugees treated with antidepressants and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Authors: Buhmann Caecilie Böck , Carlsson Jessica , Mortensen Erik Lykke
Published: November 2018

Purpose: This study seeks to evaluate the satisfaction of trauma-affected refugees after treatment with antidepressants, psycho-education and flexible Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) including trauma exposure.

Material and methods: A treatment satisfaction questionnaire was completed by patients at the end of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing treatment with CBT and antidepressants. A patient satisfaction score was developed based on the questionnaire, and predictors of satisfaction were analysed in regression models. Telephone interviews were conducted with patients dropping out of treatment before the end of the trial.

Results: In total, 193 trauma-affected refugees with PTSD were included in the study. Patients were overall satisfied with flexible CBT including exposure treatment in cases where this was part of the treatment. There was no statistically significant association between treatment outcome and satisfaction and satisfaction and treatment efficacy were independent of each other. The results showed that bi-cultural patients who had lived in Denmark for more than a decade were satisfied with the treatment based on a western psychotherapy model.

Discussion: Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and flexible CBT, including trauma exposure, is acceptable for trauma-affected refugees. More studies are needed to evaluate patient satisfaction with western psychotherapy models in refugee patients who have recently arrived and to compare satisfaction with alternative treatment models.

It never happened to me, so I don’t know if there are procedures”: identification and case management of torture survivors in the reception and public health system of Rome, Italy
Authors: Spissu Caterina , De Maio Gianfranco , Van den Bergh Rafael , Ali Engy , Venables Emilie , Burtscher Doris , Ponthieu Aurelie , Ronchetti Mario , Mostarda Narciso , Zamatto Federica
Published: November 2018

Background: Access and linkage to care for migrant torture survivors is contingent on their identification and appropriate referral. However, appropriate tools for identification of survivors are not readily available, and the (staff of) reception systems of host countries may not always be equipped for this task. This study explores practices in the identification and case management of torture survivors in the reception structures and in the public health sector in Rome, Italy.

Method: Data were analysed manually and codes and themes generated.

Results: A non-homogeneous level of awareness and experience with torture survivors was observed, together with a general lack of knowledge on national and internal procedures for correct identification of torture survivors. Identification and case management of torture survivors was mainly carried out by non-trained staff. Participants expressed the need for training to gain experience in the identification and management of torture survivors’ cases, as well support and increased resources at both the reception and public health system levels.

Conclusions: The crucial process of identification and prise en charge of survivors of torture among migrant and refugee populations is relegated to nontrained and inexperienced professionals at different levels of the reception system and public health care sector, which may carry a risk of non-identification andpossible harm to survivors. Additional resources and structured interventions are urgently needed, in the form of developing procedures, training, and adapted multidisciplinary services.
De l’informe de Bataille à l’excommunication de Galloway : perspectives intermédiales sur le théâtre du Long XXe siècle
Authors: Larrue Jean-Marc
Published: November 2018

L’idée d’informe que développe Georges Bataille dans les années 1920, en marge du mouvement surréaliste et en lien avec lui, relève de ce qu’on pourrait assimiler à une poétique de l’inexprimé. Il n’existe pas d’illustrations satisfaisantes ni de définition claire de l’informe chez Bataille, mais les questions qu’il soulève sont fondamentales et touchent au coeur même des processus de création. L’une des hypothèses que défend « De l’informe de Bataille à l’excommunication de Galloway : perspectives intermédiales sur le théâtre du Long XXe siècle » est que cette quête de l’informe pourrait être un des facteurs qui provoquent les dynamiques de remédiation décrites par Bolter et Grusin (1999). Toutefois, les ultimes avancées en intermédialité et, plus largement, dans le champ de la pensée de la médiation, ouvrent d’autres perspectives, qui transcendent la logique communicationnelle traditionnelle. L’informe relèverait donc plutôt de ce que Galloway (2013) appelle l’excommunication.
Tuer l’oeuvre dans l’oeuf : dés-écritures du plateau
Authors: Ouellet Anne-Marie
Published: November 2018

Cet article propose d’observer comment certains créateurs de la scène contemporaine travaillent à maintenir leur oeuvre dans un informe, un « à venir » (Blanchot, 1959), qui ouvre un champ illimité de constructions fictionnelles. Selon l’hypothèse défendue, par le recours au procédé de minoration (Deleuze, 1979), qui consiste à affaiblir ou à retirer volontairement un ou des éléments constituants de l’oeuvre, les trois oeuvres étudiées appelleraient une participation plus active du spectateur dans sa réception. Blind Cinema (2015), de Britt Hatzius, s’appuie sur un principe de masquage. The Pyre (2013), de Gisèle Vienne, retire le texte de la représentation pour enfouir la fiction dans les corps des interprètes. La chambre sonore de la maladie de la mort (2018), de L’eau du bain, parie sur une écriture scénique au conditionnel qui s’interdit d’affirmer un récit.
Molecular interplay between organisms by phylogenetic profiling
Authors: Sferra Gabriella , Ponzi Marta , Pizzi Elisabetta
Published: November 2018

In recent years, several computational methods have been developed to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs) at a genome-wide level. Between them phylogenetic profiling is routinely used to infer PPIs occurring within an organism. Recent improvements of the methods rely on the usage of large genomic datasets and on the distance correlation, a correlation-based measure, as novel measure of profile similarity. Here we adapted the robust improved phylogenetic profiling strategy to predict PPIs occurring between organisms. Specifically, we inferred PPIs occurring in the host-parasite system of Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, and the human erythrocyte, in which the parasite performs an asexual reproduction and that is responsible of the greatest part of the parasitosis symptoms. By applying the method we could predict host-host, erythrocyte-erythrocyte and host-erythrocyte PPIs. As proof of principle, we demonstrated that the phylogenetic profiling can be extended to predict interactions that not necessarily are performed by proteins belonging to the same organism.

Cell walls play an important role in the structure and morphology of plants as well as stress response, including various biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the comprehensive analysis of genes involved in cellulose synthase have been performed in model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, information regarding cellulose synthase-like (Csl) genes in maize is extremely limited. In this study, a total of 56 members of Csl gene family were identified in maize genome, which were classified into six subfamilies. Analysis of gene structure and conserved motif indicated functional similarities among the ZmCsl proteins within the same subfamily. Additionally, the 56 ZmCsl genes were dispersed on 10 chromosomes. The expression patterns of ZmCsl genes in different tissues using the transcriptome data revealed that most of ZmCsl genes had a relatively high expression in root and tassel tissues. Moreover, the expression profiles of ZmCsl genes under drought and re-watering indicated that the expression of ZmCsl genes were mainly responsive to early stage of drought stress. The protein-protein interaction network of ZmCsl genes proposed some potential interacted proteins. The data presented a comprehensive survey of Csl gene family in maize. The detailed description of maize Csl genes will be beneficial to understand their structural, functional, and evolutionary features. Importantly, we have described the differential expression profiles of these members across different tissues and under drought. This information will provide an important foundation for studying the roles of these ZmCsl genes in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
The CryoEM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosome maturation factor Rea1

The biogenesis of 60S ribosomal subunits is initiated in the nucleus where rRNAs and proteins form pre-60S particles. These pre-60S particles mature by transiently interacting with various assembly factors. The ~5000 amino-acid AAA+ ATPase Rea1 (or Midasin) generates force to mechanically remove assembly factors from pre-60S particles, which promotes their export to the cytosol. Here we present three Rea1 cryoEM structures. We visualise the Rea1 engine, a hexameric ring of AAA+ domains, and identify an α-helical bundle of AAA2 as a major ATPase activity regulator. The α-helical bundle interferes with nucleotide-induced conformational changes that create a docking site for the substrate binding MIDAS domain on the AAA +ring. Furthermore, we reveal the architecture of the Rea1 linker, which is involved in force generation and extends from the AAA+ ring. The data presented here provide insights into the mechanism of one of the most complex ribosome maturation factors.
Rotavirus VP3 targets MAVS for degradation to inhibit type III interferon expression in intestinal epithelial cells

Rotaviruses (RVs), a leading cause of severe diarrhea in young children and many mammalian species, have evolved multiple strategies to counteract the host innate immunity, specifically interferon (IFN) signaling through RV non-structural protein 1 (NSP1). However, whether RV structural components also subvert antiviral response remains under-studied. Here, we found that MAVS, critical for the host RNA sensing pathway upstream of IFN induction, is degraded by the RV RNA methyl- and guanylyl-transferase (VP3) in a host-range-restricted manner. Mechanistically, VP3 localizes to the mitochondria and mediates the phosphorylation of a previously unidentified SPLTSS motif within the MAVS proline-rich region, leading to its proteasomal degradation and blockade of IFN-λ production in RV-infected intestinal epithelial cells. Importantly, VP3 inhibition of MAVS activity contributes to enhanced RV replication and to viral pathogenesis in vivo. Collectively, our findings establish RV VP3 as a viral antagonist of MAVS function in mammals and uncover a novel pathogen-mediated inhibitory mechanism of MAVS signaling.
Признаки избыточности в падежной системе русского языка: трудности с усвоением окончаний и синкретизм падежных форм

В данной статье мы анализируем функцию падежных окончаний в русском языке с помощью двух лингвистических экспериментов. Целью первого является выяснить, насколько хорошо русскоязычные, проживающие в Финляндии (как носители языка,  так и те, для кого русский язык не является родным, но владеющие им на высоком уровне), понимают, к какому падежу или числу принадлежит слово в том случае, если правильная форма является омофоном с хотя бы одной другой грамматической формой. Второй эксперимент призван ответить на вопрос, нужны ли падежные окончания носителям русского языка, чтобы определить синтаксические связи между словами. Полагаясь на результаты первого эксперимента, мы утверждаем, что категория числа в восприятии носителей языка более развита, чем падеж; а результаты второго эксперимента предполагают, что в случае падежного синкретизма, другие факторы влияют на определение синтаксических связей между словами внутри предложения. In this article we analyze the function of case endings in the Russian language by means of two linguistic experiments. In the first one we aim to discover how well Russian speakers living in Finland (native speakers and non-natives highly proficient in the language) understand which case or number a word belongs to when the correct word form is homophonous with at least one other form. The second experiment seeks to answer the question of whether native Russian speakers need case endings to be able to distinguish syntactic connections between words. The results of the first experiment show that the category of number is more developed than the category of case in the perception of the native speakers, while the second experiment suggests that in the event of case syncretism other factors influence the identification of syntactic connections between the words in a sentence.
