Published: July 2022

The looming health shock of coronavirus could have disastrous impacts on the continent’s already strained health systems, and could quickly turn into a social and economic emergency. This paper, therefore, intends to assess the effects of coronavirus on Africa economies. (using its growth implication) Based on the endogenous growth theoretical approach, the link between life expectancy, poverty incidence, and economic growth was estimated using the GMM technique of analysis with 32 selected Africa countries. Findings showed that coronavirus exhibited negative and substantial impact on socio-economic situation and macroeconomic variables in Africa such as inflation, unemployment, poverty rate and economic growth, amongst others. The result ascertained that the government expenditure significantly increased during the period in a bid to curb the pandemic, but household welfare degenerated and was negatively affected with high poverty rate, this paper recommended that the government of the Africa countries should diversify the revenue base of their economies to cushion the effect of unprecedented shock due to the pandemic and provide adequate relief materials to pad the effect of loss of income to the poor and vulnerable, support in the implementation of structural reforms to enable them to build capacity and generate sufficient domestic resources or fiscal buffers to effectively manage pandemics.
Electricity Market and Energy Policies Uncertainties for Investment in Life Time Operation of Nuclear Power Plants
Authors: Tomšić Željko , Rajšl Ivan
Published: July 2022

In the electricity sector, market participants must make decisions about capacity choice in a situation of radical uncertainty about future market conditions. Electricity sector is characterized by non-storability and periodic and stochastic demand fluctuations. Capacity determination is a decision for the long term, whereas production is adjusted in the short run. Today decisions pertaining to investment in new capacity or life time extension are surrounded by considerable uncertainties about the future economics of the projects. One reason is that in a deregulated market private investors typically have to bear a greater portion of the investment risk compared to a monopoly utility in a regulated market. This favours flexible investment alternatives with short-lead times and low capital requirements. Moreover, energy and climate policy – with feed-in tariffs for RES or green certificate system and the EU CO2 ETS may add to investment uncertainties. From the economic point of view, the costs of LTO are usually lower than the construction of any other source of electricity. But in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident, policies towards nuclear energy in some countries were changed. Because of that economic life decisions are plant specific. In evaluating the future economic prospects of existing plant, the owners/utility focus on the unique circumstances of that plant and its cost and performance, and the future demand for electricity, and value of electricity. Nevertheless, quantification of the LTO costs is not an easy task. It is recognized that LTO costs are highly dependent on specific conditions related to each NPP, such as: design of the plant; NPP operating history including ageing conditions; regulatory requirements; full or partial replacement of components; refurbishment for LTO; accounting methodologies; etc. The risks that may have an impact on the economic case for the long term operation of NPP should be identified with pre mitigation impact and probability assessment.

It is important for Croatia to include NPP Krško in comprehensive hazard assessment. This article will present hazard assessment based on calculations using RODOS. Real-time weather prepared by Croatian National Weather Service and collected by the State Office for Radiological and Nuclear Safety over the years will be used. Scenario resulting in the large release from the NPP will be analysed. Results from hundreds of calculations will be statistically analysed and compared to the current protection zones in Croatia around the NPP Krško.
Possibilities of Reliable Ultrasonic Detection of Subwavelength Pipework Cracks
Authors: Hrabar Ivan , Petošić Antonio , Franček Petar , Budimir Marko
Published: July 2022

An occurrence of cracks in pipework could lead to potentially very dangerous malfunction in some critical engineering systems such as power plants. There is a clear trend of replacing traditional manual testing with non-invasive in-situ methods that should detect crack formation in its early stage. Such as approach would enable replacing of unhealthy pipe components during the regular periodic outages. Ultrasonic testing is known to be a rather mature and reliable technology. However, it suffers from serious problems in detection of the cracks of subwavelength size. This paper attempts to soften aforementioned problems by investigating the influence of a duration of the unipolar excitation signal on the achieved resolution. In addition, the transducer input electricalimpedance of NDT transmitter was measured by using different excitation pulses and their levels and the results are compared with those obtained using traditional frequency sweeping method at low excitation levels. Finally, use of some advanced signal processing algorithms that might lead to the automatic detection of subwavelength voids, in scenarios with low signal-to-noise ratio, is discussed.

Published: July 2022

This work presents the results of radiation shielding calculations using modified point kernel code QAD-CGGP. The modification includes a new approach to neutron buildup factor estimations based on machine learning technique called Support vector regression (SVR). SVR neutron buildup factor models for common shielding materials are developed and built into the QAD-CGGP. The development of the models consisted of acquiring the data to be used for learning the model, optimizing the SVR parameters, and application of active learning methods for improving the learning process. The modified code is tested, and the results are compared with the MCNP6 results.
Basic Relation between RAW and RRW and Some of Its Implications on Risk Reduction Strategies
Authors: Vrbanić Ivan , Bašić Ivica , Pranab K. Samanta
Published: July 2022

In using risk-informed approaches for ensuring safety of operating nuclear power plants (NPPs), risk importance measures obtained from probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) of the plants are integral elements of consideration in many cases. In PSA models and applications associated with NPPs the risk importance of a particular feature (e.g. function, system, component, failure mode or operator action) can be, most generally, divided into two categories: importance with respect to risk increase potential and importance with respect to risk decrease potential. The representative of the first category, as used for practical purposes, is Risk Achievement Worth (RAW). Representative of the second category, as mentioned in consideration of risk importance, is Risk Reduction Worth (RRW). It can be shown that the two risk importance measures, RAW and RRW, are dependent on each other. The only parameter in this mutual dependency is probability of failure of the considered feature. The paper discusses the relation between RAW and RRW and some of its implications, including those on the general strategies for the reduction of risk imposed for the operation of the considered facility. Two general risk reduction strategies which are considered in the discussion are: a) risk reduction by decreasing the failure probability of the considered feature; and b) risk reduction while keeping the failure probability of the considered feature at the same level. Simple examples are provided to illustrate the differences between two strategies and point to main issues and conclusions.

Tertiary care hospital is a large health care set up which is always engaged in emergency and non-emergency cases. Present study is an observational study done on the patients who visited Jayabharath hospital. This mainly depicts the present patient understanding levels regarding his health status. The study is carried out for the period of four months in the out- patient department. Many of the people visiting the hospital are low at understanding levels. In the present scenario hypertension, diabetes, alcoholism, depression etc are the most prevailing diseases which require regular follow-ups to check for the disease progress. These are the condition which requires regular medications alas! Patients are non-adherent. The reason behind decreases adherence is lack of patient counseling and lack of time which is mandatory in the health care system earlier patients used to get diagnosed and receive medications and return to their homes without proper counseling. And now after the establishment of counseling set up each and every patient is counseled. In the total of 5154 patients 3499 female patients and 1655 male patients approached for patient counseling and benefited with the counseling provided. In these patients 4126 patients are non-adherent and 1028 are adherent .After counseling many of the people themselves came forward to check their progress and got counseled on each of their next visits. Patients are given space to discuss their health problem and got counseled accordingly. Each patient is counseled on various grounds about disease, drugs, life style modifications, diet for their condition. After counseling the status of patient’s adherence improved that total 3074 patients showed adherence to the given medications. Patient counseling is a major requirement for the public to for better understanding and good therapeutic outcome.

The Foundation and Nature of Traditional African Morality: A Review of Selected Literature.
Authors: Amoah Richmond Osei , Peprah Augustine Kojo
Published: July 2022

A plethora of questions are asked when discussing moral issues concerning traditional African societies. Common among them are, is African morality dependent on religion only or has its foundation solely on the society, and what is the nature of the traditional African morality? These questions when answered would solve the myriad of ethical issues inherent in the African Traditional Religion. This article looks at the foundation and the nature of traditional African morality. The article establishes theocentric, communalistic, anthropocentric, utilitarian and shame-oriented as the nature of the traditional African morality. It fills the gap that both God and humanity are the foundations of African morality. The authors reviewed selected literature from various scholars. The paper also affirms that God and human society are the foundation of traditional African morality. It recommends that the theocentric and anthropocentric elements of African ethics must be brought together to have a true nature and source of the traditional African morality. This article seeks to contribute to the debate on the nature and foundation of traditional African morality.

The 3D-Drift And SHift (3D-DASH) program is a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 F160W imaging and G141 grism survey of the equatorial COSMOS field. 3D-DASH extends the legacy of HST near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy to degree-scale swaths of the sky, enabling the identification and study of distant galaxies (z > 2) that are rare or in short-lived phases of galaxy evolution at rest-frame optical wavelengths. Furthermore, when combined with existing ACS/F814W imaging, the program facilitates spatially resolved studies of the stellar populations and dust content of intermediate redshift (0.5 < z < 2) galaxies. Here we present the reduced F160W imaging mosaic available to the community. Observed with the efficient DASH technique, the mosaic comprises 1256 individual WFC3 pointings, corresponding to an area of 1.35 deg2 (1.43 deg2 in 1912 when including archival data). The median 5σ point-source limit in H
160 is 24.74 ± 0.20 mag. We also provide a point-spread function (PSF) generator tool to determine the PSF at any location within the 3D-DASH footprint. 3D-DASH is the widest HST/WFC3 imaging survey in the F160W filter to date, increasing the existing extragalactic survey area in the near-infrared at HST resolution by an order of magnitude.

Published: July 2022

Binary evolution leads to the formation of important objects that are crucial for the development of astrophysics, but the statistical properties of binary populations are still poorly understood. The LAMOST-MRS has provided a large sample of stars to study the properties of binary populations, especially for the mass-ratio distributions and binary fractions. We have devised a peak amplitude ratio (PAR) approach to derive the mass ratio of a binary system based on results obtained from its spectrum. By computing a cross-correlation function, we established a relation between the derived mass ratio and the PARs of the binary systems. By using spectral observations obtained from LAMSOT DR6 and DR7, we applied the PAR approach to form distributions of the derived mass ratio of the binary systems to the spectral types. We selected the mass ratio within the range of 0.6−1.0 to investigate the mass-ratio distribution. Through a power-law fitting, we obtained power index γ values of −0.42 ± 0.27, 0.03 ± 0.12, and 2.12 ± 0.19 for the A-, F-, and G-type stars identified in the sample, respectively. The derived γ-values display an increasing trend toward lower primary star masses, and G-type binaries tend to be twins more frequently. The close binary fractions (for P ≲ 150 days and q ≳ 0.6) in our sample for A, F, and G binaries are 7.6% ± 0.5%, 4.9% ± 0.2%, and 3.7% ± 0.1%, respectively. Note that the PAR approach can be applied to large spectroscopic surveys of stars.
The Gamma-Ray Emission from the Supernova Remnant RX J1713.7-3946 Interacting with Two-phase Medium
Authors: Fujita Yutaka , Yamazaki Ryo , Ohira Yutaka
Published: July 2022

We study the origin of gamma-rays from the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946. Using an analytical model, we calculate the distribution of cosmic rays (CRs) around the SNRs. Motivated by the results of previous studies, we assume that the SNR is interacting with two-phase interstellar medium (ISM), where dense clumps are surrounded by tenuous interclump medium. We also assume that only higher-energy protons (≳TeV) can penetrate the dense clumps. We find that π
0-decay gamma-rays produced by protons reproduce the observed gamma-ray spectrum peaked at ∼TeV. On the other hand, it has recently been indicated that the observed ISM column density (N

p
), the X-ray surface brightness (I

X
), and the gamma-ray surface brightness (I

g
) at grid points across the SNR form a plane in the three-dimensional (3D) space of (N

, I

X
, I

g
). We find that the planar configuration is naturally reproduced if the ISM or the CR electron-to-proton ratio is not spherically uniform. We show that the shift of the observed data in the 3D space could be used to identify which of the quantities, the ISM density, the CR electron-to-proton ratio, or the magnetic field, varies in the azimuthal direction of the SNR.
Radiative Turbulent Mixing Layers and the Survival of Magellanic Debris
Authors: Bustard Chad , Gronke Max
Published: July 2022

The Magellanic Stream is sculpted by its infall through the Milky Way’s circumgalactic medium, but the rates and directions of mass, momentum, and energy exchange through the stream-halo interface are relative unknowns critical for determining the origin and fate of the Stream. Complementary to large-scale simulations of LMC-SMC interactions, we apply new insights derived from idealized, high-resolution cloud-crushing and radiative turbulent mixing layer simulations to the Leading Arm and Trailing Stream. Contrary to classical expectations of fast cloud breakup, we predict that the Leading Arm and much of the Trailing Stream should be surviving infall and even gaining mass due to strong radiative cooling. Provided a sufficiently supersonic tidal swing-out from the Clouds, the present-day Leading Arm could be a series of high-density clumps in the cooling tail behind the progenitor cloud. We back up our analytic framework with a suite of converged wind-tunnel simulations, finding that previous results on cloud survival and mass growth can be extended to high Mach number (

and longer growth time. We also simulate the Trailing Stream; we find that the growth time is long (approximately gigayears) compared to the infall time, and approximate Hα emission is low on average (∼ a few milliRayleigh) but can be up to tens of milliRayleigh in bright spots. Our findings also have broader extragalactic implications, e.g., galactic winds, which we discuss.

Authors: Imelda Fatwa , Tarigan Mula , Santosa Heru
Published: July 2022

Cervical cancer is a disease that most commonly suffered by women of 30-50 years old which is caused by human papillomavirus infection. Indonesia women's awareness to carry out cervical cancer early detection regularly is low because of lack of knowledge, including risk factors, prevention, and common misconception stating that Pap Smear and VIA tests are taboo and embarrassing. This study is aimed to identify the influence of WhatsApp educational information communication (WEIC) on knowledge and attitudes of early cervical cancer detection program. A quasi-experiment was used in this study with one group pretest-posttest. Fifty women of childbearing age were selected by purposive sampling. The research instrument used a knowledge and attitudes questionnaire on a smartphone that was already installed with WhatsApp. The result of pretest-posttest on knowledge was analyzed using paired sample t-test and obtained p=0.000 (p<0.05) and attitudes pretest-posttest obtained p=0.000 (p<0.05). It can be concluded that there were statistically significant differences between knowledge and attitudes prior and after WEIC is given.

Authors: Sutanto Yusup Subagio , Harti Agnes Sri , Puspawati Nony , Sutanto Magdalena
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Research on galenic bioactive compounds as antimicrobial agents needs to be developed. Durian peel ethanol extract is a polar polysaccharide consisting of D-galacturonic acid with -1,4 glycosidic bonds and can form a polysaccharide gel. Chitosan can be synthesized through the deacetylation of chitin as a compound (1.4)-2 amino-2deoxy D-glucopyranose and can form a gel in 1.5–2% acetic acid. The properties of chitosan are biodegradable, non-toxic, polycationic antimicrobial, and biocompatible. AIM: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the ethanolic extract of PG durian peel and CG as antimicrobial agents. METHODS: The research design was an experimental study and conducted at the Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Health, Setia Budi University, Surakarta, in August–December 2020. The research stages were the extraction of durian skin polysaccharides, bioformulation of PG durian peel extract and CG, and antimicrobial activity testing using the diffusion method. RESULTS: The results showed PG durian peel ethanolic extract concentration (100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 1.5%, and CG 1.5% %) or a combination of durian peel extract PG (1.5%) and CG (1.5%) 1:1 ratio; 1:2; 2:1 was antimicrobial against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhi ATCC 13311, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. PG durian peel ethanolic extract concentration of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 1.5%, and CG 1.5% or a combination of durian peels ethanolic extract PG (1.5%) and CG (1.5%) ratio 1:1; 1:2; and 2:1 as an antimicrobial in vitro. CONCLUSION: PG durian peels ethanolic extract concentration 100% showed optimum effectiveness as an antimicrobial against B. subtilis ATCC 6633. Chitosan 1.5% showed optimal effectiveness as an antimicrobial against P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The effectiveness of the mixture of PG 1.5% and CG 1.5% ratio 1:2 showed optimum effectiveness against all test cultures.

Dans le cadre des travaux psychanalytiques contemporains sur la transmission psychique inconsciente, le recours à la pratique de l’arbre généalogique est source d’enseignements cliniques précieux pour dégager des hypothèses de compréhension psychodynamiques. L’article propose une réflexion méthodologique sur le dispositif de la « Libre-Réalisation de l’Arbre généalogique » ( lra g) associée à la présentation d’une grille de lecture originale permettant d’attirer l’attention clinique sur des indices graphiques signifiants, potentiellement sources de sens. Il insiste sur la nécessité de considérer aussi de façon complémentaire, l’écoute du discours du sujet et l’observation de la situation transféro-contre/transférentielle. L’intérêt de la lra g comme dispositif à médiation projective est, dans le même temps, soulignée.

Cet article présente une analyse du phénomène d’institutionnalisation d’une politique participative de l’ESS dans une perspective néo-institutionnelle. L’auteure s’interroge sur les modalités d’évolution des logiques institutionnelles qui caractérisent une politique de type public value  – approche par la valeur publique (AVP). Ce questionnement est saisi empiriquement par l’étude de cas de la politique Pôle Territorial de Coopération Économique (PTCE), visant la polarisation territoriale de l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS). L’étude montre que la logique institutionnelle fondatrice du dispositif s’efface progressivement au profit d’une nouvelle logique que l’auteur qualifie d’« importée ».

Les travaux sur les fondations d’entreprise dans un contexte français sont peu nombreux. Or les fondations d’entreprise constituent non seulement un bailleur et un partenaire potentiel des acteurs de l’économie sociale et solidaire, mais aussi un acteur de l’intérêt général. Sur la base d’entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de 20 structures, les auteures proposent une contribution à la connaissance des fondations d’entreprise en France. Ces organisations se révèlent être un acteur souple, s’adaptant en permanence à des contraintes internes et externes fluctuantes, se ménageant la possibilité de s’extraire de ces contraintes en prenant du recul, en redéfinissant son rôle, voire en participant à la définition de l’intérêt général.

Ne pas dire la sexualité
Authors: Toffel Kevin , Braizaz Marion
Published: July 2022

Alors que la sexualité constitue l’un des aspects de la qualité de vie les plus problématiques pendant et après un cancer, les soignant·e·s peinent à aborder cette thématique avec les patient·e·s. Notre enquête menée auprès d’infirmier·e·s exerçant au sein de services d’oncologie révèle que loin des préceptes de l’« approche globale », valeur centrale du rôle infirmier qui implique la prise en charge des patient·e·s dans l’intégralité de leur rapport à la santé, l’abord de la sexualité est rare. Si plusieurs éléments contribuent à ce tabou ( e.g. les conditions de travail, le manque de formation), nos résultats montrent que la compréhension des socialisations hors travail ( e.g. familiale, religieuse) et des biographies affectives et sexuelles des soignant·e·s est particulièrement féconde pour saisir ses tenants. Les propensions à parler de sexualité sont indissociables des dispositions sociales façonnées sur une longue durée qui influent la manière dont les individus investissent leur rôle de professionnel·le de santé.

Modeling the effect of random diagnoses on the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Tuwairqi Salma M. , Al-Harbi Sara K.
Published: July 2022

Saudi Arabia was among the countries that attempted to manage the COVID-19 pandemic by developing strategies to control the epidemic. Lockdown, social distancing and random diagnostic tests are among these strategies. In this study, we formulated a mathematical model to investigate the impact of employing random diagnostic tests to detect asymptomatic COVID-19 patients. The model has been examined qualitatively and numerically. Two equilibrium points were obtained: the COVID-19 free equilibrium and the COVID-19 endemic equilibrium. The local and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium points depends on the control reproduction number $ \mathcal{R}_{c} $. The model was validated by employing the Saudi Ministry of Health COVID-19 dashboard data. Numerical simulations were conducted to substantiate the qualitative results. Further, sensitivity analysis was performed on $ \mathcal{R}_{c} $ to scrutinize the significant parameters for combating COVID-19. Finally, different scenarios for implementing random diagnostic tests were explored numerically along with the control strategies applied in Saudi Arabia.
Dietary Patterns Suggest West Virginia Bobcats Are Generalist Carnivores
Authors: Landry Stephanie M. , Roof Jordan E. , Rogers Richard E. , Welsh Amy B. , Ryan Christopher W. , Anderson James T.
Published: July 2022

The proportion and diversity of prey species consumed by bobcats Lynx rufus are often correlated with prey abundances, individual skill level, environmental conditions, and habitat quality. Bobcats generally consume prey species that rely on mast—the fruits of trees—for basic life-history requirements. In West Virginia forests, many mast-producing tree species have declined over the past 40 y, yet the last known study on bobcat diet in the state was in 1977. Thus, we need current data to understand the effects of forest compositional changes on bobcat dietary patterns. We evaluated stomach contents of 300 bobcats collected over the 2014–2015 (n = 150) and 2015–2016 (n = 150) hunting and trapping seasons in West Virginia. Simpson's index of diversity indicated an 87% probability that two randomly selected prey items belong to different species, supporting the idea of bobcats as generalist carnivores. White-tailed deer (hereafter deer) Odocoileus virginianus (32%), mice and rats (families Cricetidae, Dipodidae, and Muridae; 30.7%), rabbits (family Leporidae; 21.3%), Virginia opossum Didelphis virginiana (18.7%), and squirrels (family Sciuridae; 17.3%) occurred most frequently. We found 92% dietary overlap between sexes and 35% between stage classes. Deer, opossum, and raccoon Procyon lotor occurred more frequently in males, whereas rabbits occurred more frequently in females. Deer occurred more frequently in adults; raccoons in yearlings; and mice and rats in juveniles. Overall occurrence of deer (−17.1%), rodents (order Rodentia; −9.5%), opossum (+13.5%), and raccoon (+5.1%) differed significantly between the 1977 study and this study, which may allude to changes in the abundance of mast-dependent prey species over time. Similarly, hard mast (i.e., nuts) production had a significant interaction effect with study season on the overall occurrence of squirrels in bobcat diets. By improving our understanding of bobcat trophic interactions, we can better manage their populations and ecological communities by managing for the dietary requirements of their common prey species.

Comment refonder la démocratie après le nazisme ? Par où commencer dans un pays rasé, occupé et divisé ? Sur quelle expérience s’appuyer ?
En 1945, une poignée d’hommes et de femmes politiques aguerris, ayant survécu à la guerre et aux persécutions, entreprit de rebâtir les institutions. Ce livre retrace le parcours de trente-quatre fondateurs de la démocratie ouest-allemande, députés élus au Reichstag avant 1933 et au Bundestag après 1949. Leur expérience de l’effondrement en 1933 et de la dictature nazie les mua en démocrates attentifs et favorisa leur engagement après 1945. Leurs récits entremêlés offrent une lecture inédite du tumultueux XXe siècle allemand. Ils témoignent de la continuité de la tradition démocratique allemande par-delà le nazisme.
Cet ouvrage intéressera toutes celles et tous ceux qui s’interrogent sur la culture politique outre-Rhin, mais aussi sur la fragilité constitutive de la démocratie.
La Jeune critique des petites revues symbolistes
Authors: Vérilhac Yoan
Published: July 2022

L’extraordinaire développement de la petite presse littéraire qui a accompagné le mouvement symboliste est un phénomène remarquable de l’histoire littéraire. Laboratoire d’expérimentation pour les esthétiques d’avant-garde, mais aussi véritable invention médiatique, la petite revue constitue une appropriation des pratiques journalistiques, de la critique littéraire au premier chef. Quel rôle la critique périodique peut-elle jouer dans l’inscription de la littérature dans la modernité ? quel emploi constitue celui de critique en regard de celui d’artiste ? Au moment où les écrivains semblent considérer de la façon la plus radicale que l’avènement de l’ère médiatique porte en soi la mort de la littérature, la figure du jeune critique de revue émerge : lutteur intolérant, chroniqueur inlassable de l’actualité artistique et de la vie moderne, il s’impose comme l’interlocuteur indispensable du pur poète et comme une voix essentielle dans le système de communication littéraire qui se met en place dans les vingt dernières années du XIXe siècle.
La peau des femmes
Authors: Galliot Sébastien , Paama-Pengelly Julie , Gray Julia Mage’au
Published: July 2022

Bien que revalorisé et réapproprié plus tardivement que les autres performances culturelles et formes d’art précoloniales océaniennes comme la danse, la sculpture ou la musique, le tatouage a rempli des fonctions similaires au sein des mouvements de décolonisation et d’indépendance qui ont émergé dans le Pacifique à partir des années 1960. Les spécificités techniques et les répertoires graphiques propres à cette région ont été d’abord portés par des praticiens polynésiens et euro-américains, d’une part en tant qu’élément central de la mise en valeur des patrimoines culturels océaniens et d’autre part comme source d’inspiration pour le développement artistique du tatouage occidental. Bien que toujours minoritaires, les praticiennes autochtones ont inévitablement contribué à transformer le rapport des femmes à une forme de marquage sur la peau qui était jusque-là au moins partiellement au service d’institution sociales tournées vers la reconduction des assignations de genre.Ce portfolio élaboré avec Julie Paama Pengelly et Julia Mangeau Grey (deux tatoueuses et activistes culturelles océaniennes) propose de mettre en lumière la trajectoire professionnelle et les effets de l’entrée de femmes dans une activité et des réseaux de transmission très largement androcentrés.
Paradigm Shift
Authors: Kavan Bruce , Goel Lakshmi
Published: July 2022

The pandemic has accelerated the rate of change for knowledge workers from the traditional office work environment to a more remote or digital environment. In the “resignation era,” more than money, people are looking for more flexibility and control over their lives. All these factors seem to suggest a trend towards a hybrid model or virtualization in the workforce. This suggests that we need to view knowledge workers as nodes on a network, capable of accomplishing appropriate outcomes from virtually anywhere. This requires different recruitment, management, and leadership styles to better utilize the power of networking. This networked approach to knowledge work transcends geo-political boundaries which will shift employment into a more global ecosystem not just with business processing organizations (BPOs) but also into individual entrepreneurs. This extension of the ecosystem thus provides access or expands the pool of skilled knowledge workers without regard to the source of talent, relocation expense, or immigration quotas.
The Empty Signifier in Ethnic Identity Negotiation
Authors: Dachs Ofer Dekel , Fletcher Kathy-Ann
Published: July 2022

This chapter challenges the ethnic identity understanding as a homogenic construct that group members share based on their position in the acculturation process. The authors claim this understanding is based on a false notion of individual identity. Taking a cue from Hall and Laclau and Mouffe, the authors claim that ethnic identity is not a reflection of a fixed, natural state of being, but a process of becoming. Therefore, drawing on components of identity as a means of market segmentation, beyond the level of the individual consumer within a given the moment, becomes a redundant exercise. To illustrate the argument, they share with the reader research with a second-generation British-South Asian and describe their identity negotiation and self-perception. They make a call to marketers to avoid the reliance on fixed concepts of identity and shift their focus to strategies that accommodate more complex and fluid understandings of identity construction.
Marketing
Authors: Opute Abdullah Promise , Jawad Caroline , Jiang Xi
Published: July 2022

Competing effectively in the contemporary marketplace is becoming increasingly challenging. For marketers, therefore, understanding consumer behaviour is a critical factor in achieving effective marketing strategy. Grounded in that behaviour viewpoint, this chapter seeks to contribute to the understanding of cultural identity and marketing implications. To achieve that target, three core steps are taken in this chapter. First, the motivation for this chapter is explained. Second, culture is explained and the central artefacts of culture relevant to this chapter highlighted. Thereafter, the consumer behaviour influence of cultural identity is discussed, and acculturation, driving factors, and consumer behaviour influence explained. In the final part of this chapter, recommendations for marketers are offered and directions for future research suggested.
The Legend of the Kola-Nut
Authors: Ojo Sanya
Published: July 2022

The chapter introduces and elaborates the ritual construct as a vehicle for interpreting consumer behavioural patterns by illustrating multifaceted manipulation of an everyday product with the attendant generation of communal imaginaries. It draws on a mundane material (kola-nut) to elucidate the characters and meanings of the transactions among individuals, groups, and deities in the context of the Nigerian multi-ethnic society. The kola-nut, through its consumption, becomes ritualised and generates varied sensitivities that encapsulates forms of restrictions which prevent full inclusion in the society. The chapter employs frameworks of Foucault and Bourdieu to assist in highlighting how the social life might be ordered within multiple realities, how the realities are socially constructed through practises, and the reflexivity of interpretations of social settings, realities, and consumptions. Implications for marketing is revealed in how metaphysical relationships could be incorporated into consumption praxes.
Multiculturalism, Materialism, and Young Consumer Misbehaviour in Developing Countries
Authors: Shambare Richard , Nkwazi Jurina Wadalisa , Rukuni Tarisai Fritz , Gogodo Joyleen , Shambare Jane
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this chapter is to explore some unique perspectives of young consumer misbehavior within the context of developing countries. The challenges of marketing to young consumers are explored by first deconstructing the needs of young consumers in developing countries. In doing so, the growing effect of technology and social media are considered. In particular, the chapter directs its attention on the meaning of consumer misbehavior within developing countries. Second, the triggers of consumer misbehavior are highlighted. Of these, multiculturalism and materialism have proved to be among the greatest triggers of young consumer misbehavior in emerging economies' markets. A major contribution of this chapter is that it brings to light the discourse of young consumer misbehavior from non-Western settings, which is largely underreported in the mainstream marketing literature.

Authors: Shambare Richard , Gogodo Joyleen , Musengi Daniel , Ndlovu Njabulo
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this chapter is to advance the knowledge about vulnerable consumers, especially in the context of developing countries. The chapter, therefore, maps out the various forms of vulnerabilities in financial markets in developing countries. Thereafter, a conceptual framework defining consumer vulnerability is presented. In conclusion, the chapter proposes some strategies to alleviate the challenges of consumer vulnerability. To advance these arguments, the chapter discusses the question of consumer vulnerability in the financial services markets in developing countries using South Africa as a case study.
Classroom Teachers and Reflection
Authors: Krebs Marjori Maddox , Torrez Cheryl
Published: July 2022

The authors present the results of a qualitative descriptive study of the experiences of K-12 educators enrolled in a Master of Arts in Education degree focused on reflective practice (MARP). This MA pathway was developed around theoretical frameworks of andragogy and transformative education. The key research question for this study is, “How have participants transformed their teaching and student learning as a result of participation in MARP?” Research sub-questions are the following: How do participants' definitions of “reflective practice” change over time? How do participants use their classrooms as laboratories for implementing classroom-based inquiry? How have participants experienced transformation of teaching and learning because their participation? How do participants now teach for social justice in their classrooms? Findings indicate that by focusing on reflective practice, studying their practice, improving their craft, and assisting and learning from colleagues, experienced teachers have a greater impact on students and transform their professional lives.
The Value of International Partnerships in Preparing Teachers
Authors: Klee Sherie , Lash Martha , Brennan Sharon , Boyd Lynda J.
Published: July 2022

Schools and colleges of education are preparing teachers to teach in a world that is much more connected than ever before. The teachers prepared for tomorrow's classrooms will need the knowledge and skills to serve a more diverse population of students. Thus, universities responsible for the training of teachers must respond to new needs when preparing those teachers for success by creating culturally conscious teachers. Through the development of an international consortium, preservice teachers can be immersed in culturally diverse teaching experiences, thereby offering them first-hand experience in the development of the skills needed to teach all students in a globally diverse environment. This chapter explores the development of the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching (COST), including the perspectives of sending sites, receiving sites, and student participants, as well as suggestions for the creation of similar programs designed to meet the need to produce culturally conscious teachers.
Effects of Racial and Ethnic Matching of Teacher Candidates of Color With Mentors
Authors: Levay Kevin , Scheib Carrianne , Grossman Tabitha
Published: July 2022

This chapter reviews the limitations of current teacher preparation programs to support the professional development and placement of teachers of color and their resulting underrepresentation relative to the racial makeup of the U.S. student population. The authors discuss how teacher residency programs can more effectively support the development and preparation of teachers of color through their most defining feature: the pairing of residents with mentor teachers for a rigorous year-long clinical experience. The authors examine how sharing a racial identity with mentors has statistically significant effects on mentors' perceptions of residents' preparedness to teach and residents' satisfaction with their programs. The authors highlight how teacher preparation programs, and residencies specifically, might better support the development and preparation of teachers of color through strategic design of teacher candidates' clinical experiences. They also posit ways in which preparation programs can disrupt ongoing racism and racial inequities in teacher preparation.
