Reconceptualizing Sexual Harassment in Egypt: A Longitudinal Assessment of el-Taharrush el-Ginsy in Arabic Online Forums and Anti-Sexual Harassment Activism
Authors: Abdelmonem Angie
Published: May 2020

This paper examines shifting conceptualizations of sexual harassment, or el-taḥarrush el-ginsy, in Egypt. Through longitudinal data from online Arabic discussion boards and blog sites, as well as insights from interviews and participant observation of anti-sexual harassment organizations, it explores the range of meanings evident in the use of the term taḥarrush. A comparative approach was employed to assess changes in Egyptian discourses with those taking place across the region. Online data was collected using the search terms “taḥarrush ginsy” and “taḥarrush.” Google served as the primary search engine to locate discussion and blog posts from the years 2000-2012. Through this method, 233 unique posts were identified focused on el-taḥarrush el-ginsy. The data showed overwhelming public concern in the region about the molestation and rape of children until 2006. In October 2006, a shift occurred in Egyptian posts, tied to the Eid mob sexual harassment that took place in downtown Cairo. From that point on, taḥarrush in Egypt signified the sexual harassment of women in public space. Prior to the Eid mob sexual harassment event, the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights had begun a campaign to end everyday sexual harassment in the streets, which it called taḥarrush. Following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, this activism continued with independent initiatives focused on community-based work, such as HarassMap. Throughout this time, the discourse was complicated by the connection of taḥarrush to more violent forms of sexual assault and rape, which was further evident following the Revolution. This connection of taḥarrush with more sexually violent practices aligns with prior meanings of taḥarrush, but it has also contributed to public resistance to the idea that taḥarrush signifies everyday sexual harassment that anti-sexual harassment initiatives seek to establish.

Authors: Ghali Ali. J. , Al-shaheen Sajida A.
Published: May 2020

Myostatin, or growth and differentiation factor-8(GDF-8) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß superfamily. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between genetic polymorphism of the myostatin gene with the body-weight of Iraqi local ducks by DNA sequence analysis. The results of DNA sequence showed nitrogen base change (G?A) at 129 base pair sites of the exon1 of MSTN gene. Therefore, two alleles, G and A and two patterns of genotypes, GG, AG were observed. The observed numbers of GG and AG genotypes were 25 and 6, respectively. The G allele was of the highest frequency (0.9) while A allele showed the lowest frequency (0.1). The GG genotype showed the highest frequency (80.65%) and AG genotype showed the lowest frequency (19.35%). Additionally, the percentages of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.19 and 0.17 respectively. Moreover, the percentages of observed and expected homozygosity were 0.80 and 0.82, respectively. The average heterozygosity was 0.17. The results revealed no significant (P?0.05) effect of the MSTN gene on body weight.

Transdisciplinaritāte studiju kursa „Latviešu valoda kā svešvaloda” īstenošanā
Authors: Gaitniece Lāsma
Published: May 2020

Each year international students from Asia enroll in the study programs implemented by the Faculty of E-Learning Technologies and Humanities of Riga Technical University. It is interesting to note that some of these students come with the preliminary knowledge of the Latvian language at level A2 and some even at level B1 according to CEFR, which they have acquired in their home country. Therefore, one of the tasks the instructor should complete within the study course “Latvian as a Foreign Language” is to select appropriate pedagogical contents and methods that would not only facilitate acquisition of a foreign language, but would also promote positive attitude to the country and culture which language is being acquired. Adoption of the transdisciplinary approach is one of the options. Resting on these premises, the paper analyzes the experience of the author through the prism of trans-disciplinary pedagogical approach.
Delivering the study course “Latvian as a Foreign Language” to the students with preliminary knowledge, the instructor shall not focus solely on expanding student vocabulary range and training in grammatical regularities. It is important to develop understanding about the cross-cultural dialogue and include the elements of creativity in the curriculum. Both components are connected with the transdisciplinary approach.
Transdisciplinary pedagogical approach may be really challenging for the instructor. Interest, involvement and eagerness to expand one’s knowledge play a crucial role. Attitude becomes a category of self-education. One of the options implementing the above-mentioned approach is to invite a guest lecturer – a professional in a definite field – to deliver a class together. It is not only the students who benefit from this practice but also the instructor, as in such a way self-education process occurs.
Transdisciplinary pedagogical approach opens to both students and the instructor a wider, more comprehensive perspective on different areas of research and culture, their interconnectedness and contexts, as well as promotes awareness of the fact that the borders among the areas are not set but rather are flexible.
Before delivering a practical class based on the transdisciplinary approach, it is necessary to design a precise action plan comprising several action points: selection of the relevant theme and a guest lecturer, getting ready for the class, delivery of the transdisciplinary class, polling the student after the practical class, or getting feedback. Only successfully completing each action point included in the plan both students and the academic staff may reach the desired positive outcome.
Role of Reflexive Characteristics of Agents in the Level of Consistency of Goals in the Group
Authors: Turlakova Svitlana , Vyshnevskyi Oleksandr , Lohvinenko Bohdan , Fomichenko Inna
Published: May 2020

The paper presented the test of the hypothesis about the importance of the role of reflexive characteristics in determining the level of consistency of the goals of agents in the group. Based on theoretical analysis, five main reflexive components of the decision-making process were established: awareness of agents regarding the area of decision; competence of agents; the authority (reputation) of the agent; propensity to imitate; intentional orientation of agents. The applied part of the study is based on a survey of 4 groups of agents. The results of the survey showed that the duration of the joint activities of the groups does not provide an increase in the quality of goal setting, the effectiveness of their implementation and the overall consistency of personal and group goals of agents. It was found that the reflexive components impact to achievement of personal goals. The higher the awareness of the goals of classmates and the competence of the agents, the higher the level of interest of each of the agents in the group for their own and group goals. As result there is the higher the probability of their achievement. Also a close relationship between the agents’ reflexive characteristics and the level of consistency of goals in the group was established. Therefore, the hypothesis of essential role of reflexive characteristics in consistency of goals within a group of agents should be considered confirmed. In these conditions, for the agent, a winning strategy (from the standpoint of achieving personal goals) is the desire to coordinate their activities with the goals of the group and its individual members, as well as to participate in achieving the goals of other members of the group.

Transposons Continue the Amaze
Authors: Gozukirmizi Nermin
Published: May 2020

Transposable
elements (TEs)
were first discovered in maize plants. However, they
exist almost in all species with a few exceptions (Plasmodium falciparum,
Ashbya gossypii and Kluveromuyces lactis). They are the most important contributors to genome
plasticity and evolution and even epigenetic genome regulation. Organisms
with large genomes have high transposon percentages. For example, Arabidopsis
thaliana has a genome size of 125 Mb which comprises 14% transposons, Homo sapiens (3000 Mb) 45-48.5%, and Hordeum
vulgare genome (5300 Mb) has 80%. TEs are classified into two major groups
based on their transposition mechanisms: Class I (RNA transposons –
retrotransposons) and Class II (DNA transposons). Recent progress in whole-genome sequencing and long-read
assembly have resulted in identification of unprecedentedly long transposable
units spanning dozens or even hundreds of kilobases, initially in prokaryotic
and more recently in eukaryotic systems. All TEs in a cell are
named as transposome (mobilome), and transposomics is a new area to work with
transposome. Although a number of bioinformatics softwares have recently been
developed for the annotation of TEs in sequenced genomes, there are very few
computational tools strictly dedicated to the identification of active TEs
using genome-wide approaches. In this review article, after a brief
introduction and review of the transposable elements, I discussed their effects
in gene expression, evolution, recent applications and also share our research on
retrotransposons with different organisms.
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcal enterotoxin detection in raw milk and cheese origin coagulase positive isolates
Authors: YILDIRIM Tuba , SADATİ Farid , KOCAMAN Berna , SİRİKEN Belgin
Published: May 2020

In the present study, a total 110 (60 cheese and 50 cows’ raw milk) samples was analyzed for CPS according to Food Drug Administration (FDA, 2001) previously. After the isolation, to confirmation of the isolates, catalase test, microscopic examination, coagulase test in tube and glucose-mannitol fermentation tests were applied. After the tests, we obtained 97 CPS isolates. The 97 CPS isolates were used as a material. For the confirmation of the isolates being Staphylococci species, 16S rRNA was detected by using PCR assay. For the detection of the CPS isolates being S. aureus, nuc gene detected in the CPS isolates using PCR assay. To determination of the staphylococcal enterotoxin, PCR assay was applied. The 16 S rRNA was detected in a total 97 (35 milk origin and 62 cheese origin) isolates. Therefore, these isolates were evaluated as coagulase-positive staphylococci (CPS).  The nuc gene was detected in 50 out of 97 CPS isolates. So, the 50 (18 cheese origin and 32 milk origin) isolates were evaluated as S. aureus. However, none of the staphylococcal enterotoxin genes (SE A,B,C,D,E,G,H,I,J) was detected in 97 CPS or 50 S. aureus isolates.
Thinking Allowed in the Academy
Authors: Taylor Paul
Published: May 2020

The recent Review of Freedom of Speech in Australian Higher Education Providers (‘the Review’), overseen by the Hon Robert French AC, identified areas for improving freedom of speech and academic freedom, and to that end proposed the adoption of umbrella principles embedded in a Model Code. The Review’s engagement with international human rights law standards was confined, even though many are binding on Australia. As universities consider implementing the Review’s recommendations, this article reflects on the Model Code in the light particularly of  the standards established by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (‘ICCPR’). If the drafters of the Model Code had paid closer regard to the ICCPR and other international standards, the result may have been a scheme that more clearly and predictably distinguishes permissible from impermissible restriction on free speech and academic freedom, and gives greater priority to promoting the human rights of those in the academic community than to the institutional power to limit them.

The Nature and Missionary Role of the Lay People in the Light of Vatican II; Convenience or Conviction?
Authors: Appiah-Kubi Francis , Bonsu Robert
Published: May 2020

The nature and the missionary role of the laity in the church is one of the issues currently vital to the church and theologians. From the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) perspective, the word laity is technically understood to mean all the faithful except those in holy orders and those in the state of religious life specially approved by the Catholic Church (LG31). These faithful are by baptism made one with Christ and constitute the People of God; they are sharers in the priestly, prophetic and kingly functions of Christ; and they carry out for their own part the mission of the whole Christian people in the church and in the world. However, the distinction between the ordained and the lay is a real one. A great deal of attention has been paid to the ordained ministry of the Church, its nature, its authority and its functions. The laity tends, by way of contrast, to be taken very much for granted, as though in their case no special problems arise. This study discusses the nature, role, and participation of lay people in the mission of the Church as proposed by the Second Vatican Council. It treats succinctly the historical development of the Laity and the challenges and opportunities inherent in their mission.

Published: May 2020

Straipsnyje apžvelgiamas vandenų ekosistemos eutrofikacijos procesas ir įtaka aplinkai. Eutrofikacija – tai vandens
telkinių prisotinimas biogeninėmis medžiagomis, kurios skatina vandens augalijos vystymąsi. Pateiktos eutrofikacijos procesų
trofinės būsenos, kurios vertinamos pagal metinį ir didžiausią chlorofilo kiekį vandenyje ir vandens skaidrumą. Dėl tokių
parametrų floros ir faunos vandenyje rūšių įvairovė mažėja, toksiškumas vidaus ir išoriniuose vandenyse didėja. Vandenų
ekosistemos taršos kontrolei vykdyti galima taikyti ne tik lauko matavimų (monitoringo), bet ir nuotolinį, neinvazinį tyrimo
metodus. Nuotoliniai tyrimai gali būti atliekami pasitelkiant palydovines sistemas arba nepilotuojamą orlaivį, kuriame
integruotas skaitmeninis fotoaparatas arba skenavimo įranga. Nuotolinių tyrimų duomenys – skaitmeninės optinės arba
spektrinės nuotraukos. Šiomis sistemomis stebimas fitoplanktono biomasės kiekis, neturint tiesioginio kontakto su vandens
telkiniu. Įvertinama augmenijos biomasės koncentracija, pagal kurią galima nustatyti vandens telkinio eutrofikacijos lygį.

Europos Sąjunga yra laikoma didžiausią ekonominį potencialą turinti struktūra. Tačiau ateityje yra numatomas ženklus ekonominio augimo sulėtėjimas ar net stagnacija, kuriai didžiausią įtaką turi socialinė atskirtis ir didėjanti gyventojų poliarizacija. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos socialinės gerovės ir ekonominio augimo sąryšio teorijos suponuoja, jog egzistuoja glaudus ryšys tarp gyventojų galimybių diferenciacijos ir tvaraus ekonominio augimo. Tyrimo metu atlikta mokslinės literatūros analizė parodė, jog šalys, kuriose vykdoma sėkminga socialinė prevencija, turi didesnį ekonominio augimo potencialą. Norint įvertinti, kurios ES šalys sėkmingiausiai tvarkosi su socialinėmis problemomis, buvo atliktas daugiakriteris vertinimas taikant SAW metodą. Atlikus pirmąją analizę buvo nustatyta, jog šalys, skiriančios didesnį dėmesį socialinių problemų prevencijai, pasižymi geresniais valstybės ir rinkos santykiais bei didesniu piliečių pasitikėjimu valstybės vykdoma politika ir siekiu prisidėti. Toks visuomeninės veiklos tandemas stabilizuoja ir gerina valstybių ekonominę ir socialinę padėtis. Gauti rezultatai leido įvertinti ryšio tarp socialinės gerovės ir ekonominio augimo egzistavimą. Atlikus koreliacinę analizę pastebima, jog augantys socialinės gerovės rodikliai gali turėti įtakos ekonominiam augimui ir tarp jų egzistuoja ryšys.

Thermal Components in Gamma-Ray Bursts. II. Constraining the Hybrid Jet Model
Authors: Li Liang
Published: May 2020

In explaining the physical origin of the jet composition of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), a more general picture, i.e., the hybrid jet model (which introduced another magnetization parameter σ
0 on the basis of the traditional fireball model), has been well studied in Gao & Zhang. However, it still has not yet been applied to a large GRB sample. Here, we first employ the “top-down” approach of Gao & Zhang to diagnose the photosphere properties at the central engine to see how the hybrid model can account for the observed data as well, through applying a Fermi GRB sample (eight bursts) with the detected photosphere component, as presented in Li (our Paper I). We infer all physical parameters of a hybrid problem with three typical values of the radius of the jet base (r
0 = 107, 108, and 109 cm). We find that the dimensionless entropy for all the bursts shows η ≫ 1 while the derived (1+σ
0) for five bursts (GRB 081224, GRB 110721A, GRB 090719, GRB 100707, and GRB 100724) is larger than unity, indicating that in addition to a hot fireball component, another cold Poynting-flux component may also play an important role. Our analysis also shows that in a few time bins for all r
0 in GRB 081224 and GRB 110721A, the magnetization parameter at ∼1015 cm (1+σ

r15) is greater than unity, which implies that internal-collision-induced magnetic reconnection and turbulence may be the mechanism to power the nonthermal emission, rather than internal shocks. We conclude that the majority of bursts (probably all) can be well explained by the hybrid jet problem.
The Viability of the 3 + 1 Neutrino Model in the Supernova Neutrino Process
Authors: Ko Heamin , Jang Dukjae , Kusakabe Motohiko , Cheoun Myung-Ki
Published: May 2020

Adopting the 3 + 1 neutrino mixing parameters by the IceCube and short baseline experiments, we investigate the sterile–active neutrino oscillation effects on the supernova neutrino process. For the sterile neutrino (ν

s
), we study two different luminosity models. First, we presume that the ν

s
does not interact with other particles through the standard interactions apart from the oscillation with the active neutrinos. Second, we consider the ν

s
directly produced by ν

e
scattering with the matter. In both cases, we find that the pattern of neutrino oscillations drastically impacts on the ν

s
in supernova environments. In particular multiple resonances occur, and consequently affect thermal neutrino-induced reaction rates. As a result, 7Li, 7Be, 11B, 11C, 92Nb, 98Tc, and 138La yields in the ν-process change. Among those nuclei, we constrain the 7Li and 11B yields using the analysis of observed SiC X grains. Based on the meteoritic data, we conclude that the second model can be allowed, while the first model is excluded. The viability of the second model depends on the sterile neutrino temperature and the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Two COMs with proposed energetic ice formation pathways are formamide and acetaldehyde. Both have been detected in solar system comets and in different circumstellar and interstellar environments. In this work, we study the NH2CHO and CH3CHO formation upon UV photoprocessing of CO:NH3 and CO:CH4 ice samples. The conversion from

radicals to NH2CHO is 2–16 times higher than the conversion from

radicals to CH3CHO under the explored experimental conditions, likely because the formation of the latter competes with the formation of larger hydrocarbons. In addition, the conversion of

into NH2CHO at 10 K increases with the NH3 abundance in the ice, and also with the temperature in CO-dominated CO:NH3 ices. This is consistent with the presence of a small

and HCO. reorientation barrier for the formation of NH2CHO, which is overcome with an increase in the ice temperature. The measured NH2CHO and CH3CHO formation efficiencies and rates are similar to those found during electron irradiation of the same ice samples under comparable conditions, suggesting that both UV photons and cosmic rays would have similar contributions to the solid-state formation of these species in space. Finally, the measured conversion yields (up to one order of magnitude higher for NH2CHO) suggest that in circumstellar environments, where the observed NH2CHO/CH3CHO abundance ratio is ∼0.1, there are likely additional ice and/or gas-phase formation pathways for CH3CHO.
Detecting Pair-instability Supernovae at z ≲ 5 with the James Webb Space Telescope
Authors: Regős Enikő , Vinkó József , Ziegler Bodo L.
Published: May 2020

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the ultimate cosmic lighthouses, capable of being observed at z ≳ 25 and revealing the properties of primordial stars at cosmic dawn. But it is now understood that the spectra and light curves of these events evolved with redshift as the universe became polluted with heavy elements because chemically enriched stars in this mass range typically lose most of their hydrogen envelopes and explode as bare helium cores. The light curves of such transients can be considerably dimmer in the near-infrared today than those of primordial PISNe of equal energy and progenitor mass. Here, we calculate detection rates for PISNe whose progenitors lost their outer layers to either line-driven winds or rotation at z ≲ 10, their detection limit in redshift for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We find that JWST may be able to detect only Population II (metal-poor) PISNe over the redshift range of z ≲ 4, but not their Population III (metal-free) counterparts.
Chromospheric Bubbles in Solar Flares
Authors: Reid A. , Zhigulin B. , Carlsson M. , Mathioudakis M.
Published: May 2020

We analyze a grid of radiative hydrodynamic simulations of solar flares to study the energy balance and response of the atmosphere to nonthermal electron beam heating. The appearance of chromospheric bubbles is one of the most notable features that we find in the simulations. These pockets of chromospheric plasma get trapped between the transition region and the lower atmosphere as it is superheated by the particle beam. The chromospheric bubbles are seen in the synthetic spectra, appearing as an additional component to Balmer line profiles with high Doppler velocities as high as 200 km s−1. Their signatures are also visible in the wings of Ca ii 8542 Å line profiles. These bubbles of chromospheric plasma are driven upward by a wave front that is induced by the shock of energy deposition, and require a specific heating rate and atmospheric location to manifest.

Les élections présidentielles ont fait revenir à l’avant-plan la composante religieuse. Certains mouvements ont tenté de prescrire comment devraient voter les catholiques. Mais le second tour aura manifesté davantage de pluralisme. Cela devrait ouvrir un espace de débat.
Introduction à l’art du manga
Authors: Monastier Pierre
Published: May 2020

En 2015, la France représente 50 % des ventes de mangas en Europe, tandis que la bande dessinée japonaise emporte 40 % du marché aux bulles dans l’Hexagone. La France est ainsi, depuis plusieurs années, le deuxième plus grand consommateur de mangas au monde, derrière le Japon, mais devant les États-Unis, la Corée, l’Allemagne ou encore Taïwan. Comment expliquer un tel engouement, au point que certains éditeurs ont décidé – fait unique – de publier simultanément certains volumes dans les deux langues, japonais et français ?
Lignes de faille, Le Caire, 2011
Authors: Lachenal Perrine
Published: May 2020

Au Caire, en janvier 2011, des centaines de milliers de personnes manifestent contre Hosni Moubarak, remettant en cause la légitimité de son pouvoir. Des basculements décisifs, relatifs aux manières de dire les usages légitimes et illégitimes de la violence, s’opèrent durant cette période, permettant au rapport de force de s’inverser. Les basculements à l’échelle du pays ont travaillé – et ont été dialectiquement travaillés par – les expériences quotidiennes des individus, leurs relations ainsi que leurs représentations du monde et de son ordre. Cet article se concentre sur la dimension intime de la révolution égyptienne, à l’échelle des corps et des individus. Les franchissements dont il est ici question sont discrets, presque minuscules, mais n’en demeurent pas moins importants à analyser, témoignant de l’imbrication permanente des différents ordres sociaux et de la dimension ordinaire des périodes extraordinaires.
Plaidoyer pour réinvestir le travail dans le champ de la santé mentale et pour réinvestir la santé dans le monde du travail
Authors: De Greef Vanessa
Published: May 2020

Santé mentale et politiques d’activation peuvent-elles cohabiter ? Comment ces politiques tiennent-elles compte du diagnostic de santé mentale et doivent-elles le faire ? Les alternatives au travail devraient-elles être privilégiées de façon exclusive pour les personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux ? C’est à ces quelques questions que l’article cherche à répondre sous un angle juridique. Il y est également plaidé pour que les acteurs de la santé mentale réinvestissent le monde du travail de façon à ce que la santé au travail soit un champ plus investi.

Does Bilingualism Expand the Cognitive Experience of the Students?
Authors: Bobadilla-Pérez María , Pereira-Balado Suellen
Published: May 2020

This chapter shows the results of a study carried out in an immersion early education classroom in Galicia (Spain). The study focuses on how children in a bilingual context develop their perception of the world according to the concepts they are able to build around things in their environment, using the language as a reference. A brief theoretical framework precedes the presentation of the study. On the one hand, attention is paid to the pedagogical implications of second language acquisition in early childhood. Secondly, and most importantly, the nature of the bilingual brain is discussed through the consideration of the works of relevant authors in the field. Later, the case study is explained. For the purpose of the qualitative research, participants were presented with different images to be described in English and Spanish, and an observation table was designed in order to classify the utterances produced by the students. As will be discussed, results showed that students in immersion educational contexts increase their sense of the world when using both languages.
Play Work and Play Therapy
Authors: Yamoah Michael
Published: May 2020

The discourse of children's play is conceptualised differently among cultural contexts. This chapter aims at examining the current trends in how play work and play therapy are perceived by scholars in the international community. It will highlight the theoretical conceptual framework, evidence and pedagogical practices, as well as the cultural importance that inform the choice of play work in early childhood education that pertains to developmentally appropriate practices. Play work and play therapy have seen a lot of research; however, the author will readdress the perceived challenges that persist and still confront the minds of many practitioners about children's play and the curriculum framework. While some authors see play work and its therapeutic nature as a positive way of contributing to children's learning and development, thereby promoting life-long learning, others see it a way of wasting precious time. In conclusion, it is stated that play work and play therapy cannot be overlooked due to their numerous related benefits.
Thoughts on Why and How to Promote Sustainable Practices in Early Years Education
Authors: Wright Hazel R. , Luff Paulette , Osadiya Opeyemi
Published: May 2020

It is important to introduce ideas and practices to encourage young children to act sustainably so that this becomes habitual and continues in adulthood. An examination of global developments for environmental action provides a context for a more specific focus on work in early years contexts, which, it is noted, most commonly originates in Australia and Scandinavia. The UK is active but lagging behind their lead, relying on pockets of activity in certain university and nursery centres. Noting, also, a need to train staff to teach young children sustainable behaviours, how this can be done is illustrated through an action research project that helped a playgroup to establish a wildlife garden where children could learn about and care for plants and animals. Returning to the broader global picture, the chapter concludes by stressing the need for joint adult-child action to protect the planet in/on which all humans live.
Innovative Perspectives on an Interactive Platform for Sustainable Supply Chains
Authors: Chen Ye-Sho
Published: May 2020

The United Nations set up 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 to transform our world. Sustainable supply chains play a key role in achieving the global goals. In this chapter, the authors propose an innovative platform with interactive communication systems and technologies to empower sustainable development participants actively engaging in managing sustainable supply chains and developing global entrepreneurship through international soft landings. Specifically, they illustrate how to develop an interactive platform of “Flying High, Landing Soft” for wetland innovation and entrepreneurship to address the growing global problem of wetland losses. The interactive platform, grounded in the theories of strategic entrepreneurship, distributed cognition, digital nervous systems, and equipped with social interaction technologies, allows student entrepreneurs to participate in exploring and developing innovative solutions and business ventures to help build and maintain healthy wetlands to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
“It's a Lot Like Ending Up on the Losing Side of a Relationship”
Authors: Rodriguez Nathan John
Published: May 2020

Academic interest in parasocial relationships has increased dramatically in the past decade. A subset of this broader topic concerns the relationships between sports fans and a host of athletes, coaches, and teams. An overwhelming majority of those studies examine fan reactions following a singular event rather than over an extended period of time. This chapter unpacks the ways in which college basketball fans reacted to the departure of a beloved coach over a period of nine years. Relevant reader comments were analyzed thematically and coded by an expressed grief state using the Kubler-Ross model. The term “parasocial divorce” is introduced to describe the depth of parasocial relationships for highly motivated fans. The findings reveal how fans can come to loathe a particular persona, and the conditions under which that parasocial relationship may be rehabilitated.

Authors: Al-Ajeel Aisha A. , Al-Anjari Lujain A. , Sarfraz Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Interactive communication systems and technologies are big motivation for e-learning nowadays. This chapter is dedicated for studying the effect of e-learning worldwide. The state of Kuwait is considered as a special case for this study. Two research methods have been used in this study. One method uses a questionnaire for an input of 104 students to study their level of acceptance and their attitudes towards e-learning. Other method has been set to collect interviews with 21 instructors who are involved in e-learning at undergraduate and graduate levels. The participants among students and instructors have been randomly chosen from different Kuwait institutions. A detailed analysis of the input has triggered the best practices to change the people's behavior towards e-learning and find a possible solution to bridge the gap between system makers and the users.
Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language Through Literature
Authors: Vercher García Enrique Javier
Published: May 2020

In this work, the author analyses theoretical and practical issues regarding the use of literature in teaching Russian as a foreign language (RKI), and more specifically for students whose first language is Spanish. In the first section, they address issues of general didactic theory, such as the method and general didactic approach. Next, they present the characteristics and advantages of using literary texts in RKI, such as encouraging reading and learning, teaching the culture of the studied language, and for entertainment. In the following section, they analyse the factors that influence the selection of a literary text to be used in the RKI class. In the next theoretical section, they detail a working methodology with literary texts (introduction to the exercise and prior explanations, pretextual exercises, comments during reading, post-textual exercises, etc.). The work concludes with a compilation of textbooks, authors, and literary works recommended for use in the RKI class, with a description of their main didactic characteristics.
An Approach to the Use of Literature in the Korean Language Class
Authors: Trigo Maldonado Alvaro
Published: May 2020

During the last years, the Korean language has been gaining popularity worldwide as a second language. This is partly due to the international success of the so-called Korean wave or hallyu-related cultural products. This increase of interest in learning the language has produced a new market for Korean language books, and the past years have seen a lot of specific-purpose materials for Korean learners being published. However, it is possible to argue that literature has been underrepresented in this new wave of publications. In the following chapter, the author examines a series of the most relevant materials oriented or dealing with Korean literature in their curriculum trying to offer an approximation on the state of question and reflecting on the reasons behind proposing ideas on how to improve literature teaching in the Korean language classroom.
The Early Works of Italo Calvino
Authors: Arciello Daniele
Published: May 2020

This chapter aims to consider the collected works of the writer Italo Calvino and their usefulness as effective tools for the teaching of the Italian language. Through the study of his early novel and short story collection, Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno (The Path to the Nest of Spiders, 1947) and Ultimo viene il corvo (The Crow Comes Last, 1949), we can easily find many helpful ideas and suggestions to create educational aids. The themes of his work, as well as the relevance of the different phases of Calvino's life, such as his reflections upon the Second World War and Italian partisanship, will be the main subject of this study. One of the most important purposes of this proposal is to underline the connection between the contents of imaginary tales and dissertations and the methods by which the Italian language is taught. Keeping in line with the importance of this author, his role as a model for other writers will also be emphasized.
