Bioturbation has a limited effect on phosphorus burial in salt marsh sediments

Published: February 2021

Abstract. It has been hypothesized that the evolution of animals during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition stimulated the burial of phosphorus in marine sediments. This assumption is centrally based on data compilations from marine sediments deposited under oxic and anoxic bottom waters. Since anoxia excludes the presence of infauna and sediment reworking, the observed differences in P burial are assumed to be driven by the presence of bioturbators. This reasoning however ignores the potentially confounding impact of bottom-water oxygenation on phosphorus burial.
Here, our goal is to test the idea that bioturbation increases the burial of organic and inorganic phosphorus (Porg and Pinorg, respectively) while accounting for bottom-water oxygenation. We present solid-phase phosphorus speciation data from salt marsh ponds with and without bioturbation (Blakeney salt marsh, Norfolk, UK). In both cases, the pond sediments are exposed to oxygenated bottom waters, and so the only difference is the presence or absence of bioturbating macrofauna. Our data reveal that the rate of Porg and Pinorg burial are indistinguishable between bioturbated and non-bioturbated sediments. A large terrestrial fraction of organic matter and higher sedimentation velocity than generally found in marine sediments (0.3 ± 0.1 cm yr−1) may partially impact these results. However, the absence of a clear effect of bioturbation on total P burial puts into question the presumed importance of bioturbation for phosphorus burial.
Last glacial cycle glacier erosion potential in the Alps
Authors: Seguinot Julien , Delaney Ian
Published: February 2021

Abstract. The glacial landscape of the Alps has fascinated generations of explorers, artists, mountaineers and scientists with its diversity, including erosional features of all scales from high-mountain cirques, to steep glacial valleys and large over-deepened basins. Using previous glacier modelling results, and empirical inferences of bedrock erosion under modern glaciers, we compute a distribution of potential glacier erosion in the Alps over the last glacial cycle from 120 000 years ago to the present. Despite large uncertainties pertaining to the climate history of the Alps and unconstrained glacier erosion processes, the resulting modelled patterns of glacier erosion include persistent features. The cumulative imprint of the last glacial cycle shows a very strong localization of glacier erosion with local maxima at the mouths of major Alpine valleys and some other upstream sections where glaciers are modelled to have flown with the highest velocity. The modelled erosion rates vary significantly through the glacial cycle, but show paradoxically little relation to the total glacier volume. Phases of glacier advance and maximum extension see a localization of rapid erosion rates at low elevation, while glacier erosion at higher elevation is modelled date from phases of less extensive glaciation. The modelled erosion rates peak during deglaciation phases, when frontal retreat results in steeper glacier surface slopes, implying that climatic conditions that result in rapid glacier erosion might be quite transient and specific. Our results depict the Alpine glacier erosion landscape as a time-transgressive patchwork, with different parts of the range corresponding to different glaciation stages and time periods.

Abstract. Dishevelled (Dvl) proteins are important regulators of the Wnt signalling pathway, interacting through their PDZ domains with the Wnt receptor Frizzled. Blocking the Dvl PDZ/Frizzled interaction represents a potential approach for cancer treatment, which stimulated the identification of small molecule inhibitors, among them the anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac and Ky-02327. Aiming to develop tighter binding compounds without side effects, we investigated structure-activity relationships of sulfonamides. X-ray crystallography showed high complementarity of anthranilic acid derivatives in the GLGF loop cavity and space for ligand growth towards the PDZ surface. Our best binding compound inhibits Wnt signalling in a dose-dependent manner as demonstrated by TOP-GFP assays (IC50 ~50 µM), and Western blotting of β-catenin levels. Real-time PCR showed reduction in the expression of Wnt-specific genes. Our compound interacted with Dvl-1 PDZ (Kd = 2.4 µM) stronger than Ky-02327 and may be developed into a lead compound interfering with the Wnt pathway.
Contribution of gravity gliding in salt-bearing rift basins – A new
experimental setup for simulating salt tectonics under the inﬂuence
of sub-salt extension and tilting
Authors: Warsitzka Michael , Závada Prokop , Jähne-Klingberg Fabian , Krzywiec Piotr
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Basin-scale salt flow and the evolution of salt structures in rift basin is mainly driven by sub- and supra-salt faulting and sedimentary loading. Crustal extension is often accompanied and followed by thermal subsidence leading to tilting of the graben flanks, which might induce an additional basinward directed driver for salt tectonics. We designed a new experimental analog apparatus capable of integrating the processes of sub-salt graben extension and tilting of the flanks, such that the overlapping effects on the deformation of a viscous substratum and the brittle overburden can be simulated. The presented experimental study was performed to demonstrate the main functionality of the experimental procedure and setup demonstrating the main differences in structural evolution between conditions of pure extension, pure tilting and extension combined with tilting. Digital image correlation of top view stereoscopic images was applied to reveal the 3D displacement and strain patterns. Results of these experiments suggest that in salt basins affected by sub-salt extension and flank inclination, the salt flow and downward movement of overburden affects the entire flanks of the basin. Supra-salt extension occurring close to the graben centre is overprinted by the downward movement, i.e. amount of extension is reduced or extensional faults zones are shortened. At the basin margins, thin-skinned extensional fault developed, which resemble fault zones observed on basin flanks offset from the central graben zone.
Looking beyond kinematics: 3D thermo-mechanical modelling reveals the dynamic of
transform margins
Authors: Jourdon Anthony , Kergaravat Charlie , Duclaux Guillaume , Huguen Caroline
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Transform margins represent ~30 % of the non-convergent margins worldwide. Their formation and evolution have long been addressed through kinematic models that do not account for the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere. In this study, we use high resolution 3D numerical thermo-mechanical modelling to simulate and investigate the evolution of the intra-continental strain localization under oblique extension. The obliquity is set through velocity boundary conditions that range from 15° (high obliquity) to 75° (low obliquity) every 15° for strong and weak lower continental crust rheologies. Numerical models show that the formation of localized strike-slip shear zones leading to transform continental margins always follows a thinning phase during which the lithosphere is thermally and mechanically weakened. For low (75°) to intermediate (45°) obliquity cases, the strike-slip faults are not parallel to the extension direction but form an angle of 20° to 40° with the plates' motion while for higher obliquities (30° to 15°) the strike-slip faults develop parallel to the extension direction. Numerical models also show that during the thinning of the lithosphere, the stress and strain re-orient while boundary conditions are kept constant. This evolution, due to the weakening of the lithosphere, leads to a strain localization process in three major phases: (1) strain initiates in a rigid plate where structures are sub-perpendicular to the extension direction; (2) distributed deformation with local stress field variations and formation of transtensional and strike-slip structures; (3) formation of highly localized plates boundaries stopping the intra-continental deformation. Our results call for a thorough re-evaluation of the kinematic approach to studying transform margins.
Salman Schocken. Topographien eines Lebens
Authors: Mahrer Stefanie
Published: February 2021

Ein Leben im Dazwischen Salman Schocken war ein Selfmademan. Aufgewachsen in bescheidenen Verhältnissen in der Nähe von Posen, folgte er dem Ruf seines Bruders in die sächsische Stadt Zwickau, wo beide 1904 eine Warenhauskette gründeten. Die Geschäfte verliefen derart erfolgreich, dass sie in die Kreise der führenden Kaufleute aufstiegen. Gleichzeitig begann Salman Schocken, sich für die zionistische Arbeit zu interessieren. Als Kulturzionist, Verleger, Mäzen und Bibliophiler wurde Schocken zum Zentrum eines Netzwerks bedeutender jüdischer Intellektueller. Nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten verließ er mit seiner Familie Deutschland und ließ sich in Jerusalem nieder, blieb aber auch nach seiner Emigration geschäftlich und zionistisch in Europa tätig. In Jerusalem war er als Vorsteher der Hebräischen Universität, Besitzer einer bedeutenden hebräischen Tageszeitung und seines zweiten Verlagshauses federführend am Aufbau eines deutsch-jüdischen Kulturlebens des Jischuv beteiligt – Salman Schocken bleibt auch dort Zentrum des Netzwerks. Erst mit seiner Emigration nach New York im Jahr 1940 verliert er seinen Einfluss, gründet dort aber noch einmal einen neuen Verlag. Die Annäherung an Schocken erfolgt auf dem Weg der Topographie, also den Ortsbeziehungen in seinem Leben von Posen über Berlin nach Zwickau und dann von Berlin über Jerusalem nach New York. Das Buch stellt Schockens Lebensweg durch die detaillierte Analyse von tausenden von Primärquellen im Zusammenhang und in der Wechselbeziehung mit der Zeitgeschichte dar. So ist die Arbeit mehr als die Schilderung seines Lebens, sie ist auch eine Analyse, wie sich der Kulturraum des deutschen Judentums nach 1933 außerhalb Deutschlands konstituierte und veränderte.
A New Approach to High-Order Electroencephalogram Phase Analysis Details the Mathematical Mechanisms of Central Nervous System Impulse Encoding
Authors: Simeoni Ricardo
Published: February 2021

This paper presents a new electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis technique which is applied to example EEGs pertaining to nine human subjects and a broad spectrum of clinical scenarios. While focusing on technique physical efficacy, the paper also paves the way for future clinically-focused studies with revelations of several quantified and detailed findings in relation to high-order central nervous system communicative impulse encoding akin to a sophisticated form of phase-shift keying. The fact that fine encoding details are extracted with confidence from a seemingly modest EEG set supports the paper’s position that vast amounts of accessible information currently goes unrecognised by conventional EEG analysis. The technique commences with high resolution Fourier analysis being twice applied to an EEG, providing newly-identified harmonics. Except for deep sleep where harmonic phase, φ, behaviour becomes highly linear, φ transitional values, ∆φ, measured between harmonics of progressively increasing order are found to cluster rather than follow a normal distribution (e.g., χ2 = 303, df = 12, p < 0.001). Clustering is categorised into ten Families for which many separations between ∆φ values are writable in terms of k = j/4 or j/3 (j = 1, 2, 3 ...), with a preference for k = j/2 (χ2 = 77, df = 1, p < 0.001), amounts of a Family-specific quantum increment value, α∆φ. A parabolic relationship (r > 0.9999, p < 0.001) exists between α∆φ (and the parabola minimum associates with an additional inter-Family or universal quantum increment value, αmin). Ratios of α∆φ typically align within ± 0.5% of simple common fractions (95% CI).

L’utilizzo dei media digitali in un campione di bambini e adolescenti attraverso il questionario Media Activity Form
Authors: Rosi Eleonora
Published: February 2021

Background - Several studies have investigated the use of digital media in developmental age, mainly focusing on Internet or video games addiction in adolescence. However, few studies have investigated the time spent by children and young people on different types of digital media and their impact on adaptive behaviour. Objectives - On the base of parent and child reports the current study aimed to investigate the use of different digital media in Italian children and adolescents, aged six to eighteen, and their impact on adaptive behaviour as well, and to assess its association with socio-demographic factors. Material and methods - 901 parents and 574 children were recruited in ten schools in Northern Italy. The parents filled in a socio-demographic form and the “Media Activity Form” (MAF-G), while adolescents filled in a youth version of the “Media Activity Form” (MAF-R). Results - Overall, the activities carried out by children (6-11 years old) are mainly focused on viewing films/TV series and using video games, while those of adolescents are mainly related to listening to music and messaging. Parents estimated a lower amount of time spent on digital media by their children compared to that reported by their children. Finally, significant differences emerged in relation to male gender, preadolescence, low socio-economic level, low maternal education and divorced/separated parents, showing that participants belonging to such categories spent longer time on different digital media. Conclusions - The results contributed to improve the knowledge on the use of digital media in children and adolescents, with useful clinical implications for interventions.

A seleção dos jogos foi realizada em dois sites relacionados à temática, um internacional e outro nacional, e abarcou um conjunto de vinte (20) jogos de tipo eurogames. Através dos jogos analisados é possível reconhecer alguns indícios que remetem a representação da Idade Média nos jogos de tabuleiro, os quais formam um léxico visual que evoca a Idade Média presente no imaginário contemporâneo.
A Esparta antiga entre ingleses, franceses e alemães: lugar social, discursos e representações na historiografia contemporânea
Authors: Assumpção Luis Filipe Bantim
Published: February 2021

A História, enquanto ciência e disciplina, é um produto do lugar social de seus artífices — os historiadores. Nesse sentido, o conhecimento historiográfico deve ser concebido como um produto do trabalho acadêmico e profissional, o qual promove representações específicas dos mais variados objetos que servem de referencial para pensarmos o tempo pretérito, por meio de seu discurso. Dito isso, o presente artigo aborda a representação de Esparta no discurso de uma parcela de intelectuais franceses, ingleses e germânicos na contemporaneidade. Para tanto, discutimos a maneira como as práticas político-culturais espartanas foram apropriadas, em função do lugar social dos referidos intelectuais, com o intuito de legitimar a conduta política e o ideal de nação europeu, entre os séculos XIX e XX, sobretudo, pela apropriação das representações provenientes da Vida de Licurgo, do grego Plutarco.

O Ensino de História e a formação do pedagogo: uma análise da percepção docente
Authors: De Souza Thainá Lima , De Araújo Roberta Negrão
Published: February 2021

O pedagogo para atender a demanda da sala de aula, em sua prática pedagógica necessita de conhecimento pedagógico e, ao mesmo tempo, do conhecimento disciplinar. Desta forma, as disciplinas de metodologias de ensino ofertadas nas universidades são de grande relevância na formação inicial do futuro docente. Tais disciplinas devem capacitar o acadêmico tanto de base teórica como de fundamentos pedagógicos, além dos conteúdos específicos, para que possa ensinar de maneira satisfatória. O presente estudo tem por objetivo geral analisar a percepção do professor dos anos iniciais em relação à sua formação para ensinar História e, o consequente impacto em sua prática pedagógica. Este foi detalhado em objetivos específicos: (1) Descrever a formação do professor dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental na perspectiva das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais da Licenciatura em Pedagogia; (2) Abordar o ensino de História nos documentos curriculares oficiais e na literatura que contempla a temática; (3) Coletar, apresentar e interpretar dados sobre a percepção dos professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental sobre sua formação para o ensino de História e a contribuição desta em sua prática pedagógica. Diante desses objetivos pretende-se contribuir com o tema formação de professor, analisando a percepção docente. O referencial teórico da pesquisa subsidia-se em Libâneo, Pimenta, Cainelli, Schimidt e Fonseca. Os dados evidenciaram que o ensino de História ainda foca o passado, permanecendo o estudo linear dos fatos históricos. Contudo percebe-se uma mudança do conhecimento histórico ao considerar o estudante como sujeito histórico.

Published: February 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo indagar e refletir sobre a percepção de alunos dos 7º e 8º anos do Ensino Fundamental com a História. A partir da observação e aplicação de um questionário socioeconômico e cultural, percebemos que os alunos estavam inseridos em uma cultura escolar pautada no uso exclusivo do livro didático, tal dinâmica contribuiu para uma compreensão de História que não estabelecia relações entre o passado, o presente e o futuro, a História era compreendida apenas como aquilo que ocorreu com os antepassados. Diante disso, planejamos e desenvolvemos atividades que problematizaram a relação entre passado e presente a fim de provocar novas reflexões para o pensamento histórico desses alunos.
Notas sobre o ensino de História da Educação no curso de Pedagogia da UEPG (1963-2012)
Authors: Campos Névio
Published: February 2021

Este artigo objetiva realizar um mapeamento do ensino de História da Educação no Curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, no período circunscrito entre 1962-2012. Apoia-se nos relatórios da Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras, nos relatórios e no catálogo geral da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa e nos programas de disciplinas, privilegiando um olhar acerca das denominações e carga horária, ementas e programas, assim como referências das obras utilizadas. A partir dessas fontes e em diálogo com a produção acadêmica é possível sustentar que houve forte continuidade de conteúdos atrelados aos tradicionais recortes temporais da história ocidental (Antiguidade, Idade Média, Períodos Moderno e Contemporâneo) e à tradicional divisão política brasileira (Colônia, Império e República), sem deixar de aparecer alguma alteração com a inclusão de temáticas específicas da educação, como, feminização do magistério, criança e infância, formação de professores. Além disso, observa-se uma presença marcante dos tradicionais manuais de História da Educação, sofrendo grande diminuição a partir do final dos anos de 1990 e início dos anos 2000, o que indica certa aproximação entre a organização do ensino e o campo de pesquisa em História da Educação.
A Neurodidactic Model for Teaching Elementary EFL Students in a College Context
Authors: Barbosa Edwin Y.
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study was to propose a neurodidactic model for the development of primary communication skills in 1st year students of English as a Foreign Language at the University of Pamplona. Conceptually, the variables were supported upon relevant educational theories, language acquisition theoretical constructs and recent neuroeducational tenets. This was a descriptive, explanatory field, and projective research, which used a non-experimental cross-sectional design. 102 students formed the population, while the sample was randomly and representatively conformed by 62 individuals. The data collection instrument consisted of a modified Likert scale survey with 45 items. As for the reliability and validity, they were determined by expert judgment, discriminant analysis by item, as well as Cronbach's α reliability coefficient of 0.873 for the first and through a pilot test of 20 individuals; the second being a coefficient of 0.880. The results indicated an averagely high didactic methodology against a very high neurodidactic methodology, obtaining a relationship between the two approaches that endorses the implementation of brain-based strategies to enhance the learning of a foreign language.
Employing the Social Media and the Mobile Phones (GSM) in the Campaign Against Open Defecation in South-East Nigeria

Published: February 2021

This exploratory study investigated the viability of using the social media and mobile phone (GSM) as public relations social marketing tool in the campaign against open defecation in South-East Nigeria. It argues that the greater percentage of the public could be reached with the campaign if approached through the social media networks and GSM such as the Facebook, mobile telephone, etc., than the traditional media of newspapers, radio and television that have not yielded much in the envisaged awareness and attitudinal change results. From a survey sample of 385 respondents drawn from three sampled states of Enugu, Anambra and Abia, using the simple random, convenience and purposive sampling techniques, the results suggest, among others, that the social media and the GSM could be more efficacious in prosecuting the campaign against open defecation given the fast growing social media literacy and GSM use among the population especially the youths. It recommends that given the increasing number of the segment of the society especially the youths that use the Social Media and GSM the South-East governments could conduct basic or pilot study so as to leverage on this accessibility aspect of the media for a more effective campaign to end open defecation in South-East Nigeria.
The Marshall-Olkin Half Logistic-G Family of Distributions With Applications
Authors: Makubate Boikanyo , Chipepa Fastel , Oluyede Broderick , O. Peter Peter
Published: February 2021

Attempts have been made to define new classes of distributions that provide more flexibility for modeling data that is skewed in nature. In this work, we propose a new family of distributions namely the Marshall-Olkin Half Logistic-G (MO-HL-G) based on the generator pioneered by [Marshall and Olkin , 1997]. This new family of distributions allows for a flexible fit to real data from several fields, such as engineering, hydrology, and survival analysis. The structural properties of these distributions are studied and its model parameters are obtained through the maximum likelihood method. We finally demonstrate the effectiveness of these models via simulation experiments.
Comparative Performance of Estimation Maximization Among Residual Estimators: A Structural Equation Modelling Perspective
Authors: Abdul-Aziz A. R. , Luguterah Albert , Saeed Bashiru I. I.
Published: February 2021

As the concept of methodology has advanced, varied methods of estimating residuals have been developed including regression method, Bartlett’s method and Anderson-Rubin’s method. The study utilized estimation maximization approach together with other methods of estimating residuals under the structural equation model. The results showed that the strength of the existing methods in structural equation modelling are the weaknesses of the estimation maximization method, and vice versa. It was, therefore, found that from the comparative model fit information that the Bartlett’s based method gave better residual parameter estimates compared to the Regression based and the Anderson Rubin based methods. However, the estimation maximization method gave better residual parameter estimates than the other three existing methods; the Regression, Bartlett’s and the Anderson Rubin based methods.
Dental bacterial biofilm and gingival status in cystic fibrosis adult patients
Authors: Pawlaczyk-Kamieńska Tamara , Borysewicz-Lewicka Maria
Published: February 2021

Introduction

The purpose of the study conducted on cystic fibrosis (CF) patients was the bacterial plaque accumulation and the gingival condition assessment, and microbial analysis of the subgingival biofilm.

Materials/Methods

The study included 22 CF adult patients and 22 healthy controls, sex and age compatible with the CF patients. The dental plaque was assessed using plaque index (PLI), and the gingival status using gingival index (GI). Analyses of the subgingival biofilm were performed by the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.

Results

The mean value of GI in CF patients was 0.39 ±0.36 and was significantly lower comparing to the healthy controls (1.02 ±0.63), PLI was similar in both the groups (1.31 ±0.69) for the study group and 1.04 ±0.62 for controls). In CF patients there was no correlation between PLI and GI, which was observed in the control group. In both the groups there was a correlation between PLI and the total number of periopathogens. Furthermore, in the control group, there was a correlation between GI and the number of periopathogens. Such a correlation was not observed in the CF patients.

Conclusions

In patients with CF, the lack of correlation between the amount of tooth deposits and the gingival condition may indicate a stable, most likely pharmacologically conditioned oral biofilm ecology. Among the aetiological factors of gingivitis and periodontitis in patients with CF, the bacterial activity does not seem to be modified. However, the unsatisfactory oral hygiene found in the study participants does not exclude the possibility of disease development in the future.

Deep Learning Framework with ECG Feature-Based Kernels for Heart Disease Classification
Authors: Nguyen Thanh-Nghia , Nguyen Thanh-Hai
Published: February 2021

Heart disease classification with high accuracy can support the physician’s correct decision on patients. This paper proposes a kernel size calculation based on P, Q, R, and S waves of one heartbeat to enhance classification accuracy in a deep learning framework. In addition, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were filtered using wavelet transform with dmey wavelet, in which the shape of the dmey is closed to that of one heartbeat. With this selected dmey, each heartbeat was standardized with 300 samples for calculation of kernel sizes so that it contains most features in each heartbeat. Therefore, in this research, with 103,459 heart rhythms from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, the proposed approach for calculation of kernel sizes is effective with seven convolutional layers and other fully connected layers in a Deep Neural Network (DNN). In particular, with five types of heart disease, the result of the high classification accuracy is about 99.4 %. It means that the proposed kernel size calculation in the convolutional layers can achieve good classification performance and it may be developed for classifying different types of disease.

Conclusions: FBT can be considered as an effective strategy for changing the dysfunctional cycle of the family system and decreasing substance use tendency in adolescents.
The Green New Deal, Subsidiarity, and Local Action
Authors: Rice Christopher ,   Villanova University
Published: February 2021

A common criticism of the Green New Deal proposal to address climate change is that it would centralize too much power at the level of the federal government. However, the Green New Deal can avoid this by centering local action and decision-making in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity from Catholic social ethics. This principle holds that higher levels of society should not override the initiative of lower levels of society but should instead coordinate and support their work whenever possible. A focus on subsidiarity is already present in the framing of the Green New Deal proposal and provides a sound ethical foundation for its development and implementation.
Neue Dialogperspektiven oder doch nicht?
Authors: Kisić Rade ,   Gnomon Center for the Humanities
Published: February 2021

This text analyses the document „Relations of the Orthodox Church with the Rest of the Christian World” in terms of possible new perspectives of the ecumenical dialogue? The analysis of the document and its reception so far, show that alongside a general willingness of the Orthodox Church to participate in the ecumenical dialogue, the document also contains certain methodological and practical suggestions for the continuation of the dialogue. Nevertheless, the document is obviously influenced by the fact it is adopted in the time of so called „the ecumenical winter”.

Drawing Wisdom from a Pandemic
Authors: Majumdar Deepa ,   Gnomon Center for the Humanities
Published: February 2021

This essay explores the humanistic dimensions of the unparalleled world-wide pandemic caused by Covid-19. Using both western and eastern sources, it seeks to draw wisdom from this tragedy – but also apply wisdom to it. Reflecting on the historical moment ensconcing this pandemic, and the fundamental metaphysical implications of Covid-19, this essay has three parts: (1) Precipice of History-Nature: This Historical Moment surrounding Covid-19; (2) Implications of a Pandemic for the nature of Nature and God; (3) Implications of a Pandemic for Death, Predestination, Higher Faith – and likely Results. Viewing this moment as portentous in its anticipation of a new age, this essay uses the notion of a temporized precipice, to situate this pandemic historically. Drawing from western (Heidegger, Russell, Augustine, Catherine of Sienna, Epictetus, Plato, and Plotinus), and Indian (Gandhi, Vivekananda, and the Bhagavadgītā) sources, this essay offers both idealistic and realistic views of the likely results of Covid-19.
Placement tests in the process of teaching Serbian as a second language
Authors: Novaković Aleksandar , Tatar Nikola
Published: February 2021

The subject of this paper is to examine theoretical demands and probable practical solutions within the development of online placement tests for both teaching and learning Serbian as a second language. Placement tests are used in the practice of teaching a foreign language in order to determine the level of language with the aim of forming homogenous groups, and these tests, in addition, do not necessarily have to be standardised. The development of modern information-communication technologies has set new challenges for the insufficiently developed practice of teaching Serbian as a second language. Among all those challenges, the one that stands out is the development of online tests for determining the level of one's knowledge of the Serbian language. Accordingly, the main aim is to create an interactive test called Test Your Serbian, and it has shown, during its initial testing phase, an impressive degree of accuracy (100%) in determining the level of the Serbian language (as a second language).
Le rôle d’intermédiation des activités entrepreneuriales du middleground dans la circulation des idées créatives. Le cas du krautrock1
Authors: Muller Paul , Szostak Bérangère L. , Burger-Helmchen Thierry
Published: February 2021

Le modèle de l’écosystème créatif de Cohendet, Grandadam et Simon (2011) montre que les idées créatives peuvent circuler entre l’underground et l’upperground grâce au middleground. Ceci est rendu possible au travers de l’activation de quatre mécanismes spécifiques : les lieux, les espaces, les événements et les projets. Pourtant, peu de travaux empiriques explicitent les processus permettant leur activation. Nous explorons le rôle joué par les activités entrepreneuriales en insistant sur leurs apports en termes d’intermédiation. Nous développons notre argumentation au travers de l’étude d’un écosystème créatif de l’industrie de la musique, celui du krautrock, un courant musical ayant joué un rôle essentiel dans l’évolution esthétique des musiques actuelles depuis la fin des années soixante-dix. Une enquête qualitative sur des données historiques montre que ces activités entrepreneuriales (fondation de labels, ouverture de lieux de répétition, d’enregistrement et de concerts ou organisation de festival), jouent un rôle d’intermédiation prenant différentes formes suivant le type de mécanisme activé et qu’elles peuvent varier au fil du temps.
L’étude du travail de Martine Beaulne : la mise en corps de la tragédie en contexte de formation
Authors: Skelling Desmeules Marie-Eve
Published: February 2021

Cet article porte un regard pédagogique sur la mise en corps de la tragédie au sein d’un cours d’interprétation offert par Martine Beaulne à l’École supérieure de théâtre de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). S’appuyant sur le concept d’expérience et sur la théorie de l’activité, cette étude vise à mieux comprendre la manière dont les expériences de formation vécues dans ce cours invitent l’apprenant·e à se concentrer et à observer, à occuper le territoire de son corps et celui qui l’entoure, à s’engager dans une rythmique autre que celle du quotidien, à se laisser enivrer par la musique ainsi qu’à se nourrir d’images percutantes et d’objets dotés d’une forte symbolique.
Le dispositif scénique, contexte et corps-texte. Trois exemples : Résonances, Le Mobile, Provincetown Playhouse
Authors: Nadeau Carole
Published: February 2021

Cet article vise à souligner l’intérêt de la recherche-création à travers l’exploration d’une manière sensible, indisciplinée, flottante d’aborder la création scénique. D’une écriture matériau à la notion de corporéité, il propose trois exemples d’un faire scénique où la relation du texte et de son contexte constitue une projection opératoire et présente une diversité, générant une mixité stratégique soufflant à la fois le traditionnel et le contemporain.
Hamlet : écrire ou ne pas avoir écrit pour le fil de fer
Authors: Leroux Louis Patrick
Published: February 2021

Cet essai revient sur le processus de création d’une forme courte sise entre le théâtre, le cirque contemporain et l’installation sonore,Hamlet sur le fil. L’adaptation de la pièce-monument du répertoire occidental en contexte circassien a révélé à son auteur à quel point le brouillage des rôles et des écritures allait reposer sur les tensions entre texte, textualités et textures. Ce flou ontologique aura permis la création d’une oeuvre hybride reposant à la fois sur le geste assumé du déséquilibre acrobatique et sur un soliloque canonique composé d’acrobaties intellectuelles face à la recherche d’un équilibre. Il aura également permis d’envisager la figure d’Hamlet en funambule et en chercheur-créateur. L’essai offre un regard intime sur les processus de traduction, d’adaptation et de transposition d’une figure, d’un geste impossible et d’une parole canonique ayant pour caractéristique de mettre en scène le doute et la valse-hésitation devant la prise de risque rédemptrice.
‘Stranger Danger’ and the Gendered/Racialised Construction of Threats in Humanitarianism
Authors: Daigle Megan , Martin Sarah , Myrttinen Henri
Published: February 2021

Humanitarian, development and peacebuilding work has become increasingly
dangerous in recent decades. The securitisation of aid has been critiqued,
alongside the racialised and gendered dynamics of security provision for aid
actors. What has received less attention is how a range of intersectional
marginalisations – gender, racialisation, sexuality, nationality and
disability – play out in constructions of security, danger and fear in
aid deployments. Focusing on sexual harassment, abuse and violence as threats to
safety and security, the article examines how in training and guidance for
deployment to ‘the field’ (itself a problematically securitised
notion), danger is projected onto sexualised and racialised
‘locals’, often overlooking the potentially far greater threat
from colleagues. Here, we employ a review of security guidance, social media
groups, interviews with aid staffers and reflections on our own experiences to
explore how colonialist notions of security and ‘stranger danger’
play out in training. We argue that humanitarianism is still dominated by the
romanticised figure of the white, male humanitarian worker – even if this
problematic imaginary no longer reflects reality – and a space where
those questioning exclusionary constructs of danger are quickly silenced and
even ridiculed, even in the age of #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter.
