Quelles figures géographiques pour mobiliser contre quelles inégalités territoriales ?
Authors: DESJARDINS Xavier , ESTÈBE Philippe
Published: March 2023

Ce chapitre analyse trois inégalités territoriales, dont le refus a constitué le moteur de politiques publiques de longue durée depuis la Révolution française : la ligne Saint-Malo-Genève, villes-campagnes et Paris-province. Si d’autres représentations et discours géographiques existent bien sûr pour dénoncer des inégalités insupportables (notamment entre la France et les contrées conquises hors d’Europe), les auteurs ont choisi d’isoler ces trois-là, parce qu’elles continuent à infuser, à bas bruits et parfois inconsciemment, l’action publique contemporaine.
Intense Anticyclones at the Global Argentine Basin Array of the Ocean Observatory Initiative
Authors: Artana Camila , Provost Christine
Published: March 2023

Abstract. We analyzed physical oceanic parameters gathered by a mooring array at mesoscale spatial sampling deployed in Argentine Basin within the Ocean Observatory Initiative, a National Science Foundation Major Research Facility. The array was maintained at 42° S 42° W, a historically sparsely sampled region with small ocean variability, during 34 months from March 2015 to January 2018. The data documented four anticyclonic extreme structures events in 2016. The four anticyclonic structures had different characteristics (size, vertical extension, origin, lifetime, Rossby Number). They all featured near-inertial waves (NIWs) trapped at depth and low Richardson values well below the mixed layer. Low Richardson values suggest favorable conditions for mixing. The anticyclonic features likely act as mixing structures at the pycnocline bringing heat and salt from the South Atlantic Central Water to the Antarctic Intermediate Waters. The intense structures were unique in the 29-year-long satellite altimetry record at the mooring site. The Argentine Basin is populated with many anticyclones and mixing associated to trapped NIWs probably plays an important role in setting up the upper water masses characteristics in the Basin.
Earthquake Response Timeliness: Disaster Managers Experience in Responding to Earthquakes in Iran
Authors: Hassanzadeh Reza
Published: March 2023

Abstract. This paper explores the timeliness of main response activities in the Bam earthquake in order to shed light in disaster response effectiveness in the aftermath of the earthquake. Disaster managers who were involved in disaster response activities in the Bam earthquake were selected using snowball sampling method and 30 participants were interviewed. The interviews data were analyzed applying thematic analysis method. The results showed that the extensive damage and large number of casualties challenged the local emergency response services. The problem was compounded by the lack of personnel in the first few hours after the earthquake. Iran’s disaster management system was not prepared to cope with a disaster of this scale. According to the interview data, a response timeline to the earthquake was developed for 48 hours after the earthquake that can assist disaster manager in designing a proper action plan (strategic response plan) prior to an earthquake in the region. This is an efficient way of dealing with disaster response challenges in the aftermath of earthquakes.

Abstract. The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings have recently experienced several catastrophic glacier-related disasters. It is of great scientific and practical significance to establish ground-based early warning systems (EWS) to understand the processes and mechanisms of glacial disasters and warn against potential threats to downstream settlements and infrastructure. However, there are few sophisticated EWSs on the Tibetan Plateau. With the support of the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research Program, an EWS was developed and implemented in the Sedongpu Valley, southeastern Tibetan Plateau, where repeated river blockages have occurred due to ice/rock collapse debris flow. The EWS collected datasets of optical/thermal videos/photos, geophone waveforms, water levels, and meteorological variables in this sparsely populated zone. It has successfully warned against three ice-rock collapse-debris flow - river blockage chain events and seven small-scale ice-rock collapse-debris flow events. Meanwhile, it was found that the low-cost geophone can effectively indicate the occurrence and magnitude of ice/rock collapses by local thresholds, and water level observation is an efficient way to warn of river blockages. Our observations showed that several factors, such as the volume and location of the collapses and the percentage of ice content involved, influence the velocities of debris flows and the magnitude of river blockages. There are still two possible glaciers in the study area that are at risk of ice collapse. It is worth monitoring their dynamic changes using high-resolution satellite data and the ground-based EWS to safeguard the surrounding hydrological projects and infrastructure in this transboundary region.
Hydrothermal treatment of sludge for dewaterability improvement and value-adding applications
Authors:   , Ebrahimi Majid
Published: March 2023

High water content and pollutant levels in sludge not only have limited sludge application but also imposed significant additional costs on the industry sector in Australia. Dewatering of sludge is considered a challenging task due to the sludge floc structures and high molecular weight metabolites. Hydrothermal treatment (HTT) has been proven to be a powerful approach for improving sludge dewaterability. In this thesis, different lignocellulosic biomasses were blended with HTT of sludge to comprehensively study the effect of biomass type on dewatering performance, properties of HTT-solid fraction (hydrochar), soil application of hydrochars, and techno-economic of the HTT process.
Creating a novel region finding approach to provide good solutions to mixed-integer problems
Authors:   , Owen Jamie
Published: March 2023

This project is an exploration of using a novel approach to solve a common optimisation problem called a MILP. The approach is novel as instead of optimising to find a solution, it optimises a region that is guaranteed to contain a solution. This novel approach was taken because current exact solving methods can struggle with large problems, while approximate solving techniques can require extensive setup and tuning.
‘Emptiness’ and ‘Nothingness’ as Key Elements to Conveying and Understanding Meaning in Japanese Calligraphy
Authors: Tudorică Ioana-Ciliana
Published: March 2023

The article analyses one of Japanese calligraphy’s (shodō 書道) particularities: the notion of “emptiness”, “nothingness”. This concept can be observed in different layers of the art: from the white of the paper, to the movement of the brush after it has been lifted from the paper to the interpretative process. In this way, there are instances of “emptiness” during several stages of creation and understanding of a calligraphic work. In order to illustrate this, our article will analyse two shodō 書道 works, pinpointing the use of “emptiness”, or “nothingness”, and the effect they create for the calligraphic work as a whole. We conclude that in order to grasp the transcendent meaning, one must take into account all elements present within a calligraphic work, including the instances of “emptiness”.

This study reviews the value chain literature and government-sponsored programs related to the orchid industry and related industries and extracts the value innovation types of each program to construct a value chain for Taiwan’s orchid industry. In addition, this study uses correspondence analysis to compare different types of applicants and different time periods to understand the trends in the allocation of government resources to promote orchid-related research and the distribution of resources. The research samples for this study were drawn from three major databases: the Government Research Bulletin Research Project, the Ministry of Science and Technology Grant Research Project and the Agricultural Project Management System of the Council of Agriculture from 1991 to 2020, which contained a total of 2,809 projects. The study finally concluded with the identification of six main value activities and six supporting value activities in the value chain of the orchid industry, and further details of innovation under each thematic framework. The results of the correspondence analysis showed that the research institutions had the widest range of value innovation activities. The education system focused on value innovation activities such as "genetic engineering research", "production technology", "orchid extraction and value-added applications", etc., while the government agencies and not-for-profit promotion organizations focused on innovation in management knowledge such as "marketing management" and "industrial structure improvement". As to the industry, it has applied for innovations in "genetic engineering research" and "value-added applications of orchid extraction". In addition, a cross-period comparison showed that the main value innovation activities were focused on "genetic engineering research" in the early stages and "variety improvement and breeding", "marketing management", and "production technology" in the middle and late stages. Supporting value activities have only recently begun to be emphasized with "industrial structure improvement" and "orchid extraction and value-added applications" as their main axes of innovations. The value chain of the orchid industry constructed in this study can be used as a reference for government policy formulation, project subsidies, and practical management of enterprises.

 
逆向房貸與退休族群消費及經濟成長間關係之探討
Authors: 林左裕 林左裕 , Tsoyu Calvin Lin 徐士勛
Published: March 2023

我國政府於2015年開始辦理商業型逆向抵押貸款 (reverse mortgage)，俗稱「以房養老」，旨在協助擁有不動產的高齡族群解決其資產中不動產流動性不足的問題，進而達成活化資產之目的。自2015年開辦至2020年底，商業型不動產逆向抵押貸款核貸件數僅有四千餘件。為了解他國實施之經驗及對消費及經濟之影響，本研究以美國經驗為例，探討以房養老制度是否能達到刺激老年族群消費動能並帶動整體經濟環境的活絡。本研究以自我迴歸分配落遲模型，分析美國2010年第一季至2018年第二季高齡者消費支出、經濟成長率與逆向房貸數量及其他總體經濟變數間之關係。實證結果顯示，依美國之經驗，逆向房貸之推動確實可顯著增加高齡人口之消費支出額，亦可顯著提升經濟成長。因此，參考美國經驗，政府應多加推廣以房養老政策，使銀髮族群透過此機制活化資產，進而刺激消費動能，以達到永續活絡整體經濟之目的。

 

In solving the problems of healthcare, along with its longevity, the Taiwan government introduced the reverse mortgage (RM) mechanism for retired groups to revitalize real estate for their living and healthcare expenses. However, there were only less than 5,000 applications for the RM from 2015 to 2020. This study explores the experience of RM implemented in the US through employing the volume of RM applications and other macroeconomic variables on retired individuals’ consumption, and the subsequent economic momentum in the Auto-Regression Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The sample period ranges from 2010Q1 to 2018Q2. Empirical results suggest that the RM application volume has a significant positive effect on the consumption of the elderly and economic growth. Taiwan’s government can take the experience in the U.S. as a lesson to revitalize the real estate properties of retired individuals, stimulate their consumption, solve healthcare problems, and continue economic development.

 
Writing Mobility, Writing Stillness: Silvia Mistral’s Transatlantic Displacements
Authors: Linhard Tabea Alexa
Published: March 2023

The article shows that mobility and stillness are entangled with one another and that specific mobile subjects are, following Michael Rothberg’s work, implicated in the stillness of others. The analysis focuses on figures negotiating tensions between mobility and stillness: deported workers traveling from Cuba to Spain in 1931, soldiers and civilians meeting in a hotel during the Spanish Civil War in 1938, and Spanish refugees interacting with locals in Martinique during an unexpected layover in 1939. Mistral’s works cross borders between countries and national literatures and this article considers her writing in relation to Katherine Anne Porter’s novel Ship of Fools, to competing and transnational narratives about race and class during the Spanish Civil War, and to the works of Martinican writers.
Dogs and the Politics of Il|legal Border-Crossing: Suad Amiry’s Sharon and My Mother-in-Law and Marios Piperides’s Smuggling Hendrix
Authors: Evangelou Angelos
Published: March 2023

This article merges border and animal studies through a comparative study of Suad Amiry’s memoir Sharon and My Mother-in-Law: Ramallah Diaries (2005, Palestine) and Marios Piperides’s film Smuggling Hendrix (2018, Cyprus). Engaging with the concepts of border aesthetics, border logic, and border law, the article draws attention to the function of animal characters (dogs) and illustrates their becoming platforms of anti-border politics. Both narratives explore the difference between human and animal experiences of borders and border-crossing, and through the fictionalized adventures of Nura and Jimi render borders simultaneously penetrable and comical. Their ability to legally or illegally cross the same borders their human owners are confronted with equips authors with ample opportunity for sharp political critique, largely invested in exposing the absurdity borders generate. Assigning these dogs with different legal statuses (Nura has a passport and crosses the border legally while Jimi crosses underground), Amiry and Piperides scrutinize the association between illegal border-crossing and resistance, demonstrating how it is only the contestation of border law which alone undermines border logic. The article thus exposes the complex tension between the political gain produced by the politicization of these animals vis-à-vis their becoming border-crossers, and the implications of this gesture for animals.
Leading through the sermon
Authors: Austnaberg Hans
Published: March 2023

As the subject of leading through the sermon is to a large extent absent in homiletical literature, this article investigates how the sermon can be used as a tool in leading church development processes. The area of research is the Church of Norway and congregations involved in strategic processes of church development are in focus. Normally, it is the minister who preaches in the Church of Norway services and the research question asks what options the ministers have to lead church development through their sermons. The material for analysis is homiletical literature from the last 25 years that combine preaching and leadership. I understand the leadership of ministers as strategic and spiritual leadership. I have found that ministers can lead church development processes through sermons, when they are conscious about the possibilities of sermons to do so, when they see the congregation and not the individual as the target group of preaching, when they place the sermon firmly within the congregation’s life system, when they engage the external context, when they lead the congregation toward shared goals, and when they prioritise the theological dimension of the congregation. The author asks for more research, and especially empirical research investigating to what extent ministers in practice are leading the congregations through their sermons.

A constructivist grounded theory of counselling psychologists’ in-the-moment decision-making process about touching their clients
Authors: Damon Helen , Ayling Russel , Lodge Rosemary
Published: March 2023

Background

Clinician-client touch is controversial, and seemingly widespread. However, talking therapists report little-to-no training on it and major accrediting bodies offer no explicit guidance. Consequently, some clinicians feel a lack confidence and competence around touch and fear accusations of bad practice. There is no research on counselling psychologists’ (CoPs’) ‘in-the-moment’ (in-session) decision-making process about touching their clients. Hence, this study aimed to develop a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) of this process to facilitate best practice by identifying issues and evaluating and recommending changes to existing models, guidelines, and training.

Methodology

Following a CGT methodology, cycles of semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine CoPs, one clinical psychologist and two body psychotherapists about their process. The interview transcripts were analysed following Charmaz’s (2014) three-stage CGT coding process.

Findings

A dual process model of touch-decision-making was produced, with the core category ‘weighing the predicted balance of appropriateness’: participants use an embodied sense of ‘felt appropriateness’ and a cognitive process of ‘considering the appropriateness’ to assess whether a ‘touch-related action’ is likely to be experienced as minimising harm and maximising therapeutic benefit to the client.

Conclusion

The findings indicate a need for a CoP ‘professional stance’ towards touch-decision-making and talking about and upholding touch-boundaries in clinical practice.
Solution Circles: What do we know about the use of Solution Circles in Educational Psychology (EP) practice and do they work in the context of online collaborative problem solving?
Authors: Darwin Claire , Booker Roger
Published: March 2023

Aims:

This paper sets out to find out more about the use of Solution Circles (SCs) in EP practice and to consider the benefits and impact associated with this process.

Method:

The literature search provides information about SCs being used by EPs. The role of graphic facilitation is also considered. Practice-based evidence is shared alongside the summary of a literature review which focuses on the use of SCs within education settings.

Findings:

SCs are used in a variety of ways such as in collaborative problem solving and supervision. Reported benefits and limitations are similar. For example, staff particularly value the structured process, having dedicated time to think and reflect whilst being supported by skilled process and graphic facilitators.

Limitations:

There are several versions of the process as well as different delivery models being used for a variety of purposes. However, as the review question was exploratory in nature, the different versions may be considered and provide useful information to reflect upon when considering the use of SCs in EP practice.

Conclusions:

We conclude that SCs are effective in the context of online collaborative problem solving. Information shared in this paper supports next steps for the use SCs as a multiagency online consultation/problem solving in the principal author’s Local Authority.

Published: March 2023

Coach maturation: understanding the why, what and how has the potential to influence the coaching profession in its own journey of professionalisation. This paper seeks to provide some insight to how experienced coaches understand their own development processes. With a few exceptions, little has been published on coach development and the literature evidences its strong emphasis on client development leaving a vital knowledge gap in coaches’ learning and development. This study aims to address this void by exploring experienced coaches’ experience of their developmental journeys by employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a research methodology. We purposively selected 46 experienced coaches and interviewed 32 using semi-structured interviews. The findings appeared as a series of narratives, nonlinear, and no logical sequence, it could be defined as ‘messy’. The narratives are: Vehicles of Development, Awareness, Letting Go, Ethical Practice and Characteristics of the Becoming of a Coach. These narratives collectively explain how coaches subjectively approach their often-unplanned development. The findings offer a unique research-based contribution to the literature on coach development with implications for coach education.

The study was aimed at developing topical gel containing papain as the drug and assessing its antipsoriatic activity. Carbopol was used as the polymer and drug-excipient compatibility was ascertained by infrared spectroscopy (Fourier transform) and differential scanning calorimetry. All prepared formulations were evaluated for viscosity, pH, homogeneity, extrudability, spreadability, in vitro diffusion and release kinetics. Anti-proliferative activity was determined on HaCaT cell line. The optimized formulation, F2 exhibited pH 6.8, optimum viscosity, extrudability and spreadability for convenient use. The optimized formulation followed Higuchi kinetic model with release mechanism being super-case two transport. The anti-proliferative activity of optimized formulation on HaCaT cell line showed only 3.9 % cells to be viable with respect to control confirming its efficacy in treating psoriasis. The gel exhibited stability under accelerated stability conditions.

Los caninos superiores impactados representan un reto para el ortodoncista tratante debido a que pueden producir complicaciones derivadas de la prolongación del tiempo de tratamiento, tales como: inflamación de tejidos blandos, aparición de caries, descalcificaciones, reabsorción radicular, pérdida de colaboración por parte del paciente. Adicionalmente, los folículos de los caninos superiores impactados están asociados a reabsorción radicular de dientes vecinos, principalmente incisivos laterales superiores. Los caninos superiores impactados requieren de la intervención de un equipo interdisciplinario y pueden ser manejados por la técnica quirúrgica de exposición abierta, la cual es más rápida y eficiente. Presentación de caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 10 años de edad, con diagnóstico de maloclusión clase III, fue manejado integrando dos fases de tratamiento. La Fase I de ortopedia dento-facial, que consistió en expansión palatina rápida con tracción anterior mediante máscara de Delaire, utilizada 14 horas al día con 350 gramos por lado durante 12 meses. La Fase II de ortodoncia correctiva con aparatología fija de Straight Wire 0.22 prescripción de Roth durante 15 meses. Los caninos superiores impactados se encontraban en relación con una deficiencia de espacio superior de 14 mm. Una vez obtenido el espacio, fueron descubiertos quirúrgicamente por el cirujano buco-maxilofacial y traccionados hacia el arco. Se terminó el caso en Clase I molar y canina, corrigiendo la oclusión y mejorando la estética facial. Permitiendo una solución integral del caso, que le devolvió su función y estética al paciente.

Authors: Rodríguez Mónica
Published: March 2023

La restauración de los molares con diagnóstico de Hipomineralización Incisivo-Molar (HIM) representan un reto para el profesional de la Odontología, ya que la mayoría de los pacientes presenta pérdida frecuente de las restauraciones a consecuencia de la deficiente calidad del sustrato dentario, dificultades en el bloqueo anestésico derivadas de la hipersensibilidad dental y la afectación pulpar que dificultan la higiene originando lesiones de caries. El propósito de esta revisión de la literatura es describir las alternativas de tratamiento que permitan obtener restauraciones más longevas de los molares hipomineralizados en niños. La consulta electrónica se realizó mediante la base de datos Pubmed, Google Académico y Cochrane Library, utilizando las palabras: “Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, treatment, MIH” entre los años 2010-2019. Se concluye que para la selección del material de restauración y el diseño de la preparación deberá tomarse en cuenta la edad dental y la conducta del paciente, la severidad del defecto y la expectativa de los padres.  Debe seguir difundiéndose información relacionada con el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la HIM mientras persistan las discrepancias entre los clínicos que tratan este defecto del desarrollo del esmalte.

Authors: Morales Jofre Lisseth , Fernández Patricia
Published: March 2023

El paciente comprometido cardiovascularmente es susceptible a los estímulos físicos y emocionales presentes en la consulta endodóntica.  El especialista en Endodoncia debe conocer los posibles riesgos de eventos adversos antes, durante y después de la realización de un tratamiento endodóntico quirúrgico y/o no quirúrgico y además debe contar con la información actualizada acerca de las posibles complicaciones para evitarlas o mitigar su efecto. Este artículo de revisión bibliográfica busca apuntar las consideraciones clínicas que deben tomarse en cuenta ante la presencia de un paciente con patología cardiovascular y la relación de estas enfermedades con la salud endodóntica. Se realizó una búsqueda electrónica a través de PUBMED, Scielo, Google Académico y Trip Data-Base con las palabras “Hipertensión arterial, enfermedades cardiovasculares, manejo endodóntico” entre los años 2013-2019, en español e inglés. Se concluye que los pacientes que presentan Hipertensión arterial, enfermedad cardíaca congestiva, soplos cardíacos o patología valvular y/o dispositivos cardioimplantados, pueden ser sometidos a tratamientos endodónticos bajo estrictas precauciones y consideraciones clínicas que dependen del grado de severidad y estado de salud actual del paciente.

Published: March 2023

El brote del SARS-CoV-2 en China durante diciembre 2019 mostró una transmisibilidad moderada, que luego en el mundo globalizado, se transformó en pandemia a partir de marzo 2020. Se están enfocando todos los esfuerzos científicos a nivel mundial para que se disponga de un tratamiento, cura o vacuna segura y eficiente, para que se controle y detenga la expansión y progresión del COVID-19. Entre tanto, se aplican medidas de prevención y control epidemiológico, conjuntamente con la atención sanitaria para evitar los contagios, la evolución del COVID-19 y las muertes. Este ensayo pretende describir la biología del SARS-CoV-2 y su presencia en saliva como una potencial vía contagio que obliga al desarrollo de cambios conductuales y la aplicación de protocolos de bioseguridad más estrictos para la atención odontológica del paciente, mientras se alcanza la inmunidad colectiva mundial para este virus.

This study presents a novel framework to help people with color impairment in identifying colors. The proposed framework consists of three stages. These stages are electronically performing the Ishihara test, performing the color blindness type recognition test, and guiding the person to color by voice. The first stage, the person is subjected to an electronic color blindness test, by displaying different plates containing several points of different sizes and colors. The person is required to correctly identify the number or shape in the plate and at the end, the system determines the extent to which a person is color blind. The second stage is a color recognition test to determine the type of color blindness. If there is difficulty in determining red, this is called protanopia. But the difficulty in identifying the green color is called deuteranopia. While the inability to recognize the blue color is called tritanopia. And finally, the difficulty in identifying the colored style is called achromatopsia. The third stage is assistance phase and is divided into three subsectors are: smart educational system, identifying colors and extracting the content. The proposed system differs from other systems in that it is an integrated system. It includes identifying color blindness, determining its type, and finally aiding color blindness person. Also, it is the first system that deals with the rare type of color blindness called achromatopsia in addition to its other three types. The results obtained confirmed that the proposed system as well as the smart educational system are characterized by high accuracy and effectiveness.

Operations research is the applied side of mathematics, and since its inception it has helped to improve the performance of many systems that used its methods in its workflow, one of the methods of operations research is the theory of queues that have been used in many aspects of life, especially the aspects that are directly related to customer service, and the goal is to serve the customer as soon as possible and at the lowest cost, which prompted many researchers to provide the research and studies that can be applied in systems that have a queue.These studies showed good results, from these studies this research is presented to find the optimal value of the service rate in the unlimited model according to classical logic, we present in this research a study to find the relationship through which we get the optimal value of the service rate using neutrosophic logic and this study is an expansion of the study according to classical logic, through the two studies The great benefit we get when using neutrosophic logic and neutrosophic values in operations research topics is demonstrated.
Poetry, Self-erasure and the Trace: Writing counter-history from an embodied archive
Authors:   RMIT, Markidis Stefanie
Published: March 2023

This essay presents a poetic life writing practice developed through material exploration with diaries, to expose hidden, unwritten traces of anorexic experience that escape the archival page. Anorexia flouts tenets of traditional autobiography, skewing memory and breaking the ‘autobiographical pact’ of a truthful and consistent narrator. This article presents poetic digression and fragmentation to perform physical and cognitive anorexic intensities. This writing offers a counter-history to archival documents, leaden as they were with the voices of anorexia and medical discourse.
