Les expression météorologiques. Une approche contrastive allemand / luxembourgeois / français
Authors: Krier Fernande 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Every day, we are confronted with meteorology, the scientific study of the atmospheric phenomena and their variations. The purpose of this article is to analyze the meteorological events in three languages, Luxemburgish and two other official languages of Luxembourg, French and German. First, we make a detailed inventory of verbs and verbal phrases which we found. Next, they are explained and commented; while there are seventeen items in French and German, there are eighteen in Luxem-burgish; so, the meteorological experiences are organized rather homogeneously. Then we deal with the lexicological specifications. In French, we discover the lightness of the meteorological phenomenon; it is followed by examples of atmospheric disturbances, which exist in German and Luxemburgish, too. A special focus of the article is put on the presentation of metaphorical expressions. Finally, we put the question if two meteorological events can appear at the same time.
The situation of English speaker’s place of origin depending on Chinese dialects
Authors: Wang Min 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This study examines the ability to identify different Chinese dialects through the English language and evaluates how often respondents pay attention to phonological features and rate of speech to explain their categorizations. The research includes 100 Chinese undergraduate students and 100 young people without advanced degrees aged 20 to 25. Discrete independent data samples collected during the interview of participants are analyzed with the help of such statistical methods as Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Wilcoxon's test. The obtained results indirectly show the ability of respondents to identify native and non-native English speakers around the world, as well as determine their nationality. The outcomes of the paper explicate who, in general, categorize Chinese dialects better and which dialects are the most recognizable. Research data reveal a high degree of stereotypization of various dialects, especially the Beijing and U dialects. Moreover, based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that speaking rate significantly affects the perception and classification of a speaker from a particular province of China.
Research on the impact of expressway on its peripheral land use in Hunan Province, China
Authors: Zhixue Li , Zhongxiang Huang , Songlin Zhou 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the scope and magnitude of the impact of expressways and their entrances and exits, as well as the effects of environmental and socio-economic factors on those impacts. Based on multi-period remote-sensing images and land use/land cover change data, the expressway lines and entrances and exits in Hunan Province, China, in 2015 are selected as the research objects. The Urbanization Impact Index (U) and the Impact Strength Index (E) are used to characterize the impact of the expressway on peripheral land use. Geographic information system spatial analysis and correlation analysis methods are also used in this research. The results show that (1) the scope of the expressway impact is 8.4 km and that of the entrances and exits is 8.8 km, of which the impact is considered strong within 0.2 and 3.2 km, respectively; (2) environmental and socio-economic conditions have no obvious effect on the impact scope of the expressways but have a weak effect on the impact scope of the entrances and exits; and (3) regions with more complex terrain and a lower level of socio-economic development have the larger impact scope as well as a stronger impact.
An Experimental Study on the Properties of Recycled High-Density Polyethylene
Authors: Toroslu A. G. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Recycling of plastic materials has become more environmentally important than recycling of other materials. The most important problem during recycling is the presence of oil, dirt, dust and metal particles that are mixed with plastic materials. These mixtures can change their its mechanical and physical properties and it is quite costly to remove them completely. Removing iron alloy particles from plastic is possible by using the magnetic method. However, removing non-metallic materials requires extra processing. In this study, the use of recycled High-Density Polyethylene (rHDPE) without an expensive cleaning processes has been investigated. Different amounts of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) were added to High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) to simulate the effect of non-metallic material involved. The effect of these contamination rates on the mechanical and physical properties of HDPE was examined in detail. For this purpose, recyclable materials were produced by mixing rHDPE with 1%, to 7% Al2O3
. The results show that up to 7% of the mixture has acceptable effects on the properties of HDPE. When the results of the experiments are examined, it is observed that there is a 3.74% change in the elastic modulus of the material. This means, that up to 7% non-metal contaminated rHDPE material can be used without any costly recycling process.
Synergistic Flame-Retardant Effect of Aluminum Diethyl Phosphinate in PP/IFR System and the Flame-Retardant Mechanism

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Synergistic flame-retardant effect of aluminum diethyl phosphinate (AlPi) in intumescent flame retardant polypropylene (PP/IFR) system and the flame-retardant mechanism were investigated. The flame retardancy of PP/IFR/AlPi (the mass ratio of IFR to AlPi is 2 : 1) was the best, which was proved by the results of the limiting oxygen index (LOI) test, UL-94 test, and cone calorimeter test ( CCT) test. Here, the LOI value of the sample was as high as 34% and passed the V–0 rating in UL–94 test. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) decreased by 92.57%, the total heat release (THR) reduced by 90.52%. Thermogravimetric (TGA) data showed that the introduction of AlPi improved thermal stability and changed the thermal degradation behavior of PP/IFR composites. Interestingly, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) proved that PP/IFR/AlPi had formed more residual carbon, but the flame retardancy was worse than PP/IFR/AlPi. This is because when the mass ratio of IFR to AlPi is 2 : 1, the synergy between IFR and AlPi was significant, gas-phase flame retardant and condensed-phase flame retardant reached a balance and obtained the best flame retardant effect.
Estonian words for ‘field’ in historical dictionaries
Authors: Metsmägi Iris , Oja Vilja 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The article gives an overview of Estonian landscape terms meaning ‘field’ in historical dictionaries. The main equivalents for English field in Estonian are põld, nurm and väli. Neither in standard Estonian nor in the dialects, these three words are full synonyms. In the historical dictionaries, the Estonian words occur first in the 17th century as translations of German Acker, Feld and Ackerfeld. Later, for example in the Estonian-German dictionary, published in 1869, their meanings are more precisely defined. The semantic relations of the words in dialect speech and their interpretation in the historical dictionaries will be analysed. The three words are used in all Finnic languages. Comparing the words with dialect and cognate language data, their semantic differences and distribution in dialects will be introduced.
A systematic review of culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy using confidence intervals
Authors: Young Jemimah , Young Jamaal 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Prior research fails to support the future implementation of culturally responsive teaching. We argue that imparting culturally responsive teaching practices in the curriculum is insufficient and that preservice teacher education should instead look to support the implementation of these practices in subsequent teaching. The purpose of this literature synthesis was to characterize preservice teachers’ culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy. Thus, the researchers focused on estimating normative scores for preservice teachers by calculating and comparing mean point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy (CRTSE) scale strength indices across studies. A total of 14 independent studies representing N = 1,026 preservice teachers and 21 independent measures of CRTSE were included in this literature synthesis. Preservice teacher mean scores on the CRTSE scale were characterized by visual interpretation of plots of the 95% confidence intervals. Based on the results, teacher educators can expect the average preservice teacher to be 70–83% certain of their ability to implement culturally responsive teaching. The data also indicate that CRTSE differs across preservice teacher specialization. Finally, the data also suggest that the representation of preservice teachers of color impacts the CRTSE score confidence intervals. Implications for teacher education, preservice teacher recruitment, and culturally responsive teaching are provided.
Like Father, Unlike Son: Reluctant Heirs in Contemporary Western Literature
Authors: Hanhart-Marmor Yona 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This study analyses the contemporary narrator’s paradoxical legitimacy and reveals how it mirrors the equally paradoxical filiation that is taking on new shape in contemporary thought. It also addresses the ability of literature to form unexpected connections; sheds new light on the nature of contemporary filiation by linking it to the spiritual filiation in Christianity; and addresses the definition of filiation itself within literary texts as reflecting some of the main issues of contemporary filiation. The study begins with the examination of the status of the narrator in several contemporary works, revealing one of the most interesting paradoxes of contemporary literature, and going on to analyze the configuration of a conceptual model in which paradoxical filiation becomes the condition for the emergence of success from a narrative of failure.
Pluricentricity and minority languages: the difficult case of North Frisian
Authors: Langer Nils 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Common definitions of pluricentricity rely on the notions of centre, nation, and norm, frequently without, however, offering sufficient detail on what precisely these mean. These terms are often applied to classify languages as pluricentric or not, without adequately recognising intra-linguistic variation and dynamics of power within a speaker community (language ownership). Using the example of a national minority language from North-West Germany, North Frisian, this article discusses how a narrow reading of the definition of pluricentricity would deny such a status to this language, when in fact the sociolinguistic situation of North Frisian matches that of many acknowledged pluricentric languages. Instead, the article suggests that the term nation should no longer be equated with state, that the term centre be further specified to determine what institution or which individuals have authority over language, and that the term norm be more clearly articulated to account for the variability in “correct” language use.
Same Goal, Different Paths, Different Class: Women’s Feminist Political Engagements in Kosovo from the Mid-1970s until the Mid-1990s
Authors: Krasniqi Elife 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The year 1989, when Serbia revoked Kosovo’s autonomy, was a break that changed also the course of women’s political engagements. Women had always to negotiate and strategise with different layers of power and against different forms of oppression—state and patriarchal oppression and cultural racism as well as class oppression. The author highlights the convergences and divergences of women’s political activism in the political dynamics of late socialism and then in the 1990s in Kosovo. She looks at gender, class and national dimensions of women’s political engagements with a focus on women who were part of the underground resistance movement commonly known as Ilegalja in the 1970s and 1980s as well as women intellectuals who held high state positions and were considered a part of the elite. After 1989, many engaged in the peacaful resistance movement of the 1990s.
The Discourse about Kosovo in Bosnia-Herzegovina, 1981–1989
Authors: Kamberović Husnija 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The author analyses the discourse about Kosovo in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) during the 1980s. During these years, Serbian media developed several stereotypes to discredit the political leaders of BiH and accuse them of fomenting unrest in Kosovo. The author assesses these stereotypical depictions as well as the response of the Islamic Community and political leadership in BiH to these accusations. He asks what the attitude of Serbia’s political elite towards BiH was, and what role the Serbian political leadership played in the media attacks. He then investigates the evolution of the BiH leadership’s stances towards the events in Kosovo between the beginning and the end of the 1980s. And finally, through a close reading of session minutes and media, he assesses the increasingly deviating views of the BiH political leaders vis-á-vis the situation in Kosovo.
In the Shadow of Kosovo. Divergent National Pathways and the Politics of Differentiation in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Pichler Robert 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The author examines the roots of Albanian nationalism in Yugoslavia, focusing on the Socialist Republic of Macedonia (SRM). He displays regional historical developments, interethnic relations, and Kosovo’s political impact upon Albanians in Macedonia. By analysing Macedonian and Albanian nation-building processes from an entangled and comparative perspective, he sheds light on shifting power constellations, divergent social developments, and asynchronous processes of national emancipation. After the occurrence in 1981 of Albanian demonstrations in Kosovo and in western Macedonia, officials in the SRM aimed at counteracting Albanian nationalism with a policy of differentiation—that is, they aimed at drawing a clear dividing line between Albanians loyal or disloyal to Yugoslavia. This punitive policy failed on all levels, further deepening the social divisions between the two major ethnic communities of the SRM and alienating even those Albanians well integrated in the common state and republic.
Producing and Cracking Kosovo Myths. The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Emergence and Critique of a New Ethnonationalism, 1984 – 1990
Authors: Stefanov Nenad 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The author analyses how the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) has gained significance for the new leadership of the League of Communists in Serbia since the mid-1980s. With its authority as a scientific institution, the SANU legitimised the political measures implemented to centralise and consolidate authoritarian rule. The new perception of the Yugoslav crisis, marked by ethnicisation and self-victimisation, used Kosovo as the focus and became the dominant stance on the war and authoritarian rule of the 1990s. However, as the author shows, a critique of these developments needs to be included in the analysis in order to adequately grasp the tense dynamics.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic (IA) electrostatic solitary waves (SWs) is studied in a magnetized electron–ion (e–i) plasma in the presence of pressure anisotropy with electrons following Tsallis distribution. The Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) type equation is derived by employing the reductive perturbation method (RPM) and its solitary wave (SW) solution is determined and analyzed. The effect of nonextensive parameter q, parallel component of anisotropic ion pressure p
1, perpendicular component of anisotropic ion pressure p
2, obliqueness angle θ, and magnetic field strength Ω on the characteristics of SW structures is investigated. The present investigation could be useful in space and astrophysical plasma systems.
Agency through partnership in neurodiverse college learning communities
Authors: Fisher Lydia Indira 
Published: November 2021

This article examines the work of creating collaborative learning partnerships that fully include students with intellectual disabilities. The article reviews the scholarship of partnership as a starting point in discussing learning environments that support students with significant intellectual disabilities—a group that has only recently been encouraged to enroll in colleges and universities. The authors—a faculty member and two former undergraduate mentors in the University Studies program at Portland State University—offer reflections on their time partnering as facilitators of courses that include students with intellectual disabilities. They then analyze those reflections in relation to the scholarship of partnership and special education. The article presents evidence that the partnership approach to learning is more fully realized through intentional investment in universal design for learning principles and extended support networks invested in collaboration and interpersonal relationship. These approaches effectively bring students with disabilities into the center of educational environments and maintain their agency in shaping their learning communities.

Quantitative Easing and the U.S. Stock Market: A Decision Tree Analysis
Authors: Bhar Ramaprasad , Malliaris A.G. , Malliaris Mary 
Published: November 2021

The Financial Crisis of 2007-09 caused the U.S. economy to experience a relatively long recession from December 2007 to June 2009. Both the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve undertook expansive fiscal and monetary policies to minimize both the severity and length of the recession. Most notably, the Federal Reserve initiated three rounds of unconventional monetary policies known as Quantitative Easing. These policies were intended to reduce long-term interest rates when the short term federal funds rates had reached the zero lower bound and could not become negative. It was argued that the lowering of longer-term interest rates would help the stock market and thus the wealth of consumers. This paper investigates this hypothesis and concludes that quantitative easing has contributed to the observed increases in the stock market’s significant recovery since its crash due to the financial crisis
Docência, gênero e processos formativos
Authors: Xavier Libania Nacif 
Published: November 2021

O artigo propõe uma reflexão em torno das práticas de mediação pedagógica configuradas na docência, a partir da experiência da Professora Rosa. Ela atuou numa escola localizada em um complexo de favelas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro: a Maré. Tendo como base os depoimentos concedidos pela professora, vamos destacar um conjunto de questões ligadas ao lugar de gênero e de pertencimento social que se cruzam com as táticas de sobrevivência de uma migrante nordestina na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e moldam o repertório de práticas de mediação cultural/pedagógicas elaboradas e postas em ação na referida instituição escolar. Está dividido em cinco seções: a primeira desenvolve uma breve reflexão sobre docência, questões de gênero, classe e preconceito de lugar; a segunda aborda a trajetória pessoal e formativa da Professora Rosa; a terceira destaca algumas de suas práticas de mediação pedagógica na escola da Maré; a quarta reflete sobre as dimensões simbólicas que permeiam a docência como profissão associada ao gênero feminino, analisando os seus rebatimentos nas representações sobre o espaço doméstico/privado e o espaço público da escola; a quinta e última seção indica algumas das práticas de mediação que a professora, então atuando como Diretora, estabeleceu com a comunidade de fora da escola e as Considerações Finais retomam algumas ideias chave apresentadas no artigo.
Criminal Law Measures Providing for the Treatment of Socially Significant Diseases: a Mandatory Application or a Selective Addition
Authors: Merkuryev Viktor , Zvonov Andrey , Yakovlev Andrey 
Published: November 2021

Modern society faces a serious problem of preserving the health of people. Currently, there are some wide-spread diseases that are highly dangerous because they are easily transmitted and have a high mortality rate. These diseases compose a group of socially significant diseases, their list is approved by the Decree of the RF Go­vernment of Dec. 1, 2004 No. 715. One of the key institutes of counteracting the spread of socially significant diseases is the institute of criminal law measures. A number of clauses of the RF Criminal Code regulate mandatory treatment of criminally liable persons. The use of criminal law measures is regulated by Art. 72.1, 73, 79, 82.1 and Ch. 15 of the RF Criminal Code, while Art. 18 of the RF Penitentiary Code determines the procedure of using medical measures to treat persons sentenced to punishments involving isolation from the society. However, the non-mandatory and ambiguous procedure of prescribing mandatory treatment for socially significant di­seases through criminal law means creates difficulties in organizing a comprehensive approach to treating such diseases. In the process of their research, the authors ascertained that it is necessary to adopt an uncompromising approach in prescribing treatment of a socially significant disease by using criminal law measures to a person suffering from such a disease. This goal could be achieved by replacing the phrase «could hold accountable» to «holds accountable» in the clauses of Art. 72.1, 73 and 79 of the RF Criminal Code. It is suggested that the legal limitation of the use of mandatory treatment for convicts isolated from the society should be abolished by elimina­ting the words «which is connected with danger to themselves or other persons» from Part 2, Art. 18 of the RF Penitentiary Code. Related problems arise during the mandatory treatment of psychiatric disorders that are socially significant diseases too. Thus, the elimination of legal problems of treating socially significant diseases through criminal law measures will increase the effectiveness of criminal legislation from the standpoint of its social function — the protection of the society and its representatives.
