Simulational Realism—Playing as Trying to Remember
Authors: Wojnowski Konrad 
Published: December 2018

Summary
In this text, I describe a specific way of addressing the past in video games which are set in historical times but at the same time deliberately undermine the facticity of their virtual worlds. By grounding my argument in analyses of two blockbuster productions—Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft, 2007) and Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision, 2010)—I introduce and define the notion of “simulational realism”. Both games belong to best-selling franchises and share an interesting set of features: they relate to historical places, events, and figures, establish counter-factual narratives based around conspiracy theories, and—most importantly—display many formal similarities. Like most AAA games, Assassin’s Creed and Black Ops intend to immerse the player in the virtual reality and, for this purpose, they naturalize their interfaces as integral elements of reality. However, in the process of naturalizing simulation, objectivity of the past becomes unthinkable.
In my considerations, I situate this problem in two contexts: 1) of a cultural and epistemic shift in perceiving reality which was influenced by dissemination of digital technologies; 2) Vilém Flusser’s prognosis on the effects of computation on human knowledge. According to Flusser’s theory of communication, history—as a specific kind of human knowledge—emerged out of writing that was always linear and referential. Consequently, the crisis of literary culture resulted in the emergence of new aesthetics and forms of representations which—given their digital origin—dictate new ways of understanding reality. As history is now being substituted by timeless post-history, aesthetic conventions of realism are also transformed and replaced by digital equivalents.
Following Flusser’s theory, I assert that we should reflect on the epistemological consequences of presenting the past as simulation, especially if we consider the belief shared by many players that games like Assassin’s Creed can be great tools for learning history. I find such statements problematic, if we consider that the historical discourse, grounded on fact, is completely incompatible with the aesthetics of sim-realism which evokes no illusion of objective reality.
Counterfactuality as a Polyphonic Assemblage. Entangled Human and Nonhuman Stories of Early Modern Sciences in Neal Stephenson’s The Baroque Cycle
Authors: Chaberski Mateusz 
Published: December 2018

Summary
In recent science-fiction literature, we can witness a proliferation of new counterfactual narratives which take the 17th century as their point of departure. Unlike steampunk narratives, however, their aim is not to criticise the socio-political effects caused by contemporary technological development. Such authors as Neal Stephenson or Ian Tregillis, among others, are interested in revisiting the model of development in Western societies, routing around the logic of progress. Moreover, they demonstrate that modernity is but an effect of manifold contingent and indeterminate encounters of humans and nonhumans and their distinct temporalities. Even the slightest modification of their ways of being could have changed Western societies and cultures. Thus, they necessitate a rather non-anthropocentric model of counterfactuality which is not tantamount to the traditional alternative histories which depart from official narratives of the past.
By drawing on contemporary multispecies ethnography, I put forward a new understanding of counter-factuality which aims to reveal multiple entangled human and nonhuman stories already embedded in the seemingly unified history of the West. In this context, the concept of “polyphonic assemblage” (Lowenhaupt-Tsing) is employed to conceptualize the contingent and open-ended encounters of human and nonhuman historical actors which cut across different discourses and practices. I analyse Stephenson’s The Baroque Cycle to show the entangled stories of humans and nonhumans in 17th century sciences, hardly present in traditional historiographies. In particular, Stephenson’s depiction of quicksilver and coffeehouse as nonhuman historical actors is scrutinized to show their vital role in the production of knowledge at the dawn of modernity.
Hydroflux Synthesis, Chemical and Thermal Instability, Crystal and Magnetic Structures of the Oxoferrate(III, IV) K2−xFe4O7

Published: December 2018

The reaction of Fe(NO3)3∙9 H2O with KOH under hydrofluxconditions at about 200 °C produces red crystals of K2−xFe4O7 in a quantitative yield. In the crystal structure, edge-sharing [FeO6]octahedra form [ ∞Fe2O6] honeycomb nets. Pillars consisting of pairs of vertex-sharing [FeO4] tetrahedra link the honeycomb layers and form columnar halls in which the potassium ions are located. The trigonal (P3 1m) and the hexagonal (P63/mcm) polytypes of K2−xFe4O7 show oriented intergrowth. The sub-stoichiometric potassium content (x ≈ 0.3) is compensated by iron(IV), as supported by 57Fe Mößbauer spectroscopy, besides the dominating iron(III). K2−xFe4O7 is an antiferromagnet above 2 K and its magnetic structure was determined by neutron powder diffraction. Under ambient conditions, K2CO3·H2O forms gradually on the surface of K2−xFe4O7 crystals. Upon annealing at air at about 500 °C, the potassium atoms in the columnar halls start to order into a superstructure. The thermal decomposition of K2−xFe4O7 proceeds via a topotactic transformation into K1+x’Fe11O17, adopting the rhombohedral β’’ or the hexagonal β-aluminate-type structure, before γ-Fe2O3 is formed above 950 °C, which then converts into thermodynamically stable α-Fe2O3.

Authors: Anggraini Siska 
Published: December 2018

Obesitas dan Status gizi berlebih mempengaruhi pertumbuhan janin. Obesitas mengalami peningkatan lemak sehingga meningkatkan beberapa adipokin salah satunya resistin. Resistin berperan dalam menjaga homeostasis glukosa dengan menginduksi resistensi insulin, antiadipogensis dan inflamasi. Resistin ditemukan dalam tali pusar bayi sehingga resistin dapat berperan dalam pertumbuhan janin. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi perbedaan kadar resistin maternal antara ibu obesitas dan berat badan normal serta hubungannya dengan antropometri bayi baru lahir. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan desain cross-sectional. Subjek terdiri dari 20 orang ibu obesitas dan 20 orang berat badan normal. Pengambuilan sampel dilakukan dengan consecutive sampling di RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang, RSUD dr. Rasidin Padang dan RS TK III Reksodiwiryo Padang, Indonesia. Sampel darah diukur dengan spektrofotometri. Statistik dianalisis dengan Uji Mann Whitney U-Test dan Uji Spearman. Median resistin maternal pada subjek obesitas dan berat badan normal adalah 1406(1024,31-1947,78)ng/L dan 1308,46 (740,16-1521,56) ng/L (p<0,05). Median resistin fetal pada subjek obesitas dan berat badan normal adalah 1086,47 (820,09-2205.29)ng/L dan 1077,59 (704,65-1654,76) ng/L (p>0,05).

Terdapat hubungan kadar resistin fetal dengan berat badan bayi baru lahir dan panjang badan bayi ( r=-0,649, dan r=-0,455) (p<0,05). Kadar resistin mempengaruhi pertambahan berat badan janin pada kelompok obesitas dan berat badan normal.Kata Kunci: Resistin Maternal, Resistin Fetal, Antropometri Bayi Baru Lahir, Obesitas.
Gabrielle Roy, prototype de l’écrivaine canadienne ?
Authors: Morency Jean 
Published: December 2018

Ce texte vise à jeter les bases d’une réflexion sur la traduction des oeuvres de Gabrielle Roy dans le contexte canadien. On sait que Gabrielle Roy a toujours accordé beaucoup d’importance à la traduction de ses oeuvres en anglais, qui lui donnait accès à un vaste bassin de lecteurs. Traduits en simultané ou presque, les romans de Gabrielle Roy en sont venus à incarner une certaine idée du Canada qu’il est possible de dénoter dans trois domaines en particulier : l’expression d’un certain réalisme social débouchant sur une vision ethnique de la société francophone;
l’importance du paysage et de l’espace canadiens; l’accent mis sur la petite communauté humaine et sur le multiculturalisme. La traduction des romans de Gabrielle Roy aura ainsi contribué au « nation-building » canadien. Une seule exception à cette règle : La détresse et l’enchantement,
une autobiographie publiée à titre posthume, qui se situe en marge de cet horizon de la traduction
caractérisant l’oeuvre de Gabrielle Roy.
CHOCQUIBTOWN: Young Voices Shattering Afro-Colombian Invisibility
Authors: Gaviria-Buck Sandra M. 
Published: December 2018

In the past two years an Afrocolombian hip-hop band from the Pacific region of Colombia has been getting a lot of attention in the media, especially after winning a Latin Grammy Award in 2010 and being nominated to several categories of the Grammy Music Awards in 2011 and 2012. In their lyrics, they claim to represent the black population of the Pacific coast, people of African descent who have traditionally lived in marginalized conditions of poverty and exploitation of different sorts. By borrowing some insights from African American criticism, the afrocentricity in Choquibtown's songs is explored. Additionally, through a postcolonialist approach, this band's musical production is analyzed as a voice of widespread racism and as means of resistance to political and cultural oppression.
Nuorten lokerointi ja kehittyminen Salla Simukan nuortendystopiaromaaneissa Jäljellä ja Toisaalla

Coming of age and classification of adolescents In Salla Simukka’s YA-dystopias Jäljellä and Toisaalla
Finnish YA-author Salla Simukka takes a current societal problem into the center of her novel pair Jäljellä (Left Over, not translated, 2012) and Toisaalla (Elsewhere, not translated, 2012). These novels criticize the current system, where even young children are forced to choose specialized studies and make decisions that affect their whole future. This is a consequence on a modern western information society, where branches of knowledge are differentiated. These theme Simukka’s novels handle with the methods off dystopic fiction.
Both novels depict a dystopic world, where adolescents are classified into groups based on their personality and their talents. Both novels depict a world very much like our own, but the time of the story lies in the near future. As usual to the dystopic fiction the author pics up some existing progressions from the reality and then extends those conditions into a future, and this way the flaws of the current conditions are revealed. In my article I claim, that Simukka’s novels take under critical consideration the whole Western concept of coming of age. Especially crucial is the idea of growth as being something controllable. In western cultures the growing up of an individual is standardized and regulated by institutions and fields of science such us daycare, school, medicine, and psychology. In Simukka’s novels this idea is exaggerated but still recognizable.
The motif of classifications or sorting the adolescents has lately been popular in YA-fantasy and YA-dystopia. Simukka’s novels borrow from two bestsellers: J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter -series (1997–2007), and Veronica Roth’s Divergent-series (2011–2013). These examples seem to prove, that the idea of adolescents of being sorted or being classified is important in contemporary genre fiction targeting young audiences. Sorting or classification as motifs seem to be connected to the contemporary understanding of youth and growing up.
In this article I consider the classification motif in Simukka’s novel. I consentrate especially to the connections between the motif and the wider theme of growing up. I examine the motif beside the Western ideas of growth and coming of age. Besides that I also study the different genre frames Simukka’s novels use to discuss of growing up in contemporary society. These genre traditions include dystopic fiction, YA-literature and fairytale. In this article I propose, that the classification motif allegorizes the demands set to adolescents in contemporary society but also appeals to the young readers as a fantasy of belonging to the group.
Adverbial Derivation in Toba Batak Language: A Generative Transformational Study
Authors: Ambarita Esron 
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this article is to elaborate adverbial derivation in Toba Batak language from the view point of generative transformational study. The data were analysed by applying modified theory with reference to Halle’s model as the main theory. Therefore, there are six components of sets of generative transformational rules as modified theory in this study, i.e. List of Morphemes, Word Formation Rules, Filter, Orthographic Rules, Phonological Rules, and Dictionary. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected by using observation and interview. The collected data are voice-recordings and writings. The research findings show that adverbial derivation in Toba Batak language are done by attaching (1) prefix [par-], (2) prefix [maN-], (3) prefix [mar-], (4) affix combination [-umal-], and (5) affix combination [-umar-] to stems. The results of the affixation processes generate complex words which have new grammatical and lexical meanings. Phoneme assimilation takes place in morphological processes particularly with prefix [ma-]. The inflectional processes of attaching those affixes bring about phonological idiosyncrasy; therefore, such words must be processed in filter to generate acceptable words in Toba Batak language.
The Poor in Thomas Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard: Critical Discourse Analysis Approach
Authors: Hidayati Hidayati , Zuindra Zuindra , Mayasari Mayasari , Geubrina Misla , Arifuddin Arifuddin 
Published: December 2018

The research deals with the problems of poverty with the aim of revealing the situation of rural people experiencing various shortages throughout their daily needs. This poem is also a personal picture of the poet seeing by firsthand the situation of the marginalized people. Through critical discourse analysis by means of Van Dijk model consisting of three dimensions, namely text, social cognition and social context, the picture of the poor in the poem can be seen clearly. The data used are lines of Stanza No. 13 as a representation of the whole poem. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of the research indicate that knowledge or education is not limited to one group, but for all; but in practice the poor do not always get the opportunity to obtain proper education. The voice of the poor is not heard; therefore, they are bound by circumstances and cannot do much. In connection with critical discourse analysis, at the level of text, the general theme is the death and fate of the people on the periphery of the society. In the data related, the theme is the absence of opportunities for the poor to get education; the storyline starts from the causes and consequences of poverty and in the microstructure level there are syntactic and lexicon elements. The level of social cognition describes the close relationship between the poet and the elegy and of social conditions pictures the historical background of the text production.
Estrategias de aprendizaje y competencias del grado de maestro/a en Educación Primaria
Authors: Amorós Teijeiro María Eugenia , Ruíz Requies Inés 
Published: December 2018

Resumen:El presente artículo presenta una investigación que busca explorar las estrategias de aprendizaje utilizadas por un grupo de estudiantes del Grado de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria y su posible relación con las competencias generales del Grado. Es un estudio de corte cualitativo con técnicas mixtas de recolección de datos en el que participaron estudiantes de primer año que cursaban la asignatura Currículo y Sistema Educativo correspondiente al Grado de Educación Primaria. Para la recogida de datos se utilizaron dos cuestionarios para conocer de manera general el uso de estrategias y desarrollo de competencias en el grupo. Además, se realizaron 7 entrevistas a participantes voluntarios para indagar más sobre el uso de estrategias de aprendizaje y el desarrollo de las competencias generales del Grado en estos estudiantes. Los resultados muestran un alto nivel de motivación por la carrera y un uso de estrategias de aprendizaje que gira en torno al estudio para los exámenes, ante los cuales presentan altos niveles de ansiedad. Valoran poco los conocimientos teóricos y esperan aprender en las prácticas lo que necesitan para ser buenos maestros. En cuanto a las competencias, parecen tener un buen desarrollo de competencias éticas y un desarrollo pobre de competencias para reunir datos y emitir juicios. Tras los resultados obtenidos se elaboró una propuesta para que los estudiantes mejoren el uso de las estrategias de aprendizaje de cara al desarrollo de las Competencias Generales del Grado en los siguientes años de carrera. Abstract:This article shows a recent study made to explore the use of learning strategies and the development of professional skills in a group of students of the Bachelor of Education (Primary). We used a qualitative method with mixed methods techniques for collecting the data which involved a group of freshman students who were taking the "curriculum and educational system" class at that time. For data collection, we used two questionnaires to get a general idea of the use of their learning strategies and the development of their professional skills. Furthermore, 7 students were interviewed to gather more information about their particular use of learning strategies and the development of their professional skills. Results show a high level of motivation among students and a use of learning strategies mainly to pass exams, in which they seem to show high anxiety levels. Students seem to undervalue theoretical concepts and expect to learn everything needed to be a good teacher in practical assignments. Regarding their professional skills, results show a good development of ethical values and poor knowledge of abilities to gather information and make judgments. Using obtained results, we elaborated a proposal for students, to improve the use of learning strategies and focus on developing all the general professional skills needed in the next years of study.
