Media ecology and Bios Theoretikos: Philosophy as extended cognition
Authors: Robbert Adam 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this article, I take a media ecology perspective on philosophy. This approach supports the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk’s claim that first philosophy is not metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics or epistemology but rather practice (askēsis). Sloterdijk’s practice-centred view of philosophy is shared by Pierre Hadot and Michael McGhee, both of whom give askēsis a central role in philosophy. I draw on the work of these philosophers to show that philosophy is best conceived as an act of extended cognition performed amidst different media ecologies. To make this point, I start not with humans and our practices, but with spiders and theirs. When philosophy is seen as an instance of extended cognition, I argue, one can draw parallels between our practices and those of non-human species, who like us build artefacts to deepen their perception and understanding of their environments. To this end, I explore the settings that enable philosophical training. Philosophy on this view is facilitated by an ecology of affordance spaces – academies, libraries, monasteries and more – whose design helps the philosopher perform certain manoeuvres in thought, manoeuvres that make apparent the conditions required for the bios theoretikos (the life of contemplation).
Image ecologies: Infrastructures of visual art education in Sweden and Estonia
Authors: Forsler Ingrid 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This essay is a visual interpretation of the media ecologies of visual art education in Sweden and Estonia. As the title of the article suggests, an ecology of visual art education means infrastructures for accessing, producing, showing and sharing images. The study is empirically informed by social network analysis conducted in online communities and by interviews with teachers who are active in those communities. Graphs of activity and connectedness in online communities are included in a media ecology model, based on the teacher interviews. The model visually relates online collaboration with material technologies, such as classroom computers or cameras, and different forms of governance, such as curricula. The essay attempts to contribute to the existing literature regarding the relation between technologies and educational practice by combining digital methods with media ecology and infrastructure theory, and methodologically by using visual methods for interpretation.
Responding to paternalistic protection: Gender-smart safety for women working in remote locations in Papua New Guinea
Authors: Laplonge Dean 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The practice of a ‘gender-smart safety’ is an important part of recognizing and responding to specific risks faced by women in workplaces. This is a relatively new concept within the discourse of workplace safety, and one that is challenging traditional views about what safety is, how it should be managed and who should be included in this management. This article explores the findings of a research project that looks at the safety of women who have experience of working in remote locations in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data, it highlights some of the gaps that exist in employers’ responses to the risks faced by female employees. It identifies what businesses are doing to support women’s safety and how the careers of women have been affected by workplace safety risks (perceived and real). It discusses how a desire to protect women from risks and the call for ‘real men’ to support women are both approaches that fail to challenge gender norms, especially the lower social status of women. This research has helped inform new programming for the Business Coalition for Women in PNG. It has resulted in the development of a ‘Gender Smart Safety’ training programme that is now being offered to businesses to promote greater attention to the safety needs of their female employees.
Connecting with innerlandscapes: Taonga pūoro, musical improvisation and exploring acoustic Aotearoa/New Zealand
Authors: Lowe Sebastian J. , Fraser Alistair 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
When ngā taonga pūoro (traditional instruments of the Māori) practitioners improvise music in the natural environment, they can be seen as explorers navigating and traversing the contours of the acoustic landscapes. As these practitioners come into dialogue with the non-humans of the natural environment, they are able to transform these relational experiences into sound phenomena, which in turn (re)create places that are meaningful to the practitioner and their audiences – human and otherwise. Taking a point of departure in a discussion between anthropologist Sebastian J. Lowe and renowned taonga pūoro practitioner Alistair Fraser, this article looks at how Fraser enters into Te Ao Māori (the Māori world or dimension) and comes into dialogue with the entities of Te Ao Tūroa (the natural world). In 2013, Fraser released an album called Rakiura (Stewart Island), which he made as part of a Creative New Zealand/ Department of Conservation (DOC) Wild Creations Artist Residency. Throughout his six-week field research together with local iwi Ngai Tahu in 2011, Alistair researched, made and performed taonga pūoro from the area of southern Aotearoa/New Zealand. This article, which takes Fraser’s album as an ethnographic case study, aims to challenge the way we explore, expand and extend our appreciation of acoustic Aotearoa, thereby potentially opening up new spaces for understanding, interacting and ultimately respecting our environments.

Educação Infantil: Um estudo sobre a influência da oferta de vagas na qualidade do ensino
Authors: Silva Rodrigues Neila Carla , Santana dos Santos Josaias , Nonato Lima Filho Raimundo 
Published: May 2018

Este estudo averiguou a correlação entre a oferta de vagas e a qualidade do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica – IDEB. Existem, atualmente, no Brasil, políticas públicas que se destinam a expandir a oferta de vagas nas creches e pré-escolas, no entanto, esse fator não necessariamente interferirá na qualidade da educação, por essa razão, é importante a realização de estudos nesse sentido. Esta pesquisa foi caracterizada como documental, descritiva e quantitativa. Foi realizada a análise da correlação entre o IDEB e do número de matrículas na educação básica, referentes ao período de2007 a2015, das 100 maiores cidades brasileiras. Com os resultados encontrados, através da aplicação da Correlação de Pearson, destaca-se se que não há correlação entre a oferta de vagas, evidenciada a partir da quantidade de alunos matriculados na creche e pré-escola, e a qualidade do IDEB. Desse modo, demonstrou-se que o aumento ou redução na oferta de vagas não tem relação direta com a qualidade do ensino e aprendizagem, considerando-o isoladamente.

Mielolipoma Extra-adrenal : Relato de Caso
Authors: Castro e Silva Igor Marcelo , Do Rosário Gonçalves Eloisa Da Graça 
Published: May 2018

O mielolipoma extradrenal é uma entidade nosológica rara, benigna, geralmente assintomática, podendo ocorrer em pulmão, fígado, retroperitôneo, mediastino, baço. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente com 66 anos com queixa de aumento do volume abdominal, perda de peso ponderal e dor intermitente. A tomografia do abdome evidenciou volumosa imagem expansiva pélvica, presacral, medindo 8,5 x6,5x6,1 cm, favorecendo a possibilidade de lesão de natureza lipossarcomatosa. A paciente foi submetida a laparotomia exploradora, sem biópsia prévia, com a remoção da massa. O exame anátomo-patológico foi inconclusivo, necessitando da imunohistoquímica para a confirmação de mielolipoma. Mesmo sendo um tumor benigno, o mielolipoma deve ter um diagnóstico histológico prévio, pois a terapêutica cirúrgica do mesmo ocorrerá quando da presença de sintomas expressivos.Palavras chaves: Mielolipoma, Neoplasias, Espaço retroperitoneal

Upright posture and the meaning of meronymy: A synthesis of metaphoric and analytic accounts
Authors: Pelkey Jamin 
Published: May 2018

AbstractCross-linguistic strategies for mapping lexical and spatial relations from body partonym systems to external object meronymies (as in English ‘table leg,’ ‘mountain face’) have attracted substantial research and debate over the past three decades. Due to the systematic mappings, lexical productivity, and geometric complexities of body-based meronymies found in many Mesoamerican languages, the region has become focal for these discussions, prominently including contrastive accounts of the phenomenon in Zapotec and Tzeltal, leading researchers to question whether such systems should be explained as global metaphorical mappings from bodily source to target holonym or as vector mappings of shape and axis generated “algorithmically.” I propose a synthesis of these accounts in this paper by drawing on the species-specific cognitive affordances of human upright posture grounded in the reorganization of the anatomical planes, with a special emphasis on antisymmetrical relations that emerge between arm-leg and face-groin antinomies cross-culturally. Whereas Levinson argues that the internal geometry of objects “stripped of their bodily associations” (1994: 821) is sufficient to account for Tzeltal meronymy, making metaphorical explanations entirely unnecessary, I propose a more powerful, elegant explanation of Tzeltal meronymic mapping that affirms both the geometric-analytic and the global-metaphorical nature of Tzeltal meaning construal. I do this by demonstrating that the “algorithm” in question arises from the phenomenology of movement and correlative body memories — an experiential ground that generates a culturally selected pair of inverse contrastive paradigm sets with marked and unmarked membership emerging antithetically relative to the transverse anatomical plane. These relations are then selected diagrammatically for the classification of object orientations according to systematic geometric iconicities. Results not only serve to clarify the case in question but also point to the relatively untapped potential that upright posture holds for theorizing the emergence of human cognition, highlighting in the process the nature, origins and theoretical validity of markedness and double scope conceptual integration.
Contrasting attention to mutual knowledge in English and Mopan Mayan conversation: Schooling, orality, and cultural cosmology
Authors: Danziger Eve 
Published: May 2018

AbstractClassroom training for attention to utterance recipients’ likely states of knowledge is useful in order to compensate for the situations of reduced co-presence that characterize literate communication at a distance. But many aspects of the Mopan (Mayan) philosophy of language resonate instead with non-schooled practices of Mopan socialization that support oral and not literate transmission of knowledge. In Mopan, everyday speech and action are evaluated with reference to a more-than-human moral order in which what counts is fidelity to ancestral prescriptions rather than to one’s own or others’ momentary mental states. Such cultural differences in beliefs about the (non-)importance of mental states are known to enter into institutionalized moralities such as those governing legal decisions or religious obligations. At the same time, many unconscious and embodied aspects of meaning-making in interaction are clearly conducted without apparent input from differing cultural beliefs. The present study shows how cultural attitudes about meaning-making play out at a level intermediate between these two apparently contradictory extremes. Mopan farmers and US English university students engaged with an interactional matching task in which visual common ground is occluded and speakers must describe a photograph in such a way that the listener succeeds in picking out that very photograph from among a set of similar ones. Schooled US English participants rarely describe any attributes of the photos other than their minimum distinguishing features, and they almost always mention those features. In contrast, Mopan participants often construe the interactional task as one that requires accurate and complete description of single items one at a time, rather than requiring identification of key attributes that will uniquely identify the target referent in its current context to a particular listener. Significant differences in strategic approaches to real-time construction of conversational reference is thus shown to correspond to contrasting cultural belief systems about the making of meaning, themselves related to literate versus oral modes of knowledge transmission.
Does the Environment Matter? Mapping Academic Knowledge on Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in GEM
Authors: Seguí-Mas Elies , Jiménez-Arribas Irene , Tormo-Carbó Guillermina 
Published: May 2018

AbstractEnvironmental factors determine several features of society, but are becoming increasingly relevant in the entrepreneurship process. In recent years, entrepreneurship has been expanding worldwide and implies an exponential role of the environment. Accordingly, research into this phenomenon has also increased: contributions have rocketed, including increasingly complex and sophisticated analytical frameworks and empirical studies.This research aims to offer, through a bibliometric analysis, a comprehensive picture of research into entrepreneurial ecosystems using the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database published in Web of Science journals during the period 2004–2016. A bibliometric analysis allows us to identify both the leading authors and journals that contribute to the progress made by the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems. We expect our analysis to be useful to both junior and experienced scholars. The results show that the entrepreneurial ecosystems literature has a relatively high impact, as well as a high demand of related journals (an indicator about the quality of studies).
Corruption in Public Procurement in Lesotho
Authors: Toeba Thato 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Public procurement refers to the acquisition of goods and services by government in order to facilitate the efficient operationalisation of the state machinery. Public procurement however extends beyond transactions to acquire commodities to “the relationship between the state and its suppliers, and between the state and the commodity transaction”. Global political hierarchies, with affluent democracies at the apex, play a dominant role in how states like Lesotho, with little political agency internationally buy and sell commodities and what terms and conditions attach to such transactions. This paper argues that the architecture of public procurement policy in Africa generally and Lesotho specifically is anchored in neoliberalism which emerged as the dominant economic theory globally after the end of World War II. Corruption which is critical in public procurement because of the huge quantities of commodities often being transacted and the volume of money involved in the procurement process. This creates substantial opportunities for public officials with the propensity to be corrupt because of the high profitability attached to these large procurements. According to the director of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO), public procurement in Lesotho is the most vulnerable area to corruption and public procurement cases form 99% of corruption cases handled by the DCEO in 2016. The paper argues that he most combative and dictatorial mechanism of the neoliberal approach to anti-corruption and public procurement policies in Lesotho is the lack of consideration for local contexts, particularly when such policies are adopted litereratim. The slow erosion of corruption, particularly in public procurement in Lesotho is testimony to the futility of neoliberal policies in the country. Officials often adopt neoliberal policies disingenuously and masquerade them as actual reform. Alternatively, policies are adopted to comply with foreign aid requisites or to guarantee Lesotho’s place in global trade. At close inspection, the public procurement legal regime reveals weaknesses which are antithetical to the enthusiastic anti-corruption narratives that the Lesotho government performs to appease donors. Political agents in Lesotho often condemn corruption and reiterate a commitment to corruption-free procurement processes, however, overt corruption that permeates all sectors in the country contradicts this narrative. This paper provides an appraisal of the Public Procurement Regulations of Lesotho as anchored in the neoliberal approach. It argues that the socio-political nuances in Lesotho are in fundamental conflict with the neoliberal theory, making legal enforcement of the regulations extremely difficult.
Siewert solutions of transcendental equations, generalized Lambert functions and physical applications
Authors: Barsan Victor 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Several classes of transcendental equations, mainly eigenvalue equations associated to non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems, are analyzed. Siewert’s systematic approach of such equations is discussed from the perspective of the new results recently obtained in the theory of generalized Lambert functions and of algebraic approximations of various special or elementary functions. Combining exact and approximate analytical methods, quite precise analytical outputs are obtained for apparently untractable problems. The results can be applied in quantum and classical mechanics, magnetism, elasticity, solar energy conversion, etc.

Photocatalytic decarboxylations
Authors: Schwarz Johanna 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
During the last years, the field of photocatalytic decarboxylations has emerged rapidly. Carboxylic acids are inexpensive, non-toxic and renewable starting materials for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or platform chemicals. The traceless extrusion of CO2 gives radical intermediates, which react in diverse cross-coupling reactions. Merging photocatalysis with metal catalysis enables even broader substrate scopes or enantioselective reactions. An overview of photocatalytic decarboxylative reactions of different classes of carboxylic acids is given within this chapter.
