Thorns and Flowers of Teaching English Literary Criticism to the Speakers of Persian as a Globally Less Widely Taught Language: a Case of MA Students of Translation Studies in Iran
Authors: Suzani Samad Mirza 
Published: June 2018

Summary
The main aim of this study is to probe into major impediments in teaching literary criticism to the Persian speaking Iranian students of translation studies and to argue in which ways teaching literary criticism may be a successful undertaking in the educational establishments in globally less widely taught and learnt languages like Persian. For this purpose, following a mandatory literary criticism course, 35 male and 65 female graduate students from Fars and Isfahan universities were selected through convenience sampling and encouraged to fill in “record-of-work” forms, including reflection on learning strategies as well as their personal experiences and impressions. Next, to triangulate the results, fifty participants were selected to partake in semi-structured interviews, and findings were sorted and content analyzed based on Oxford’s (1990) dimensions of Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and the tenets of grounded theory. It was revealed that there exist major defects with the current socio-pragmatic and pedagogical status of teaching literary criticism to the Iranian MA students and educational gaps are typically ascribed to the learners’ cultural conditions in Iranian EFL context. Results can hopefully provide EFL teachers with ways to recover defects in teaching literary criticism in less widely taught and learnt languages and provide learners with immediate feedback to meet cultural requirements in doing literary criticism.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3, or BFO) is a kind of multiferroic material with a single phase. One-dimensional nanomaterials have unique electrical, magnetic, and optical properties due to anisotropy and unique size effects. Bismuth ferrite nanowires were prepared by hydrothermal method processing at different mineralizer concentrations. X-ray diffraction results show that the increase of mineralizer concentration can inhibit the reaction to generate impurities. It can be observed from scanning electron microscopy that along with increasing of mineralizer concentration, the length of the nanowires increase. Transmission electron microscopy and UV–visible spectrophotometry results reveal that the appropriate increase of nanowires length is beneficial to enhancing the absorption of light.

MAIN TRENDS AND DIRECTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC GOVERNANCE BY SOCIAL-ECONOMIC PROCESSES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Nepomnyashchyy Oleksandr Mykhailovych , Diegtiar Oleg Andriyovych 
Published: June 2018

The article analyzes the peculiarities and tendencies of the development of the system of public administration of socio-economic processes in Ukraine. The authors paid special attention to the formation of measures aimed at implementing the principles of transparency and democracy in the activities of public administration bodies. The processes of globalization and the formation of an information society contributed to the development of these activities, which helped to improve the efficiency of public administration, and, consequently, the quality of life of society as a whole.
Under public administration, the article refers to a set of functions of publiclaw formations implemented on the basis of the principles of transparency, legality, democracy, strategic partnership of power, population and business, ensuring sustainable feedback and involving in the process of managing the population in the form of institutionalized relations at the state, regional, municipal levels, in order to ensure sustainable socio-economic development of the territories and improve the quality of life. Consequently, for each public administration authority of a particular level (state, local), in accordance with the current legislation, the implementation of certain management functions is fixed.
It is noted that the complexity and cumbersomeness of legislation in many respects complicates the control over its compliance and requires, for these purposes, a significant involvement of all kinds of resources by public administration bodies, which, in their constraints, is particularly critical. Implementation of the strategic partnership of government, population and business in the context of sustainable development, in our opinion, means the formation of new value systems for all participants in socio-economic relations in the context of the Global Reporting Initiative and combining their efforts in balancing economic, environmental and social processes based on socio-economic partnership of the population, government and business.
Agreement Between Internal Astigmatism and Posterior Corneal Astigmatism in Pseudophakic Eyes
Authors: Feizi Sepehr , Delfazayebaher Siamak , Javadi Mohammad Ali 
Published: June 2018

PURPOSE:
To directly measure internal astigmatism and evaluate its agreement with posterior corneal astigmatism in pseudophakic eyes.

METHODS:
This prospective study enrolled 32 eyes of 32 patients (18 women, 56.3%) who underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of a non-toric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). Two months postoperatively, posterior corneal astigmatism was measured using a Pentacam Scheimpflug analyzer (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Manifest refractive astigmatism was measured after fitting a spherical hard contact lens. This refractive astigmatism that was vertexed to the corneal plane was considered internal astigmatism. The magnitudes of internal and posterior corneal astigmatism were compared. The relationship and agreement between these two astigmatisms were investigated using the Spearman correlation coefficient and Bland–Altman plots, respectively.

RESULTS:

The mean patient age was 56.3 ± 9.6 years. IOL decentration or tilt and posterior segment abnormalities were not encountered in any cases postoperatively. The mean refractive astigmatism measured before fitting the hard contact lens was −0.81 ± 0.56 diopters (D). Internal astigmatism (−0.17 ± 0.21 D) was significantly different from posterior corneal astigmatism (−0.30 ± 0.15 D;
P
= .046). Regression analysis demonstrated a weak association between internal astigmatism and posterior corneal astigmatism (
r
2
= 0.22,
P
= .013). Bland–Altman plots produced 95% limits of agreement for these two astigmatisms from −0.49 to 0.75 D.

CONCLUSIONS:
A significant but weak correlation was found between the magnitudes of internal astigmatism and posterior corneal astigmatism in the pseudophakic eyes. This result indicates that Pentacam measurement of the posterior cornea did not compare well with a “gold standard” of refraction-derived values.

Opposing Effects of IL-1Ra and IL-36Ra on Innate Immune Response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection in C57BL/6 Mouse Corneas
Authors: Gao Nan , Me Rao , Dai Chenyang , Seyoum Berhane , Yu Fu-shin X. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis is characterized by severe corneal ulceration and may lead to blindness if not treated properly in a timely manner. Although the roles of the IL-1 subfamily of cytokines are well established, as a newly discovered subfamily, IL-36 cytokine regulation, immunological relevance, and relation with IL-1 cytokines in host defense remain largely unknown. In this study, we showed that P. aeruginosa infection induces the expression of IL-36α and IL-36γ, as well as IL-1β and secreted IL-1Ra (sIL-1Ra), but not IL-36Ra. Downregulation of IL-1Ra increases, whereas downregulation of IL-36Ra decreases the severity of P. aeruginosa keratitis. IL-1R and IL-36Ra downregulation have opposing effects on the expression of IL-1β, sIL-1Ra, IL-36γ, S100A8, and CXCL10 and on the infiltration of innate immune cells. Administration of recombinant IL-1Ra improved, whereas IL-36Ra worsened the outcome of P. aeruginosa keratitis. Local application of IL-36γ stimulated the expression of innate defense molecules S100A9, mouse β-defensin 3, but suppressed IL-1β expression in B6 mouse corneas. IL-36γ diminished the severity of P. aeruginosa keratitis, and its protective effects were abolished in the presence of S100A9 neutralizing Ab and partially affected by CXCL10 and CXCR3 neutralizations. Thus, our data reveal that IL-1Ra and IL-36Ra have opposing effects on the outcome of P. aeruginosa keratitis and suggest that IL-36 agonists may be used as an alternative therapeutic to IL-1β–neutralizing reagents in controlling microbial keratitis and other mucosal infections.

The role of online platforms in self-organization during disasters
During a disaster or crisis, the response capacity of the government is put under extreme pressure. At the same time, citizens are often resilient in times of crisis and are increasingly capable of organizing themselves. Social media and online platforms have increased the possibilities for self-organization through improved connectivity. In practice, we see that governments struggle to deal with this form of self-organization, while it also offers a unique opportunity to increase the response capacity. The smart use of citizens’ initiatives offers opportunities and can increase the effectiveness of the government’s action. This article focuses on the following question: what role do online platforms play in smartly guiding the self-organization of citizens during crises and disasters? We answer the question on the basis of two examples: the role of online platforms in the aftermath of the earthquakes in Nepal in 2015, and the coordination of the reception of refugees during the crisis in the Netherlands in the winter of 2015-2016.

Crisis? What crisis?! Narrative sense-making of the economic crisis by municipalities and their societal partners
In 2008 a global economic crisis broke out. Now we can look back at the crisis as a clearly ordered sequence of events. But at the time these events were experienced as unexpected, unordered and unpredictable: a shock situation. How did municipalities respond to this shock situation, to this economic crisis? This article describes how two Dutch municipalities, together with their societal partners, made sense of the economic crisis. This concerns the question of how they interpreted the crisis themselves, but also which actions ensued. From a constructivist position, the article considers how the two municipalities together with their partners made sense of the situation and this enabled them to implement measures that could mitigate the consequences of the crisis for their communities. Based on epistemological and methodological assumptions discourse analysis, the author investigates the role of language in this process of sense-making. This approach offers municipalities insight in the role of stories in policymaking and in determining new practical solutions. The article closes with some guidance on how this perspective can help to people and institutions to cope with comparable situations, specifically in the cooperation between municipalities and other organizations.
Spraakmakende lokale bestuurders en grensverleggend lokaal bestuur

Pioneering local administrators and groundbreaking local administration
In this essay, the author is looking for pioneering local administrators in the Netherlands who dared to push existing boundaries. However, the story starts in Great Britain where progressive liberals under the label ‘municipal socialism’ proceeded to provide public utilities through municipal governments rather than private enterprises. Their example was adopted by the so-called ‘radicals’ in Amsterdam led by Wim Treub. ‘Aldermen socialism’ with Floor Wibaut in Amsterdam as its most important representative, took it a step further. Their aim for a welfare municipality anticipated the later welfare state. After the Second World War we also saw some strong local administrators who in their own way strived for changes in their municipalities. After 1970 the phenomenon of ‘urban renewal’ led to a new flourishing of ‘aldermen socialism’ in the Netherlands with Jan Schaefer (in Amsterdam) as its most appealing figurehead. Since 2000, we have been in a new era of dualism, citizen participation and devolution that has produced new 'boundary pushers', which generated interest abroad (see the book on mayors by Benjamin Barber). At the end of the article, the author takes a look into the future. Current global problems also confront municipalities and they require local administrators with a good mix of political leadership, new civic leadership, inspiring commissioning and good stewardship. This essay is written for the ‘Across boundaries’ annual conference of the VNG (the Association of Netherlands Municipalities founded in 1912) held in Maastricht (in the far south of the Netherlands) in 2018.

Het ICAP-arrest: With a little help from my friends… Over kartelfacilitatie en het vermoeden van onschuld in settlement procedures
Het ICAP-arrest is om meerdere redenen interessant. In de eerste plaats verduidelijkt het de voorwaarden waaraan moet zijn voldaan om een onderneming als ‘facilitator’ van een inbreuk op artikel 101 lid 1 VWEU aan te merken en geeft het inzicht in de manier waarop en de intensiteit waarmee het Gerecht toetst of aan deze kwalificatie is voldaan. In de tweede plaats gaat het in op de vraag wanneer een zogenoemde hybride schikkingsprocedure ten aanzien van niet-schikkende partijen inbreuk kan maken op het vermoeden van onschuld en welke gevolgen verbonden moeten worden aan een dergelijke inbreuk. Tot slot bevat het interessante overwegingen over het concept van de voortgezette inbreuk en de motiveringsvereisten voor boetes.Gerecht 10 november 2017, zaak T-180/15, ICAP/Commissie, ECLI:EU:T:2017:795 (hogere voorziening verzocht: C-39/18 P), HvJ 22 oktober 2015, zaak C-194/14 P, AC-Treuhand, ECLI:EU:C:2015:717.

A tríade educação, escola e religião na constituição de sujeitos jovens e infantis
Authors: Prates Daniela Medeiros de Azevedo 
Published: June 2018

O estudo assume como escopo de análise a problematização sobre o papel da tríade educação, escola e religião na articulação do projeto moderno de constituição de novos sujeitos. Tal empreendimento ancora-se aos referenciais dos Estudos Culturais em Educação e suas possíveis aproximações às discussões foucaultianas. A partir do levantamento bibliográfico e análise sobre discursos, infere que a crescente racionalização dos modos de governar tomando como instrumento a educação produz condições para separação das noções de infância e juventude, sobretudo a partir da paulatina separação de classes presentes na escola moderna. A busca de constituição dos sujeitos também passava pelo fórum religioso, o qual lançou mão de uma série de estratégias para este fim, e que excetuando especificidades, também estava articulado às concepções que se formavam junto ao Estado Moderno.
