Salient differences between Australian oral parliamentary discourse and its official written records
Authors: Kotze Haidee , Korhonen Minna , Smith Adam , van Rooy Bertus 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter addresses the question of editorial practice
for the Australian Hansard with the use of an aligned corpus of transcribed
audio recordings and the corresponding Hansard records, covering the period
1946–2015. A more traditional, qualitative, bottom-up approach is taken by
manually analysing the data to compile a list of differences in the two
types of records. In addition, a deductive, quantitative approach is adopted
by using the multidimensional analysis method of Biber (1988) to identify significant differences in
the frequencies of (clusters of) features between the oral transcripts and
written Hansard records and interpret these. Our primary aim is to provide
insight into methodological questions associated with working with big
linguistic data. Alongside this, we report findings about differences
between the written Hansard and the original speeches: reduction of spoken
language processing features and informality, greater conservatism, and more
density – although these differences decrease over time.
Leaving the EU out of the ingroup
Authors: Räikkönen Jenni 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I examine what types of diachronic
changes the use of first-person plural pronouns signal in the way the EU has
been discussed in the British House of Commons. By using methods of
corpus-assisted discourse studies, I analyse the use of the pronouns in
relation to the EU in parliamentary debates in the time period from 1973 to
2015. I am interested in when and in which contexts the EU is included in
and when excluded from the ingroup in the debates. The chapter contributes
to linguistic studies on Brexit and is part of a larger research project
focusing on diachronic changes in the discursive representation of the EU in
British parliamentary debates and press.
Processing and prescriptivism as constraints on language variation and change
Authors: Labat Sofie , Kotze Haidee , Szmrecsanyi Benedikt 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We investigate the choice between the relative markers
which and that in 8,283 restrictive
relative clauses on subject position, with inanimate antecedents, in a
written corpus consisting of British and Australian Hansard materials over
five sampling years (1901, 1935, 1965, 1995, 2015). Our aim is to determine
how processing-related factors and prescriptivism-related factors influence
processes of language variation and change across two varieties of English.
We analyse how the language-external variables of period and variety
(British, Australian) interact with two groups of language-internal
variables, namely predictors related to language processing and linguistic
predictors associated with prescriptivism. The analysis shows that the
relativiser that has been on the rise over the past
century. The increase is particularly pronounced in the British Hansard, as
which was comparatively frequent in early
twentieth-century British material. As to the relative importance of
predictors, we find that language-external predictors are the most important
in conditioning the variation in relative markers, followed by
processing-related constraints. Prescriptivism-related variables tend to
generally be less important in this type of variation.
Morphosyntactic and pragmatic variation in conditional constructions in
English and Spanish parliamentary discourse
Authors: Lastres-López Cristina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores conditional constructions
introduced by if and si in British English
and European Spanish parliamentary discourse, with data drawn from the
Hansard Corpus of the British parliament and the Diario de Sesiones
del Congreso de los Diputados of the Spanish parliament. I
propose a categorisation of conditionals according to the metafunctions set
out by Halliday and Matthiessen
(2014), in order to encompass prototypical and less prototypical
uses of these constructions. Corpus findings indicate that in addition to
their prototypical use in expressing cause–consequence relations,
conditionals in parliamentary discourse also function, to a lesser extent,
as interpersonal and textual devices, especially in Spanish. Results also
suggest a correlation between pragmatic and morphosyntactic variation in
some of these constructions.
Investigation on the mechanical properties of composite fiber membranes with different concentration of EVOH/Ag/AC
Authors: Xu Chao , Zhang Chuanwei , Liu Dandan , Meng Siyu , Wang Bin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
There are several requirements of properties for filter material: adsorption, antibacterial property, air permeability, mechanical properties, etc. Electrospinning technology is a recognized method with great potential to fabricate nanofiber membrane. In particular, the mechanical properties need to be well understood for applications where the membrane is subjected external loading, e.g. tension forces which could be monotonic or cyclic. In this study, the mechanical properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) nanofiber membranes loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and activated carbon (AC) were investigated in detail. Static load tensile tests were carried out for nine groups of membranes with different mass fraction of EVOH (7.5%, 10%, 12.5%) and concentration ratios of Ag/AC (2:5, 1:1, 5:2). The results showed that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of this membrane would increase with the increase of EVOH mass fraction. When the mass fraction of EVOH is 7.5% and the concentration ratio of Ag/AC is 1:1, the fracture strength of nanofiber membrane was the highest, which was 0.1545 MPa.

Abstract
Intraoperative electrocorticography (iECoG) is used as an adjunct to localize the epileptogenic zone during surgical resection of brain tumors in patients with focal epilepsies. It also enables monitoring of after-discharges and seizures with EEG during functional brain mapping with electrical stimulation. When seizures or after-discharges are present, they complicate accurate interpretation of the mapping strategy to outline the brain’s eloquent function and can affect the surgical procedure. Recurrent seizures during surgery requires urgent treatment and, when occurring during awake craniotomy, often leads to premature termination of brain mapping due to post-ictal confusion or sedation from acute rescue therapy. There are mixed results in studies on efficacy with iECoG in patients with epilepsy and brain tumors influencing survival and functional outcomes following surgery. Commercially available electrode arrays have inherent limitations. These could be improved with customization potentially leading to greater precision in safe and maximal resection of brain tumors. Few studies have assessed customized electrode grid designs as an alternative to commercially available products. Higher density electrode grids with intercontact distances less than 1 cm improve spatial delineation of electrophysiologic sources, including epileptiform activity, electrographic seizures, and afterdischarges on iECoG during functional brain mapping. In response to the shortcomings of current iECoG grid technologies, we designed and developed a novel higher-density hollow circular electrode grid array. The 360-degree iECoG monitoring capability allows continuous EEG recording during surgical intervention through the aperture with and without electrical stimulation mapping. Compared with linear strip electrodes that are commonly used for iECoG during surgery, the circular grid demonstrates significant benefits in brain tumor surgery. This includes quicker recovery of post-operative motor deficits (2.4 days versus 9 days, p = 0.05), more extensive tumor resection (92.0% versus 77.6%, p = 0.003), lesser reduction in Karnofsky Performance scale postoperatively (−2 versus −11.6, p = 0.007), and more sensitivity to recording afterdischarges. In this narrative review, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of commercially available recording devices in the operating room and focus on the usefulness of the higher-density circular grid.
PDMS-metal oxide nanocomposites as transparent encapsulants for flexible electronic devices

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Encapsulation is integral to electronic devices for maintaining long-term functionality and stability. While a variety of materials and solutions are available for conventional silicon-based electronics, not all of them are suitable for flexible optoelectronic devices. Typically, these devices require materials with low processing temperature, while maintaining both the optical and electrical functionality. Simple deposition and low cost are added advantages. In this work, we show that pure polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and its composites with metal oxide nanoparticles such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are suitable encapsulants for flexible electronics. These coatings are electrically and thermally insulating, optically transparent (controllable by the amount of metal oxides), hydrophobic (contact angle

The performance of pure PDMS and PDMS-metal oxides were evaluated using different characterisation techniques. These coatings were also tested on printed silver nanowire patterns and commercial flexible NFC (near field communication) tags. The addition of up to 2 wt.% ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles was found to improve the properties of PDMS, improving the environmental protection (showing a Bode impedance of the order of 10

Extending the Brand to the Stage
Authors: Thierens Sanne , van Wijhe Jeroen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Ever since Disney started exporting its Broadway musicals to Europe, changes have been made to adapt them to the perceived requirements of the local market. Some of these changes have arguably made these productions more successful in continental Europe than they have been on Broadway, with Tarzan as the biggest success story. This chapter will analyse the way in which Disney Theatrical Productions has, in collaboration with European producers, furthered the globalisation of the stage musical by turning stage adaptations that flopped in New York into unexpected regional hits, focusing on productions of Disney musicals in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Globalizing Nation States and National Education Projects
Authors: Ramirez Francisco O. , Lee Seungah S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
How does a world society perspective inform our understanding of the relationship between globalization and education? This chapter addresses this question by first reiterating the key assumptions of this perspective and showing how its main conceptual building blocks differ from more realist perspectives. The chapter emphasizes the degree to which the nation state and mass schooling and higher education as nation state projects globalized and, in turn, contributed to the globalization of an idealized nation state and its key institutions. Next, the chapter revisits world society research directions in two domains: (1) portraits of state, society, and the individual in textbooks, and (2) transformations in higher education. More specifically, the chapter gauges the impact of world society models of “the good society” on educational developments. In conclusion, the chapter reflects on which educational developments are likely to persist and which are more vulnerable to challenges to the dominant and guiding visions of progress and justice.
Historical Institutionalism in Education and Globalization
Authors: Graf Lukas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Historical new institutionalism (HI) emphasizes the relevance of temporal sequences, path dependencies, and critical junctures in the study of institutional change. Through this lens, globalization is typically analyzed in terms of how it is related to distinct national trajectories of institutional development. This chapter first presents key concepts of HI and its contributions linked to the study of education, training, and globalization. It then outlines how the historical-institutional analysis of globalization pressures is linked to different modes of change. Next, the chapter offers a case study of recent reforms in the German vocational education and training sector related to global educational expansion and academization. Findings include that in this sector the main pattern of gradual institutional change is layering, implying that new institutions are added on top of existing ones. The conclusion discusses the proposed sectoral HI perspective as well as prospects for further research at the nexus of HI, education, and globalization.
Globalization, New Institutionalisms, and the Political Dimension
Authors: Maroy Christian , Pons Xavier 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks at the political dimension involved in the globalization of education from a neoinstitutionalist perspective, based on a literature review. This review shows that since the 2000s, three major research strands have sedimented. The first is structured around world culture theory and the debates it has generated. The second questions the institutional mediations of globalization at work in different educational contexts. The third focuses on institutional change and the new institutional constructions to which this globalization gives rise. These strands imply different visions of globalization and the role of policy and politics in the changes being studied. While world culture makes globalization the core concept but devotes little attention to the political dimension, research strands 2 and 3 do the opposite: They give an unclear status to the globalization concept but offer rich conceptualization of the political dimension of globalization. The chapter concludes that the political dimension should be included more frontally in neoinstitutionalist conceptualizations of globalization in education, and it suggests a related research agenda.
Mobilizing Whiteness
Authors: Shahjahan Riyad A. , Edwards Kirsten T. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Amid growing debates about globalization of higher education (HE), an analysis of race as a structural force underlying this global phenomenon remains undertheorized. Drawing on the Whiteness as futurity framework (Shahjahan & Edwards, 2022), this chapter provides a critical race temporal account of globalization of HE by critically examining mobility trends in global HE, namely: (a) mobility of imaginaries, (b) mobility of people, and (c) mobility of resources. It demonstrates how Whiteness as futurity colonizes (or orients) global subjects’ imaginaries and reinforces the asymmetrical movements, networks, and untethered economies underpinning global HE. The chapter concludes that globalization discussions need to consider its own complicity, tensions, and complexity with modern-onto-epistemic grammar and desires for quick fixes.
What Do NCI Data Tell Us About People Who Need Support for Self-Injurious Behavior
Authors: Bradley Valerie J. , Hiersteiner Dorothy , Rotholz David A. , Li Henan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the data from the National Core Indicators (NCI) In-Person Survey (IPS) regarding people who need support for self-injurious behavior (SIB). It primarily focuses on the characteristics of people who require support for SIB who receive services from state intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) systems and the community. SIB poses challenges when it comes to planning for and supporting a person to live and participate in their community. Thus, supporting people who require support for SIB entails a significant investment of staff and financial resources. The chapter states that the NCI captured the reported need for SIB-related supports, but the provisions and quality of those supports remain unknown.
Transitional Justice of the Grassroots - A Comparative Survey
Authors: Chakravarty Anuradha 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter challenges two widely prevalent claims about grassroots transitional justice—the first claim is that justice at the grassroots is so contingent and locally-rooted that generalizable findings are elusive; the second posits grassroots dynamics as inconsequential in comparison to the state as the site of high politics. The chapter presents a cross-national micro-comparative framework of transitional justice at the grassroots. Drawing on cases from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the chapter organizes various cases of grassroots justice according to two logics: (i) those that are entirely punitive and aimed at expelling offenders from society to ones based on conditional rehabilitation, and (ii) the main varieties of local participation at the grassroots—those manned by state-appointed operatives at the grassroots and enacting a state vision, to those enacting a state vision but manned by local (often elected) elites as intermediaries, and those genuinely initiated by local actors uninterested in (or in some cases, even taking on) state agendas. The chapter demonstrates that local “low” dynamics are able and have been relied upon to generate “high” power. In particular, the mechanisms identified are mass socialization in the new standards of public life creating a rule-compliant citizenry; generating a human infrastructure of policy implementation and local regulation; and producing within-system interests of potential spoilers, aligning them to the new social contract. Together, these effects stabilize transition regimes in times of political uncertainty, social upheaval, and crisis.
The Affects of Transitional Justice
Authors: Bens Jonas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Transitional justice projects are deeply embedded in Western understandings of law. As such, they are influenced by a specific idea in European modernity: that affects, emotions, feelings, and sentiments should be avoided in order to achieve justice. Certain strands of transitional justice scholarship have questioned this assumption and made a plea to take stock of the workings of emotions in transitional justice projects. These kinds of studies, which are reviewed in this chapter, typically engage in a profound critique of “legalism” in transitional justice, arguing that legal proceedings are not well equipped to accommodate peoples’ emotions. Such research on the affective life of transitional justice presents important insights to critically assess why transitional justice succeeds of fails. This scholarship should, however, not too readily take for granted the modernist narrative that Western law is, or at least should be, free of affect. Transitional justice research should instead develop a critical understanding how even the most legalist of proceedings is deeply embedded in affective dynamics, even if analysts might often not label them as such. This means not only investigating affect and transitional justice but also the affects of transitional justice.
Poverty and Learning
Authors: Balfanz Robert , Lofton Richard , Kim-Christian Paula , McDermott Logan , Clark Emily 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter critically examines the current understanding of the relationship between poverty and learning. It finds that most of the prior and current research on poverty and learning is informed by flawed measurement of poverty, is undercontextualized, and lacks specification in its theorization of how poverty can affect learning. The chapter shows how poverty can affect learning through three avenues: individual well-being and development, opportunity to learn, and institutional and interpersonal interactions that can impede learner agency. It concludes that a better understanding of poverty and learning needs to be built on better measures, greater emphasis on protective factors and individual agency and resiliency, and a more expansive view of what learning is and where it occurs.
A prospective Police Technology Assessment of the use of non-penetrating projectiles for public order maintenance and riot control
Authors: Adang Otto M J , Mali Bas , Vermeulen Kim 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The paper introduces Police Technology Assessment (PTA) to assess the feasibility of a new technology, in this case non-penetrating projectiles (NPPs) (both single- and multi-pellet) for public order maintenance. A PTA allows for a more complete and realistic assessment of the effects of less-lethal weapons than the medical and technical assessments that are usually applied. It assesses the socio-technical framework in which the weapons are to be positioned, including training, guidelines, and behaviour as well as individual and societal perceptions of the weapon within the complex interactions existing between these factors. The conclusion of the assessment is that implementation of NPPs for public order maintenance or riot control does not provide a realistic or effective potential use in line with the public order management concept in use in the Netherlands, whereas use of such projectiles would carry great risks, which include risks to the societal support for the way the police maintains public order.
