Magnetic Alignment of Microsteel Fibers as Strategy for Reinforcing UHPFRC
Authors: Ledderose Lukas , Baghdadi Abtin , Kloft Harald 
Published: February 2022

The objective of this paper is to provide an insight into current basic research at ITE on the manufacturing process of resource-efficient components through the controlled, automated magnetic distribution and alignment of steel fibers in UHPFRC (Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete). The method for distributing and aligning steel fibers in UHPFRC is based on the physical phenomenon of magnetism. Since steel fibers are ferromagnetic, magnetic fields can selectively change their position in the fresh concrete and align them according to the force flow and the maxim "form follows force". The magnetic fiber alignment (MFA) process developed on this principle combines the capabilities of digital and automized component manufacturing with the potential of targeted fiber alignment to increase the material efficiency of UHPFRC. It is highlighted at four levels: UHPFRC
At the material level, studies were conducted on the composite properties of different brand-new and recycled microsteel fibers (MSF), formwork designs suitable for the MFA process were developed, flux densities of different magnets were simulated with special software solutions and measured in practice, and an end effector was fabricated that was implemented on 3- and 6-axis kinematics. At the process level, the interaction of the main parameters of the MFA process was evaluated by visual analysis on transparent glucose syrup-based solutions, and series of specimens were analyzed by micro-CT scans. At the component level, centric tensile tests were performed on a wide variation of dog-bones to provide an assessment of the potential increase in tensile performance of UHPFRC by the MFA process. At an economic and environmental evaluation level, the results from the tensile tests were used to assess and quantify the potential savings from reducing the fiber content and using recycled steel fibers.
Warding Off the Ghosts of Race in the Historiography of Philosophy
Authors: Mercier Lucie Kim-Chi 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article contends that an adequate investigation of the role and effects of race in the history of philosophy requires an elucidation of the ways in which the history of philosophy functions as a “territorial” structure. This argument is developed through an extensive cross-examination of Peter Park's Africa, Asia and the History of Philosophy: Racism in the Formation of the Philosophical Canon 1780–1830 (2013) and Catherine König-Pralong's La colonie philosophique. Écrire l'histoire de la philosophie aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles (2019). I show that although the two studies inquire into the fixation of the history of philosophy on Europe that took place in German and French philosophy at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, they do so via different explanatory frameworks, highlighting diverging critical strategies in the dismantling of Eurocentrism in the discipline. In the final part I contrast three broad critical strategies against the Eurocentric orientation of the historiography of philosophy based on opposite problematizations of the territoriality of the history of philosophy: the territory as (1) jurisdiction, (2) relational field, and (3) space of address.

The effect of large scale moisture and moist static energy (MSE) budget on the onset and activities of summer monsoon is investigated. The data base for this study consists of twice daily First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) level IIIb analysis of temperature, relative humidity, geopotential and wind fields for a tropical belt from 20 deg. S to 40 deg. Nand 0 deg. E to 150 deg. E, during May-July 1979.

The daily variation, vertical distribution and period averages of the various terms in latent heat energy (LHE) and MSE budget equation are closely examined to find out their influence on the activities of monsoon. The study indicates significant increase in the net LHE, horizontal. Convergence of moisture and diabatic moisture sink (indicator of excess condensation than evaporation) about two week before the onset pf monsoon over Kerala coast. Further, a decreasing trend is observed in horizontal convergence of moisture and moisture sink about one week before the break monsoon condition, which started over India on 16 July 1979. However, the various terms of the MSE budget equation do not depict my significant trend with the advance of the monsoon. The vertical distribution, period averages and the boundary fluxes also confirm the above findings.
Learning and Change Networks.
Authors: Annan Jean , Carpenter Rose 
Published: February 2022

The Learning and Change Network Strategy (LCN) was developed to raise students’ achievement by appreciating, extending and enriching their learning environments. Throughout New Zealand there are 53 voluntary, networked communities of practice. They involve the active participation of students, teachers, parents, school leaders and community members from early childhood centres and primary, intermediate, secondary, and special education schools. Together the participants explore learning environments in relation to mutually-understood achievement challenges and make changes based on unique, contextually-specific analyses. Networks are observing impacts of this change on student outcomes and the practice of all participants. They have noticed that many children have made academic gains, collaboration within and between schools and communities has increased, and teachers, parents and students themselves have gained new insights into the students’ learning. Schools have benefited from the broadening of leadership and evaluative capability of staff and the transfer of in-depth methods of inquiry into school initiatives.
Expanding on the Meanings of Empathy in the Classroom: Seeing Through a Cultural Lens.
Authors: Duncan Wayne , Macfarlane Angus , Quinlivan Kathleen , Macfarlane Sonja 
Published: February 2022

This paper explores the factors that may influence the social and relational development of empathy in a Year 13 classroom from a kaupapa Maˉori perspective, and discusses how these factors compare with a Western perspective of empathy. Understandings of empathy are widely documented in the conventional literature and, while the realities pertaining to empathy have been part of the fabric of Te Ao Maˉori (the Maˉori World), there has not been satisfactory levels of understanding by Western social scientists. It is proposed in this study that viewing empathy, through a bicultural lens, may provide relevant and meaningful understandings of empathy for both partners to the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. This study explores the heuristic understandings of how the research participants experienced culturally-sensitive understandings of empathy within their face-to-face classroom interactions. The understandings of 14 students and their teacher were analysed through the Maˉori concepts of manaakitanga, kotahitanga, rangatiratanga, whanaungatanga and puˉmanawatanga; constructs that underpin Macfarlane’s (2004) Educultural Wheel. Adopting a qualitative case study methodology, the participants engaged in an iterative dialogical research strategy based on Gadamer’s hermeneutics (1975, 2001). This iterative research strategy enabled the students and their teacher to co-construct their developing understandings with the researcher, over time. Data collection occurred over a six-month period and comprised: 14 initial one-on-one interviews with students and the teacher; one student focus-group interview, and individual respondent-validation interviews with, respectively, 12 students and one teacher. Classroom participant observations, students’ written diaries and researcher field notes enriched the interview data. Factors identified by the research participants affecting the development of empathy from kaupapa Maˉori perspectives are presented, and the relation to Western perspectives are discussed. The findings indicate the importance of social engagements that are founded on an ethic-of-care (manaakitanga) and are duly focused on taking an interest in the individual. The findings of the study may be helpful in informing the development of more equitable and culturally-responsive educational practices (Castagno & Brayboy, 2008).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Acquisition of Mother Language and Child Intelligence together on Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes. The results showed the effect of mother tongue acquisition and children's intelligence together on Indonesian learning outcomes with the regression equation Ŷ = 9.120 + 1.654X1 + 0.338X2, with a correlation coefficient = 0.884 with a significance level of  = 5% and the determinant coefficient = 78,10%. From the regression equation, it can be interpreted that the Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes score. The constant value = 9,120 indicates that the lowest mother tongue language acquisition (X1) and children's intelligence (X2) conditions do not allow the child to obtain high Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes (Y). The test results obtained regression coefficients of 1.654 and 0.338 indicating a positive effect. From the analysis of the scores on the Indonesian learning test results show that learninglanguage in Kindergarten is less directed towards developing language skills as a whole, but rather emphasizes receptive abilities; listening and reading are relatively good, while the ability is productive; speaking and writing is very lacking, because the child can speak fluently when doing free speech, but when talking is based on lesson themes, the child's speaking ability is a bit choked up, so is writing, because it is only intended to train the child's fine motor skills not intended to develop language skills.
PENEGASAN KEBENARAN AGAMA TERHADAP SAINS
Authors: The Fredy 
Published: February 2022

Science and religion are interesting topics to discuss, because science and religion are often contradicted in the history of their development to date. The purpose of this research is to look at the position of science and religion by reaffirming the truth of religion, especially the Bible as the Word of God towards science. The research method used is a qualitative method with a systematic literature study using the approach of Ian G. Barbour and John F. Hought. Barbour's approach relates science and religion to four types of conflict, independent, dialogue, and integration relationships, while Hought uses four types of conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation relationships. Based on Barbour and Hought's approach, it can be resulted that science has limitations so that religion must still be the umbrella of science, so that this confirms the truth of religion towards science. Conclusion of this research can be an enlightenment in the midst of different views regarding the creation of the universe according to the views of science and religion through the approach of Barbour and Hought who are scientists as well as theologians so that it can be seen more objectively. The Bible must still be believed to be the highest truth in the midst of the progress of scientific development.

Objective: To observe the effect of rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation due to valvular heart diseases for proper anticoagulation to avoid stroke.
Methodology: An observational follow up study was carried out in Cardiology Department of Aziz Fatimah Hospital, Faisalabad from February to August 2021. The study included 36 patients of valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation on warfarin, whose INR was not tested during the last 4 months due to lack of facility nearby. All patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation were excluded .All patients were given rivaroxaban to replace warfarin. These patients were followed up for 6 months in the OPD of the same hospital to observe the end points including stroke and bleeding episodes and ischemic changes on ECG.
Results: Total of 36 patients of mean age and SD of 56±7.00 years were followed up. Out of which 20 were male and 16 were female subjects.Not a single incident of stroke or bleeding episode or bruises was observed during the 6 month follow up. On echocardiographic examination, none of the patients showed clot in the left atrium. Left atrium size and LV ejection fraction remained the same, during next visit. LA size 44±5 and 44±6 on 1st and second visit respectively (p value =0.059) No other ischemic changes found in the ECG of any patient. International normalization ratio (INR) mean and SD was 2.1± 0.9, 2.2± 0.8, on 1st and 2nd visit of follow up respectively and no significant difference was noted between INR values.
Conclusion: Rivaroxaban can be given safely to the patients with valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation, particularly in patients who cannot get the INR checked on regular basis.
Mating Strategies of Invasive Versus Indigenous Crayfish: Multiple Paternity as a Driver for Invasion Success?

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The invasive spiny-cheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) has been able to colonize many European waterbodies since its first introduction into Europe, threatening the indigenous crayfish fauna. The remarkable reproductive plasticity of this species has been suggested as an important factor contributing to the alarming invasiveness of this species. In this study, we compared the reproductive strategies of an invasive (F. limosus) and a sympatric indigenous crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus). We questioned if the reproductive abilities, namely parthenogenesis and multiple paternity, may contribute to an ongoing invasion process in the Lower Danube. Using microsatellites, we genotyped the mothers and their offspring from 11 clutches of F. limosus and 18 clutches of P. leptodactylus. While no parthenogenesis has been found in F. limosus populations, multiple paternity has been detected for the first time in both species, with comparable incidence. The results of the study indicate that multiple paternity does not play a dominant role in the successful colonization of F. limosus in the Danube. However, the presented results have to be regarded as a pilot study, with a limited number of samples and loci investigated. Given the relevance of mating system knowledge for management measures, future studies with larger sample number could provide valuable contributions to ongoing conservation actions.
Technology of the Oppressed
Authors: Nemer David 
Published: February 2022

How Brazilian favela residents engage with and appropriate technologies, both to fight the oppression in their lives and to represent themselves in the world.
Brazilian favelas are impoverished settlements usually located on hillsides or the outskirts of a city. In Technology of the Oppressed, David Nemer draws on extensive ethnographic fieldwork to provide a rich account of how favela residents engage with technology in community technology centers and in their everyday lives. Their stories reveal the structural violence of the information age. But they also show how those oppressed by technology don't just reject it, but consciously resist and appropriate it, and how their experiences with digital technologies enable them to navigate both digital and nondigital sources of oppression—and even, at times, to flourish.
Nemer uses a decolonial and intersectional framework called Mundane Technology as an analytical tool to understand how digital technologies can simultaneously be sites of oppression and tools in the fight for freedom. Building on the work of the Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire, he shows how the favela residents appropriate everyday technologies—technological artifacts (cell phones, Facebook), operations (repair), and spaces (Telecenters and Lan Houses)—and use them to alleviate the oppression in their everyday lives. He also addresses the relationship of misinformation to radicalization and the rise of the new far right. Contrary to the simplistic techno-optimistic belief that technology will save the poor, even with access to technology these marginalized people face numerous sources of oppression, including technological biases, racism, classism, sexism, and censorship. Yet the spirit, love, community, resilience, and resistance of favela residents make possible their pursuit of freedom.

BackgroundInfection is an important risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while infection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with GDM remains unclear and rarely reported. This study aimed to investigate the association of HCMV infection and serum inflammatory factor levels in pregnancy with GDM.MethodsThis prospective study included pregnant women who attended at Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Hospital and Zibo Maternal and Child Health Hospital between December 2018 and August 2020. HCMV specific IgM and serum levels of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, were analyzed.ResultsA total of 5,316 pregnant women were included (415 with GDM (107 with HCMV+GDM+ and 308 with HCMV-GDM+) and 4901 GDM-free (759 with HCMV+GDM- and 4142 with HCMV-GDM-)). The prevalence of GDM was 7.81%. The rate of activation of HCMV was 16.29%. Specifically, 107 and 759 women in the GDM and control group exhibited HCMV infection, with positive rates of25.78% and 15.48%, respectively (P < 0.01). TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β at 24–28 weeks of gestation were significantly higher in women with GDM and HCMV infection than inthe other groups (allP < 0.01). Multivariable analysis showed that HCMV positive (OR = 1.851; 95% CI [1.425–2.403];P < 0.001), IL-6 (OR = 1.010; 95% CI [1.002–1.018];P = 0.013), and IL-1β (OR = 1.410; 95% CI [1.348–1.474];P < 0.001) were all significantly correlated with GDM.ConclusionThis study suggests HCMV infection during pregnancy is an independent risk factor of GDM and could significantly increase its incidence. Further studies are needed to elucidate possible mechanisms underlying associations between HCMV infection and GDM.
Elastic Net (Model Selection)
Authors: Moldovan Max , Taylor Julian 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
An elastic net (EN) is an algorithm for fitting penalized regression models using a convex combination of the LASSO and ridge penalty norms. The algorithm takes advantage of both the sparsity property of the LASSO and variable grouping property of the ridge, making it a natural choice for model selection. EN estimates can be computed using LASSO‐based estimation methods, such as Least Angle Regression (LARS) or coordinate descent, and computational implementations of these methods are available in open‐source software packages.
E‐Value

Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article describes a coherent Bayesian measure of evidence for precise or sharp null hypotheses, the evidence value, or e‐value, derived from the fully Bayesian significance test (FBST), based solely on the posterior distribution of the parameters of the statistical model. The method can be easily implemented using modern numerical optimization and integration techniques. After illustrating its use on two nonstandard applications (Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and the Behrens–Fisher problem), we list some of its properties and refer the interested reader to articles discussing further applications and properties of the e‐value.

Published: February 2022

AbstractLoad‐sharing models originated in the study of the breaking strength of bundles of threads in 1945 and fibrous composites 20 years later. Its first use in physics was apparently in 1989 after which it was popularized in the physical science community as the fiber bundle model for modeling the breakdown of physical systems. The history and background of this model and its use are discussed.
