Sustainability and Climate Change Will Become Game Changers – Shortly
Authors: Novak David 
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Status regarding climate change and needed activities - The 2015 Paris Agreement was the first global climate conference to set binding targets that must be implemented. Climate change must be combated globally, based on the UN guidelines on the sustainability triangle and the 17 goals. The necessary changes in technologies will affect everyone, regardless of whether they are business (in- cluding SMEs there), society / politics and climate protection / sustainability. In the energy sector (production, distribution and application) in particular, massive changes will have to be made as part of the imperative to decarbonize.
Design / methodology / approach: The goal was to write a short report on the status quo in the area of sustainability and anthropogenic climate change and also to add a vision of how it could look like to- day and possibly at the end of the 21st century based on the current state of knowledge.
Findings: Climate protection and sustainability will increasingly have to be implemented and lived, which is particularly challenging for young people. The energy sector will therefore have to go through the greatest transformation in a necessarily short time that has ever happened. The energy strategies of the future, based on decarbonization, will have to realign themselves with new energy sources such as hydrogen H2 and their new generation countries with sun and wind.
Affected countries: Numerous countries, which are offered these geographical opportunities, become winners in the new competition for income from energy generation, largely paid for by industrialized countries that lack enough free space for wind and solar energy. Emerging and developing countries that are still poor today are opening up unimagined opportunities for high income from hard curren- cies.
Research / Future / Practical Implications: Visions based on the coming energy transition can be derived from this. It will be by far the largest investment in an industry in a short period of time that can probably only be paid for and controlled by the World Bank and the central banks. It will be a gi- gantic and expensive challenge for everyone involved (state, economy, population). Not to do so would become even more expensive in the long term, not to mention the catastrophic effects, specifi- cally also on humanity. So if we don't have a choice - let's go for it!
Originality / value: There is currently very little scientific and even less empirical literature on this entire area. Nevertheless, or precisely because of the massive time pressure imposed by politics and for humanity worldwide, it has to be written and reported on scientifically.
Urbanization in China and the role of social and natural capital in land acquisition and transfer arrangements
Authors: Feng Haying 
Published: March 2022

The paper is in several parts. We explain the context of the study area that is characterized by land acquisition and transfer (LAT) by local government (often against the wishes of the local villagers). We report on a methodology that is simple, yet robust, that enables local land users and other interested parties to quantify the social capital of local people in rural and peri-urban areas of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR) and assess the extent to which social capital influences the bargaining power of land users when faced with acquisition of their cropland, grazing land, woodlands, water and other environmental goods and services. Finally, we explore the notion that social capital can be a force to create a more even playing field and influence the outcomes of land grab for industrial, infrastructure and urban development.
Interest in the concept of social capital and its application has increased rapidly over the past few years with the realization that social bonds and norms are important for achieving sustainability. Ferdinand Tönnies identified the value of the ideas surrounding social capital as early as 1887, but later scholars gave it a theoretical framework. Social capital implies that there are aspects of social structure and organization that act as resources for individuals, allowing them to realize their personal aims and interests. Often, social capital is defined as trust, norms of reciprocity, and networks among individuals that can be drawn upon for individual or collective benefit. Social capital is different between urbanites and rural dwellers, especially farmers.
In this paper, we focus on how social capital serves the interests of individuals or collectives. Social capital based on kinship and geopolitical position plays an important role in affecting rural land transfer. Rural land transfer (also called LAT) is becoming a highly contested matter as China moves to implement its plan to increase the proportion of urban dwellers to 70% by 2030(Ma et al., 2018). Natural capital (a sub-set of social capital) should always be maintained as it is critical to sustainable economic development representing, as it does, a multidimensional concept that mirrors the different frameworks of various scientific disciplines and social groups used in valuing nature. Widespread and rampant LAT that accompanies accelerated economic development in peri-urban and rural areas (Ma et al., 2018) needs to take critical natural capital into account.
Port capacity expansion under real options approach: a case study in Brazil
Authors: Assis Ana Carolina Velloso , Silva Rafael Igrejas , Gomes Luiz Flavio Autran Monteiro , Gonçalves Edson Daniel Lopes 
Published: March 2022

Investments in port container terminals are sensitive to uncertainties. Public investments in infrastructure have been significantly reduced in the last decade in developing countries. The Brazilian government infrastructure investment was only 1.85 % of GDP in 2019, representing the lowest level in the last fifty years. Nonetheless, the regulatory framework of the port sector in Brazil has undergone significant changes over time, increasing the number of private port container terminal leases. The expansion capacity of the private port facilities is strongly linked to the demand uncertainty, which impacts the financial return to the long run. In this scenario, the uncertainty of global cargo transportation can discourage infrastructure investments in this class of project in Brazil. To overcome these issues, the financial modelling applying real options approach is better suited than the traditional valuation methods based on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. The present study aims to value flexibilities of anticipating, or postponing, or interrupting investments of an existing operational port terminal in Brazil with expansion capacity under the demand uncertainty. The financial decision to invest in a port expansion is modeled by an American option. The results demonstrate that the investor adds significant value to the project by having the possibility to postpone investments. The proposed model presents the contribution of optimizing the decision of sequential expansions of capacity in port terminals, at any time and according to scenarios' revelation. In addition, the model allows the government authorities to review lease contracts, considering the relevance of timing to invest in project expansion decisions. The proposed model can also be extended to other infrastructure projects in emerging economies.

George Eliot’s Wetland Form
Authors: Miller Margaret A. 
Published: March 2022

Margaret A. Miller, “George Eliot’s Wetland Form” (pp. 291–320)
This essay relies on the 1747 Lincolnshire bog-woman and her porosity of bodily boundaries as a useful heuristic to historicize the ontological unity between gender unconformity and the environment. George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860), which shares its setting with the Lincolnshire bog-woman, is a novel of wetlands and women, of gender and drainage, and of femininity and floods. This essay reads the novel’s bog-women, including protagonist Maggie Tulliver and an oft-forgotten minor character, the widowed Mrs. Sutton, alongside nineteenth-century agricultural records of Lincolnshire, including manuals on the locally specific land-improvement technique—warping—used to drain the county’s various wetlands. In doing so, the essay argues that The Mill on the Floss reveals land improvement, particularly the postenclosure acts of drainage and warping, as a negative form for female Bildung. In negotiating how to write female development within a patriarchal society, Eliot exposes the violent limitations that ideas of arbitrarily redefining and reclaiming environments as arable and usable “land” during an era of enclosure and nascent global capitalism impose upon female futurity. Ultimately, Maggie’s alignment with wetland ecologies renders her an anachronistic figure of a preindustrial, predrainage past. In a present climate crisis moment of increased urgency to restore wetlands worldwide for their carbon storage capacities, what does it mean to read Maggie’s story not in spite of her death and foreshortened life, but instead as that of an incipient bog-woman who refuses to be drained?
Hamlin Garland’s “Problem of Individual Life”
Authors: Fredner Erik 
Published: March 2022

Erik Fredner, “Hamlin Garland’s ‘Problem of Individual Life’” (pp. 354–383)
This essay returns to the problem of representativeness in politically committed literature by analyzing Hamlin Garland’s advocacy for Henry George’s single tax in three different forms: Garland’s most famous short story (“Under the Lion’s Paw” [1889]), a dramatization of that story’s core themes (Under the Wheel [1890]), and a novelization of that drama (Jason Edwards: An Average Man [1892]). As Garland attests in his autobiography, the conclusion of George’s treatise Progress and Poverty (1879), which considers the possibilities for collective action despite what George calls “The Problem of Individual Life,” inspired Garland’s political message as well as his method of representation. After several prior attempts to balance his work’s “reform motive” with its “art motive,” Garland ultimately uses the emerging concept of the “average person” to address the problem of representativeness. By considering the aesthetic and political transformations that led from “Under the Lion’s Paw” to Jason Edwards, this essay reframes the problem of representativeness in nineteenth-century literature in relation to the rising centrality of statistical thinking.

Norming of Coloured Progressive Matrices Test in Elementary School Children Based on Classical Measurement Theory and Rasch Modeling
Authors: Gusniarti Uly , Rachmawati Mira Aliza , Wibisono Susilo , Annatagia Libbie , Agustina Ike , Rumiani Rumiani 
Published: March 2022

This study aimed to develop Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) norms for the use in the Indonesian context. We used two approaches, namely classical test theory (CTT) which uses raw score (total score) as measurement result information and Rasch modeling which uses logit value as measurement result information. This research was conducted in four regencies and one municipality in the Province of Yogyakarta. The participants were 1,779 elementary school age children recruited through random sampling. The norming analysis in this study divided the data into five age groups in the range of 6 – 12.5 years old. The level of intelligence represented by the results of the CPM measurement consists of five levels, from Grade I to Grade V. Grade V as the lowest intelligence level has a value below the 5th Percentile of the data distribution. Grade IV as the second lowest level of intelligence was located between between the 5th and 25th Percentile of the data distribution. Grade III representing the average level of intelligence had the greatest range from 25th to 75th Percentile. In addition, the range allocated for Grade II was similar to Grade IV, but in the opposite direction of the distribution (i.e., between 75th and 95th Percentile). Lastly, Grade I as a representation of the highest level of intelligence is in the range of values above the 95th Percentile.
An Autoethnographic Journey in Developing Post-Ableist Music Therapy
Authors: Shaw Carolyn May 
Published: March 2022

This paper describes my journey in developing Post-Ableist Music Therapy and offers vignettes of its use in practice. In the style of an autoethnography, it recounts the way I began actively to address the ableism that was uncovered during the analysis process of my PhD research: ‘Developing Post-Ableist Music Therapy: An autoethnography exploring the counterpoint of a therapist experiencing illness/disability’(Shaw, 2019). I set about developing an ethic for practice that would address ableism by using the Foucauldian tool of creating the self as a work of art. I engaged in a creative process as a way to defamiliarise and reconceptualise practice. Post-Ableist Music Therapy was developed and extended the relational ethic beyond what was present in the practice studied, by drawing on aspects of posthumanism (valuing interdependence; Braidotti, 2013), agonistic pluralism (Chambers, 2001; Cloyes, 2002; Mouffe, 2016), and increasing the incorporation of disability studies. Posthumanism was used as a foundation for PAMT (due to the ableist tendencies of humanism), which differs to current music therapy orientations. Therefore, PAMT is offered as an alternative lens in the critical orientations’ apparatus: a social justice practice that is not based on empowerment and humanism, but instead on agonism and posthumanism.

WprowadzenieWytypowanie i wprowadzenie do praktyki klinicznej badania biomarkerów neuroplastyczności u dzieci z głuchotą prelingwalną, leczonych za pomocą wszczepienia implantu ślimakowego pozwoliłoby na zidentyfikowanie pacjentów obarczonych ryzykiem niepowodzenia rehabilitacji słuchu i zoptymalizowanie postępowania terapeutycznego względem nich. W badaniu poddano weryfikacji hipotezę zakładającą, że nosicielstwo określonego zestawu wariantów w genach metaloproteazy macierzowej MMP-9 i neurotrofiny BDNF predysponuje do lepszej odpowiedzi słuchowej na dostarczenie stymulacji zmysłowej, czyli wszczepienie implantu ślimakowego.Materiał i metodyRetrospektywną analizą objęto grupę 121 pacjentów z obustronnym głębokim niedosłuchem czuciowo-nerwowym, którym wszczepiono implant ślimakowy przed ukończeniem 2 roku życia. Wykonano badania nosicielstwa wariantów funkcjonalnych o numerach: rs3918242 w genie MMP9 oraz rs6265 w genie BDNF. Oceniono zależność pomiędzy nosicielstwem odpowiednich wariantów i rozwojem słuchowym po wszczepieniu implantu ślimakowego. Rozwój słuchowy oceniano testem LittlEARS 6-krotnie: przed aktywacją implantu, a potem w 1., 5., 9., 14., i 24. miesiącu po aktywacji implantu.WynikiAnaliza statystyczna wykazała istotne zależności pomiędzy rs3918242 MMP9 i wynikiem LEAQ w 24. miesiącu po aktywacji implantu oraz pomiędzy rs6265 BDNF a wynikiem LEAQ w 5. miesiącu po aktywacji implantu. W podgrupie zaimplantowanej po 1. roku życia stwierdzono istotne statystycznie zależności pomiędzy rs3918242 MMP9 i wynikiem LEAQ we wszystkich interwałach z wyjątkiem 14 miesięcy po aktywacji implantu. W podgrupie zaimplantowanej przed 1. rokiem życia nie zidentyfikowano istotnych statystycznie różnic w tempie rozwoju słuchowego pomiędzy nosicielami poszczególnych wariantów genów MMP9 i BDNF.WnioskiNosicielstwo genotypu C/C rs3918242 MMP9 może predysponować do lepszej odpowiedzi słuchowej na dostarczenie stymulacji zmysłowej w 24 miesiące po aktywacji procesora mowy niż nosicielstwo genotypu C/T tego genu.
Specific Language Impairment – psychological assessment of six school-age children
Authors: Cygan Hanna , Bryłka Martyna 
Published: March 2022

WprowadzenieSpecyficzne zaburzenie językowe (SLI) oznacza zaburzenie rozwojowe charakteryzujące się ilościowymi i jakościowymi upośledzeniami językowymi, które odnoszą się do produkcji i/lub rozumienia języka ojczystego. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki diagnozy psychologicznej sześciorga dzieci z zaburzeniami rozwoju językowego w wieku 9–12 lat. Dokonano w niej oceny funkcjonowania dzieci w zakresie poszczególnych zdolności językowych oraz szerszego funkcjonowania poznawczego i społeczno-emocjonalnego.Opis przypadkuW badaniu wykorzystano próby kliniczne dotyczące mowy opowieściowej, fluencji słownej, rozumienia, gramatyki, słuchowej pamięci fonemów. Do oceny niewerbalnych zdolności intelektualnych zastosowano Test Matryc z baterii WAIS-IV. Oceniono również zakres występowania objawów zaburzeń emocji i zachowania u badanych dzieci, przy wykorzystaniu kwestionariusza CBCL. W wyniku diagnozy wykazano trudności w rozumieniu języka, jak i w mowie czynnej. Badane dzieci mają trudności z nazywaniem, mowa jest niepłynna, występują błędy gramatyczne. W zakresie rozumienia dzieci mają trudności ze złożoną składnią oraz z prawidłowym odbiorem kilkuelementowych poleceń, co może mieć związek ze stwierdzonym w diagnozie ograniczeniem słuchowej pamięci bezpośredniej. Stwierdzono także występowanie objawów zaburzeń emocji i zachowania, które najprawdopodobniej są konsekwencją przeżywanych trudności komunikacyjnych.WnioskiWyniki badania klinicznego wskazują na potrzebę wielopoziomowego postępowania diagnostycznego i terapeutycznego uwzględniającego wsparcie rozwoju językowego, jak również oddziaływania psychologicznego wspierającego funkcjonowanie emocjonalne dzieci z SLI.
