description: Can Eucharistic ecclesiology introduced by twentieth century Russian exiles be traced to Patristic sources and considered a framework capable of resolving interfaith issues? Does Eucharistic ecclesiology address the problem of the communion between churches and the relations of primacy and supremacy? Can it offer a workable solution to the unification of the divided “body of Christ”? While Laurent Cleenewerck boldly attempts to answer these questions, his interpretations are not without their shortcomings.

description: Agile development methods have become a standard in the software industry, including in large-scale projects. These methods share a set of underlying assumptions that distinguish them from more traditional plan-driven approaches. In this article, we adopt Alvesson and Sandberg's problematization approach to challenge three key assumptions that are prevalent in the large-scale agile literature: (1) agile and plan-driven methods are mutually exclusive; (2) self-managing and hierarchically organized teams are mutually exclusive; and (3) agile methods can scale through simple linear composition. Using a longitudinal case study of large-scale agile development, we describe a series of trigger events and episodes whereby the agile approach was tailored to address the needs of the large-scale development context, which was very much at odds with these fundamental assumptions. We develop a set of new underlying assumptions which suggest that agile and plan-driven practices are mutually enabling and necessary for coordination and scaling in large-scale agile projects. We develop nine propositions for large-scale agile projects based on these new alternative underlying assumptions. Finally, we summarize our theoretical contribution in a generic process model of continuously adjusting agile and plan-driven practices in order to accommodate process challenges in large-scale agile projects.

description: L'objectif de cette étude est d’étudier, en utilisant un protocole expérimental accéléré, l'influence de la carbonatation sur les isothermes de désorption et d'adsorption des matériaux cimentaires. Les matériaux analysés sont fabriqués à base de ciment CEM I. Les échantillons utilisés sont de type disques minces de 37 mm de diamètre et 2 mm d'épaisseur. Les isothermes sont obtenues par suivi gravimétrique des disques placés en enceinte climatique. 20 disques de chaque matériau ont été utilisés dans l'étude et les isothermes de sorption sont obtenues par la moyenne de l'ensemble des disques utilisés. Les résultats montrent que les matériaux issus de la carbonatation accélérée, ont une perte de masse, durant la première semaine à un palier d'humidité relative de 95%, supérieure à celle des matériaux sains. Les résultats montrent aussi que 2 semaines par palier d'humidité relative sont suffisantes pour considérer qu’un état d'équilibre hydrique partiel est atteint au moins sur la branche de désorption. L'analyse des isothermes a montré que, le colmatage des pores dû à la carbonatation engendre une augmentation des pores capillaires tout en diminuant la porosité connectée des hydrates.

description: The chemical composition and antiviral activity of aqueous extract from Baccharis anomala was studied by bioactivity-guided fractionation. Ethanol precipitation and fractionation by molecular permeation allowed the separation of the anti-herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) active fraction from aqueous extract (Fraction B). Natural Product Reagent A, FeCl3 and thin-layer chromatography indicated the presence of phenolic compounds in the aqueous extract. Fraction B showed pronounced antiviral activity when tested with HSV-1 strains VR733/ATCC and Acyclovir-resistant 29-R, displaying virucidal but not virustatic activity.

description: Afin de réduire l’impact carbone de la fabrication du ciment Portland, l’utilisation d’additions minérales en substitution au clinker est largement répendue. En plus de limiter les rejets de gaz à effets de serre, les liants hydrauliques à hautes teneurs en additions minérales présentent, pour une cure adéquate, des propriétés intéressantes vis-à-vis de la durabilité. Cependant, certains ouvrages réalisés avec des matrices cimentaires à teneur élevée en additions minérales ont présenté de la fissuration au jeune âge suite à la restriction de leurs déformations différées. L’objectif principal de cette étude expérimentale est de déterminer l’impact de l’ajout de bi-additions (laitier de haut-fourneau et cendres volantes) à des taux de substitution élevés et de leur activation chimique sur les déformations différées et leur sensibilité à la fissuration. Il apparaît que les matériaux à teneurs élevées en additions minérales sont assez sensibles au retrait de dessiccation. L’activation chimique permet d’accroître la résistance en traction au jeune âge et de diminuer le module de Young, mais génère un accroissement du retrait endogène. Un couplage fort entre hydratation et séchage est observé, affectant le développement des déformations.

description: Water is important for drinking, bathing, washing, cooling, and protecting to continue surviving. Rapid development in human activities causes several of water issues and problems especially in river pollution. Water pollution occurs in Sekudai River through UTM River. Therefore, this research study is conducted to determine factors contribution to UTM River pollution through classification based Water Quality Index (WQI). Sampling area is concentrate along UTM River with setting of seven (7) stations in upstream, middle stream, and downstream river. Analysis showed majority parameters for DO, BOD, COD, NH3-N, SS, and pH are in class three and only minority is in class two or one, which result in calculation for WQI is class three in station 1 to station 7. UTM River proved water quality is in slightly polluted condition due to human activities which cause contamination through concrete waste, chemical waste, garbage and washing wastewater, restaurants, chain stores, gas stations, and so on. Continuous human activities will cause UTM River to be totally polluted and causing ‘dead’ river, which will reduce human quality life and destruct environment. Therefore, human should be controlled, reduced, responsible, and ethically to protect the environment from ‘missing’ forever.

description: Asparagus adscendens Roxb. (Asparagaceae), is native to the Himalayas. The present study, for the first time, was undertaken to explore the antimicrobial potential, to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the methanol extract of the roots of A. adscendens and its solid-phase extraction (SPE) fractions using resazurin microtitre assay against Gram-positive and negative bacterial-registered strains and to carry out HPLC-photodiode array analysis of the SPE fractions. The methanol extract and all SPE exhibited considerable level of antibacterial potential against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC: 2.5–0.009 mg/mL) than against Gram-negative bacteria (MIC: 1.25–2.5 mg/mL). The use of microtitre plates has the advantage of lower cost, fast and quantitative results. Like other Asparagus species, the presence of phenolic compounds in all SPE fractions was evident in the HPLC-PDA data.

description: Dans les milieux hétérogènes, les mécanismes physiques et mécaniques ne peuvent être complètement analysés sans prendre en compte la présence d’interfaces au sein des matériaux. Ces frontières, d’épaisseur faible, voir nulle, présentent un défi en terme de modélisation et de caractérisation expérimentale. Dans les matériaux cimentaires comme le béton, les interfaces entre inclusions rocheuses et pâte de ciment sont particulièrement importantes de par leur épaisseur non négligeable, leur structure très poreuse et leur comportement mécanique plus faible. De par leur structure poreuse, une grande quantité d’eau libre est stockée dans ces zones. Une présence qui est associée par beaucoup à la variation des comportements mécaniques sous sollicitations dynamiques. Dans cette étude, une méthode expérimentale de caractérisation de l’interface entre une roche, le granite, et un mortier est présentée. Les méthodes de dépouillement permettant d’obtenir différents paramètres caractérisant le comportement à rupture de cette interface seront discutés.

description: La fabrication industrielle des bétons autoplaçants (BAP) est ralentie en raison du temps de malaxage long souvent nécessaire pour ces types de matériaux. L’objectif de ce travail est de proposer une méthode d'optimisation du temps de malaxage en vue de réduire la consommation énergétique et d'augmenter la productivité. Pour cela, une campagne expérimentale menée dans une centrale à béton a été effectuée. La méthode proposée ici consiste à définir le temps nécessaire pour obtenir la stabilisation de la puissance consommée par le malaxeur. Ce temps de stabilisation est ensuite considéré comme le temps de malaxage suffisant pour chaque gâchée de béton. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus à partir de 23 gâchées de deux formules de BAP fabriquées ont été analysées afin de déterminer la différence de consommation d'énergie entre le processus de malaxage actuel et celui basé sur l'optimisation du temps de malaxage. Les résultats montrent qu’en optimisant le temps de malaxage, la consommation d'énergie est réduite d'environ 13%. En outre, les gains de productivité sont nettement marqués par l'obtention d'une réduction de 16% du temps de malaxage moyen.

Review of The Melody of Faith: Theology in an Orthodox Key, by Vigen Guroian
Creators: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Theology

description: In the preface of Vigen Gurioan's accessibly manageable tome, he offers readers a vignette about a comment the editor-in-chief of Eerdmans Publishing once made to him regarding his style of scholarship. To quote the editor: "Vigen, you write tone poems." It is then quite expected that the author begins this fine work with a statement about its structure, which to those steeped in Western Latin Christianity may seem foreign or stylistically unclear. He writes "[the book's] coherence and organization are less architectonic than musical. This is consistent with the general character of Orthodox Christian theology," (xi). But it is just this statement which is most helpful and welcome, and from the viewpoint of this reviewer, fits nicely into the breadth of Orthodox theology in general.

The Indistinct Human in Renaissance Literature. Jean E. Feerick and Vin Nardizzi

description: As we now live in a new geological epoch—the Anthropocene—and on a planet almost wholly transformed by humanity, many humanists are turning their attention to accounts of human beings living in different kinds of relationships with nature. Shannon’s The Accommodated Animal (2012), for example, looks at the process by which humans came to be tyrants over what had once been a “cosmopolity” of “living things.” The Indistinct Human is indebted to Shannon’s work—her essay “The Eight Animals in Shakespeare” serves as a “Head-Piece” to the volume — but it is also indebted to Aristotle’s account of the “ensouledness of all things” in De Anima. The editors’ own concerns — Vin Nardizzi is the author of Wooden Os: Shakespeare’s Theatres and England’s Trees (2013) and Jean E. Feerick of Strangers in Blood: Relocating Race in Renaissance Literature (2010) — indicate their interests in materiality in a broad sense, most notably in the relationship between human bodies and “the sentient and stony things that surround, inhabit and constitute” them. The volume’s introduction lays out the position of early modern humans in the wider sphere of creation: beneath the angels and above all other “creatures of this inferior world”, yet nonetheless only contingently and precariously distinct. “The potential for human indistinction,” the editors argue, “is the dark underside of Renaissance celebrations of man’s preeminent place within the cosmos”.

description: Understanding Language Testing is a valuable contribution to language teacher education; it addresses the essential facets of language testing needed by language test users, including practitioners, program administrators, and future language test developers, to effectively evaluate and assess the language ability of language learners. The book covers the key considerations in the development and use of language tests today in a succinct yet comprehensive manner. It begins with a quick introduction of what language testing entails, and a discussion of what counts as language ability, the object of measurement in language testing. Douglas also examines the contextual elements of language use necessary to create authentic contextualized tasks that provide for valid and reliable inferences about a test taker’s language ability. After that, he outlines the steps in test development, starting with a needs analysis through which the purpose of the assessment is defined, the targeted population is identified, and the target language use task and language characteristics are clearly described. Douglas then focuses on the development of test tasks. In Chapter 4, he considers alternatives in assessment, including conference and portfolio assessments, self- and peer-assessment, task-based and performance assessments, and finally, dynamic assessment. Chapter 5 presents a mini-course in statistics. The book ends with Chapter 6, in which issues in technology and language testing, technology and task types, and automated scoring, are examined.

description: James Paul Gee’s Unified Discourse Analysis: Language, Reality, Virtual Worlds, and Video Games not only offers a comprehensive theoretical framework that can be used to analyze discourse, video games, and action, but also explores the underlying commonalities that unite these seemingly disparate domains. The root of Gee’s theory is that “conversations” are not limited to talk, but also include text and action (what he calls “conversations with the world”). In life, humans have conversations with the world by taking on various identities (avatars) and “playing” as themselves through their interactions. Readers, too, interact with text by conversing with it in their minds, gleaning what they see as relevant based on the objectives of their avatars. Gee argues that video games, as a new multimodal communicative form, ought to be granted the same consideration that literary critics have given to texts and discourse analysts have given to discourse. Video games, like other forms of communication, involve interaction and turn-taking: A player performs an action in a game, and the game responds. Throughout this book, Gee weaves together illustrative examples from history and experience, images and analyses of video games, segments of classroom discourse, and even excerpts from literature and poetry to support this expansive framework.

description: Slope failure becomes major issues and problems in dangerous human life and properties. This research study carried out to determine factors that affect the hill slope in contribute to slope failure using GIS approach. GIS techniques required several data for analysis, namely elevation data and contour maps, land used map data, original map data, and vegetation map data; which can be received from government department or agencies, height and topographic data maps, data from internet sources, and data from documentation includes publications. The selected area for this research study is Selangor State, which highlighted rapid development of land used for human activities. Accordingly, the first step will be entering all data into database, which involve with the physical and environment components; while the second step will be identification and preparation based on the data layers that required in the research study; and the third step are storing data into database for designed. The storage is referring to non-spatial data elements and geographical data. Results indicate three categories of factors, namely steepness factors, land used activities, and vegetation cover factors. Although the GIS indicate the three factors as main influenced of slope failure, however, the slope failure will still continue to danger the human life and properties. Department of Town and Country Planning should control and prevent any development to carry out surrounding the hill of slope.

description: Une étude expérimentale a été menée sur 21 formulations avec des fractions volumiques en fibres comprises entre 0 et 0.8 %, ainsi qu’avec trois fractions volumiques en granulats différentes : 20, 40 et 60 %. A l’état frais, la consistance et la teneur en air ont été mesurées. A l’état durci, les résistances en compression et flexion, ainsi que la résistivité électrique ont été mesurées. Lorsque la fraction volumique en sable est de 20 ou 40 %, les fibres carbone causent une importante diminution de la résistivité électrique des mortiers, contrairement aux formulations comportant une fraction volumique de sable de 60 %. L’influence directe des fibres sur la résistance à la compression est négligeable, cependant les fibres peuvent causer une légère augmentation de l’air entraîné, et donc provoquer de manière indirecte une légère diminution de la résistance en compression. Les fibres carbone permettent une augmentation de la résistance en flexion, qui est d’autant plus notable lorsque leur matrice cimentaire comporte une fraction volumique de sable faible, et donc une résistance en flexion peu élevée.

This research study carried out to determine the status of water quality and investigate possibilities pollutant sources that contribute contamination into UTM River. 7 sampling stations cover upstream river, middle-stream river, and downstream river that test on 6 physico-chemistry parameter namely DO, pH, BOD, COD, SS, and NH3N. River water are analyzed based on APHA 2005 that divided into two categories, in-situ or onsite analysis for DO and pH, and ex-situ or laboratory analysis for BOD, COD, SS and NH3N. Result indicates UTM River is majority in class 1 and class 2. However, uncontrolled and unmanageable of rapid development in land used activities will possibility and probability to cause river water pollution to increase into class 3 and class 4. Therefore, investigation towards possibilities of pollutant sources that contribute contamination into UTM River through land used activity are detected namely residential activity, agricultural activity (small scale), road and bridges construction activity, building construction activity, and sedimentation activity. Hence, human should respect, protect and responsible towards river water quality from being destructed through pollution that may destroy the environmental-nature as a whole.

description: Proponents often explain support for international investment agreements (IIAs) for their ability to: (1) promote investment flows; (2) depoliticize disputes between investors and states; (3) promote the rule of law; and (4) provide compensation for certain harms to investors – objectives of varying degrees of importance to multinational enterprises, home states, host states, and other stakeholders. While each of these objectives may seem desirable, it is important to consider what exactly they mean and whether IIAs are optimally tailored to achieve them. This two-part series aims to consider just that. In the first blog installment, we asked of investor-state dispute settlement: "What Are We Trying to Achieve? Does ISDS Get Us There?" To follow up, in this Working Paper we’ve considered a number of alternative tools that, when used alone or in combination, might better serve the above objectives as well as the goals of sustainable development more generally.

description: Many problems in statistical learning, imaging, and computer vision involve the optimization of a non-convex objective function with singularities at the boundary of the feasible set. For such challenging instances, we develop a new interior-point technique building on the Hessian-barrier algorithm recently introduced in Bomze, Mertikopoulos, Schachinger and Staudigl, [SIAM J. Opt. 2019 29(3), pp. 2100-2127], where the Riemannian metric is induced by a generalized selfconcordant function. This class of functions is sufficiently general to include most of the commonly used barrier functions in the literature of interior point methods. We prove global convergence to an approximate stationary point of the method, and in cases where the feasible set admits an easily computable self-concordant barrier, we verify worst-case optimal iteration complexity of the method. Applications in non-convex statistical estimation and Lp-minimization are discussed to given the efficiency of the method.

description: This paper suggests an “anti-circumvention” principle that may be usefully invoked in certain First Amendment cases. The principle would be used by the judiciary, in its discretion, to limit the use of the First Amendment to circumvent an ongoing and functioning political debate. More precisely: In cases where the underlying law does not censor political speech, nor arise from majoritarian prejudice against a despised or unpopular speaker, and particularly where the political debate is in progress, the judiciary should avoid using the First Amendment to give one side of the debate a judicially granted circumvention of democratic politics.

description: Objective: To demonstrate a strategy employed by predatory publishers to trap eager-to-publish authors or researchers into submitting their work. Methods: This was a case study of 13 potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers with similar characteristics. Eleven publishers were included from Beall’s list and two additional publishers were identified from a Google web search. Each publisher’s site was visited and its content analyzed. Publishers publishing biomedical journals were further explored and additional data was collected regarding their volumes, details of publications and editorial-board members. Results: Overall, the look and feel of all 13 publishers was similar including names of publishers, website addresses, homepage content, homepage images, list of journals and subject areas, as if they were copied and pasted. There were discrepancies in article-processing charges within the publishers. None of the publishers identified names in their contact details and primarily included only email addresses. Author instructions were similar across all 13 publishers. Most publishers listed journals of varied subject areas including biomedical journals (12 publishers) covering different geographic locations. Most biomedical journals published none or very few articles. The highest number of articles published by any single biomedical journal was 28. Several editorial-board members were listed across more than one journals, with one member listed 81 times in different 69 journals (i.e. twice in 12 journals). Conclusion: There was a strong reason to believe that predatory publishers may have several publication houses with different names under a single roof to trap authors from different geographic locations.
First Things First: Online Advertising Practices and Their Effects on Platform Speech

description: This paper will explore a framework for regulating platforms without mandating content-based restrictions. To do so, it will explain that the platforms have the technical means to provide curated spaces. The analysis will then show why an ex post content-based moderation system cannot solve the root problems faced by platforms. It will then examine the incentive structure created by the targeted advertising model and show that addressing those incentives would likely reduce the spread of harmful content on many platforms without running afoul of the First Amendment.

Professional development for teachers

description: Edited by Alan Maley, the book is focusing on the role of experience in teacher training and life-long development, it is an exploration and extension of Prabhu’s concept of ‘the teacher’s sense of plausibility’. Prabhu suggests that whatever forms of training and professional development teachers are exposed to, they will make sense of them in their own way, drawing on their own values, beliefs and experiences and their evolving sense of what will be appropriate for them in their specific context. Twenty practitioners world-wide were invited to reflect on their own career trajectories in the light of Prabhu’s idea. Their responses offer fascinating insights into the way places, publications, ideas and key people have influenced the professional and personal development of the contributors.

description: We consider alternating minimization procedures for convex optimization problems with variable divided in many block, each block being amenable for minimization with respect to its variable with freezed other variables blocks. In the case of two blocks, we prove a linear convergence rate for alternating minimization procedure under Polyak-Łojasiewicz condition, which can be seen as a relaxation of the strong convexity assumption. Under strong convexity assumption in many-blocks setting we provide an accelerated alternating minimization procedure with linear rate depending on the square root of the condition number as opposed to condition number for the non-accelerated method.

description: Growing cries for action to effectively address the climate and other environmental crises hold important implications for the governance of cross-border investments. Policymakers and environmental advocates have often overlooked how provisions granted by states in international investment agreements (IIAs) have been used by investors to challenge government measures taken in the public interest to protect the environment and advance environmental justice. This 2019 paper, published in the Sciences Po Legal Review issue devoted to the climate crisis, explains how the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism, made available to investors in thousands of bilateral and multilateral trade and investment agreements, may influence the future of environmental justice. It revisits and builds upon discussions of how ISDS may chill legitimate and necessary regulation (or shift the costs thereof), elaborating upon theories of chill and providing examples of how ISDS has been used to challenge actions taken to address the climate crisis and protect threatened water resources. The paper also then explores implications for the environmental justice dimensions of environmental regulation, describing how ISDS can undermine democratic processes and stakeholders’ abilities to meaningfully participate in environmental decisionmaking and protect their rights. The paper concludes with recommendations on how states can address the systemic impact of ISDS on regulatory space over environmental and other matters of public interest.

Discerning Strange Voices: A review of James Conner, David Scott, and Bonnie Thurston, The Voice of the Stranger

description: This is a book review of James Conner, David Scott, and Bonnie Thurston, "The Voice of the Stranger." "The Voice of the Stranger is a compilation of three essays and a Eucharistic homily from the Seventh General Meeting and Conference of the Thomas Merton Society of Great Britain and Ireland, which took place on April 4-6, 2008 at Oakham School, the boarding school that Merton attended in his adolescence. The Voice of the Stranger is only 58 pages and saddle-stitched, making it feel more like an issue of a journal than a book. I will, therefore, use the term "booklet" to describe it. As the title suggests, its central theme is that of "the stranger." Each of the three authors addresses that general theme in a radically different way. There are, however, unifying threads. Each author challenges stereotypical ideas about who is and is not a "stranger," in ways that allow Merton to speak to situations that deeply haunt the world today. James Conner, OCSO, is the author of the first essay, entitled "The Voice of the Stranger: A Manifesto for the 21st Century." The goal of this manifesto, in Conner's mind, is unity. In the second essay, entitled "Brothers in Prayer and Worship: The Merton/Aziz Correspondence, An Islamic-Christian Dialogue," Bonnie Thurston changes the course of the volume to address interreligious dialogue. Thurston generally introduces the history and content of the fraternal correspondence between Merton and Abdul Aziz (34 letters, ranging from November 1960 until April 1968). The third essay, "The Poet as Stranger," is David Scott's treatment of a theme that neither of the other authors developed in detail: Merton as stranger. To illustrate Merton's "strangeness," Scott discusses the influences on and content of Merton's poetry (as well as its role in the formation of Merton's faith).
