 The ethnolinguistic cure: Endangered languages, well-being and health Justyna Olko
 University of Warsaw Abstract: Over the last two decades a growing body of research has revealed a strong correlation between Indigenous language loss and deterioration in speakers’ health. However, the retention of heritage languages also appears to play a protective role in addressing health crises and lowering behavioral risk factors. In this talk, I will present the results of multidisciplinary team research carried out within a Language as a Cure project in a number of minority/Indigenous communities in Poland, Mexico and Salvador, representing different stages of language endangerment and loss. Our research reveals that in different groups the use of ethnic minority/Indigenous languages positively relates to their speakers’ well-being, taking into account the role of positive emotions experienced when speaking. These findings are also reflected in the results of a broad online survey carried out with participation of these minority communities during the pandemic, suggesting that minority/Indigenous languages play beneficial and protective roles during health crises. Importantly, this relationship is significant also (or even especially) in communities strongly affected by language loss and assimilation. This knowledge could positively influence the empowerment of speakers of endangered languages and help shaping more efficient strategies for language revitalization aimed at reinforcing not only the language use but also the well-being, health and socio-economic performance of their users.

description: Drylands typically have strong seasonal variation in rainfall and primary productivity. This study examines the effects of seasonal change in grass-derived resource availability on the base of the food chain of a mammalian predator. Seasonal changes in live grass cover were measured in two vegetation types at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico, USA. Non-invasive genetic sampling of scat was used to identify individuals in the local coyote (Canis latrans) population. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of hair removed from scats of 45 different coyotes was used to assess seasonal variation in the diet of mammalian coyote prey that came from C4 grasses. Live grass cover increased from the spring to the summer and fall; contribution of C4 grasses to the diet of mammalian coyote prey increased from the summer to the fall and was higher in grassland areas. There were significant differences in the seasonal patterns in the prey diet between grassland and shrubland areas.

description: Seminario I, presentado en el postgrado de Ecología del Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas (IVIC) en Julio de 2003. Resumen: In the present, the acceleration of habitat destruction through human activities is dramatically changing the environment and threatening biodiversity worldwide. The main motivation to this work is to find a way to predict, how the process of habitat fragmentation alters the diversity of natural communities. First, I formulate an appropriate context, that will be useful to develop a theoretical framework for this problem. I search for a coherent concept of community, and a spatial framework to place this community (the habitat). Then, I use an abstraction of the complex process of fragmentation to define three phases dominated by different fragmentation effects. This is the general framework, in which I present the models reviewed. The first group of models are related to the question of how many species remains after habitat is loss or fragments are formed in one time step. This models predict random and deterministic species extinction during and after the process of fragmentation. The second group of models considered, intend to predict the effects of changing landscape structure after fragmentation. These landscape models document positive and negative effects of landscape composition and physiognomy. A third group of models are concerned with the persistence of species and communities in a fragmented habitat. They explore local and regional community dynamics in relation to patch size and patch isolation. The models already available make important predictions about the fate of communities in fragmented habitats. Communities diversity can diminish at every stage of the fragmentation process by different mechanism, but species don’t dissappear at random. In the worst scenario, communities in fragmented habitats might be dominated by few generalist invaders and poor competitors.

description: This study investigates the effect of the kind of binder on thermal, hygric and mechanical properties of hemp composites. Three binders are considered: a formulated hydraulic lime based binder, a prompt cement based binder and a peculiar bio-polymer: the Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA). The binder is coupled with hemp shiv to produce biocomposite. For each kind of binder, the specific manufacturing method is presented and discussed. The thermal properties of produced biocomposite are measured with a hot disk method at 23°C, 50%RH. The hygric characterization is based on the measurement of Moisture Buffer Value at 23°C. The mechanical behavior of composite under compression is analyzed. Thermal conductivities range from 0.08 to 0.16 W/(m.K), this allows to use these composites without added insulation layer. Following the classification given in the Nordtest report, the studied materials are very good or excellent hygric regulator. Performances are slightly higher with mineral binders. However, the compressive strength obtained with PLA binder are much higher than the ones with mineral binders.

description: This thesis examines and refines the concept of Democratic Public Ownership, which has emerged in both theory and practice in recent years as neoliberalism continues to mutate and falter. While increasingly referenced and discussed in academic, policy, and movement settings, Democratic Public Ownership currently lacks conceptual clarity, coherence, and distinctiveness, and could benefit from heightened scrutiny and development. This thesis reviews the modern literature on Democratic Public Ownership, investigating its connections to, and impact on, political economic shifts and theorizing since the turn of the 21st century (such as the global remunicipalization movement); identifies and analyzes numerous relevant historical and contemporary theories, experiments, and prototypes ranging from the early days of the industrial revolution to the Great Financial Crisis of the late 2000s; locates the concept of Democratic Public Ownership historically and ideologically as part of the broader effort to advance and implement systemically transformative visions of economic democracy, especially as it relates to moving beyond historical and contemporary versions of capitalism; and presents a refined and coherent concept consisting of a novel definition, numerous revised and new principles, and a suggested theory of change. This thesis significantly advances the literature and discourse on Democratic Public Ownership, economic democracy, and democratic participation in the economy more broadly, opening new research directions and serving as an important theoretical steppingstone.

description: La Iniciativa para el Mapeo de la Diversidad Neotropical, NeoMapas, propone una estrategia para el inventario y seguimiento de taxones indicadores a nivel nacional y regional, y para la generación de mapas de distribución, abundancia, riqueza y diversidad de especies. Inicialmente el trabajo de NeoMapas se ha concentrado en tres taxones animales de Venezuela (las mariposas diurnas, los escarabajos coprófagos y las aves).
NeoMapas propone resolver simultáneamente el problema de tiempo y costo asociado a evaluaciones de cobertura geográfica extensa, mientras fortalece la capacidad técnica local para llevarlas a cabo. Para lograr esto es necesario cumplir con un diseño y protocolo de campo científicamente riguroso, pero sencillo de implementar y repetir en otras regiones, y optimizar la inversión de recursos para lograr una cobertura geográfica completa en un corto periodo de tiempo. Los datos generados podrán ser contrastados entre regiones y, mediante la aplicación de métodos predictivos, serán utilizados para generar mapas a gran escala de la distribución y abundancia de los taxones seleccionados.

NeoMapas tiene cinco características distintivas:
1. Utiliza un diseño de muestreo estratificado y técnicas de interpolación espacial para minimizar el esfuerzo de muestreo necesario para generar mapas de distribución y abundancia para taxones seleccionados a nivel nacional y regional,
2. Utiliza un esfuerzo de muestreo calibrado que permitir ́ comparar los datos generales con los de otras regiones tropicales,
3. Se fundamenta en grupos de trabajo que combinan el esfuerzo de estudiantes, voluntarios y expertos nacionales y extranjeros, de tal forma que permite desarrollar y fortalecer la capacidad técnica nacional,
4. Se basa en métodos simples y rigurosos que pueden ser reproducidos en otras regiones,
5. Es rápido y eficiente, pues permite generar datos suficientes para un país del tamaño de Venezuela en un periodo de seis meses a un año. Después de 10 años de continuos esfuerzos podemos reportar ahora las actividades, productos y resultados obtenidos con la ayuda de muchos colaboradores.

description: The impact of buildings on the environment and on the health of the inhabitants are priority issues nowadays. For many reasons, the demand for building products made of materials such as earth and bio-based materials is increasing. Under certain conditions, mold growth can be observed on the surface of such materials, which raises many questions about their use in buildings. In the framework of the “BIOTERRA” ANR project, the aim of the study was to characterize an earth based material incorporating natural fibers from a biotic point of view. Microorganism sampling methods intended for raw materials and cylindrical specimens were optimized, and the microflora profile of these materials was then obtained. The role of the dry step concerning the presence of molds was also studied. The results showed that raw materials and manufactured specimens contained mainly Bacillus sp., Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. Comparisons among samples taken on the surface or the inside of the dried specimens revealed the survival of some molds despite thermal treatment. Those molds were then able to grow on specimens in high humidity conditions. Sampling methods developed here could also be used to identify the microflora of existing earthen buildings.

description: Aim Predicted distributions of invasive species are often not congruent between their realized native and introduced ranges, but the reasons for this are rarely investigated empirically. We tested for niche shift in an invasive species using a simple framework combining environmental niche models (ENMs) and niche-limiting thermal tolerance traits. Location Australia and South Africa. Methods The red-legged earth mite, Halotydeus destructor, native to South Africa, is a major agricultural pest in Australia and has expanded its range to areas not predictable from its native range in the last 40 years. Revisiting recently constructed ENMs for H. destructor, we select populations in both native and invasive ranges that appear to occupy different niches. We characterize thermal tolerance traits and test for acclimation patterns of cold tolerance of these H. destructor populations to test for niche shifts. Results Australian populations had an increased upper thermal threshold for movement and were able to recover from cold stress more rapidly than South African populations. Australian populations also differed in trait means from the likely source population in South Africa. Acclimation patterns were conserved across ranges for most populations, with 10 °C acclimation lowering the onset of and recovery from cold tolerance and 15 °C raising them when compared with field-acclimated populations. Main conclusions These results support the prediction, based on ENMs, that H. destructor may have undergone a niche shift by adapting to environmental conditions in Australia. The increase in thermal resistance has implications for how this invasive species will respond to future climate change.

description: Previous research on inter-individual variation in the calls of corvids has largely been restricted to single call types, such as alarm or contact calls, and has rarely considered the effects of age on call structure. This study explores structural variation in a contextually diverse set of ‘caw’ calls of the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), including alarm, foraging recruitment and territorial calls, and searches for structural features that may be associated with behavioural context and caller sex, age and identity. Automated pitch detection algorithms are used to generate 23 pitch-related and spectral parameters for a collection of caws from 18 wild, marked crows. Using principal component analysis and mixed models, we identify independent axes of acoustic variation associated with behavioural context and with caller sex, respectively. We also have moderate success predicting caller sex and identity from call structure. However, we do not find significant acoustic variation with respect to caller age.

description: Our aim is to help build a machine that can reduce the possibility of mishaps in navigation to zero. For that devise a new system of numbers, in which the real numbers are represented on the y-axis and complex numbers on the x-axis. Inside such a system, we incorporate the equivalent Ideal Fuzzy Logic that can be used by the machine to predict and avoid mishaps. Natural processes are vastly emergent phenomena and each new result is always the source of new emergence. To cope with nonlinear control problems, binary logic is no longer sufficient. What we need is an ideal Fuzzy Logic that not only can process complex numbers with utmost efficiency, but also ‘thinks’ in terms of complex numbers. Such a system also needs to be as simple as possible for us and for machines to work with. A perfectly efficient navigation system will be able to receive inputs that have all sets of possible values. These values may be real or imaginary. Such a system will be particularly efficient in dealing with imaginary numbers and will be able to reduce the probability of a mishap to zero.

description: Reaction of Fe3(CO)12 and Ph2PH in the presence of Et3N in THF at 0 °C immediately forms Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)(μ-OH) (1), Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)(μ-k2O,P-OPPh2) (2), and Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)2 (3) in yields of 25, 14, and 19%, respectively. Experiments confirm that Et3N shortens the reaction time. The absence of O2 hinders the formation of 2. The presence of H2O can increase the yield of 1. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography and the complexes have been completely characterized by EA, IR, and 1H, 13C, 31P NMR. Electrochemical studies reveal that they exhibit catalytic H2-producing activities.

description: Here we provide the source code and required data sets to reproduce all results related to "Representing chemical history in ozone time-series predictions - a model experiment study building on the MLAir (v1.5) deep learning framework" by F. Kleinert, L. H. Leufen, A. Lupascu, T. Butler and M. G. Schultz, submitted to GMD(D) (gmd-2022-122). This record contains the MLAir source code, reference (competitor) experiments and forecasts. As we could not make the full 4D (400x360x35) hourly wrf-chem model fields available for technical reasons, we decided to upload the subdomain of interest only. WRF-Chem model fields (YYYY-MM) are available from: 2009-01 to 2009-04: https://doi.org/10.34730/c799f04beb644e38a575fa20c2dd8d40 2009-05 to 2009-08: https://doi.org/10.34730/d5f34ae6a8e34d4c8ac33f75b993e8a9 2009-09 to 2009-12: https://doi.org/10.34730/a423ec9003194209989726a95a1a490c 2010-01 to 2010-03: https://doi.org/10.34730/718262bd2c894fd6aadce19a08040f69 This record contains the MLAir (v1.5) python framework used to conduct the experiments (mlair.tar.gz). The version is also available from the projects gitlab repository (tag Kleinert_etal_2022_initial_submission): https://gitlab.jsc.fz-juelich.de/esde/machine-learning/mlair/-/tree/Kleinert_etal_2022_initial_submission Additionally, this record contains the competitor experiment directories (trained neural networks, input & target data, etc.) and our competitor models' forecasts. After extraction, you can use this forecast path as an external parameter in `run_wrf_dh_sector3.py`. Thus, MLAir can use the reference forecasts to calculate skill scores etc. The `coords.nc` file contains the time-independent coordinates related to the model fields linked above and can be linked to MLAir by specifying the absolut path within the `run_wrf_dh_sector3.py` runscript (external_coords_file=coords.nc).
Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States: Restoring Cultural Knowledge, Protecting Environments, and Regaining Health (Devon A. Mihesuah and Elizabeth Hoover, eds)
Creators: name: Wolf, Katie
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: This book review examines Devon A. Mihesuah's and Elizabeth Hoover's Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States: Restoring Cultural Knowledge, Protecting Environments, and Regaining Health. Mihesuah's and Hoover's book highlights movements in the US that combat the health decline colonial food practices have brought upon Indigenous communities. Similarly, the authors recognize the harmful ways that the food industry, as a part of the neoliberal economic system, is wasteful and harming the environment--both at a local and global level. This text sheds light on important issues and ways that Indigenous communities are challenging the food industry by aiming to restore Indigenous food practices and food sovereignty.

title: How teachers reflect on textbook materials and how they utilise them
Creators: name: Stará, Jana
name: Krčmářová, Tereza
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2014

description: This paper provides an overview of research findings and information in the area of teachers’ use of textbook materials. Furthermore, it presents the results of qualitative research dedicated to this issue, which was carried out with three Czech primary school teachers. These results were acquired on the basis of direct lesson observations as well as analysis of video recordings and interviews. The results show what innovative textbook materials can bring to teachers, who is open to thinking about subject matter and its didactic transformations, and what they can bring to those who are less open or less willing to dedicate their time and attention to this reflection. The results also offer some findings regarding what textbook materials should look like if these groups of teachers are to work with them effectively. The selected teachers see themselves as the ones who decide on instructional content although they base their decisions on textbook materials. Interpretation of the methodology suggested in textbook materials and their subsequent utilisation depends largely on the teaching approach adopted by individual teachers. All teachers agreed that textbook materials should be concise and should contain inspirational methodology ideas. Not all of them wanted to use textbooks as a source of their own learning.

title: The Nanjing Massacre: official remembrance and history textbooks in the People’s Republic of China
Creators: name: Crawford, Keith
name: Jingjing, Shen
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2007

description: This paper analyses the manner in which the 1937 Nanjing massacre is presented and interpreted in Chinese history textbooks and teacher guides for high school pupils. The paper explores the manner in which the construction of a narrative discourse of historical memory in China is powerfully linked to contemporary notions of identity, patriotic and nationalist education in a manner that reflects core ideological, political and social challenges inside China and in its relationships with its Asian neighbours. The paper discusses the notion of school textbooks as ideological discourses and analyses the pedagogical discourse of Chinese history education, this is placed within a context framed by the political and ideological construction of history education in China and the manner in which recent history teaching and public opinion in the People’s Republic has reacted to the publication of a history school textbook in Japan that questions claims of a massacre

title: Teachers’ Guides in Textbook Research
Creators: name: Skjelbred, Dagrun
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2007

description: Texts that accompany students’ textbooks, as teachers’ guides and different types of handbooks, are common in the field of education. In my country, Norway, it is ”a must” to produce texts that address the teachers about the ways in which the textbooks could – or should- be used. It is unthinkable that any publisher would construct a textbook concept, that did not include a guide. It seems that many teachers feel the need for such guides, and that they are in fact a part of the textbook genre. There might be some national and cultural differences in content, in shape, in ways of writing these texts, and it could be an interesting question to ask what these possible variations consist of, and what issues they are due to. Anyway, these guiding texts are important in many countries, and well worth studying
