description: The association of haptoglobin (Hp) with various cancers has been reported and also it has been documented that the Hp phenotypes/genotypes have different functional ability. So, we examined phenotypes/genotypes of Hp in newly diagnosed, untreated non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients and investigated its prognostic value for risk stratification of the cancer. In eighty NMIBC patients and 80 healthy individuals the Hp genotypes and phenotypes were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE), respectively. Besides, the presence of the Hpα1, α2, and β chains in the sera was confirmed by Mass Spectrometry (MS). The frequencies of the 1-1 and 2-2 genotypes/phenotypes were respectively higher and lower in healthy subjects compared to the patients. Our results revealed that the 2-2 genotype/phenotype could increase the risk of NMIBC. There was a positive association between the 2-2 genotype/phenotype with the T category/grade of cancer (p<0.05). The present study implied a strong association between the Hp phenotypes and genotypes with NMIBC. It was found that the 2-2 genotype and phenotype could be a risk factor for NMIBC incidence, as well as, progression. This study introduced Hp genotyping as a possible cost-effective and precise method for prognosis of individuals at the risk of NMIBC.

description: Assessing the consequences of human exploitation at different intensities on ecosystem services is important in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest biome, because it has been drastically reduced, mainly due to the exploitation of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze for wood. The inclusion of A. angustifolia on the list of Brazilian endangered plant species places the harvesting of Araucaria nuts as the most important provisioning service in this type of ecosystem. The aim of this study was to determine the trade-offs related to provisioning, supporting and regulating ecosystem services in the Araucaria Forest at different intensities of nut harvesting, by addressing ecosystem attributes that assure forest sustainability. Six indicators of ecosystem services were evaluated in harvested and non-harvested areas in Brazilian Araucaria Forest fragments. Trade-offs were examined under five harvesting intensities. The supporting services were the most sensitive to the harvesting intensity. The results indicate that a harvesting threshold of between 60% and 85% of the nuts produced guarantees forest sustainability. In addition, areas under higher harvesting intensities provide more short-term benefit services at the local scale that can be included in the formal market.EDITED BY John Parrotta EDITED BY John Parrotta
Peripheral and Central Mechanisms of Limb Position Sense and Body Representation
Creators: name: Tsay, Anthony John
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Neuroscience

description: Each of us holds a unique and specific view of our own body. This arises from sensations, such as the sense of limb position and interoception (awareness of internal sensations of the body), allowing us to make conscious appraisals about our bodies. For instance, when we feel hungry, where our mouth is relative to our hands, and how to get food from the plate into the mouth with our fingers.
 Little is known in regards to how the brain processes sensory information in order to build a coherent central representation of the body. Muscle spindles, considered the main receptor in signalling position and movement sense, are one contributor to the body representation. The aim of the thesis was to explore the mechanisms of position sense and, more broadly, to investigate the sensory information involved in generating the central representation of the body.
 The findings in this thesis provided evidence to support the view that the brain is concerned with the signal difference coming from muscle spindles of antagonist muscles. Further, the brain likely compares this difference between limbs when matching the position of two limbs to determine their relative position (Chapter two, three). The studies utilise a history-dependent property of muscle fibres, thixotropy, to produce a directional bias in perceived limb position, referred to as position error.
 In Chapters four and five, position sense was examined using a two-arm matching task and a single-arm pointing task. It was found that manipulating muscle spindle signals through thixotropic muscle conditioning and vibration did not elicit the same effect on position sense between tasks. Hence, the existence of two distinct position senses was proposed. One sense was concerned with the position of a body party relative to the other, while the other sense was used to determine the location of a body part in extrapersonal space.
 Position sense tasks were also performed by individuals with chronic pain to examine the role of spindle signals in proprioception (Chapter seven) and body representation (Chapter six, eight). While it was shown that position sense appeared unaltered in chronic pain, the participants, who reported severe body image distortions, were more likely to have poor interoceptive awareness compared to those with no or minor distortions. This suggests that pain-related disturbance in body image was associated with awareness of the internal sensations of the body.
 Taken together, this thesis supports the existence of multiple body representations that derive and weigh information from various sensory sources to generate the sense of the body.

description: This document is focused on providing a set of guidelines based on state of the art technologies and creating a framework to allow water-related software tools to increase their interoperability features. It includes a detailed analysis of the set of 22 software tools involved in the 5 Living Labs of the B-WaterSmart project, studying potential interoperability improvements and exploring potential interaction among them. In addition, the concept of Interoperability Maturity levels is introduced, which provides a classification/ranking approach for any tool considering their interoperability features. At the same time, a reference architecture based on FIWARE components is proposed for new development or refactoring processes. Then, to enable the evolution of any tool, the document defines guidelines in a roadmap shape oriented on two main decisions for an interoperable software: the architecture, and the data models to use. Finally, some results in the project implementation phase and some potential interoperability results on Living Labs are shown.

Το διαδραστικό εργαστήριο εντάσσεται στο πλαίσιο του έργου Erasmus + Citizen-enhanced open science in Southeastern Europe Higher Education knowledge hubs που στόχο έχει να ενημερώσει τους συμμετέχοντες/συμμετέχουσες για την Επιστήμη των Πολιτών και τους τρόπους με τους οποίους οι πολίτες μπορούν να παράγουν/διεξάγουν και να αξιοποιήσουν ερευνητικά δεδομένα και αποτελέσματα, προς όφελος, τόσο της κοινωνίας με αναβάθμιση της ποιότητας και παροχής επιστημονικής γνώσης, όσο και για δική τους προσωπική μορφωτική ανάπτυξη. Η πρωτοβουλία αυτή πηγάζει από την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή η οποία με την αξιοποίηση δημόσιων και ευρωπαϊκών πόρων επιδιώκει όπως αυτή η επένδυση έχει άμεσους και ενεργούς αποδέκτες τους ευρωπαίους πολίτες. Η παρουσίαση αφορά το ρόλο των βιβλιοθηκονόμων στην ενίσχυση της έρευνας και της ανοικτής επιστήμης. Θα επιχειρήσει να εστιάσει στις βιβλιοθήκες ως χώρο ενδυνάμωσης της ενεργούς πολιτειότητας (active citizenship) για το κοινό τους. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, θα συζητηθούν μορφές συλλογικής δράσης και συμμετοχικότητας, που έχουν ως απώτερο στόχο την ανοικτή επιστήμη και είναι γνωστές ως δράσεις της Επιστήμης των πολιτών (citizen science). Επίσης θα συζητηθούν οι δυνατότητες να λάβουν οι πολίτες δράση στα κοινά, συμμετέχοντας ενεργά σε ζητήματα τοπικής αλλά και παγκόσμιας κλίμακας (κοινωνικές ανισότητες, κλιματική αλλαγή, απώλεια της βιοποικιλότητας). Στο επίκεντρο θα βρίσκεται ο ρόλος των βιβλιοθηκονόμων, ως συνδετικός κρίκος μεταξύ των πολιτών, των ερευνητών αλλά και των φορέων της κοινωνίας των πολιτών.

 

By highlighting the role of librarians in fostering reseach and open science, this presentation focuses on libraries as hubs of active citizenship enhancement in their communities. In this context, we will explore forms of collective action and citizen engagement that promote open science and that are best known as citizen science. This presentation, which will take the form of an interactive workshop, will foster dialogue on the opportunities for raising citizens who will actively participate in issues of local as well as of international scale (i.e. social inequalities, climate change, biodiversity loss). The role of librarians will be set in the centre of this discussion, as they are seen as the connecting link between citizens, researchers and civil society actors.
New quantitative methods in analyser-based phase contrast X-ray imaging
Creators: name: Vine, David John
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: New quantitative methods are developed for analyser-based phase contrast imaging (ABI) with hard X-rays. In the first instance we show that quantitative ABI may be implemented using an extended incoherent source. Next, we outline how complex Green’s functions may be reconstructed from phase contrast images and we apply this method to reconstruct the thick perfect crystal Green’s function associated with an ABI imaging system. The use of quantitative ABI with incoherent X-ray sources is not widespread and the first set of results pertains to the feasibility of quantitative ABI imaging and phase retrieval using a rotating anode X-ray source. The necessary conditions for observation of ABI phase contrast are deduced from elementary coherence considerations and numerical simulations. We then focus on the problem of extracting quantitative information from ABI images recorded using an extended incoherent X-ray source. The results of an experiment performed at Friedrich-Schiller University, Germany using a rotating anode X-ray source demonstrate the validity of our approach. It is shown that quantitative information may be extracted from such images under quite general and practicable conditions. We then develop a new use for phase contrast imaging systems that allows the Green’s function associated with a linear shift-invariant imaging system to be deduced from two phase contrast images of a known weak object. This new approach is applied to X-ray crystallography where the development of efficient methods of inferring the phase of rocking curves is an important open problem. We show how the complex Green’s function describing Bragg reflection of a coherent scalar X-ray wavefield from a crystal may be recovered from a single image over a wide range of reciprocal space simultaneously. The solution we derive is fast, non-iterative and deterministic. When applied to crystalline structures for which the kinematic scattering approximation is valid, such as thin crystalline films, our technique is shown to solve the famous one-dimensional phase retrieval problem which allows us to directly invert the Green’s function to retrieve the depth-dependent interplanar spacing. Finally we implement our Green’s function retrieval method on experimental data collected at the SPring-8 synchrotron in Hyogo, Japan. In the experiment we recorded analyser-based phase contrast images of a known weak object using a thick perfect silicon analyser crystal. It is then demonstrated that these measurements can be inverted to recover the complex Green’s function associated with the analyser crystal Bragg peak. The reconstructed Green’s function is found to be in good agreement with the prediction of dynamical diffraction theory.

description: In a coherent line of case law, developed in particular in pressetext Nachrichtenagentur GmbH, the CJEU has recognised that the awarding authorities can change, under certain conditions, existing public contracts. The principles developed by this case law have been eventually incorporated in the 2014 Public Procurement package (Directives 2014/23, 2014/24 and 2014/25). The main principle is that commonly referred to as the substantial modification test. When a potential change is so relevant that it would amount to a new award, such a change may not be implemented without first retendering the contract. In its Finn Frogne decision (judgment of 7 September 2016, case C-549/14, Finn Frogne A/S v. Rigspolitiet ved Center for Beredskabskommunikation), the Court of Justice has further developed this case law, examining a type of situation which had not, until now, been the object of specific attention by the Court: namely situations of unforeseen events that lead to modifications to the contract which are not intended to change the way in which the contract is performed, but rather, are designed to "cut losses" of the parties in the context of ending existing contracts. A modification which, as the Court acknowledges, can be described as an agreement with a dispute settlement component). Along with some useful contributions, the judgment leaves some doubts and concerns on the adequateness of the Court's approach.

description: Since sound film was introduced around the 20's decade it has become a fundamental element to transmit information to the audience. The sound design process has come a long way and have reached a point where it is considered a complex task that implies different fields of knowledge (i.e. technical, artistic, psychological, physical, etc.). Sound designers, DSP Engineers, musicians, etc., design and make use of several tools that allow them to create a given sound scenario not inly for film, but also for TV, Video-Games, Art Installations, and media. These sound scenarios can be a recreation of a real sound space or can be the representation of the idea of how a sound space or an element in it could sound. This thesis explores voice synthesis techniques from sounds of nature and voice recordings as a mean to create credible utterances that preserve the characteristics of the sound of nature while maintaining the intelligibility of the message. We also explore timbre descriptors and the phonetic transcription of the chosen sentences to characterise the sounds of nature and voice sounds in order to generate the utterances automatically.

Message from the Director, Professor Mark Gahegan:
This has been a rather busy year. The Centre for eResearch has grown during 2016 to support four core services across the University, funded via the University Strategic Projects Office (USPO).
These services are:
 1. Research data management, including sharing ‘working’ data, publishing and discovering data, data management planning and training.
 2. Virtual compute platform services, including research virtual machines, the Docker/Rancher and Jupyter Notebooks.
 3. Research visualisation and analytics, offering a suite of visualisation platforms including a tiled display, large 3D display, Vive, HoloLens and zSpace virtual reality platforms. We now also offer a deep learning appliance with 2 NVIDIA 1080 GPUs.
 4. The Research Hub, which is a capstone project that pools much of the knowledge about the many IT services that researchers use into an advisory: how to access them, how to get support, how they fit into the research lifecycle.

We have also increased our special projects work, most specifically with the School of Population Health, with whom we have been building Mobile apps, creating mapping and analytics tools, running group knowledge elicitation workshops and delivering a web portal to support statistical analysis for the Growing Up in New Zealand project.

During 2017, we plan to create another core service around digital research skills development to meet the increasing demand from our research community for more specialist training. We will also be offering the ResBaz (Research Bazaar) event again over the summer, and Winter Bootcamp for those who want to gain a number of proficiencies in one short burst.

The flipped learning pedagogy, an innovative strategy to enhance L2 motivation and employability skills
Creators: name: Mbaye, Mame Bassi
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2024

description: The West African Higher Education (HE) sector, mainly in the Francophone area, is currently facing pedagogical quality issues affecting learner motivation, engagement, and acquisition of skills that meet the demand of a 21st-century labour market and society as a whole. This is particularly true in the L2 field traditionally dominated by teacher-centred educational philosophies and passive pedagogical approaches. Moreover, from the 1880s to the 1990s there was a succession of L2 theories and approaches, but since the 1990s they have lost popularity and left the L2 field without particular methods and theories. This thesis involves the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, based on participants’ perception and classroom behaviours, to generate a theory (mixed-methods grounded theory). The research aims to close that gap by finding out whether and how the use of flipped-learning (FL), an innovative pedagogical approach, could possibly promote learner satisfaction in terms of motivational and ES development strategies. To answer this question, an online survey was conducted using a quantitative and a qualitative questionnaire administered to 35 L2 learner participants in a flipped Business English course. On top of the survey, four open-ended classroom observations (COs) involving 49 students, and three in-depth focus group (FG) interviews involving 13 students were conducted to gather further qualitative data for triangulation and results validation purposes. This course was part of the Programme Grande Ecole (PGE)1 Business Administration undergraduate and postgraduate degree programme in Centre Africain d’Etudes Supérieures en Gestion (CESAG), a West African Economic Monetary Union (WAEMU) Business School headquartered in Dakar, Senegal. The respondents from the PGE department, who voluntarily participated in the data collection process were selected through a non-probability purposive sampling technique. To analyse the data, a descriptive statistical analysis (μ and Pearson r) together with a grounded theory coding technique were utilised. The findings suggest that the FL approach has a noticeable positive impact on learner motivation, engagement, ES, and overall satisfaction, which is in line with the current literature. On this basis, the study concludes that the FL pedagogy has the potential to significantly impact learner motivation, engagement, acquisition of ES, and overall personal development, provided that the FL approach is based on the humanistic learning theory.

description: Патогенез красного плоского лишая до сих пор не полностью изучен, но существуют несколько теорий, объясняющих его развитие. Одна из основных теорий предполагает аутоиммунный характер заболевания, при котором иммунная система организма атакует собственные клетки кожи и слизистых оболочек. Возможная роль в этом процессе принадлежит активации Т-лимфоцитов, которые провоцируют воспалительные реакции. Также обсуждается вклад генетических факторов, вирусных инфекций и неврологических расстройств. Все эти теории подчеркивают сложность и многофакторность механизмов развития красного плоского лишая.

description: The active vitamin D metabolites 25-OH−D and 1α,25-(OH)2−D play an essential role in controlling several cellular processes in the human body and are potentially effective in the treatment of several diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The microbial synthesis of vitamin D2 (VD2) and vitamin D3 (VD3) metabolites has emerged as a suitable alternative to established complex chemical syntheses. In this study, a novel strain, Kutzneria albida, with the ability to form 25-OH−D2 and 25-OH−D3 was identified. To further improve the conversion of the poorly soluble substrates, several solubilizers were tested. 100-fold higher product concentrations of 25-OH−D3 and tenfold higher concentrations of 25-OH−D2 after addition of 5 % (w/v) 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (2-HPβCD) were reached. Besides the single-hydroxylation products, the human double-hydroxylation products 1,25-(OH)2−D2 and 1,25-(OH)2−D3 and various other potential single- and double-hydroxylation products were detected. Thus, K. albida represents a promising strain for the biotechnological production of VD2 and VD3 metabolites.

description: The neighborhood effect, a pivotal element within the realm of Geographic Cellular Automata (GCA) modeling, has garnered significant attention in research. However, no research has yet investigated GCA modeling based on varying neighborhood sensitivity for different land use types. In this study, we sought to bridge this gap by integrating the First Law of Geography with diverse sensitivities of different land use types, thus introducing a novel approach termed Adaptive Spatially Heterogeneous Neighborhood (ASHN) for GCA modeling. By applying this innovative framework to three regions, namely Beijing, Wuhan, and the Pearl River Delta, we elucidated the implementation process and conducted comprehensive land use change simulations. The calibration period spanned from 2000 to 2010, followed by the validation period from 2010 to 2020. The results demonstrated that the ASHN-GCA model outperformed both the Adaptive Homogeneous Neighborhood Geographic Cellular Automata (AHN-GCA) model and the Homogeneous Neighborhood Geographic Cellular Automata (HN-GCA) model, yielding superior Overall Accuracy (OA), kappa, fuzzy kappa, and Figure of Merit (FoM) scores. Furthermore, the ASHN-GCA model provided more nuanced and detailed insights into landscape patterns, further highlighting its efficacy and potential for advancing GCA modeling in land use dynamics.

description: Public’s rational flood mitigation behaviors depend on accurate perception of flood risks. The use of natural language for flood risk perception is an effective approach, and it is critical to ensure the accuracy and comprehensibility of the flood information provided by the system in natural language dialogues. This study presents a framework for large language model (LLM) that is constrained by flood knowledge and can interact with geographic information system (GIS), aimed at enhancing the public’s perception of flood risks. We tested the performance of LLM within this framework and the results demonstrate that LLM can generate accurate information about floods under the constraints of entities and relationships in the knowledge graph, and interact with GIS to produce personalized knowledge through real-time coding. Furthermore, we conducted flood risk perception experiments on users with different cognitive levels. The results indicate that using natural language dialogue can narrow the differences brought about by cognitive levels, allowing the public to equally access knowledge related to flood events.

description: The use of redox non-innocent ligands to imbue third-row transition metal complexes with properties emulating those of their fourth- and fifth-row congeners has become an attractive strategy to overcome the limited resources and environmental implications associated with the latter class of metals. The tetra-imine macrocycle, TIM (2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraza-cyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene), which bears two sets of potentially redox-active α-diimine units, therefore, has been targeted as the ligand scaffold to investigate the structural and electronic properties of various organocobalt(III) complexes within this work.First, the reaction between trans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]+ and terminal alkynes (HC2Ar), in the presence of triethylamine, yielded a series of mono- and bis-alkynyl CoIII(TIM) complexes, as discussed in Chapters 1 and 2. Interestingly, the use of electron-rich terminal alkynes (HC2Y) favors the formation of products featuring a 1-aza-2-cobalt-cyclobutene unit. As detailed in Chapter 3, the trans-[Co(TIM')(HC=C)Y)Cl]+-type complexes (TIM' = the resulting derivative of TIM) were prepared through the addition of HC2Y to trans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]+ in the presence of KOH. The unprecedented involvement of the TIM ligand was verified crystallographically and through 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies. In Chapter 4, the properties and influences of the aza-cobalt-cyclobutene are further explored through UV-vis spectroelectrochemical studies on the constitutional isomers, trans-[Co(TIM)(C2Fc)Cl]+ and trans-[Co(TIM')((HC=C)Fc)Cl]+ (Fc = ferrocene). Moreover, the reactivity of the CoIII center in the latter complexes is investigated via the reaction with KCN and AgOTf in CH3CN.In Chapter 5, a new facet of CoIII(TIM) reactivity is revealed through the reaction between trans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]+ and HC2Ar, in the presence of NaBH4. The reaction generates both mono- and bis-alkenyl complexes along with products containing a 1-aza-2-cobalt-cyclopropane unit. The formation of the former class of products is postulated to proceed through a transient H-CoIII(TIM) intermediate, while the latter is believed to be accessed upon the reduction of an imine moiety within the TIM ligand. Moreover, the generation of the three-membered ring showcases another example of the non-innocent nature of the TIM ligand.

description: Verhaftungen und drakonische Urteile gegen Oppositionelle auch nach dem Sturz der sogenannten "Viererbande" zeigen, dass auch die neue chinesische Führung nicht gewillt ist, Forderungen nach mehr politischen Freiheiten und mehr Demokratie zu entsprechen. Auch unter Hua Kuo-feng und Teng Hsiao-p'ing scheint eine sozialistische Opposition unerwünscht. Doch seit dem Machtwechsel im Oktober letzten Jahres sind außerhalb als auch innerhalb (!) der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas die Rufe nach der Gewährung und Garantierung von Menschenrechten lauter geworden. Angesichts dieser wachsenden Forderungen sah sich der chinesische Außenminister Huang Hua Ende Juli dieses Jahres veranlasst, vor hohen Funktionären den Standpunkt der Parteiführung zu den Menschenrechten ausführlich zu erläutern. Die Menschenrechtsdiskussion scheint auch in der Volksrepublik China zu einem Problem für die Kommunistische Partei zu werden.

description: The boundaries of feeling and thinking, inside and outside, own and alien, psyche and society are subverted in Rückkehr nach Reims. The sociological prism is the aesthetic trick of this fictional autobiography. Therefore it comes to a playful and creative crossing of the boundaries between the psychic inner world and the social outer world. It is an autobiography of the social unconscious, which should be made aware by the retrospective sociological analysis of emotional resistances. The inner world is in this way masked discursively. The sociologized psyche appears as the Außenwelt der Innenwelt der Außenwelt. The text investigates whether this form of autofiction is a borderline case of resistant emotional worlds and how far it can show the (pseudo-) autobiographical material as an exemplary understanding of a general reflection on injustices.

description: The main research objective of this thesis is to analyze the Twitter activity related to the hashtag “Kashmir” over a period of 5 months (August – December 2019). The initial corpus collected contained 30K tweets and a subset of the 1000 most retweeted tweets was used for further analysis using qualitative methods (content analysis). The analysis identified three main thematic dimensions: 1) Pakistani Nationalist Narrative, 2) Indian Nationalist Narrative, and the 3) Humanitarian Narrative. These narratives are being discussed in detail and specific tweets are mentioned to support further the arguments used. The main conclusion from this study is that social media played a significant role in the internationalization of the Kashmir conflict giving visibility to the emerged humanitarian crisis.

description: 1. In a previous study, a laying-related single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Record-106975 (A–G) was found in the intron of Membrane-associated Guanylate Kinase with Inverted Domain Structure-1 (MAGI1) gene by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. This study was performed to further identify the function of MAGI1 on laying performance in Yangzhou geese. 2. The complete MAGI1 cDNA sequence was cloned from the ovary of the Yangzhou goose. A total of 4 alternative splice variants were identified, and the characterisation of their nucleic acid and amino acid (AA) sequences were analysed. The AA sequence of goose MAGI1 was highly conserved with other avian species. 3. MAGI1 was ubiquitously expressed in 11 tested tissues, with greater amounts of mRNA in the granulosa cell layer and ovary. GG (n = 14) and GA (n = 6) genotypes of SNP Record-106975 showed significantly lower MAGI1 mRNA levels than those of the AA genotype. 4. Over-expression and knockdown experiments revealed that MAGI1 mRNA expression was associated with caspase-3 mRNA levels in granulosa cells, and may play a role in regulating apoptosis of granulosa cells.

description: Der Beitrag fragt nach Praktiken der Grenzbearbeitung einer diversitätsorientierten Sozialen Arbeit und verschränkt dabei eine empirische Analyse mit der Fragestellung nach den Sichtweisen junger Menschen auf alltägliche Widerstandspraktiken. Aus einer soziologischen Perspektive wird eine Begriffsbestimmung zu alltäglichen Widerstandspraktiken angelegt und in den Konzepten Normalismus und Heteronormativität produktiv gemacht. Die empirischen Analysen zu Widerstandspraxen erfolgen in Form einer methodischen Triangulation aus Einzelinterviews mit als trans* positionierten Menschen und Visuals eines sozialraumorientierten Photovoice-Projekts zu Diversität auf Instagram. Der Beitrag liefert damit eine differenzierte Betrachtung von Widerstand, indem er ihn in alltäglichen Praktiken verortet. Anknüpfend an diese Analysen endet der Beitrag mit Hinweisen zu widerständigen Praktiken der Grenzbearbeitung für eine diversitätssensible Soziale Arbeit.
Storage as a way to grammaticalization
Creators: name: Rostila, Jouni
Publisher: name: Constructions
Year: 2022

description: This paper explores the possible contribution of various types of storage to grammaticalization processes, and the description of such processes by means of Construction Grammar(s) (CxG). The grammaticalization processes of French pas and certain complex adpositions in German and Finnish serve to illustrate that storage can background the literal meaning of elements like pas, thus enabling the constructions containing them to grammaticalize. A further form of storage, the emergence of a productive template on the basis of high type frequency, may in turn stand behind their grammaticalization. Two further assumptions about language use are also exploited in the explanation of grammaticalization: the possibility of processing complex units holistically and a human urge to interpret recurring forms as signs. Since CxG is based on stored units, it can serve to explicate the role of storage in grammaticalization, while a grammaticalization perspective can help in uncovering the origin of different types of constructions assumed within CxG. The CxG analysis of the grammaticalization processes examined suggests that in terms of CxG, grammaticalization amounts to the emergence of partially schematic, complex constructions, while further grammaticalization deletes semantic constraints on their schematic parts.
