title: Research on the Textbook Publishing Industry in the United States of America
Creators: name: Watt, Michael G.
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2007

description: The purpose of this article is to review published research literature about the publishing process and the roles of participants in this process in the textbook publishing industry in the USA. The contents of books, collected works, reports and journal articles were analysed, and summaries of the contents were then organised chronologically to present a commentary on this topic. The results showed that the main facets of the textbook publishing industry arose in the early nineteenth century. Several surveys conducted in association with a report on textbooks issued in 1931 indicated that procedures for selecting authors, their role, and the methods they applied were well defined at this time. Commentators reporting on textbook publishing in the 1950s and 1960s depicted an industry in which the publishing process and the roles of authors, editors and sales people had been institutionalised for many years. However, the textbook publishing industry of that time was faced by the challenges of integrating new technologies in printing and new media for presenting materials. Commentators writing in the 1990s were more concerned to analyse changes in the textbook publishing industry occurring in response to globalisation. Mergers and takeovers, resulting from reductions in profit margins faced by many textbook publishing companies, led to the incorporation of textbook publishing activities within multinational media, communications and entertainment conglomerates, whilst small emerging textbook publishing companies filled a vacuum in the marketplace as niche publishers.

description: Long ago, in an America not so far from us, really, captivity narratives were all the rage. A captivity narrative is the harrowing tale of someone captured by the Indians, someone who had to—gasp—live with the savages, and suffer all the mistreatment and indignities. Then, come the sixties and seventies, the spiritual descendants of all those captivity survivors started wearing beads and vests and headbands, and growing their hair out, and resisting the government. Right around then, we got Star Wars.

title: Inclusive Education and the cultural representation of disability and Disabled people within the English Education System: a critical examination of the mediating influence of primary school textbooks
Creators: name: Hodkinson, Alan
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2007

description: This paper examines the picture of disability and Disabled people portrayed within the textbooks presented to primary-aged pupils in English schools. The study’s analysis of the picture of disability was based upon a sample of 96 textbooks which were published between 1974 and 2005. The study’s findings denote the sample textbooks contained a limited construct of disability. The paper argues that this construct suggests that there is a cultural dominance of non-disabled people within the textbooks commonly presented to primaryaged children. The paper’s conclusion suggests that if we are to move forward with the important educational policy of inclusion, then, textbooks must be sensitively constructed. It is contended that textbooks should seek to support a culturally responsive pedagogy that observes Disabled people being more prominently and more positively located within the materials that support the teaching and learning of pupils.

description: Information Power Ltd (IPL) were contracted to undertake a data collection exercise during March and April 2014 in order to obtain real data for Jisc Collections to input into their modelling tool for publisher negotiations for Total Cost of Ownership (TCoO). During the data collection exercise a number of issues arose which were felt significant enough for Jisc and Jisc Collections to ask for further feedback on the data collection and the processes. It must be remembered that the briefing for this specific project was data collection for the sole purpose of Jisc Collections negotiations, but the comments on the report extend beyond that specific data requirement. This report gives brief details of the main issues that arose regarding both the data collection and comments from HEIs participating in the project. The authors of the report are Hazel Woodward and Helen Henderson.

Laughing in the Dark: Weird Survivance in the Works of Bunky Echo-Hawk and Daniel McCoy Jr.
Creators: name: Baudemann, Kristina
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: “Laughing in the Dark” is a bold leap in the research on the Vizenorian paradigm of survivance. Considering the surreal, strange, outraging and simply weird elements in the artwork of Bunky Echo-Hawk and Daniel McCoy Jr. this article introduces weird survivance to encourage readers to remember that survivance is not exclusively produced by positive and pleasing images. On the contrary, it can also be effected through dark humor – a kind of dark laughter that is spurred by confrontation with the weirdness of our reality, that comes from a place of sadness, frustration or even disgust, and that spurs renewal and resistance. Rather than an attack on the word survivance that holds such a prominent position in Indigenous literary studies, “Laughing in the Dark” begs for nuance, and for the continued playful exploration of critical categories in the spirit of transmotion.

Indian Made: Museum Valuation of American Indian Identity through Aesthetics
Creators: name: Cottrell, Courtney
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: Ethnographic museums create a taste for American Indian art through the acquisition of art with a narrow type, scope, and preference for particular Native artists. The taste created by museums is than communicated to their publics through the valuation of contemporary art and presenting the art through “rhetorics of value” (Kratz 22). I argue these “rhetorics of value” are creating rigid standards for what constitutes American Indian art worthy for museum display that excludes traditional art forms and contemporary motifs deemed important by tribal nations and individual American Indian artists. This article traces the process of creating contemporary American Indian art taste that valuates not only the art itself, but also the artist’s Native identity when considering good Indian art. I also track how this taste is imparted to museum publics and finally how these processes are exclusionary through a discussion of a museum passing on a truly unique piece of contemporary American Indian art in favor for a standard piece of beadwork. It concludes by exploring how tribal museums are employing tribal sovereign authority and citizenship standards to determine what art to acquire. Though reliant on citizenship standards, the art the Oneida Nation Museum (ONM) is acquiring is more inclusive than its ethnographic museum counterparts in terms of medium, motif, and message. And it is to tribal museums like the ONM, that ethnographic museums should be looking to for inspiration of what art to acquire to broaden the taste for American Indian art.

title: Reconsidering considerate textbooks
Creators: name: Wikman, Tom
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2009

description: How could results from research on learning within science education be transferred to the development of textbooks? With this question as starting point in the article five maxims for good learning texts are suggested. The maxim of optimizing emphasizes the need to meet the reader at his/her level of understanding. The maxim of structure underlines that texts should be well structured. Although this can be considered especially important as learners in school settings mostly approach new areas as novices, some paradoxes deepen the maxim. The activity of readers could be maintained by signals provided by the authors (the maxim of metadiscourse). Extensive research within science education shows problems in learning core concepts, like gravitation, photosynthesis and the movement of light. These problems emphasize the need to confront learners with possible misinterpretations (the maxim of conflict). Finally different ways of enhancing the motivation of the reader are suggested in the maxim of pleasure.

description: Stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a plant with sweetening properties. This medicinal plant is perennial and from Asteraceae family. Its leaves contain glycoside compounds of a sugar part and non-sugar sectors. One of the glycosides compounds is RebaudiosideA which has a greater importance in market. Several key regulating genes including copalyl diphosphate synthase (CPPS) (AF034545.1), geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGDPS) (DQ432013.3), (E)-4-hydroxy-3- methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate synthase (HDS) (FJ755689.1), UDP glucosyltranserase 85C2(UGT85C2)(AY345978.1), UDPglucosyltranserase–74G1 (UGT74G1) (AY345982.1) and UDP glucosyltranserase–76G1 (UGT76G1) (KC631816.1) are involved in the biosynthesis Rebaudioside A. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of silver oxide Ag2O on the mRNA level of these genes in the stevia rebaudiana. The experiments repeated 3 times and with concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 µM. Increasing concentrations of 50 micromoles of silver oxide up to 100 micromoles leads to an increase in the expression levels of all the studied genes. Also according to the expression profile of these genes and the results of HPLC there is a significant increase on the expression level of the genes and production of RebaudiosideA under Ag2O treatment. In general, it was found that increasing the concentration of Ag2O can lead to an increase in the level of mRNA for the chosen genes. On the other hand, the low expression of the genes studied under control conditions (No Treatment), compared to the treatment with Ag2O, revealed that the treatment can lead to higher sweetener glycoside components in the Stevia leaves. The physiological assay showed that Ag2O treatment in concentrations of 100 and 200 µM have more positive effect on chlorophyll, protein, carbohydrates and carotenoids in Stevia.

description: Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a kind of perennial medicinal plant with sweetening properties which belongs to Asteraceae family. Its leaves with fundamental glycoside compounds consist of both a sugar part and a non-sugar sector. One of the glycoside compounds is Rebaudioside A which has a greater importance in business. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Ag2O, CrO3, PbO, Fe2O3, BaO and TiO2 on the expression pattern of these genes in the Stevia rebaudiana. Rebaudioside A biosynthesis was repeated 3 times with concentrations of 50, 100 and 200µM. Also, the results of the study pertaining to the expression pattern of these genes showed that metal oxides have led to an increase in the expression of the regulatory genes involved in biosynthesis of Rebaudioside A. According to the expression profile, it was found that its effect on DXR, HDS, HDR, IDI and CPPS genes is more than other genes. The peak HPLC indicated for stevioside and Rebaudioside A represents an increase in the production of this active ingredient under the influence of all treatments. In general, the expression profile of these genes and the results of HPLC show that whatever going to the end of the pathway of production of Rebaudioside A, the activity of the enzymes increases under the influence of these treatments, and eventually a greater amount of Rebaudioside A will be produced. This process shows that metal oxides will have a significant effect on the biosynthesis of Rebaudioside A.

description: Temporary freshwater ponds are key stepping-stone habitats within landscapes that facilitate species dispersal and sustain biodiversity. We assessed environmental factors influencing aquatic macroinvertebrate patterns at a fine spatial scale in the restored quarry ponds of Charcas de los Camorchos (Madrid, Spain). Across 3 seasons, we sampled 1 permanent pond and 6 Mediterranean temporary ponds, representing nearly the entire pondscape. We estimated the relative abundances of macroinvertebrates and characterised pond abiotic factors (physical and chemical parameters), biotic factors (chlorophyll a concentrations, aquatic plant species richness), and spatial connectivity. Our results indicated that seasonality and maximum depth, correlated with pond water permanence, were the main drivers of macroinvertebrate assemblages. In particular, we detected that passive dispersers responded to fine-scale spatial connectivity while active dispersers seemed unaffected by environmental constraints. We observed that pond spatial connectivity was essential in maintaining seasonal patterns in macroinvertebrate assemblages across this pondscape, with the permanent pond playing a crucial “reset” role within the dynamic source–sink system. The study area is a site of significant ecological importance; we identified 79 macroinvertebrate taxa and 12 aquatic plant species, including some rare and endemic taxa. These insights can guide conservation strategies, highlighting the need to preserve entire pondscapes to protect biodiversity from anthropogenic pressures.
title: What does resource-challenged mean according to educators and educational researchers? A review of the literature relevant to textbooks and education media in Madagascar

description: The goals of this paper are 1) to attempt to deepen our understanding of the notions already in use in conceptual frameworks of resources and resource-challenges in textbooks and educational media, especially as they have been applied in Madagascar; and 2) to emphasize the need for educational researchers and educators in this area to form our own context-specific definitions of “educational resources” and “resource challenges” before we make recommendations for improved practice and policy concerning textbooks and educational media. The first part of the paper introduces the work presented at the 2005 Dakar TESOL Symposium on English Language Teaching in Resource Challenged Contexts. The second part synthesizes the diverse views of resource challenges and resource opportunities of leading experts in the field writing about Madagascar. Our conclusions highlight the multiple educational media-related insights and solutions to resource issues discussed in the available literature and point to the need to rethink and revise our existing conceptual frameworks for analyzing the nature and roles of textbooks and educational media in the Malagasy context as well as those of other countries.

description: Congenital ichthyosis represents a wide spectrum of diseases. This article reviews prenatal testing for ichthyosis. We used pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov to search for 38 types of congenital ichthyosis combined with 17 words related to prenatal testing. Search resulted in 408 publications covering 13 types of ichthyoses and four types of tests. Biochemical testing is diagnostic in trichothiodystrophy, but nonspecific in X-linked ichthyosis and Refsum syndrome. Except in X-linked ichthyosis, biochemical testing requires invasive procedures to obtain fetal skin biopsy, amniocytes, or chorionic villus samples. It is superior to histological and cytological examination of fetal skin biopsy or amniocytes because keratinization occurs later in pregnancy and microscopy cannot differentiate between ichthyosis types. Imaging is more acceptable due to noninvasiveness and routine use, although ultrasonography is operator-dependent, nonspecific, and captures abnormalities at late stage. Molecular tests are described in at-risk pregnancies but testing of free fetal DNA was not described.

Aesthetics of Indigenous Affinity: Traveling from Chiapas to Palestine in the Murals of Gustavo Chávez Pavón
Creators: name: Eqeiq, Amal
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: To Exist is to Resist,” is the title of a story that describes two murals, one banner, and the shrinking distance between Mexico and Palestine. This banner, which affirms indigenous steadfastness inspired by Palestinian ṣumūd, appears in big bold red font on similar murals in different sites in Mexico and Palestine: a community center in caracol Oventic—one of the major autonomous Zapatista municipalities in the highlands of Chiapas— and the Apartheid Wall in Occupied Bethlehem. Gustavo Chávez Pavón, a Zapatista cultural promter and an artist from Mexico City, painted both murals in 2004. In this essay, which summarizes series of personal interviews that I conducted with Chávez Pavón between 2017 and 2018, I reflect on how murals function as an artistic expression of indigenous solidarity between Mexico and Palestine. In addition to documenting an untold history of Zapatista solidarity with Palestine, I seek to examine how the Zapatista muralist movement in Chiapas exemplifies notions of indigenous encounters in the Global South. Please note: this article was amended (images added) on July 29th 2019. The changes affected the originally published page numbers (152-165).

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties and the lime-based binder hardening of green concretes made of rice husk or hemp hurd. Concrete specimens were subjected to different curing conditions. Under natural conditions, they were cured during 10 months in a climate-controlled room (20°C ‒ 50%RH) and exposed outdoors. The work also focused on an accelerated carbonation curing (CO2 curing) aiming to improve the short term compressive strength (1-2 months) of the concrete materials. Under natural conditions, the results indicated that the lime binder was almost strengthened in the same way for both concretes with a similar rate of carbonation. However, the rice husk concrete was characterized by a ceiling effect of the mechanical performances over time which was attributed to the lower bonding strength between rice husks and lime. Concerning specimens exposed outdoors, the strength gain over time was more significant owing to more favorable humidity conditions for carbonation. The accelerated carbonation curing led to an increase of the mechanical properties of the concretes in the short term. The compressive strength after the CO2 curing was approximately equivalent to those obtained after 10 months of outdoor exposure under natural carbonation.

description: This report reviews options available for the development of a technical infrastructure to support research data management (RDM) at the University of Sheffield. RDM, its situation within academic research and recent drivers towards change are defined. The processes involved in RDM and the elements of the supporting technical infrastructure are examined. The local context, of RDM technical infrastructure at the University of Sheffield and collaborating institutions, is explored. The report briefly describes the eighty most commonly used components of RDM technical infrastructure at UK HEIs. The report describes evaluations, reviews and comparisons of these components, gives examples of established RDM services and highlights the recent projects at UK HEIs which were involved in developing these services. This report focuses on the outcomes of projects at UK HEIs funded by the JISC ‘Managing Research Data’ programmes 2009-11 and 2011-2013. Generally the infrastructure architectures examined have been developed in response to the functional requirements derived from researcher workflows. Finally, recommendations for suitable technical infrastructure components are proposed.

description: In this paper, new options are presented for seamless connection and synchronization between linear – passive / lean back - Television broadcasts and interactive – lean forward - online multimedia content as well as 2nd Screen applications. Based on two project examples it will be shown and solutions discussed concerning scene- & segment-based synchronization between the content of information/news/documentary or children TV broadcasts and related additionally 'stretched' online content as well as interactive applications – both on TV and/or on 2nd Screen. The projects and examples are based on the emerging interactive TV standard HbbTV – Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV. A mixed passive / interactive consumption approach is an important issue here.

Visionizing a fiat cryptocurrency

Subjects: subject: 330 - Wirtschaft

description: Bitcoin is part of a wider range of opportunities to creating cryptocurrencies based on blockchains. Research has shown that the existing cryptocurrencies are very volatile and often illiquid. A cryptocurrency endorsed by a Central Bank, as the starter of a private blockchain, will most likely show more stability. It may even take the form of legal tender. However, since almost all countries have their own currency already, the governments will not feel the need for an additional currency. One exception is Palestine. It enjoyed the privilege of having its own currency in the past. The purpose of this research is the evaluation of the feasibility of a cryptocurrency as legal tender. The authors recommend a new Palestinian Pound built on a private blockchain using Hyperledger. In practice it would not differ from any other fiat (legal) currency. The current weakness of not having its own currency could be turned into a strength by becoming the most advanced economy where transactions are transparent and efficient. This paper fills a research gap by analyzing the opportunities of a cryptocurrency that is actual legal tender and endorsed by a monetary authority.

description: This report aims to present an analysis of the training needs aspect of researcher surveys, by questionnaire and interview, carried out for projects of the JISC MRD programmes 2011-131 and 2009-112. Many of the projects funded by these programmes conducted surveys of the institution’s research staff and students, in order to discover their research data management (RDM) practices, determine their RDM requirements and configure the service infrastructure to meet these requirements appropriately. Those projects that included questions on training requirements in their surveys and published the results of these surveys are referred to.
Indigenous New Media Arts: Narrative Threads and Future Imaginaries
Creators: name: Pitman, Thea
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: This article seeks both to communicate a sense of the vibrancy and diversity of Indigenous new media artworks and projects, and to “frame” them within the context of the particular transnational networks of friendship and support into which they are born and in which they circulate. It is my contention that Indigenous new media arts have particularly flourished across the parts of the “Anglo-world” (Belich) that are the result of the early waves of British settler colonialism, most notably in countries such as Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and the United States. The article explores the conditions that make such global Indigenous networks across the British (post)colonial settler world possible, before moving on to study in more detail works by Hymhenteqhous Mizhekay Odayin/Turtle Heart, Skawennati, Ruben Anton Komangapik, Lisa Reihana, William Ray Wilson, and Lily Hibberd and Curtis Taylor, amongst others. It concludes with an analysis of the exhibition of Indigenous new media art in formal gallery spaces. It asks who the works are for and what kinds of audiences they reach in such spaces, exploring Indigenous artists’ hopes for how entering such formal spaces of the “artworld” might effect their decolonisation. Such optimism notwithstanding, it also cautions against the dangers of co-optation by the “artworld” that restrict the circulation of artworks, and makes recommendations for ways to ensure that they continue to be accessible to the communities from which they stem.

Untranslatable Timescapes in James Welch’s Fools Crow and the Deconstruction of Settler Time
Creators: name: Wiese, Doro
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2019

description: Since the nineteenth century, hegemonic Euro-Western ideas of time have constituted it as being linear, progressive, objectifiable, and measurable. What happens if Euro-Western readers are confronted with indigenous temporalities that do not conform to this dominant temporal understanding? In the globally published novel Fools Crow, by Native American Renaissance writer James Welch, past, present, and future are inseparable. These temporal layers constantly interact with each other and influence the story’s course of events. This essay shows how Welch’s temporalizations constitute a fundamental untranslatability in the novel. Its employment of indigenous forms of time are inimical to Euro-Western notions of it and cannot be integrated into the US American idea of “settler time” as embodying and bringing progress. In Fools Crow, Welch refuses to glorify the westward expansion of the USA, during which the novel is set, through the master narratives of the frontier and Manifest Destiny. Instead, Fools Crow offers a fictional account ­­— narrated exclusively from the point of view of indigenous Pikuni protagonists — that depicts the consequences of settler encroachment, the destruction of livelihood, the near-annihilation of whole tribes from epidemics, the massacres. This essay explores the ways in which Fools Crows’ temporal untranslatability advances insights into the economies and hegemonies of Euro-Western knowledge production. It illustrates how the novel deconstructs Euro-Western assumptions of time as self-evident, naturally-given, and universal, contrasting them with indigenous ideas of time as inimical and untranslatable to Euro-Western temporalization. This untranslatability, it concludes, helps to define and contour the limits of Euro-Western knowledge.
