Monolinguism of Other as a Limit of a Narrative Identity. Retelling the University Today

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the middle of the student movement of 1968 in France, Paul Ricoeur raised a reform and a revolution perspective about the University centered on two nuclear aspects: a) the reformulation of the functional structure of the University; and b) the transformation of the University from the relationship between teachers and students. Ricoeur affirmed that the crisis of civilization that inhabits the society, prevents to transform the University, and that it is only from the own language of this institution this transformation could be accomplished. Ricoeur evidences the rhetoric and discourse of capitalist production that is invading the University and changing its nature. The richness of his narrative work and action settings included in Mimesis I-III is of what hinted at in the center of the teacher-student relationship that can provide us valuable interpretative trails to understand and propose alternative solutions to the contemporary University crisis. This communication shows how the contamination of academic capitalism distorts the narrative processes all together: to say, tell, recognize others, promise, attesting and remember, to the point that members of the educational community are unable to build a narrative identity, to recognize themselves in their socio-academic trajectories, to recognize the institution and finally, to be recognized by the institution. The distortion allows the extension of a capitalist hegemonic discourse throughout the individuals’ socio-educational experiences and contaminates their life trajectories. Finally, this paper suggests some alternatives to re-think the crisis of the University through the link between a pedagogical intention to an ethical intention. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n9p682
Effect of Continuous Hydrogen Injection on Diesel Engine Performance and Emission

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Hydrogen is recognised globally as one of the main renewable energy sources to produce clean fuel used in combustion engines. The study examines the effects of using hydrogen as an additive fuel in a diesel compression engine. The samples selected, and used in the study included; neat diesel fuel (D0), diesel with 2 l/min (D+H2), diesel with 4 l/min (D+H4), diesel with 6 l/min (D+H6) and diesel with 7 l/min (D+H7). Samples were tested to determine the characteristics associated with engine performance at a speed of 2000 ± 100 rpm, and applying a constant hydraulic pressure of 2000kPa. The presence of hydrogen was introduced into the engine via the intake manifold, without requiring an injection device. The test results demonstrated an improvement in brake power and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of approximately 701.51W and 28.57% respectively. The torque produced by the engine was maintained at 2.82Nm. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was found to be quite compelling, with an overall reduction from 0.44 kg/kWh to 0.21kg/kWh, with an incremental hydrogen flow rate. Furthermore, the temperature of exhaust gas displayed an inclined pattern with maximum NOx emissions appearing at a hydrogen flow rate of 4 l/min (D+H4). However, the unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were reduced by 22.2%, 79.9%, and 21.6% respectively from the diesel baseline.
What Explains Differences in International Performance? TIMSS Researchers Continue to Look for Answers

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)-1995 and its successor, TIMSS-1999, provide researchers, policymakers, and educators with an unprecedented opportunity to explore the possible relationships between educational policies and student achievement in an international context.Due to the amount and complexity of the TIMSS data, analyses have proceeded in phases, each providing a more detailed and sophisticated understanding of these relationships.This Brief is the third in the Consortium for Policy Research in Education's (CPRE) series reporting on the policy implications of TIMSS data.It summarizes results of recently completed TIMSS research that explores in greater detail questions raised in initial analyses. 1 Earlier analyses of TIMSS data were based largely on observed differences between instructional variables in the United States and in high-achieving TIMSS nations.This was a kind of "benchmarking" approach in which certain practices were hypothesized to increase student achievement.Some of the research summarized in this Brief continues this earlier work by exploring additional differences between policy and practice in the United States and in other TIMSS nations.Other studies expand on this work by looking for instructional variables that might explain differences in student achievement across a broader range of TIMSS nations.Results do not yield simple lessons and may thus be frustrating for those who hoped that TIMSS might prescribe specific recommendations for policy and practice.Recent research does, however, continue to raise important questions about the relationships between What Explains Differences in International Performance?TIMSS Researchers Continue to Look for Answers
Synergism of ApoE4 and systemic infectious burden is mediated by the APOE‐NLRP3 axis in Alzheimer's disease

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Background Systemic infections are associated with the development of AD, especially in individuals carrying the APOE4 genotype. However, the detailed mechanism through which APOE4 affects microglia inflammatory response remains unclear. Methods We obtained human snRNA‐seq data from the Synapse AD Knowledge Portal and assessed the DEGs between APOE3 and APOE4 isoforms in microglia. To verify the interaction between ApoE and infectious products, we used ApoE to stimulate in vitro and in vivo models in the presence or absence of LPS (or ATP). The NLRP3 gene knockout experiment was performed to demonstrate whether the APOE‐NLRP3 axis was indispensable for microglia to regulate inflammation and mitochondrial autophagy. Results were evaluated by biochemical analyses and fluorescence imaging. Results Compared with APOE3, up‐regulated genes in APOE4 gene carriers were involved in pro‐inflammatory responses. ApoE4‐stimulation significantly increased the levels of NLRP3 inflammasomes and ROS in microglia. Moreover, compared with ApoE4 alone, the co‐incubation of ApoE4 with LPS (or ATP) markedly promoted pyroptosis. Both NF‐κB activation and mitochondrial autophagy dysfunction were contributed by the increased level of NLRP3 inflammasomes induced by ApoE4. Furthermore, the pathological impairment induced by ApoE4 could be reversed by NLRP3 KO. Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of NLRP3 inflammasomes in linking ApoE4 with microglia innate immune function. These findings not only provide a molecular basis for APOE4‐mediated neuroinflammatory but also reveal the potential reason for the increased risk of AD in APOE4 gene carriers after contracting infectious diseases.
COVID-19 related anxieties do not decrease support for liberal democracy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Studies carried out at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic confirmed that under the impression of fear individuals were more willing to tolerate violations of liberal-democratic norms, and supported discriminatory policies to preserve public safety. But what are the potential consequences of the pandemic on citizens’ attitudes beyond its peak? We conducted an original experiment in which we manipulate individuals’ cognitive accessibility of their fears related to COVID-19 one and a half years after the onset of the pandemic. We fielded the experiment in Hungary and Romania–two cases most likely to see such attitudes amplify under the condition of fear. Our intervention was successful in elevating respondents’ levels of worry, anxiety, and fear when thinking about infectious diseases like COVID-19. However, these emotions did not affect individuals’ levels of rightwing authoritarianism, nationalism, or outgroup hostility, or their preferences for specific discriminatory policies aimed to fight a potential resurgence of COVID-19.

Design of linear transmitters for wireless applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Wireless standards for high data-rate communications typically employ complex modulation schemes that have large peak-to-average power ratios (PAPR), along with a significant bandwidth requirement. Transmitters for such applications often employ off-chip power amplifiers (PAs), that are typically operated in back-off, such that the peak output power is less than the output 1-dB compression point (P1dB), in order to minimize distortion. In mobile systems, architectures that can enhance the linearity of the transmit chain are highly attractive since these can reduce the PA's back-off requirement, which helps to enhance efficiency.\nIn this dissertation, linearization techniques for mobile transmitters are explored. A Cartesian feedback-feedforward transmitter is proposed for linearity enhancement. The transmit path in the architecture is placed in a Cartesian feedback loop. The feedback error signal is applied to a Cartesian feedforward path for further linearity improvement. Linearity of the feedback-feedforward system is analyzed by using a Volterra series representation. System simulations using two-tone signals and modulated signals are also presented and are used to verify the linearity enhancement provided by the proposed architecture. \nA prototype transmitter IC that employs the Cartesian feedback-feedforward approach is implemented in a 0.13 μm CMOS process. Design considerations for critical transmitter circuits are discussed. A proof-of-concept Cartesian feedback-feedforward architecture that includes the prototype IC and external components is demonstrated. The implementation allows for a 8.7 dB improvement in the adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), compared to an open-loop transmitter, for an output power of 16.6 dBm at 2.4 GHz while employing a 16-QAM LTE signal with 1.4 MHz bandwidth. \nThe linearity of the Cartesian feedback-feedforward system is found to depend primarily on the loop gain of the Cartesian feedback and the linearity of the Cartesian feedforward path, which introduces a trade-off with power consumption. To enhance the linearity of the Cartesian feedback-feedforward transmitter even further within the Cartesian feedback loop, two modified Cartesian feedback-feedforward architectures are explored. System simulations show that both modified configurations can help to enhance linearity compared to the above Cartesian feedback-feedforward transmitter.
Calculation on the Bisection Width of H-Torus Topology

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Two methods are presented to calculate the lower bound and upper bound on the bisection width of H-Toms topology.These two methods can also be applied to the 2D Torus topology.A method is presented to calculate the exact bisection width for H-Torus too.But this method has unacceptable complexity and can only be accepted with small scale.It is shown that H-Torus topology has larger bisection width.Regarding precision,the lower bound and upper bound introduced in this paper are greatly improved.This result strongly supports the design of scalable routers.

Mindfulness-based Classroom Intervention: Boon or bane to ESL Teachers in Malaysia?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Teachers as well as pupils may experience stress during the process of teaching and learning a second language in a classroom setting. Mindfulness-Based Interventions are an effective way to manage stress issues in language classrooms. This study aimed to explore the perception of selected English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers on implementing MBIs during their online lessons regarding their understanding of and challenges in its execution. The perceptions of Malaysian English language teachers of this intervention have not been adequately evaluated, despite being one of the most important stakeholders in academia. Seventeen English language instructors from two secondary schools in Perak were interviewed using a semi-structured format. The subjects were chosen using a convenient sampling method. The goal was to determine what the teachers thought about the intervention in general. In addition, their readiness and acceptance of the method are also investigated. The interview was also conducted to elicit their thoughts on the potential inhibitors and facilitators to the introduction of MBIs in their lessons. The findings indicate that the idea of mindfulness is still new to the teachers since they do not understand it collectively. The challenges associated with executing the plan are also emphasized, along with recommendations for mitigating them. Despite possible obstacles, the teachers exhibit a generally positive attitude and a strong desire to implement Mindfulness-based Interventions in their classrooms.
Thalamic taste responses to changing stimulus concentration

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In the rat brainstem, where responses are often vigorous to basic gustatory stimuli, the code for taste intensity appears to be a function of total neural activity. By contrast, thalamic neurons respond sluggishly to stimuli representing the four basic taste qualities, and total neural activity does not rise significantly with increasing stimulus concentration. Rather, most thalamic cells (61%) show sensitivity to concentration changes of one or more qualities, but a distinct minority are unaffected by intensity. Further, increases in stimulus concentration may affect the neurons which are sensitive either directly or inversely. Thus, only a subpopulation of thalamic neurons seems to signal stimulus intensity, doing so through both excitatory and inhibitory responses. The role of the thalamus in processing taste information is discussed.

Properties and Layerwise Modeling of the Harlequin Variational Theorem for Composite Structures

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The analysis of composite structures requires an accurate prediction of the displacements, strain, and (especially) stress fields. To meet this requirement the Harlequin Variational Theorem of the First Family (HVTFF) was recently formulated by adopting the Partitioned Parametrized Variational Procedure (PPVP). This work introduces for the first time LayerWise (LW) axiomatic models that simultaneously represent displacements, stresses, and strains within HVTFF framework. In addition, the physical meaning of the user-selected variational parameter appearing in the functional is assessed and its effects on the accuracy of the fields' representations is determined. It is also shown that HVTFF can lead to pure displacement formulations or displacement-stress approaches typical of the Hellinger-Reissner Principle (HRP) and Reissner Mixed Variational Theorem (RMVT).
An Optimization Scheme for High-Level-Waste Removal Sequencing Using ProdMod

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

A dynamic optimization scheme has been developed to generate high-level-waste (HLW) blending sequences that optimize waste-processing parameters such as raw waste volume processed in a batch, waste-processing time, or waste-processing cost. The optimization algorithm takes advantage of the linear algebraic equation formulation and the continuous-discrete event mapping algorithms used in the Production Planning Model (ProdMod) simulator development. The FORTRAN-based optimizer is interfaced with the SPEEDUP-based dynamic process simulator ProdMod. The optimization scheme has been successfully implemented to maximize the amount of raw waste volume processed in a batch for one of the salt-processing options at the Savannah River Site HLW complex. Parametric studies demonstrate that this optimization scheme provides a realistic approach for guiding the operation of HLW complexes. The optimization scheme is applicable to other sites in the nuclear waste complex (e.g., Hanford) and also for process industries where the dynamics are simulated using Aspen Technology’s SPEEDUP software development package.

On Uniqueness and Solvability in The Linear Problem of Ship Waves

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This work is devoted to the question of uniqueness and solvability for the linear problem of ship waves, describing the forward motion of rigid totally submerged bodies in an unbounded fluid with a free surface. The statement of the problem is discussed with some attention paid to the conditions at infinity. For the problem, Green's identity and boundary integral equations on the wetted surface of the bodies are derived; equivalence of the equations and the boundary-value problem is proved. New criteria and sufficient conditions of unique solvability are suggested. A uniqueness theorem is proved in the form of simple bounds of possible nonuniqueness parameters. Algorithms for verification of uniqueness and finding nonuniqueness examples are developed and numerical results illustrating the theoretical considerations are given.

Cloning, sequencing and expression of an endo-?-1,4- glucanase gene of a Bacillus subtilis CHZ1

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The endoglucanase gene (celG) from B. subtilis CHZ1 was amplified by PCR, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5?. The amplified fragment with the structural gene was 2,589 bp and its nucleotide sequence was determined and analysed. The amplified fragment had an open reading frame of 1,524 bp encoding a predicted protein of 56,472 daltons in size with 508 amino acids. celG genes possible ribosomal binding site was identified and it resembled that of B. subtilis ?43 RNA polymerase. The gene contains a signal sequence codifying for a peptide of 38 amino acid residues. A BLASTN search showed 98 percent identities to endo-?-1,4-glucanase that has a predicted protein structure having a cellulases catalytic domain (CD) of 278 amino acids linked to a cellulose binding domain (CBD_3) with 83 residues. The enzyme was identified to belong to family-5A glycosyl hydrolases. There was no drastic reduction in endoglucanase activity during cultivation of the clones as was observed with the wild type strain.
