Abstract:
Freshman students at the College of Languages and Translation received direct instruction in plural formation. Instruction covered regular plural nouns, irregular plural nouns, plural formation of words ending in –f, and –o, nouns that have the same plural and singular form, and words with Latin and foreign plurals. The students did all the exercises in the textbook, then took an immediate test a week after instruction and a delayed test at the end of the semester (3 months later). Responses were scored and a corpus of 3099 errors was collected from both tests. No significant differences were found in the amount and types of errors made by the students in the immediate and delayed tests. Results revealed that freshman students tended to regularize English plural formation and overgeneralize regular English plural morphemes (63.28%), i.e., they deleted the regular plural suffix from nouns ending in an –s or –es (35.37%) or tended to add the regular plural suffix to words that do not have it (27.91%). They also confused singular and plural endings of Latin words (15.07%). They either confused the singular and plural forms of the same Latin word or added a faulty Latin suffix to a Latin word or even a non-Latin word such as criterium, *curriculon, *natia, *salma, *petrolea. In other cases, they thought the singular and plural forms of a word were the same (7%). In addition, findings showed that the most difficult plurals to master were those of words that end with an –s or –es but have no singular form such as measles, news, pajamas, means, linguistics (28.85%); words with Latin plurals (21.85%); non-count nouns such as information, electricity, petroleum, salmon with no plural form (21.4%), and words that have a plural, but they thought they have no plural form such as nation, illness, infection, African (8.55%). Interference among the English plural morphemes themselves and confusing plural formation rules caused most errors. No interference from Arabic pluralization was found. Recommendations for improving students’ English plural formation competence are given.

Abstract:
Sport is part of the success of national development. Sports fostering and development must be placed in the mainstreaming of various government and local government policies at all lines and levels within the framework of the spirit of the nation. In the midst of the plurality of the Indonesian nation in race, ethnicity, culture and religion, sport is one of the means of unifying the nation. Our very diverse society competes in one arena, whether it is against fellow Indonesians, or with other nations from around the world, all of which blend into one. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The use of a qualitative approach in research through descriptive analysis, the researcher wants to describe the concept of diversity nationalism and sports nationalism, the relationship between nationalism and sports and its manifestations in the field. This paper is a literature review on the phenomenon of sports nationalism in a diverse society. Sources of data come from scientific journals, book literature, official website which is then described by descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that exercise has broad benefits. Sports are often used as a tool for government and media to achieve national interests. Nationalism can be a source of motivation to achieve the best achievements as a gift to the nation and state. State institutions take sports programs that adapt and are friendly to socio-culture in East Java to integrate cultural sports synergy programs in uniting diversity. Multicultural culture comes to the surface, all soccer enthusiasts accept it as a new identity. Football no longer thinks about the backgrounds of the players, whether they are regional men or players from outside the region and region.

Abstract:
Most nation states today are plural societies, with more than one tradition of economic, political and jural organization. As developing nations move towards increasing integration of peripheral regions and groups, the problems inherent in this plurality are becoming increasingly intractable. One significant problem area lies in rural development which involves land tenure and the western perception of “peasant” or tribal peoples as “common potatoes in a sack.” This paper compares the diachronic development of property systems in two neighbouring ethnic groups of upland northern Philippines to argue that more research is needed into the social processes resulting from plural jural institutions. Not all peripheral groups respond in the same ways to plural jural systems; the reasons for differing responses may tell us much about the phenomenon of growing inequality in developing nations.

Abstract:
This article is to discuss the pluralism values in building the nation characters. Indonesia consist of plural ethnics, nations, and religions that if its pluralism is not well‐maintained there will be social conflict, even worse violence which results in many victims. Recent conflicts happen on behalf of communities, ethnic, and even religion. To solve that problem, the nationcharacter needs to be built in order to create a high‐civilized, cooperative, and peaceful nation. The nation‐character can be build by the spirit of pluralism that is building the multi‐cultural Indonesian into real Indonesian who understands their position to build peaceful in Indonesia. The nation‐character building is applied in two forms: autonomy and heteronomy that is the building from internal and external (environment) aspects.

Abstract:
Resumen. Este artículo presenta un estudio de las figuraciones del “homosexual” en América Latina. Se inspira en el trabajo de Cynthia Weber sobre teoría queer en Relaciones In­ternacionales y en el análisis latinoamericano queer de Carlos Figari. Se propone una manera plural de contestar a tres interrogantes: ¿quién es el “homosexual” en América Latina?, ¿qué es el Estado-nación moderno que se presupone “soberano”? y ¿cómo el “homosexual” participa en la construcción del Estado-nación “soberano”? Las dos primeras preguntas no se contestan, pero se explora su potencial para los estudios “queer” y de Relaciones Internacionales.Para contestar la tercera pregunta se introduce una figuración plural del “homosexual” que rompe con la dicotomía entre normal y perverso en el contexto latinoamericano: Juan­Ga/Aguilera. Se justifica por qué JuanGa/Aguilera crea un Estado-nación soberano plural que complica (quizá hasta hace imposibles) las nociones tradicionales dicotómicas de soberanía. Se utiliza este resultado para dar una serie de perspectivas de investigación que abre el en­tendimiento de las figuraciones plurales como hombre soberano, tanto en los estudios lati­noamericanos de teoría queer como en los de Relaciones Internacionales.Palabras clave: Queer, Relaciones Internacionales, sexualidad, homosexualidad, sober­anía, política internacional.Abstract. This article presents a study about Latin American figurations of the “homo­sexual”. It was inspired by the work of Cynthia Weber in Queer International Relations (Queer IR) and the Latin American Queer analysis of Carlos Figari. It proposes a new pluralistic way to answer to three interrogatives: who is the “homosexual” in Latin America?, what is the modern nation-state that is assumed to be “sovereign”? and, how does the “homosexual” participates in the construction of the “sovereign” nation-state? The first two questions are not answered, rather they are explored for their potential to produce new insights to Queer and IR theories.To answer the third question, it will be introduced a new plural figuration of the “homo­sexual” that breaks apart with the either normal or perverse dichotomy: JuanGa/Aguilera. It is justified why JuanGa/Aguilera creates a plural “sovereign” nation state that makes more difficult (even impossible) to sustain traditional binary understandings of sovereign. This last result will be used to give new research possibilities that can be achieved in Latin American Queer Studies and International Relations through the understanding of plural figurations of sovereign man.Keywords: queer, International Relations, sexuality, homosexuality, sovereignty, inter­national politics.

Abstract:
The Indonesian nation was created by Allah SWT as a plural nation based on ethnicity, culture, race and religion by having the motto of Unity in Diversity. Plurality is a sociological reality which in reality society is indeed plural. Plural basically shows more than one and ism is something related to understanding or flow. Thus pluralism is an understanding or attitude towards multiple or many circumstances in everything including social, cultural, political and religious All religions also strengthen national integration through teachings that emphasize a sense of fairness, compassion, tolerance of religious harmony, unity, unity, brotherhood and togetherness. Besides that, the noble values ​​of culture and maintaining the integrity of the Unity and Unity of the Indonesian nation which is manifested through customs also play a role in binding the inner relations within each citizen and Indonesian nation. And if all that is not realized then there will be many conflicts in Indonesia. The young generation must possess and instill a high sense of pluralism in providing a tolerance of religious harmony in Indonesia. Leaders are born from young generations to succeed the ideals of the Indonesian people. Along with this pluralism, especially in Indonesia, there is an importance if we understand that in fact, all the differences that we have are not basic, not the breath of the establishment of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. However, the Homeland was formed because of similarities and not differences.

Abstract:
This article argues a theological case for “principled pluralism,” a particular stance regarding the proper attitude of the state towards the plural religious affiliations of its citizens. Its central claim is that the role of the state is both to defend the religious freedom of adherents to all faiths and to maintain a public square equally open to contributions from all faiths without publicly privileging any faith, even Christianity. It develops the argument in critical dialogue with a “Christian nation” position, according to which nations can exercise corporate religious agency, should be formed where possible according to Christian principles, and in which Christian citizens should call their governments to support the nation’s Christian character.

Abstract:
Multiculturalism can be understood as an acknowledgment of the diversity of a pluralistic, heterogeneous and plural society. If expanded, it can also be interpreted as a diversity of cultures, traditions, lifestyles, religions, and other forms of difference. For the Indonesian people who are indeed blessed with God Almighty, this plurality and plurality should be a source of pride and great strength for the Indonesian nation. Multiculturalism is not only recognized but also accepted for differences, ethnicity, religion, race, between groups and ethnicities. The Indonesian people who live in it must be able to live side by side with each other, so that the desired harmonization of the Indonesian people can be realized properly. difference with Pancasila (nothing else). As a unifying ideology of the nation, Pancasila is a solution to conflicts between nationalist and religious groups, Pancasila has been able to show its function as a unifier of the plural, heterogeneous, and multicultural Indonesian nation.

Abstract:
The question of nation-building has always been a central issue in Malaysian politics. Whilst the country has been able to sustain a relatively stable politics since the 1969 tragedy, and hence spawn a rapid economic development (at least until the 1997 Asian economic crisis), the project of nation-building remained a basic national agenda yet to be fully resolved. This study investigates the delicate process of nation-building in Malaysia in the post 1970s, especially in the context of the vision of constructing the Bangsa Malaysia or 'a united Malaysian nation' enshrined in Mahathir's Vision 2020 project which was introduced in 1991. The aim of the study is firstly, to examine the underlying socio-political parameters that shaped and influenced the politics of nation-building in the country, and secondly, to explore the viability of the project of Bangsa Malaysia in the context of the daunting challenges involved in the process of nation-building. Drawing from a range of theoretical frameworks as well as from both primary and secondary data, the study contends that, based on the Malaysian experience, the potent interplay between the forces of ethnicity and nationalism constitute the crux of the problems in the politics of nation-building in Malaysia. This dialectic it is argued, stems from the prevalence of the varying perceptions of 'nation-of-intent' within and across ethnic groups. These phenomena have not only shaped the pattern of ethnic political mobilisation in the country, but above all, laid the most complex set of obstacles in the path of the project of nation-building. This study argues that the project of constructing the Bangsa Malaysia therefore, can be seen as a significant attempt by the state to reconcile the varying ethnic ideologies of nation-of-intent. It can also be considered as an attempt to consolidate Malay nationalism and cultural pluralism, thus, depicting 'the nation' as a 'mosaic of cultures', or reflecting a creation of 'a supra-ethnic' national identity. However, the viability of the envisaged project is yet to be tested. The concept itself is still vague to many people and the challenges ahead are enormous, involving political, economic, socio-cultural and religious issues. Indeed, the project risks becoming the 'latest' in the series of competing notions of nation-of-intent circulating in Malaysia. This study contends that whilst, to some extent, the socio-political landscape of Malaysian society has been rapidly changing, especially under the eighteen years of Mahathir's reign,ethnicity still pervades Malaysian political life. This study differs from many previous studies on nation-building in Malaysia which have mainly focused on either the historical dimensions or those which have examined the impact of key national policies. As such, it is hoped that this study would be able to provide an alternative perspective in the analysis of ethnic relations and nation-building in Malaysia, thus broadening the understanding of Malaysian politics and society.

Abstract:
Dans ce travail, « nation » et « diversité » sont pensées et questionnées ensemble, depuis le champ de l'éducation. Cette thèse apporte des éléments qui expliquent comment se construisent et se naturalisent les formes d'identification à une catégorie nationale. Les réflexions visent à décentrer l'idée qu'une nation est « une et homogène » et à questionner la place que les différences culturelles occupent, en termes d'inclusion et d'exclusion, dans les discours sur la nation. Ici, le concept de « nation », composant du modèle politique de l'État-nation, est compris comme une construction politique et sociale. Il est question du Belize (historiquement colonisé par la Grande-Bretagne et indépendant depuis 1981) qui, comme de nombreuses « nouvelles » nations après les décolonisations, a été légitimée par un pouvoir mondial et a été définie, délimitée et « manufacturée » depuis « le haut » par un État. L'éducation est un outil largement investi par les États pour diffuser des représentations et des symboles qui contribuent à la construction d'identifications nationales. Les écoles sont aussi des espaces de socialisations multiples où les individus se socialisent et construisent des identifications selon des catégories sociales. Cette recherche examine les manières dans lesquelles les acteurs du système éducatif (institutions et espaces scolaires) mobilisent et transforment, dans les récits historiques (textes, paroles, images, etc.), des catégories raciales et ethniques qui participent, dans les écoles, aux processus d'incorporation et d'identification à la nation. Pour appréhender la complexité des processus de « nationalisations » des écoliers, cette recherche combine trois axes d'analyses : l'histoire sociale de l'institutionnalisation de l'école coloniale ; une sociologie des acteurs d'institutions éducatives chargés d'écrire l'histoire nationale ; une ethnographie des pratiques éducatives dans des écoles primaires. Ainsi, ce travail considère les dimensions historiques, institutionnelles, idéologiques et sociales qui participent à la socialisation des acteurs qui font l'école. Depuis des perspectives locales et globales, les analyses montrent que le développement de l'éducation coloniale a contribué à façonner des identités raciales et ethniques propres au Belize, qui se réarticulent, aujourd'hui, à l'école nationale. La thèse met en lumière les liens entre les institutions de l'État (ministère de l'Éducation, université) avec une organisation ethnique et avec les écoles primaires, dans l'élaboration et l'implantation de programmes éducatifs. Elle rend compte de reproductions, de transformations et d'appropriations ethnopolitiques de l'histoire coloniale qui font évoluer, non seulement, les discours historiques sur la nation, mais qui éclairent aussi la diversité des significations que les acteurs construisent sur les différences. Enfin, les voix des écoliers nuancent et questionnent les discours schématiques et stéréotypés des institutions. Le poids de l'histoire est conséquent, néanmoins, les expressions des enfants recueillies dans le cadre de cette étude montrent à quel point les imaginaires nationaux sont fluides et pluriels, les élèves s'approprient et réinterprètent les discours, en faisant preuve qu'il n'existe pas « une nation », mais bien une multiplicité de perceptions et de vécus qui donnent du sens à des identifications qualifiées de nationales
In this work, “nation” and “diversity” are thought and questioned together from the Education field. This dissertation brings elements that explain how identifications to a national category are constructed and naturalized. The reflections aim to decenter the idea that a nation is “one and homogenous” and to question the place that cultural differences occupy, in terms of inclusion and exclusion, in the discourses about the nation. Here, the concept of nation, as part of the Nation-state political model, is understood as a political and social construction. It is about Belize, historically colonized by Great Britain and independent from 1981, that like many other “new” nations after decolonization, were legitimized by an international power and was defined, demarcated, and “manufactured” from a State. The Education is a tool largely invested by States to diffuse representations and symbols that contribute to constructions of national identifications. The schools are also spaces where children socialize daily and construct identifications according to social categories. This research studies the ways in which actors of the educative system (institutions and schools) mobilize and transform, in historical accounts (texts, speeches, images, etc.) racial and ethnic categories which participate, in the schools, to the process of national incorporation and identification. In order to understand the complexity of the process of “nationalization” of students, this study combines three analytical approaches: the social history of the institutionalization of the colonial education; a sociology of actors in educational institutions responsible to write the national history; an ethnography of educational practices in primary schools. In this way, this work considers the historical, institutional, ideological, and social dimensions that contribute to build national socializations in schools. From local and global perspectives, the analyses show that the development of the colonial education participated to shape racial and ethnic identities specific to Belize that are rearticulated today in the national school. The dissertation enlightens the links between governmental institutions (ministry of Education, University) with an ethnic organization and primary schools, in the elaboration and implementation of educational programs or projects. It reports on reproductions, transformations and ethnopolitical appropriations of the colonial history that make evolved, not only the historical stories of the nation, but also shows the diversity of significations that actors construct about differences. Finally, the voices of the children nuance and question the schematical and stereotypical discourses of the institutions. The weight of history is significant, however, the student expressions collected in this study, show how far the national imaginaries are smooth and plural, the pupils appropriate and reinterpret the discourses, proving that there is no “one nation”, but a multiplicity of perceptions and backgrounds that give meanings to identifications qualified as nationals

Abstract:
Following a series of profound conflicts in the early 21st century, Bolivia became the world’s first pluri-national state in 2009. The idea of the pluri-national state goes beyond the (uni-)national state; imagining a state that allows peoples’ coexistence on an equal footing in a state that facilitates their autonomy (Garcés, 2011). However, recent research indicates that, in practice, the Bolivian state transformation is full of tensions. Based on a framework that brings together Open Marxism (Holloway and Picciotto, 1977; Clarke, 1991c; Bonefeld et al., 1992b, a; Bonefeld et al., 1995b) and the 'de-colonial option' (Quijano, 2006), I offer in-depth insights into contemporary Bolivia. In this, I understand the state as the political form of the social relations of capital, which is marked by modernity and its 'darker side' - coloniality (Mignolo, 2011). This thesis offers tools for studying how the state 'translates' indigenous- and non-indigenous struggles into policies, law and polity (Dinerstein, 2015) while also mediating external pressures. After embedding the pluri-national state in its historical context, covering the emergence and development of the Bolivian state form, I look in depth at the pluri-national state. In this, I unpack the multifaceted struggles for autonomy and find that when mediating autonomy into the pluri-national state, something essential to the definition of plurinationality is lost in translation. First, struggles for autonomy as peoples’ self-determination and deepened decentralisation became subordinated to, yet not annihilated by the government’s social-communitarian model that is advocated in the name of the pueblo’s self-determination and ensures the state’s material basis. Secondly, state-recognised autonomy comes at the cost of submission to a state which continuously operates pre-dominantly according to modern/colonial ideas of law, order and organisation. The contradictions found in the pluri-national autonomy regime and the state are inherent in it and hence, cannot be resolved through reform.

Abstract:
Contexte. Après des siècles de diminution, la surface forestière de la plupart des pays développés augmente, un phénomène appelé « transition forestière ». Le stock de bois sur pied présente une augmentation plus rapide mais son évolution, associée à des problématiques actuelles majeures, reste négligée. Il est indispensable de caractériser et comprendre ces évolutions, d’en connaître les causes sous-jacentes, et de les reconstituer sur le long terme afin de pouvoir situer les ressources forestières dans une trajectoire d’ensemble et anticiper leur dynamique future. Cette thèse est consacrée aux forêts françaises métropolitaines et repose principalement sur les données de l’IFN. Objectifs. (1) Analyser les changements de surfaces, de stock et de densité de stock et leurs hétérogénéités spatiales et temporelles, sur 40 ans (1975 – 2015) en fonction de facteurs présumés structurer ces évolutions (géographie, propriété et composition). L’existence de changements de vitesse d’expansion a été recherchée. Le lien entre les changements de stock et des propriétés de la forêt (stock et densité de stock initiaux, augmentation récente de surface) ont été analysés. (2) Analyser les mécanismes des changements de stock et décomposer l’expansion selon des ensembles forestiers homogènes du point de vue de leur dynamique. L’analyse se fonde sur une estimation des flux de stock : croissance, recrutement, mortalité et prélèvement. (3) Situer l’expansion actuelle du stock dans une dynamique séculaire. Les stocks de 1892, 1908 et 1929 (associés aux surfaces de statistiques anciennes) ont été estimés par une approche d’imputation conditionnelle de la densité. Un modèle synthétique de densification du stock des forêts a été testé afin d’étudier à quelles conditions sur cette densification il est possible de retracer la chronologie présumée du stock. Résultats. (1) Sur 40 ans, l’expansion en stock a été trois fois plus rapide que celle des surfaces, soulignant l’intensité de la densification des forêts, et ne présente aucun signe de saturation. Les forêts privées, et principalement les forêts feuillues, présentent les expansions de stock et de densité de stock les plus marquées, suggérant le rôle important de l’expansion naturelle et de l’abandon de terres agricoles. Les modèles statistiques révèlent l’effet positif du stock initial et des variations passées de surface sur l’expansion. (2) L’analyse des mécanismes d’expansion a mis en évidence le moindre niveau des prélèvements relativement à la croissance des forêts, et la contribution des forêts jeunes au développement des ressources. Quatre ensembles forestiers synthétiques de dynamiques distinctes et principalement composés de stocks en forêt privée expliquant l’expansion du stock sont identifiés. (3) La reconstitution du stock depuis 1850 suggère une faible densité de stock au début de la période (25 m3/ha) et une augmentation de stock de presque +300% entre 1892 et 2010, soulignant l’importance de cette expansion. Un modèle convexe a été nécessaire pour représenter la densification des forêts, attestant d’une inertie importante à la reconstitution des ressources, interprétée relativement à la baisse progressive des prélèvements ou à une reconstitution progressive de fertilité. Les analyses suggèrent enfin une évolution différenciée dans le temps du modèle de densification pour les forêts provenant de plantations. Conclusion. Ces travaux ont permis de montrer l’importance de l’expansion en stock et la nécessité de contextualiser cette expansion. Cette expansion ancienne ne montre pour l’instant aucune saturation et constitue un stock de carbone croissant qui ne devrait pas diminuer dans les prochaines décennies à conditions contextuelles identiques. L’analyse causale révèle qu’une part importante de l’expansion du stock ne constitue pas une ressource immédiatement disponible. Les futures politiques d’intensification des prélèvements doivent donc être circonstanciées et échelonnées dans le temps
Context. After centuries of decrease, the forest area of most developed countries increase, a phenomenon termed “forest transition”. While current increase in growing stock (GS) is greater than that in area, it remains far less studied. These changes are linked to major current issues. It is essential to assess these changes, to decipher their underlying causes, and to quantify them over the longer term in order to locate current forest resources on a broad trajectory and to anticipate their future dynamics. This thesis is dedicated to French metropolitan forests, which exhibit the most intensive changes in the growing stock in Europe, and relies on data from the French NFI program. Objectives. (1) Analyse forest areal, GS and GS density (GSD) changes and their spatio-temporal variations over 40 years (1975-2015). They were related to factors hypothesized to feature forest changes (geographical contexts, ownership and species composition). We screened for changes in the rate of expansion. The relationships between GS changes and some forest attributes (initial GS and GSD, recent forest area increase) were investigated. (2) Uncover the processes of GS changes and to split the GS expansion magnitude across dynamically-homogeneous forest ensembles. The study was based on GS flux estimation (growth, ingrowth, mortality and harvest). (3) Locate the actual GS expansion in a secular perspective. This analysis consisted in reconstructing the GS chronology since 1850. Levels of GS in 1892, 1908 and 1929 (associated to area of ancient statistics) were estimated using a conditional imputation approach for GSD estimation. Then, a holistic growing stock densification model was implemented to inquire the conditions required on densification patterns and magnitude to simulate the reconstituted GS chronology. Results. (1) Over 40 years, GS increases were three times faster than the areal ones, underlining the intensity of forest densification. No sign of saturation was found. Private forests, and mainly broadleaved ones, presented the greatest GS and GSD increases, suggesting the essential role of natural expansion and agricultural land abandonment. Regression models revealed the positive effect of initial GS and of recent areal increases on GS expansion. (2) The analysis of GS expansion processes evidenced the low level of harvests in comparison to forest growth, and the contribution of recent forests to wood resource development. It led to identify 4 synthetic forest ensembles contributing to the expansion and of distinct dynamics, mainly composed of private forests. (3) GS suggested a very low mean GSD at the beginning of the period (25 m3/ha) and a GS increase by almost +300% between 1892 and 2010, underlying the importance of this expansion. A convex growth model was required to simulate historical forest densification, attesting of a significant inertia in wood resource reconstitution after the forest transition, interpreted based on a gradual decrease in harvest rates for which indices were collected, or to a gradual recovery of site fertility. The analysis also suggested a distinct kinetics for GS densification in plantation forests. Conclusions. These researches reveal the magnitude of GS expansion and the importance of its analysis across forest contexts. This ancient expansion does not present any current sign of saturation and constitute a persistent carbon sink which should not decrease in the next decades assuming similar contextual conditions. According to the process analysis of GS expansion, a significant fraction of the GS increases does not constitute readily available additional wood resources. Thus, future harvest intensification policies must be contextualized and evolving in time

Abstract:
In 2005 the largely indigenous country of Bolivia elected its first indigenous president, Evo Morales of the Movement toward Socialism (MAS) Party. Morales ran on a promise of re-distributing wealth, to aid in the development of one of Latin America's poorest countries. Morales' first term in office marked a historical achievement for the indigenous movement in Bolivia, and sparked social change in the country. The government also experienced a momentous achievement through the re-writing of the Bolivian constitution, acknowledging the country's multi-ethnic and pluri-national character. Although his social, domestic and foreign policies have been controversial, particularly in the United States, Morales was re-elected to serve a second term in 2009. This research analyzes the outcomes of Morales' policy changes during his first term in office, from 2006-2009 to examine how the election of the MAS has impacted the marginalized status of indigenous people in Bolivia.

Based on radical democracy theory, the study explores the intrinsic nature of Taiwan’s national identity. First, the study tries to set up a general framework of nationalhood construction discourses, and shows its relevance and significance to the radical democracy theory. Second, the study examines the differences of “national consciousness” between the people who identify themselves as Taiwanese and those who identify themselves as Chinese. It shows that these two groups of identifiers are polarized in the dimension of “China” national consciousness but there is little difference between them in terms of “Taiwan” national consciousness. Third, based on Q-methodology analysis, we found &there is found five discernable types of national identity -- Strong Taiwan independence, Weak Taiwan independence, ROC in Taiwan, Status quo, and Two China. However, these different types of subjects have one thing in common in which they all tend to disagree on the “one China” argument. For them, the People of Republic China embodies as “they-group.” The study makes two points as conclusions. First, Taiwanese and Chinese identity is not totally opposite. Second, “Taiwanese identity” carries different meanings for different people, even for them who are in the same category of national identity. For people in Taiwan, the the national imagination is “consensus” rather than “dissonance” by its very nature. Dissonance is found to relate to the contents of identification such as cultural, historical, ethnic origins and so on. There is then more consensus in the identification with the boundary of the state.

Abstract:
AbstractIndigenous communities in colonial Spanish America used imperial law to preserve, create, defend, and expand their landholding. This chapter analyzes Indigenous claims to customary land tenure and possession in response to a Spanish imperial program of land titling known as the composiciones de tierras and other challenges to communal territory in the Ñudzahui (Mixtec) region of Oaxaca. The land titling program dovetailed with the expansion of the livestock economy, population growth, and an increase in tribute and taxes during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In a context of increasing scarcity and pressure to normalize landholding, many Native communities went to court with competing claims to land. But Indigenous pueblos also came together to create plural ownership that allowed them to pool resources and share territorial jurisdiction. Through partnership contracts—the Spanish notarial form in which plural ownership was legally instantiated—Native authorities preserved or extended the territorial expanses of their communities, challenged or whittled away at the property of powerful Native elites (caciques), and transformed customary claims into new legal rights with an eye to securing the territorial integrity of their communities for the future.

AbstractWhat does it mean to respond to the Anthropocenes, plural, when doing science education? Specifically, can we critically engage with the Anthropocene, singular, without responding to the multiplicity in which Indigenous land and its many facets within the global community were at risk of destruction from Man? In this work, we contemplate the urgency of the inclusion of Indigenous philosophies and ways-of-knowing within the arching body politic, giving space to these practices that have been otherwise silenced within and beyond Western colonial frames. We argue that if the ways of thinking and practicing science and science education continue to stem from settler colonialism, capitalism, and toxicity, having previously and continually been responsible for the erasure of Indigeneity, the response within the Anthropocene will be multitudinously harmful. Here, we turn to Dakota scholar, Kim Tallbear, (Native American DNA: Tribal belonging and the false promise of genetic belonging, University of Minnesota Press, 2013) and her work in the intersections of identity, science, settler relations, and Indigeneity with the use of provocative imagery to the innate feeling of and within the Anthropocene(s).

The data of the Russian Nation-al Corpus show the interchangeability of the forms of обоихъ – обѣихъin the 18th century texts. Differentiation by gender in the Russian plural paradigms was transferred rom the Church Slavonic dual paradigms of обою – обѣю.

Abstract:
Even within a globalizing world, Luxembourg takes an exceptional position with a foreign population of 44%. In the capital of Luxembourg, home to one-fifth of the country’s population, native members make up only 33% of the population. Outwardly the cosmopolitan diversity is praised, but how does the native population, which finds itself in the minority in its own capital, perceive this increasingly plural composition of society? To investigate this specific “majority-as-minority” perspective, we conducted a quantitative study within a Luxembourg employer (N = 507) with a large native-born workforce. We examined the endorsement of multiculturalism with an adapted version of the Multicultural Ideology Scale and the Societal Participation Subscale of the Multicultural Attitude Scale. We tested the relationships between the endorsement of multiculturalism and demographic variables and different forms of culture contact experiences. The results show that most respondents endorse the idea of a plural society. However, the results also show reluctance towards specific societal participation measures of the allochthonous population. In addition, we found a slight gender effect, with women showing higher endorsement of multiculturalism, but no age effect. Support for multiculturalism is also tied to the educational level achieved. Finally, direct culture contact, operationalized as composition of circle of friends, is also conducive to endorsement of multiculturalism. We discuss the results within an acculturation context, in which majority– minority relationships become increasingly fluid and cultural diversity is positively evaluated and accepted as a norm; conversely, specific behavioral aspects of living together are yet to be aligned.

Abstract:
Education has undergone major changes in these pandemic times. Educational technologies are a reality in educational practice, and even if a “new normal” is established, new teaching practices must remain and be re-signified. Even before the occurrence of COVID-19, the regulatory bodies of higher education already signaled in the national directives of higher education courses the emergence of the adoption of active methodologies in teaching practices. This is an announced change, but what has to be changed is the conception of the educational activity. One that builds a profile of student training aligned with the professional profiles required by the market, increasingly demanding teaching and learning methodologies that meet the process of building an entrepreneurial spirit, autonomy, a look at multidimensional processes, which take into account the pillars of knowledge: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learning to be highly demanded in our society with more plural and complex relationships.

Abstract:
This paper offers a corpus analysis of the Russian verb быть ‘be’ which has an abnormal present tense paradigm including a zero form ØBE.PRES and overt forms естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES which do not discriminate person and number and are distributed syntactically. I discuss different approaches to the grammar of быть and argue that Apresjan’s model which recognizes ØBE.PRES, естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES as parts of one and the same lemma is superior to alternative models splitting быть split into two lemmas representing copula vs content verb ‘be’. The peripheral status of overt present BE-forms compared with ØBE.PRES in the Russian National Corpus is confirmed by three measures: 1) dispersion of texts where a BE-form occurs; 2) uneven coverage in different persons and numbers; 3) ratio of copular uses vs content verb uses. 1–2 person present tense BE-forms attested in RNC are internal borrowings from Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic, while естьBE.PRES and сутьBE.PRES are inherited 3rd person elements which take over 1–2 person uses. The historical 3Pl суть is redundant in a system, where a more frequent 3rd person form есть is licensed in the plural: it survives by a minority of speakers either as an optional 3Pl copula in formal discourse or as an emphatic copula in oral discourse. The form естьBE.PRES occurs in all persons and numbers both as content verb and as copula but is underrepresented as 3Pl copula: this gap is filled by ØBE.PRES. The frequency of the zero copula ØBE.PRES can be measured in corpora without syntactic annotation on the basis of systemic proportion between present vs past tense uses of быть and on the basis of approximation samples for contexts where overt copulas alternate with ØBE.PRES.

Abstract:
Even before the formal negotiation process of the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) for membership in the European Union began, the important role that the Parliament should play in this process was highlighted. The main contribution of the Parliament to the European integration process should be ensuring the sustainability of the reforms. The Assembly is the key place for organizing a dialogue between the government, the opposition, and civil society about the far-reaching goals of the reforms that will be made in the rapprochement process. And the European Commission further emphasized that it sees the national parliaments of the countries of the Western Balkans as a link between the citizens and Brussels. Without a stable, functional, effective representative body, these challenges will not be met. In every developed democracy, the problem of the relationship between the government and the political parties represented in the parliament has always been an actual issue. The increase in the number of political forces in the parliament leads to the need to form coalitions and, accordingly, the greater the fragmentation of political interests, the more difficult it is to build consensus, which should imply an agreement between influential MPs, regardless of whether they are in the majority or the opposition. Hence, the aim of this paper is an analysis of the representation of political forces in the Macedonian parliament in the last ten election cycles through the “index of the effective number of parties” as a tool, designed to consider the problem of balance between the representation and effectiveness of the elected bodies and their dependence from the electoral mechanisms. For this purpose, first, in a theoretical sense, the typologies of party systems and the index for the effective number of parties (developed by Estonian political scientists Laakso and Taagepera) will be reviewed. Then, with the help of this index, will be determined the number of effective parliamentary parties in the past ten parliamentary compositions in RNM. The RNM is very convenient for such an analysis because in the country’s three-decade plural history different electoral models were applied – in the parliamentary elections in 1990 and 1994, the majority, in 1998, there was a mixed (parallel) model, and since 2002, a proportional model has been applied.

Introdução: O norte do Piauí é marcado por transições de Cerrado e Caatinga, sob influência pré-Amazônica, que variam de acordo com as condições geográficas. Nesta região localiza-se Murici dos Portelas, entre Mata dos Cocais e Tabuleiros Litorâneos, o que propicia diversas paisagens com alto potencial ecoturístico, que poderia ser uma importante atividade econômica na região, atualmente com baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano. Objetivo: Avaliar o potencial econômico sustentável em propriedade rural nesse município com intuito de criar uma Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) em parte da propriedade. Material e métodos: Fez-se estudo de dados oficiais e visitas ao local. Resultados: A propriedade (3°15’46.96’’S 41°57’04.25’’O) possui 52 ha e é recoberta por vegetação nativa, com exceção de 15.600 m2 anteriormente usados como pasto e atualmente em regeneração. A altitude varia de 49 a 62 m. As ameaças identificadas foram: herbivoria por gado invasor, caça, potencial para queimadas durante a estiagem, coleta de madeira, e erosão provocada por rápido escoamento de água pluvial em área descoberta. Propostas: criação de RPPN em parte da propriedade, visando apoio público e legal na proteção à Unidade de Conservação (UC), além de desconto em imposto territorial rural e possibilidade futura de pagamento por serviços ambientais; criação de centro de visitantes; desenvolvimento de atividades de educação ambiental; extrativismo sustentável com criação de produtos alimentícios regionais; articulação com comerciantes e prestadores de serviços dos arredores; cercamento da área; delimitação de trilhas e aceiros após análise florística; pesquisa científica (de biodiversidade e farmacológica); produção madeireira; estabelecimento de viveiro de mudas; criação de abelhas nativas; camping; fornecimento de área para soltura de animais silvestres, associada ao turismo de observação de fauna; orientação ao município para boas práticas na aplicação do ICMS ecológico no caso efetivo de criação de UC. Conclusão: A propriedade possui elevado potencial de preservação aliada ao desenvolvimento econômico, principalmente ecoturismo, beneficiado pelo fácil acesso por rodovias e proximidade a rotas turísticas já estabelecidas, como a Rota das Emoções. Ademais, a área transformada em RPPN viria a somar em áreas protegidas e funcionaria como um corredor ecológico entre as UCs e áreas de preservação próximas.

Abstract:
The Down's syndrome children present a serious insufficiencies at the motor and psychomotor level which have negative influences on daily life. These insufficiencies must be identified with the help of the classical tests or the apparata or devices which stress the deficit and give the solutions for education or correction. Balance represents the capacity of keeping the body in a balanced position and remarking its balance after the change of place and the solicitations with large amplitude. The Down's syndrome children have a short balance which can be evaluated with the help of the tests which enter the structure of the standard batteries (Brockport, FUNFitness developed by the American physiotherapists and applied by the Special Olympics International, a.o.) or with the help of the very precise electronic equipments. Such equipment is SMART Balance master which supplies an objective evaluation of the balance and its rehabilitation too. The evaluation and the rehabilitation of the balance is realized on a platform where the children fix their feet and it is surrounded by a visual framework can be fixed or moved depending on the test conditions. The platform and the visual framework which surrounds it are link to a computer. The computer sets the Down's syndrome children in six conditions by a specialized soft. A child receives a score for every test condition. The final result is an average of all scores that the child has obtained for all six test conditions. The result is expressed in percent. The 100% indicates a perfect balance. The research is made and published under the aegis of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Bucharest, as a partner of the programme co-funded by the European Social Fund within the Operational Sectorial Programme for Human Resources Development 2007-2013 through the project Pluri- and interdisciplinary in doctoral and post-doctoral programmes Project Code: POSDRU/159/1.5/S/141086, its main beneficiary being the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy.

Abstract:
The motor development of Down's syndrome children is slow. The different components of the motor capacity are developed gradually using practice. The education is more difficult, the progress is observed very difficulty and the decreasing of the level at which the Down's syndrome children reached is very quick. The deficit of the balance is associated with the Down syndrome too. The balance influences positively both the manner in which the children step and the possibility of changing the different directions during the movement without the children being injured. All these are possible if the balance is developed early in their life. Our research wished to evaluate the balance development at the tree Down's syndrome children using the computer equipment - SMART Balance Master. This stressed the progress obtained from the initial testing to the final testing. At the same time, it showed us the analyzer / analyzers where the development appeared after we had applied the stimulation programs (swimimng lessons) during a year. The children learnd to swim the fundamental techinque skills, freestyle and breaststroke during the stimulation programs (swimming lessons). Finally, we concluded: the family and social environment where the children grew up influnced all the activities that they practiced during the swimming lessons; the balance evaluation could achieve using the computer equipment. Which offered objective data about the level of the balance development of the children; SMART Balance Master stressed the improvement of the balance and indicated the level where the improvement appeared (proprioceptor level and vestibular level). The research was a part of a post-PhD thesis which was achieved and published under the aegis of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Bucharest, as a partner of the programme co-funded by the European Social Fund within the Operational Sectorial Programme for Human Resources Development 2007-2013 through the project Pluri- and interdisciplinary in doctoral and post-doctoral programmes Project Code: POSDRU/159/1.5/S/141086, its main beneficiary being the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy.

This study is achieved and published under the aegis of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Bucharest, as a partner in the program co-financed by the European Social Fund through the Sectoral Operational Programme for Human Resources Development 2007-2013, developed through the project Pluri- and interdisciplinary in doctoral and post-doctoral programmes, Project Code: POSDRU/159/1.5/S/141086, its main beneficiary being the Research Institute for Quality of Life, Romanian Academy. Our contribution to the project development is based on a research topic oriented towards the possibilities of interdisciplinary intervention on the diabetic child, in the context of the permanent concerns of the diabetes care team to keep under control the evolution of this diagnosis. The objective of the present paper is to highlight the opportunity for the child with type 1 mellitus diabetes of using the continuous glycemic monitoring system (CGMS) also during the development of physical education programmes, not only in domestic and school activities, as a support tool for adjusting the effort parameters and reducing the risk of hypoglycemia. The research took place within the Bucharest National University of Physical Education and Sports, in cooperation with the Bucharest DiabNutriMed Clinic of Diabetes, in the period between October and December 2014. As research methods, we used: bibliographic study, observation, computerized devices for continuous glycemic monitoring- DEXCOM G4 Platinum and also the case study. In this paper, we present the case of a diabetic child aged 6 years, who was diagnosed with this metabolic disease at 2 years and 6 months and who has been benefiting of a CGMS for about 2 years. His involvement in physical exercise programmes is put under the sign of the major risk of hypoglycemia, given the pronounced tendency of his body to have low glycemic values. The advantage of the electronic device he permanently carries, regardless of the type of activity performed, must also be emphasized in the case of his participation in motor activities, the more so as physical effort is a blood glucose-consumer. CGMS allows the teacher to find the initial, intermediate and final glycemic values without using the glucometer under conditions of precarious hygiene. Then, depending on the glycemic value displayed on the device screen during practice, the teacher chooses the physical exercises and establishes the effort dosing. In this way, the glycemic value that threatens the child's functional state is identified and the administration of carbohydrates in due time is facilitated, by reducing the risk of hypoglycemia and preventing the hypoglycemic coma. In conclusion, we appreciate as efficient the utilization of continuous glycemic monitoring systems in the case of physical exercise performed by the child with type 1 mellitus diabetes and we encourage the specialists in physical education and sports to get involved without reticence into the development of motor activities with this category of population.

Such linguistic uncertainties or "cases of doubt" (cf. i.a. Klein 2003, 2009, 2018; Müller & Szczepaniak 2017; Schmitt, Szczepaniak & Vieregge 2019; Stark 2019 as well as the useful collections of data of Duden vol. 9, Taaladvies.net, Språkriktighetsboken etc.) systematically occur also in native speakers and they do not necessarily coincide with the difficulties of second language learners. In present-day German, most grammatical uncertainties occur in the domains of inflection (nominal plural formation, genitive singular allomorphy of strong masc./neut. nouns, inflectional variation of weak masc. nouns, strong/weak adjectival inflection and comparison forms, strong/weak verb forms, perfect auxiliary selection) and word-formation (linking elements in compounds, separability of complex verbs). As for syntax, there are often doubts in connection with case choice (pseudo-partitive constructions, prepositional case government) and agreement (especially due to coordination or appositional structures). This contribution aims to present a contrastive approach to morphological and syntactic uncertainties in contemporary Germanic languages (mostly German, Dutch, and Swedish) in order to obtain a broader and more fine-grained typology of grammatical instabilities and their causes. As will be discussed, most doubts of competent speakers - a problem also for general linguistic theory - can be attributed to processes of language change in progress, to language or variety contact, to gaps and rule conflicts in the grammar of every language or to psycholinguistic conditions of language processing. Our main concerns will be the issues of which (kinds of) common or different critical areas there are within Germanic (and, on the other hand, in which areas there are no doubts), which of the established (cross-linguistically valid) explanatory approaches apply to which phenomena and, ultimately, the question whether the new data reveals further lines of explanation for the empirically observable (standard) variation.

Abstract:
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 mandat¬ed the research and management of the nation’s deep-sea coral resources through establishment of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra¬tion’s Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program. The challenge for Alaska was daunting, where expansive, world-class fisheries often coincided with extraordinarily rich coral habitats for a high-latitude region. The first chal¬lenge was to inventory known locations of deep-sea corals. Many coral records and some museum collections existed from Alaska, but the taxonomy of cor¬als was little studied and field iden¬tification of corals was problematic. Formal bycatch programs and research activities in recent decades provided many more specimens for taxonomic study, but guides to species were largely incomplete, inaccurate, and outdated given the fast pace of species discovery in Alaska. We provide a comprehen¬sive, up-to-date guide, detailing 161 coral taxa identified from museum collections, primary literature, and video records. Each profile includes a description, images for each taxon, taxonomic history, biology, ecology, geographical distribution, and habitat, including depth distribution. Corals are found in the six regions of Alaska but the coral fauna of the Aleutian Islands is by far the most species rich. The state of taxonomy for some coral groups is ex¬cellent, while others require additional collections and more taxonomic work. Construction of this guide resulted in descriptions of several antipatharian species, published separately from this guide (Alternatipathes mirabilis, Bathypathes alaskensis, B. ptiloides, B. tiburonae, and Parantipathes pluma) and the scleractinian Flabellum (Flabel¬lum) oclairi Cairns, sp. nov. described herein. The guide provides informa¬tion for targeting new collections and identifying areas of high abundance and indicator species of vulnerable marine ecosystems. Stakeholders can now more adequately assess Alaska’s coral resources and risks from natural and anthropogenic stressors.
