Abstract:

As the World Trade Organization (‘WTO’) faces what may be an existential crisis and considers options for structural reform, a fundamental issue it needs to examine is maintaining its relevance for the business community. Recognizing that businesses are a key stakeholder in the system of global trade, one aspect of ensuring this relevance is continued and improved engagement with the business community. This article explores and recommends one possibility for such engagement: utilization of the World Economic Forum (‘WEF’). The WEF prides itself on thorough stakeholder engagement, and arguably provides a more holistic representation of business community views. Although limitations to this notion are considered in the article, it is ultimately argued that the WTO should consult the WEF more regularly regarding matters of international trade regulation policy. In doing so, the WTO would be taking advantage of the WEF’s expertise, its existing investment into research and collaboration with major corporations, academics and government officials, as well as its unique structure that allows it to consider upcoming issues in an agile and adaptable manner. After considering stakeholder engagement structures in other fora, this article recommends an institutionalized mechanism to ensure repeated, systematic collaboration and accountability between the WTO and the WEF.

Abstract:

In Flanders (Belgium) and in the Netherlands, confessional religious education (RE) as organized in publicly recognized and state-funded schools has often been criticized. The main criticisms are that confessional RE in general, and Islamic RE in particular, has an outdated pedagogy, while its content does not fit in contemporary Western society. In Flanders and in the Netherlands, many teachers of Islamic RE struggle with the question how confessional Islamic RE can, both pedagogically and with regard to content, be faithful towards the Islamic tradition and at the same time connect with contemporary Western society. In this contribution, the author argues that an integrative perspective on Islamic pedagogy, with particular attention for the rich hermeneutical tradition in Islam, could transcend this dichotomy.

Abstract:

A conceptual framework for looking and listening operates within aesthetic and affective moments when crafting objects. Assembling and modifying Sea Balls into arranged composition is my craft process that I use to access a state of mind play. Each found and modified object represents a key theoretical framework that I connect and re-organize in relation to each other to produce new ways of perceiving. Considerations of Massumi, Fish and Jameson’s (2002) notion of perception and how I experience affect through embodiment in the moment of re-crafting and re-assembling items is central to the practice. Emergent ideas occur through re-crafting found objects in conjunction with broader considerations of relational aesthetics.

Kettle, Patricia. "Motivations for Investing in Allotment Gardening in Dublin: A Sociological Analysis." Irish Journal of Sociology 22, no. 2 (November 2014): 30–63. http://dx.doi.org/10.7227/ijs.22.2.3.

Full text

Abstract:

In recent years, Dublin has witnessed a demonstrable rise in urban agriculture (UA) initiatives. Allotments and community gardens are emerging in abundance in the city and on its perimeter. Traditionally, allotments were associated with older men and lower socio-economic groups. However, recent practices indicate a significant shift in the traditional demographics engaging in practice. Those investing are increasingly younger, from the middle classes, and include more and more women. But what is motivating practice? What has caused this shift? And why are professionals in an advanced capitalist society choosing to cultivate food in and around the contemporary urban metropolis? Drawing on empirical investigations in Dublin between 2011 and 2013, this article argues that the revival of the urban allotment in Dublin after many years of abeyance represents a form of resistance to the dis-embedding processes associated with late and post modernity, and an explicit attempt by urban dwellers to (re)connect with traditional forms of knowledge, the land, and practice (food production systems), but primarily to (re)connect with others, to generate a sense of community, and to restore a sense of belonging in the city.

Full text

Abstract:

The contemporary global consumptionscape is characterized by a vast array of global economic, technological and cultural flows. These flows connect different consumer cultures in complex ways. One outcome of global cultural flows is the re-appropriation of cultural practices in their places of origin after a process of sanctioning in (most often) the western hotbed of consumer culture production. In this paper we explore how the crossing and re-crossing of boundaries has fundamentally transformed the practices and ideas behind local consumption practices in the Indian marketplace; specifically, yoga. We uncover six ways in which middle class yoga consumers in India interpret glocal yoga as it becomes a fashionable practice: yoga as a resource management technique, yoga as a health practice, market oriented yoga, global yoga, global yoga as cultural domination, and yoga as national heritage. We discuss the implications of this re-appropriation process for our understanding of marketplace globalization.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to contribute to research on the interrelations between urban tourism, travelling and landscapes. It shows how young visitors to the tourism-reliant city of Arusha, northern Tanzania, experience and interpret discomfiting encounters with street sellers by drawing on stereotypes circulating in guidebooks, online forums and in the tourism industry. In turn, such re-interpreted encounters are increasingly seen as problematic for the city’s development of urban tourism. Design/methodology/approach The author draws on extensive ethnographic fieldwork with tourist-product street sellers in Arusha and Moshi, Tanzania in 2015–2017. With detail-oriented focus on social interaction and communication, the author has used participant observation and interviews to understand the perspectives and actions involved. Complementing this, the author draws on interviews with tour companies and local authorities to connect everyday occurrences with broader political, economic and urban transformations. Findings This paper explores the interrelation between changing urban landscapes, gentrification and burgeoning urban tourism by highlighting not only how streets are created and sought to be re-created but how also re-interpreted stories and stereotypes fundamentally influence how it is understood by local authorities. As the consumption of place, shopping and foreigners’ experiences take centre stage in Arusha’s urban development project, practices and people that are re-interpreted as causes of discomfort, become objects of ordering and discipline. Originality/value This paper emphasizes that the social encounters beyond dichotomies of host–guest relationships are a fruitful and important means of investigating how “encounters” connect space to power, the street to urban planning and mundane on-the-street interactions to processes of transformation and gentrification. This paper presents a reading of “landscapes” not as a text, but as a series of encounters that catch our attention when and where they break our norms, or the norms of others.

Abstract:

The essay calls for a re-imagining and reshaping of colonial constructs. It concisely encapsulates the history of the Grand Trunk Road (GT Road), from the 16th century when it was referred to as ‘Sadak-e-Azam’ to the late 19th century, when the road was completed under the administration of Lord William Bentinck and was renamed as ‘The Grand Trunk Road’ to contemporary times when it connects multiple cities with National Highways as part of the Golden Quadrilateral project and remains a ‘continuum’ that covers a distance of over 2,500 kilometres. While highlighting its importance in terms of its criticality as a geopolitical/strategic connect, the essay concludes on the note that there is much more to the GT Road than being a mere logistical, infrastructural tool. It serves as a political and cultural connect as well as embodies a way of life and these historic and organic connections require reinforcement. The essay underlines the symbolic value of the GT Road, while it comprises the mainstay of commerce in the subcontinent but, at the same time is significant in terms of rearranging social and political hierarchies, in other words, it constitutes an intrinsic part of the broader narrative of the south Asian space.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents an integrated planner based on rapidly exploring random tree (RRT) for an assembly task with possible re-grasping. Given multiple grasp poses for the part to assemble, the planner chooses candidate grasp poses considering the environment (including the partially finished assembly) in addition to the initial and final poses of the part. Orientation graph search based re-grasping approach is proposed for part manipulation which is needed when there is no feasible grasp solution for a part between its initial and final poses. Orientation graph search helps finding a series of the intermediate poses of the part needed between its initial and final poses so that robot can grasp and assemble it without interfering the pre-assembled parts. Then while extending the tree, the algorithm tries to connect the tree to a robot configuration with a chosen candidate grasp pose. Also, since the task space undergoes changes at each step of the assembly task, a node or edge in the tree can become in collision during the assembly of later parts, making the node in collision and its descendant nodes disconnected from the whole tree. To handle this, Two stage extended RRT strategy is proposed. The disconnected parts of the main tree are put into forest, and attempts are made to re-connect the tree in the forest to main tree while extending the main tree, thus making it possible to use the disconnected part again. The algorithm is implemented in Linux based system using C++. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated experimentally using UR5e robot manipulator by assembling the soma puzzle pieces in different 3D formations.

Abstract:

Abstract Unpaid caregivers provided approximately 83% of the care for the 6.2 million Americans aged 65+ who were living with Alzheimer’s dementia in 2021. Physicians and other health professionals are not well informed about dementia-related community resources and rarely refer patients/families despite strong evidence which supports incorporating community services as part of an ongoing treatment plan. To bridge this gap, partnership with community agencies is essential. The Alzheimer’s Association’s “Direct Connect” referral program is provider-initiated and connects patients/families with disease information, care consultations, support groups, a 24/7 Helpline, and other resources. As part of the Wisconsin Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program award from HRSA (U1QHP28712) 1,023 health professionals working in Wisconsin hospitals and primary care clinics were trained to use Direct Connect. Our educational intervention re-framed dementia from a hopeless disease to a chronic condition requiring supportive services as a necessary component of the disease management plan. Results of a paired-samples t-test (n=675) indicated our educational intervention had a significant impact on trainees' self-reported pre/post-test knowledge in both hospitals [t(444) = -34.67, p < 0.001, d = 1.64] and primary care [t(229) = -24.63, p < 0.001, d = 1.62]. By the end of the 5-year project period, Direct Connect referrals totaled 1,352 and the program grew from less than 50 referrals to 290 annually. While these results are promising, Direct Connect remains underutilized and initiatives to further increase referrals from providers must be expanded.

Full text

Abstract:

Amongst a range of changes that have taken place within tertiary education, perhaps the most revolutionary has been a shift to student-centred approaches focused on life-long learning. Accompanying this approach to holistic higher education (HE) has been a growing interest in, and understanding of, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). SoTL has, at its core, a deep concern with student learning and is therefore well-aligned with higher education’s renewed focus on its students. In this conceptual paper, we examine the impact of the T-shaped person which many tertiary institutions are operationalizing to inform and connect the development of students’ deep disciplinary knowledge with non-academic and employment readiness skills (such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking). Importantly, we argue for a re-positioning of SoTL to complement and support this model, with SoTL as both the fulcrum and the fluid, multiple threads of discourse that are intricately entwined around the structure of the T-shaped model. We encourage our colleagues to strive to be T-shaped practitioners and we cast a vision of a T-shaped community. Here, all stakeholders within HE connect both their academic knowledge and holistic skills in collaborative ways to produce learners who flourish in modern society. The SoTL community plays a pivotal role in achieving this vision and is well-positioned to expand the current notion of SoTL toward a more holistic, interconnected, central role in HE.

Abstract:

Abstract There is considerable evidence that suitable preparation for the Erasmus experience can make a significant difference to students. Often, however, institutions have to battle to provide in-depth pre-departure training, and re-entry events or training are too seldom available. Following Erasmus there is rarely space in the curriculum of the home university for reflection, assessment and the integration of the experiences and multi-faceted learning that took place abroad. This article argues that the challenge is therefore to integrate meaningful reflections and assessment into more traditional modules, such as literature-based ones. Accordingly, this article presents some options of how to integrate re-entry reflections in the form of a module on travel literature as well as a voluntary re-entry module that can be offered to returning students irrespective of their course of study. Components of the Erasmus+ CONNECT training programme serve as an example of training material.

Abstract:

Complexity, heterogeneity, interdependency and, especially, evolution of system/services specifications, related operating environments and user needs, are more and more highly relevant characteristics of modern and future software applications. Taking advantage of the experience gained in the context of the European project Connect, which addresses the challenging and ambitious topic of eternally functioning distributed and heterogeneous systems, this paper presents a framework to analyse and assess dependability and performance properties in dynamic and evolving contexts. The goal is to develop an adaptive approach by coupling stochastic model-based analysis, performed at design time to support the definition and implementation of software products complying with their stated dependability and performance requirements, with run-time monitoring to re-calibrate and enhance the dependability and performance prediction along evolution. The proposed framework for adaptive assessment is described and illustrated through a case study. To simplify the description while making more concrete the approach under study, the authors adopted the setting and terminology of the Connect project.

Abstract:

In this paper I examine how responses to COVID-19 by Ghana�s creative arts communities shape public understanding of the pandemic. I focus on comedy, music, textile designs, and murals created between March and August 2020, through frameworks of the social psychology of everyday knowledge and arts and health. The art forms perform three functions: health promotion (songs), improving environmental aesthetics (murals), and memorialising (textile designs). Similar to arts-based interventions for HIV and Ebola, Ghanaian artists translate COVID-19 information in ways that connect emotionally, create social awareness, and lay the foundation for public understanding. Artists translate COVID-19 information in ways that connect emotionally, create social awareness, and lay the foundation for public understanding. Some offer socio-political critique, advocating social protection for poor communities, re-presenting collective memories of past health crises and inequitable policy responses, and theorising about the Western origins of COVID and coloniality of anti-African vaccination programmes. I consider the implications for COVID public health communication and interventions.

Multistage switching networks play important role in communication and computer network. They make communication nodes connect to each other. In computer hardware switches connect processors and memories. Initially, switches are arranged as one stage interconnection. As clients are growing, multistage is a must. The finding Clos multistage switching initiated multistage technologies. Benes improves Clos by reducing number of cross-points by using a 2 x 2 switch element and call re-routing. Batcher improves the technology by other way which is sorting destination address. Banyan is then joined to Batcher to simplify routing control. This paper analyses the number of cross-point required in Clos, Benes and Batcher Banyan to accomplish multistage switching architecture of 16, 64, 256, 1024 and 2048 input/output ports. As results, Clos cross-point is in averages 495.24% higher than Benes and 160.30% higher than Batcher Banyan. Clos blocking probabilities are closed to zero. Benes blocking probabilities are conditionally zero. Batcher Banyan blocking probabilities are zero.

Abstract:

This article explores practices of community-based energy justice activists in Johannesburg. Against the background of municipal corporatization of electricity delivery in the wake of the postapartheid state’s neoliberal policy turn, residents of the urban periphery organize to ward off cost-recovery measures and illegally (re)connect to the grid. Informed by theories of critical urban studies on the South, this article situates activists’ practices historically and discusses the limits of their strategic claims with a view to their inextricable relation to the state.

Abstract:

This paper reports on the re-development of our MA curriculum in design. Main objective of this development is a more practice- and project-based MA Curriculum that delivers connective competences for the collaboration across disciplines, rather than specializing in a specific design domain. For design education, we therefore propose a re-visited model of T-shaped skills by proposing the Y-shaped Designer, who acts in collaborations across disciplines thanks to a disciplinary root, a clearly perceived role and the ability to generate multimodal design outputs. The paper’s discussion is based on a study of the current shift in the Swiss Creative Economy, an alumni survey, a literature review focusing undisciplinarity and a series of expert-workshops, that led to the identification of the required skills our graduates need to successfully connect with a globalizing creative economy. First results are a re-definition of the competences and learning goals targeted in the new curriculum, as well as a set of didactical approaches extending the curriculum to what is meant to become a real-world lab for MA students in design.

"On the night the The Hungry Tide was screened on Māori Television in New Zealand, our family was having a farewell party for our relatives returning to Kiribati the next day. We sat cross-legged on a mat in a circle while women prepared meals for everyone... of course our family members were going to watch the 'movie' rather than a documentary. They were going to re-connect their memories of Kiribati through this film. Not suprisingly, climate change and sea level rise are already a disaster on the minds of these people."

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper we explore the relationship between religious education and the public sphere, suggesting that religious education, if it takes its educational remit seriously, has to be orientated towards the public sphere where human beings exist together in and with the world. Rather than seeing religion as propositional belief, we argue for an existential approach that focuses on the question as to what it means to exist religiously. We offer educational and theological arguments for our position and, along both lines, seek to (re)connect religion and religious education to the idea of democracy.

Abstract:

Counselors can help families of transgender or gender nonconforming youth adjust after a child or adolescent expresses differences in gender identity. We propose a community based narrative group therapy which may increase family cohesion and acceptance within the changing family dynamic. The program is psychoeducational and experiential, lasting eight sessions, and begins with psychoeducation about transgender individuals and heteronormative societies. It culminates in re-authoring and witnessing the family’s story in a manner which honors the youth’s gender identity. We propose this program as a strategy for helping practitioners connect diverse LGBTQ+ families with other families experiencing similar transitions.

Abstract:

The ‘Crofting Connections’ (Ceanglaichean Croitearachd) project is described in this article as an exemplar of the prescribed ‘Scottish approach’ to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Drawing upon the evaluation of this project an argument is made for increased attention to such initiatives that seek to (re)connect children with issues of community, heritage, land and place. In doing so, we also call for a reconceptualization of crofting in academic discourse and in the curriculum. While crofting is a specifically Scottish phenomenon, this may be of interest to readers in other nations with similar small scale agricultural traditions.

To understand the distribution of the alkylene bridge bonds which connect aromatic moieties and utilize coal effectively, Shenfu coal (SFC), its solvent extraction fractions and carbon disulfide (CS2)/tetrahydrofuran (THF) inextractable matter (RE) were subject to ruthenium ion-catalyzed oxidation (RICO). The results suggest that the carbon number of the alkylene bridge bonds range from C0 to C30 and that dominant alkylene linkage are C2 and C3 in SFC, a,w-diarylalkanes are soluble in a CS2/THF mixed solvent, whereas highly condensed aromatic species in SFC show poor solubility in the CS2/THF mixed solvent.

Abstract The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is the most important lay movement in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, yet it has received scant academic attention. After describing the start of the CCR, I discuss its expansion into Latin America, its self-understanding, outsider criticisms, responses of national bishops’ conferences, and two country case studies based on my first-hand ethnographic fieldwork: Nicaragua and Paraguay. I end with some general conclusions, chief of which is my analysis of the CCR as a globalized revitalization movement that aims to (re)connect individual Catholics to the Roman Catholic Church.

The paper starts from the basic assumption that genres are socially linked, and shall refer to those circumstances in which language changes due to historical, social and cultural factors, maintaining the need for a structural perspective with sets of rules stressing the right genre interpretations, yet focusing on language functional use in defining discourse in institutional settings. Therefore, we shall discuss elements such as time, space or protagonists which contribute to language change. The paper aims to explain how such controlling factors will connect language-genre-discourse in institutional settings, delimiting specific genres by forcing language change to (re)adapt to new contexts.

Abstract This case study extends Elligan’s (2000, 2004) Rap Therapy model to explore the pedagogical usefulness of contemporary rap music. Methodologically, the authors borrow the testimonio from Latina Feminist Scholarship, to explore the ways in which young people participating in a summer literacy program analyzed their lives and the world through rap music; how rap music supported their healing; and how rap music was used as a pedagogical tool. Over the course of four months the co-authors of this study created and analyzed 17 co-written testimonios for their generative themes. The authors conclude with a presentation of The (Re) mix—a rap-centered pedagogical framework. The (Re) mix is made up of three, interconnected pillars. One, contemporary rap music (re)tells the experience(s) of the dispossessed. It helps shift the blame for oppression in the world towards the structures of society. Second, contemporary rap music (re)affirms young peoples’ existence. It provides them with an imaginative environment to imagine a more just world. Third, contemporary rap music (re)stores our humanity. It is a tool to name, connect, and move beyond our pain, creating a context for healing as individuals in a collective society. The authors hope that findings of this study empower other educators to infuse contemporary rap music into their pedagogies as a method for students to better read and write the world, adding to the body of knowledge related to critical media literacy.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to examine some Anglophone and Francophone writings produced by Arab women writers, namely Fadia Faqir, Leila Aboulela, and Assia Djebar, whose recent novels reveal an unremitting recall to the past to connect the self to the present and future in relevance to home/homeland. In Faqir’s (2014) Willow Trees Don’t Weep, Aboulela’s (2011) Lyrics Alley, and Djebar’s (2002) La Femme Sans Sépulture (The Woman Without a Burial Place), these writers point out their concern with gender, trauma and identity; wherein the memory joins the imaginary to resurrect the past and rekindle its vividness. Then, this paper endeavors to show the way “home” as an object of quest is figured in these writings in order to conceptualize a locus of identification for Arab women. It also touches on some issues relevant to the portrayal of home/homeland, the quest for newly-established spaces and voices in terms of exile, traumatic memories, patriarchy and matriarchy. It seeks then answers to the central question as how these writers of the diaspora would re-cognize the fragmented subjects’ voices, re-present their in-between spaces, and re-identify their home (s) in the selected narratives. .

Abstract:

In this article, I offer a somatic process to non-movers at home during the COVID-19 lockdown. These participants also offer reflections on their individual experience post-moving. As a facilitator, I invite you to take part in this process, whether you are a dancer or non-mover (whatever your age or ability). The process focuses on self-regulation and interoceptive awareness, allowing the time and space to connect with Self. Self-regulation and interoceptive awareness are two of the most important aspects of somatic movement in supporting free-flowing movement and balancing the nervous system. Self-regulation in turn can produce a sense of agency – meaning a sense of autonomy and release within the body can occur. In line with cultural pressures experienced within society, somatic processes can ease the anxieties of everyday life. Inviting Self into a practical, felt process is sometimes what we need in order to re-evaluate our positioning and perceptions within the world. As human beings we often find ourselves in stressful and challenging situations that ultimately affect the body’s nervous state and our relationship with Self. We currently find ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic, and opportunities to connect with Self in creative, communal ways are hindered. I am offering this article as a way of communicating my appreciation and passion for somatic work during this pandemic. As a Ph.D. student studying somatic movement dance education and therapy, I deeply recognize it is important to be connected with community and others, as well as my own inner sphere. Connection produces a sense of optimism during this time. This article offers a simplistically detailed, yet effective process that locates and contacts Self within our feeling, sensing organism. As we begin to re-connect with our energy and interoceptive awareness, a physiological shift can be experienced. When we drop our awareness within the vitality of the moving body, a change in consciousness can occur. Using breath awareness as an inroad to sensing internal processes, I offer this practical process to you, inviting you to cultivate an inner essence of gravity, breath, ground and body.

Abstract:

There is a strong focus to connect theory with practice in initial teacher education (ITE). This discussion paper explores how we shifted teaching modes and assessment tasks in light of the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) when digital technologies were unexpectedly catapulted to the main delivery mode for the preparation of future teachers. During this time, connecting theory to authentic practice became a complicated issue. Globally, teacher educators were faced with the challenge of providing authentic learning opportunities for ITE without the ability to be physically present in school and classroom environments. Tertiary institutions were swiftly and unprecedently required to re-think and re-imagine their pedagogical practices. This change affected the self-efficacy and confidence of many academics who were underprepared for this major shift in teaching as they created, transitioned and implemented online material for their students under strict timelines. Our reflections in this paper present a guide and example for others to follow.

Abstract:

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes have a great potential to be used as cost-effective and efficient repairing and re-manufacturing processes for aerospace components such as turbine blades and landing gears. The AMOS project intends to connect repair and re-manufacturing strategies with design through accurate DED process simulation and novel multi-disciplinary design optimisation (MDO) methods. The ultimate goal is to reduce aerospace component weaknesses at design stage and prolong their lifecycles. DED AM processes are multi-physical phenomena involving high laser power melting powder or wire on a substrate. An experimental heat source has been calibrated using a heat transfer analysis of IN718 laser and powder AM on a sample part. Residual stresses and final distortion are also computed using thermal field and the evolving part distortion at each increment. Multiple hypotheses have been considered model the molten pool creation on the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ).

Full text

Abstract:

Widely used in hydraulics, the Colebrook equation for flow friction relates implicitly to the input parameters; the Reynolds number, Re and the relative roughness of an inner pipe surface, ε/D with an unknown output parameter; the flow friction factor, λ; λ = f (λ, Re, ε/D). In this paper, a few explicit approximations to the Colebrook equation; λ ≈ f (Re, ε/D), are generated using the ability of artificial intelligence to make inner patterns to connect input and output parameters in an explicit way not knowing their nature or the physical law that connects them, but only knowing raw numbers, {Re, ε/D}→{λ}. The fact that the used genetic programming tool does not know the structure of the Colebrook equation, which is based on computationally expensive logarithmic law, is used to obtain a better structure of the approximations, which is less demanding for calculation but also enough accurate. All generated approximations have low computational cost because they contain a limited number of logarithmic forms used for normalization of input parameters or for acceleration, but they are also sufficiently accurate. The relative error regarding the friction factor λ, in in the best case is up to 0.13% with only two logarithmic forms used. As the second logarithm can be accurately approximated by the Padé approximation, practically the same error is obtained also using only one logarithm.

Abstract:

This work deals with the structural analysis of screw clamps for external fixator devices. Screw clamps are widely used in external fixators as a means to connect the half-pins to the fixator body. The analysis is carried out by both numerical and experimental techniques, based on the case study of a clamp produced by Citieffe (Bologna, Italy). As a preliminary activity, the tribological parameters involved in the screw–clamp interaction have been characterized by means of a mixed finite element analysis and experimental procedure. Then, an assessment of the current design of the clamp has been carried out. A re-design has been proposed, which, based on some targeted geometrical modifications, allows achieving higher strength requirements with the same overall dimensions and type of materials. A higher load-bearing capability for a given size may allow the fixator to be used on a broader population. Finally, a list of good practices for the design of this kind of clamps has been proposed.

With reference to COVID-19, exemplars sourced from social media platforms and relevant organisations demonstrate the remarkable creative brilliance of young people. During these difficult times, young people used song, dance, storytelling, and art to express themselves, (re)connect with others, champion social change, and promote health and wellbeing. This article demonstrates the power of positive organisational arts-based youth scholarship to understand how young people use art to redress negativity via a positive lens of agency, peace, collectedness, and calm.

Abstract:

Christian teachings on ‘sin’ have met a number of barriers in their historical encounters with the East Asian context. However, since the end of World War II, indigenous Christianities in China, Japan and South Korea have experienced growing interests in this hated doctrine. ‘Sin’ has become a valuable category to address the existential concerns found in those societies. This has developed in an East Asian discourse about intellectual foundations and, in certain instances, has resulted in a revival of Christian belief. This paper will discuss the development of this rediscovery and connect it to a re-evaluation of millennia-old understandings of the existence of evil.

Nunangat pedagogies concern the adoption of teaching practices informed by relationships with land, water and ice. In this article, the researcher examines an opportunity to disrupt Global North dominance in the Inuit homeland through engagements with fox. Nunangat methodologies require consultations with Elders and hunters especially concerning knowledge that is not accessible via the Internet or at the library. A rhizomatic analysis is used to connect the presentation of the various research narratives and analysis of encounters with fox. These strategies are employed to facilitate occasions to re-conceptualize early childhood practices in ways which enable recognition of the vitality and viability of local Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
