Full textAbstract:
"Casting the Sacred" examines the material culture and storied environment associated with African American engagements with the unwritten scriptures of the Yoruba Ifa tradition of West African origin, and offers a compelling case for expanding conventional notions of scriptures. This essay builds on the work of historians of religion who take a relational approach to the study of scriptures, placing the focus on the people and their engagement with sacred texts as cultural practice and system of meaning-making. Showcasing the diviner as the chief orchestrator of the storied environment, this work draws attention to the set of personal scriptures derived form Oracular utterances. It also notes the physicality of bodies, shells, divining chains, palm nuts, floor mats, and notebooks, all of which are significant aspects of "reading," a means of accessing and engaging a form of sacred knowledge which clients incorporate into their lives.

Full textAbstract:
Child labor negatively affects children’s learning and futures if it lowers their chance to acquire math and reading skills. However, work outside of school could also provide an alternative path to adult socialization and material welfare where schools do not provide such a path. In Latin America the possible development of skills from work is not only an academic question, but also a critical point bearing on policy, because many children and youth divide their time and energies between both schooling and work. This article contributes to the debate about the net impact on academic achievement among children who both work and study during sixth grade. The article reports analysis of data from the TERCE survey of students and families in fifteen Latin American countries. OLS regression estimations suggest there is no level of paid or unpaid out-of-school work that is not associated with lowered academic achievement. HLM estimates controlling for school quality also show a negative association between work and proficiency in math and reading.

Full textAbstract:
Third-, sixth-, and college-grade level students participated in an on-line reading task that incorporated both a naming latency and a subsequent cued-recall memory requirement. Following reading of a complete sentence, latency for naming a target word was measured in which the target word was either (a) a repetition of a word in the previous sentence, (b) an associate of a word in the previous sentence, (c) inferable from the integrated meaning of words in the previous sentence, or (d) unrelated to words in the previous sentence. Increased speed was found for naming words presented in the repeated, associated, and inferred target conditions as compared to the unrelated word condition. In each case, the observed facilitation effect was of greater magnitude for the younger readers. In the cued-recall task, single-word cues resulted in better recall memory performance when the cue had been explicitly presented in a prior sentence as compared to cues which were only inferable from previously read material. Results were interpreted in terms of context effects which extend beyond sentence completion boundaries and in terms of developmental differences in automatic expectancy and semantic integration effects.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses modern audioformats – audiobook, audio series and audio podcast. Now these formats have gained great popularity and demand, considerable market weight with their own segment, the growth of which experts note. The research material is audio products of the modern market, which reflect the trends in the development of audio literature in the current media environment. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the consideration of an audiobook, an audio series and an audio podcast in the context of a new stage in the development of audio culture. The problem of popularity of the studied audio products is considered in direct dependence on audio reading. It is understood as a modern modification of auditory reading, as a reader’s practice due to the qualitative changes in the material and technical base for creating audio records, for their copying and use. The analysis of audio formats in the informational, sociocultural and cognitive aspect of the modern media consumption allows the determination new editorial approaches to the work with audio texts. Conclusions are as follows: one can observe the tendency to transit from voicing printed texts to creating texts specially for voicing; there is a reduction in the novel form, stories become popular; the editing of audio books and audio series requires support from sound design principles; the editorial and director’s task on preparing podcasts is associated with the compositional alignment of several voices of storytellers, forming a single ideological and thematic field.

Full textAbstract:
The problems associated with the use of fiction as a means of forming the worldview of students of a technical university are analyzed in this article. The place and role of fiction in the formation of the per-sonal value system are indicated, as well as the con-ditions for its use in work with Russian-speaking and foreign students are formulated. Based on the results of the study, the authors identify the prob-lems associated with the perception of this type of didactic material. They offer the most effective teaching technologies for the use of fiction in a technical university, indicate their advantages over other teaching aids and formulate specific recom-mendations for their use in the educational process. It is summarized that the low level of reading culture and the lack of formation of the skills of literary and artistic analysis of works among students of tech-nical universities reduce the level of assimilation of educational material, including causing difficulties in identifying axiologically significant information. Overcoming the emerging difficulties is facilitated by the use of multimedia presentations and tests, which make it possible to activate the educational and cognitive activity of students and create an emotional mood favorable for mastering the human-itarian content among students of technical univer-sities.

Full textAbstract:
Thomas' paper and manuscript are ambitious. He aims at nothing less than opening up for discussion fundamental concepts which have informed archaeological writings to date. While in principal laudable and exciting, the chosen concepts – time, culture and identity – are broad, each one on its own of daunting complexity. The vastness of the project is handled by setting up an opposition at the outset between the Cartesian and modernist reading of these concepts adopted by archaeology and an anti-Cartesian and anti-modernist reading facilitated by Heidegger. At issue is less the validity of Heidegger's writings or their deployment in contemporary theory-making, a fact which the author is at pains to defend, though leaving the novice at pains guessing what his writings are actually about; at issue is whether the future of archaeology should rest on developing an anti-Cartesian theory in the first place. The mind/body dualism associated with Descartes has been the subject of much critical work, so much so that it seems at best unnecessary to have to revive Heidegger to give Cartesianism the final blow. One may further question the opposition itself; is it not Kant who is the foundation of post-Enlightenment thought, rather than Descartes, and would thus not his writings be the point of departure for any rethinking of theoretical assumptions that may have guided archaeological theory and practice? A third reservation may be voiced about the validity of the interpretative approach itself; it rests on the assumption, also known as the logocentric paradigm, which holds that a relation exists between an object or image and a narrative description of it which is ‘found’ outside the object and thus may vary according to the context in which the object is seen. The most serious criticism to this assumption is that it ignores the immediacy of understanding which allows images to play a fundamental role in social transmission. Thomas' use of Heidegger's notion of Being appears to strive towards precisely such an immediacy of understanding, yet fails to do so by leaving accounted for the materiality of images. In advocating the interpretative approach, Thomas sets out less a new direction for archaeological theory than captures post-modernist writing which dominated across disciplines for the past decade and left a whole generation of scholars trained during this period ill-equipped to deal with artefacts in more than an exemplary manner. In the late 90s, however, due to advances in cognitive psychology and our day to day experience with cyberspace, this neglect of the image, material and conceptual, and its role in transmission has become glaringly obvious and unacceptable. Critical in their inception, however, paper and manuscript are intently thought provoking, stimulating and timely in calling for a rethinking of archaeological theory to accommodate the contemporary perception of material things. In my discussion I aim to both paraphrase the main points of Thomas's paper and manuscript and to offer comments and questions.

The article considers the work of the Department of Library-Information Resources (LIR) of the East-Siberian State Institute of Culture (VSGIK), aimed at supporting the reading of young people. The purpose of this article is to reveal the experience of the Department of Library-Information Resources in the implementation framework of the project “Self-realization of young people in the journalistic creativity as the basis of psychological preventive health care”. The authors consider the stages of project implementation: conducting the contest of journalistic materials, publication of miscellany containing the best journalistic works of pupils of secondary schools, distribution of miscellany in school and university libraries of the Republic of Buryatia, implementation of different preventive events with VSGIK students and school pupils basing on the publication materials. The authors characterize the expert evaluation of competition works of pupils of senior school, based on the use of qualitative and quantitative criteria. The contest was held in two categories: “Best analytical materials” and “Best information materials”. The article describes the results of voting in the nomination “Popular vote Winner” in the social network “Vkontakte” on the VSGIK official web page. The authors describe the stage of work associated with publication of miscellany “On the threshold of adulthood: reflections of schoolchildren on literature, creativity and life”, which includes 28 competition works.The article highlights the most interesting works of senior school students, rich in reasoning, reflecting the emotional state of person, empathy for the main characters and clearly expressed life positions. The miscellany received feedback from library staff of the Republic of Buryatia, Irkutsk Region, Trans-Baikal Region, which gave high assessment of the overall level of published materials and emphasized the wide readership of the publication. Based on the feedback of library specialists and school pupils, the article concludes about the main results of the project: there were created interesting creative works containing the authors’ arguments and reference to their own, though small life experience. Students revealed the role of book in their lives and disclosed how the book forms the personality of a person.The authors present the quantitative and qualitative indicators of project performance. Distribution of the miscellany in 368 school libraries of the Republic of Buryatia makes it possible to ensure its wide application in the educational process.

Full textAbstract:
In his works on natural sciences, primarily in the Physics, Aristotle focuses on different forms of metabolē and distinguishes movement in general from substantial change. The On generation and corruption deals with the latter. When reading this treatise, one should pay particular attention to the concept of mixture. Apart from being the subject of a specific chapter (I 10), the problem of mixture permeates the whole work. But what exactly is mixture? Is it a simple combination of small parts? Can a compound of water and wine be called mixture? If so, is this mixture and nothing more? In the course of the discussion, it is argued that the Aristotelian idea of mixis does not correspond to the concept that is usually associated with it. Rather, it is shown that mixis is fundamental for comprehending the physical world and constitutes not only the term per quem the first elements of all material bodies originate, but also plays a fundamental role in all natural sciences, particularly, in biology.

Full textAbstract:
Through an examination of the geological, political, cultural, industrial and aesthetic aspects of work by Nicholas Mangan and Therese Keogh, this article argues for a reading of these artworks in relation to histories that are both human and nonhuman. In the case of Mangan's various artworks, exploring the mining of phosphate on Nauru, the dynamic encounter activates both the long history and material core connecting colonial legacies to contemporary political events. Works by Keogh and Mangan perform a geo-dermatology, taking up Deleuze's challenge for artists to be symptomologists in that they survey disfigurements, investigate lesions, analyse abrasions and their associated dynamics. In each case they draw on specific geological aspects of a region that connect its topography with historical and economic forces registered in subjective and social assemblages. These works connect multiple forces that make evident that the surface of the earth is not so much a limit as a membrane of exchanges. It is the capacity of this surface to register the passage of forces that these artworks call attention to, a confrontation of forces that the Anthropocene marks.

Full textAbstract:
Stagonospora nodorum leaf blotch is an economically important foliar disease in the major wheat-growing areas of the world. In related work, we identified a host-selective toxin (HST) produced by the S. nodorum isolate Sn2000 and determined the chromosomal location of the host gene (Snn1) conditioning sensitivity to the toxin using the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative mapping population and cytogenetic stocks. In this study, we used the same plant materials to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to fungal inoculations of Sn2000 and investigate the role of the toxin in causing disease. Disease reactions were scored at 5, 7, and 10 days postinoculation to evaluate changes in the degree of effectiveness of individual QTL. A major QTL was identified on the short arm of chromosome 1B, which coincided with the snn1 toxin-insensitivity gene. This locus explained 58% of the phenotypic variation for the 5-day reading but decreased to 27% for the 10-day reading, indicating that the toxin is most effective in the early stages of the interaction. In addition, relatively minor QTL were identified on chromosomes 3AS, 3DL, 4AL, 4BL, 5DL, 6AL, and 7BL, but not all minor QTL were significant for all readings and their effects varied. Multiple regression models explained from 68% of the phenotypic variation for the 5-day reading to 36% for the 10-day reading. The Chinese Spring nullisomic 1B tetrasomic 1D line and the Chinese Spring-Triticum dicoccoides disomic 1B chromosome substitution line, which were insensitive to SnTox1, were more resistant to the fungus than the rest of the nullisomictetrasomic and disomic chromosome substitution lines. Our results indicate that the toxin produced by isolate Sn2000 is a major virulence factor.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to describe from a didactic point of view how teachers work with reading aloud and reading comprehension strategies. This is based on the fact that if the teacher does not always involve reading strategies in reading that develop students' reading comprehension, it can lead to reading difficulties. At the end of third grade, a goal is also for pupils to have developed a basic reading comprehension. There is also a lack of research on Swedish reading education. In this study, the following questions are based: What reading comprehension strategies does the reading aim to develop among pupils and how do teachers reason about their teaching? Do teachers use a working material when they teach reading aloud, and how do teachers reflect on it? The survey is based on observations and an interview and teachers' speech documents. The theoretical framework of the study builds Barbro Westlund's teori on reading aloud and reading comprehension strategies. The results of the survey show that the reading is a working method and reading comprehension strategies are included. Teachers need to discuss new word meaning and let pupils predict what the text will be about by looking at the title and the book's illustrations. The teacher should allow pupils to summarize and discuss questions that the text may have raised with the pupil. The pupils should also be involved by connecting the text to their own experiences and answering thought-developing questions. This can make it easier for the teacher to start reading on the basis of a work material that has a clear connection to reading comprehension strategies in order to be able to conduct a teaching where more pupils develop a basic reading comprehension at the end of year three.

This work seeks the emergence of the Solidarity Economy in Brazil as an alternative proposal for production of existence due to the loss of formal jobs for workers. The use of new technologies that save labor, work in the productive sectors of the economy and the opening of the internal market to competition with foreign companies resulted in loss of formal jobs and a challenge for workers seek alternatives for the production of their material existence . The solidarity economy is then presented as alternative proposal of another economy, based on values and principles antagonistic to capitalism, given the inability of traditional programs for generating employment and income to solve the unemployment crisis. This proposal gains relief from the encouragement received by intellectuals and rulers and shall be incorporated within the state, trade unions and civil society organizations. Expose the appearance of the phenomenon of solidarity economy, presented mainly by its greatest representative in Brazil. Paul Singer, as this phenomenon is in some of its main tangible in Brazil and Maranhão; investigate how Marx treated the phenomenon of recovered factories and cooperatias, and analyze, under this perspective, what elements in these experiments indicate points of overcoming and limits to the capitalist mode of production.
Este trabalho pretende situar a emergência da economia solidária no Brasil como proposta alternativa de produção da existência diante da perda de empregos formais por trabalhadores. O emprego de novas tecnologias poupadoras de mão-de-obra nos setores produtivos da economia e a abertura do mercado interno à concorrência com as empresas estrangeiras acarretou em perdas de empregos formais e um desafio para os trabalhadores buscarem alternativas para a produção da sua existência material. A economia solidária se apresenta então como proposta alternativa de uma outra economia, pautada em valores e princípios antagônicos ao capitalismo, diante da incapacidade dos programas tradicionais de geração de emprego e renda em resolver a crise do desemprego. Esta proposta ganha relevo a partir do fomento recebido por intelectuais e governantes e passa a ser incorporada dentro do Estado, sindicatos e sociedade civil organizada. Exporemos a aparência do fenômeno da economia solidária apresentada, principalmente, pelo seu maior representante no Brasil, Prof. Paul Singer; como este fenômeno se apresenta em algumas de suas principais manifestações concretas no Brasil e no Maranhão; investigaremos como Marx tratou o fenômeno das fábricas recuperadas e cooperatias; e analisaremos, sob esta perspectiva, quais elementos nestes experimentos indicam pontos de superação e de limites ao modo de produção capitalista.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur arbetet med läsförståelse behandlas i tre läromedel i svenska för årskurs två. Utifrån syftet formulerades tre forskningsfrågor: Vilka olika läsförståelsestrategier förekommer i elevernas arbetsbok? Vilka kunskapskrav motsvarar arbetsbokens uppgifter som är kopplade till läsförståelsestrategier? Hur beskrivs lärarens roll och arbetssätt i lärarhandledningen kopplat till arbetet med läsförståelsestrategier? I studien genomfördes en innehållsanalys av läromedlen. Studien utgick från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande, vilket innebär att lärande ses som socialt och situerat där språket är ett viktigt verktyg för att utveckla kunskap. Detta perspektiv har använts i analysen med fokus på hur undervisningen beskrivs i läromedlen. Resultatet av studien visar att i två av läromedlen förekom de flesta av läsförståelsestrategierna som beskrivs i aktuell forskning. Uppgifter förekom även som tränade alla delar av kunskapskravet för årskurs tre i svenska kopplat till läsförståelse (Skolverket, 2018). I ett läromedel var fokus främst på en strategi och en del av kunskapskravet vilka var överrepresenterade i arbetsboken. Lärarens roll beskrevs på liknande sätt i alla läromedlen. Slutsatsen blir att inget läromedel är komplett och att läromedelsanalyser behövs för att veta vad undervisningen behöver kompletteras med.The aim of this study was to investigate how reading comprehension is dealt with in three teaching materials in Swedish for grade two. Based on the aim, three research questions were formulated: What different reading comprehension strategies occur in the students' workbook? What knowledge requirements correspond to the workbook's tasks that are linked to reading comprehension strategies? How is the teacher's role and way of working described in the teacher's guide linked to the work on reading comprehension strategies? The study carried out a content analysis of the teaching materials. The study assumes from a socio-cultural perspective on learning, which means that learning is seen as social and situated where the language is an important tool for developing knowledge. This perspective has been used in the analysis with a focus on how the teaching is described in the teaching materials. The result shows that in two of the teaching materials most of the reading comprehension strategies from current research was included. Assignments also existed that trained all parts of the knowledge requirement for grade three in Swedish connected to reading comprehension (Skolverket, 2018). In one teaching material, one strategy and one part of the knowledge requirement were over-represented in the workbook. The teacher’s role was basically similarly described in all teaching materials. The conclusion is that no teaching material is complete, and that teaching materials analysis is needed, to know what the teaching needs to be supplemented with.

My purpose in this paper is to study teachers' work in reading and writing in primary school and special school. I want to find out if they use the same methods, strategies and materials to help students learn to read and write. I will find out the answer to my purpose by performing two qualitative observation and two qualitative interviews. Lundberg (2010) is the researcher I relate to during my study. Through observation, I see how teachers work with students in the classroom during a lesson in the Swedish language. During the interviews, I received answers to how teachers work with language, the materials, methods and strategies they use. I found out that teachers use specific strategies when they help their students. They use a work material that is tailored to curriculum in Swedish language and it is based on the phonics method.Mitt syfte med detta examensarbete är att undersöka lärarnas arbete i läsning och skrivning, i grundskolan och särskolan. Jag vill ta reda på vad de använder metoder, strategier och material för att eleverna ska lära sig läsa och skriva. Jag kommer att ta reda på svaret på mitt syfte genom att utföra två kvalitativa observationer och två kvalitativa intervjuer. Mitt arbete stödjer sig på forskare, framför allt på Lundberg (2010). Genom observationen fick jag se hur lärarna arbetar med eleverna i klassrummet under en lektion i svenska. Under intervjuerna fick jag svar på hur lärarna arbetar i svenska, vilka material, metoder och strategier de använder sig av. Jag fick reda på att lärarna använder sig av speciella strategier, att de inte ger eleverna svar på sina frågor direkt, utan ställer följdfrågor till eleven, för att de ska få eleverna att klara det själva. Pedagogerna använder sig av ett arbetsmaterial som är utformat utifrån kursplanen i svenska som utgår ifrån ljudningsmetoden. Samt annat material som strävar mot kursmålen.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis deals with problems of depression in older people. Mainly the work is focused on identifying and analyzing the role of nurses in screening for depression in older people in primary care, acute care, long-term care and home care. This thesis was focused on theoretical direction and was used the method of design and demonstration. In this thesis was set one main goals with five research questions. The main goal was to identify and analyze the role of nurses in screening for depression in the elderly. RQ 1: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in the elderly? RQ 2: What is the role of the nurse in the primary care in screening for depression in the elderly? RQ 3: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in hospitalized patients in acute care? RQ 4: What is the role of the nurse in screening for depression in seniors in long-term and home care? RQ 5: What rating scales and methods are used in screening for depression in the elderly? The thesis introduce the concept of depression. The following are specified the causes of and the important factors that affect depression in the elderly. It also deals the differences in the clinical symptomatology of depression in old age. It explains possibilities and various barriers in the diagnosis of depression. Another chapter introduces complete geriatric examination, diagnostic classification systems, possible screening methods and scales for detection of depression in the elderly population. It also deals methods of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and its possible complications associated with older age. By reason of increased suicide rate caused by depressive disorder the issue of suicidal behavior in the elderly is introduced. The next chapter deals with the nursing process, which is used by nurses in practice. It consists of the evaluation of the patient's health condition, making nursing diagnosis, creating nursing plan and subsequent implementation and evaluation. The nursing process is also needy for providing quality care. The nursing process in the stage of nursing diagnosis, introduces possible nursing diagnosis for a patient suffering from depression, which are based on the latest classification. Finally is described the role of nurses in screening for depression in the elderly in different health facilities and their contribution to the timely evaluation of depression in the elderly. This chapter introduces the role of nurses, nursing screening and collaboration with a physician. The role of nurses in screening for depression in different medical facilities is based on the first phase of the nursing process of assessment. On the basis of objective and subjective information, the nurse will assess the overall health and mental condition of the patient. Primarily, it was investigated what is the role of the nurse in screening for depression. On the basis of content analysis and synthesis it was necessary to used and processed domestic and foreign literature. A number of relevant sources are the results of various studies and Meta-analyzes, mostly from abroad, but also from the Czech Republic. The thesis can serve as a basis for nurses. The result of this thesis is to create e-learning material available for students in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice in the tutorial called Moodle.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this book is to shed new light on the connections between the islands of the Odyssey, setting aside the common perspectives which fully contrast Ithaka to the isles of Odysseus’s travels. Indeed, on a close reading, the idea of ‘otherness’ frequently associated to these isles can be perceived as the result of shared traits. The book first offers an introductory survey on the studies about islands and insularity (not only) in the Odyssey. Then, it analyses how and in which terms the Odyssean representations of the islands are elaborated by means of references to the characters’ senses and actions. These representations are frequently parts of archipelagos of memories, and all bear witness to the fact that fantastic and realistic traits are intermingled and can permeate each other on all the Odyssean islands. Thus, the isles of these travels can be perceived as marginal and mixed places which are also meaningfully part of the archipelago of thematic and formal relations which links all Odyssean islands. The second section of the book examines this archipelagic scenario by using the concepts of utopia and heterotopia. The section shows how the islands of the Odyssey and, especially, the islands the hero encountered on his travels should not be considered utopias in the strict sense of the word. It then goes on to show how M. Foucault’s heterotopia can help to highlight a series of insular aspects, which, otherwise, could pass unnoticed. These lands stand at the margins of the world of the Odyssey and are, at the same time, connected to all the other islands. As a result, they work like mirrors which reflect images of different and possible worlds. In particular, the Odyssean isles of women mirror different and possible relationships between Odysseus and the lady of the island and help to enlighten the place which the hero perceives as the perfect home among all the possible choices. Finally, a brief analysis of the prophecy about the hero’s future last adventure shows that there is no chance of Odysseus feeling at home on that ‘other’ place of this last journey.

Full textAbstract:
Christina Rossetti: Poetry, Ecology, Faith suggests that the life and works of Christina Rossetti offer a commentary on the relationship between Christianity and ecology. It counters readings of her as a withdrawn or apolitical poet by reading her Anglo-Catholic faith in the context of her commitment to the nonhuman. Rossetti considered the doctrines and ideas associated with the Catholic Revival to be revelatory of an ecology of creation in which all things, material and immaterial, human and nonhuman, divine and embodied, are interconnected. The book focuses on her close attention to the Bible, the Church Fathers, and Francis of Assisi to show how her poetry, prose, and letters refused the nineteenth-century commodification of creation and declared it as a new and shared reality kept in eternal flux by the nondual love of the Trinity. In chapters on her early involvement in the Oxford Movement, her relationship to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Franciscan commitment to the diversity of plant and animal life through her anti-vivisection activism, and green reading of the apocalypse as transformative rather than destructive, the book traces an ecological love command in her writing, one she considered it a Christian duty to fulfil. It illuminates Rossetti’s at once sensitive and keenly ethical readings of the place of flora and fauna, stars and planets, humans and angels in creation, and is also the first study of its kind to argue for the centrality of spiritual materialism in her work, one driven by a prevenient and green grace.

Full textAbstract:
Modernist literature is inextricable from the history of obscenity. The trials of such figures as James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, and Radclyffe Hall loom large in accounts of twentieth-century literature. Filthy Material: Modernism and the Media of Obscenity reveals the ways that debates about obscenity and literature were shaped by changes in the history of media. The emergence of film, photography, and new printing technologies shaped how “literary value” was understood, altering how obscenity was defined and which texts were considered obscene. Filthy Material rereads the history of modernist obscenity to discover the role played by technological media in debates about obscenity. The shift from the intense censorship of the early twentieth century to the effective “end of obscenity” for literature at the middle of the century was not simply a product of cultural liberalization but also of a changing media ecology. Filthy Material brings together media theory and archival research to offer a fresh account of modernist obscenity with novel readings of works of modernist literature. It sheds new light on figures at the center of modernism’s obscenity trials (such as Joyce and Lawrence), demonstrates the relevance of the discourse of obscenity to understanding figures not typically associated with obscenity debates (such as T. S. Eliot and Wyndham Lewis), and introduces new figures to our account of modernism (such as Norah James and Jack Kahane). It reveals how modernist obscenity reflected a contest over the literary in the face of new media technologies.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reads closely one of Shakespeare’s most complex, elusive poems. Although obscurities are explicated, the primary aim is not to gloss difficulties but to provide a sustained analysis of the poet’s use of the resources of structure, form, rhyme, syntax, and diction. The focus is on the experience of reading ‘The Phoenix and Turtle’ as it unfolds. But due attention is given to what the writing owes to classical and medieval bird poems, to changing attitudes to ritual (and particularly to funeral rites) brought about by the Reformation, and to material features of Robert Chester’s Loves Martyr (1601), the book in which Shakespeare’s poem was first printed. The relevance is also shown of the conventions that came to govern early modern poems about death—a topic more fully explored in the associated, background chapter, ‘Shakespeare, Elegy and Epitaph: 1557–1640’.

Full textAbstract:
Reclining quietly with a book; an ear glued to the Hi-Fi; sifting a library stack; the TV flickering; a website gone live… Few poets have inspired such remarkable scenes and modes of interpretation as Dylan Thomas. Our means of access and response to his work have never been more eclectic, and this collection sheds new light on what it means to ‘read’ such a various art. In thinking beyond the parameters of life writing and lingering interpretative communities, Reading Dylan Thomas attends in detail to the problems and pleasures of deciphering Thomas in the twenty-first century, teasing out his debts and effects, tracing his influence on later artists, and suggesting ways to understand his own idiosyncratic reading practices. From short stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to war films, manuscripts to paintings, the material considered in this volume lays the ground for a new consideration of Thomas’s formal versatility, and his distinctive relation to the many kinds of media that constitute literary modernism.

Full textAbstract:
Lancelot “Capability” Brown was one of the most influential landscape designers of the eighteenth-century at a time when Britain was changing radically from an agrarian to an industrial and colonial nation, whilst Europe was periodically convulsed by war and revolution. The extent and nature of his influence are, however, fiercely debated. Brown worked at hundreds of important sites across England and his name became synonymous with the “English Garden” style which was copied across Northern Europe and entranced Catherine the Great, who remodelled her landscapes in St Petersburg to reflect the new style. He was fêted in his time, and recognised by the Crown, but Brown’s style was readily copied over his later life and particularly after his death. Arguably, this ubiquity led to the denigration of his achievements and even his character, particularly by the agents of the Picturesque. The lack of any personal primary material from Brown - forcing scholars to rely on his landscapes, contracts and bank accounts - has hindered attempts to provide a rounded and credible account of the man and his works. However, by exploring his team of associates and his role as Royal Gardener, new light can be thrown on the man, his landscapes and his landscape legacy. Bringing together a number of perspectives from across Northern Europe, Capability Brown, Royal Gardener explores the lasting international impact of Brown. With Brown’s position as Royal Gardener at its heart, this book explores for the first time his business methods, working methods and European influence. It assesses how, crucially, Brown’s work practices placed him within the world of nurserymen and landscape designers, and how his business practices and long term relationships with draughtsmen and designers allowed him to manage a huge number of projects and a substantial financial turnover. This, in turn, allowed him to work in a way that promoted and advanced his style of landscape. Edited by Professor Jonathan Finch (University of York) and Dr Jan Woudstra (University of Sheffield), and with a varied range of engaging contributors drawn internationally from archaeology, art history, history and landscape architecture, Capability Brown, Royal Gardener weaves together strands from across a broad range of disciplinary interests. It makes an important contribution to the scholarly discussion of Brown’s work, the work of his collaborators, and legacy in the UK and across Northern Europe. Relevant to students and academics at all levels, this volume throws new light on Capability Brown and his impact on the business of place-making in Northern Europe.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHominin tracks represent a unique window into moments in the life of extinct individuals. They can provide biological and locomotor data that are not accessible from skeletal remains. However, these tracks are relatively scarce in the fossil record, particularly those attributed to Neandertals. They are also most often devoid of associated archaeological material, which limits their interpretation. The Palaeolithic site of Le Rozel (Normandy, France) located in a dune complex formed during the Upper Pleistocene has yielded between 2012 and 2017 several hundred tracks (257 hominin footprints, 8 handprints as well as 6 animal tracks). This ichnological assemblage is distributed within five stratigraphic subunits dated to 80,000 years. These subunits are rich in archaeological material that attests to brief occupations by Neandertal groups and provides information about the activities that they carried out. The ichnological assemblage discovered at Le Rozel is the largest attributed to Neandertals to date and more generally the most important for hominin taxa other than Homo sapiens. The particularly large number of footprints can provide major information for our understanding of the Palaeolithic occupations at Le Rozel and for our knowledge of the composition of Neandertal groups.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the character of early jihād has been the focus of much scholarly effort. The relationship between those fighting and the political power of the caliph, the notion of the obligation and appropriateness of continued fighting and the role of the renunciant tradition among early fighters, especially those who become associated with the scholarly classes, are all issues that have drawn attention. 1 The challenges in tackling these issues are many and are primarily related to the limited number and nature of the early sources available to us to clarify the matter. Two early texts that focus on legal aspects of the Qurʾān comprise sources that have not yet been fully tapped in discussing these questions. One work is by Muqātil b. Sulaymān, who died in 150/767 and, while the text in question, Tafsīr al-Khams Miʾat Ā ya min al-Qurʾān al-Karīm, may have achieved its final form later in the second or even the third hijrī century, it represents some of the earliest Qurʾānic exegetical material we have available. The second work is by Abū ʿUbayd, who died in 224/838, and is devoted to abrogation in the Qurʾān (and, to a lesser extent, the Sunna), entitled Kitāb al-Nāsikh wa-l-mansūkh.

Full textAbstract:
A summary account of women’s book ownership patterns during the seventeenth century. Although much work is now ongoing to understand the extent of female book ownership and reading in the early modern period, the documentary record is unbalanced. This chapter brings together many kinds of evidence—contemporary lists, inscriptions, bookplates, bindings, inscriptions, wills—to provide an overview of women’s book ownership during the seventeenth century. Women interfacing with books was widespread, not restricted to the closets of gentry ladies, and cultural historians keen to see women’s reading as controversial or subversive are overstating the case. Subject coverage of women’s libraries is explored, noting the high proportion of devotional and English language material typically found, alongside a wider range of books which may be also be associated with women.

Full textAbstract:
Consider a graded stepwise approach to return to school, analogous to the strategy for return to play. This requires coordination with teachers, administrators, school nursing/medical providers, parents, and often classmates. The steps include mental rest, light cognitive activity (e.g., reading familiar material), moderate cognitive activity (e.g., new material in the student’s strongest subject), back to school with accommodations and extra rest, back to school without accommodations, catch up on missed work, then resume extracurricular activities. For complex concussions, reduce barriers to optimal cognitive performance, such as sleep disorders, headache, depression, and anxiety. There is no point in trying to return to school when any of these are substantially impairing. Reduced cognitive activity is associated with faster resolution of concussion-related symptoms, but complete cognitive rest is not necessary. Patients do not have to be completely symptom-free to return to school and to light exercise. Consider using a quantitative measure such as the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF).

Full textAbstract:
The final chapter consolidates the implications of the foregoing argument for the interpretation of early modern literature, in part by returning to the start of the story, in Shakespeare; but it approaches Shakespeare by way of an eighteenth-century phenomenon: the rise of works of “character criticism” represented for example by William Richardson’s essays. Eighteenth-century character criticism has long been seen as a new way of reading Shakespeare, even the intrusion of something foreign to Shakespeare’s plays. The word for that foreign element is often “psychology,” especially as allied to reading practices associated with the novel. This chapter argues that the real roots of character criticism lie in much older theories of the passions. The psychology at work is not nearly as new as has been claimed, as can be seen by contrasting Richardson’s essays with one of the books he cites: Edmund Burke’s treatise on the sublime and beautiful. The chapter then circles back to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, arguing that Shakespeare’s plays already contain the elements of a psychology: an externalist psychology grounded in rhetoric and its account of the circumstantial mimesis of actions as an instrument of the knowledge of the passions. Shakespeare’s plays could become the material for a science of the passions because in some sense they already were: instances of a circumstantial knowledge of the passions produced according to principles first theorized by rhetoric, which themselves shaped the new sciences of the mind that developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the water system elements from twenty-five ancient Greek sites. The elements are grouped (as in the comparative case-studies of Chapter 15) into eight main categories, with that of “fittings and auxiliaries” subdivided into seventeen kinds of elements. Although 25 sites times 8 categories times 17 elements is 3400 possible combinations, which is more than we have room to discuss in a limited work like this, from a statistical point of view such numbers are trivial. However, scientists have recently been working with the concept of “clusters” in cases like this one where the assortments are too few for applying the methods of statistics (see H. Blalock, Causal Inferrence in Non-Experimental Research.) What they look for are combinations that seem to recur in meaningful patterns. One can think of a partially ordered set, where the order is apparent within categories but not over all of them. Bathtubs, for instance, can be arranged in groups of like form, but distinguishing between large bathtubs and small plunge pools may be difficult. Alternately, one may know the relative order of categories, but not their absolute magnitude. An example here is A, not knowing a language at all; B, being able to read the language; C, speaking and reading the language fluently. At what point does B grade into C? It’s a judgment call. Throughout this book I have approached the material with an eye to what we can determine using irregular and “messy” data, and this concept of clusters has enabled me to appreciate the significance of the combinations of elements that have been observed at different places, times, and by different excavators, even when the number of examples is few. Both the objects found together in clusters, and the certainty of finding them together, vary. For instance, settling or catchment basins (Figs. 16.2, 16.3) are always associated with pipes or channels to facilitate drainage. The ditch and bench supports for a latrine are frequently associated with a sewer under the street outside the building, but sometimes with a cesspool instead.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the literary presence of a declamatory device: the reference to mythical heroines to express the paradigm of conjugal fides. It takes its starting point from the analysis of the sections of some controversiae quoted in Seneca the Elder’s anthology. The use of mythological exempla is a common practice both in rhetoric and in poetry and the customary quotation of these in Latin literature seems to manifest the influence exerted by the declamation schools and the rhetorical education a Roman would receive. In particular, comparison between passages of the rhetoricians (Arellius Fuscus, Triarius, Clodius Turrinus) and those quoted above reveals stylistic correspondences and compositional patterns that become authoritative for later authors. The influence of declamation is also significant in a number of passages on faithful wives in Ovidian poetry, the writings of the younger Seneca, the letters of Pliny the Younger, Martial’s epigrams, and Claudian’s poetry. The presence of declamatory influence in such a great variety of literary works confirms the notion of Seneca the Elder’s anthology as a collection in which the frontiers between declamatory inventio and literary material are allowed to blur.

Full textAbstract:
The initial investigations reported here offer some broad lessons from the analysis of a specific example. Application of the techniques and results in the Los Alamos case to other areas or cases would require modifications, and even the conclusions about plutonium in the Northern Rio Grande are more first approximations than final answers. After reviewing the lessons of the Los Alamos work, this chapter summarizes some of the natural scientific lessons, with particular reference to the changing Northern Rio Grande and some observations about the interactions between natural science for plutonium and the associated public policy and politics surrounding the issue. Because this work is a beginning rather than an ending, this chapter concludes with some speculations on the future of plutonium in the Northern Rio Grande. The lessons from the particular case of Los Alamos and the Rio Grande extend far beyond northern New Mexico. As a “test bed,” the laboratory, its plutonium releases, and the data-rich Rio Grande provide generalizations useful to researchers, monitors, regulators, decision makers, and managers of other systems and locations. This chapter reviews these lessons as two distinct groups: general guidelines and specific sediment-sampling procedures. First are several general guidelines that should direct any effort at assessing the plutonium system of a river affected by industrial-waste disposal, an accidental release during transportation, or distribution from a nuclear detonation involving surface materials or from atmospheric fallout. Second, because of the overriding importance of sediment in the transport and storage of plutonium, several specific procedures should be followed when sampling soils and sediment, to ensure accurate interpretations of the results. A refined sampling and monitoring program for plutonium in sediment should be driven by a philosophy that has the following general principles. 1. Obtain an accurate inventory of sediment-bound plutonium at the source location. If the source of contaminated sediments in a river system is a known mass, such as a well-defined waste-disposal site, a tailings accumulation, or another readily measured mass of material, a reasonable estimate of the total inventory of plutonium in the source is possible.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter argues that reading is portrayed in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Ps.-Demetrius, and Ps.-Longinus as an experiential process dependent upon the smooth or rough quality of both objects and words. It focuses on two material surfaces which recur in ancient descriptions of Homer’s austere method of composition—first wool, which is tangled, unworked, and a mix of the material and ethereal; then stone, whose unhewn surface slows down and burdens the hands of Polyphemus and Sisyphus in the Odyssey. Drawing on the work of both Herder and Shklovsky on aesthetic perception, the chapter argues for an ancient understanding of reading based on a haptic model of contemplation, wherein a word’s weight or texture mimetically and temporally interacts with the events being narrated.

Full textAbstract:
Classical approaches to the modeling of welding, whilst accurate, are not readily usable in the industry. The time and cost associated with running such models appear to be the main reasons contributing to the situation. The use of computer simulative techniques has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of welded fabrications by allowing for predictions to be made long before a single weld bead is put down on the workshop floor. In this paper, a computational procedure is presented to analyze temperature fields during TIG welding process using a non linear transient thermal analysis in ANSYS [1]. Various phenomena associated with welding like temperature dependent material properties, effects of latent heat of fusion are accounted for in the model. The heat loss through radiation and effect of shielding gas are neglected here. This work has considered only a 2D analysis considering axis symmetric model. The analysis was done on AISI 304 stainless steels. The effect of welding conditions on the weld microstructure is studied over a range of heat input values and welding speed and the columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) is investigated. The influence of the welding conditions is related to changes in temperature gradient G, and local solidification velocity R, at the solid-liquid interface along the weld pool edge. It was observed that increase in the welding speed increases the equiaxed fraction. The effect of alloy composition on CET was neglected during this study. The results of finite element analysis were compared with experimental results and were found in good agreement. Based on these studies, a simplified modelling procedure of reasonable accuracy was proposed.

Full textAbstract:
The Design of Machine Elements course is one of the most difficult and complicated courses in the Mechanical Engineering program. It requires inventive concept generation, the knowledge of geometrical design, and basic knowledge of stress and deformation analyses. On those three elements, the machine elements design philosophy is established and further developed. The course material has to be chosen carefully since the time constrains will allow to cover design of only few essential machine elements. The material is covered by lectures, textbook readings, homework problems, and design projects. In addition to the textbook content the course contains five special elements: Idea Generation, Safety Considerations, Design of the Day (DoD), a Designer’s Liability study, and three projects including Final Project – Shaft Design. In the Idea Generation project, students generate an idea of machine or mechanical device. The Safety Consideration project is done by inspection and documentation of unsafe elements on campus. The Shaft Design Project had students design a shaft system under given constrains. In DoD students present existing advanced machines chosen using different sources or their own industrial internship experience. The Liability assignment addresses the designer’s legal responsibility in case of a defective product that caused an injury or accident. The material taught in the course is larger than conventional machine element design course. The elements added that are beyond the structural analysis bring better understanding of engineering problems during the Senior Design course and later during engineering practice. They allow the students to connect the theory with the real world of engineering challenges. This gives students more satisfaction during the learning process and cognitive benefits during engineering practice. The unconventional inventive design approach of the teaching team (course instructor and GTA) to problem solving is based on many years of instructor’s experience in teaching of engineering problem solving and design. The learning pattern in which students work in teams, both in problem solving and in design exercises, also helps to conduct the course. Thanks to all these elements the learning experience of the course is unique and engaging despite the high level of difficulty associated with it.

Full textAbstract:
Friction stir processing (FSP), an offshoot from friction stir welding (FSW), is an intricate operation that involves refining the material by a rotating tool. Active control of the resulting size and distribution uniformity of grain structure is desirable. Achieving such a control across the processed area requires real-time control of the process input variables in order to control the pertinent state variables (e.g., temperature, strain, and strain rate) throughout the process. Many active control schemes typically used in friction stir processes (such as position-, speed-, force-, and torque-control schemes) require the utilization of dynamometers to provide feedback to the control loop. Many drawbacks are associated with such utilization including the complexity of the required instrumentation and control systems. Another complexity is the required rigidity of the machine tool needed to perform friction stir processes. In this work, we advance the notion of eliminating the usage of dynamometers by using the readily available motor current signals from the NC machine tool in the computer numeric control (NC) machines. This approach would drastically reduce the cost of FSP machine retrofitting. Presented in this work are guidelines for the implementation of affordable automation of CNC milling machines to perform friction stir processes. The guidelines are demonstrated by retrofitting a vertical machining center with current transducers to replace the usage of a dynamometer. The current transduces were tapped on the output of the drivers of the spindle and the z-drive motors. A custom LabVIEW software program was developed to control the machining center via direct numeric control mode and to monitor current signals which were in turn, correlated to the generated forces. To demonstrate the methodology, friction stir processing was performed on magnesium alloy sheets for a wide range of process parameters. The tool rotational speed was varied from 600 RPM to 2000 RPM and the traverse feed from 75 mm/min to 900 mm/min. Current signals were monitored during frictions stir processing and were related to the process forces which were measured using a 4-component dynamometer. Linear relations between thrust force and torques with current signals of the spindle and the z-drive motors were established and the signal to noise ratio for each correlation was investigated. It was found that the current spindle signals are highly correlated to the process torque where results can be used in a torque control loop without the need for expensive dynamometers. To a lesser extent was the correlation satisfactory between thrust force and z-drive motor signal due to bad signal to noise ratio.

Full textAbstract:
This research work investigated the use of multi-material bird models for accurately predicting bird impact loads. Numerical simulations carried out using the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) technique of LS-Dyna showed excellent correlation with the experimental results. The multi-material bird models of this work are more rigorous than in any previously published work, and include a realistic bird shape. Each material model was distinct, having its own density value (different from the other materials) and an associated equation of state. Results indicated that using a multi-material bird with various combinations of materials permits better correlation with experimental results.

Full textAbstract:
Localized corrosion often occurs when regions of a single material demonstrate a difference in electrochemical potential. Cathodic and anodic regions can develop in a component comprised of a single material. This variation is one cause of localized corrosion damage. This phenomenon of localized anode and cathode regions is well documented but not well understood. In this work the authors are examining variations in electrochemical response of individual grains within a metallic material. The objective is to determine if the distinct electrochemical response associated with austenite and ferrite phases in steel are sufficient to create a localized electrochemical corrosion cell. In this paper the authors present the first of a series of models that capture localized electrochemical corrosion driven by variations in grain polarization response.

Full textAbstract:
The worldwide share of oil&gas produced from offshore sources is constantly increasing. Accordingly, deep and ultra-deep water projects go to ever increasing depths. Large diameter pipes for this type of projects are often manufactured by the UOE process. After the cold work associated with UOE forming, mechanical properties of pipe material are different from those of the original plate. In particular, the circumferential compression behavior is markedly affected by the Baushcinger effect which develops after the last expansion step, and this is a key property for the resistance to collapse under external pressurization. Standard formulas for the assessment of the collapse pressure pc variedly account for this effect. For instance, DNV OS-F101 penalizes the SMYS of the pipe with a fabrication factor αfab that reduces the pc rating of UOE pipes. Understanding the effect of deformation history on final material properties becomes desirable for a proper identification of processing strategies. A testing program was developed aimed at evaluating the effect of UOE forming on final transverse compression behavior, as it is relevant for collapse resistance. Work softening (i.e., the Bauschinger effect) and hardening were quantified under a variety of deformation operations.

Full textAbstract:
Results are presented for crack initiation detection and crack growth monitoring using DMI SR-1 Strain Gages and DMI SR-2 Reader in two Northrop Grumman aluminum test coupons subjected to cyclic loading. Results demonstrate the utility of the technology to detect cracks and crack growth in holes. The DMI SR-1 strain gage is applied so that it frames the hole in the test coupon. This results in strain measurements at tangents to hole and associated shear strains. A differential strain reading between gage lengths on parallel and opposing sides of a hole, resulting from discontinuities in the material surrounding a hole, indicates crack initiation and as the crack grows the differential reading increases.

Full textAbstract:
At HTW Berlin material science is taught to first year students in combination with laboratory exercises on materials testing. Still, basic knowledge upon theory is necessary to work practically during lab sessions. Therefore homework reading is assigned and additionally lecture films guide students through the laboratory routine prior to class. Initially inspired by students these lecture films were conducted during a one term student semester project according to the peer-to-peer approach supervised by lecturers and film experts. Since establishing the lecture films in summer semester 2015 time consuming explanations were redundant and the students were prepared better gaining more knowledge during practical work than those who did not have access to the films. After watching the introductory films download activities increased and online lectures were prepared carefully. However, the initial increase in final test results is not valid taken into account all grades from 2015 up to now. Still, even if the academic output is not better with our without the implementation of lecture films, the better handling of laboratory equipment and the more smoothly running lab courses account for at least a part time success.

Full textAbstract:
In the present work, we are concerned with heterogeneous material systems that have multiple distinct materials and void phases, and associated interfaces, for which the geometric scale and specific morphology at the micro/nano-level play an essential role in the global properties, functional behavior, and material system performance. Such heterogeneous combinations of materials that are engineered to function together to create unique properties and performance that is a function of their interaction are called material systems. Engineered heterogeneous material systems are at the heart of revolutionary advances in devices that convert and store energy (e.g., batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, capacitors, and many electro-optical devices), and other membrane-based devices used in chemical and fuel processing, sequestration, and extraction. In recent years, advances in a variety of additive manufacturing methods and techniques have made it possible to design, control, and fabricate specific micro- or nano-structures to achieve prescriptive functional performance of the material systems and devices in which they appear. However, systematic multiphysics analysis methods properly set on field equations that represent the local details are not available, so that first-principles understandings and designs of those materials are not properly founded. Recently, the DoE established an Energy Frontiers Research Center for Physics Based Nanostructure Design and Fabrication of Heterogeneous Functional Materials, called the HeteroFoaM Center, to address this and related questions. The present paper presents some initial findings of part of that effort related specifically to durability. For the present study, our approach to the question of durability of engineered material systems will be to construct a damage model, wherein damage is defined as (and by) changes in material state as a function of some generalized time variable that defines the intensity and history of the applied conditions that drive those changes. To bring the reality of engineering practice to our discussion, the durability concepts will be related to the damage and functional degradation observed in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) during service. SOFCs convert the chemical energy of fuel to electrical power. This focus will serve to define the scope of our discussion, which will be the durability of complex, heterogeneous material systems as measured by degradation of their functional performance defined by mechanical, thermal, and electrical behavior.

This report details a study investigating the environmental impacts associated with the development and manufacturing of carbon nanotube (CNT)–based ink (called CNTRENE 1030 material) and novel CNT temperature, flex, and moisture sensors. Undertaken by a private-public partnership involving Brewer Science (Rolla, Missouri), Jordan Valley Innovation Center of Missouri State University (Springfield, Missouri), and the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (Vicksburg, Mississippi), this work demonstrates the environmental life cycle assessment (ELCA) methodology as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the particular processes and materials posing the greatest environmental impact associated with the manufacture of the CNTRENE material and CNT-based sensor devices. Additionally, ELCA tracked the degree to which optimizing the device manufacturing process for full production also changed its predicted marginal environmental impacts.

Full textAbstract:
This report presents the results of RTI International Education’s study on teachers' guides across 13 countries and 19 projects. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we examine how teachers’ guides across the projects differ and find substantial variation in the design and structure of the documents. We develop a scripting index so that the scripting levels of the guides can be compared across projects. The impact results of the programs that use teachers’ guides show significant impacts on learning outcomes, associated with approximately an additional half year of learning, showing that structured teachers’ guides contribute to improved learning outcomes. During observations, we find that teachers make a variety of changes in their classroom instruction from how the guides are written, showing that the utilization of structured teachers’ guides do not create robotic teachers unable to use their own professional skills to teach children. Unfortunately, many changes that teachers make reduce the amount of group work and interactivity that was described in the guides, suggesting that programs should encourage teachers to more heavily utilize the instructional routines designed in the guide. The report includes a set of research-based guidelines that material developers can use to develop teachers’ guides that will support effective instructional practices and help improve learning outcomes. The key takeaway from the report is that structured teachers' guides improve learning outcomes, but that overly scripted teachers' guides are somewhat less effective than simplified teachers' guides that give specific guidance to the teacher but are not written word for word for each lesson in the guide.

Full textAbstract:
All structures in Switzerland - that is, all buildings, roads, infrastructure constructions and so on - consume over their entire life cycle around 50 % of Switzerland's final energy requirement. They are also responsible for around 30 % of emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. In recent decades, the energy requirements and CO2 emissions resulting from the use of such structures have fallen sharply. However, the grey energy contained within the structures as well as the CO2 emissions associated with the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, remain high. There is great potential for improvement here. The joint project “Low energy concrete” provides an important basis for transforming the construction industry into a sustainable sector. It primarily focuses on the building material concrete, which is responsible for an especially high amount of grey energy and significant CO2 emissions. The results of this joint project are summarised and interpreted in this synthesis on “Sustainable Concrete Structures”. The chief objectives of the joint project were as follows: CO2 emissions and grey energy are reduced by drastically decreasing the amount of clinker in the cement. Grey energy is reduced by replacing reinforcing and prestressing steel in concrete structures with wood and plastic. The service life of the structures is extended by professional monitoring and adequate renovation measures; this reduces the average annual grey energy and CO2 emissions. The research work shows that the CO2 emissions caused by concrete and concrete structures can be reduced by a factor of 4, while the bound grey energy can be decreased by a factor of 3.
