Sexual Politics in Select DNT Autobiographies: A Study

The implementation of the Criminal Tribes Act by the British Government in 1871 branded certain nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in India as born criminals who lived by thieving. Despite the official denotification of such tribes in 1952, the stigma associated with their names still remains and they still continue to face various discriminations and violations of human rights in the society. The sufferings of these communities remain mostly ignored by the government. They also hardly find any place in the books of historical, sociological and literary studies. However, the autobiographical narratives produced by writers themselves belonging to such tribes act as authentic documentation of the historical injustices and various casteist segregations faced by their people. But there is hardly any female writer from the nomadic tribes. As a result, the specific concerns of the women of such marginalized communities are even less known than those of their male counterparts. The predicament of the denotified and nomadic tribes (DNT) women is known only so far as it is represented by the male DNT writers. The present study is an attempt to understand the sexual politics and vulnerabilities of the DNT women as represented in the autobiographies of Laxman Gaikwad and Laxman Mane.

The Capitalization of the Authentic Documents in the Educational Activity of the Primary Cycle

Written, audio or audiovisual documents that were not designed to be used for pedagogical purposes, authentic documents are used by teachers in the teaching activity of different subjects, at different moments/stages of the lesson, aiming at the achievement of the proposed operational objectives, the interaction between pupils, the formulation and expression by them of their own points of view, the teaching staff being the mediator of the discussions. The use of this type of documents gives pupils an authentic picture of the subject in question, contributing to the development of a favorable attitude towards it, positively motivating them to search for similar information, helping them to overcome the limits of the textbook, making them become autonomous in learning. At the same time, the presence of authentic documents makes the lessons more dynamic, encouraging horizontal communication, presupposing on the part of the teaching staff the identification and use of the most effective activities in order to make full use of them. In this article we aim to present to what extent authentic documents are integrated into the didactic activity, which are these, how they are exploited in the primary cycle both by primary cycle teachers/teachers and by physical education teachers and sport, information obtained from the answers formulated by them to the questions in the applied questionnaire.

La traduction des documents authentiques dans les manuels scolaires Tunisiens entre pertinence et transgression linguistico-culturelle

The Translation of Authentic Documents in Tunisian School Textbooks between Relevance and Linguistic-Cultural Transgression
 The didactics of foreign languages is a discipline that covers all teaching/learning operations and more particularly didactic transposition. This operational approach requires the presence of several actors: a learner who receives the knowledge and a teacher who plays a pedagogical role of mediator between the knowledge and the learner, using tools, and approaches adapted to the level of the learners. To succeed in this task, the teacher must select and prepare relevant authentic documents. In addition, he will try to plan the lessons and themes to be treated and select the accompanying resources in better working conditions (time/space).
 The authentic document is a practical and tangible document that was not designed for pedagogical purposes but for communicative purposes. It is initially intended for native speakers; the teacher exploits it to enhance it in activities that he will propose in class. The authentic document can take various forms: written, oral, or audiovisual. But if it turns out that any change concerning the form and content has been made to the document such as the deletion or addition of one or more paragraphs, or their rhetorical flesh-out; or the addition of articulators between the proposals to facilitate for example the deduction, in this case we will rather speak of a manufactured didactic document.
 Pedagogical resources play an important role in the teaching-learning process, since their content should improve learners' skill levels. In the context of the use of textbooks very strongly recommended by official instructions. The translation of authentic documents into mother tongues is undeniable, their relevance depends on the needs of the learners and therefore on the learning processes. On the other hand, the translation of these documents requires prior language skills and cultural knowledge on the part of translators-pedagogues but also learners, at the risk of being inappropriate or even counterproductive.
 In fact, talking about relevance refers us to detecting the acts of receipt and authenticity of a document. In class and in a well-defined production context, the authentic document is subject to different acceptance conditions. It is therefore necessary to prepare learners in advance to receive the translation of this document, so that they can grasp certain linguistic and contextual connivances.
 However, the translation of authentic documents presents a large number of constraints that restrict the possibility of their use in the teaching-learning process. Moreover, it is not always easy to find relevant translations whose content is adapted to the level of learners cognitively and culturally, their relative ambiguities can be prohibitive at the beginner and intermediate levels. On the other hand, translations with simple proposals, stated at a concise and slow pace with a clear articulation will be perfectly preferred. It is also necessary that the translated content corresponds to the pedagogical challenges of the teacher and the needs of the learners.
 This research deals with the translation of authentic documents into textbooks in Tunisia. It is an exploratory research with a comprehensive and analytical aim that relies on the quality of the texts produced in Arabic resulting from the translation of the source texts. It is objective to analyze the gap between the original texts in terms of authentic documents and their translation proposed in printed manuals. In particular, emphasis is placed on the linguistic-cultural relevance of translated texts and its relationship to the history of source texts. To achieve this objective, we opted for a tripartite analysis: The first part is a grammatical-comparative analysis of textual supports, the second part is a discursive and structural analysis of translated texts, while the last part, it focuses on the establishment and mobilization of cognitive and cultural baggage.

Breast cancer in patients after augmentation with implants

Relevance. Currently, there is no definite answer to the question of the cause of breast cancer, since it is a systemic and multifactorial disease. Given that the number of aesthetic operations on the mammary glands using endoprostheses only increases every year, new cases of detection of malignant diseases do not decrease. Some researchers are beginning to speak out about the possible connection of augmentation mammoplasty in the anamnesis with the subsequent occurrence of breast cancer due to inadequate clinical and instrumental examination and ignoring some of its components (for example, the mammographic examination). Introduction. Taking into account the analysis of the literature and the presented clinical examples, the possible reasons for the connection of augmentation mammoplasty in the anamnesis with the subsequent detection of a malignant neoplasm are analyzed. Materials and methods. We analyzed domestic and foreign literature and described two clinical examples with authentic documentation based on the results of the examination and treatment. The article describes in detail the schemes of drug treatment and descriptions of the results of morphological examination of the surgical material. The types and results of surgical treatment with reliable photos are also presented. Results. Given the complexity of the diagnostic stage in patients with breast endoprosthesis in the described clinical examples, family history collected in sufficient detail, cytogenetic studies conducted, we should talk about the likely underdiagnosis during preventive examinations. Conclusion. The multifactorial and systematic nature of such a disease as breast cancer suggests that perhaps an intensive increase in the detectability of the above-mentioned against the background of previously performed aesthetic surgery would be the simplest solution to the problem. In this category of patients, anamnesis should be collected in more detail and carefully, and the entire complex of clinical and instrumental examinations, including mammography, magnetic resonance and ultrasound examinations, should be performed in order to fully diagnose and develop further patient management tactics.

Occult breast cancer. Literature review and case series

Background. Currently, there are several forms of breast cancer (BC): nodular, diffuse, edematous-infiltrative, mastitis-like form, as well as Paget’s cancer. A special form of BC is the hidden or occult form. Taking into account the analysis of methods for the diagnosis and treatment of occult BC, it is important that this form of the disease is detected at a later stage. It includes axillary lymphadenopathy and histologically appears to be a metastatic lesion of the lymph nodes from undetectable invasive BC.Materials and methods. We conducted a thorough analysis of domestic and foreign literature and described two clinical examples with authentic documentation of the results of the examination and treatment. The article describes in detail the schemes of drug treatment and descriptions of the results of morphological examination of the surgical material.Results. Given the complexity of the diagnostic stage, the clinical form of the course of diseases, the described clinical examples can be attributed specifically to the occult form of BC. An important and determining factor in treatment is the diagnostic stage using all possible methods, including positron emission tomography–computed tomography, breast magnetic resonance imaging and trepan-biopsy of regional lymph nodes, followed by the determination of the molecular biological subtype of the tumor.Conclusions. In this article, the presented data confirm the general statement about the uniqueness of this disease, which requires a more detailed and multidisciplinary approach at the stage of diagnosis and determination of treatment tactics.

DholeCuon alpinusin Satchari National Park: on the first verifiable evidence from northeast Bangladesh

AbstractThe distribution range of the globally Endangered dholeCuon alpinusoverlaps mixed evergreen mid-hill forests of northeastern Bangladesh but lacks any authentic documentation. With the first evidence from this region, we observed the activity pattern of dhole, of its prey and of human activities in Satchari National Park, a part of a larger northeastern forested area, Raghunandan Hill Reserve Forest – the northernmost fringe of the Baramura Hills of India. We obtained 32 photos of solitary individuals on eight different events from six out of 587 camera trap days. Naïve occupancy estimate for dhole was 0.41 with a detection probability of 0.65. We identified two individuals, and reported five predation events. We encountered a moderately high temporal overlap of dhole activity with that of barking deer (∆̂1= 0.65, CI = 0.42–0.83), human activity (0.63, 0.38–0.89), and livestock movement (0.59, 0.38–0.89). Given that dhole is a diurnal hyper-carnivore, illegal logging and tourism pressure appeared as major disturbances to the species' existence in the park. Habitats of northeastern protected forests, their adjacency with hill ranges of Tripura, and dhole being a habitat generalist, we conjecture its presence in the entire region and recommend thorough camera-trapping efforts.

Civil Engineering 4 Real (CE4R): co-curricular learning for undergraduates

ABSTRACT Vocational disciplines such as engineering provide an ideal opportunity for contextualising the curriculum. The provision of co-curricular activities can stimulate students to assimilate their prior knowledge and skills whilst enhancing employability attributes. Team-based co-curricular activities linked to problem-based learning can offer students a quasi-authentic experience of engineering practice. In this paper, we provide a case study of a successful co-curricular initiative supported by local civil engineering employers. Civil Engineering 4 Real (CE4R) are evening workshops facilitated by practicing engineers, where student attendance is voluntary. Students use authentic documentation and collaborate in peer learning to solve industrial problems. CE4R has assisted student’s anticipatory socialisation into their disciplinary profession. However, further research is required to establish the cognitive legacy that students gain from attending CE4R. There is also a need to explore the synergy that could be prompted through understanding the boundaries between CE4R and the programme curriculum.

Recommendations for the use of notebooks in upper-division physics lab courses

The use of lab notebooks for scientific documentation is a ubiquitous part of physics research. However, it is common for undergraduate physics laboratory courses not to emphasize the development of documentation skills, despite the fact that such courses are some of the earliest opportunities for students to start engaging in this practice. One potential impediment to the inclusion of explicit documentation training is that it may be unclear to instructors which features of authentic documentation practice are efficacious to teach and how to incorporate these features into the lab class environment. In this work, we outline some of the salient features of authentic documentation, informed by interviews with physics researchers, and provide recommendations for how these can be incorporated into the lab curriculum. We do not focus on structural details or templates for notebooks. Instead, we address holistic considerations for the purpose of scientific documentation that can guide students to develop their own documentation style. While taking into consideration all the aspects that can help improve students' documentation, it is also important to consider the design of the lab activities themselves. Students should have experience with implementing these authentic features of documentation during lab activities in order for them to find practice with documentation beneficial.

TEACHING CADETS OF MARITIME HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS TO READ ENGLISH PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTATION: THE RESULTS OF PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT

The article presents the study of the results of experimental and research approbation of the methods of teaching cadets of the maritime institutions how to read the authentic professional documentation in English. In this paper the author describes the didactic and methodological principles of teaching how to read the authentic professional documentation in English, the algorithm of methodical actions and the corresponding system of exercises for achieving the aims of the research. This article describes the stages of the experimental approbation of the suggested teaching methods, and the following criteria apparatus for assessing the language knowledge, and speech skills of cadets of the marine institutions, taking into account the need for urgent and safe vessel sailing: a language criterion with the indicators: receptive understanding of the words under study, and their reproductive actualization in English; pre-speech criterion with the indicators: understanding the meaning of the text under study, reproduction of the contents of the text, application of the obtained information in the educational and professional activities; speech criterion with the indicators: the speed of silent reading the complete training sailing directions numbering 900 – 1000 words, accuracy of perceiving professional reliable information, adequacy of the application of the obtained textual information in the educational and professional activities; production criterion with the indicators: reading authentic navigation information covering 900 – 1000 words, readiness to fulfill the professional actions after receiving the information from the authentic sailing directions, the adequacy of the production processes to real-existing navigation conditions). This paper describes the conditions of the experiment conducting, including the selection of cadets, who took part in the experimental work, and their division into experimental and control groups. This article presents the results of the pre-experimental testing of the cadets’ knowledge, experimental teaching and final testing of cadets’ knowledge. It also compares the obtained outcomes concerning the skills of reading the authentic marine documentation by the cadets of the experimental groups and control groups.

Hearing children’s voices through a conversation analysis approach

ABSTRACTThis article introduces the methodological approach of conversation analysis (CA) and demonstrates its usefulness in presenting more authentic documentation and analysis of children’s voices. Grounded in ethnomethodology, CA has recently gained interest in the area of early childhood studies due to the affordances it holds for gaining access to children’s social interactions that would otherwise be unnoticed. It differs from psychological methods for the study of children’s social worlds in that it avoids using predefined categories of behaviour, and instead uses an inductive approach, allowing children’s voices to be understood in ways that are meaningful to children themselves.A discussion around how CA has demonstrated its usefulness in the endeavour to hear children’s voices in early childhood education research and pedagogy will be given, including studies on children’s trauma talk and children’s cross-culture interactions in educational contexts. Transcriptions from a corpus of international data involving children aged 2½ – 4 years will be presented to show how CA supports researchers and teachers to fully realise the contribution children make to their own everyday lives as competent and capable citizens.

Usability of the Stylus Pen in Mobile Electronic Documentation

Stylus pens are often used with mobile information devices. However, few studies have examined the stylus’ simple movements because the technical expertise to support documentation with stylus pens has not been developed. This study examined the usability of stylus pens in authentic documentation tasks, including three main tasks (sentence, table, and paragraph making) with two types of styluses (touchsmart stylus and mobile stylus) and a traditional pen. The statistical results showed that participants preferred the traditional pen in all criteria. Because of inconvenient hand movements, the mobile stylus was the least preferred on every task. Mobility does not provide any advantage in using the stylus. In addition, the study also found inconvenient hand support using a stylus and different feedback between a stylus and a traditional pen.

Underutilized food crops: treasure for the future India

Underutilized crops are lesser-known plant species in terms of marketing and research, but well adapted to marginal and stress conditions. Their indigenous potential and ethnobotanical data are well known to people, whereas, commercial importance and market value is unknown to the public. The survey conducted and the indigenous data gathered gave information that, UUC’s make Indian economy sounder and in many cases benefit the environment as well, by replacing the depleting resources with the new ones. In India, strategy development and appropriate policies are limited to a large extent because of the lack of authentic documentation on these crops. The Indian government policies and strategies for food security should take into account the diversity of underutilized crops. Although the options for scaling-up neglected crops for large-scale agriculture appear to be increasingly exhausted, many species have the potential to contribute to food security, nutrition, dietary and culinary diversification, health and income generation. Basically, these UUC’s are multifold food crops as the treasures for the future India have greater potential for food and security, income generation and environmental services.

Toward Safe and Secure Electronic Documents of E-Governments: Generating Authentic Documents using Image Processing Techniques

E-governmental applications have to find a solution for efficient and effective mechanism for authenticating and signing official documents. We propose and implement a mechanism for issuing secure electronic authentic governmental documents using watermark technology. The proposed mechanism constructs a watermark from domain name and MAC address of the governmental institution of interest. The watermark is augmented into the governmental document that is available in the form of image. This new mechanism promises allows the usage of watermarking to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of official documents. It can discover the change in these documents and the place where this change occurred. Proven by our experimental results, the proposed mechanism is secure and robust as the watermark will be embedded in multiple places inside the document where sensitive data is located, this way we can significantly reduce the probability of successful fraud of electronic documents.

There Once Was a World, A 900-Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of Eishyshok (review)

There Once Was a World, A 900-Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of EishyshokIf one were have walked the streets of the shtetl on a summer day in the first decades of the twentieth century, one would have been accompanied by the steady hum of Singer sewing machines. By the 1920s, most of the town's tailors and seamstress workshops -- and, indeed, nearly all young Jewish women -- had come rely on the machines. And if one were have walked along the streets of this town, one might happen by the garden of Hayya Sonenson, rare among Jewish gardens in that it boasted a colorful array of flowers as well as the vegetables upon which the town's Jewish residents relied. If one were have wandered into the town's bathhouse (located near a tributary of the river Kantil on Bod Gessl, Bathhouse Lane), be bled by leeches, perhaps, or receive a massage, one would undoubtedly have encountered the Jewish barber Alter der Sherer and his assistants, themselves Muslim Tatars and Christians.One can, of course, still walk the streets of (Eisiskes, as it is known in Lithuanian), but in the wake of the Holocaust, its Jewish comers must be reconstructed and remembered rather than witnessed. At least until recently. For with the publication of Yaffa Eliach's extraordinary There Once Was a World, one can -- borrowing from the Eishyshkian Yiddish proverb -- become farkrokhn in Eishyshok (lost in Eishyshok) once again. This work, the product of seventeen years of exhaustive, indeed obsessive research, succeeds in reconstructing Jewish with staggering detail and grace. In it, the sounds, smells, and richness of Jewish are remarkably palpable: one perceives a town that was very much alive and entirely unaware that it could be extinguished.As Eliach attests her in introduction, this project was born of a single goal, recreate for readers the vanished Jewish market town had once called home. To this end, Eliach meticulously reconstructs the 900-year history of this town, paying particular attention its vibrancy in the first decades of the twentieth century and the gruesome fate of Eishyshok's Jewish residents during the Holocaust. I was determined, Eliach writes, to find some kind of authentic documentation, visual or written, archival or anecdotal, on every Jewish person who had lived in the shtetl in the twentieth century, including those who had emigrated from it, those who had been privileged die a natural death in it, those who perished there or nearby during the Holocaust, and the handful of Holocaust survivors who had somehow lived tell the tale. …

Variability of specific components in Camelina sativa oilseed cakes

During the period 1995–1998 a research project was carried out dealing with oilseed crop-false flax ( Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz). The project with participants from five EU countries was supported by the European Commission. Extensive new knowledge about agrotechnical aspects and agro-industrial exploitation of the crop was acquired. Authentic documentation was obtained from analyses of C. sativa (CS) seed and oilseed cakes. Thirty representative samples of seed and corresponding thirty samples of oil cakes from the crop grown in 1997, originating from ten different localities in Europe and in Scandinavia, were analysed using advanced analytical technology. The analyses were focussed on evaluation of the oilseed cakes with regard to the exploitation as feedstuff. Different qualitative parameters significant to the biological value of the fodder, such as the content of glucosinolates, sinapine, condensed tannins, inositol phosphates and the content of heavy metals cadmium, nickel and zinc, were determined.

Clotel and the Historicity of the Anecdote

In or President's Daughter; A of Slave Life (1853), William Wells Brown makes use of several authenticating documents that are supposed-in context of novel-to be real. That is, these newspaper articles and advertisements, letters, legal tracts, religious publications, and prefatory narrative of author's own life and escape from slavery are assumed to exist outside fiction of novel. Although these documents are sometimes as much fictions as rest of novel, they do tend to have counterparts, and existence of such counterparts seems to have effect of authenticating story about Thomas Jefferson's slave mistress and slave daughters. As early as 1979, Robert Stepto delineated characteristics of authenticating machinery in narrative, arguing that in his personal narrative Brown authenticates himself and autobiographical narrative tends to authenticate novel: Brown's personal narrative functions...as a successful rhetorical device, authenticating his access to incidents, characters, scenes, and tales which collectively make up Clotel (30). In The Novelization of Voice in Early African American Narrative (1990), William Andrews re-asserts notion that Brown uses authentic and argues that it calls into question or problematizes notion of stability of line between and fictive discourse. Brown subverts the relation of privilege that makes natural ground for fictive discourse (27). According to Andrews, the voice of black narrative broke most profoundly with discursive conventions and white expectations in an attempt to find new ways of authorizing itself (24). Other readers also elaborate notion of authenticating in novel.1 Richard O. Lewis, for example, argues that authentic documentation...supplies enough credibility in works to sustain his ironic situations and metaphorical characters (153).2 Despite their careful analyses of force of historical authentication, however, none of these essays contrasts own era

"… authentic Documents tending to elucidate our History"

"… authentic Documents tending to elucidate our History"

Ebenezer Hazard: America's First Historical Editor

E_ BENEZER HAZARD' (1744/45-I8I7) was the first American to attempt to preserve the documentary heritage of the nation.2 The publication of two volumes of American and significant private manuscripts, under the title of Historical Collections: Consisting of State Papers and Other Authentic Documents; Intended As Materials for An History of the United States of America (Philadelphia, 1792-I794), climaxed the dreams and struggles of twenty years.3 As a business venture, the publication was just short of disastrous, but Hazard performed a notable service to American historians, recognized by some of his contemporaries, but subsequently forgotten. While historians of his
