Digital Story of Woman Character in Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper

This article aims to describe the performance of the woman character as shown in the story and to reveal the achievement of obsession that the woman has obtained in the story. The analysis of the work has been carried out by using structuralism and a psychoanalysis approach from Freud’s theory and collaborate with creative digital illustration can be helped the readers understanding the story on digital illustration. The result of this analysis shows that woman character may appear to hold a less powerful role in society throughout Gilman’s work. The Yellow wallpaper is locked in a room by her ‘loving’ spouse, as a physician. The story centers on her need for an escape as the kind of remedy that is needed to cure her illness. She expresses her desire for an escape and hides from her spouse. In creative digital illustration of the story concept can be appeared into plot stories. The woman character can be shown on illustration using graphic design.

The end of the game: emotional responses of older adults to climate crisis and climate mobilizations in Switzerland

IntroductionIn relation to climate change activism and climate emotions, the youth has captured most of the attention of researchers. This article draws on in-depth face-to-face interviews with people aged 64 and over engaged in pro-environmental behaviors in Switzerland.MethodsThrough a thematic analysis, we identify eight themes on positive and negative mental states related to the climate crisis and climate-related mobilizations.ResultsThe qualitative sample shows that older people engage in pro-environmental behaviors, not out of fear of losing access to vital resources, but out of concern for future generations, humanity, and nature. This broad sense of morality is associated with a form of anger for a world that refuses to change.DiscussionBetween generations, emotions vary in intensity but not in nature, and the strategies older adults undertake to mitigate their negative emotions are similar to the strategies mobilized by youth activists. In both cases, anger and fear are powerful negative emotions, and the pleasure, joy, and hope of protesting with like-minded others is a kind of remedy. Older people just face very different constraints and undertake actions that are compatible with their physical and cognitive capacities.

Biology, Society, or Choice: How Do Non-Experts Interpret Explanations of Behaviour?

Explanations for human behaviour can be framed in many different ways, from the social-structural context to the individual motivation down to the neurobiological implementation. We know comparatively little about how people interpret these explanatory framings, and what they infer when one kind of explanation rather than another is made salient. In four experiments, UK general-population volunteers read vignettes describing the same behaviour, but providing explanations framed in different ways. In Study 1, we found that participants grouped explanations into 'biological', 'psychological' and 'sociocultural' clusters. Explanations with different framings were often seen as incompatible with one another, especially when one belonged to the 'biological' cluster and the other did not. In Study 2, we found that exposure to a particular explanatory framing triggered inferences beyond the information given. Specifically, psychological explanations led participants to assume the behaviour was malleable, and biological framings led them to assume it was not. In Studies 3A and 3B, we found that the choice of explanatory framing can affect people's assumptions about effective interventions. For example, presenting a biological explanation increased people's conviction that interventions like drugs would be effective, and decreased their conviction that psychological or socio-political interventions would be effective. These results illuminate the intuitive psychology of explanations, and also potential pitfalls in scientific communication. Framing an explanation in a particular way will often generate inferences in the audience-about what other factors are not causally important, how easy it is to change the behaviour, and what kinds of remedies are worth considering-that the communicator may not have anticipated and might not intend.

Rethinking Effective Remedies to the Climate Crisis: a Vulnerability Theory Approach

Although the harmful effects of climate change on human rights are well-recognized, the legal response to the climate crisis has been inadequate. This is particularly problematic as the crisis disproportionately affects vulnerable groups, which is exacerbated by a lack of effective remedies in contesting the adverse effects of climate change. The article argues that vulnerability theory offers a persuasive framing for rethinking what kind of remedies can be considered effective in the context of the climate crisis. A vulnerability theory approach shows how vulnerability increased by the climate crisis is universal but differentially distributed. Effective remedies are an essential part of responding to this vulnerability. The article suggests that characteristics of an effective remedy include the ability to contest breaches of positive obligations, speediness, the ability to contest future harms, the ability to contest breaches of extraterritorial obligations, bindingness, and equality of standing.

Studying Vaccination Coverage and Design of Short Message Service Based Reminder to Improve Children Vaccination Coverage in Hawassa; Sidama Region; Ethiopia

A vaccine is a kind of remedy that trains the body’s protection system so that it can combat an infection. The national routine immunization coverage in Ethiopia is low. Among the main reason for defaulting children vaccinations are disremembering the appointment date, communication gap between service providers and the community, knowhow about vaccination and etc. This work is to investigate vaccination coverage in Hawassa city and main reasons of vaccination drop out, and then provide a solution for that main reason. Data was collected from 360 children whose age is between 1 to 2 years who live in Hawassa city. The data analysis result showed that only 51% of the children are fully vaccinated; and the main reason for vaccination dropout which weighs 57% was found to be disremembering the appointment date. Providing a solution to not only one of the main reasons but also for the one which weighs the most in the city of this study will improve the vaccination coverage. As the main reason is found to be disremembering the vaccination appointment date, this work provides a Short Message Service (SMS) based automatic reminding system. The design part uses database, OzekiNG network gateway and global system for mobile communication modem with active subscriber identity module. In this system the health extension workers will register the clients’ detailed information including appointment dates during the birth of baby that will be accessed periodically by the OzekiNG to send the reminder SMS to the mothers one day a head to the day of vaccination. After automatic reminding mechanism was developed and implemented, coverage of fully vaccinated children increases from 51% to 71% and the problem of forgetting appointment date decreases from 57% to 14%. The efficiency of the developed system is found to be 85%. From the above-mentioned results and the current available communication mechanisms, it can be concluded that the reminding system can be simply implemented to improve the child vaccination coverage by bridging the gap due to disremembering the vaccination appointment date.

Crude oil wax: A review on formation, experimentation, prediction, and remediation techniques

Wax deposition during crude oil production, transportation, and processing has been a headache since the early days of oil utilization. It may lead to low mobility ratios, blockage of production tubing/pipelines as well as fouling of surface and processing facilities, among others. These snags cause massive financial constraints increasing projects' turnover. Decades of meticulous research have been dedicated to this problem that is worth a review. Thus, this paper reviews the mechanisms, experimentation, thermodynamic and kinetic modeling, prediction, and remediation techniques of wax deposition. An overall assessment suggests that available models are more accurate for single than multi-phase flows while the kind of remediation and deployment depend on the environment and severity level. In severe cases, both chemical and mechanical are synergistically deployed. Moreover, future prospective research areas that require attention are proposed. Generally, this review could be a valuable tool for novice researchers as well as a foundation for further research on this topic.

Theory of mind, empathy and eye gaze strategies during observation of a work of art: neurodegenerative pathologies.

Theory of mind (ToM) and empathy are severely impaired in the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and more mildly in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). Such impairments are associated with behavioural disorders. Modification of visual scanning strategies of complex visual scenes is also found in these pathologies. We hypothesised that these patients applied atypical gaze strategies when observing social events, which does not allow them to properly process social cues and results in the production of erroneous inferences and lack of empathy towards others. Fifty-five participants were divided into four groups: five bvFTD subjects, 19 AD subjects, 17 PD subjects and 14 matched control subjects. ToM and empathy were assessed by eye movement recording (eye-tracking) and by a questionnaire during a painting observation. Scores obtained were compared between each group and to social cognition reference tests and correlated to the NeuroPsychiatric Inventory. Our paradigm was suitable for assessing cognitive ToM while it lacked sensitivity for empathy assessment. Severe ToM impairment was highlighted in bvFTD, while milder difficulties were observed in AD and for PD. Subjects with bvFTD and AD produced erroneous inferences from cognitive mental states. ToM performances were linked to visual exploration strategies of the painting. Atypical visual observation was highlighted in the bvFTD and AD groups causing a time delay in taking the perspective of the other person. Finally, we highlighted that social cognition performances, gaze strategies and behavioural disorders were correlated. Observing a painting in association with eye-tracking technology can be a good support for social cognition assessment. We highlighted a link between atypical visual scanning strategies, ToM impairment and behavioural disorders in these pathologies. ToM skills could be improved by training in the search for visual social cues. Therefore, this kind of remediation could have positive effects on behavioural disorders.

Theory of mind, empathy and eye gaze strategies during an artwork observation in neurodegenerative pathologies

Theory of mind (ToM) and empathy are severely impaired in the behavioral-variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and more mildly in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). Such impairments are associated with behavioral disorders (BD). Modification of visual scanning strategies of complex visual scenes is also found in these pathologies. We hypothesized that these patients applied atypical gaze strategies when observing social events, which would not allow to properly process social cues and would result in the production of erroneous inferences and lack of empathy towards others. Fifty-five participants were divided into four groups: five bvFTD, 19AD, 17PD and 14matched controls subjects.

Scores obtained were compared between each group and to social cognition reference tests, and correlated to the NeuroPsychiatric Inventory. Our paradigm was suitable for assessing cognitive ToM while it lacked sensitivity for empathy assessment.

ToM performances were linked to visual exploration strategies of the painting. Atypical visual observation was highlighted in bvFTD and AD groups causing a time shift in perspective taking of the character. Finally, we have highlighted that social cognition performances, gaze strategies and BD were correlated. The observation of a painting in association with eye-tracking technology can be a good support for social cognition assessment. We highlighted a link between atypical visual scanning strategies, ToM impairment and BD in these pathologies. ToM skills could be improved by training in the search for visual social cues. Therefore, this kind of remediation could have positive effects on BD.

The K-12 Masking Wars

The use of public insults and misinformation by the political right has acted as both a headwind and deadweight against the achievement of structural civil rights reform. These tactics act as a headwind by making it difficult to build effective remedies into a statute, and then, after the statute is enacted, they act as a deadweight to make it difficult to enforce the limited set of remedies that exist. To withstand the force of this public insult playbook, it is important for civil rights statutes to have strong, structural enforcement mechanisms rather than neo-liberal, one-person-at-a-time kinds of remedies.

Euroregions and Local and Regional Development—Local Perceptions of Cross-Border Cooperation and Euroregions Based on the Euroregion Beskydy

The cross-border regions, which are the peripheral regions, are struggling with m troubles. They often include high unemployment, insufficiently developed infrastructure, or inadequate language skills of residents, which are barriers to exploiting the potential of such regions. One kind of remedy is the assumption of the European Union’s regional policy, under which Euroregions are created. These units, constituting a form of cooperation between the regions of the European Union member states, candidate countries, and the regions of their neighbors, with the support of local and regional authorities, constitute support for the competitiveness and development of border areas. The purpose of this study is to verify how people perceive the activity and effectiveness of Euroregions, as well as to try to determine whether they think Euroregions contribute to local and regional development. In this research, an online and self-administered survey was used, with two parts: one related to Euroregions in general, and the other to a specific, selected Euroregion. Despite the fact that the Polish experience has not been as long as in other parts of Europe, the results show that the Euroregions are positively evaluated by people, and they rate them as important for development of the regions.

Extraction of Essential Oil from Indigenous Herb Physalis angulata Linn using Microwave Assisted Extraction

Essential oil is a kind of remedy that is originated from various part of plants. One of them is Physalis angulata Linn that is beneficial to human health yet very scarce explored by researchers. In this work, extraction of this herbal essential oils using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is proposed as an alternative greener extraction technique. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of extraction time (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 min), liquid-to-solid ratio (ranging from 8 to 16 ml/g) and microwave power (270, 360, 450, 540 and 630 W) on the extraction yield of oil from Physalis angulata Linn. Results showed that the optimum operating condition of MAE of this herb that gave the maximum 21 wt% yield of essential oil was found when extracted in 12 minutes for duration of extraction time using 12 ml/g for liquid-to-solid ratio and 630 W of microwave power. GC-MS results presented the highest constituent of 4,5- Dichloro-ortho-phenylenediamine (24.07 min), Diethyl Phthalate (24.09 min) and Phthalic acid, ethyl 2-pentyl ester (24.09 min) with percentage of 4.10 %. These results demonstrated that Physalis angulata Linn essential oil possess of health beneficial phytocompounds that exhibits as antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-toxic agent.

Rytuały rodzinne jako czynnik stałości i trwałości systemu rodzinnego w dynamicznie zmieniającym się świecie

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zjawiska fenomenu rytuału rodzinnego w perspektywie jego funkcji oraz znaczenia dla życia rodziny i jej trwałości.
 PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Prezentowany problem badawczy odnosi się do odpowiedzi na pytania: Czym są rytuały rodzinne? Jakie jest ich znaczenie dla życia rodzinnego i jego jakości w perspektywie stałości i trwałości? Zastosowano metodę analityczno‑syntetyczną literatury przedmiotu.
 PROCES WYWODU: Odwołując się do interdyscyplinarnych opracowań naukowych, dokonano analizy rytuału i rytuału rodzinnego z uwzględnieniem szerszej kategorii pojęciowej – tradycji. Wskazano też na fundamentalne funkcje celebrowania rytuału w rodzinie i korzyści, jakie można czerpać z tych wydarzeń w wymiarze jednostkowym i rodzinnym.
 WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Pielęgnowanie rytuałów rodzinnych (bez deformacji bogactwa i wymowy rytuału) przyczynia się do harmonijności i zintegrowania systemu rodzinnego, kształtowania podmiotowych relacji i bliskich więzi małżeńsko‑rodzinnych, występowania elementów stałości, wierności i konsekwencji oraz reguł porządkujących funkcjonowanie rodziny. Rytuały rodzinne mogą zatem odgrywać rolę specyficznych niezmienników w zmiennym świecie oraz czynników więziotwórczych i integracyjnych rodziny.
 WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE REKOMENDACJE: Cechą konstytutywną współczesności jest dynamiczna zmiana, która wpływa na życie człowieka, wywołując nowe zagrożenia i szanse. Wskazuje się na wzrastający rozpad rodziny oraz osłabienie relacji rodzinnych. W dobie wszechobecnej konsumpcji i cyfrowo‑informacyjnej rewolucji rytuały rodzinne mogą stanowić swoiste remedium na zachowanie bliskich więzi w rodzinie, a przez to jej stałości i trwałości. Potrzebna jest w tym zakresie edukacja wszystkich pokoleń oraz promocja rytuałów rodzinnych i ich wartościowego celebrowania (działalność profilaktyczna), a także naukowa eksploracja tego pola problemowego.

Remediation of Nouvelles Impressions d’Afrique by Raymond Roussel: Functional Issue

Nouvelles Impressions d’Afrique is a book Raymond Roussel wrote in the 1920’s. This book uses many different structures. It is one of the most complex French literary works in constrained literature. The most evident constraint is the massive use of text blocks slotted in by sets of brackets. But there are many other structures based on dispersed rimes, semantic axes, homonyms, paronyms, numbers... Each is used to build long structures in the text. We have previously done a digital remediation of this work based on the transformation of the bracket structure into a hypertextual structure. In the current project, we want to explore another possibility that seems more efficient to discover the other structures. It consists in text animations that progressively develop and unfurl in time the structures from their initial node (the set, the rhymes...) to the final sentences. This kind of remediation is a “reading machine” of the work, not a digital version of the book because Roussel’s text will be the final state of the animation. We plan to configure the interface according to several structures so that the reader would choose between any of them. We present a functional online prototype applied to some of those structures, showing the concepts of the interface, how Nouvelles Impressions d’Afrique will be reconfigured and how a generated animation can help to read and understand constrained literature.

Investors’ Remedies under EU Law and International Investment Law

Legal orders of international investment law and European Union law both provide remedies for investors. This article does not consider whether these remedies are available to the same actors in relation to the same conduct. The argument is limited to comparison of remedies under investment law, almost exclusively compensatory in character and implemented through investor-State arbitration, with remedies under EU law, particularly State liability claims in domestic courts. This comparison at the level of legal principle is not nonsensical – concepts of attribution, breach, rights, and causality do evoke somewhat similar considerations – but ultimately the extent of systemic differences as well as lack of information about crucial aspects of remedies make these matters incommensurable. It is not obvious that comparison of experience of States that have been addressees of both kinds of remedies is more illuminating than the comparison of principle.

Remedies for Breaches of EU Antitrust Law

This paper concerns remedies in the European Commission's antitrust infringement decisions under Article 7 of Regulation no. 1/2003, as distinct from commitments under Article 9 of the same regulation, and remedies under the Merger Regulation. This paper tries to answer four questions: What are remedies for? When can the Commission impose them? What kind of remedies? And what is the framework for enforcing remedies?

Identifying tree crown delineation shapes and need for remediation on high resolution imagery using an evidence based approach

In order to fully realize the benefits of automated individual tree mapping for tree species, health, forest inventory attribution and forest management decision making, the tree delineations should be as good as possible. The concept of identifying poorly delineated tree crowns and suggesting likely types of remediation was investigated. Delineations (isolations or isols) were classified into shape types reflecting whether they were realistic tree shapes and the likely kind of remediation needed. Shape type was classified by an evidence based rules approach using primitives based on isol size, shape indices, morphology, the presence of local maxima, and matches with template models representing trees of different sizes.A test set containing 50,000 isols based on an automated tree delineation of 40cm multispectral airborne imagery of a diverse temperate-boreal forest site was used. Isolations representing single trees or several trees were the focus, as opposed to cases where a tree is split into several isols. For eight shape classes from regular through to convolute, shape classification accuracy was in the order of 62%; simplifying to six classes accuracy was 83%. Shape type did give an indication of the type of remediation and there were 6% false alarms (i.e., isols classed as needing remediation but did not). Alternately, there were 5% omissions (i.e., isols of regular shape and not earmarked for remediation that did need remediation).The usefulness of the concept of identifying poor delineations in need of remediation was demonstrated and one suite of methods developed and shown to be effective.

Empowerment or Disempowerment of Middle and Lower Level Managers as an Efficient Model of Managing a Manufacturing Company in Poland – A Case Study

During the field studies concerning job satisfaction and commitment, the authors observed that there were no fundamental differences between answers provided by middle and low level managers and ordinary workers, concerning determinants of these phenomena: they showed the same low level of empowerment and complained about the same items to a comparable degree. The authors conducted the survey in a manufacturing plant with foreign investment by a worldwide operating company, located in Poland (Lower Silesia) in the Spring of 2014. The sample consisted of 81 workers, 25 administrative staff and 11 managers, thus general n=117. The chi-square test of independence, a p-value calculated by Monte Carlo simulation were used to determine whether or not and in which spheres the questioned managers differed from the workers and administrative staff. Consequently, the authors show that in conditions similar to those encountered in the analyzed manufacturing plant, centralization of power may be considerably high and managers of the middle and lower level may be more similar to workers in many respects. Next, the possible reasons for that “disempowerment” in terms of the so-called “end-of-the-pipe model” structure are given and discussed. The authors show also that some kind of remedy can be found in such situations using the simplest empowerment strategy – the so-called suggestion empowerment, as well as TQM or Lean Management practices (e.g., quality circles, 5M, TPM).
