Classic Rock Tours 2. Exploring a Famous Ophiolite: A Guide to the Bay of Islands Igneous Complex in Gros Morne National Park, Western Newfoundland, Canada

Ophiolites are complex assemblages of ultramafic and mafic igneous rocks that are now widely considered to be pieces of ancient oceanic crust that were emplaced on to the continents courtesy of global plate tectonics. However, most examples were originally considered parts of enormous layered mafic intrusions and so were interpreted in that light. The new understanding of ophiolites in the late 1960s and early 1970s was a crucial part of the global Earth Science revolution, and they are now central to all plate tectonic models developed for ancient orogenic belts. Although their equivalence to oceanic crust is now well established, many ophiolites may not be ‘typical’ examples of such, and not all examples are identical. Most ophiolites likely formed in subduction-influenced environments rather than at mid-ocean ridges. Ophiolites remain important foci for research in the 21st century, and many questions remain about their environments of formation and especially their mechanisms of emplacement onto the continents. Although it was not the first to be seen as a relic of a vanished ocean, the Bay of Islands Igneous Complex in western Newfoundland is one of the best preserved and most easily accessible ophiolites in the world. In the late 20th century, research work in this area proved highly influential in understanding the oceanic crust, and in unravelling the diachronous events involved in the progressive destruction of an ancient stable continental margin as arcs and microcontinental blocks were accreted along it. Parts of the Tablelands Ophiolite lie within Gros Morne National Park, which is a UNESCO world heritage site because of its importance to our understanding of global tectonics. The wider region around the park also includes the Cabox Aspiring Geopark Project, now also in the process of seeking recognition through UNESCO. This article provides background information on ophiolites and the development of our ideas about them, and links this material to four self-guided field excursions that allow examination of many classic features. These excursions range from a collection of roadside outcrops, to some relatively easy hiking excursions on official National Park trails, and eventually to a more challenging off-trail hike that ascends to the summit plateau of the Tablelands to visit rare exposures of the Moho (the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, i.e. the lower boundary of the Earth’s crust) and the underlying upper mantle rocks. Collectively, the field stops should allow geologically-minded visitors to experience some amazing geology in a spectacular and sometimes surreal landscape.

Entre passagens

Os deslocamentos de artistas e obras de arte formam parte da prática artística. Viagens para pintar, estudar, expor, são comuns nas trajetórias de vários pintores, seja entre cidades, seja entre países. O que veremos neste artigo, a partir de alguns casos elucidativos de questões próprias do trânsito, é como essa prática se desenvolvia ao longo do século XIX no Brasil, período em que os mundos da arte passaram por significativas mudanças. A necessidade de expandir os espaços de exibição e negociação levou muitos artistas brasileiros a investirem em viagens pelo país em busca de reconhecimento para seu trabalho e compradores para suas telas. O que iremos acompanhar, apoiados em exemplos de viagens do período, é como esse trânsito se apresenta levando em consideração, também, a mudança de regime político do Império para a República. Uma vez que artistas e obras de arte sempre estiveram em trânsito, nós devemos ir atrás dele para poder montar mais um capítulo dessa história.

Shame and recognition: Social work practice with vulnerable young people

AbstractDrawing on the findings from a longitudinal study of vulnerable young people's transitions to adulthood, this paper explores the ideas of shame and recognition. The young people, aged between 12 and 17 years at the first interview, had experienced chronic exposure to adversity from an early age (abuse, violence, mental health issues, addictions, and expulsion from school). They were clients of statutory and non‐governmental services: child welfare, juvenile justice, remedial education, and mental health services. This paper draws on the qualitative phase of the study (n = 107); young people and a trusted other, nominated by the young person, participated in three annual qualitative interviews. Interviews focused on young people's experiences of services, key transitions, their relationships, and the strategies they used to locate support and resources. Experiences of shame, misrecognition, and seeking recognition emerged as dominant themes in the young people's accounts, and these are explored in this paper. The paper concludes with a discussion on responsive social work interventions that generate a deeper understanding of young people's experiences of shame and misrecognition. Central to this practice are critical and relational social work practices that actively support young people to achieve recognition.

Seeking the recognition of voice disorder as work-related disease: historical-political movement.

The high prevalence of voice disorders among professionals who use their voice as a working tool, signals the existence of a collective illness caused by voice wear through poor working conditions and lack of social protection. This article describes the construction of a political movement seeking recognition of voice disorder as a work-related disease in Brazil. This is a narrative review on the historical processes, including social subjects, production of knowledge and the proposals for a strategic agenda, in view of the urgency of including voice disorder in the Brazilian Ministry of Health's list of work-related diseases. The analysis comprises three strands: a) technical and scientific, on advances in characterization of voice disorder and establishment of its connection with work; b) juridical and institutional, on legal recognition of this linkage; c) political and professional, on mobilization of social actors to advocate recognition of work-related voice disorders (WRVDs). The key role of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo in fomenting discussions about WRVDs over the course of this movement lasting nearly two decades is highlighted, along with the main difficulties in achieving formal recognition of WRVDs .

Seeking Recognition, Becoming Citizens

How do former combatants understand and make themselves into a citizen category? Through exploring the life narratives of former combatants from three different wars (Namibia, Colombia, and United States–Vietnam), this article locates similarities in the claims for recognition. The achievements or the grievances associated with the war and their homecoming made them deserving of special recognition from the state, the country, or other veterans. These claims situate these veterans in a political landscape, where they are called upon to mend and affirm the relation with the state, achieve recognition from society, and defend their fellows, which inform their citizenship practices, as it shaped their political mobilization and perceived political status. Through seeking recognition, they affirm their role as citizens.

Конструирование правил онлайн-дискуссии: роль «лайков»

The article is dedicated to a study in the subject field of virtual digital communication. The intentional constituent of online interaction marked by “likes” (“thumbs up”), which represent non-verbal signs of approval typical of digital communication) was examined on the material of online discussions on politics and international relations. The research in question has been based on the materials of 2015: 302 online discussions comprising 27901 comments on infovenues such as InoSMI.ru, Gazeta.ru, Polit. Ru. The intentional analysis has been performed with the use of quantitative intent-analysis method of conflict political discourse by T.N. Ushakova and N.D. Pavlova modified by N.K. Radina. Consequently, the count of “likes” (“thumbs up”) given by participants of the discussion for a specific comment, which means that they were given for an intention, followed. There has been made a supposition that the “likes” (“thumbs up”) are intertwined with the communicative interactions in the online discussion which are typical (most frequent) in online cooperation. As a result, the study revealed that the “likes” (“thumbs up”) fortify the asymmetrical relations between the author of the comment and the Others (the author of the article, other authors of comments as well as third party actors). The participants of the discussion rival with the authors of the comments and the authors of the articles while seeking recognition with the “third party actors”. The “likes” (“thumbs up”) prove to be a tool for fortification of intentional scenarios of online communication as well as legitimization of constructed rules of digital interaction. Hence, the hypothesis has been confirmed. It has been supposed that virtual digital communication implies intermittent construction of rules for every digital community for a unique situation of interaction whereas the “likes” (“thumbs up”) serve as an instrument for securing constructed norms.

Відносини адміністрації В. Вільсона та уряду Західноукраїнської народної республіки у листопаді 1918 – на початку 1919 р.

Goal of research – cover of the USA involvement in Polish-Ukrainian conflict in the Eastern Galicia, which was started in November 1918, after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Methodology founds upon historicism, systematicity, scientificity, verification, authorial objectivity, consider narrative constructionism principals and the general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-genetic, historicaltypologic, historical-system) methods. Academic novelty is the first in Ukrainian historiography the comprehensive examine of the USA policy regarding of Polish-Ukrainian military conflict the Eastern Galicia (in the late 1919 – in the beginning 1919) which basis of an analysis of published official documents of the US State Department relative to the problematic has been made. Conclusions. During November 1918-Febuary 1919 the Washington was one of the arbitrators in resolution of Polish-Ukrainian conflict in the Eastern Galicia, which was initiated also as intention of both parties to implement the idea of creation of an independent state, using the principle „right of nations of self-determination”, which was proclaimed by the USA. Poland and West Ukrainian People’s Republic claiming the control over the region were entered the international fray actively and made an appeal to the White House, seeking recognition of their pretension as legitimate. For West Ukrainian People’s Republic this activity was working. Through the constant conversation for help to Wilson’s administration with a statement that the proclamation of Ukrainian state is the implementation of the principle of nation’s self-determination. The West Ukrainian government has achieved that its interests haven’t ignored despite the fact, the Washington leaned toward Poland.

The Use of Human Capital and Limitations of Social Capital in Advancing Economic Security among Immigrant Women Living in Central Alberta, Canada

In this research, the challenges of using human capital and the effectiveness of social capital as an alternative resource used by immigrant women from non-English-speaking countries living in Central Alberta for them to attain economic security are studied. Evidence indicates heavy use of bonding social capital by immigrant women—primarily through family, ethnic, and religious networks—as a “survival” resource at the initial stage of settlement. The bonding social capital is relatively easy to access; nevertheless, in the case of visible minority immigrant women living in Central Alberta, bonding social capital has limited capacity in helping them to obtain economic security because their family and friends themselves often lack economic resources. As a result, these immigrant women are expected to compete in the labor market using their human capital to obtain higher-paying jobs. The challenge among immigrant women remains in seeking recognition of non-Canadian credentials, and/or successful acquisition and deployment of Canadian credentials in the primary labor market.

The contribution of social-environmental factors to the emotional adjustment of Israeli religious Jewish women coping with infertility

ABSTRACTThe community is often considered a resource for coping with health-related stress but has potential for negative effects when coping with fertility problems. In this study, we examined the associations between the social–environmental variables (seeking the support of the community, perception of pressure from the community, and perception of spouse support as a possible moderator of this pressure) and emotional adjustment to fertility problems among religious Jewish women in Israel, a highly pronatalist society. Data were collected from January to August 2011. Structural equation modeling using data from 186 women indicated that perception of pressure from the community was associated with poorer emotional adjustment. This association was not moderated by perceived spouse support, but spouse support was associated with better adjustment. Seeking the support of the community was found to be composed of two dimensions: Seeking Ties and Belonging to the Community, which was associated with poorer adjustment, and Seeking Approval and Recognition from the Community, which was associated with better adjustment. These results point to the complexity of dealing with health-related stress when it comes to important community values. Understanding this complexity can help professionals conduct culturally sensitive evaluation and treatment that will contribute to women’s emotional adjustment to fertility problems.

The case for rejecting the memristor as a fundamental circuit element

The memory resistor with the moniker memristor was a harmless postulate in 1971. Since 2008 a device that claims to be the memristor is on the prowl, seeking recognition as a fundamental circuit element, sometimes wanting electronics textbooks to be rewritten, always promising remarkable digital, analog and neuromorphic computing possibilities. A systematic discussion about the fundamental nature of the device is almost absent within the memristor community. Advocates use incomplete constitutive relationships, ignore concepts of activity/passivity and aver that nonlinearity is central to their case. Few researchers have examined these claims. Our report investigates the assertion that the memristor is a fundamental passive circuit element, from the fresh perspective that electrical engineering is the science of charge management. We demonstrate with a periodic table of fundamental elements that the 2008 memristor is not the 1971 postulate and neither of them is fundamental. The ideal memristor is an unphysical active device and any physically realizable memristor is a nonlinear composition of resistors with active hysteresis. We also show that there exists only three fundamental passive circuit elements.

Student’s Sense of School Belonging: School Influence

Today, the lead role of family and school in personality formation and its further development is widely recognized. Family is the centre of social and emotional world for small children. However, in the adolescence period, students start seeking recognition at school and among friends; the need for involvement, achievement and leadership shows up.
 Sense of school belonging is a concept which defines the extent to which students feel personally accepted, respected, involved and supported by parents, teachers, other community members in school environment. Student’s sense of school belonging primarily depends on teachers; however, acceptance and appraisal of a child by classmates and parents is also important to the sense of belonging. The sense of school belonging shows the extent to which students are involved in and connected with school community (both teachers and students) and feel support and assistance. It is a subjective assessment of a student which is related to the feeling of respect and acceptance at school, i.e. psychological membership in school and classroom.
 Conceptualisation of the sense of school belonging allows defining the key components of this concept: connection between teachers and students, contribution (teachers should contribute to provision of proper conditions for self-realization), capability (students should contribute to school activity and feel recognized by their teachers and peers).
 A teacher and school play one of the key roles in fostering the sense of acceptance and school belonging. Good relationship of teacher and student with school, teachers and peers influences students’ inclination for further development and fully-fledged membership in social group. Lack of interrelationship may have a negative impact on student’s self-awareness, life satisfaction and interest in learning activity.
 This article analyses which factors of school educational environment have influence on the formation of student’s sense of school belonging. 4618 students aged 15 from 216 general and vocational schools participated in the survey. As far as we know, in Lithuania, the study on the student’s sense of school belonging has been carried out for the first time. The Lithuania’s database of student questionnaire of the worldwide study OECD PISA 2012 is used for the survey.

The Analysis of the Status of Contemporary Chinese Literature

In the context of globalization, as China is becoming an important character on the world stage, Chinese literature’s mission is to be known by the world, and Chinese literature is poised to change the shared cultural landscapes in the world. However, contemporary Chinese literature is not as popular in the world as Western literature in spite of the implementation of “going out” strategy. Chinese literature, in the age of globalization, is increasingly marginalized by world literature. Some scholars hold the idea that for Chinese literary seeking recognition in the realm of world literature, the most formidable challenge to improve the status of Chinese literature at present is either ensuring the proper translation into English or securing the target readers’ access to them. The most important point is that the target readers’ need to be contextually activated and to become actively present in the world literary system. Based on the current international situation, the paper introduces a brief introduction of modern Chinese literature, some performances of the marginalization of modern Chinese literature and analyses the reasons why Chinese literature is not well received as Western literature. The paper is rounded off with suggestions from certain aspects as to what we can do to improve the status of Chinese literature.

Caracterización Del Lenguaje Oral De La Población Indígena Zenú, Sucre

Los Zenúes son un pueblo amerindio que hablaba la lengua Guajiba o Guamacó, pero en la actualidad hacen uso exclusivo del español, aunque conservan producciones que evidencian rasgos fonéticos y semánticos específicos poco conocidos. El desconocimiento de su filiación lingüística y el de sus particularidades motivó el presente trabajo, el cual muestra la caracterización del lenguaje oral de la población del resguardo indígena Zenú de San Andrés de Sotavento de Sucre, buscando reconocer las diferencias en contenido, forma y uso que permitirían rescatar su riqueza lingüística y el acervo cultural de ello para la costa Caribe. El estudio fue descriptivo y de corte transversal, incluyó técnicas de recolección mixtas aplicadas a 381 indígenas del resguardo mencionado. Los resultados evidenciaron procesos de simplificación en fonemas y sílabas, omisión de elementos sintácticos, preferencia de verbos en presente y pasado, cambios en referentes semánticos, léxico receptivo limitado y básico pero coherente, presencia de sobreextensiones en la significación y argumentación, características conversacionales pasivas para mantener, esperar y ceder turnos y empleo de gestos naturales como mediadores de la interacción. Se concluyó que existen particularidades fonológicas atribuidas al contexto socio cultural de la población; a nivel morfosintáctico predomina el empleo de estructuras gramaticales simples y complejas de tipos yuxtapuestas y coordinadas. En los niveles semántico y pragmático se evidenció reconocimiento de conceptos, empleo de vocablos contextualizados; introversión y escasas destrezas conversacionales que dan cuenta de pasividad en la interacción.

Student’s Sense of School Belonging: Home Influence

Family and school play the leading role in personality formation and its further development. Family is the centre of social and emotional world for small children. However, in the adolescence period, students start seeking recognition at school and among friends; the need for involvement, achievement and leadership shows up. Although, at first sight, family remains in the background, yet its role at the fundamental moments of student’s life remains significant.
 Sense of school belonging is a concept which defines the extent to which students feel personally accepted, respected, involved and supported by parents, teachers, other community members in school environment. Student’s sense of school belonging primarily depends on teachers; however, acceptance and appraisal of a child by classmates and parents is also important to the sense of belonging. The sense of school belonging shows the extent to which students are involved in and connected with school community (both teachers and students) and feel support and assistance. It is a subjective assessment of a student which is related to the feeling of respect and acceptance at school, i.e. psychological membership in school and classroom. Although a teacher and school still play one of the key roles in fostering the sense of acceptance and school belonging, yet attitude of family members towards school, as well as certain factors of home educational environment strengthen or weaken the sense of belonging. Good relationship of teacher and student with school, teachers and peers influences students’ inclination for further development and fully fledged membership in social group. Lack of interrelationship may have a negative impact on student’s self-awareness, life satisfaction and interest in learning activity.
 This article analyses which factors of home educational environment have influence on the formation of student’s sense of school belonging. 4 618 students aged 15 from 216 general and vocational schools participated in the survey.

Law Enforcement Against Fighting Group By Native In West Papua

The fundamental research conducted by looking at the phenomenon of group fights and how ethnocentrism and conflict influence each other indigenous ethnic groups in West Papua. This study used descriptive qualitative method, through field studies (in-depth interviews) and literature study. The results showed that with a low level of understanding of the history of the conflict supported ever experienced by the perpetrators of communication, there is a trend of negative information transformation process to be effective. So as to absorb the negative information, aspects of ethnocentrism group members appear. The emergence of these aspects lead to the awareness and solidarity groups to join forces in-group. Other findings also showed that the factors causing conflict among indigenous ethnic groups in West Papua can be summarized in two points, namely; The first tendency puts another group at a level lower social interaction, and the second is the attempt appointment of existence itself by an ethnic group seeking recognition coupled behavior (respect) from inside and outside the group by scapegoating other groups. In the indigenous ethnic group communication, attitude and behavior aspects play a role in the formation of a negative message, based on the main factors. The tendency of formation of the group because of its frequency along the occurring hereditary. Related conflict and ethnocentrism, can be drawn that the results of the analysis found the substance also major causal relationship. Where, a communal conflict can result from the manifestation of ethnocentrism aspects into forms of behavior conflict. In contrast with the presence of conflict can also strengthen or weaken ethnocentrism.

‘A picture of who we are as a family’: conceptualizing post‐adoption contact as practices of family display

AbstractSocial work has a central role in negotiating and supporting birth family contact following adoption from care. This paper argues that family display (Finch) offers a useful conceptual resource for understanding relationships in the adoptive kinship network as they are enacted through contact. It reports on an interpretative phenomenological analysis of adoptive parents' accounts of open adoption from care that revealed direct and indirect contact to be contexts in which they and birth relatives performed family display practices: communicating the meaning of their respective relationships with the adopted child and seeking recognition that this was a legitimate family relationship. The analysis explores how family display was performed, and the impact of validating or invalidating responses. It aims to illuminate these social and interpretive processes involved in adoptive kinship in order to inform social work support for contact. The findings suggest that successful contact may be promoted by helping adoptive and birth relatives validate the legitimacy of the other's kin connection with the child, and through arrangements that facilitate family‐like interactions.

Gender and the achievement of skilled status in the workplace: the case of women leaders in the UK Fire and Rescue Service

This article focuses on a hitherto un-researched group: women leaders within the UK Fire and Rescue Service. The process of modernizing the Fire and Rescue Service has increased expectations of workforce diversification and of women more easily entering and progressing within the organization. However, participants’ commentary testified to the difficulties faced when seeking recognition as a skilled woman in this context given the persistence of firefighter men as the occupational ideal type. Achieving recognition for both physical and non-physical skills remained an embodied, gendered and contested process and one that was not eased by promotion. Participants identified the heightened visibility that accompanied leadership as especially problematic. The findings suggest that some new elements of the modernized UK Fire and Rescue Service culture are less successful than they might be at supporting women in leadership roles.

Expanding roles of Aboriginal health workers in the primary care setting: seeking recognition.

The work of Aboriginal health workers (AHWs) in the primary care setting is discussed, emphasising that partnership with non-Indigenous health providers such as nurses and general practitioners brings complementary skills together to improve the health care available to Aboriginal clients, and to decrease the cultural and communication barriers to delivering such health care. The diverse skills and responsibilities of AHWs, which include clinical, health promotion, education and leadership roles, are illustrated. The current focus on increasing AHW educational opportunities, and the need to recognise AHWs as core health professionals and equal members of the health care team is presented. The increasing recognition of the role of AHWs in providing cultural mentorship for non-Indigenous colleagues is discussed.
