This essay aims to emphasize the importance of investigating the pedagogical dimension of literature, reading, writing, images, and other narrative arts within the framework of a possible pedagogy of narration. This field of study is growing, with the emergence of new teachings, new research paths, and the establishment of new academic positions within Italian universities. For there to be a “pedagogy of narration”, it is essential that the analysis of what is narrated, read, heard, or observed focuses on the educational essence that emanates from narratives. This is not about answering the simple question of what a particular text can or cannot teach, but rather about identifying a successful formula that combines artistic/literary value, historical/testimonial significance, and educational persistence with scientific and epistemological coherence. This would allow the connection between the pedagogy of history, the pedagogy of memory, and, more broadly, the pedagogy of narration.
Anushirvan Sasani often has a positive image in the stories narrated in Persian poetry and prose texts and is always described as a symbol of justice. However, in one of the Masnavis left over from the last centuries, Anushirvan is not only not just, but also a lustful king who tries to take possession of a chaste married woman by force and coercion. In this work, the pious woman, despite Anushirvan's many insistences, is not willing to go into his solitude. To the extent that out of necessity and in order to get rid of Anushirvan, she plucks out her own eyes and sends them to her, and it is after this incident that Anushirvan takes the path of regret and repentance; To the extent that out of necessity and rejection of Anushirvan, she takes out her eyes and sends them to him, and after that Anushirvan takes the path of repentance.This short poem is the work of an unknown poet named Khalil Shirazi, the oldest manuscript of which dates back to the middle of the 11th century AH and is preserved in the National Library of Iran. Some researchers believe that this Khalil Shirazi is the same Khalil Zargar Rashti, the court poet of Jamshid Khan Ishaqi in the 10th century and the owner of the missing Jamshidname...
La crisis ambiental por el cambio climático ha obligado a muchos Estados a dirigir esfuerzos hacia la transición medioambiental para reducir la probabilidad de ocurrencia de una situación con un impacto negativo sobre su población o medioambiente. El Perú no es la excepción. En tal sentido, surge la necesidad de identificar y categorizar sus distritos según un determinado riesgo socioambiental. Ante tal reto, se construyó e implementó una metodología cuantitativa multietápica, la cual hizo uso tanto del aprendizaje automatizado (supervisado y no supervisado) como de la econometría espacial. Los resultados de la metodología, visualizados a través de índices de riesgo emergentes, evidenciaron la existencia de 165 distritos considerados zonas con riesgo socioambiental (ZRS), ubicados en su mayoría en la franja costera. Finalmente, se concluye que el patrón y replicabilidad del modelo de desarrollo urbanístico en el Perú actualmente no es coherente con los esfuerzos de conservación y preservación del medioambiente.
This chapter provides a general explanation of the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®). The SHIME is one of the few gut models that mimics the entire gastrointestinal tract incorporating stomach, small intestine and different colon regions. After a general description of the model’s development history and an overview of the specific features that distinguish SHIME from other gut models, we will give some insight in the general protocol of running SHIME experiments. However, with the SHIME being a highly flexible experimental setup, we also dedicate some part of this chapter discussing the modifications that can be performed, especially with respect to simulation of the mucosal (micro-)environment and interaction with host cells.
The novel <i>al-Bi</i><i>ṭrīq al-Aswad</i> [<i>The Black Penguin</i>] by the Iraqi author Diaa Jubaili is a rare example of a contemporary Arabic novel that centers the experiences of Iraq’s Black population, most of whom live near Basra in Iraq’s south. The novel’s mixed-race narrator recounts his life story in the form of letters addressed to international figures, highlighting the life of his family on the margins of Iraqi society and his later involvement with the real-life civil rights group, the Movement of Free Iraqis. This article draws on Stuart Hall’s dual conception of cultural identity in diaspora to frame the characters’ search for a Black Iraqi identity as a dynamic engagement with memory, one that represents a counternarrative in the face of legacies of African slavery and legal discrimination.

There is a climate of insecurity in Nigeria owing to pervasive violent crime across the country. Although the wide socio-economic gap between the rich and the poor, high rate of unemployment, and governance deficit are blamed for rising insecurity, analysts often neglect the role of the built environment. Informal housing and unplanned neighborhoods are often stigmatized as spaces of crime in the global South. Drawing from the conceptual framework of permeability and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), we investigate the vulnerability of residential neighborhoods to security threats in Benin City. Vulnerability was interrogated at two levels. At the neighborhood level, our findings showed that environmental risk factors associated with informal housing and incremental development render the neighborhoods permeable and limit crime policing. At the residential level, our findings revealed that inappropriate target hardening limits natural surveillance and communal use of outhouse facilities renders homes indefensible. Situational crimes such as burglary and robbery are high in the absence of regular police patrols and neighborhood watch. Conclusions point to the need to incorporate informal housing and environmental risk factors into CPTED literature in the context of the cities in the global South, establishment of neighborhood or community policing to partner with the Nigerian police in crime fighting, and settlement upgrading to enhance natural surveillance, police patrol and rapid response to distress calls in the event of criminal attacks.

<b>Background:</b> Brooke–Spiegler Syndrome is a rare genetic autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance. Its main feature consists of the development of multiple adnexal tumors that originate from the follicular-sebaceous-apocrine unit, most commonly: cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas and spiradenomas. <b>Case presentation:</b> We present four cases of Brooke–Spiegler Syndrome found in our clinic, as well as their clinicopathological traits and the surgical techniques used in their management. The familial history of three of the presented cases supports the genetic component of the disease. Cylindromas, spiradenomas and trichoepitheliomas coexisted in one of the cases presented. The therapeutic options used were electrocautery, CO2 laser, as well as tumor debulking followed by closure with metal staples. <b>Discussion:</b> The treatment remains a challenge and must be individualized based on the type, location and number of the lesions. Conservative methods such as CO2 laser and tumor debulking accompanied by closure with metal staples remain a viable option taking into account the large number of lesions. As patients usually develop multiple neoplasms throughout their lifetime, repeated procedures may be needed. <b>Conclusion:</b> Considering the few numbers of Brooke–Spiegler syndrome cases in the current literature, the authors report these patients in order to increase awareness and to help establish the most appropriate approach in managing the disease.

The article deals with an analysis of educational aspects of the Ukrainian national context of Ukrainization of the 1920s from the perspective of studying the historiography of the issue. The author focuses on historiographical sources and scientific statements of historical, historico-pedagogical and cultural studies of the prerequisites, content, features and civilizational dimension of the educational aspect of Ukrainization as a broad policy in relation to the institutionalization and development of education, Ukrainian by nature and content. The article draws attention to coverage by historians of reforming problems of school education of that time, their analysis of ways for providing schools with required Ukrainian literature. It is pointed out that historians put an emphasis on the fact that despite its ideological foundations (efforts to implant Bolshevik power) the results of Ukrainization were related to building up the nation and state. It is stated that the current historiographical process looking into the educational dimension of Ukrainization is represented by a wide spectrum of scientific works which range of subject interests allows to highlight Ukrainization of educational space of that time as a holistic and system process which content was underpinned by objective conditions and was well thought-out and logical. The article outlines some prospects of examining the educational dimension of Ukrainization and draws attention to the value of its implementation experience in the context of the development of the modern education system of Ukraine.

Este ensaio expõe o sentido da proposição especulativa “arte contemporânea é arte pós-conceitual”. Partindo de uma elaboração conceitual do contemporâneo como uma forma disjuntiva do tempo histórico (como ideia, problema, ficção, e realidade globalmente transnacional), ele passa a dar um relato das convergências e mudanças que se reforçam mutualmente no caráter da obra de arte e nas relações sociais dos espaços artísticos. Trata-se da tradução da conferência realizada na Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Villa Sucota, Roma, Itália, em 9 de Julho de 2010.
In Polish literature on the subject, the military governor’s office is usually associated with the organisation of the administrative system that prevailed in the partitioning states (Poland’s Partitions 1791-1918). However, the governor’s office had already been known in Poland during the Duchy of Warsaw (1807-1815), when it was, like many other solutions of administrative and military law, imported directly from France. In the structure of Polish public organs, the office of governor was created for the first time during the Polish-Austrian war in 1809. Although no documents have survived from which we could learn of the competences of a Polish governor in those times, what is known is that the description of his authority followed closely the model set out by the French legislation. It was not before the Polish-Russian war in 1830-1831 that first attempts were made to independently set out the authority o f a governor of the Polish state, but even then, at least initially, the solutions set forth by the regime o f the Napoleonic decree were directly referred to and copied. In the second half of the 19th century, shortly before the collapse of the November Uprising, a draft describing the office and competences of a Polish governor was finally ready to be put forward for parliamentary discussion, but it was already too late for the Sejm to deal with it.

En el Barroco hispano la cosmovisión desarrollada asumió que la vida era una constante guerra espiritual. Esta percepción se componía de los conceptos de amor y violencia. Asimismo, esta comprensión fue incorporada a la política, en la que los conceptos anteriores se desarrollaron de diversas formas. La guerra en sus distintas formulaciones nos puede informar de las variantes políticas desarrolladas entre el amor y la violencia durante el Barroco hispano.
El conjunto de los ensayos forma parte de lo que genéricamente se ha denominado estudios del performance. Como una de las notas constitutivas del performance es la creación de la presencia, los trabajos se orientan a dilucidar este fenómeno, pero se ocupa particularmente de la presencia de lo Unheimliche, término alemán discutido entre otros por Freud que alude a lo familiar que deviene extraño, y que ha sido traducido como lo ominoso o lo siniestro. De aquí la aparición en los textos ya de la extrañeza y presencia del gitano en el flamenco como emblema de lo español; ya de lo monstruoso o cierta concepción del texto en las pastorelas purépechas; o bien lo Unheimliche en el teatro, en las máquinas, en las imágenes e iconoclasia.

العزاء يرتبط بالموت ارتباطًا وثيقًا، وهو بذلک مبني على أساس الموت الذي لا مفرّ منه. ولما کان الأمر کذلک کان لابد من العزاء في ذلک المجتمع، الذي عُرفت فيه الألفة والمحبة والتواصل؛ لتقديم ما يمکن تقديمه من: کلام حسن، وموعظة شافية، ومودة خالصة، وحزن باکٍ إلى صاحب العزاء؛ شفاءً للغليل وتخفيف ما يمکن تخفيفه من ألم وعذاب کانا ينتابان أهل الميت حين وفاته، أو بمعنى آخر: إن العزاء هو ذلک الدواء الذي طالما کان يبحث عنه صاحب العزاء وآل بيته، فلا يجده إلا حينما يفد إليهم من يشارکهم المصيبة، ويُسلّيهم عن مُصابهم، ويُقدِّم لهم المعونة المعنوية، وربما حتى المادية في ذلک المجتمع، الذي کان من مقوّماته: الحاجة إلى تلک المعونات في مثل تلک الحال؛ ولأن الموضوع بطبيعته مفتوح على مرّ العصور التاريخية، التي لا نستطيع حصرها في هذا البحث. من ثَمَّ سيقتصر حديثنا عنه على العصر العباسي الثاني کأنموذج للمجتمع العربي الإسلامي ککل، کما سيکون الحديث عنه مشترکًا ما بين العامة من الناس، والخاصة من: خلفاء وأمراء، وولاة، وعمال، وقادة، وقضاة، ووجهاء، وغيرهم من أصحاب الشأن والسلطان
