Refiguring Refugee Resistance and Vulnerabilities : Hazara Community Publishing in the Australian Resettlement Context

This research focuses on intercultural negotiations and constructions of contemporary ethnic and cultural identity in a Western country of resettlement, through collaborative community publishing with Hazara people, a persecuted cultural and linguistic group. As a research team, primarily using interviews, we examined the multicultural children’s bookmaking project and the intercultural negotiations undertaken between 2018 and 2022 which led to the publication of an Afghanistani children’s story in three languages (English, Hazaragi and Dari) with artwork created by children. A crafted research narrative is used to present participants’ voices genuinely and respectfully as they generously engaged with our research process. We build upon Judith Butler’s analytical framework of linguistic vulnerability as the generative foundation of resistance to examine how linguistic precarity for Hazaragi speakers resettling in Australia is experienced. We found that community bookmaking and publishing involved complex processes of translation and transliteration where practical and political problems about cultural and linguistic authority were confronted. Engaging in this process of intercultural negotiation affords new possibilities for the resignification of recognisable and intelligible Hazara identities. We argue that a more liveable life for refugees in linguistically precarious resettlement contexts can be supported through culturally and linguistically responsive infrastructure that is respectful of their meaning making resources

THE IMPACT OF NATURAL HAZARDS OVER TOURISTIC VALORIFICATION OF GEOMORGOLOGICAL SITES FROM BUZĂU SUBCARPATHIANS

The geological and geomorphological structure of Buzăului Subcarpathians, a subunit of Curvature Subcarpathians, increases the apparition risk of natural hazards associated with distinct risk phenomena. The intensity, frequency and length result in a rapid modification of existent relief forms (morphography, morphometry and morphology) and the apparition of new ones, but also the accentuation of slope instability, with strong effects on road and touristic infrastructure. There are frequent processes that appear in this region, such as landslides, falls and mudflows that are associated with geomorphologic and hydrologic risks. The high vulnerability of geomorphological sites to geomorphologic and hydrologic hazards has a negative influence over the region’s touristic activity. The decrease of tourist’s number and of transport activities, accommodation and other services are determined by the difficult access to these geomorphological sites: sloppy roads, floods, sites isolation, but also by the absence of promotion programs, partial or total sites destruction, the impossibility of economical exploitation etc

Bolkar Dağları kuzeydoğusunun glasyal morfolojisi ve döküntüyle örtülü buzulları

In this research the glaciers and glaciated areas of northwest of Bolkar mountains and their geographical conditions have been studied. Recent debris-covered glaciers have been determined in the higher (>2900 m) parts of north and, partially, northeast-facing cirques of two glaciated areas of Pleistocene. The surface area of the largest glacier (Medetsiz) of seven glaciers in Karagöl and Alişan Glaciated Areas is 0,23 km2. On the other hand, Eğerkaya East Glacier occupies a confined place of 0,09 km2. While all the glaciers display the evidence of glacial karst, the Kopukgöl Glacier has exceptionally three supraglacial lakes. In the light of previous data, it is concluded there have been no notable regression in the terminal of the glaciers that since last 60 years. Due to the presence of a debris cover over the glaciers that hampers supraglacially melting, it is possible to suggest that englacial and subglacial ablation should be accounted for of the ablation of glaciers.Bu çalışmada Bolkar Dağları’nın kuzeydoğu kısmındaki buzullaşma alanları ve güncel buzullar ile coğrafi koşulları incelenmektedir. Araştırma kapsamında Pleistosen’de şekillenen iki büyük buzullaşma alanının 2900 m’den yüksek, kuzey ve kısmen kuzeydoğu bakısı olan sirk alanları içinde güncel döküntü örtülü buzullar belirlenmiştir. Karagöl ve Alişan buzullaşma alanlarındaki toplam yedi adet döküntü örtülü buzuldan en büyüğü (Medetsiz Buzulu) 0,23 km2, en küçüğü (Eğerkaya Doğu Buzulu) 0,09 km2dir. Üzerlerinde buzul karstı izleri taşıyan buzullardan sadece Kopuk Buzulu’nda üç adet buzul üstü göl bulunmaktadır. Araştırma alanına ilişkin gerçekleştirilen önceki çalışmalardan elde edilen bilgiler ışığında, buzulların terminalinde son 60 yılda belirgin bir gerileme olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Üzerlerinin örtülmüş olması sebebiyle ablasyonun buzul yüzeyinden değil buzulun içi ve buzul altından olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır

PARTICULARITĂŢILE SCURGERII RÂURILOR DIN DEPRESIUNEA TRANSILVANIEI

River Runoff Particularities in the Transylvanian Depression. The Transylvanian Basin is the widest and the best individualized area with negative morphology in the Carpathian range, which covers 10.5% of the Romanian territory (237,5000 km2). Because of its central position in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic area, the Transylvanian Basin is a place of convergence for several geographical elements, among which the rivers and the human potential are especially important. The junction between the mountain frame and the depression, with its geo-morphological, geological and climatic particularities is reflected by the differentiation of the drainage system on the two categories of rivers: foreign and local, highly different as far as both the volume of water transported and the leakage regime is concerned. The river system from the basin has three main collectors, all with a different orientation: Somes to the north, Mures to the west and Olt to the south

Bridging production and comprehension: Toward an integrated computational model of error correction

Error correction in production and comprehension has traditionally been studied sepa- rately. In real-time communication, however, correction may not only depend on speaker or comprehender-internal preferences, but also the interlocutors’ knowledge of each other’s strategies. We present an integrated computational framework for error correction in both production and comprehension systems. Modeling error correction as Bayesian inference, we propose that both speaker and comprehender’s correction strategies are influenced by their prior expectations about the intended message and their knowledge of a noise monitoring model. Our results indicate that speakers and comprehenders tend to weigh phonological and semantic cues differently, and these different strategies illuminate the asymmetries and potential interactions between the two systems

The local and filmed accountability of sensorial practices: The intersubjectivity of touch as an interactional achievement

This paper contributes to a multimodal EMCA approach to sensoriality and to a reflection about how video can support it. First, it discusses how the intersubjectivity and accountability of sensorial practices are locally and endogenously achieved by and for the participants. This accountability is implemented through various multimodal resources, which make sensorial practices accessible for the co-participants. Second, it shows how the visual, verbal and sometimes co-tactile orientations of the participants are also the very basis on which researchers and other professionals build the videographability of the activity. The paper articulates these two aspects by studying activities dealing with food, in which the participants engage in touching food as a relevant sensorial practice within their ongoing course of action
