Afterlives of Indigenous Archives

Afterlives of Indigenous Archives offers a compelling critique of Western archives and their use in the development of “digital humanities.” The essays collected here present the work of an international and interdisciplinary group of indigenous scholars; researchers in the field of indigenous studies and early American studies; and librarians, curators, activists, and storytellers. The contributors examine various digital projects and outline their relevance to the lives and interests of tribal people and communities, along with the transformative power that access to online materials affords. The authors aim to empower native people to re-envision the Western archive as a site of community-based practices for cultural preservation, one that can offer indigenous perspectives and new technological applications for the imaginative reconstruction of the tribal past, the repatriation of the tribal memories, and a powerful vision for an indigenous future. This important and timely collection will appeal to archivists and indigenous studies scholars alike

Approximation and Computational Complexity of Some Hammock Variations of the Poset Cover Problem

The Hammock(⏟, , … , / )-Poset Cover Problem is a variation of the Poset Cover Problem with the same input – set {, , … , } of linear orders over the set {, , … ,}, but the solution is restricted to a set of simple hammock(⏟, , … , / ) posets. The problem is NP-Hard when ≥ but is in when = . The computational complexity of the problem when = is not yet known. In this paper, we determine the approximation complexity of the cases that have been shown to be NP-Hard. We show that the Hammock(⏟, , … , / )-Poset Cover Problem is in APX and, in particular, ( + / )-approximable, for ≥ . On the other hand, we also explore the computational complexity for the case where = [Hammock(2,2)-Poset Cover Problem]. We show that it is in when the transposition graph of the input set of linear orders is rectangula

LEVEL OF STRESS AND COPING MECHANISMS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS IN THE ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING

This research aimed to investigate the level of stress and coping mechanisms of the College of Education (CED) students at Notre Dame of Midsayap College (NDMC) in online distance learning. This study also aimed to determine if there is a significant difference in the level of stress of the respondents when grouped according to sex and age. A descriptive research design was undertaken to assess the respondents' level of stress and coping mechanisms. The data were subjected to appropriate statistical tools utilized in the study such as frequency count, percentage distribution, weighted mean, and one-way ANOVA.  Based on the major findings of the study, it can be concluded that students experience stress during their online distance learning brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bad internet connection, financial problems, disturbances in academic life, improper learning environment, tiredness, and irritation in performing their schoolwork are the significant causes of the stress of the students in dealing with their online distance learning. It was also found that they have different coping mechanisms in dealing with stress in their online distance learning. Such coping mechanisms were praying or meditating, creating a conducive learning environment, thinking positively, and playing online games. It was determined that male respondents experienced more stress in online distance learning than female respondents. It was also noted that younger respondents experience more stress than older respondents.  Article visualizations

DINÂMICAS DE INTEGRAÇÃO AÉREA E ESTRATÉGIAS DE USO CORPORATIVO DO TERRITÓRIO BRASILEIRO: O CASO DA AZUL LINHAS AÉREAS

Nas últimas décadas, o sistema de transporte aéreo brasileiro experimentou um significativo processo de expansão e reconfiguração, resultado, por um lado, da ampliação das demandas por circulação rápida instituída no território nacional e impulsionado, por outro lado, pelas políticas neoliberais de “desregulação do setor aéreo” promovidas pelo Estado. A pesquisa que resultou neste artigo teve como objetivo geral compreender a lógica que rege o atual processo de integração aérea do território nacional e buscou analisar, especialmente, as estratégias de uso do território estabelecidas pelas empresas aéreas operantes no país. Para tanto, realizou-se uma breve análise da territorialidade da Azul Linhas Aéreas. O estudo da topologia territorial da Azul se constituiu num caso bastante representativo para a compreensão do atual processo de integração aérea nacional, bem como se definiu como um exemplo emblemático do uso seletivo, desigual e hierárquico do território realizado pelas grandes companhias aéreas no Brasil

Systematic pathological component scores for skin-containing vascularized composite allografts

Clinical management of skin-containing vascularized composite allografts (VCA) requires accurate assessment of the graft status, typically based on skin biopsies. The Banff 2007 Working Classification proposed 4 grades of acute rejection, but did not score individual features or include vascular rejection. Here we report a systematic scoring system developed from MHC-mismatched porcine skin-containing VCA. Biopsies from 20 VCA, 9 autologous skin flaps and 9 normal skin were analyzed to optimize the methodology and set thresholds. The components quantified were: perivascular cells/dermal vessel (pc), perivascular dermal infiltrate area (pa), luminal leukocytes/capillary or venule (c), epidermal infiltrate (ei), epidermal apoptosis or necrosis (e), endarteritis (v), and chronic allograft vasculopathy (cav). To evaluate prognostic value, we scored a separate group of 28 serial biopsies from 8 recipients (4 that were ultimately accepted and 4 that rejected. Parameters on the initial biopsies predicting later graft rejection included pc (p < 0.02), pa (p < 0.03), ei (p < 0.0005), e (p < 0.003) and c (p < 0.005). Reproducibility between 2 pathologists blinded to clinical data was acceptable, with weighted kappa scores for pc (0.673), pa (0.399), ei (0.464), e (0.663), v (0.766), and c (0.642). This component scoring system can be adapted clinically, since human and porcine skin are highly similar. Vascular lesions in VCA are also highlighted in this system and could impact graft outcome. The component score approach complements Banff 2007 grades and will enable the establishment of clinically significant thresholds

Learning Style Preferences and their Relationship to Linguistic Competence

The immediate objective of this paper is to determine the relationship between learning styles, demographic profile of the respondents and their linguistic competence. Primarily, this research endeavor desires to find out how learning styles sway students’ learning absorption specifically of the English Subject. The learning theories and models that underpinned the study were the constructivists’ and cognitivists’ theory of learning. The Dunn and Dunn learning style model which has five key elements, namely, environmental emotional; physiological; psychological and sociological was used. Communicative Competence model created by Celce-Murcia, Dornyei and Thurrel (1995) focusing on Syntax, Morphology and Orthography also supported the study. To gather the data needed, the researchers made a personally-drafted learning styles inventory and applied the descriptive correlational method to analyze the results. An analysis of this study yields that the over-all pre-dominant learning style preference of the respondents is Sociological preference. The Demographic profile of the student respondents as to age, birth-order, monthly-income, gender, ethno linguistic origin, and parents’ educational attainment also showed significant relationship to the elements of learning style preferences. Lastly, it was found that Syntax has no significant relationship towards Environmental, Emotional, Sociological and Physiological Preference but has a huge correlation to Psychological Preference. Morphology, however, has no significant relationship to all the learning style elements. As with Syntax, Orthography showed no significant to all the learning style elements but Psychological Preference
