Cantatas with Violins, Part 2
Authors: Gasparini Francesco
Published: March 2019

Francesco Gasparini (1661–1727) was an unquestionably important musical figure of his time: he was a leading composer and theorist—active in Venice and Rome—and an esteemed teacher, and his continuo treatise, L'armonico pratico al cimbalo (Venice, 1708), was reprinted throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The present edition includes all of Gasparini's extant cantatas with violins and basso continuo. These works divide into two groups: the first comprises four cantatas dating from his first stay in Rome (in the 1680s), when he was a member of the congregazione of S. Cecilia and enrolled in Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili's orchestra; the second is a united set of sixteen cantatas composed in Rome in 1716–18 for Prince Ruspoli. Together they provide an interesting means of comparing Gasparini's early and late compositional styles and techniques, and they fill in a tessera in the complex mosaic of the Italian Baroque cantata during the early eighteenth century, a crucial period in the development of cantata aesthetics and musical style.
Sacred Music, Part 1
Authors: Boesset Antoine
Published: March 2019

Antoine Boesset (1586–1643), surintendant de la musique de la chambre to Louis XIII, has long been known as one of the most important composers active in early seventeenth-century France, but until recently he was believed to have produced only secular airs de cour. This edition presents for the first time Boesset's newly identified sacred works, a repertory of some seventy compositions for the nuns of the Royal Abbey of Montmartre, Paris. Scored for multiple high voices, bass, and basse continue, Boesset's works include three complete mass ordinary settings (through-composed and alternatim), Te Deums and Magnificats (again both through-composed and alternatim), psalms, and a number motets for important feasts and ceremonies at Montmartre. Montmartre was also one of the first religious houses to adopt so-called “plain chant musical,” a type of newly composed or modified chant. Several works of the edition make particular use of this kind of chant, most notably the alternatim hymn settings, which use unusual metered versions of the newly composed hymn chants in alternation with the polyphony. Boesset's compositions for Montmartre represent by far the largest single repertory of sacred music from the reign of Louis XIII, and, while not showing the influence of the newest Italian practices, nevertheless anticipate several of the musical techniques previously associated with Henri Dumont, in particular the use of the basse continue. These works thus fill a significant gap in our understanding of musical developments in seventeenth-century France and demonstrate that sacred music of the highest quality emerged during a period that scholars have long dismissed as being of little interest.
German Te Deum
Authors: Stölzel Gottfried Heinrich
Published: March 2019

Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690–1749) was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the greatest composers of his time. He spent most of his career as court composer in Saxe-Gotha. Unfortunately, a large portion of his substantial oeuvre has been lost due to the poor oversight of his successor, Georg Benda (1722–95). Still, a significant number of his pieces survive in copies requested by the nearby court at Sondershausen. Among these is a German Te Deum, setting Martin Luther's translation of the traditional text. Stölzel conceivably wrote it in 1717 when he was commissioned to produce music for the two hundredth anniversary celebration of the Lutheran reformation in Bayreuth. Throughout much of the piece Stölzel follows Luther's tune and antiphonal structure. The work's substantial duration, full orchestration, and stylistic variety make it a good introduction to the composer's early work.
Venere e Adone
Authors: Weigl Joseph
Published: March 2019

Prince Anton Esterházy, faced with staging important festivities in 1791 in the absence of his court composer Haydn, turned to the young Viennese musician Joseph Weigl. He commissioned a dramatic work on a libretto by Giovanni Battista Casti to be performed by members of the Viennese court opera. Inspired by these musicians (including three soloists who had created roles in Mozart's operas) and by the prospect of an audience that included some of the Habsburg monarchy's wealthiest and most influential patrons, Weigl produced a well-crafted score that contains moments of extraordinary beauty and dramatic power.

The libretto of Venere e Adone calls itself a cantata; the composer himself, in his memoirs, referred to Venere e Adone as “eine grosse Cantate.” But in both text and music it conforms closely to the subspecies of Italian serious opera known as the azione teatrale or festa teatrale—typical features of which are brevity, a small cast, an important role for chorus, a plot based on Greek mythology, and a celebratory function.
Three Overtures
Authors: MacCunn Hamish
Published: March 2019

Hamish MacCunn (1868–1916) had his first big success with his concert overture The Land of the Mountain and the Flood, which premiered on 5 November 1887 at the Crystal Palace through the auspices of Sir George Grove (1820–1900) and under the baton of August Manns (1825–1907). A few months later, Manns introduced MacCunn's orchestral ballad, The Ship o' the Fiend, and The Dowie Dens o' Yarrow premiere followed on 13 October 1888. These three overtures established MacCunn as a composer, were three of his most regularly performed works during his lifetime, and they remain his most often recorded and performed works today. All three works were published around the time of their premieres, although fewer than a dozen libraries in the United States and the United Kingdom hold these scores. This edition is the first publication of any of MacCunn's scores (not including arrangements by others) since the mid-twentieth century.
Cantiones sacrae (1578) Part 1
Authors: Pevernage Andreas
Published: March 2019

With his Cantiones aliquot sacrae . . . quibus addita sunt elogia nonnulla (1578) Andreas Pevernage issued the fruit of fifteen years' work as chapel master at the Church of Our Lady in Kortrijk. The volume is a remarkable one, both from a musical and a historical standpoint. It is large for a music book of its time, consisting of sixty-three Latin motets, forty-eight of which are “cantiones sacrae,” i.e., sacred songs, and twenty-five of which are “elogia,” i.e., occasional and homage motets. The sacred pieces fall into two groups, those for the temporale and those for the sanctorale and general use. It is the large body of occasional pieces, though—some written to honor national figures such as Margaret of Parma, the archbishop, and the duke of Croÿ; and others to mark important events in the lives of Pevernage's fellow citizens—that constitutes the most unusual and historically significant aspect of the volume. This book presents a musical record of a sixteenth-century composer's activities both in his role as director of church music and as musician to the citizens of his town during the 1560s and '70s.

Complete Unaccompanied Madrigals, Part 4
Authors: Luzzaschi Luzzasco
Published: March 2019

This edition presents, in four volumes, the complete unaccompanied madrigals of Luzzasco Luzzaschi, director of music at the Ferrarese court at the end of the sixteenth century. Luzzaschi was among the most important and most admired musicians of the period, the teacher of Girolamo Frescobaldi, the mentor of Carlo Gesualdo, and the object of explicit admiration from Claudio Monteverdi, Claudio Merulo, Alfonso Fontanelli, Adriano Banchieri, and many others. Given Luzzaschi's importance, all surviving parts of his seven books of five-voice madrigals are transcribed. Given the importance of the Ferrarese school of literary madrigals, whose (otherwise usually unpublished) texts Luzzaschi was given to set, these texts have been transcribed and translated. Each setting by Luzzaschi is given a critical commentary by the editor, which often includes discussion of settings of the same texts by Luzzaschi's near contemporaries—settings which, if unpublished in modern edition are included in the present edition.

Part 4 of the unaccompanied madrigals of Luzzaschi incorporates the madrigals of his first two books of madrigals. Dedicated to Lucrezia d'Este, the First Book (1571) is an exceptional first book in both its length and its preponderance of texts by the avant-garde poets working at the court of Ferrara, including Giovan Battista Pigna. Only three of the five partbooks appear to have survived, perhaps because of the limited distribution by a local printer, the Ferrarese Francesco de' Rossi. The Second Book (1576), the first of Luzzaschi's books to be published by the commercial Venetian printer Angelo Gardano and the first book of Luzzaschi's for which all parts survive, includes madrigals from the early 1570s through 1575 or early 1576. The edition also includes twelve additional madrigals heretofore unavailable in modern editions, most of them settings by Luzzaschi's near contemporaries of texts set by Luzzaschi in his first two books.

Dyadic Measurement Invariance and Its Importance for Replicability in Romantic Relationship Research
Authors: Sakaluk John Kitchener , Kilshaw Robyn , Fisher Alexandra Noelle , Leshner Connor Emont
Published: March 2019

Comparisons of group means, variances, correlations, and/or regression slopes involving psychological variables rely on an assumption of measurement invariance–that the latent variables under investigation have equivalent meaning and measurement across group. When measures are noninvariant, replicability suffers, as comparisons are either conceptually meaningless, or hindered by inflated Type I error rates. We propose that the failure to account for interdependence amongst dyad members when testing measurement invariance may be a potential source of unreplicable findings in relationship research. We develop fully dyadic versions of invariance-testing in an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model framework, and propose a Registered Report for gauging the extent of dyadic (non)invariance in romantic relationship research.
Language Style Matching : A Comprehensive List of Articles and Tools
Authors: Shaw Heather , Taylor Paul , Conchie Stacey , Ellis David Alexander
Published: March 2019

Language style matching (LSM) is a technique in behavioural analytics which assess the stylistic similarities in language use across groups and individuals. The procedure targets the similarity of functions words, analysing the way people use language rather than the content. Function words consist of pronouns, articles, conjunctions, prepositions, auxiliary verbs e.t.c. which have a syntactical role in language. To assess the similarity of language use between interlocutors, the percentage of function words used can be compared within and across conversations using a metric designed to calculate the matching of specific word categories and overall LSM (Ireland et al., 2011) . It is also possible to assess language style matching to a group’s aggregate style. High language style matching is an indicator of interpersonal and group mimicry and has been shown to influence psychological factors and behavioural outcomes. These are listed in this preprint and categorised by topic. The list aims to be a complete summary of the existing literature to date exploring LSM. Therefore, please email the author if there are any projects and tools not listed below.
Using Machine Learning to Estimate the Heterogeneous Effects of Livestock Transfers
Authors: Mullally Conner , Rivas Mayra , McArthur Travis
Published: March 2019

We evaluate a program in Guatemala offering training and transfers of a local chicken variety using a randomized phase-in design with imperfect compliance. We do not find strong evidence for or against positive average intent-to-treat effects on household-level outcomes, including indicators of expenditure, calorie and protein intake, diet quality, egg consumption and production, as well as chicken ownership and management. Among girls between the ages of six and 60 months, we find that the program reduced stunting by 23.5 (+/- 19.4) percentage points, while also improving other height and weight outcomes. Boys are more likely to suffer from intestinal illness, which could explain differences in program impacts by gender. Using machine learning methods, we show that the poorest households enjoyed the largest impacts on diet quality and animal protein consumption, while children in the poorest households experienced the largest impacts on the probability of consuming animal source foods. Larger effects on animal source food consumption among children in relatively poor households did not translate into greater impacts on height or weight.
The Autonomous Learners’ Language Learning Strategies at Senior High Schools in Coastal Areas of Riau Province - Indonesia
Authors: Ras Fakhri
Published: March 2019

This study focuses on examining the use of Language Learning Strategies (LLS) by autonomous learners at senior high schools in relation to the type of school and academic factors in Dumai, Bengkalis, and Selat Panjang (coastal areas). The study also concentrates on the preferred by ways operated by the selected respondents to master general English, four language skills, vocabulary, and structure.  The target groups of the research are autonomous learners ( more or less 3000 students) from state senior high schools in three different small towns. Due to the homogenous characters of the target groups; academic achievement, age, and learning motivation, the sample is taken randomly as big as 10% out of the population. To collect the needed data quantitatively, the strategy inventory for language learning (SILL) (Oxford 1990) is applied, and for the qualitative data, an interview is conducted to 60 selected learners out of the sample. To analyze the quantitative data, descriptive and inferential statistics are used and for the qualitative data, listing the preferred ways are made accordingly. The findings reveal that the various LLS are used based on academic and types of school backgrounds. The social strategy is the highest use of LLS (402) among other strategies (memory, cognition, compensation, metacognition, and affection). The qualitative findings exist in the body of this article (table 6 – through table 8). The suggestion is that LLS would be better to be well instructed and discussed in the classroom.
TEACHERS’ STRATEGY OF POSITIONING IN TEACHING YOUNG LEARNERS
Authors: Restuningrum Novi
Published: March 2019

Abstract: Teacher’s position in the classroom depends on several aspects including the classroom s/he teaches in – whether s/he has the ability to move around – and the nature of the activities s/he is going to do in the class. As teacher's gestures including positioning and body posture bring the particular message to the students, the position whether a teacher should stand in front of the students, crouch down near them or sit with them on the floor needs to be considered when the teacher plans the lesson. This paper presents a discussion on how teachers of young learners position themselves in the classroom, the observed students’ behaviour during the lesson as the impacts of the positioning, and the teachers’ perspectives of the impacts of their positioning towards the students’ movement in the classroom. The study is done through observations towards an interview with two English teachers teaching classes of children of early years (4-5 years old), at a pre-school in Jakarta. It portrays a description of the teachers' position in the classroom and why they choose a particular position for a particular activity. The findings show that standing, sitting and kneeling in front of the students or among them is the most chosen position. Analysis on how students react to their lesson in relation to their position while teaching is also presented after a discussion on the reasons of teachers choosing their position in the classroom. As a final point, I elaborate the discussion on how teacher's positioning strategy can be implemented to help improving teacher's teaching practice. The presentation is envisioned for language teachers, language teaching researchers, teacher trainers, and those who are interested in the area of Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL).

Published: March 2019

Abstract: This case study was focused on a review of the recent management of the language Centre programme, University of Riau. The data were collected using triangulation method where some instruments were used, two sets of questionnaires for the students and staff, a semi-structured interview for the three staff, the results of students’ exams, and policy documents. The findings provided the evidence that the students were more motivated to study English for their future employment (instrumental motivation), whereas the staffs were more motivated to teach English for intrinsic rewards rather than extrinsic rewards. The findings also showed that the quality of teaching was generally good but it was suggested that the number of the computer for CALL program be increased, and more importantly, among the staff and the Manager be continuously built for a strong teamwork which could positively affect the implementation of the programme.
ANALYSIS OF EFL STUDENTS’ CITATION PRACTICES AND PROBLEMS IN ACADEMIC WRITING
Authors: Rezeki Yanti Sri
Published: March 2019

Abstract: Citing sources correctly is vital in academic writing including research proposals. Despite its significance, students seem to perform it poorly due to lack of knowledge and awareness of its role in their writing. As the result, they are often accused of committing plagiarism. One of the ways to prevent students from committing plagiarism is by providing them with sufficient knowledge and skills related to proper citations. This study is a preliminary effort to identify student citation practices within the English Education department of a state university in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Employing qualitative content analysis, the researcher examined samples of students’ proposals to describe the ways in which citations were written and the common problems that occurred. The findings suggest that students mostly cited as non-integral/non-reporting. The study also reveals that students’ most common mistakes in the citation are found in language and content. The study concludes with the need to provide students with clear guidelines for citation and strong remarks on plagiarism.
EFL STUDENTS’ VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES OF CULTURE LEARNING: ARE THEY WORTHY TO FOSTER INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE?
Authors: Marwa Marwa
Published: March 2019

Abstract: In the light of globalization, intercultural competence is crucially demanded by the language learners to be successful speakers and mediators in international interaction and communication. This study aims at investigating how the Indonesian EFL students view and undertake the culture learning in their classrooms. This study was a survey research carried out in October and December 2016 in two state universities: 1) University of Riau (UR) located in Riau Province and 2) Brawijaya University (UB) in Malang-East Java. There were a total of 80 participants involved by using random sampling. The student questionnaire (adopted and adapted from HST. Kiet, 2011) consisting of six statements was used. To answer the research question, descriptive statistics analysis (Sum of score, Mean and Standard Deviation) was used to analyse the completed student questionnaire. The findings reveal that the students showed positive attitudes in culture learning purposes; they mainly learned cultural facts oriented to target culture exploration as the dominant cultural learning in the classroom; they used media such as internet, TV and literature as the most dominant cultural learning sources outside the classroom; they found that culture learning benefited them to their EFL learning; and finally they agreed that the target culture should be taught together with the target language in EFL classes. Therefore, it is suggested that future researchers do such an in-depth study pertaining to students’ ICC learning and development in the environment of classroom interactions.

Abstract: This study aims to improve student’s science literacy skills by using 5E Learning Cycle model. The treatment was conducted collaboratively for the topic ‘Structures and functions of plants’ involving Biology lectures, pre-service teachers, and the science school teachers of SMPN 21 Pekanbaru in August 2018. The focus of the observation was on science literacy and learning activities of students, both individually and in groups. Science literacy including scientific, procedural and epistemic knowledge was measured through worksheets. While the aspects of explaining scientific phenomena, evaluating and design scientific investigations, interpreting data, and the evidence were measured using an assessment sheet performance. Curiosity, scientific argumentation and environmental awareness were measured using the observation sheet. Learning activities carried out inside and outside the classroom had a positive impact on literacy skill science. The data showed the students individually or in groups could answer questions in the worksheet, more actively engaged, more enthusiastic and more curious when observing, identifying and grouping plants using real objects around school environment. Some questions arose from students when identifying corn and carrot plants about vegetative and generative structures. Overall, the implementation of 5E Learning Cycle model can improve students' scientific literacy in learning science at SMPN 21 Pekanbaru
A SURVEY ON THE TEACHING OF WRITING AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN RIAU PROVINCE
Authors: Eliwarti Eliwarti , Aruan Rumiri
Published: March 2019

Abstract: Teaching writing in senior high schools provides students with knowledge, experience and strategies of writing simple texts to more complex ones. This research aims at looking at how writing skills are taught at senior high schools in Riau Province-Indonesia. Specifically, the research answers the research questions about teaching materials, methods/strategies used by English teachers in the teaching of writing and students’ attitude towards writing skills. The samples are second year English Department students of FKIP Riau University coming from different cities and regencies in Riau Province. The data were collected through distributing a set of questionnaire. The results show that most writing materials consist of linguistics knowledge such as sentence structure, vocabulary and punctuation and lack of writing skills and strategies like brainstorming, drafting, revising and editing. Moreover, most teachers are product oriented in their teaching of writing. Finally, most students (65.9) have low attitude towards writing skills. From these findings, it can be concluded that: writing materials need to be focussed on writing skills and strategies, teachers’ knowledge and skills on teaching methods/strategies need to be upgraded and students’ attitude towards writing skills needs to be improved. These findings can be used as a reference to do some improvement in the teaching of writing in senior high schools in Riau province.

Evidence Based Medicine: A Paradigm for Clinical Practice
Authors: Reddy KR
Published: March 2019

Evidence based medicine (EBM) is the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. In the practice of EBM it is the physician’s duty to find the best and most current information and apply it judiciously for the benefit of the patient.

The practice of EBM involves formulating a clear clinical question from a patient’s problem, searching the literature to acquire the evidence, then critically appraising the evidence for its validity and usefulness, and applying the results by implementing useful findings into clinical practice, and finally evaluating this application of evidence on patient. An important rule in EBM is that it starts with the patient and ends with the patient.

Evidence based medicine requires new skills of the physician, including efficient literature searching and the application of formal rules of evidence evaluation from the clinical literature.

Incorporation of EBM into one’s practice will not only make one a better clinician, it also allows one to provide the best possible quality of medical care to his or her patients. Thus EBM can be incorporated as an integral part of the medical curriculum.
A Multi-Center Assessment of Thyroid Function Test Precision in Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA) Systems
Authors: Bhatt Mahendra Prasad , Gyawali P , Joshi RK , Sharma B , Bhatt NP , Bhandari S , Nagila A
Published: March 2019

Background: Chemiluminiscence immunoassay (CLIA) is exclusively pragmatic technology for the analysis of biomarker for diagnosis of thyroid disorders. However, performance characteristics of different chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) systems supplied by different manufacturers in diverse set up for thyroid function test (TFT) has not yet been studied well.

Objective: Our aim is to evaluate laboratory results by assessment of the reproducibility and repeatability of TFTs in three different diagnostic set up to assure the quality of thyroid hormone assay using chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) instruments: Advia Centaur CP (Siemens), Access 2 (Beckman Coulter) and Liaison (Diasorin).

Materials and Methods: Among the adult male and female individuals visited for thyroid hormone assay, 51 normal individuals were selected for the study. Three aliquots of serum samples were distributed to assess the reproducibility of three different CLIA equipments operated in three diagnostic centers. Additional three aliquots of serum were analyzed weekly for TFT (fFT3, fFT4 and TSH) to check the repeatability of assay in ADVIA Centaur CP set up. Assay precision was determined by reproducibility and repeatability of test results.

Results: Results of TFTs of serum samples obtained from three different interlaboratory assays using different CLIA systems have achieved good precision showing minimal variance (P>0.05) and acceptable reproducibility. Results are also precise with adequate repeatability showing minimal variance (P >0.05) obtained from the three different intra-laboratory assays in a single CLIA system using ADVIA Centaur CP by same team.

Conclusion: Our study elucidates the thyroid hormone assay performance of CLIA systems in three centers, which has shown assay precision with good reproducibility and repeatability of thyroid hormone assay. Thus, the analysis of precision as an essential component of quality control is necessary to deliver precise diagnostic services.
Slow or spectacular death: Reconsidering the legal history of blockade and submarines in World War I
Authors: Nelson Robert L , Waters Christopher
Published: March 2019

In popular culture and imagination, World War I was a bloody, muddy, senseless, almost accidental conflict. International law seems far removed from the causes of the war or the way hostilities were conducted. This seeming irrelevance of international law in popular imagination is reflected in intellectual, literary, and scholarly accounts. However, during the centenary of the war, it is time to rethink the role law played in this first large-scale conflict of the twentieth century. Drawing on recent legal historiography as well as original research, this article will argue, through a look at the conduct of naval warfare, that law was central to how Allied, Central, and neutral states navigated the conflict. Specifically, we examine the role law played in the practices of the warring parties in navigating the interdiction of – and attacks on – the civilian shipping of belligerents and neutrals.

The aim of this experiment was to determine the time required for the reestablishment of the ovarian luteal cyclic activity (OLCA) in dry crossbred Holstein-Zebu (HZ) cows, thin and in anestrus with inactive ovaries. Twelve animals with an average weight of 315.0  29.4 kg, were fed with forage and concentrate, in order to gain weight until reestablishment of OLCA. Blood samples for Progesterone analysis and weight measures of the animals were taken weekly. Estrous cycles onset was determined by plasma P4 level > 1.0 ng/ml, by ovarian rectal palpation and visual estrus detection. The OLCA recovery time was 114.0  37.9 days, after an overall weight gain of 77.7  11.2 kg/animal, which is equivalent a 0.68 kg/day gain. The six control animals received a maintenance diet for the low weight and remained in anestrus during the experiment. The delay in the OLCA recovery time in crossbred HZ cows, thin and in anestrus shows how is undesirable to allow the animal to get in anestrus by sub nutrition. There is increase on the service time as well as on the parturition interval, with a negative impact on the economic performance of the dairy activity.

The automated calf feeders, created in 1980 in Germany, have been gaining more space recently. It is a device that automates the process of providing milk and starter enabling more precise control of individual consumption of liquid and solid food. It is aimed, with this literature review, to gather information to clarify the operation of this technology and discuss their advantages and limitations, besides to present the researches results about this subject, aiming to help the technicians and farmers in the process of decision about the adoption, or not, of the technology. It was concluded that automatic feeders have many advantages like: economy with labor, reduction of feed costs and reduction of weaning age with better body weight manutention, but it has some limitations that need to be observed like: ease of diseases transmission and the need of a building for calves stay in the five first days of their lives. It is also important to point out, that for the success of this implementation, is fundamental the analysis of collected system data, a careful cleaning of the buildings and a good observation of the calves.

Por lo general, se presenta desde el nacimiento, o en la primera infancia como una lesión aislada, frecuentemente asociada a un nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn. Se presenta una serie de 11 casos con diagnóstico histológico de siringocistoadenoma papilífero provenientes del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile, con el objetivo de describir y analizar sus características demográficas, clínicas e histopatológicas. Se revisó de forma retrospectiva los informes histopatológicos del Departamento de Anatomía Patológica entre los años 2005 y 2016. La muestra está compuesta por 9 mujeres y 2 hombres. En 5 pacientes, se desarrolló un SP a partir de un nevo sebáceo y en 6 surgió de novo. El total de la muestra desarrolló el SP durante, o posterior a la pubertad. Tanto los pacientes con SP solitario, como aquellos asociados a un nevo sebáceo, presentaron clínica similar con una placa o pápula verrucosa aislada. Los principales diagnósticos diferenciales fueron el nevo sebáceo, nevo verrucoso y verruga.Este estudio constituye la primera serie de casos de SP en un hospital en Santiago de Chile. La forma clínica más frecuente fue como placa verrucosa solitaria asintomática, con casos aislados como pápula verrucosa y sólo un caso con aspecto de cuerno cutáneo. Se destaca el rol de la extirpación quirúrgica completa, tanto para establecer el diagnóstico, como para ofrecer un tratamiento definitivo, disminuyendo el riesgo de degeneración maligna a siringocistoadenocarcinoma papilífero.

La papulosis fibrosa blanca del cuello es una patología benigna, que se presenta habitualmente en persona mayores y que se caracteriza por presentar pápulas blanquecinas que se ubican frecuentemente en las regiones laterales del cuello. El hallazgo histopatológico distintivo es el incremento de las fibras de colágeno en la dermis papilar. Su fisiopatología es hasta ahora desconocida y su tratamiento es difícil. Dado que corresponde a una patología infrecuente, probablemente subdiagnosticada, es que se decide reportar el caso de una mujer chilena de 77 años.
KANUN NAMINA: YÖNETEN KİM?

Published: March 2019

Klasik Türk sineması “Yeşilçam”ın kurucu bir örneği olan Lütfi Akad’ın Ka- nun Namına filmi, modern kent yaşamının riskleri ve tehlikeleri üzerine ahlaksal bir alegori ve yitirilen geleneksel aile yaşamına özlem olarak okunagelmiştir. Bu makalede filmin modernlik karşısındaki pozisyonunun bu “geleneksel” okumanın verebildiğinden daha karmaşık olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Biçimsel açıdan, Kanun Namına alenen ve iftiharla modern bir filmdir. Üstelik, ahlaksal alegori denilen şey gelenek ve modernlik üzerine basit bir karşıtlığın çok ötesine geçer ve özellikle sınıfsal ve cinsel farklara ilişkin karmaşık bir güç ilişkileri yumağı sunar. Kanun Namına’nın stan-dart popülizmi sınıfsal farkı kültürel ve cinsel fark içine kodlarken, gerek makinelerle ve modern kent yaşamının makinesel boyutuyla büyülenmiş anlatımı, gerekse simgesel boyuttaki edebi maceracılığı görünüşte ken-dine güvenli ahlaki mesajını alttan alta oyar. Sonuçta, Kanun Namına yasa adına konuşuyor gibi gözükse bile, bedensel ve öznel süreçler düzeyinde kimin yönettiğinden hiç emin olmadığını ortaya koymuş olur.
A Distributed Plasticity Approach for Steel Frames Analysis Including Strain Hardening Effects
Authors: Grigusevičius Andrius , Blaževičius Gediminas
Published: March 2019

This paper focuses on the creation and numerical application of physically nonlinear plane steel frames analysis problems. The frames are analysed using finite elements with axial and bending deformations taken into account. Two nonlinear physical models are used and compared – linear hardening and ideal elastic-plastic. In the first model, distributions of plastic deformations along the elements and across the sections are taken into account. The proposed method allows for an exact determination of the stress-strain state of a rectangular section subjected to an arbitrary combination of bending moment and axial force. Development of plastic deformations in time and distribution along the length of elements are determined by dividing the structure (and loading) into the parts (increments) and determining the reduced modulus of elasticity for every part. The plastic hinge concept is used for the analysis based on the ideal elastic-plastic model. The created calculation algorithms have been fully implemented in a computer program. The numerical results of the two problems are presented in detail. Besides the stress-strain analysis, the described examples demonstrate how the accuracy of the results depends on the number of finite elements, on the number of load increments and on the physical material model. COMSOL finite element analysis software was used to compare the presented 1D FEM methodology to the 3D FEM mesh model analysis.
