Published: October 2020

Este trabalho aborda a criação do espetáculo “Leonídia: ela é doida?”, pela “Trupe DiVersos”, do Projeto Paratodos/UFRJ, apresentado por skype no “Seminário Internacional Corpos Diferenciados na Arte Contemporânea” (UFRN, Natal, dezembro/2014), acrescido dos principais desdobramentos dessa criação desde então. Leonídia é fruto do curso de extensão “Criação Cênica Polifônica” (CCP), cuja ideia central consistiu em aplicar as noções de Produção Partilhada do Conhecimento (PPC) (Bairon e Lazaneo, 2012) e de polifonia (Bakhtin, 2010) na cena. Somados ao contato com manifestações de culturas tradicionais do Brasil, os conceitos materializam-se em realização artística e demais produções: eventos acadêmicos, material audiovisual e este artigo. A criação, roteirização e montagem de um espetáculo por um grupo que tem como característica a diversidade aposta no aumento da permeabilidade entre universidade
Old structures for contemporary theatrical productions: a warehouse, an arena and a thrust stage
Authors: Furquim Werneck Lima Evelyn
Published: October 2020

In this article we seek to understand the role of architecture in the theatrical process and the uses of old structures to house three contemporary productions: Zé Celso staged Os Sertões (The Hinterlands) in 2007 in a huge warehouse near the wharfs of Rio de Janeiro’s Docklands where he arranged the building as if it was his own Oficina Theatre in São Paulo; Miguel Vellinho staged Peer Gynt (2006) at the readapted SESC Copacabana Arena, and the Brazilian performance of Romeo and Juliet directed by Gabriel Villela was staged in 2000 at the reconstructed Globe Theatre not far from the real spot of the Shakespeare’s Globe. This version of the play combines circus acts, music, dance and Brazilian folk culture with the traditional story of the unlucky lovers. The perfect inner space of the playhouse and its architecture are discussed through the analysis of the many possibilities explored by Villela, who reinterpreted the spaces surprising the audience with a car on the stage.

Authors: Andrade Carolina Romano de , Godoy Kathya Maria Ayres de
Published: October 2020

O objetivo desse artigo é refletir sobre a formação continuada de professores para a dança. Nessa perspectiva, desenvolvemos o projeto Poéticas da Dança na Educação Básica, no qual oferecemos um curso de formação continuada para professores das áreas de Educação Física, Pedagogia e Dança, em que além dos conhecimentos em arte e dança, propusemos a elaboração de projetos que foram aplicados no contexto escolar. Aqui lançamos um olhar específico para o subprojeto que se voltou para o trabalho de dança com crianças pequenas, denominado O Corpo Inventa História. Discutimos as premissas teórico-práticas que envolvem a concepção e execução do subprojeto, entre os quais, o professor reflexivo que constrói seu saber na relação com a ação, reflexão e volta à ação (Schön, 1992) os saberes da experiência (Larrosa, 2002), atualizados para saberes em dança por Godoy (2013). Para então tecer considerações sobre práticas realizadas.
O gesto do olhar do espectador contemporâneo: nem santo nem bode, emancipado
Authors: Ribeiro Martha de Mello
Published: October 2020

O artigo problematiza o gesto do olhar do espectador contemporâneo à luz das discussões sobre o real em sua relação instável com o artifício. Observa-se uma critica ao olhar que atravessa a história do teatro ocidental até os dias de hoje, propondo saídas ou soluções estéticas para uma crise que se adensa na atualidade, especialmente a partir dos estudos dos filósofos J. Baudrillard e A. Badiou. Na medida em que a própria distinção entre realidade e representação se perde, o espectador inserido no núcleo do problema se torna alvo de pressões, sendo questionado em sua posição, polarizado entre “santo” ou “bode”. Junto a Rancière buscamos desmitificar a crença do espectador passivo para encontrar o espectador emancipado.

Escutar caminhos
Authors: Lambert Leandra
Published: October 2020

A partir de minhas práticas artísticas que envolvem caminhadas à deriva, o exercício de uma escuta profunda em múltiplos sentidos e o desenvolvimento de uma "met-hodologia sônica", traço algumas reflexões sobre aspectos do nomadismo contemporâneo, trânsitos, impedimentos, confinamentos e resistências. Nesse caminho, traço relações também entre estas questões e determinados trabalhos de alguns artistas contemporâneos. Sob estas perspectivas, abordo ainda o problema das restrições espaciais socialmente impostas às mulheres.

O teatro carioca no contexto do contemporâneo: hibridismos e procedimentos cênicos na "Trilogia do Amor", da companhia Os Dezequilibrados
Authors: Barcelos Carolina Montebelo
Published: October 2020

Por meio do estudo crítico de Amores, Fala como a chuva e me deixa ouvir e Beija-me como nos livros, peças que compunham a Trilogia do amor, projeto recente da companhia teatral Os dezequilibrados, procurou-se discutir como o trabalho desses artistas dialoga com uma variedade de referências artísticas e literárias, além dos seus próprios trabalhos anteriores. A partir de um exame do conceito de contemporâneo – como um intertexto ou um passado revisitado – e de um breve histórico da companhia, propôs-se o entendimento do trabalho criativo de Os dezequilibrados como um processo de hibridização das artes plásticas e do cinema. Para esse fim, a análise das peças e do processo criativo da companhia foi fundamentado com estudos teóricos levados a cabo por pensadores da arte e da cena contemporânea, assim como entrevistas realizadas com Ivan Sugahara, diretor de Os dezequilibrados.

Authors: Correa Marcio Guedes
Published: October 2020

O objetivo desse artigo é trazer à baila algumas considerações a respeito das funções e utilizações dos gêneros musicais articuladas por diferentes autores das áreas de antropologia, comunicação, etnomusicologia e musicologia para, a partir delas, formular um possível conceito de gênero em música. As reflexões expostas e avaliadas nesse trabalho foram selecionadas por meio de uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico. Como resultado dessa análise, foi possível perceber que não há consenso a respeito do que é gênero musical. Dessa maneira, pode-se concluir que esse conceito se configura como um conjunto de funções e significados decorrentes de interesses diversos, atribuído às manifestações musicais.

In this paper, we study some geometric properties of statistical manifold equipped with the Riemannian Otto metric which is related to the L 2 -Wasserstein distance of optimal mass transport. We construct some α -connections on such manifold and we prove that the proposed connections are torsion-free and coincide with the Levi-Civita connection when α = 0 . In addition, the exponentialy families and the mixture families are shown to be respectively (1) -flat and (−1) -flat.                                                                                                                                             ..............................................
Socio-Medical Viewpoints of Female Korean Students during the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020
Authors: Prof. Alaric Naudé
Published: October 2020

Korea was one of the first countries to be directly impacted by the Covid19 (SARS Type II) virus. The swift response by the medical community was highly effective in reducing the spread of the virus: however, the education system was slower to follow suit and implement changes. This study focuses on the motivational factors of first-year (female) nursing students and analyses their opinions and thoughts on three factors: their satisfaction with the national medical response: their satisfaction with the educational system’s response, and, lastly, their scientific/nursing view on gender-based and feminist responses to the global pandemic. Overall, nursing students reported satisfaction with the medical response. They were, somewhat divided on the education sector response, though satisfied with the online platform of university lectures. Female nursing students rejected gendered/feminist views on quarantine and expressed such views to be both antiscientific as well as impractical in the control of the infectious disease.
Impact of Crime Shows on Behavior of Television Viewers in Pakistan: A Survey Study of Lahore City
Authors: Nasir Khan  , Prof. Ghulam Shabir
Published: October 2020

The current study investigates the impacts of television crime shows on the attitude of viewers. The researcher employed a quantitative approach and the survey method is used to collect the data. A structured questionnaire with close-ended research items was circulated among 100 respondents chosen through stratified sampling in Lahore because Lahore is the capital city with a heterogamous population. The respondents were university students below the age of 25 years. The findings of the study revealed that people feel fearful, vulnerable, and insecure after watching crime shows. These shows increase overthinking and aggression among the viewers. This study depicts that crime shows play a pivotal role to develop criminality in society. These crime shows tend to develop criminal minds to fulfil their needs through illegitimate means. The social construction of criminality is more prevalent than the representation of safety and security in these crime shows. The Cultivation Theory is applied to investigate the influence of television crime shows on heavy viewers as well as light viewers.

Authors: Dr. Hina Ayaz Habib  , Shahdaz Hussain  , Dr. Nina Ayaz Habib
Published: October 2020

The present study is conducted to investigate the impact of positive and negative religious coping on life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect during the times of COVID-19 pandemic in Punjab, Pakistan. The hypotheses formulated are 1) Positive religious coping predicts positive effect during epidemic conditions of COVID-19 in residents of Punjab. 2) Positive religious coping has a significant impact on life satisfaction during epidemic conditions of COVID-19 in citizens of Punjab. 3) Negative religious coping predicts negative effects during COVID-19 conditions in citizens of Punjab, Pakistan. The study adopts the observational design and gathers data through demographic sheets, Subjective Well-Being Scale and Brief Religious Coping Scale (RCOPE). The population for the study is the residents of Punjab, Pakistan with data being gathered online. 200 participants were recruited online through convenience sampling. Data was statistically analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Science version 22, and to test the research hypotheses descriptive statistics and Linear Regression Analysis were used. The Linear Regression results indicate that Positive Religious Coping significantly predicts Positive Affect (R2= .239, F = 61.093, p<.00) and life satisfaction (R2= .239, F = 61.093, p<.00) while Negative Religious Coping is significantly correlated with negative affect (R2= .310, F = 87.568, p<.00).  Positive religious coping is positively correlated with life satisfaction and positive affect while negative religious coping is positively correlated with negative affect. These findings can be used to educate people about RC in Pakistan as it is a Muslim country and there is a culture of seeking help through religion in various stressful situations.

Synthesis of Poly (Styrene Sulfonate) Coated Gd3+ Poly (Lactide-Co-Glycolic Acid) Perfluoro Bromide Nanoparticles for Stem Cell Monitoring Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Vu-Quang Hieu , Nguyen Thanh-Quang , Vinding Mads Sloth
Published: October 2020

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of best imaging technologies to monitor transplanted stem cells, because of its high anatomical resolution and safety. In this study, we aim to synthesize Poly (styrene sulphonate) coated Gd3+ - Poly (lactide co glycolic acid) Perfluorooctyl Bromide nanoparticles (PSS-coated Gd3+@NPs) for stem cell labeling using both 1H and 19F MRI. At a weight ratio 20 of PLGA/ Gd3+, NPs have a spherical shape with the hydrodynamic size at 180 nm with zeta potential at -53 mV. In vitro, we obtain the intended T1 relaxation acceleration of water on 1H MRI. The NPs have low toxicity to the human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) up to 1 mg/ml. They could internalize into the stem cells via caveolae-mediated endocytosis efficiently, confirmed by flow cytometry analysis, and gives a good contrast in both channels 1H and 18F MRI scans. In conclusion, our NPs have shown a great potential as a dual-contrast agent in MRI for stem cell monitoring.
Evaluation of Zeolitic Materials Synthetized from Coal Fly Ash as Potential Cd(II) Adsorbents from Aqueous Solutions

Published: October 2020

The aim of this research paper is to present a simple and efficient method to prepare zeolite materials from thermal power plant fly ash which is one of the most important waste resulted from power plants. The method of preparation of zeolite materials consists of alkaline activation followed by calcination at different temperatures. The zeolite materials prepared were studied by FT-IR spectroscopy, specific surface determination, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size composition. XRF data indicated that the zeolites synthesized are characterized by Si/Al ratio between 1.21 and 1.26, being mainly composed of Na-P1 zeolite. The optimum conditions of cadmium ions removal process by adsorption onto zeolite materials have been determined. It was concluded that increase of calcination temperature has as result increase of specific surface area and cosequently the increase of sorption capacity. An equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic study has been performed. The high value of correlation coefficient for the Langmuir isotherm reveals that the Cd(II) sorption onto zeolite materials occurs as a monolayer coverage of Cd(II) ions on homogenous zeolite surface. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model fits the experimental results of the Cd(II) sorption onto zeolite materials processes. As a results, the mechanism involved in Cd(II) sorption onto zeolite materials is based on chemical reactions. The thermodynamic results indicate that the Cd(II) adsorption process is more encouraging at higher temperatures.The results established that valuable NaP1 zeolite materials with high adsorption capacity can be prepared from thermal power plant fly ash through a simple method. The materials prepared can be utilized to remediate cadmium ions-bearing wastewater.
Innovative Method of Treating Sintered Metal Powders Surfaces with Optical Radiation Pulses, Using Gas-Discharge Lamp
Authors: Virca Ioan , Barsan Ghita , Bungau Constantin , Mosteanu Danut , Bungau Simona , Otrisal Pavel , Banica Florin , Hatiegan Cornel
Published: October 2020

The research conducted in the present paper is part of a comprehensive study to innovate a method of surface treatment for some metallic powder materials with alternative energy sources to lasers and electron beams (i.e. with gas-discharge lamp (GDL)), typically used as sources of optical pumping for the lasers, having a solid active element. The radiant energy sources used for study are composed of a GDL and the high voltage power supply consists of a block of high-capacity capacitors. The materials were selected from the Fe-Cu-C grade, with a carbon content between 0.5 to 0.72%, and the measurements were made on microscopes with electron beam scanning. Configurational modifications of a surface layer of approximatively 30-35 im, characteristic for Fe-C-Cu alloys, containing nearly 0.7% C (pearlite, ferrite and cementite) are highlighted by the microscopic examinations. At the surface level, the energy flux created by the lamp in the visible spectrum, generates pressure, determining elongation of the surface layer pores, under optical action, resulting an effect comparable to plastic deformation by induration or compaction through mechanical actions. The results obtained highlight the potential of this class of materials to surface treatments and the options for the energy sources used.

This paper analyses the chemical transformations of soils from certain copper waste heaps from Moldova Noua in the context of their afforestation. The analysis is based on a comparison between chemical properties of soils from different areas of the waste heaps. such as the planted and unplanted plateaus and slopes. The soil samples were gathered from soil profiles for each variants considered. and then analysis carried out in the �Marin Dracea� National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry laboratories. The results were compared and discussed in the context of the waste heaps� morphologic differences. such as land slope. aspect and the presence or absence of forest plantations. As such. the following elements were analyzed and compared: granulometric composition. soil chemical properties. soil reaction. humus content. total nitrogen. potassium content and heavy metals content. Forest vegetation had an important influence on the soil�s granulometric composition. on the humus and total nitrogen content. as well as on the soil�s reaction. In addition. granulometric composition differences between slopes that are exposed to the main wind and those that are not. suggest the importance of afforestation works for the former.
Analysis of Soils Parameters in Correlation with Vegetation Period
Authors: Neagu Anisoara-Arleziana , Soceanu Alina , Birghila Semaghiul
Published: October 2020

Soil is a complex ecosystem whose functionality is related to the links that exist between chemical, physical, biological parameters and microbial communities. Our purpose was to carry out an analysis of variance of chemical properties of the soil in relation to the vegetation period. The analysis of the soil gives us knowledge about the fertility status of the soil, which is closely related to the nutritional status of plants. The analysis involved urban soil, agricultural soil and greenhouse soil from Dobrogea area. Soil samples come from the urban area: Constanta, agricultural area: Ciocarlia de Sus and greenhouse:Cumpana. To estimate the seasonal changes in the soil, three periods were studied: before vegetation (sowing), after the vegetation period (harvesting), relative rest period (winter). The chemical parameters evaluated were: soil reaction pH (acidity degree), conductivity - as an indicator of the nutrients available in the soil (soluble salts), ion exchange capacity (cations and anions), organic matter (humus), nitrogen content (total nitrogen and nitrites), the amount of extractable iron. The pH values were in the range corresponding to the weak acid-neutral soil for all three types of sample soils, with slight variations from one period to another while the recorded conductivity values indicate that the analyzed soils belong to the category of non-saline soils. The analyzed soil samples presented low concentrations of nitrites and the assimilable iron content was in the range 48.81 - 259.12 ppm.

Air pollution is very important issue now-a-days. This has affected the components of environment to a great extent. Organisms like animals, plants and human beings are forced to live in such polluted environments. One of the pollution sources to the environment is vehicular traffic which has toxic effect on the roadside plants. In this study, roadside forages, soil and buffalo blood were studied to estimate the level of heavy metal pollution, iron in particular, in Sargodha from six chosen sites at perimeter of major roads. Collected samples were processed and digested for quantification of iron by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Soil and buffalo samples from the site V showed high concentration of iron, whereas in forage, samples collected from site IV had greatest iron concentration. The bio concentration factor found for forage-soil was highest in the samples collected from site IV. On the other hand, bio-concentration factor for blood-forage and pollution load index was found highest in the samples collected from site V. Correlation for soil-forage and blood-forage was found negatively non-significant. The daily intake of metals for iron was found highest for site IV. The Health risk index was highest for the samples collected from site VI.
On Some Applications of h-generated Fuzzy Implications
Authors: Gusic Dzenan , Alihodzic Adis , Nesimovic Sanela
Published: October 2020

In this paper we apply the h-generated fuzzy implications to prove a number of results which are of fundamental importance to the theory of fuzzy and vague functional and multivalued dependencies defined on given scheme. Our research is motivated by the fact that some analogous results already hold true for the families of f- and g-generated fuzzy implications, and the fact that these three collections of implications share many similar mutual properties. While some of the aforementioned implications are introduced in order to be applied in approximate reasoning, the results derived in this paper represent the main tool in the process of automation and are also used to complement the resolution principle. More precisely, the main result of this research states that the fact that some fuzzy (vague) relation instance r, |r| = 2, satisfies some fuzzy (vague) functional or fuzzy (vague) multivalued dependency c /∈ C (under assumption that r satisfies some set C of fuzzy (vague) functional and fuzzy (vague) multivalued dependencies), yields that the fuzzy formula attached to c is valid whenever all of the fuzzy formulas attached to the elements of C are valid. What is more important is that the opposite claim is also proven. Its importance stems from the fact that the verification by hand, which means purely theoretical verification, that C implies c is not required anymore. Now, in order to prove that some C yields some c, it is enough to make the use of the resolution principle, and automatically verify whether or not the set of the attached fuzzy formulas yields the fuzzy formula attached to c. In the case of affirmative answer, the desired dependency follows. The research conducted in this paper represent a natural generalization of our previous research since it includes and considers both, fuzzy and vague theories.

Published: October 2020

The work of François Cheng – a writer, poet, calligrapher, essayist, academician of Chinese origin and
laureate of the French Francophone Academy is undoubtedly part of the cross-cultural literature of the end of the 20th and the
beginning of the 21st century, when writers and poets from different, in this case Eastern background, like Yoko Tawada, Anna
Moi, Amy Tan, Salman Rushdie, Haruki Murakami and others, have adopted the cross-cultural perspective of the migrant, the
person who finds oneself in a context in which one begins to make sense of the living world by reading the foreign signs,
comparing cultures and traditions, and translating the foreign culture in a particular way.
The term “cross-cultural” literature will be used here in its sense that the writer and researcher G. Chkhartishvili
associates with the new cultural phenomenon he calls “androgynous”, “East-Western literature” (Chkhartishvili, 1996).
What, I would argue, is common to these artists is the rejection of the dual East - West model of culture, or, in Sánchez’
words, “the challenging of the bipolar models” (Sánchez, 2014, p. 55), the rejection of barriers and boundaries, because the
cultures placed on both sides of such barriers are perceived either in terms of their own essential characteristics, or in ways that
go beyond the proposed divisions.
THE IDEA OF THE BAD PLACE IN EDGAR ALLAN POE’S “THE FALL OF THE HOUSE
OF USHER” AND IN STEPHEN KING’S “THE SHINING”
Authors: Anastasova Maria
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the idea of the bad place as a characteristic feature of the horror genre. Its aim
is to explore the function of two buildings that epitomize this idea in two literary works from different periods of American
literature: the Usher mansion from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher (1839) and the Overlook Hotel from
Stephen King’s The Shining (1977). The two architectural structures reveal various undercurrent meanings that lead to the
conclusion that the haunted place in the gothic genre may serve purposes rather different than creating horrific atmosphere and
triggering emotions like fear and suspense. By binding their characters to a specific building the two authors not only trap
them and put them in isolation, but they also reveal certain psychological states or criticize the society. In Poe’s short story the
crumbling mansion is obviously a reflection of the unstable mind of the narrator as the author employs his usual method of
using architecture to speak about psychology. In The Shining the hotel unleashes evil powers because of its sinful history. Thus
a critical look at the society is provided. In both cases the architectural structures are destroyed in the end. However, although
the two buildings can be taken as symbols of evil, their identical fates may be interpreted differently in each context.
POETICS OF DISLOCATION: BULGARIAN LITERATURE IN SLOVAK CULTURE
AFTER YEAR 1989 (WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE NOVEL 18% OF GRAY
FROM ZACHARY KARABASHLIEV)
Authors: Taneski Zvonko
Published: October 2020

The aim of our paper is to point out the presence of such Bulgarian writers who have been translated
into Slovak after 1989 and whose life and work touch on certain aspects of the “poetics of dislocation” and the issue of
“migration” and thus open questions of existence abroad, emigration or exile. Such authors and their literary characters, for
example, are precisely aware of where they come from as well as the "otherness" of the new space. The presentation and
interpretation of these selected translated works should then be representative and unique to the scientific field in which the
research was carried out in terms of translation and original production (but in this case only with particular reference to the
novel 18% Gray by Zachary Karabashliev). The study therefore aims to become a reliable document on the character,
personality and intended forms of the presence of Bulgarian literature in the Slovak cultural environment. By means of
summarized research we bring to the expert public new detailed knowledge about the more recent literary works of Bulgarians
and their current trends and at the same time we present to the Slovak cultural public a comprehensive output about the newer
literary and cultural references of Bulgarian literary works and the importance of individual artistic book translations of
Bulgarian literature in Slovakia. Inevitably with such an initial "diagnosis", the first step is to name the problem, as "naming
the problem" is the first stage of overcoming it. Therefore, our primary task is to testify to the whole and only later to examine
the problem in detail and eventually reach the necessary and desired results.
LANGUAGE DEMOCRATIZATION AND LANGUAGE CULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE PUBLIC SPEECH
Authors: Nikolova Nadka
Published: October 2020

This article deals with the democratization of the Bulgarian literary language, interpreted in its four
aspects: social, functional, personal and interstructural. Pseudodemocratization processes and trends are discussed and a
number of examples are given. The general conclusion is that, in its overall development, the modern literary language is
undoubtedly democratized, and this is a long-standing trend whose aim was, and should continue to be, to raise the demos to
the literary language in the future. Standardology experts’ modern assessment of the normalisation and codification of modern
literary language is that they are extremely democratized in every respect: in terms of spelling, form and word usage, and
spelling. In retrospect, changes have been made progressively and without turmoil, with public debate towards the
democratization of the literary language according to the four commentary criteria although they were not consciously or
explicitly stated. A really important task for the Bulgarian codifiers today, however, is to find the mechanisms that will protect
the Bulgarian language community from pseudo-democratization from the false notion that everything is allowed, that
democratization has a utilitarian side, but is not in simplification. The task of the modern codifier, in other words, is not to
lower the codification to the demos, but rather to raise the demos to it
DYNAMICS OF TERMINOLOGY FORMATION IN THE FIELD OF LINGUISTICS (BASED
ON THE POLISH LANGUAGE)
Authors: Tozhyieva Vitaliia
Published: October 2020

In connection with the deepening globalization processes and the interaction of scientists from
different countries, the linguistic terminology systems of modern Slavic languages in the second half of the XX and at the
beginning of the XXI century have been enlarged with new special units, which causes quantitative and qualitative changes
in their composition, interest in the problems of the origin, formation and dynamics of this terminology system. The purpose
of the study is to establish the regularity of the terminological nomination of linguistic concepts in the Middle and Modern
Polish periods (XVI century – 1939). Taking into account the internal and external linguistic factors that influenced the
formation and functioning of linguistics terminology in the Polish language, the basic methods of term formation (semantic,
morphological, syntactic) are analyzed, confirming, on the one hand, the connection with the common language, and on the
other hand, the uniqueness and specificity of the subject linguistic terminology corpus. The consolidation of a special
nomination in Polish linguistic terminology at different chronological sections took place in stages. The transition of special
words from one category to another (preterms → quasi-terms → terms) displays a system of complex changes in the
branched term system of the subject area of linguistics.

Introducción: la diarrea asociada con Clostridium difficile (DACD) provoca brotes de infecciones de difícil control aumentando la morbi-mortalidad de los pacientes. En los últimos años se ha observado un aumento en la incidencia de DACD en las áreas de hospitalización, afectando la estancia hospitalaria.
Objetivo: describir los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de DACD, en adultos y niños cardiópatas, hospitalizados en una institución de alta especialidad.
Material y métodos: estudio observacional, retrospectivo y transversal. Muestra por conveniencia n=64 incluyó pacientes con DACD identificados de enero de 2012 a junio de 2016, con ≥3 evacuaciones de consistencia disminuida, sin evidencia de evacuaciones antes del internamiento y toxina para clostridium difficile positiva. Datos recolectados, con cédula ex profeso, con dos apartados: datos demográficos y factores de riesgo; escala de respuesta abierta. Análisis de datos con estadística descriptiva y prueba U de Mann-Whitnney y x2; significancia estadística p<0.05.
Resultados: prevalecieron 57.8% hombres, 50% población pediátrica, edad general promedio 30 años; media de 30 días desde su ingreso hasta la aparición de DACD, 71.8% utilizó cefalosporinas de tercera generación y tuvo cirugía cardiaca, 45.3% con alimentación enteral asistida por sonda. Las medidas de control fueron: aislamiento por contacto hasta el egreso hospitalario, reforzamiento del lavado de manos exclusivo con agua y jabón; desinfección correcta y total de material, equipo y área hospitalaria y, control de antimicrobianos.
Conclusión: la DACD se pudo controlar con el reforzamiento de medidas ya establecidas, sin necesidad de implementar nuevas tecnologías o procesos diferentes, que implícitamente hubieran generado mayor costo institucional.

WHEN GRIT LEADS TO SUCCESS: THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION
Authors: Al Issa Hussein-Elhakim
Published: October 2020

Successful enterprise has been related to numerous characteristics including entrepreneurial orientation. The current study aims to examine the influence of individual entrepreneurial orientation and grit dimensions on entrepreneurial success. The potential mediating role of consistency of interest and perseverance of effort, on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and success, was also explored. Survey data were collected in Tripoli, Libya from entrepreneurs during the current economic downturn and crisis. The data from the usable 147 responses was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The statistical results revealed a significant relationship between the individual entrepreneurial orientation, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort, with the dependent variable, entrepreneurial success. The dimensions of grit were also found to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and success. The cross-sectional nature of the study and the smaller sample size make the findings difficult to generalize. Verification of the significance of success predictors can unravel concerns about the low rate of established and nascent businesses despite the presence of opportunities and positive perception of entrepreneurship. The study of grit dimensions as a mediator between the individual entrepreneurial orientation and success is unprecedented.
Chandra Monitoring of the J1809–1917 Pulsar Wind Nebula and Its Field

PSR J1809–1917 is a young (τ = 51 kyr) and energetic (

erg s−1) radio pulsar powering an X-ray pulsar wind nebula (PWN) that exhibits morphological variability. We report on the results of a new monitoring campaign by the Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra), carried out across six epochs with a ∼7 week cadence. The compact nebula can be interpreted as a jet-dominated outflow along the pulsar’s spin axis. Its variability can be the result of Doppler boosting in the kinked jet, whose shape changes with time (akin to the Vela pulsar jet). The deep X-ray image, composed of 405 ks of new and 131 ks of archival Chandra data, reveals an arcminute-scale extended nebula (EN) whose axis of symmetry aligns with both the axis of the compact nebula and the direction toward the peak of the nearby TeV source HESS J1809–193. The EN’s morphology and extent suggest that the pulsar is likely moving through the ambient medium at a transonic velocity. We also resolved a faint 7′ long nonthermal collimated structure protruding from the PWN. It is possibly another instance of a “misaligned outflow” (also known as a “kinetic jet”) produced by high-energy particles escaping the PWN’s confinement and tracing the interstellar magnetic field lines. Finally, taking advantage of the 536 ks exposure, we analyzed the point sources in the J1809 field and classified them using multiwavelength data. None of the classified sources in the field can reasonably be expected to produce the extended TeV flux in the region, suggesting that PSR J1809–1917 is indeed the counterpart to HESS/eHWC J1809–193.

We use the spectroscopy and homogeneous photometry of 97 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project as well as a subset of 36 SNe Ia presented by Zheng et al. to examine maximum-light correlations in a four-dimensional (4D) parameter space: B-band absolute magnitude, M

, and Si ii pseudo-equivalent widths pEW(Si ii
λ6355) and pEW(Si ii
λ5972). It is shown using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) that the original four groups in the Branch diagram are well-defined and robust in this parameterization. We find three continuous groups that describe the behavior of our sample in [M

B
and pseudo-equivalent width (Si ii
λ5972) is found, which implies that Branch group membership can be well-constrained by spectroscopic quantities alone. In general, we find that higher-dimensional GMMs reduce the uncertainty of group membership for objects between the originally defined Branch groups. We also find that the broad-line Branch group becomes nearly distinct with the inclusion of

, indicating that this subclass of SNe Ia may be somehow different from the other groups.

Galactic winds are essential to the regulation of star formation in galaxies. To study the distribution and dynamics of molecular gas in wind, we imaged the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 1482 in CO (J = 1 → 0) at a resolution of 1″ (≈100 pc) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. Molecular gas is detected in a nearly edge-on disk with a radius of 3 kpc and a biconical outflow emerging from the central 1 kpc starburst and extending to at least 1.5 kpc perpendicular to the disk. In the outflow, CO gas is distributed approximately as a cylindrically symmetrical envelope surrounding the warm and hot ionized gas traced by Hα and soft X-rays. The velocity, mass outflow rate, and kinetic energy of the molecular outflow are
