Meryl Streep la actriz de las mil voces (y polifonías)
Authors: Badenes Guillermo
Published: March 2019

El análisis del discurso se presenta como una disciplina de utilidad para los estudiosos de la cultura y un complemento que avanza más allá de los niveles sintácticos, semánticos, morfológicos o fonológicos, para analizar la lengua en su contexto discursivo. Un aspecto de estudio de interés es el discurso referido. Meryl Streep es una actriz reconocida por su capacidad de imitar acentos y dialectos. Cuando recibió un galardón durante la ceremonia de los Globos de Oro de 2017, la actriz construyó su alocución a partir de las palabras (y actos) de otros: el análisis de su discurso de aceptación permite observar cómo los diversos discursos referidos que utilizó consolidan el sentimiento de comunidad y denuncian las políticas del presidente Donald Trump. El presente estudio analiza el discurso de Streep en dicha ocasión al subrayar que las expresiones de un sujeto muchas veces contienen capas de sentido provenientes de otros discursos.
Comparando dos formas de hacer comunicación: comunicación institucional frente a comunicación comunitaria, a través del diseño en la subcuenca del Río Pance en Cali, Colombia
Authors: Henao Bermúdez Juan Manuel , Aguirre Ramos Javier Adolfo
Published: March 2019

La subcuenca del río Pance es un ecosistema estratégico de Cali (Colombia) por sus buenas condiciones ambientales; además se proyecta como el mayor centro de recreación popular de la ciudad. Sin embargo, estos mismos factores hacen que experimente un conflicto socioambiental, pues sus 2600 habitantes se dedican principalmente al turismo y, cada fin de semana, a la zona llegan hasta 70.000 personas que impactan negativamente la subcuenca. Ante esta situación, la academia, la comunidad de Pance y algunas instituciones, trabajaron en el “Proyecto Pance” en tres componentes: ambiental, social y comunicacional. La comunicación se realizó de manera alternativa a través de la práctica social del diseño, para permitir a los actores de Pance ser parte activa de la comunicación del proyecto. El presente texto analiza la práctica de comunicación generada, en perspectiva con el ejercicio de comunicación institucional que tradicionalmente se realiza en Pance.

PULMONARY TALCOSIS: A Foreign body granulomatous lung disease
Authors: Otusanya Olufisayo
Published: March 2019

Pulmonary Talcosis is a rare foreign body granulomatous disease that occurs as a result of exposure to talc either by inhalation of talc particles or via intravascular injection of talc containing medications. Pulmonary Talcosis is often misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterium infection or sarcoidosis as many of their clinical and radiological findings overlap. We report a case of talcosis mimicking mycobacterial disease which was eventually diagnosed via lung biopsy. A detailed history and high index of suspicion is required for timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
Advances in the corporate governance practices of Johannesburg Stock Exchange companies
Authors: Mans-Kemp N , Viviers S , Erusmas P
Published: March 2019

Since the 20th century, corporate governance mechanisms have been developed globally to curb the negative effects of the agency problem. South Africa was a pioneer with the publication of the first King Report on corporate governance in 1994. Given the paucity of research on corporate governance in the country, the researchers set out to investigate the corporate governance practices of 230 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange over the period 2002 to 2010. Annual corporate governance scores were compiled by means of content analysis of the sample companiesâ€™ annual reports. The empirical findings revealed an increasing compliance trend towards 2010. Although the sample companies tended to improve the disclosure of their corporate governance practices over time, their practices were not per se acceptable (where acceptability implies meeting the King II recommendations). Inexperienced directors and managers might benefit from more training to enhance their understanding of the application of corporate governance principles.
Supply chain risks and smallholder fresh produce farmers in the Gauteng province of South Africa
Authors: Louw A , Jordaan D
Published: March 2019

A survey of 52 smallholder fresh produce farmers was conducted in the Gauteng province of South Africa to grasp how risk and its management affect the mainstreaming of smallholder farmers into formal, high-value markets. The study employed a supply chain analysis approach, which focused on the functions and risks that occur along the fresh produce chain. The results highlight the risks that impede the participation of smallholder farmers in formal, high-value chains. At the production level, risk is prominent from input procurement through to the post-harvest stage of the chains. At the retail and consumption level, risks are linked to the adherence to quality and quantity standards, including prescribed packaging, grading, labelling and traceability and transport requirements. As a result of these risks across the formal chain, smallholder farmers often resort to distributing their products in low-value informal markets. The consequence is that smallholder farmers tend to remain trapped in poverty, in part, because of their risk appetites and their ability to bear risk. 8Further research is required in the areas pertaining to smallholder farmersâ€™ risk appetite and risk-bearing ability and mechanisms to deal with the particular risks in the value chain that impede their all-round ability to escape the â€œsmallholder dilemmaâ€.
Interrogating antecedents to SME supplier performance in a developing country
Authors: Mafini C , Pooe D R I , Loury-Okoumba V W
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this study was to analyse the antecedents to supplier performance by examining the relationship between information sharing, information quality, institutional trust, supply chain collaboration and supplier performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative design was adopted in which a survey questionnaire was administered to 400 owners and managers of SMEs based in the southern part of Gauteng, South Africa. Respondents were selected using a nonprobability convenience sampling technique. Data was analysed using a combination of the Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 22.0) and Analysis of Moment Structures (Amos version 22) software. The psychometric properties of the measurement scales were ascertained using confi rmatory factor analysis (CFA). Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Information sharing exerted a positive influence on both institutional trust and supply chain collaboration. Information quality exerted a strong positive influence on institutional trust but had an insignificant influence on supply chain collaboration. Institutional trust was statistically insignificant, whereas supply chain collaboration was statistically significant in influencing supplier performance. The results of this study validate the roles performed by the constructs examined in facilitating the improvement of supply chain activities among SMEs and their suppliers.
The effect of integrated reporting on integrated thinking between risk, opportunity and strategy and the disclosure of risks and opportunities
Authors: Moolman J , Oberholzer M , Steyn M
Published: March 2019

Integrated reporting requires a new form of disclosure to provide a holistic view of the organisation and aims to support integrated thinking, decision-making and actions that focus on the creation of value. The International Integrated Reporting  Framework (IIRC 2013b) provides guidelines for the content elements required in an integrated report. One of the content elements is â€˜risks and opportunitiesâ€™. This study firstly assessed whether integrated reporting has enhanced integrated thinking between strategy and the risks and opportunities faced by the organisation. For this purpose, a web-based research questionnaire was sent to high-level implementers of integrated reporting at companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in South Africa, where integrated reporting is a listing requirement. The results of the study provide new insights for companies preparing integrated reports, as well as other stakeholders, which show that integrated reporting has driven change towards integrated thinking between strategy, risks and opportunities. Secondly, a content analysis was done on a sample derived from the top 100 companies listed on the JSE to determine whether integrated reporting has brought about a change in the disclosure of risks and opportunities. The results provide new research findings and indicate that most companies conform to the disclosure requirements noted in the International  Framework (IIRC 2013b) regarding risks and opportunities except for disclosures relating to the assessment of specific risks. The content analysis further found that integrated reporting has driven limited change in the disclosure of risks and opportunities.
Are Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologies Crucial to Our Understanding of Spinal Conditions?
Authors: Crawford Rebecca J. , Fortin Maryse , Weber Kenneth A. , Smith Andrew , Elliott James M.
Published: March 2019

Synopsis

Persistent spinal (traumatic and nontraumatic) pain is common and contributes to high societal and personal costs globally. There is an acknowledged urgency for new and interdisciplinary approaches to the condition, and soft tissues, including skeletal muscles, the spinal cord, and the brain, are rightly receiving increased attention as important biological contributors. In reaction to the recent suspicion and questioned value of imaging-based findings, this paper serves to recognize the promise that the technological evolution of imaging techniques, and particularly magnetic resonance imaging, is allowing in characterizing previously less visible morphology. We emphasize the value of quantification and data analysis of several contributors in the biopsychosocial model for understanding spinal pain. Further, we highlight emerging evidence regarding the pathobiology of changes to muscle composition (eg, atrophy, fatty infiltration), as well as advancements in neuroimaging and musculoskeletal imaging techniques (eg, fat-water imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion imaging, magnetization transfer imaging) for these important soft tissues. These noninvasive and objective data sources may complement known prognostic factors of poor recovery, patient self-report, diagnostic tests, and the “-omics” fields. When combined, advanced “big-data” analyses may assist in identifying associations previously not considered. Our clinical commentary is supported by empirical findings that may orient future efforts toward collaborative conversation, hypothesis generation, interdisciplinary research, and translation across a number of health fields. Our emphasis is that magnetic resonance imaging technologies and research are crucial to the advancement of our understanding of the complexities of spinal conditions.

Electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction to Ammonia by Mo2N: Catalysis or Decomposition?
Authors: Hu Bo , hu maowei , Seefeldt Lance , Liu Tianbiao
Published: March 2019

Electrocatalytic synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen (N2) representsa highly attractive approach to produce ammonia under more energy efficient and CO2-free conditions in comparison the well-known Haber-Bosch process. electrocatalytic N2 fixation has been under intensive exploration over last few years and has become a hot topic in catalysis. A number of heterogeneous electrocatalysts have been reported with various claimed performance for NRR recently. However, the research practice in this emerging field has been problematic as demonstrated in the submitted work.Metal nitrides have been studied both theoretically and experimentally indicating their potential capability of electrocatalytic N2reduction. However, the nitrogen contained nature and chemical stability problem of the nitride materials could bring in ambiguous results. In the submitted manuscript, it is revealed that Mo2N could undergo fast chemical decomposition in aqueous electrolytes to generate ammonium (NH4+) and showed no catalytic activity for NRR. The present results call urgent attention to carefully evaluate the catalytic nature of nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) by nitrogen containing materials.In addition, we also highlight apparent pitfalls to avoid in determining catalytic NNR.

Ecolinguística
Authors: Couto Hildo Honório do
Published: March 2019

O objetivo deste ensaio é mostrar que a Ecolinguística e a Análise do Discurso deveriam colaborar uma com a outra. Uma vez que a segunda é largamente conhecida, eu apresento só a primeira, que é definida como sendo o estudo das relações entre língua e meio ambiente. Entre os tópicos ecolinguísticos que têm afinidades com a AD, eu discuto a linguagem preconceituosa, o discurso dos poluidores que pretendem passar-se por amigos do meio ambiente, bem como a questão do desenvolvimento. Além do impacto que ele tem na natureza, eu tento mostrar que a própria palavra ‘desenvolvimento’ já contém em si a ideia de algo que não é bom a longo prazo. O prefixo “des-“, bem como seus equivalentes nas línguas da Europa, tem a ver com “destruir”. Minha conclusão é a de que a colaboração entre as duas disciplinas pode se bastante produtiva.

Informal orthographies, informal ideologies spelling and code switching in British Creole
Authors: Sebba Mark
Published: March 2019

This paper is concemed with the written representation of British Creole (a local British variety of Jamaican Creole) which has no standard orthography. Original writing is published from time to time (and we can assume that much unpublished writing goes on as well) using modified Standard English orthographies made up by the original writers. The paper examines what writers actually do when they write Creole and links this to an implicit ideology of "subversion" of the Standard Orthography rather than subservience to it. Some proposals are made up for moving toward a norm for spelling British Creole.

Governance in Hungarian family businesses
Authors: Wieszt Attila
Published: March 2019

Aim: A large-scale, exploratory survey had been conducted on the whole population of family businesses in Hungary in 2017/18 concentrating on the heterogeneity of the family business population. This paper presents the findings of this survey focusing only on the governance practices of the Hungarian family businesses.Design / Research methods: Two questionnaires were asked from a sample of Hungarian family businesses in the form of a computer-assisted phone interview. This sample is based on probability sampling of a larger database representative to the Hungarian population of business organization in terms of annual revenue, geographical location and industry. Questions were formulated considering models of family involvement, socio-emotional wealth, succession, governance, and professionalization.Conclusions/findings: Hungarian family businesses succeed in involving a growing number of family members into the company which also positively relates to the business performance of the firms. The developmental patterns of their governance practices reflect their increasing level of professionalization.However, they can hardly involve external, non-family professionals into the Top Management Team, which may be crucial especially for the further growth of medium-sized firms. Their family governance concentrates rather on operatively bridging family and company, and not on planning the maintenance of long-term family control.Originality/value of the article: The paper delivers both informations on the heterogeneity of the Hungarian family businesses from a governance-related point of view, and show direct, practical implications regarding the family business governance system. Its results can be of interest both for family business owners, researchers, and consultants.

Can municipalities infringe Aboriginal or treaty rights without consulting the affected Indigenous group? In Neskonlith Indian Band v. Salmon Arm (City), the British Columbia Court of Appeal answered this question in the affirmative, finding that the city of Salmon Arm did not need to consult the Neskonlith First Nation about impacts from the construction of a shopping mall. In what was technically obiter dicta, the Court permitted the municipal project to proceed, and told the First Nation that its only recourse was to complain to the provincial government in a separate proceeding.

Authors: Sharouf Hoda Mohammad , Tuhmaz Ghazal , Saffour Ziad
Published: March 2019

Zinc oxide nano particles is one of the best choices for ultraviolet protection due to its special properties. In this research, the UV-protection ability of sol gel-derived thin ZnO films on cotton fabrics was investigated. Various polymers have been used as adhesives to bind the nano-oxide with the surface of the treated fabric. Scanning electron microscopy and UV spectroscopy were carried out to study the properties of the treated fabrics. The results showed that the diameters of the synthesis zinc oxide particles - (68.81, 41.76 and 44.6 nm) with (PVA, PVP and CMC) respectively- were of the nanostructure, and the smallest diameter of the particles was produced with polyvinylpyrrolidone as adhesive. Using a spectrophotometer showed a decrease in the transmittance of the studied samples compared with the raw untreated sample of about 23%.

This research deals with the subject of Built heritage attractions in Muslim historical building, for what it represents, as an element dealing with Cultural tourism, in the process of developing tourism industry of the city.

The location of Mustansiriya Madrassa in Baghdad’s commercial district could make it a profitable investment project to revive a cultural, artistic and tourist centre that could make it a cultural Tourism haven.

The problem emerges through, how the role of built heritage to attract tourists in order to give vitality and liveability to the cultural tourism destination such as Al - Mustansiriya Madrassa which is one of the most popular heritage destinations, a historic school building situated in the ancient Abbasid district of Rusafa in the very heart of Baghdad.

Therefore, the research's aim is to shed light on the heritage attraction as a mean to clarify the meaning of Cultural Tourism and specifying its definition.

This research explains how the built heritage plays an important role in tourism in general and in the cultural tourism in particular because they attract tourists and provides a sustainable economic resource through its inclusion of values that make it distinct from other sources of attraction.

Authors: Peng Xi
Published: March 2019

In the past 30 years, China has experienced development at full speed, andthe cities have expanded rapidly. There have been dozens of megacitieswith millions of people. Due to the lack of preparation of various factors,these cities will inevitably also have some urban diseases similar to thosein the mega-cities of the world. How to develop mega-cities, especiallyhow to ensure the sustainable development of mega-cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., is a question that must be answered. Thispaper mainly discusses the challenges faced with city planning, especiallyfor mega-cities, taking Beijing as an example and analyzes from following aspects: institutional challenges, demographic challenges, and environmental challenges, and hopes to provide references for city planners
Paleo heat flow in areas of Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX) deposits of Eastern Brazil
Authors: Iyer Sundaram , Hamza Valiya
Published: March 2019

Representative values of fluid inclusion temperatures and radiogenic heat production values have been compiled as part of an attempt to determine paleo heat flow in areas sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits in thirteen localities of eastern Brazil. The results obtained indicate heat flow in excess of 80 mW/m2in areas of mineral bearing sulphide ore deposits, during periods of ore forming processes. Such anomalously high heat flow are more than twice the present-day values for stable tectonic units of Precambrian age. There are indications that high heat flow values were sustained by circulation of hydrothermal fluids in the upper crust, during periods not exceeding a few hundred million years. The resulting geothermal episodes may be considered as constituting short-period “heat pulses” occurring in stable tectonic environments, generated by magma emplacements in the upper crust, leading to formation of areas of sulfide ore deposits. Model simulations indicate that subsidence episodes induced by stretching and magma under-plating constitute the mechanisms for high heat flow during the ore-forming processes.
Conductive heat flow pattern of the central-northern Apennines, Italy

Published: March 2019

We analyzed thermal data from deep oil exploration and geothermal boreholes in the 1000-7000 m depth range to unravel thermal regime beneath the central-northern Apennines chain and the surrounding sedimentary basins. We particularly selected deepest bottom hole temperatures, all recorded within the permeable carbonate Paleogene-Mesozoic formations, which represent the most widespread tectono-stratigraphic unit of the study area. The available temperatures were corrected for the drilling disturbanceand the thermal conductivity was estimated from detailed litho-stratigraphic information and by taking into account the pressure and temperature effect. The thermal resistance approach, including also the radiogenic heat production, was used to infer the terrestrial heat flow and to highlight possible advective perturbation due to groundwater circulation. Only two boreholes close to recharge areas argue for deep groundwater flow in the permeable carbonate unit, whereas most of the obtained heat-flow data may reflect the deep, undisturbed, conductive thermal regime.
Beyond Preferences: Self-Concept Clarity and Social Decision Making
Authors: Ugurlar Pinar , Wulff Dirk U.
Published: March 2019

We investigate a novel link between self-concept and social decision making. Motivated by theories of evolutionary psychology and memory representation, we posit that self-concept clarity, a concept combining the organization and accessibility of self-related memory representations, can promote better decision making in situations involving other persons. In two pre-registered, correlational studies (total N = 702), we assessed the relationship between self-concept clarity and decision performance and observed substantial, positive relationships. Crucially, these relationships could not be accounted for by measures of processing speed or social preferences suggesting a direct link between self-concept clarity and decision performance in a social context. We conclude by discussing how this novel finding may share a common pathway with other, established links between the organization of mental representations and cognitive performance.

Published: March 2019

Risk is an integral part of many economic decisions, and is vitally important in finance. Despite extensiveresearch on decision-making under risk, little is known about how risks are actually perceived by financialprofessionals, the key players in global financial markets. In a large-scale survey experiment with 2,213 financeprofessionals and 4,559 lay people in nine countries representing approx. 50% of the world’s population and morethan 60% of the world’s gross domestic product, we expose participants to return distributions with equalexpected return and we systematically vary the distributions’ next three higher moments. Of these, skewnessis the only moment that systematically affects financial professionals’ perception of financial risk. Strikingly,variance does not influence risk perception, even though return volatility is the most common risk measurein finance in both academia and the industry. When testing other, compound risk measures, the probabilityto experience losses is the strongest predictor of what is perceived as being risky. Analyzing professionals’propensity to invest, skewness and loss probability have strong predictive power too. However, volatility andkurtosis also have some additional effect on participants’ willingness to invest. Our results are very similarfor lay people, and they are robust across and within countries with different cultural backgrounds as wellas for different job fields of professionals.

Relevance of the No-self Theory in Contemporary Mindfulness
Authors: Giles James
Published: March 2019

The ideas of mindfulness and no-self are intimately connected in Buddhist philosophy. Yet in contemporary mindfulness research and practice in psychology the no-self theory is frequently ignored. The results of this neglect are that an incomplete picture of the concept of mindfulness is presented in much of the contemporary psychological research and practice. It also means that the benefits of mindfulness are probably not fully achieved. One of the problems here is that Western mindfulness researchers often do not have a clear picture of the Buddhist background from which the concept of mindfulness originates. This in turn means that distinctions between Buddhist and contemporary versions of mindfulness are not fully understood.
Mindfulness Training in the Treatment of Persistent Depression: Can It Help to Reverse Maladaptive Plasticity?
Authors: Barnhofer Thorsten
Published: March 2019

In many patients, depression takes a recurrent or chronic course in which maintaining mechanisms become increasingly engrained, and repeated stress translates into significant changes in biological functioning. The introduction of mindfulness training has brought a paradigmatically new approach to the treatment of persistent courses of depression that promises to counter such mechanisms and thus offers potential to eventually reverse maladaptive plasticity. However, research on biological mechanisms of mindfulness training in this domain is still widely lacking. In order to encourage such research, we outline psychobiological mechanisms underlying persistent depression, discuss why mindfulness training may be particularly suited to address these mechanisms, and review current evidence supporting the potential for reversibility. We conclude by emphasising the need for studies investigating sustained training in mindfulness in order to elucidate the timescales of cascading effects and in how far these effects translate into changes in otherwise persistent trajectories.
