DOMINASI HABITUS DALAM PRAKTIK KHITAN PEREMPUAN DI DESA KUNTU DARUSSALAM KABUPATEN KAMPAR RIAU (Aplikasi Praktik Sosial Pierre Boudieu dalam Living Hadis)
Authors: Hikmalisa Hikmalisa
Published: January 2018

Understanding common sense surrounding society where people act according to their interpretation toward hadith of the prophet as well Qur’anic verses and command is an essential meaning of living hadith. This paper begins with new alternative of perspective for living hadith, since there are obvious possible interpretations toward a hadith within a complex society that lead to various acts. In addition to that, the different act will be analyzed by Bourdieu’s theory of practice in order to see that the dynamic of practice in such society entail that complexity of interpretations. Female mutilation practice in Kuntu Darussalam village is the object of study in this paper, where majority of people has had perceived the practice asas an unquestioned Doxa for every individual, preached by Ulama repetitively. The latest agent plays assertively for his symbolic modal of the cultural village, unlike the secondary role (e.i. medical agent)who apprehensively stands for different habitus within the society.

Published: January 2018

This research aims to describe the Moslem teenagers’ self-concept so that they use Krama Javanese Language consistently. Islam has rule on Moslem personality building and its also applying in Javanese community. The using of Krama Javanese Language in teenagers can present their Moslem Javanese personality in doing religion value and respecting culture. It is also become a part of their self-concept. The self-concept is about what they think and feel about themselves. This research is descriptive analysis. The subject of this research is Moslem teenagers about 16-20 years old in Vocational School who use Krama Javanese Language. The study found out that there is consistency level in using Krama Javanese Language on Moslem teenagers. Those are “sampurno” and “gojag-gajeg” type. “Sampurno” is used to communicate Krama Javanese Language to everyone, even though “gojag-gajeg” only to older people. The consistency occurs because of their strong personality. A strong personality is formed by positive self-concept. Keywords: Moslem teenagers, Self-concept, Krama Javanese Language

Global Multi-Protagonist Trends in a Local Setting: The Case of Frozen Land and Autumn Ball
Authors: Teinemaa Teet
Published: January 2018

This article explores whether a specifically regional quality can be identified in the following Finnish and Estonian multi-protagonist/network narrative films: Aku Louhimies’ Frozen Land (Paha maa, Finland, 2005) and Veiko Õunpuu’s Autumn Ball (Sügisball, Estonia, 2007). The article begins by providing an overview of the discussion regarding multi-protagonist films - a film form in which several lead characters are commonly connected via accidental encounters. Thereafter, an examination is made of how the form’s widely recognised generic qualities are represented in the Northern and Eastern European examples. As an overview of the discourse illustrates, multi-protagonist film is mainly interested in urban spatiality, contingency and human interconnectedness. It is also shown that these examples from the cinemas of small nations follow global trends rather closely. At the same time, Frozen Land and Autumn Ball can be seen as representing a specifically regional sensibility that is not only interesting in its own right, but which can also be understood as directly influencing the character-action.
The Branding Potential for the Digital Transmission of Live-Operas to the Cinema: An International Comparison of Estonia and Germany
Authors: Roll Julia , Horst Sven-Ove
Published: January 2018

Today, opera houses are confronted by new (global) digital media offers that enable people to remain outside the opera house while attending a live-opera, e.g. via livestreamed opera performances in the cinema. This is a challenge for media managers in these fields because they need to find new ways to work with these new opportunities. Within a cultural marketing context, branding is highly relevant. Based on the brand image approach by Kevin Lane Keller (1993), we use a complex qualitative-quantitative study in order to investigate if, and how, the brand images of live-opera performances and live-streamed operas differ between countries and cultural contexts. By comparing Estonia and Germany, we found that the perception of live-opera is rather a global phenomenon with only slight differences. Furthermore, the ‘classical’ opera performance in an opera house is still preferred, with a corresponding willingness to pay, while the live-streamed opera offer may provide a modern touch. The study may help media managers in adapting their brand management to include new digital product offers and to find targeted differentiation strategies for increasingly competitive markets.

The real/atomic structure of single phase homogeneous nanocrystalline Ce0.5Zr0.5O2±δoxides prepared by a modified Pechini route and Ni-loaded catalysts of methane dry reforming on their bases was studied by a combination of neutron diffraction, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, total X-ray scattering and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The effects of sintering temperature and pretreatment in H2were elucidated. The structure of the mixed oxides corresponds to a tetragonal space group indicating a homogeneous distribution of Ce and Zr cations in the lattice. A pronounced disordering of the oxygen sublattice was revealed by neutron diffraction, supposedly due to incorporation of water into the structure when in contact with air promoted by the generation of anion vacancies in the lattice after reduction or calcination at high temperatures. However, such disordering has not resulted in any occupation of the oxygen interstitial positions in the bulk of the nanodomains.

Published: January 2018

This paper addresses the compatibility, morphological characteristics, crystallization, physico-mechanical properties and thermal stability of the melt mixed EMA/NBR blends. FTIR spectroscopy reveals considerable physical interaction between the polymers that explain the compatibility of the blends. DSC results confirm the same (compatibility) and reveals that NBR hinders EMA crystallization. Mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared EMA/NBR blends notably enhance with increasing the fraction of EMA in the blends. Morphology study exhibit the dispersed particles in spherical shape in the nanometer level. Swelling and oil resistance study have also been carried out in details to understand the performance behaviour of these blends at service condition
Relations of Tourism and Hotel Management with Respect to GDP Growth of Republic of Srpska
Authors: Lazarević Momir
Published: January 2018

Tourism is the fastest growing and one of the most profitable industries in the world, with countless opportunities for the economic development of the regions. One should not view tourism and hospitality as separate concepts, since one can neither exist nor can be sustained without the other. A tourist, besides wanting to see and get to know the attractiveness of a place, wants to be offered a satisfactory level of basic (food, accommodation, transport) and additional (entertainment, recreation, shopping. . ) services which will certainly have an influence on his satisfaction and the desire to return. If we don’t turn to socially responsible behavior, we will lose the conditions for the development of tourism, and therefore a possible basis for social and economic prosperity as a result of such a sustainable tourism. Globalisation also appears as a threat of uniformity of everything that surrounds us, because different societies, economies and cultures are increasingly intertwined and thus endanger the identity of one nation, its customs, folklore and overall cultural creativity.

Published: January 2018

The saving and investment balance can ensure the stability of the financial market. The aim of the study is to analyse the dynamics of the saving-investment balance in the Republic of Moldova and its impact on economic growth. The role and possibilities of attracting foreign investments into fixed assets are presented. The indicator of investment growth with a low level of gross savings is a signal or a harbinger of a decline in economic growth. According to the National Bank of Moldova, legal export of capital from the Republic of Moldova takes only a small part in the process of export of capital. The leading role in the mechanism of transformation of savings into investment should belong to BNM.

Published: January 2018

Onitsha is one of the largest commercial cities in Africa with its population growth rate increasing arithmetically for the past two decades. This situation has direct and indirect effects on the natural resources including vegetation and water. The study aimed at assessing land use-land cover (LULC) change and its effects on the vegetation and landscape from 1987 to 2015 using geoinformatics. Supervised and unsupervised classifications including maximum likelihood algorithm were performed using ENVI 4.7 and ArcGIS 10.1 versions. The LULC was classified into 7 classes: built-up areas (settlement), waterbody, thick vegetation, light vegetation, riparian vegetation, sand deposit (bare soil) and floodplain. The result revealed that all the three vegetation types decreased in areas throughout the study period while, settlement, sand deposit and floodplain areas have remarkable increase of about 100% in 2015 when compared with the total in 1987. Number of dominant plant species decreased continuously during the study. The overall classification accuracies in 1987, 2002 and 2015 was 90.7%, 92.9% and 95.5% respectively. The overall kappa coefficient of the image classification for 1987, 2002 and 2015 was 0.98, 0.93 and 0.96 respectively. In general, the average classification was above 90%, a proof that the classification was reliable and acceptable.
Clinical value of ultrasonography in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in critically ill patients
Authors: Zhu Ran , Ma Xiao-Chun
Published: January 2018

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a clinical emergency that will increase the mortality if complicated with unstable hemodynamics. Because of its nonspecific clinical symptoms, it’s a great challenge to make a PE diagnosis. The golden standard to diagnose PE is computed tomography of pulmonary artery (CTPA), but a diagnosis of PE also composed of evaluation of PE risk factors, possibilities, and risk stratification. Ultrasonography may detect right ventricle strain related to hemodynamic change, intravascular thrombosis, thrombosis in right heart or pulmonary arteries, pulmonary infarction, and local pleural effusion. Combination of ultrasound and traditional PE possibility evaluation score may further improve the pretest probability of CTPA. A comprehensive ultrasonography may sometimes rule out PE and may disclose other causes for the clinical situations. A heart-lung-vessel-integrated multiorgan ultrasonography can help with the diagnosis of PE and so should be a necessary weapon for the physicians.

Published: January 2018

Background and Objectives

Provisional and culotte are the most commonly used techniques in left main (LM) stenting. The impact of different post-dilation techniques on fluid dynamic of LM bifurcation has not been yet investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate, by means of computational fluid dynamic analysis (CFD), the impact of different post-dilation techniques including proximal optimization technique (POT), kissing balloon (KB), POT-Side-POT and POT–KB-POT, 2-steps Kissing (2SK) and Snuggle Kissing balloon (SKB) on flow dynamic profile after LM provisional or culotte stenting.

Methods

We considered an LM-LCA-LCX bifurcation reconstructed after reviewing 100 consecutive patients (mean age 71.4 ± 9.3 years, 49 males) with LM distal disease. The diameters of LAD and LCX were modelled according to the Finnet’s law as following: LM 4.5 mm, LAD 3.5 mm, LCX 2.75 mm, with bifurcation angle set up at 55°. Xience third-generation stent (Abbot Inc., USA) was reconstructed and virtually implanted in provisional/cross-over and culotte fashion. POT, KB, POT-side-POT, POT-KB-POT, 2SK and SKB were virtually applied and analyzed in terms of the wall shear stress (WSS).

Results

Analyzing the provisional stenting, the 2SK and KB techniques had a statistically significant lower impact on the WSS at the carina, while POT seemed to obtain a neutral effect. In the wall opposite to the carina, the more physiological profile has been obtained by KB and POT with higher WSS value and smaller surface area of the lower WSS. In culotte stenting, at the carina, POT-KB-POT and 2SK had a very physiological profile; while at the wall opposite to the carina, 2SK and POT–KB-POT decreased significantly the surface area of the lower WSS compared to the other techniques.

Conclusion

From the fluid dynamic point of view in LM provisional stenting, POT, 2SK and KB showed a similar beneficial impact on the bifurcation rheology, while in LM culotte stenting, POT-KB-POT and 2SK performed slightly better than the other techniques, probably reflecting a better strut apposition.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic pseudocyst drainage with lumen-apposing metal stents or plastic double-pigtail stents: A multifactorial analysis
Authors: Ge Nan , Hu Jinlong , Sun Siyu , Linghu Enqiang , Jin Zhendong , Li Zhaoshen
Published: January 2018

Objective

To compare the efficiency of plastic and metal stents for symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) drainage and analyze other main associated factors that affect the outcome of drainage therapy.

Method

Rates of technical and clinical success, procedure-related side effects (hemorrhage, stent migration, and cyst rupture), reinterventions, and duration of hospital stay.

Results

There were 52 patients, 40 patients underwent plastic stent placement and 12 patients underwent lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) placement. The total rate of technical success was 100%. The total rate of clinical success was 100%. The total rate of adverse events was 7.7% (4/52). On multiple logistic regression analysis, the use of plastic stents (P < 0.05, Exp B = 12.168) and the presence of a large cyst (P < 0.05, Exp B = 1.036) were shown to significantly increase the risk of reintervention. On multivariate linear regression analysis, etiology of pseudocyst (P < 0.05, B = −8.427, −9.785, −5.514) was associated with prolonged hospital stent, while stent type was not shown be a factor (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

Both plastic and LAMSs are proven to be highly efficient in PP drainage. The LAMS is superior in preventing complications such as migration and cyst leakage and reducing the rate of reintervention.
Effect of MTHFR A1298C and MTRR A66G genetic mutations on homocysteine levels in the Chinese population: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: January 2018

Background and Objectives

The Chinese population typically has inadequate folate intake and no mandatory folic acid fortification. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) are the two key regulatory enzymes in the folate/homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism. Hcy has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess whether the MTHFR gene A1298C and the MTRR gene A66G polymorphisms affect Hcy levels in the Chinese population.

Methods

This analysis included 13 studies with Hcy levels reported as one of the study measurements. Summary estimates of weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using random-effect models.

Results

Overall, there were no significant differences in Hcy concentrations between participants with the MTHFR 1298 CC (12 trials, n = 129), AA (n = 2166; β, −0.51 μmol/L; 95%CI: −2.14, 1.11; P = 0.53), or AC genotype (n = 958; β, 0.55 μmol/L; 95%CI: −0.72, 1.82; P = 0.40). Consistently, compared to those with the MTRR 66 GG genotype (6 trials, n = 156), similar Hcy concentrations were found in participants with the AA (n = 832; β, −0.43 μmol/L; 95%CI: −1.04, 0.17; P = 0.16) or AG (n =743; β, −0.57 μmol/L; 95%CI: −1.46, 0.31; P = 0.21) genotype. Similar results were observed for the dominant and recessive models.

Conclusions

Neither the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism nor the MTRR A66G polymorphism affects Hcy levels in the Chinese population.

Lopes, TJA, Simic, M, Alves, DdS, Bunn, PdS, Rodrigues, AI, Terra, BdS, Lima, MdS, Ribeiro, FM, Vilão, P, and Pappas, E. Physical performance measures of flexibility, hip strength, lower limb power, and trunk endurance in healthy navy cadets: Normative data and differences between sex and limb dominance. J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 458–464, 2021—The objectives were to provide normative data on commonly used physical performance tests that may be associated with musculoskeletal injuries in Navy cadets and assess for sex and limb dominance differences. A large cohort of Navy cadets were assessed for physical performance tests of flexibility (ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and sit and reach), isometric hip strength, lower limb power (single-leg hop), and trunk endurance (plank and side plank tests). Besides providing normative data tables, sex and limb dominance differences were assessed by a 2-way mixed analysis of variance. A total of 545 Brazilian Navy cadets (394 men) representing 79% of the cadets in the Academy participated. Normative reference values were reported as mean ± SD, 95% confidence interval and percentiles. For tests of muscle strength, power, and endurance, men performed better than women (p < 0.001). For flexibility tests, women achieved greater distances than men for the sit and reach test (p < 0.001), but no difference for ankle dorsiflexion (p = 0.51). Overall, there were no clinically relevant differences between limbs. In conclusion, normative data for commonly used physical performance tests were provided. Although no clinically relevant side-to-side differences were found, men presented higher values for lower limb strength and power, as well as trunk endurance than women, whereas women demonstrated increased flexibility. Valuable normative data are provided to professionals who work with young, active populations from the injury prevention or rehabilitation perspective because the current study may help professionals to identify athletes or cadets whose performance is outside the normative values and may be at risk for injury.

A CRISPR Tagging-Based Screen Reveals Localized Players in Wnt-Directed Asymmetric Cell Division
Authors: Heppert Jennifer K , Pani Ariel M , Roberts Allyson M , Dickinson Daniel J , Goldstein Bob
Published: January 2018

Oriented cell divisions are critical to establish and maintain cell fates and tissue organization. Diverse extracellular and intracellular cues have been shown to provide spatial information for mitotic spindle positioning; however, the molecular mechanisms by which extracellular signals communicate with cells to direct mitotic spindle positioning are largely unknown. In animal cells, oriented cell divisions are often achieved by the localization of force-generating motor protein complexes to discrete cortical domains. Disrupting either these force-generating complexes or proteins that globally affect microtubule stability results in defects in mitotic positioning, irrespective of whether these proteins function as spatial cues for spindle orientation. This poses a challenge to traditional genetic dissection of this process. Therefore, as an alternative strategy to identify key proteins that act downstream of intercellular signaling, we screened the localization of many candidate proteins by inserting fluorescent tags directly into endogenous gene loci, without overexpressing the proteins. We tagged 23 candidate proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans and examined each protein’s localization in a well-characterized, oriented cell division in the four-cell-stage embryo. We used cell manipulations and genetic experiments to determine which cells harbor key localized proteins and which signals direct these localizations in vivo. We found that Dishevelled and adenomatous polyposis coli homologs are polarized during this oriented cell division in response to a Wnt signal, but two proteins typically associated with mitotic spindle positioning, homologs of NuMA and Dynein, were not detectably polarized. These results suggest an unexpected mechanism for mitotic spindle positioning in this system, they pinpoint key proteins of interest, and they highlight the utility of a screening approach based on analyzing the localization of endogenously tagged proteins.

Im  vorliegenden  Beitrag  werden  einige  Besonderheiten  der  Übertragung  von  Dokumenten  des  Deut-schen Ordens ins Litauische besprochen. Seit der 2. Hälfte des 20. Jhs. erschienen immer wieder Überset-zungen des schriftlichen Ordensnachlasses sowie der Chroniken, die mit der älteren Geschichte der bal-tischen Ländern verbunden sind, darunter der Geschichte Altpreußens und Litauens. Diese Dokumente sind auf Latein, Mittelhochdeutsch und Mittelniederdeutsch verfasst und widerspiegeln die Geschichte, Geographie, Ethnographie sowie die sprachlichen Erscheinungen im Rahmen der Benennungsprozesse der Altpreußen und Litauer selbst und der Benennung der geographischen Objekte durch die Bewohner, wie  Gewässernamen,  Siedlungsnamen  und  Flurnamen.  In  den  behandelten  Werken  sind  Spuren  des  appellativischen Wortschatzes der baltischen Sprachen zu finden, wie z. B. graude[n], grawde[n], das aus der Sicht der Autorin des Beitrages am ehesten altpreußischer Herkunft ist. Es wird das Verhältnis der Übersetzer zu diesem Appellativum und zur Lithuanisierung einiger Eigennamen untersucht und gezeigt, dass z.B. der Übersetzer der litauischen Wegeberichte (1384–1402), erschienen im 2. Band der Scrip-tores rerum Prussicarum 1863, eine exakte und gut durch Kommentare belegte Wiedergabe des Textes im Ganzen und der Eigennamen und einiger Begriffe, wie graude[n], grawde[n] im Einzelnen nicht für eine notwendige Bedingung zum Erhalt des Originaltextes gehalten hat. Man darf nicht außer Acht las-sen, dass jede wissenschaftliche Übersetzung in den Prozess der Erkenntnis der komplizierten Vorgänge der Geschiche sowie der Sprache, besonders einer nicht mehr existierenden Sprache, einbezogen werden kann. Deshalb werden an solche Übertragungen besonders hohe Erwartungen gestellt.

This paper outlines a new research project that aims to catalogue and investigate all booklength translations of Dante’s Divine Comedy in 100 countries. This will be, in fact, the first project to map the circulation and translation of Dante’s Commedia across the globe using statistics and analysis. Despite 700 years of Dante Studies, there still exists no comprehensive bibliography of translations; and critical studies still focus primarily on major languages, neglecting less-translated languages. The theoretical background of this project draws on Franco Moretti’s ‘distant reading’, David Damrosch’s theories of world literature, and Johan Heilbron’s world system of translations. This project will include three strands, which it aims to carry out with a team of scholars. The first will examine the empirical data about the translations of the Commedia and their circulation abroad. The second strand will study the formal aspects of the translations, seeing where the Commedia was translated into terza rima, and discovering the predominant metrical forms of translations across the world. The third strand will investigate how the Commedia was translated under censorship, in fascist regimes, theocracies, military dictatorships, constitutional monarchies, the Eastern Bloc and Communist dictatorships. As the project is still in the early stages of research I will not be giving conclusions, but rather suggesting new pathways for future development.
Ankstyvieji Johno Miltono„Prarastojo rojaus“(Paradise Lost) vertimai į italų kalbą: nesėkmingi bandymai ir Dantės įtaka
Authors: Bonda Moreno
Published: January 2018

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

This paper deals with the history of translation in the 18th and 19th centuries. It investigates the reasons behind six unsuccessful attempts to translate John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667) into the Italian language. We hypothesise that the problem was the rendering of unusually marked lexical, thematic, stylistic and rhythmical analogies with Dante’s Comedy and, mainly, with its sources. Adopting Antonio Bellati’s Italian translation (1856) as an indicator, our study focuses on problematic aspects intrinsic to the English poem. Specifically, we suggest that the challenge was the transposition of Paradise Lost’s peculiar mixture of style and meter: the blank verse of a Christian epic poem. This uniqueness rendered it too similar to Dante’s Comedy. Likewise, the setting and the subject matter of the English poem were too adherent to that of both Dante and Virgil’s Aeneid (one of Dante’s main sources). Finally, it might have been difficult to translate Milton into Italian because the English poet openly imitates the Italian epic style, its rhythmical and lexical choices. We conclude that it might have been arduous to avoid even more marked Dantesque influences in an Italian translation. In other words, this study depicts an unusual traductive instance of “excess of equivalence” for lexical and culturally specific items.
Emily Dickinson poezija vertimai į ukrainiečių ir rusų kalbas: sinestetinė slinktis

Published: January 2018

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

This paper focuses on synaesthetic shift occurring in translation of Emily Dickinson’s poetry into Ukrainian and Russian. The research is in line with Redka’s (2009) view of verbal and poetic synaesthesia, a trope which is structurally represented as a word combination, a sentence or even a poem, and manifests itself in the text as the author’s perception of objective reality via visual, colour, tactile, olfactory, auditory and gustatory sensation. We aim to describe two types of poetic synaesthesia: metaphoric, which is realized in the text as an image and is represented in cognition as conceptual metaphor or metonymy; and non-metaphoric, which is triggered by a combination of verbal images and phonetic instrumentation and versification. We thus hypothesise that synaesthetic shift between source and target images leads to the change of the original image and results from changes in versification and phonetic instrumentation patterns in poetry, verbal images and conceptual cross-domain mapping.

The present paper deals with the analysis of the English epistemic phrase “I think” and its related models and their translation into Lithuanian. The aim of the paper is to find out whether the phrase “I think”and its related models can be treated as a cultural concept, peculiar to just the English language, having a unique Anglo script which does not have an exact equivalent in other languages. The analysis is based on  the  methodological  framework  of  the  Natural  Semantic  Metalanguage  and  the  concept  of  cultural  scripts worked out by Anna Wierzbicka.The data comes from two parallel corpora: the Parallel Opus Corpus, which stores texts of European Parliament meetings, and the Parallel English-Lithuanian Corpus compiled  at  the  Centre  of  Computational  Linguistics  of  Vytautas  Magnus  University  (PELC),  which  consists mainly of fiction and some non-fiction texts. The analysis identified the most frequent transla-tion  variants  in  the  spoken  and  written  language.  It  has  been  discovered  that  in  the  spoken  language  (Opus Corpus), the most frequent translation variant of the epistemic phrase “I think” is the first-person present-tense mental perception verb manau (53,5per cent). Manau cultural script corresponds to the Anglo “I think” script. Meanwhile, in the written language (PELC), manau constitutes 26,5percent of all “I think” translation variants. In the remaining cases the translation of the epistemic phrase “I think” varied highly. The findings show that the related epistemic phrases  “I believe”, “I suspect”, “I suppose” and “I guess” in most cases are also rendered by means of the first-person present-tense mental perception verb manau. The research showed that epistemic phrases are cultural concepts that have no direct equiva-lents in the Lithuanian language and that the cultures and mindsets in question are different. It has been established that cultural acknowledgement of the limitations of one’s knowledge is a vast topic of Anglo culture and the English language and it should be approached carefully and systematically.

This article focuses on the findings of my doctoral thesis, which looks at the use of authentic assignments in translator training. The aim of my research project was to develop a robust, but at the same time flexible model that can be transferred to other contexts in Translation Studies.

The research work is divided into two parts: a theoretical part and an empirical-analytic part. The main topic of the theoretical part is a chapter (chapter four) that discusses professional translating as the most important learning outcome of translator training. The focus of the empirical-analytic part is on documentary class observation divided into three different phases: preparation, implementation and evaluation.

Nowadays, it is regarded appropriate to use authentic assignments in translation classes, because they provide students with practical relevance (by giving them the impression of how a professional trans-lator works). At the same time, these kinds of assignments increase the motivation of the students. Nevertheless there is a significant difference between translations done in university classes and the practice of

Morbidity and Mortality in Small for Gestational Age Infants at 22 to 29 Weeks’ Gestation
Authors: Boghossian Nansi S. , Geraci Marco , Edwards Erika M. , Horbar Jeffrey D.

OBJECTIVES:

To identify the relative risks of mortality and morbidities for small for gestational age (SGA) infants in comparison with non-SGA infants born at 22 to 29 weeks’ gestation.

METHODS:

Data were collected (2006–2014) on 156 587 infants from 852 US centers participating in the Vermont Oxford Network. We defined SGA as sex-specific birth weight <10th centile for gestational age (GA) in days. Binomial generalized additive models with a thin plate spline term on GA by SGA were used to calculate the adjusted relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for outcomes by GA.

RESULTS:

Compared with non-SGA infants, the risk of patent ductus arteriosus decreased for SGA infants in early GA and then increased in later GA. SGA infants were also at increased risks of mortality, respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, severe retinopathy of prematurity, and chronic lung disease. These risks of adverse outcomes, however, were not homogeneous across the GA range. Early-onset sepsis was not different between the 2 groups for the majority of GAs, although severe intraventricular hemorrhage was decreased among SGA infants for only gestational week 24 through week 25.

CONCLUSIONS:

SGA was associated with additional risks to mortality and morbidities, but the risks differed across the GA range.

Objetivo: Comparar las variables sociodemográficas con el porcentaje de errores en los ítems del Mini Examen del Estado Mental (meem) entre adultos mayores con y sin deterioro cognitivo.Metodología: Estudio analítico y de corte transversal, el cual se realizó con 955 adultos mayores residentes en la zona rural de un municipio de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo y se aplicó la prueba chi-cuadrado (p < 0,05).Resultados: No se encontró asociación entre el sexo y la presencia de deterioro cognitivo, el cual, a su vez, se relacionó con un mayor grupo etario, un menor nivel educativo y la viudez. En cuanto al meem, los ítems más afectados fueron Atención y cálculo, Capacidad constructiva visual y Memoria de evocación.Conclusión: El estudio pone de relieve la necesidad de desarrollar acciones de salud enfocadas en prevenir el deterioro cognitivo y en mejorar las funciones relacionadas con la cognición de los afectados.Descriptores: Salud del Anciano; Cognición; Población Rural (fuente: decs, bireme).
Pensamiento estadístico: herramienta para el desarrollo de la enfermería como ciencia

Published: January 2018

Objetivo: Integrar los hallazgos de la bibliografía científica que informen sobre la importancia del pensamiento estadístico para el desarrollo de la enfermería como ciencia.Síntesis del contenido: Revisión integradora de publicaciones realizadas en revistas indexadas entre los años 1998 y 2017 en las bases de datos lilacs, sage Journals, Wiley Online Library, Scopus, bireme, Scielo, ScienceDirect, PubMed, cuiden® y ProQuest. Se incluyeron 22 publicaciones cuyos hallazgos fueron extraídos, clasificados y reducidos con el uso de códigos descriptores, códigos nominales y temas emergentes. A partir de las búsquedas surgieron seis temas: Enseñanza para el pensamiento estadístico;Pensamiento estadístico para la toma de decisiones en la práctica; Barreras para el desarrollo del pensamiento estadístico; Competencias necesarias para el pensamiento estadístico; La estadística en la generación de conocimiento para la ciencia; y Desafíos para el desarrollo del pensamiento estadístico.Conclusión: En el desarrollo actual de la enfermería como ciencia, el pensamiento estadístico ha sido una herramienta usada principalmente en el campo de la investigación y en la formación de investigadores. Se ha reportado la presencia de obstáculos para el desarrollo del pensamiento estadístico en los profesionales de la práctica, lo que evidencia la necesidad de conectar la estadística con la práctica de enfermería, para lo cual es indispensable elaborar textos y asignaturas de estadística aplicados al contexto de la disciplina y la práctica.Descriptores: Bioestadística; Estadística como Asunto; Estadística; Ciencia;Enfermería (fuente: decs, bireme).

Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a humans’ high prevalent virus associated with lymphoid B cells tumors development. In canines, few reports have been published regarding the presence of the virus in dogs but its role in this species remain unclear.  The aim of this study was to determine the presence of LMP-1 protein of EBV in 20 canine lymphomas tissues which were previously diagnosed in a period of time between 2004 -2014.  Lymphomas were reclassified in accordance with the new histopathological classifications for lymphomas and were stained by IHQ with anti-CD79a, anti-CD3 and anti-LMP1; specific antibodies for B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and EBV biomarker respectively.  As a result, it was found that the most common lymphoma was T-zone lymphoma in 75% of the cases of the study. The distribution of the cases regarding the immunostaining were: 18 positive cases with anti- CD3, 2 positive cases with anti-CD79a and 6 positive cases with anti-LMP-1.  Positive cases of LMP1 as a biomarker of the presence of EBV corresponded to the 30% of the cases of the study. Chi-square test showed statistical significance between the presence of the virus and the presence of lymphomas, which suggests not only that the virus is circulating in the canine population but also that could have implications in the development of the disease. Regarding demographic parameters, only the Golden Retriever breed showed a relationship with the presence of lymphoma, but not with the presence of the virus.

We give a sufficient condition on strongly separately continuousfunction f to be continuous on space ℓ_p for p ∊ 2 [1;+∞]. We prove theexistence of an ssc function f : ℓ_∞ → R which is not Baire measurable.We show that any open set in ℓ_p is the set of discontinuities of a stronglyseparately continuous real-valued function for p ∊ [1;+∞).
Інваріантні об'єкти конформно голоморфно-проективних перетворень ЛКК-многовидів
Authors: Черевко Евгений Владимирович , Чепурная Елена Евгеньевна
Published: January 2018

Статтю присвячено проблемі голоморфно-проективних перетворень. Варто зазначити, що Й. Мікеш та  Ж. Радулович довели, що локально конформно-келерові многовиди не дозволяють скінченних нетривіальних голоморфно проективних відображень для зв'язності Леві-Чівіта. Ми довели, що локально конформно-келеровий многовид не дозволяє також нетривіальних  інфінітезимальних  голоморфно-проективних перетворень для зв'язності Леві-Чівіта. Але, оскільки зв'язність Вейля, що визначається  на ЛКК-многовиді  формою Лі -- є F-зв'язністю, то для неї  нетривіальні  інфінітезимальні голоморфно-проективні перетворення є можливими. Якщо ми  у такій системі диференціальних рівнянь у частинних похідних перейдемо до  зв'зності Леві-Чівіта, то ми можемо таким чином ввести конформно голоморфно проективні перетворення. Нами отримано необхідні та достатні умови щоб локально конформно-келеровий многовид дозволяв нетривіальну группу конформно голоморфно проективних перетворень та розрахували максимальну кількість параметрів цієї групи. Знайдено інваріантні об'єкти цих перетворень, один тензорного,  другий нетензорного характеру. Також доведено, що на компактному локально конформно-келеровому многовиді векторне поле, що генерує нетривіальні конформно голоморфно-проективні  перетворення є контраваріантним  майже  аналітичним.
