The character of Gareng’s Gecul movement in Sumar Bagyo version of dance
Authors: Wulandari Dewi , Slamet Slamet
Published: January 2018

The aim of this research is to describe and analyze the character of gerak gecul performed by Sumar Bagyo in expressing Gareng. This is considered unique since Sumar Bagyo developed his own version of the movement. Qualitative research by using ethnochoreology approach is used in this research. It is done by using some concepts and theories to support the research. Those theories included social changing theory by A. Boskoff, concept of solah ebrah by Slamet, that is combined with effort-shape by Ann Hutchinson, physiognomy concept by Prasetnyono, mimic and expressive gestures by Morris. Gecul movement which is performed, has its own characteristic that makes it different from other Gareng characters. Based on its wanda (Gareng in Purwa puppet), Sumar Bagyo belongs to wanda kancil since it has the characters of: praupan tengadah, medium face, round head, thin lips, wide forehead/ manyul (Javanese), ovoid nose, up lips, gondhok neck, flat stomach, small slouch body, ndetheng body. Gecul Gareng movement in Sumar Bagyo has the movement motives of gejig, mlaku ceko, sikil mingkup buka, seleh asta, nyorok, nikelwarti, besut alusan, besut gagahan, uncal sikil, geol, and srisig. Those movements always appear in the three types of Sumar Bagyo, either in puppet stage with Gareng identity, or outside of the puppet stage by taking off the Gareng identity.

Published: January 2018

This study aims to answer the women dominance in the Galombang dance creation in Minangkabau, West Sumatra from gender perspective. In addition, this study also reveals the position of women as an urgent thing in the Minangkabau dance creations, Galombang. This research used interdisciplinary approach, namely Cultural Sociology and Dance Anthropology. The data were obtained through various interviews, direct monitoring in the situation of the Galombang dance activity, and literature study to support the primary data. The analysis was done through ethnography method. The result of the research found that women dominance was bigger than men in the Galombang dance creations. In customary idealism, women are not Galombang dancers as the Galombang dance is intended for men. In reality, there is a bigger role between men and women in the Galombang dance; therefore, men’s role is not very decisive on the performance quality and selling value, as well as for the use of dance Galombang creations by society nowadays in West Sumatra.

Mangkunagaran dance style is regarded as a cultural identity that is highly upheld by Mangkunagaran’s society. In the organization that lives in Mangkunagaran, the sustainability of Mangkunagaran dance style is protected by the special art institution namely Langen Praja, under a bigger organization in Mangkunagaran namely Reksa Budaya. The existence of Mangkunagaran dance style is in fact related to the custom and tradition in Pura Mangkunagaran. The aim of this research is to find out how Mangkunagaran dance style is and what kind of roles that Mangkunagaran dance style has that may influence the custom and tradition in Pura Mangkunagaran. Methods used in this research is qualitative. Techniques of data collection used were observation, interview, and documentation study and the data validity technique implemented was data triangulation. Meanwhile, the data was analysed by using text analysis towards the Mangkunagaran dance style and the context analysis towards the role of Mangkunagaran dance in the custom and tradition had by Pura Mangkunagaran.
Bedhaya Bedhah Madiun dance as a tourism superior asset in puro Mangkunagaran
Authors: Suharji Suharji
Published: January 2018

This research aims to describe responds and cultural practice that happened in Mangkunagaran based on the repression of tourism world. This research is an analytical research based on ethnographic study. Triangulation data is collected from the interviewees together with the manuscript of dance performance and direct observation of Bedhaya Bedhah Madiun dance. Classification of tourism dance is responded by Puro Mangkunagaran as the objectification of Bedaya Bedhah Madiun as a free dance. The cultural response potentially alters the semiotic sign system associated with ‘bedhaya’ sign. This is a sign to Bedhaya to add the profanity of Bedaya as a tourist attraction. The objectivity of Bedhaya Bedhah Madiun by Puro Mangkunegara also has a potency to deconstruct the understanding of Bedhaya Bedhah Madiun as a tourist attraction, Bedhaya Bedhah Madiun is not an imitation from the origin and it is not full of variation. Cheap or expensive the dance is, becomes relative. Furthermore, secrecy does not exist in the stage reality, but moves to hyper reality (in the fantasy and nostalgia of the audience). Respond and cultural practice of indicated Puro Mangkunagaran as a cultural institution which is active in doing the production-reproduction of meaning and the tourism enhancement.
Training in Nigerian art schools: a critique of gender distribution
Authors: Abodunrin Johnson Adelani
Published: January 2018

Training is indispensable in all facets of life in order to further knowledge and skills irrespective of gender difference, yet this disparity has become a phenomenon in artistic practice in Nigeria. The study aimed at examining art training in relation to gender distribution into various areas of specialization in art schools in Nigeria. There has been a gender imbalance in various areas of specialization which has left certain areas for male and female. Data for this study were collected in art School in Southwestern Nigeria between 2011/2012 to 2014/2015 academic sessions using archival materials to know the gender affinities. The university selected as sample size within the geographical scope of the study is Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. The selection was based on the orientation of their training and admission criteria which differs tremendously. Descriptive analysis was adopted to know the gender affiliation in the practice. Finding reveals that the total enrollments of students are more of females (55.8%) than male (45.2%) are admitted to study art. The result has also shown that more female (93.3%) specializes in textile while more male (84%) students are in sculpture. This perhaps could be attributed to the nature and the demands of each area of specialization. Textile design attracts more female artist because of; the socio-cultural affiliation of the discipline, interest in fashion; the readily available market for textile wares across all social class and the less demand on draughtsmanship skills as compared to other forms of arts.

Overfed hens selected for their rapid growth become fatter and develop reproductive disorders. Herein, we aimed to demonstrate that food restriction leading to a weight reduction and/or a supplementation with fish oil may be effective in preventing reproductive disorders through the regulation of adipokine expression in broiler hens. This study included four groups of food restricted (Rt) orad libitumhens (Ad, feeding at a rate 1.7 times greater than Rt hens) supplemented or unsupplemented with fish oil (1%). The Rt diet significantly increased plasma chemerin (RARRES2) levels during the laying period, delayed sexual maturity by one week and improved egg quality and fertility. These effects were associated with higher progesterone production in response to IGF1 (or LH) in cultured granulosa cells andin vivoegg yolk, as compared with Ad hens. Fish oil supplementation had similar effects to the Rt diet on progesterone (P < 0.05), but without any effect on fertility. Using RT-PCR, we found thatRARRES2levels were lower in theca cells of Rt hens andNAMPTlevels were increased by the fish oil supplementation. A significant positive correlation betweenRARRES2expression in granulosa cells and the weight of F1 preovulatory follicle was observed, as well as a negative correlation of plasma RARRES2 levels with hatchability. Thus, food restriction but not fish oil supplementation improved fertility, and this was associated with variations in RARRES2 plasma and ovarian expression in hens.
Protecting and Diversifying the Germline
Authors: Gleason Ryan J , Anand Amit , Kai Toshie , Chen Xin
Published: January 2018

Gametogenesis represents the most dramatic cellular differentiation pathways in both female and male flies. At the genome level, meiosis ensures that diploid germ cells become haploid gametes. At the epigenome level, extensive changes are required to turn on and shut off gene expression in a precise spatiotemporally controlled manner. Research applying conventional molecular genetics and cell biology, in combination with rapidly advancing genomic tools have helped us to investigate (1) how germ cells maintain lineage specificity throughout their adult reproductive lifetime; (2) what molecular mechanisms ensure proper oogenesis and spermatogenesis, as well as protect genome integrity of the germline; (3) how signaling pathways contribute to germline-soma communication; and (4) if such communication is important. In this chapter, we highlight recent discoveries that have improved our understanding of these questions. On the other hand, restarting a new life cycle upon fertilization is a unique challenge faced by gametes, raising questions that involve intergenerational and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Therefore, we also discuss new developments that link changes during gametogenesis to early embryonic development—a rapidly growing field that promises to bring more understanding to some fundamental questions regarding metazoan development.
Mosaic Analysis inDrosophila
Authors: Germani Federico , Bergantinos Cora , Johnston Laura A
Published: January 2018

Since the founding of Drosophila genetics by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his colleagues over 100 years ago, the experimental induction of mosaicism has featured prominently in its recognition as an unsurpassed genetic model organism. The use of genetic mosaics has facilitated the discovery of a wide variety of developmental processes, identified specific cell lineages, allowed the study of recessive embryonic lethal mutations, and demonstrated the existence of cell competition. Here, we discuss how genetic mosaicism in Drosophila became an invaluable research tool that revolutionized developmental biology. We describe the prevailing methods used to produce mosaic animals, and highlight advantages and disadvantages of each genetic system. We cover methods ranging from simple “twin-spot” analysis to more sophisticated systems of multicolor labeling.
Etnografinių tyrimų edukologijoje tarptautinės tendencijos ir raida
Authors: Beach Dennis
Published: January 2018

Kaip teigiama Jeffrey, Walford, Delamont ir Atkinson Wiley tarptautinių edukologijos etnografinių tyrimų vadove (Beach, Bagley and Marques da Silva, 2018) keliuose publikuotuose skyriuose, Hammersley ir Atkinson Etnografija: principai praktikoje – viena iš dažniausiai cituojamų edukologijos etnografinių tyrimų publikacijų Šiaurės Europoje, ypač Jungtinėje Karalystėje. Pirmą kartą 1983 metais išleistoje knygoje etnografija aprašoma kaip tyrimo metodas, kuriuo siekiama giliau suprasti lokalias žinias ir kultūrą bei reprezentuoti šią kultūrą ją aprašant. Autoriai pažymi, kad „etnografija apima tiesioginį ir netiesioginį dalyvavimą žmonių gyvenime – stebint, kas vyksta, klausantis, kas sakoma, pateikiant esminius klausimus, renkant visus įmanomus duomenis, kurie padės atskleisti nagrinėjamą problemą – pagrindinį tyrimo objektą“ (1983, p. 1.). Panašių idėjų pateikia ir kiti autoriai. Pasak Trondman, Willis ir Lund (2018), šių idėjų ištakos – 1907 metais Paryžiuje pradėta diskusija apie etnografinius tyrimus, jų galimą vaidmenį ir vertę socialiniam teoretizavimui. Į šią diskusiją įsitraukė tokie socialinių mokslų atstovai, kaip antai Emile Durkheim ir René Worms. Pastarasis pradėjo diskusiją. Pasak jo, etnografija – metodas pavaizduoti „primityvias visuomenes“. Durkheim teigė, kad etnografinis tyrimas yra prasmingesnis ir gali suteikti patikimą pagrindą analizuojant kultūras, kultūros procesus ir jų istorinę raidą visose visuomenėse, ne tik vadinamosiose primityviose. Vėliau šiuo principu vadovavosi Čikagos sociologijos mokykla (angl. Chicago School of Sociology). Pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais Jungtinėse Amerikos Valstijose ir Jungtinėje Karalystėje šiuo principu remiantis nusakomi edukologijos etnografinių tyrimų parametrai. Edukologijos etnografiniai tyrimai pasklido ir kitose šalyse. Šiame straipsnyje apžvelgiama edukologijos etnografinio tyrimo istorinė raida ir šiuolaikiniai iššūkiai, ypač Europoje.
Vizualinės dokumentacijos ir refleksijos pagalba mokantis lauko tyrimų
Authors: Saltofte Margit
Published: January 2018

Nuotraukos gali būti naudojamos kaip lauko tyrimo užrašų priedas ir refleksiją skatinantį priemonė lauko tyrimų ir jų analizės metu. Būdamos tyrimo dienoraščio dalis, nuotraukos gali padėti atgaminti patirtį ir palaikyti reflektyvų atstumą nuo įvykių. Nuotrauka, kaip vaizdinė reprezentacija, taip pat gali skatinti mokymo(si) ir žinių „gavimo“ (angl. production) refleksiją bei atskleisti paslėptas žinias. Remiantis studentų patirtimi vykdant dalyvaujantįjį stebėjimą, straipsnyje diskutuojama, kaip nuotraukos ir vizualinės reprezentacijos padeda mokytis lauko tyrimų ir jų analizės. Mokymosi proceso vaizdai gali padėti suvokti ir užfiksuoti svarbias reikšmes, įgytas lauko tyrimo metu ir apie patį lauko tyrimą. Žinoma, nuotraukos negali pakeisti rašytinių dokumentų. Jos turi eiti išvien su tekstu, kuris gali paaiškinti, kas nuotraukoje reprezentuojama. Analizė rodo, kad studentų portfolio gali būti saugykla, kurioje jie dokumentuoja savo mokymosi ir supratimo procesą. Reikšmių kūrimo procesas – dėl savęs (arba grupėje) ir dėl analitinių minčių prezentacijos – gali vykti tiek su, tiek be realaus nuotraukų rinkinio. Tačiau individualus mokymosi nuotraukų rinkinys tampa neišsemiamų minčių ir aprašymų vienetų šaltiniu. Jis padeda sujungti pasinėrimą į savo mintis, ankstesnes refleksijas, prisiminimus ir patirtis bei reflektyvų atstumą ir tai yra esmingai svarbu, norint atlikti sėkmingą dalyvaujantįjį stebėjimą.
Trade Openness Effect on Income Inequality: Empirical Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Agusalim Lestari , Pohan Fanny Suzuda
Published: January 2018

This research analyzed the effect of international trade openness to income inequality in Indonesia using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The data used is the secondary data, which are the export-import value, gross domestic product (GDP), GDP per capita, open unemployment rate, and Gini index. The results of this study indicate that in the short term the trade openness has negative impact significantly on the income inequality. However, in the long-run, it does not show any significant effect in decreasing the income inequality rate. The impulse response function (IRF) concluded that income inequality gives a positive response, except on the third year. Based on the forecast error variance decomposition (FEDV), the trade openness does not provide any significant contribution in effecting the income inequality in Indonesia, but economic growth does. Nevertheless, in long-term, the economic growth makes the income inequality getting worse than in the short-term.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i1.5527

Published: January 2018

This paper aims to provide contemporary and comparative information on mergers and acquisition activities. The findings have shown that Vietnam is very active in mergers and acquisitions activities, for instance in Vietnam 2946 transactions were announced, and 2114 completed in the last decade. Furthermore, Vietnam has a distinctive element of merging local firms; Out of top 20 deals, in 18 transactions target firms and acquirer both were from Vietnam. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has the highest percentage of completed M&A transactions in the last decade compared to Pakistan and Vietnam. In case of Pakistan, the findings suggest that Pakistan has had the highest number of value-based Mergers and Acquisitions deals in comparison to Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Interestingly, even though the number of transactions is higher compared to Sri Lanka and Vietnam; however, mergers and acquisition have had no significant impact on the profitability of Pakistan companies.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i1.6074

Authors: Febriningtyas Miranda , Oktaviani Rina , Arifin Amzul
Published: January 2018

Rules of origin that indirectly serve as trade barriers, thus raising the potential for increased production costs. In agricultural commodities, the rules of origin are primarily determined by wholly-obtained,  so the potential for more significant increases in the cost of agricultural products versus other commodities. The purpose of this paper is to compare the restrictiveness index rules of origin in ASEAN + 1 FTAs (ACFTA, AJCEP, and AKFTA) on agricultural commodities. This study uses the Regime Wide Harris Index by Kelleher to calculate the restrictiveness level rules of origin in ASEAN + 1 FTAs. Based on product-specific regulations, AJCEP has the most flexible rules of origin, followed by AKFTA and ACFTA as the most restrictive of origin in ASEAN + 1 FTAs. In the Regime Wide Harris Index, the results show that AJCEP has a flexible origin rule after AKFTA, and ACFTA is the most strict rules of origin in ASEAN + 1 FTAs. These results are influenced by the most substantial diagonal side cumulation in the ACFTA.DOI: 10.15408/sjie/v7i1.6432

Published: January 2018

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar a percepção binocular da ilusão da máscara côncava em indivíduos com Síndrome de Abstinência do Álcool comparativamente aos saudáveis. Indivíduos saudáveis, com Síndrome de Abstinência do Álcool leve e com moderada, observaram com os dois olhos, a face côncava de uma boneca disposta dentro de uma caixa, a classificam como côncava ou convexa e atribuíram centímetros a sua classificação. Apenas os observadores com Síndrome de Abstinência do Álcool moderada apresentaram um déficit em realizar a inversão visual da máscara côncava, diferindo estatisticamente do grupo de observadores saudáveis. Os grupos não diferiram quanto às atribuições métricas de profundidade ou relevo à máscara côncava. Constatou-se que a máscara côncava é um instrumento efetivo na detecção de possíveis prejuízos perceptuais em indivíduos com Síndrome de Abstinência do Álcool moderada.

Abstract:

Acute pericardial tamponade is one of the most emergent clinical scenarios in cardiac surgery. With numerous causes in the background, pericardial tamponade can lead to cardiogenic shock and death. In modern diagnostic era, the recognition of pericardial tamponade is simple, but its management and the long-term effects can still be challenging. Without the detailed understanding of the pathophysiological pathways diagnostic and therapeutic management plans of pericardial tamponade is very difficult. The aim of this review was to give a complex picture of pericardial tamponade, from its role in medical history to pathophysiology and its significance in surgical experimental models.

Anywhere in the world, natural disasters events cause loss of life, moreover a deep sorrow and fear for the victims. They were in a state of very uneasy, very scared, never-ending anxiety, and become prone to panic. These conditions called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a continuous maladaptive reaction to a traumatic experience. In contrast to adults, children are in a state highly vulnerable to the impact caused by a traumatic event. Children with PTSD may show confusion or agitation. This condition brings suffering prolonged, if not given proper treatment. It required a specific intervention design for children with PTSD namely Play Therapy techniques. This intervention is one way that can be used to understand the world of children through playing, so that when used in the right circumstances can be meaningful as physical activity as well as therapy.
Authority, Space, and Literary Media
Authors: Feldt Laura
Published: January 2018

This article discusses religious authority changes in late antique Gaul, where spatial and literary media played important roles in how religious authority was maintained, negotiated, and transformed in Western Europe in the aftermath of the Roman empire. The analysis uses theories of social space to analyse and discuss how the authority of the desert space, and ascetic practice, was negotiated through the literary medium of Eucherius of Lyon’s Epistula de laude eremi (In Praise of the Desert), as well as how the authority of the text as a medium is constructed. This analysis then forms the basis for a discussion of religious authority changes in late Antique Gaul following the success of ascetics as bishops, and the role of spatial and literary media in this process. In a world of large scale societal changes, literary media promoting ascetic holy figures, and the ascetic space of the desert, played a decisive role in transformations of authority and in negotations of the meanings of authoritative texts. Such media were created and used by ascetics, bishops, and theologians as means with which to change forms of religious authority, in an era in which the status of asceticism was a matter of contention and the authority of monks and church leaders was insecure. The authority transformations of the era became consequential for Western European history.
The Authority of Translators
Authors: Høgel Christian
Published: January 2018

Texts–and the stories and teachings they contained–travelled far along the Silk Road in the hands of merchants, missionaries, monastic communities and many more. The intricate itineraries and the many languages and scripts used on the way have received much attention, and we can therefore follow some of the stages and versions that stories like the Barlaam and Josaphat (as it was known in the West) went through in its long journey from Sanskrit India to e.g. Norse-writing Norway. But in studies of such transfer of texts, translation has mainly been seen as a linguistic enterprise, requiring language skills and linguistic strategies of translators. The present paper aims at involving also material aspects of this process, focusing on the material conditions into which texts were inscribed on the way. The transformation from stringed palm leaves, to single parchment leaves or rolls, and then to bound codices also had an impact on the structure, presentation and symbolic value of these texts. Layout, the place and possibility of illuminations, as well as the portability and physical resilience of the written text all depended on the traditional manners of book production, and these varied immensely over the expanse of the Silk Road. Being authoritative to various degrees in themselves, texts entered, when translated and re-circulated, into a universe of multiple authority holders where translators (in a broad sense) would have to reinvent authoritative presentations of the new text, acting in many ways as vendors of it. This would in itself imply a–brief–authoritative position, comparable to the ‘authority of the seller’ auctoritas venditoris, as expressed in Roman law.

Investigation of tribological properties of CuO/palm oil nanolubricant using pin-on-disc tribotester
Authors: Azman Nurul Farhanah , Samion Syahrullail , Sot Mohamad Nor Hakim Mat
Published: January 2018

It has been proposed that nanoparticles have the ability to enhance the tribological properties of lubricants. In the present research, the tribological properties of a palm-oil-based nanolubricant with copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have been investigated experimentally using a pin-on-disc tribotester. The experiments were conducted at a sliding speed of 0·2 m/s and an applied load of 9·8 N, which corresponds to a contact pressure of 0·93 GPa for 60 min duration. Commercial mineral oil (SAE40) was used for comparison purposes. The results show that the tribological properties of the palm-oil-based lubricant were improved with the presence of copper (II) oxide nanoparticles, showing huge reductions in coefficient of friction and wear scar diameter of about 56 and 48%, respectively. The findings revealed that the presence of copper (II) oxide in palm kernel oil (PKO) reduced the roughness of the pin surface by 43·7%. The results also show that the tribological properties of the copper (II) oxide/palm-oil-based nanolubricant were comparable to those of SAE40.

Crenças e meios de pesquisa de informação acerca da fertilidade e suas consequências no tratamento e no projeto de vida dos casais.
Authors: De Oliveira Nunes da Silva Mónica Alexandra
Published: January 2018

Potenciado por fatores como o aumento de mulheres a aceder ao ensino superior, do desemprego e da instabilidade financeira entre os jovens adultos, o nascimento do primeiro filho tem sido adiado nas últimas três décadas (Schmidt, Sobotka, Bentzen, & Andersen, 2012). Paralelamente, a literatura tem apontado para um fraco conhecimento, por parte dos casais, acerca da diminuição da fertilidade com a idade, havendo uma visão irrealista face à facilidade em engravidar em idades mais tardias e à eficácia da Fertilização In Vitro. De forma a encontrarem respostas às suas dúvidas, os casais recorrem cada vez mais à internet, sendo as suas opções de tratamento fortemente influenciadas pela informação online adquirida (Huang, Al-Fozan, Tan, & Tulandi, 2003), apesar da evidência da qualidade comprometedora da informação relativa à saúde obtida através da internet. Estando inseridos numa sociedade que procura respostas imediatas e de fácil acesso e tendo em conta que não existem regulamentações para a informação que é colocada online, os técnicos de saúde têm a responsabilidade de orientar e recomendar aos seus pacientes fontes de informação que considerem fidedignas e cuidadosas na internet.

Published: January 2018

Introdução: nas últimas décadas grande importância foi importada à bactéria Helicobacter Pylori. A infeção por Helicobacter Pylori constitui um problema de saúde pública, reconhecida como uma das infeções crónicas mais comuns estimando-se que cerca de metade da população mundial esteja infetada. Esta bactéria, localizada na mucosa gástrica, relaciona-se com algumas patologias: gastrites, carcinoma gástrico, úlcera péptica.Métodos: realizámos um estudo transversal analítico com uma amostra comunitária de adultos dos concelhos de Viseu e Satão. A amostra final ficou constituída por 166 adultos, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 92 anos de idade (média de 46,96±3,17 anos) e a maioria do género feminino (56,6%). Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário auto-aplicado com questões referentes a aspetos sociodemográficos, agregado familiar e hábitos e estilos de vida diários. A infeção por H. pylori foi identificada com recurso ao teste respiratório da urease. O teste foi realizado pela manhã após pelo menos 6 horas de jejum. A análise estatística realizou-se com recurso ao programa estatístico SPSS 23.0. As prevalências expressas em proporções e comparadas pelo teste qui-quadrado, com um nível de significância de 0,05. As associações foram calculadas com recurso ao Odds ratio, com intervalos de confiança de 95%.Resultados: A prevalência de Helicobacter Pylori foi de 48,8%, (50,0% no sexo feminino e 47,2% no sexo masculino). Encontrámos percentagens maiores no sexo feminino, para idades ≤ 50 anos, estado civil casado, nível de escolaridade inferior ao 12º ano, para um maior número de irmãos e em pessoas que se encontravam no ativo, contudo as diferenças não foram estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: quase metade da amostra apresentava infeção por Helicobacter Pylori. Não encontrámos associação entre o Helicobacter Pylori e o sexo; idade; estado civil; escolaridade, índice de massa corporal, situação profissional, número de elementos do agregado familiar e número de assoalhadas.

Published: January 2018

Hominin skeletal remains from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, represent a minimum of 15 individuals of the extinct species Homo naledi. We examined the dental material from this sample in order to assess the life-history stages of individuals in the sample, in particular to determine the minimum number of individuals in the sample as a whole, and within each of six age classes. We found evidence of individuals within every age class: infant, early juvenile, late juvenile, subadult, young adult and old adult. The Dinaledi Chamber sample is notable in comparison to other samples of human, chimpanzee and fossil hominins in that it has a relatively high representation of juvenile remains, as compared to infants and adults. With 15 individuals, the sample size presented by the Dinaledi dental material is too small to test the hypothesis of attritional versus catastrophic accumulation. The data here provide a basis for further investigation of individual associations within this commingled assemblage, and provide an important comparative data set as a basis for the consideration of life history in H. naledi and other extinct hominin populations.
Significance:

We identified a minimum number individuals so far recovered in the assemblage and document the use of molar eruptions as biomarkers of life-history stages to sort the individuals into age classes.
We provide a demographic profile of individuals from the chamber and establish a comparative data set for life history in extinct hominin populations.

Non-native EFL Teachers’ Perception of English Accent in Teaching and Learning: Any Preference?
Authors: Wong Ruth
Published: January 2018

This study studied the accent perception of a group of non-native pre-service EFL teachers in Hong Kong in order to see whether native English norm is of their preference for teaching and learning. Results found that participants all preferred traditional native English as learning model and seemed to have overlooked the principle of intelligibility, even there had been calls for using lingua franca core as learning model. Results show that participants all preferred using native English to be the model of teaching and learning. Among all the native English varieties, participants preferred the accent from the United Kingdom though not all could identify the accent they preferred. The study showed there was a mismatch between what the participants preferred and their ability of identifying accents of different kinds.
An Evaluation of the Cultural Aspects in the University English Textbook, Well Read 1
Authors: Al-Sofi Bakr Bagash Mansour
Published: January 2018

This descriptive study, first, seeks to identify the extent to which the different cultures (source culture, target culture, and international target culture) are represented in the textbook, Well Read 1. This textbook is written by Laurie Blass, Mindy Pasternak, and Elisaveta Wrangell and published by Oxford University Press (2007). Second, it aims to recognize the way these cultural aspects are presented. Third, it ascertains the most dominant and portrayed culture(s) in the prescribed textbook. The content analysis method was employed to meet the abovementioned objectives, and Cortazzi and Jin's (1999) model was followed. The purposive sampling was applied to elicit the data from this textbook through selecting representative texts and passages. The findings clarified that the three cultures (source culture, target culture, and international target culture) are generally represented to varying degrees throughout this culturally-based textbook. Besides, the cultural aspects were explicitly and implicitly embedded in different cultural areas in the form of online, magazine, academic and timeline articles. Moreover, it is evident that the target and the international target cultures predominate with little reference to the learners' source culture, i.e. Islamic and Arabic culture (Turkey, Mediterranean, and Morocco). Being aware of the different cultural aspects and the inseparability of language and culture is crucial for an efficient use of English in diverse contexts.
An Analysis of Puns in The Big Bang Theory Based on Conceptual Blending Theory
Authors: Zhang Le
Published: January 2018

Pun, as a rhetorical device, is widely employed in both written and oral language. It plays a key role in generating and carrying humorous effects. The former research of Puns is usually concentrated on its definitions, classifications, translation strategies, pragmatic functions and are mainly narrowed down to the scope of rhetoric, semantics and pragmatics. However, few scholars have studied puns from a cognitive perspective. Based on Conceptual Blending Theory, the author collects 100 puns from 40 episodes of the first two seasons of The Big Bang Theory as the sources of research subjects. According to the users, types and functions of puns and data analysis, this study has come to the following conclusions: (1) Among the many characters, Sheldon is the person who uses puns the most, which fully reflect his personality of arrogance and showing off. Meanwhile, contextual puns appeared the most in the sitcom, which indicates the sitcom has a close connection with daily life. (2) The mirror network model, single-scope network model and double-scope network model could be conducted to construct meaning, while the meaning construction of puns cannot be used through simplex network model. (3) Puns have four kinds of functions in The Big Bang Theory. The major functions of pun are humorous, followed by sarcastic, persuasive and aesthetic functions. This article is helpful to readers to understand the meaning of puns correctly, at the same time it can promote the further application of Conceptual Blending Theory.

A Study of Pragmatic Functions of Fuzziness in News Reports from the Perspective of Adaptation Theory
Authors: Lian Yun
Published: January 2018

Accuracy is one of the biggest features of news reports, but in fact, we often note that news reports will use a lot of fuzziness, which plays an important role in these news reports. Grounded on Verschueren’s adaptation theory, mainly choosing the representative news reports of China Daily and USATODAY as an example, this paper analyzes the pragmatic functions of fuzziness in news reports and illustrates the rationality of fuzziness in theses news reports and reveals that appropriate use of fuzziness in news reports is conductive to the rigor and accuracy of news reports.

Published: January 2018

This study aims at exploring the animal characters that can interact with human in Novel O, a semi-fable novel by Eka Kurniawan, using the perspective of animal studies. Results show that Eka Kurniawan makes animals as the major characters in his novel, of which are able to interact with human. According to the notion of socio-politics, animal is simply an illustration of recent human beings either in Indonesia or in a more universal context. In addition, based on Sartre’s philosophy, animal and human have freedoms including but not limited to freedom of thinking and acting. They also have a right to transform into anything as long as they are responsible for any possible consequences. In connection with the law of human relation, human beings must respect among others, animals and nearby environments, due to the fact that the three of them are interlinked components of life.
