Authors: Szylko-Kwas Joanna , Gajlewicz-Korab Katarzyna , Grutza Anna , Jupowicz-Ginalska Anna
Published: May 2018

In this article, the authors present the results of their research conducted in Polish and German online media in 2016. The major topic of the abovementioned research was the European refugee crisis in Poland and Germany and its representation in websites of four quality newspapers: Wyborcza.pl, Rp.pl, Faz.net and Sz.de. The aim of this article is to analize the role of media in public opinion-shaping in both countries. Through a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the data, the authors answered the following questions: 1) Are the media narratives of both countries different from each other? b) If so, how is the migration problem presented in Poland and in Germany? c) What are their most noticeable features? Among the most important conclusions are the following: 1) The media coverage of both countries is highly politicized; 2) Neither German nor Polish journalists of the opinion-forming quality newspapers did measurably support an isolationist policy. The research has been conducted within the scope of an International project called LEMEL (L’Europe dans les médias en ligne). This program was initiated by Cergy-Pontoise University and is now held annually. Several European countries participate in it (scientists from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania are permanent members of the project’s research group). The aim of the project is a synchronous and diachronic comparative analysis of the content presented in their respective national online media. The analysis focuses on the way Europe and its problems are presented in the abovementioned media content.

Aim. The aim of our work was to investigate the interbreed differentiation of Ukrainian Red-and-Motley and Black-and-White dairy cows based on the results of the analysis of allelic and genotypic polymorphism of DNA microsatellites. Methods. Genotyping of 88 DNA samples of two most numerous dairy cattle breeds in Ukraine – Ukrainian Red-and-Motley and Black-and-White dairy cows – was conducted by 10 loci, recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). The analysis of allelic and genotypic polymorphism was performed using parametric and non-parametric methods. Results. Informative value of DNA microsatellites as markers of genetic processes, which take place in the populations of domestic animals, was assessed. Conclusions. The investigated breeds demonstrate a reliable level of genetic differentiation with a high level of similarity.
Zonal pathogen complex of sunflower in the left bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Borovskaya I. , Petrenkova V.
Published: May 2018

Aim. To determine a set of sunfl ower pathogens and their variability infl uenced by hydrothermal conditions of the crop growing season. Methods. Over the period of 2007–2016, due to phytosanitary monitoring of breeding crops of the scientifi c crop rotation of the Plant Production Institute named after V.Ya. Yuriev of NAAS, the prevalence degree, development intensity and variability of sunfl ower diseases in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine were estimated. The hydrothermal coeffi cient (HTC) is presented for the sunfl ower growing season and by developmental phases of the crop. Results. Phomopsis blight (Phomopsis/Diaporthe helianthi Munt.- Cvet. et al.), gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers.), dry rot (Rhizopus sp.), charcoal rot (Sclerotium bataticolaTaub), and downy mildew (Plasmopara helianthi Novot. f. helianthi) were the most common diseases on sunfl ower in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine in 2007–2016. The weather conditions of 2007–2016 considerably varied and were characterized by fl
uctuations in the hydrothermal coeffi cient (HTC) from 0.57 in 2009 to 1.1 in 2014. Assessing the incidence of the fi ve most common and harmful sunfl ower diseases (dry rot, charcoal rot, gray mold, Phomopsis blight, downy mildew) by cluster analysis for the ten-year study period in relation to the weather conditions of a year, we found that both dry and charcoal rots were co-associated with aridity, while downy mildew and gray mold were frequently promoted by waterlogging during a certain period of sunfl ower development. Unlike the other diseases, Phomopsis blight, being an annual disease, appears to have no clear dependence on any specifi c conditions. Conclusions. Based on the phytosanitary monitoring results of crops in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, the sunfl ower phytopathogen complex composition was determined. The prevalence degrees for Phomopsis blight, gray mold, dry rot, charcoal rot, and downy mildew as well as the development intensities of Phomopsis and gray mold were established. The
co-incidence of the fi ve most harmful sunfl ower diseases in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (dry rot, charcoal rot, gray mold, Phomopsis blight, downy mildew) was evaluated during the ten-year study period, depending on the weather conditions of a year.
The Cycle of Child Protection Services Involvement: A Cohort Study of Adolescent Mothers
Authors: Wall-Wieler Elizabeth , Brownell Marni , Singal Deepa , Nickel Nathan , Roos Leslie L.
Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVES:

To determine if adolescent mothers who were in the care of child protection services (CPS) when they gave birth to their first child are more likely to have that child taken into CPS care before the child’s second birthday than adolescent mothers who were not in the care of CPS.

METHODS:

Linkable administrative data were used to create a population-based cohort of adolescent mothers whose first child was born in Manitoba, Canada between April 1, 1998, and March 31, 2013 (n = 5942). Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) of having that first child taken into care before their second birthday were compared between mothers who were in care (n = 576) and mothers who were not in care (n = 5366) at the birth of their child by using logistic regression models.

RESULTS:

Adolescent mothers who were in care had greater odds of having their child taken into care before the child’s second birthday (aOR = 7.53; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.19–9.14). Specifically, their children had higher odds of being taken into care in their first week of life (aOR = 11.64; 95% CI = 8.83–15.34), between 1 week and their first birthday (aOR = 3.63; 95% CI = 2.79–4.71), and between their first and second birthday (aOR = 2.21; 95% CIl = 1.53–3.19).

CONCLUSIONS:

Findings support an intergenerational cycle of involvement with CPS. More and better services are required for adolescent mothers who give birth while in care of CPS.
O dever de resistir: sobre escolas, professores e sociedade
Authors: Biesta Gert , Picoli Bruno Antonio
Published: May 2018

Nas sociedades contemporâneas existem muitas expectativas sobre o que as escolas devem fazer. Estas incluem a instrumentalização de crianças e jovens para o mundo do trabalho, a sua transformação em cidadãos democráticos ou a criação de uma sociedade coesa e inclusiva. O que une essas expectativas é que elas se aproximam da escola como uma espécie de instrumento para resolver problemas da sociedade. A escola é tratada como tendo uma função para a sociedade e, portanto, como uma instituição que deve ser funcional e útil para ela. O perigo dessa maneira de pensar é que outras questões – como o que a escola deve cuidar ou proteger – desaparecem facilmente do campo de visão. Neste artigo, explora-se como se pode responder à pergunta sobre qual é a “tarefa” especial e exclusiva da escola, argumentando que esta não deve ser vista apenas como tendo uma função para a sociedade, mas também como tendo um dever importante de resistir às demandas que a sociedade deseja que sejam atendidas.****************************************************************** Bruno Antonio Picoli (tradutor)
Sois vosotros valientes héroes. Somos nosotros simples humanos". La experiencia de la guerra del pacífico en los testimonios de los actores
Authors: Coronado Canales David Angelo
Published: May 2018

Resumen en español.La victoria chilena obtenida en la Guerra del Pacífico no sólo es objeto de análisis desde una perspectiva bélica con énfasis en las estrategias o los combates como meta-relatos dignos de la Historia nacional, como un discurso que permita unir en torno de éste a una comunidad nacional, sino que además es relevante escuchar los testimonios de los actores y rescatar sus voces para saber qué nos dicen.Nuestra hipótesis trata de como el discurso oficial de la Historiografía chilena y el recuerdo de la misma Guerra han postergado elementos de historicidad fundamentales para la comprensión de las experiencias de vida de estos hombres cuyos testimonios han perdurado para que podamos descifrar sus subjetividades sobre su vida en campaña.El presente artículo se sitúa en una recopilación de testimonios de soldados chilenos de la Guerra del Pacífico que nos expresan sus subjetividades y nos clarifican el panorama acerca de qué es lo que ellos sintieron y permitiéndonos separar al “hombre del mito” y verlos como lo que realmente fueron, sujetos históricos que por diferentes móviles se vieron envueltos en una guerra en la cuál sufrieron, pelearon y sus recuerdos escritos sobrevivieron estudiarlos. AbstractSummary: the Chilean victory obtained at the War of the Pacific is not only an object of study from a military point of view, with emphasis on the strategies and battles as meta stories worthy of belonging to the History of a nation; but it also is a discourse that allows the unification of a national community around it. In addition, however, it is important to listen to the participants’ testimonies and to recover their voices to know what they are telling us.The hypothesis in this article deals with how the official discourse about the Chilean Historiography and the memory of the same war have neglected fundamental historicity elements to understand the life experiences of these men, whose testimonies have remained so that we can decipher their subjectivities about their lives in campaign.The following article is a compilation of testimonies about the War of the Pacific by Chilean soldiers, who tell us their subjectivities and clarify what they felt, allowing us to separate the “man from the myth” and see them as the men they really were, historical subjects that for different reasons found themselves involved in a war in which they suffered, fought and which they memories survive to be studied.
Las industrias azucarera y petrolera en el Zulia: formas de ocupación territorial (1913-1935)
Authors: Bermúdez Briñez Nilda , Rodríguez Arrieta Marisol
Published: May 2018

Este artículo tiene como objetivo fundamental explicar las distintas formas de apropiación y ocupación de las tierras ubicadas al este y al sur del estado Zulia, situado al occidente de Venezuela, en donde los capitales criollos y extranjeros representados en compañías anónimas invirtieron recursos económicos con la finalidad de instalar las industrias azucareras y petroleras que monopolizaron en poco tiempo extensos territorios para la exploración y explotación de la caña de azúcar y del petróleo. Ambos procesos cabalgaron en diferentes ritmos históricos, con desiguales actores sociales pero en tiempos análogos. La industrialización de estos rubros requirió de amplios espacios que adquirieron y modificaron los líderes de las corporaciones en la medida que lograban comprar, traspasar, negociar, contratar, desalojar y hasta expropiar tierras, casas, animales, fundos, hatos, haciendas o labores agrícolas privadas y públicas, apoyados en la legislación de la época, en sus relaciones con la municipalidad y con el gobierno del general Juan Vicente Gómez. La libertad y el respaldo que gozaron los socios de ambas empresas los llevó a transformar la infraestructura tradicional y adecuarla a las exigencias de las corporaciones que se consolidaban: por primera vez en el país, se instalaron novedosos equipos y maquinarias manejados con tecnologías modernas que requirió de un personal competente y de mano de obra abundante. En este trabajo se utilizó el método histórico como herramienta científica para el abordaje y  análisis del tema.

El trabajo siguiente presenta una aproximación historiográfica al desarrollo jurídico y político de la representación estatal del Trabajo en Europa. En su itinerario señalamos tres dimensiones de estudio (retrospectiva, perspectiva y prospectiva) siguiendo el paradigma de la Historia de las ideas, buscando el significado de las fórmulas corporativas como modalidad de la “política técnica”. Así nuestra historia transcurre desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta los albores del siglo XXI; periodo donde subrayamos las principales ideas y los autores destacados, desde la hipótesis de la pluralidad doctrinal en su origen histórico, las coincidencias ideológicas entre ideologías supuestamente adversas como instrumento político-social, y la pervivencia de ciertos de sus postulados en el Estado social y de derecho actual.
Respuesta de cinco leguminosas de cobertura a la fertilización fosfórica
Authors: Gómez Gómez Robin , González Lutz María Isabel
Published: May 2018

Legume cover crops are planted to control weed, to prevent soil erosion, and to increase nitrogen in soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response to phosphorus fertilization of the legumes Mucuna pruriens cv. cinza, Mucuna pruriens cv. preta, Crotalaria spectabilis, Vigna radiata, and Pueraria phaseoloides, during two seasons of the year. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Agricultural Experiment Station Fabio Baudrit Moreno (EEAFBM, in Spanish), of the University of Costa Rica, Alajuela, Costa Rica, from November 2012 to January 2013, and it was replicated from April to May 2013. Doses of 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg P2O5/ha were applied on steam sterilized soil, and then it was used to fill 2 kg capacity pots. The variables assessed were plant height, a number of true leaves, and dry weight 18-26 days after planting depending on legume species. Crotalaria spectabilis, V. radiata, and P. phaseoloides achieved the highest growth when fertilized at the rate of 60 kg P2O5/ha, whereas both M.prurienscultivars did not increase growth as a response to phosphoric fertilization. Due to the positive effect of phosphorus fertilization on growth of small-seeded legumes, it is important to validate the use of this fertilizer to achieve rapid soil cover, which could decrease weed competition.

Published: May 2018

Agriculture has been one of the causes of deforestation, causing environmental impact and soil degeneration, which leads to lower income earned by farmers; hence the need to implement agroforestry systems .This research aims to describe fromthe initial growth of Eugenia stipitata, Inga edulis, and Inga spectabilis to 320 days after emergence. The study took place at the Amazon Research and Conservation Center of the Amazonas State University, during 2014 and 2015. The growth process was evaluated in regards to plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and branch length. Plant height and stem diameter were compared over time applying variance analysis. Precipitation was also compared to analyze whether its variations had a direct influence on plant growth. The linear and polynomial models fitted better for thespecies regarding plant height and sprout diameter. Predominance of green leaves compared to yellow and dry ones, as branch length showed significant differences over all the sampling periods. The two-way analysis of variance showed significant differences in the correlation between age and precipitation over plant height and stem diameter. The outcomes led to conclude that Eugenia stipitata had a lower growth than both Inga edulis and Inga spectabilis. Branch production and growth and the number of leaves were also important elements of the growth process.

Published: May 2018

Bell pepper is very susceptible to Phytophthora capsici, therefore the use of rootstocks can be useful to reduce the incidence of root diseases and to increase and improve fruit quality and its chemical composition. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of commercial rootstock “Terrano” on the quality and the accumulation of organic elements in the leaf, peduncle, and pulp of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The work was carried out in a mesh shade system in Delicias, Chihuahua, Mexico during the production cycle of 2012, with an experimental 2x2 factorial design in a randomized complete block design where the a) factor was the cultivar: Fascinato and Janette, while factor b) was the use of rootstock “Terrano” (grafted and ungrafted), giving four treatments: Fascinato/Terrano, Fascinato/ungrafted, Janette/Terrano, and Janette/ungrafted. The accumulation of organic elements: nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), hydrogen (H), carbon (C), proteins, as well as the quality of bell pepper (firmness, color, and weight) were evaluated. The results indicate that there were statistically significant differences due to the effect of the rootstock on the studied cultivars (Fascinato and Janette), where the rootstock “Terrano” increased the accumulation of organic elements: N, S, and protein in leaf and pulp of the cultivar Janette; in addition, the weight of the fruit increased. The use of commercial rootstock “Terrano” could be a viable technique to improve the accumulation of organic elements as well as the quality of bell pepper in cultivars Fascinato and Janette.

In some countries of Central America, Moringa spp is considered as the tree of life because of its nutritional properties and its plasticity. In some of them, research is held to take advantage of Moringa spp foraging and nutritional properties regarding plant age, to be used for animal feed. This study aims to evaluate the effect of cutoff frequency on forage yield of Moringa oleifera, cultivar Criolla. The study was carried out in January and December 2012, in a Fluvisol soil of Cauto Valley under irrigation conditions and organic fertilization. A randomized block design with four replications was used and the variables considered were, plant height, number and thickness of shoots, number of leaves, leaf/stem ratio, total dry matter yield (DM), and leaf dry matter to explain the response of cutting at 45 and 60days. All the analyzed variables were significantly affected (p≤0.05) by cutoff frequency. The highest (p≤0,05) yield ofleaf dry matter , stems, and total were obtained when cutting at 60 days with 7.3, 11.8, and 18.4 t MS/ha respectively.It is concluded that cutting frequency modified the productive behavior of cultivars under study.

Alteración del hábitat natural de la especie endémica Pterocnemia pennata-suri como consecuencia del cambio climático en los últimos años
Authors: Mamani Mamani Henry Omar , Herrera Roque Víctor Saúl
Published: May 2018

El siguiente trabajo trata de mostrar cómo es que el cambio climático afecta el comportamiento de los parámetros termopluviométricos y, por consiguiente, este a las especies vegetales y animales, generando problemas naturales.El cambio climático es considerado también como un fenómeno que afecta la vida en toda su dimensión, por lo cual es probablemente el mayor desafío a enfrentar en la última década y así poder preservar toda la vidaen el planeta. Un caso claro es la del suri o avestruz andino, el cual a lo largo de la última década se declaró en peligro de extinción. La metodología utilizada para la evaluación del comportamiento de los parámetros termopluviométricosconsistió en la recopilación de información de las series históricas de temperaturas máximas, mínimas y precipitación de las estaciones de Moquegua, Puno y Tacna; lugares que se denominan como el área de distribución del suri. Seguido a esto, se hizo la sistematización y análisis de los datos, para lo cual utilizamos varios softwares como: Microsoft, Excel, ArcGis y Maxent. Los años a analizar se tomaron desde el 2000 hasta el 2030. Por último, se realizó la interpretación de los resultados obtenidos, los cuales mostraron que existe una relación inversamente proporcional entre la temperatura actual y la precipitación actual, es decir, a mayor incremento de temperatura, habrá una mayor disminución de la precipitación pluvial; del mismo modo, se mostró en los resultados de las temperaturas y precipitaciones a futuro; esto podría indicar que a futuro existirá mayores sequías por esos lugares.
CITE-seq and Cell Hashing v1
Authors: Stoeckius Marlon , Smibert Peter
Published: May 2018

This protocol is for performing CITE-seq and Cell Hashing in parallel. CITE-seq: Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing (CITE-seq) is a multimodal single cell phenotyping method developed in theTechnology Innovation labat the New York Genome Center in collaboration with the Satija lab. CITE-seq uses DNA-barcoded antibodies to convert detection of proteins into a quantitative, sequenceable readout. Antibody-bound oligos act as synthetic transcripts that are captured during most large-scale oligodT-based scRNA-seq library preparation protocols (e.g. 10x Genomics, Drop-seq,ddSeq). This allows for immunophenotyping of cells with a potentially limitless number of markers and unbiased transcriptome analysis using existing single-cell sequencing approaches. Cell Hashing: Sample multiplexing and super-loading onsingle cellRNA-sequencing platforms. Cell Hashinguses a series of oligo-tagged antibodies against ubiquitously expressed surface proteins with different barcodes to uniquely label cells from distinct samples, which can be subsequently pooled in onescRNA-seq run. By sequencing these tags alongside the cellular transcriptome, we can assign each cell to its sample of origin, and robustly identify doublets originating from multiple samples.

During this step, you will be assembling the ARMS units from the individual parts. The unit is a stack of alternating openlayers and closed layers. The closed layers contain a cross-shaped structure dividing the ARMS in four compartments, providing 'cave-like' spaces for organisms. The very first space, at the bottom of the ARMS should always be a closed layer and the top layer will be open. Another important feature is that the first plate should lay flat on the base plate. No space should be created between the first plate and the base plate in orderto avoid creating an extra space for colonization.

Exploration of the Non-normal Students’ Attitude to Taking Part in the Teacher Qualification Examination in China
Authors: Gong Lu
Published: May 2018

As the teacher qualification examination has been extensively spread in China in recent years, a "national examination fever" is rising among non-normal students. A large number of non-normal college students have obtained the teacher certification by taking the qualification exam. It is found that there are all kinds of attitudes to the students’ participating in this exam. Firstly, they once had to choose a non-normal major on account of different reasons, although they expect to be teachers. Secondly, they hold a blind attitude that all their friends take part in it. Thirdly, it is a practical way to have a job choice after graduation. Therefore, we have a responsibility to remind the students to treat the examination rationally, because it can’t ensure them the capabilities required for a qualified teacher even if they have passed three or four subjects. Meanwhile, those who participate in the exam only plan to increase the possibility of getting employed instead of genuine enthusiasm for education can hardly enjoy satisfaction and happiness. Therefore, the non-normal students should recognize and understand the true purpose of the examination and make a rational career planning. At the same time, the government needs to improve the teacher qualification examination system.

A Comparative Study of Adlerian Masculine Protest in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections and Freedom: Individuality despite Similarity
Authors: Rostami Maryam , Eslamieh Razieh
Published: May 2018

This article is studying some of the characters in The Corrections (2001) and Freedom (2010) by Jonathan Franzen (1959) in the light of Alfred W. Adler's (1870-1937) concept of masculine protest. Adler has introduced different aspects of masculine protest some of which are found in the studied novels. This article intends to find the characters who suffer from masculine protest because of the fact that this concept is one of the elements that demonstrates people's inferiority and superiority complex which are the causes of neurosis. On the next level, the differences between the studied novels based on the studied concept will be mentioned, and finally the link between this concept with post feminism and Freud's theories will be briefly discussed.

Assessment of high resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease
Authors: Ayush Mridul , Jakhanwal Ishita
Published: May 2018

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) are group of pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of gas exchanging portion of the lung and diffuse abnormalities on lung radiograph. Conventional computerized tomography plays a limited role in evaluation of interstitial lung disease due to its inability to demonstrate fine parenchymal details. High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is currently the most accurate non invasive modality for evaluating lung- parenchyma. So, the purpose of the study was to assess high resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.Methods: 50 patients with clinical suspicion of interstitial lung disease who were referred to Department of Radio-Diagnosis and Imaging for diagnosis and evaluation were subjected to both conventional radiography and HRCT.Results: Majority of the cases i.e. 9 (18%) had honeycombing, 8 (16%) cases had crazy paving pattern and mosaic attenuation, 7 (14%) cases had miliary mottling, 6 (12%) cases had normal, 5 (10%) cases had fibrosis and ground glass haze, 2 (4%) cases had ground glass haze with Intralobular reticular opacities and 2 (4%), subpleural nodular opacities and 2 (4%) cases had B/lHilar lymphadenopathy.Conclusions: Ultimately all patients with clinical suspicion of ILDs should benefit from an HRCT scan of the thorax. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest scans are essential to the diagnostic work-up since each ILD form is characterized by a specific pattern of abnormalities and a confident diagnosis can often be arrived at by HRCT alone or in correlation with the clinical symptoms. When HRCT findings are characteristic in appropriate clinical settings, HRCT may even obviate the need for a lung biopsy.

There is a major manpower requirement for process production in shipyard
industry under hard working conditions with hazardous material. Shipbuilding
period comprises cutting and marking of the steel plates, steel fabrication,
assembly of the sections, erection on slipway, launching of the vessel, sea
trials and the delivery of the vessel to the Owner. Block fabrication is the
main production process in shipyards. It includes many kinds of inputs and
interconnected processes and each process has an effect on the next stages of a
ship’s life cycle. Thus, a good planning ought to be developed to make an
efficient producing process. Besides, due to the growing environmental
awareness, new and innovative methods must be implemented in ship
manufacturing. In this study, work-flow and data have been obtained from production
stations of a shipyard, which has duplicate production concept, and critical
chain, project and feeding buffers have been calculated. The obtained data has
been compared with the results of calculation and result has revealed that the new
findings have contributed to gaining a more fruitful production process.

Published: May 2018

Increasing trade volume and globalisation of supply chains have increased the importance of ports

in international trade. Due to these developments, ports need to analyse the commodities in their hinterland to

be able to meet their customer requirements. Iskenderun Bay, which is

considered as a gateway to the Mediterranean

Sea, has sufficient infrastructure to serve several

commodity groups. The share of the total cargo handling of Iskenderun Bay is

9.34 % in Turkey. This study aims to analyze the frequency distributions of shipments,

to determine the prominent cargo groups as well as exporting/importing regions

of the ports located in Iskenderun Bay. The total amount of import-export cargoes and cargo groups have been analysed by

the loading/discharging tonnages of the vessels, exporting/importing regions

and the handling ports in Iskenderun. Calculation of the total amount of cargo on ton basis

and shipment frequency has been found by using RStudio software to determine

prominent cargo groups and main export/import

regions. Assan Port, Yazıcı Port, Isdemir Port, MMK Metalurji Port, Orhan

Ekinci Pier, Limak Port, Gübretaş Port, Sasa Terminal, and Petrol Ofisi Pier

Port have been selected for the analysis. 
AUGMENTED REALITY AS BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY IN PORT INDUSTRY
Authors: DENKTAŞ ŞAKAR Gül , SÜRÜCÜ Ebru
Published: May 2018

Augmented Reality as one of the components of Industry 4.0 is defined as a technology which layers digital improvements, geared to develop an existing real life setting by appealing to the senses. Augmented Reality applications will have possible uses in logistics industry in the near future and ports as the critical components of supply chain mechanisms will have no choice but to integrate such technologies to their services. Moreover, the seaports integrating their systems and strategies to such developments are expected to open up a new competitive field for rival ports. “Blue ocean marketing strategy” (BOMS) asserts that businesses should formulate new value for products and services to customers from different segments and place themselves in an uncontested market environment. The main aim of this paper is to provide an insight regarding the Augmented Reality concept in port business and discuss how such applications can serve in building blue ocean marketing strategies. Following a literature review of the port industry from Industry 4.0 perspective, possible applications of Augmented Reality will be considered by focusing on the marketing strategies of the port businesses.

Authors: Campbell Eleanor T. , Stellenberg Ethelwynn , Nurse-Clarke Natasha
Published: May 2018

Child obesity prevention is a relatively new phenomenon in developing countries where food insecurity and malnutrition have been the public health focus. Yet obesity is a global health problem. The purpose of this study was to compare healthy and unhealthy food choices among a convenience sample of 114 adolescent youths from ethically and economically diverse communities in Cape Town, South Africa and New York City using surveys and focus groups. Findings showed no significant differences in healthy food choices among participants regardless of socioeconomic status (SES). For unhealthy food choices, there were significant differences between adolescents from low and middle SES levels. Interviews indicated that unhealthy choices were influenced by money, convenience, and parents. School feeding programs were influential in initiating and sustaining healthy choices, whereas barriers included money and convenience of access to unhealthy food options. Parents and schools provided the most influence on these adolescents’ healthy options by including fruits and vegetables in homemade and school program lunches.

Authors: Alleman Ali-Sha , Allen Milton Sharlene , Darrell Linda , Ofahengaue Vakalahi Halaevalu F.
Published: May 2018

Background:

Work–life balance is a significant issue for women of color in an urban environment whether one is engaged in academia, traditional work, remote/dispersed work, or entrepreneurial work. As women of color attempt to address the tangible and intangible aspects of the “life” portion associated with the work–life balance discussion, elements such as race, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, and caregiver demands toward primary and extended family are often ignored.

Objective:

This article expands the work–life balance discussion to include urban women of color.

Methods:

Uses the lens of a womanist epistemology that incorporates critical race feminist theory while capturing viewpoints of four urban women of color who are social workers in the academy.

Findings:

reflect a nuanced voice challenging the work-life balance discussion to work life management.
"Ortodoks İkonalarında Bir Ölüm Motifi: “Meryem Ana’nın Ölümü”

Meryem, Hıristiyanlıkta Teotokos, “Tanrı Annesi”
kabul edilmekte ve annelik sıfatıyla “Meryem
Ana” olarak zikredilmektedir. O, Kilise’nin başı olan İsa’nın annesi olduğundan
Kilise’nin de annesi kabul edilmektedir. Meryem Ana, lekesiz/günahsız ve sürekli/ebediyen
bakire olma özelliğine de sahiptir. Bu özelliklerinden dolayı genel olarak Hıristiyanlar,
onun doğumundan ölümüne kadar hayatına dair birçok olayı, “bayram” niteliğinde kutlamayı gelenek haline getirmiştir. 15
Ağustos’ta kutlanan Meryem Ana’nın ölümü de bunlardan biridir. Meryem Ana’nın ölümü, “Koimesis”
adıyla, hem Hıristiyan kutsal mekânlarına isim olmuş hem de bu mekânlardaki ikonalar
içerisinde yer almıştır. Önemi dolayısıyla bu makalede de Meryem Ana’nın
ölümü, ikonografik açıdan ele alınmıştır. Meryem Ana’nın Ölüm İkonası’nın
(Koimesis) sözkonusu edildiği makalede, ilk olarak, İkona, Ölüm ve Meryem kavramları
hakkında kısa bilgi verilmiş, ardından genel hatlarıyla ikonaların ve Meryem
Ana’nın Hıristiyanlıktaki yerine ve önemine değinilmiştir. Daha sonra da Meryem
Ana’nın ölümünün ikonografik anlamda yansıması Dinler Tarihi bakış açısıyla
konu edilmiştir.

La comunidad inorgánica: hipótesis sobre el comunismo literario en Novalis, Benjamin y Blanchot
Authors: Alloa Emmanuele
Published: May 2018

El presente ensayo parte de las siguientes preguntas: ¿puede existir una comunidad no-fascista del todo? ¿Puede haber una comunidad (literaria) que no aspire a la realización de una forma de escritura en común, que no funcione para transmitir un sentido, sino para ser testigo de la fragmentación del sentido? Algunas respuestas tentativas surgen a partir de la reevaluación de tres casos experimentales: el grupo Athenaeum; Walter Benjamin como editor y Maurice Blanchot y su Revue internationale, examinando sus ideas y materiales que han sido heredados para probar y evidenciar su sentido para nosotros hoy.
Aprendizaje estético y poética vanguardista en Argentina: Aristóteles con Héctor Libertella
Authors: Díaz Gavier Candelaria
Published: May 2018

Este artículo propone leer dos textos, la Poética de Aristóteles y Nueva escritura en Latinoamérica (1977) de Héctor Libertella, de manera conjunta. La lectura consiste en un ejercicio de igualación de dos textos dispares en cuanto al lugar que tienen en la teoría y la crítica literarias, y en la cultura occidental en general. Así, desde la Poética se explica qué se ha entendido por “universal”, categoría que el ensayo de Libertella se encarga de desmontar; mientras que Nueva escritura… permite abordar al texto clásico desde la perspectiva de su escritura. Es la cuestión del aprendizaje en el arte lo que parece cristalizar las continuidades y las diferencias entre ambos.
Semiótica de la nanoteatralidad

Published: May 2018

A aquisição de linguagem e da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) pelo aluno surdo nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental ainda é pouco estudada no meio acadêmico. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os desafios de atendimento especializado para a aquisição de linguagem/Libras de alunos surdos matriculados nas escolas municipais de Dourados, MS. O estudo fundamenta-se na perspectiva dos Estudos Surdos e na teoria Ecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano de Bronfenbrenner. Teve como metodologia a análise documental, a observação em sala de aula, as entrevistas com o professor surdo e com os intérpretes educacionais. Os resultados indicaram que: os alunos surdos chegam à escola sem o domínio de uma língua de comunicação; há baixa frequência ao Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE). Conclui-se que os intérpretes educacionais, além da função de interpretar as aulas, acabam por ensinar os alunos surdos, uma vez que os alunos pesquisados não frequentam as Salas de Recursos Multifuncionais (SRMs) e aprendem Libras por meio do intérprete educacional (IE) em sala de aula.
