Authors: Desai Neha , Momin Munira , Singh Upasana , Khan Tabassum , Sherje Atul
Published: February 2019

Objective: The present work was undertaken with an aim to develop and validate a rapid reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of curcumin and cyclosporine in the capsule dosage form.

Methods: The RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous estimation of curcumin and cyclosporine was developed using Agilent (Infinity 1260) HPLC system and Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 x 150 mm i.d., 5µ) stationary phase. The optimized mobile phase comprised of acetonitrile: water: methanol (50: 10: 40 v/v/v) pumped at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Separation of drugs was achieved in an isocratic mode and elution was monitored using PDA detector at 214 nm. The method was validated as per ICH-Q2R1 guidelines.

Results: Retention time of the curcumin and cyclosporine were found to be 3.073 min and 6.373 min with the correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9993 and 0.998 respectively. The response of curcumin and cyclosporine was found linear in the concentration range of 8-48 μg/ml and 4-24 μg/ml respectively. The percent recovery values were found in the range of 97-103% indicating satisfactory accuracy of the method. The percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) values for the precision study was less than 2 which suggest that the method is precise.

Conclusion: The proposed method was found accurate, precise and specific for the determination of curcumin and cyclosporine in bulk as well as in capsule dosage form. Thus, the present method can be used for routine analysis and quality control of curcumin and cyclosporine in bulk and capsule dosage form.

Authors: Marchianti Ancah Caesarina Novi , Prameswari Mega Citra , Sakinah Elly Nurus , Ulfa Evi Umayah
Published: February 2019

Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the effect of fractionation of Merremia mammosa Lour. (Mm (Lour.)) extract on diabetic wound healing by observing collagen synthesis process and to search the most potent fraction.Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n=5), i.e., K-(negative control), K+ (positive control), K1 (ethyl acetate fraction), K2 (water fraction), and K3 (n-hexane fraction). The Mm (Lour.) was extracted with ethanol 70%, then fractionated by using three solvents which have different polarity. The rats were adapted in 7 days, then induced into diabetic by streptozotocin dose 40mg/kg body weight. The wound was made by Morton excision method. Treatment was given every two days and skin biopsy was done on day 11. Analysis of collagen density was done by photomicrograph of histopathology preparations in Massonâ€™s trichome stained by using trinocular microscope with 400x magnification in 6 fields of view, then processed by imageJ software and analyzed by appropriate statistic tool.Result: The results of this research showed that fractionation of Mm (Lour.) extract significantly enhanced diabetic wound healing based on macroscopic (percentage of wound healing) and collagen density with p-value<0.05 when compared with negative control, especially the water fraction (p=0.000). The follow up post hoc analysis showed that there was noÂ­ significant (p=0.989) or there was no meaningful difference in the group of water fraction when compared to positive control.Conclusion: Water fraction is the extract fraction of Mm (Lour.) which has the most significant influence on diabetic wound healing showed by enhancement of collagen synthesis.

Authors: Shanker Ravi
Published: February 2019

Service industry is fast becoming the key to a nation’s success and its importance in the world economy is tremendous. In India too, the service industry boom has powered the growth of the economy. Service industry is different and hence poses special management challenges. There are some unusual variables that affect the performance of these organizations. The ‘marketing culture’ of the organization is one such factor. The paper relates to it, in the context of banking sector in India. Post liberalization, the banking Industry became highly competitive as the number of banking institutions increased, multi-folds. Currently there are 87 banks in India (21 public sector banks, 21 private sector banks, and 45 foreign financial intermediaries and Banks) competing with each other. It has also been observed that one of the variable on the basis of which the banks are competing is providing superior customer contacts, which is possible through customer centric employees and the marketing culture that exist in the banking organization.  Marketing culture refers to the pattern of shared values and beliefs that help individuals understand the marketing function and provide them with norms for behavior in the firm. An orientation and culture towards marketing within the organization is most imperative.The paper is based on primary research being undertaken on three banks selected from each category mentioned above. A questionnaire was developed with the help of which the marketing culture of a service firm was assessed. The questionnaire uses 34 items measuring six dimensions of marketing culture, as identified by leading researchers. These six dimensions are service quality, internal communication, innovativeness, organization, Inter-personal relationships and selling tasks. The paper has used parametric approach to analyze and understand the attitude of the employees of each of the banks towards the dimensions identified. The inter-relationships among the six dimensions for each of the banks have also been studied. Weights have been assigned to the six dimensions and the responses have been accordingly assessed. The results of the analysis clearly show the foreign banks score the highest on the IMC index and the nationalized banks the lowest.

Authors: Tokar Yevheniia Borysivna , Fainman Inna Borysivna
Published: February 2019

The primary focus of this paper on methodology is the lexical content of systematic and carefully devised course for teaching English to aviation students in order to expand their English vocabulary and, thus, allow them to communicate more freely and clearly. Having a large English vocabulary is a very important part of communication in aviation industry. Along with pronunciation and grammar, it provides the foundation for better speaking and listening skills. The first part of the paper discusses current vocabulary teaching strategies. The second section offers a teaching method of intentional planned work on aviation glossary items, arranged by the authors into a logical consistent workflow with several subsequent stages and steps. We state that mastering a word means complete understanding of its meaning, its use, and its ability to get connected with other words in a sentence. We underline the importance of regular, intentional exercises in practicing vocabulary after it has been presented to students. Thus, we differentiate the following stages in vocabulary teaching course: 1) presentation, which includes. semantization, addressing the word form and working on the word usage/collocation; 2) multiple exposures to targeted words, i.e. practising word recognition and production in a meaningful context (in collocations, phrases, sentences, and on out-of-phrase level - dialogues or monologues); and 3) active involvement in different speech acts. Each part is supplemented with examples of strategies, classroom techniques and exercises to be used in Aviation English course.
PRACTITIONER OF EFL FOR NON-ENGLISH MAJOR UNDERGRADUATES: SPECIFIC PROFESSIONAL NEEDS
Authors: Matsnieva Oksana
Published: February 2019

The paper deals with the problem of forming the methodological competence of a prospective practitioner of EFL for non-English major undergraduates. Foreign language learning environments training English and non-English majors have been comparatively analysed from the point of view of the teaching objective, result, content, process and resources. On the basis of the analysis, specific professional needs of a practitioner of EFL for non-English majors have been singled out. They encompass such components of the practitioner’s professional activity as research, designing, organizing, self-education, and collaboration. Research and designing include students’ educational and job-related needs investigation, academic and professional discourse analysis, teaching objective specification, teaching content selection, course syllabus development, teaching materials selection, adaptation and development. Organizing focuses on the application of the functional approach to EFL acquisition, computer-assisted learning, distance learning, blended learning, content and language integrated learning (CLIL), role plays, business games, simulations, differentiation strategies in the groups with the heterogeneous input level of the students’ intercultural communicative competence and low level of motivation to foreign language learning. Self-education presupposes developing a positive attitude to the students’ field, monitoring the latest news and achievements in it, mastering the basics of the students’ major, its terminology, genre and discourse peculiarities. Collaboration includes cooperation with students, readiness to be corrected by them when a solecism in the subject is made by the practitioner and collaboration with a teacher of the students’ major while selecting the teaching content, designing the course and in team teaching. The singled out peculiarities are to be taken into consideration while designing the structure of the methodological competence of a practitioner of EFL for non-English major undergraduates.

To prepare future professionals for such communication and work process, the authors of this paper designed and implemented a joint project between 4th year students studying for a degree in International Economic Relations at the University of Economics in Varna, Bulgaria, and 1st year students from the University of Costa Rica (UCR) from the Business Administration major. The paper describes the process of collaboration within the project teams, the outcomes and the lessons learned from this educational experiment.
FRICTION PILE RELIABILITY ANALYSIS WITH RESPECT TO THE FOUNDATION SOIL BEARING CAPACITY
Authors: Utkin Vladimir S.
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Friction pile reliability under the action of the central compressing force according to the Set of Rules 24.13330.2011 is calculated from the first group of the limit states — from the bearing capacity (using the pile material strength criteria and the foundation soil bearing capacity criterion) and from the second group of the limit states — from the pile load-deformation behaviour.
Materials and methods. A method of calculating the friction pile reliability from the foundation soil bearing capacity is considered. Reliability appears as a quantitative measure of safety of a single pile operation. The foundation soil bearing capacity is accepted as a criterion for the pile operating capacity. The pile reliability analysis is based on the statistical information obtained during the preliminary pile testing with measuring the friction on the surface of the pile placed in the soil layers and the soil stress under the pile foot. The testing methods for obtaining the statistical information were well-known and used earlier to generate the lists of f-values and R-values in the Set of Rules 24.13330.2011. Each random parameter is measured at least three times.
Results. The theory of analysis of the preliminary pile reliability in accordance with GOST 27751-2014 “Reliability of building structures and foundations” has been built on this statistical information. Reliability as the calculation result is represented by interval notation. The mathematical model of the limit state of the pile from the foundation soil bearing capacity has been borrowed from the Set of Rules. The connection (formula) between the length of the pile and the value of its reliability as a safety measure for its operation in the foundation soil has been established. Evaluation of the friction pile reliability corresponding to the characteristic value is carried out by calculation (trail-and-error method) from the mechanical properties of the soil and the load on the pile with the indication of the value of the length of the pile or the sum of the soil layers, each of the values in this case shall be not more than 2 m. The reliability analysis is described in the case studies set out in the article.
Conclusions. Pile reliability analysis is based on the actual information about the pile operation in the foundation soil according to the current regulations of the Russian Federation, so the proposed method of the friction pile reliability analysis can be transferred into practice. It can also be used in the reliability calculation for other load-bearing elements, in the regulatory literature, and in the academic work of construction universities.
Task-specific variables influence preschool children's faithful versus selective imitation
Authors: Wang Zhidan , Bu Mengjin , Li Yuwen , Wang Haijing
Published: February 2019

We investigated whether task-specific variables modulate children's imitation to be selective or faithful. An adult performed four actions to retrieve a toy from a house in two contexts, after which children were given the opportunity to copy the adult's actions. In the window and door
context, the children could only retrieve the toy at the end. In the two doors context, the children were given the opportunity to retrieve the toy midway through the task or continue and retrieve it at the end. The results indicated that not only were the children more likely to reproduce
the modeled actions in the window and door context than in the two doors context, but they were also more likely to reproduce the sequence of the actions. Our research adds to a growing body of literature indicating that children's imitation is guided by a rational evaluation of task-specific
variables and confirming that imitation is a source of learning, but it is not fixed, automatic, and stereotyped.
Change in newcomers' job satisfaction: Met-expectations effect as a moderator
Authors: Ok Chiho , Park Jisung
Published: February 2019

We explored the direct relationship between newcomers' organizational tenure and job satisfaction while controlling for the age effect. We also investigated the moderating role of the gap between preentry expectations and postentry experience (the met-expectations hypothesis effect).
Longitudinal research involving 1,150 individuals in 2,693 observations in South Korea showed that newcomers' organizational tenure was negatively related to their job satisfaction. In addition, this negative association was more pronounced in the case of newcomers with a wide intrinsic motivational
gap between preentry expectations and postentry experience. The findings suggest that in order to enhance newcomers' job satisfaction, managers should consider their preentry expectations related to intrinsic motivation and fulfillment of such expectations in their current job and position.

Published: February 2019

We investigated the influence of a revised marketing mix model that included the factors of human service, cost, communication, and convenience of facility on expected and experienced satisfaction of 227 users of various martial arts centers in Korea. By employing descriptive statistics
and multiple regression analyses, the following findings resulted. First, expected satisfaction scored slightly higher than experienced satisfaction. Second, human service and communication positively influenced expected satisfaction. Third, human service and convenience of facility positively
affected experienced satisfaction. In terms of the effect of the factors of the marketing mix on both expected and experienced satisfaction, human service was identified as a significant factor influencing sports consumer behavior. Our findings highlight the importance of human service in
areas that demand direct relationships between service users and providers.
Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Perceived Responses to Capitalization Attempts Scale
Authors: Guo Wenjing , Lin Zhe , Cheng Nian , Liu Xiangping
Published: February 2019

Capitalization is an interpersonal process where one shares personal positive events with others and receives benefits beyond that event's effect. The response a capitalizer perceives from the recipient determines the success of this process. The Perceived Responses to Capitalization
Attempts Scale (PRCAS) is an English-language measure used to assess a capitalizer's perception of a recipient's responses. We tested the factor structure, internal consistency reliability, and concurrent validity of the Chinese version of the PRCAS with a sample of 1,213 Chinese college students.
Factor analyses replicated the 4-factor model of active–constructive response, passive–constructive response, active–destructive response, and passive–destructive response. All subscales possessed satisfactory internal consistency and evidence for concurrent validity
with measures of feeling, flourishing, self-esteem, and mental health symptoms. We also assessed the test–retest stability of the PRCAS with a separate sample of 119 Chinese college students, and found that the subscales possessed low test–retest reliability. Therefore, the Chinese
PRCAS possessed acceptable psychometric properties.
Gamers' Ego Identity Influences Referral Program Involvement
Authors: Lee Chia-Wen , Cheng Shih-Hung , Ma Genmiao , Li Ching
Published: February 2019

We explored the relationship between referral program involvement and the ego identity of online gamers. We recruited 429 participants who had used the World of Warcraft referral program to recruit a friend. The results revealed significant relationships between referral program involvement
and ego identity, and three canonical factors were extracted. The first canonical correlation analysis revealed that higher overall referral program involvement is more likely to catch the attention of online gamers with ego identities that are aimless, disobedient, unsociable, or paranoid.
The second canonical correlation analysis suggested that referral program involvement is positively associated with the ego identity factors of being self-willed or paranoid, and negatively associated with those of being aimless, multi-exploring, and having gender identity issues. The third
canonical factor showed that those respondents with referral program involvement for exciting, fascinating, and appealing factors are positively associated with ego identity characteristics of liking challenges, being self-willed, and having gender identity issues.
Using an Eye Tracker to Measure Information Processing According to Need for Cognition Level
Authors: Wu Di , Gao Yuntao , Miao Danmin
Published: February 2019

The need for cognition (NC) refers to the tendency for people to vary in the extent to which they engage in, and enjoy, cognitively effortful activities. However, few studies on NC have been conducted to investigate cognitive processes by using eye-tracking technology. Thus, we measured
differences in eye movement between individuals high versus low in NC. We presented 43 undergraduates with persuasive messages on postponed retirement. Meanwhile, their eye movements were recorded using eye-tracking technology. Additionally, participants completed measures of attitude and
recall of arguments. Our findings showed that participants high in NC recalled more arguments but did not form more favorable attitudes than did those low in NC. Furthermore, compared to those low in NC, those with high NC recorded longer eye fixation duration, more fixations, slower reading
speed, and shorter saccade (movement) lengths. Finally, there were no differences between the two groups concerning the distribution (short, medium, and long fixations) and the proportion of regressions. Eye-tracking technology contributes to further understanding of characteristics of individuals
high versus low in NC during reading.
Solving interpersonal problems when fatigued: The beneficial effect of positive mood
Authors: Nelson Donna Webster
Published: February 2019

I examined factors that inhibit and augment effective problem solving in social contexts. I tested the joint effect of mental fatigue and mood on interpersonal problem solving. Utilizing scenario-based tests, I found that individuals experiencing high (vs. low) mental fatigue generated
less effective solutions to social problems, and identified fewer relevant steps to solve these problems. I also found that the experience of positive emotion served to counteract these fatigue-induced deficits, bolstering mental resources needed for productive social problem solving. My results
also have practical relevance, as the extent to which individuals can generate effective strategies to overcome interpersonal problems has far-reaching consequences with respect to personal adjustment and the ability to enact socially skilled behavior.

Barnes’ influence on John Dewey’s Aesthetics: a preliminary approach
Authors: Campeotto Fabio , Viale Claudio Marcelo
Published: February 2019

No interior do pensamento de Dewey, a gênese da estética merece mais atenção do que lhe é dada na literatura. Um aspecto, em especial, tem sido virtualmente negligenciado — com as notáveis exceções de Robins 2015, Ueno 2016, Hein 2017 e Granger 2018a e 2018b — a saber, os vínculos com Albert Coombs Barnes. Nossa hipótese é que Barnes desempenhou um papel relevante na “virada estética” da filosofia madura de Dewey. Neste artigo, nós tomamos um primeiro passo rumo ao esclarecimento da relação entre eles e uma tentativa de mostrar a influência do colecionador de arte na obra do filósofo.
A Peircean perspective on human voice: the semiotic nonagon of the uses of voice
Authors: Llobet Vallejos Juan Pablo , Stocco Pablo Antonio
Published: February 2019

La voz humana es un fenómeno ampliamente estudiado desde una gran variedad de disciplinas, desde las especialidades de la medicina hasta las artes. Aunque esta situación resulta enriquecedora, la multiplicidad de perspectivas ha conspirado contra la formulación de una concepción única de la voz y de un sistema lógico que pueda ayudar a entender los fenómenos asociados con ella en términos más generales, enfatizando continuidades y relaciones en lugar de requerir cada vez una definición del objeto de estudio de acuerdo con las herramientas conceptuales y las metodologías de cada disciplina. La semeiotica de Peirce ofrece una alternativa a esta fragmentación de los estudios de la voz, especialmente a través de su taxonomía de signos relacionada con las categorías faneroscópicas. El nonágono semiótico (Guerri, 2003, 2014 y 2016) es un modelo operativo que, adoptando la forma de un ícono diagramático, ayuda a aplicar las categorías peirceanas al análisis de conceptos, objetos o disciplinas en general. Con el nonágono semiótico como herramienta metodológica, este artículo ofrece una forma de analizar, describir y categorizar de acuerdo con criterios lógicos los múltiples usos de la voz humana. Se espera que las relaciones que revela entre usos radicalmente diferentes de la voz ayuden a reducir la redundancia entre disciplinas y a proveer nuevas direcciones para la investigación en otras áreas, así también como para cubrir potenciales necesidades pedagógicas y analíticas en las artes y otras disciplinas (i.e. lingüística, estudios culturales).
The place of biology and anthropology in Dewey’s ethical project
Authors: López Federico
Published: February 2019

O foco deste artigo consiste nos usos dos insights científico e evolucionário na ética de Dewey. Para começar, apresenta-se uma visão geral da ética de Dewey. Salienta-se que a posição dele na ética deve ser entendida como um projeto político que advoga para o uso do conhecimento científico ao lidar com os conflitos éticos e políticos. Por sua vez, esse ponto de vista baseia-se na tese da continuidade materialemetodológicaentre a ciência e a ética. A segunda parte trata da questão da abordagem de Dewey ao vínculo da ciência e da filosofia, em geral, e o valor da teoria da evolução e da antropologia à ética, em especial. Contrário a algumas interpretações atuais, argumenta-se que, segundo Dewey, a biologia e a teoria da evolução não possuem a única nem a palavra final sobre a ética, e que em sua opinião, a relevância da antropologia e das ciências sociais não deverão ser negligenciadas. Além disso, argumenta-se que a continuidade material entre a ciência e a ética destaca a importância de uma deliberação ética cientificamente informada quando os problemas éticos são enfrentados, enquanto a continuidade metodológica mostra como é possível atingir conclusões corretas na ética, mas também, a relevância que pode ser denominada de críticas genealógicasreferentes às crenças morais hereditárias.
Basic human needs as values: exploring John Dewey’s normative perspective on social philosophy
Authors: Mattarollo Livio
Published: February 2019

O projeto de John Dewey sobre a filosofia social não tem sido considerado como uma peça importante de seu pensamento. Entretanto, seus textos sobre esse tópico constituem um notável esforço para articular diversos novos conceitos e ideias, os quais não podem ser encontrados em outra parte de sua extensa obra filosófica. Inserida nesse contexto, a nova edição de suas “Palestras em filosofia política e social” – série de palestras que Dewey apresentou quando esteve na China – fornece um material único para revisar seu ponto de vista social. Levando-se em consideração que o pragmatista introduz uma “figura normativa” e que ele identifica um conjunto de necessidades humanas básicas de maneira a compreender plenamente esse critério normativo. Como hipótese, considero (i) que a filosofia social está principalmente associada com juízos práticos e (ii) que é plausível interpretar essas necessidades humanas básicas como valores. Para sustentar essas afirmações, primeiro, reconstruo a proposta de Dewey sobre um terceiro tipo de pensamento social. Segundo, examino sua posição sobre valores e normas. Terceiro, analiso a “figura normativa” e considero a “leitura antropológica” apresentada por Roberto Frega (2015). Por fim, ofereço uma análise complementar, argumentando que é possível explicar o padrão normativo de Dewey de maneira coerente com respeito aos propósitos do seu pensamento social – e, além disso, que é possível evitar qualquer compromisso essencialista.
Os Ambientes Virtuais como espaço para o desenvolvimento da autonomia sociocultural: uma (inter)relação possível
Authors: Matos Anderson Silva , Nicolaides Christine Siqueira
Published: February 2019

À luz de pressupostos acerca do desenvolvimento da autonomia na aprendizagem de línguas, que contemplem a teoria Sociocultural (VYGOTSKY, 1984) e observe ambientes virtuais como espaços semióticos sociais (GEE, 2004; GEE, 2005), o presente artigo analisou as relações possíveis entre a promoção da Autonomia Sociocultural do aprendiz e o uso de ambientes virtuais através da agência observada pelos membros desses ambientes. Este artigo propõe o uso de ambientes virtuais como um campo promissor para a promoção da autonomia sociocultural do aprendiz. Observamos o uso de ambientes virtuais e a relação desses com a participação dos alunos com o intuito de analisar a agência dos interactantes como usuários de tais ambientes. Os resultados indicam que os ambientes virtuais observados possibilitam maior engajamento no aprendizado e consciência por parte dos aprendizes como membros atuantes de um grupo de apoio mútuo com um objetivo em comum: desenvolver sua proficiência na língua alvo.
Tradução, linguística de corpus e sociologia da educação: intersecções e similitudes
Authors: Serpa Talita , Camargo Diva Cardoso de
Published: February 2019

No presente trabalho, procuramos desenhar uma possível articulação entre teorizações sociológico-pedagógicas e premissas dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução, dos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus e da Linguística de Corpus, a fim de incitar discussões a respeito de uma Pedagogia da Tradução Baseada em Corpus. Para tanto, trazemos à baila proposições da Sociologia da Educação acerca do ensino do habitus, o qual, no plano da Tradução, seria entendido como um padrão de disposições duráveis passíveis de serem apreendidas tendo por uma de suas bases a frequência de usos vocabulares e a verificação das estratégias reincidentes, entre diversos fatores. Nesse modelo em específico, procuramos, pois, associar um habitus ao uso de corpora e promover uma conduta profissional que atrela fatores culturais, sociais e linguísticos ao conjunto de saberes e competências do tradutor.
Mística da unidade, dimensões da espiritualidade ecumênica e da oração em comum entre todos os cristãos
Authors: Wolff Elias , Kossar Furtado Kevin Willian
Published: February 2019

O trabalho do movimento ecumênico pela unidade cristã possui uma dimensão que atua na sensibilidade para o restabelecimento da unidade: a espiritualidade ecumênica. O artigo trata dos elementos da mística da unidade e suas principais características: sua base trinitária, sua expressão como ato de fé, de conversão, de humildade e de sacrifício; das dimensões da espiritualidade ecumênica: a conversão, que se expressa na metanoia evangélica; o diálogo como tarefa de todos os cristãos; e o serviço orientado ao mundo e como testemunho à humanidade. Apresentam-se algumas iniciativas de oração em comum da história do cristianismo, o histórico da Semana de Oração pela Unidade Cristã (SOUC), as dimensões da prece em comum entre os cristãos na perspectiva de Paul Couturier: como prece universal, contemplativa e eficaz; e orientações sobre como viabilizar a oração em comum pela unidade.
A Encíclica Fides et Ratio: uma razão aberta ao transcendente para chegar à verdade a partir da filosofia do ser
Authors: Rampazzo Lino , Nahur Marcius Tadeu Maciel
Published: February 2019

Este estudo procura analisar o conteúdo da Encíclica Fides et Ratio, no vigésimo ano da sua publicação, ressaltando que, na discussão sobre o ser, está contida a própria questão da verdade, diferente da visão fragmentada de saber, típica da sociedade contemporânea, que leva ao ceticismo, ao relativismo e ao niilismo. Apresenta-se particularmente a figura de São Tomás de Aquino, que teve o mérito de colocar, em primeiro lugar, a harmonia que existe entre a razão e a fé, na valorização de ambas que, dialogando, podem se enriquecer reciprocamente. Ele reconheceu a importância de falar de uma verdade universal, objetiva e transcendente ao intelecto humano. Por isso, a filosofia tomasiana é chamada de filosofia do ser, e não do mero aparecer; e evita tanto o tradicionalismo, como o racionalismo
A Mulher Adúltera no Evangelho de João (Jo 7,53-8,11)
Authors: De Araújo Gilvan Leite
Published: February 2019

A narrativa da Mulher Adúltera no Quarto Evangelho é breve, elegante e bem elaborada. Os testemunhos mais antigos sobre o Quarto Evangelho não possuem esta narrativa, apesar de possuírem lacuna em seu lugar. Apesar da sua inclusão em períodos tardios, o seu conteúdo é, sem dúvida, primitivo. Aqui se deseja revisitar as questões relativas à origem e ao conteúdo da narrativa da Mulher Adúltera e propor novos caminhos de reflexão.
Asumispalvelukeskuksen iäkkäiden asukkaiden avun ja tuen tarpeet
Authors: Rossi Eeva
Published: February 2019

Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan asumispalvelukeskuksessa asuvien iäkkäiden henkilöiden avun ja tuen tarpeita sekä niiden määrittymistä asukkaiden ja tutkijasosiaalityöntekijän kohtaamisissa. Tutkimus paikantuu gerontologisen sosiaalityön näkökulmaan. Tutkimuksen aineistona on osallistuvan etnografian keinoin vuorovaikutustilanteista kerätyt yhdeksän äänitallennetta. Aineisto analysoitiin kehysanalyysillä. Asukkaiden avun ja tuen tarpeet jäsentyivät neljään vuorovaikutukselliseen kehykseen, jotka on nimetty toimintakyvyn, palvelujen ja talouden, sosiaalisen ympäristön sekä elämäkulun kehykseksi. Toimintakyvyn kehyksessä tarpeetliittyivät fyysisiin tarpeisiin, arjessa toimimiseen sekä osallistumiseen. Palvelujen ja talouden kehyksessä kyse oli palvelujärjestelmään liittyvän tiedon saamisesta sekä asukkaiden palvelujen ja taloudellisen tuen, oikeuksien ja mahdollisuuksien varmistamisesta. Sosiaalisen ympäristön kehyksessä asukkaiden tarpeet kohdistuivat sosiaalisista suhteista luottamukselliseen keskustelemiseen ja yhteiseen jäsentämiseen. Elämänkulun kehyksessä kyse oli asukkaiden elämäntarinoista sekä elämänkulun muutoksista keskustelusta. Asumispalvelukeskuksen iäkkäiden asukkaiden tarpeisiin vastataan hoivan, hoidon ja asumisen palveluin, mutta ei vain niillä. Tutkimuksen tulokset korostavat sitä, että gerontologisella sosiaalityöllä vastataan asukkaan ja hänen ympäristönsä välisiin suhteisiin liittyviin tarpeisiin, mutta myös psykososiaalisen ja emotionaalisen tuen tarpeisiin.

Published: February 2019

Due to concerns over the world’s energy necessity and environmental impact of mineral oil, these conditions induce many researchers to search for substitute sources for insulating oil. Alternatives insulating oil with biodegradable characteristics, environment friendly and presented in different countries including Bangladesh such as vegetable oils have been proposed for high voltage applications. In this paper, a relative measurement of breakdown voltage through experimental investigation of coconut, mustard, soybean, and palm oil and their blend (which is available in Bangladesh and cost effective) is presented. Break down voltage was measure with different electrode configuration by changing gap distance. The results show that the blend of (50% coconut oil + 50% palm oil) got high breakdown voltage in mushroom-mushroom electrode, and other side in plane-plane type pure soybean oil got high breakdown voltage, compared with transformer oil. The presented result illustrate that the proposed mixed oil provides better performance than the rise husk oil.

Published: February 2019

In Vietnam, although quite modest, but since 1998, there have been investments in nanotechnology research. To date, many research results of nanotechnology application have been published in theory and experiment. Along with research units, the business sector also boldly applied nanotechnology in production. In this paper, the authors mention research, application, testing of fuel saving measures and emission reductions on diesel engines. It focuses on measures to improve fuel efficiency (including the use of emulsified fuels and the use of fuels containing nano-technology additives and especially the combination of the above two types) to test Control combustion in the direction of increasing capacity, saving fuel and reducing emissions. This measure has the same advantages as: it can be used on circulating engines without interfering with engine "hardware". The results contribute to the construction of technologies to produce renewable fuels from agricultural waste, to participate in solving national energy security and environmental pollution caused by agricultural wastes. The research results confirmed that rapid pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation are advanced and feasible technologies for converting agricultural waste biomass into liquid fuel.
