The use ofanywith factive predicates
Authors: Duffley Patrick , Larrivée Pierre
Published: January 2019

While Negative Polarity Items are generally ungrammatical in veridical environments (*I said anything), they are known to be found in factive environments that involve veridicality (I regret you said anything). There is however disagreement in the literature about the types of factive environments in whichanyis found. This paper proposes the first systematic large-scale survey of the use ofanywith factive predicates. Based on corpora totaling nearly 5 billion words, the paper establishes the relative frequency ofanylicensed by the different factive predicates (epistemic factives, as well positive, negative and counterexpectative emotives). Negative emotive factives (e.g.regret) were found to licenseany1.8 times more frequently than counterexpectative factives (be amazed), which licenseany25.8 times more than do positive emotives (be glad). Emotive factives are associated with counterfactual preferences and expectations that make available a negative reading that licensesany. The examination of the data does not support a rescuing analysis that separates these occurrences ofanyfrom other licensed uses. On the contrary, the data show thatanyis licensed by at-issue meaning, as proposed by (Horn, Laurence. 2016. Licensing NPIs: Some negative (and positive) results. In Pierre Larrivée & Chungmin Lee (eds.),Negation and polarity. Experimental and cognitive perspectives, 281–305. Dordrecht: Springer.).

Published: January 2019

Giant pseudocyst is a very rare complication after incisional hernia repair with mesh. We present a case of 54-year-old male patient with a giant pseudocyst, which developed after incisional hernia repair with mesh. A patient was discussed during multidisciplinary team meeting and operative treatment was suggested to the patient. Extirpation of the cyst was accomplished. There was observed no defect in the abdominal wall. The patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day. Ultrasonography two weeks after discharge again showed fluid collection. There were 6 aspirations every week starting from 400 ml serous fluid at the beginning and 60 ml at the end. There were no signs of fluid collection one month after the last aspiration. Surgical plastic treatment of giant pseudocyst after incisional hernia mesh repair is safe and feasible despite its low prevalence.

Published: January 2019

The present chapter will illustrate few examples of multi-technique and multi-scale approaches for objects belonging to past or modern periods in the history of art chronology. Thus, four studies on four different topics are brought to the attention: multi disciplinary and multi-techniques characterization of gilded altarpieces and sculptures in Portugal between 1500 and 1800 (3 years research project); an interdisciplinary approach to easel paintings from fifteenth and sixteenth century in Portugal (3 years research project); characterization of ketone resins varnishes (2 years research project) and of salts developed on canvas paintings from the Munch Museum collection (past investigation to be continued with an ongong 3 years research project). These studies show how important is to make use of different analytical tools when investigating a specific material, artistic technique or degradation phenomenon. The objects studied in the above mentioned research projects were created on wooden or canvas supports and they present paint, polichromy or gilded layers, and varnish coatings, therefore their structure and composition is complex and requires a complex, interdisciplinary approach. In many cases to the surface materials from a polychrome or painted object, degradation products are present and their identification as well the understanding of their mechanism of formation is possible only we have a complete overview of the materials present in the layered structure of the object.
Investigation of Drug-Packaging Interactions with Mass Spectroscopy Detectors: A Meta-Synthesis of the Literature
Authors: Fauchere Camille , Berger-Gryllaki Markoulina , Sadeghipour Farshid
Published: January 2019

Background

The production of hospital-compounded medicines with a longer shelf life raises questions about drug-packaging interactions, especially desorption events involving extractables and leachables (E/L). A meta-synthesis of the literature was performed to describe which mass spectrometer is suitable for identifying and quantifying E/L.

Methods

A meta-synthesis of studies focused on the identification or quantification of E/L published between January 1997 and December 2017 was performed. Inclusion criteria were E/L studies dealing with pharmaceutical products, in which mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC) was used. The full-text articles had to be available and written in English. Articles about food packaging, environmental contamination, counterfeit compounds, pharmacokinetics, or process-related impurity studies were excluded. Two researchers independently assessed the papers according to a score based on a seven-item questionnaire.

Results

In total, 32 papers matched our criteria and were included in the meta-synthesis. For qualitative analysis with LC, quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF; n=4) and ion trap (n=4) mass detectors were used the most; and with GC, single quadrupole (n=8). For quantification studies with LC, QTOF (n=3) and triple quadrupole (n=2) were used the most; and with GC, single quadrupole (n=7).

Conclusions

For simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of E/L with LC, QTOF or Orbitrap is a suitable detector. For quantitative analysis with LC only, triple quadrupole is suitable. For qualitative and quantitative analysis with GC, single quadrupole can be used.

Experiments were performed to evaluate production of 72Se, parent radionuclide of the positron emitter 72As, at high energy at the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). Excitation functions for 75As(p, xn)72/75Se in the 52-105 MeV energy range were measured by irradiating thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers. Maximum cross section value for the natAs(p, 4n)72Se reaction in the energy range was 103±9 mb at 52±1 MeV. Production size GaAs and arsenic metal (As°) targets were irradiated with 136 μA and 165 μA beam current possessing an initial Linac energy of 117 MeV. A total of 3.77±0.1 GBq (102±3 mCi) of 72Se was produced from a GaAs target at a calculated target entrance energy of 105.4 MeV, and 13.8±0.3 GBq (373±8 mCi) of 72Se from an As° target at a calculated incident energy of 49.5 MeV irradiated for 116.5 h and 68.9 h, respectively.
Robust Schemes Based on the Method of Lines for Shock Capturing
Authors: Mousa Mohamed M.
Published: January 2019

In this paper, the solution of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law problems containing strong shock waves is presented using the method of lines. A difficulty with the method of lines, as with many other classical shock-capturing methods, is the threat of unphysical numerical oscillations, which can be avoided by adding an artificial viscosity term. Two schemes of the method of lines for solving the described problems have been proposed. Extensive numerical examples in both scalar and system test problems demonstrate the efficiency, robustness, and ease of implementation of the proposed schemes.
An Artificial Intelligence Model for Computing Optimum Fly Ash Content for Structural-Grade Concrete
Authors: Chandra Paul Suvash , Panda Biranchi , Zhu Hong-Hu , Garg Ankit
Published: January 2019

Recent research has led to a point where a substantial number of industrial by-products with pozzolanic behavior can be used along with ordinary portland cement (OPC) without compromising the desired mechanical and durability properties. Literature reveals that fly ash, which is typically processed by burning ground coal in power plants, can easily replace up to 30–40 % of OPC, depending on its amorphous reactivity content, particle size, and loss on ignition content. The aim of this article is to determine the optimum amount of fly ash to be used as a critical factor for structural-grade concrete. A computational mathematical model is formulated using an artificial intelligence (AI) approach, such as an automated neural network search (ANS) modeling to explore the influence of mix designs on concrete compressive strength at 28 days. A total of 69 mixes were selected for formulation of the ANS model so that it could have decent precision, accuracy, and robust computing. The formulated computational ANS model was able to capture the complex relationship between compressive strength and different mix design parameters. Among all, percentage of fly ash was found to have the highest impact on 28-day strength development in high-volume fly ash concrete. The developed AI-based ANS model can be useful to researchers to accurately predict the mix design components for a structural-grade concrete. It can also be further improved by optimizing parameter setting in the network algorithm.
Forming Limit Diagram Prediction of AISI 304–St 12 Tailor Welded Blanks Using GTN Damage Model
Authors: Safdarian Rasoul
Published: January 2019

Because of weight and manufacturing cost decrease, tailor welded blanks (TWBs) have great usage in different industries such as the automotive and aircraft industries. Despite the wide use of TWBs in various industries, there are some drawbacks in the formability of these blanks. Using a forming limit diagram (FLD) enables one to prevent necking and fracture of these blanks by correct selection of forming parameters. There are different numerical methods to predict the FLD of sheet metals, but the Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) model is a useful ductile fracture model in this field. In this study, the GTN model was used for FLD prediction of AISI 304–St 12 TWBs. An anti-inference method and a numerical simulation of the tensile test by ABAQUS software (Dassault Systèmes, Vélizy-Villacoublay, France) were firstly used for GTN parameter identification of AISI 304 and St 12 blanks. Proper parameters of the GTN model were imported to the numerical tests of FLD, which was done based on the Nakazima standard test. In the experimental part of this study, carbon dioxide laser welding was used for TWBs welding, which consists of AISI 304 and St 12 blanks with equal thicknesses of 1 mm. The numerical results were compared for FLD prediction, punch’s load-displacement curve, and the fracture position of samples with experimental ones. The results showed that there was a good agreement between the numerical prediction and the experimental results.

The discourse of information warfare, challenges posed by adverse propaganda and political declarations about the need to protect the society from misleading information all create favorable conditions for new research on brainwashing. This article examines the new wave of studies on brainwashing, which emerged at the turn of the 21st century. An analysis of the historical context of brainwashing encourages the investigation of competitive concepts and reminds us of the negative scientific attitude toward brainwashing from the moment of its inception. The concept of brainwashing is examined as a mature conspiracy theory, which functions on three levels: the primary (or spontaneous), elite initiated (or official) and secondary (or mirror) levels. The principle aim of this article is to reveal the reasons behind the communicative vitality of brainwashing and to disclose the risks posed to democracy, which are created with the misuse of conspiracy theories and similar concepts.
Authenticity and Provenance in Long-Term Digital Preservation: Analysis of the Scope of Content
Authors: Varnienė-Janssen Regina , Kuprienė Jūratė
Published: January 2019

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

Authenticity is a fundamental issue for the long-term preservation of digital objects; however, the validation of authenticity is a complex task – it requires the representation of provenance as a precondition for trust. For that matter, it is crucial to define the key conceptual elements that provide the foundation for such a complex framework. The main objective of this paper is to define how authenticity has to be managed in the digital preservation process: to identify the semantic units needed to support core preservation functions in order to ensure the trustworthiness of digital objects and ensure interoperability – i.e., the ability to exchange data between institutions. This paper presents results from the first stage of the research: the scope of authenticity and provenance content needed to support core preservation functions and ensure interoperability – the ability to exchange data between institutions and assess the added value of the Europeana and VEPIS regarding authenticity and provenance based on the adequacy of analyzed international models for authenticity and provenance.Methodology: by applying the EU 2–3–6 concept of added value for electronic publishing and qualitative content analysis of research literature, we conceptualized the Content Creation Process, which refers to the structure and meaning of authenticity and provenance. This approach enabled us to identify the scope of the content of authenticity and provenance.
The Impact of Financial Development on Investment: A Review of International Literature
Authors: Muyambiri Brian , Odhiambo Nicholas M.
Published: January 2019

[full article and abstract in English]

This article summarises the empirical literature on the impact of financial development on investment. It presents a topical analysis of empirical research that focuses mainly on the interaction between financial development and investment, determinants and measurement of both financial development and investment, and empirical findings on the relationship between the two variables under discussion. The study concludes that most of the research done on the relationship between financial development and investment is highly skewed towards assessing the relationship using mostly bank-based financial development indicators, as compared to the market-based financial development indicators. Given the number of studies assessed, the impact of financial development on investment appears to be inconclusive, at best. Moreover, the study shows that the relationship between these two macroeconomic variables seems to differ from country to country; it is dependent on the proxies used to measure the level of financial development, as well as the methodology employed.
The psychometric properties of the Test for Creative Thinking (TCT-DP) in a sample of 8–10-year-old Lithuanian children

Published: January 2019

This article analyzes whether the Drawing Test for Creative Thinking (TCT-DP) can be applied as a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of the creative potential of 8–10-year-old Lithuanian children. Currently in Lithuania, there is no such test for this particular age. Empirical and theoretical research shows that the developmental pace and structure of creative potential among children of primary school age may be specific (Urban, 1991; Rudowicz, 2004; Lubart et al., 2010; Ju et al., 2015; Jastrzębska & Limont, 2017; Welter et al., 2017). The study consisted of 497 primary pupils across grades 2–4. The quota sample was based on the criteria of a child’s age, gender, and school location. All children are assessed by A and B forms of TCT-DP; the Wechsler’s Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IIILT) was administered to 63 randomly selected children for the purpose of verifying discriminant validity. The SPSS Statistics 25 software package was used for data analysis. The results revealed a significant difference in the creative potential among children of age 8 and age 10; the results for girls and boys were similar. The evaluation of several types of reliability had shown good or excellent inter-rater reliability, the accuracy of the categories rating system, minimally sufficient stability of the aggregate score of A and B forms, and an inadequate internal consistency of these forms. Both A and B forms equally well differentiated the level of children’s creativity. The TCT-DP construct validity

was confirmed by the stable increase of performance of 8-year-olds, 9-year-olds and 10-year-olds. Exploratory factor analysis has highlighted that the creative potential of children aged 8–10 years is best described by three factors – Originality, Adaptability and Risk taking. That generally consists with the findings of other researchers (Rudowicz, 2004; Lubart et al., 2010) that emphasize originality, nonconventionality

on the one hand, and adaptation to the requirements on the other hand. However, it is difficult to consistently match these results with the original data on TCT-DP, as Urban and Jellen (1995) performed a factor analysis in a joint sample of 4–16-year-old children. Low correlations with the WISC-IIILT results confirm the discriminant validity of TCT-DP.

Violencia política y disciplinamiento social durante la última dictadura militar argentina. Modalidades represivas en Bahía Blanca, Argentina (1976-1977)
Authors: Montero María Lorena
Published: January 2019

Desde una perspectiva que reconoce las articulaciones locales de procesos que tuvieron alcance nacional, este artículo analiza las características que asumieron las modalidades represivas en una subdivisión del V Cuerpo de Ejército, que durante la última dictadura militar argentina tenía asiento en la ciudad de Bahía Blanca (Argentina). Para abordar las prácticas represivas dominantes en la Subzona 51 se distinguirán espacios punitivos, niveles de violencia registrados y formas de articulación entre dimensiones legales e ilegales y secretas y visibles de la represión a escala local. Dicho análisis permite reconstruir un mapa represivo complejo cuyos puntos nodales estaban configurados por los Centros Clandestinos de Detención y Exterminio, lugares transitorios de encierro y tortura, ámbitos de blanqueamiento y dependencias castrenses en general. Esos espacios no sólo estaban unidos entre sí, sino que formaban parte de una trama que incluía a las fuerzas represivas que actuaban en las calles de la ciudad y en instituciones específicas como las dependientes del Servicio Penitenciario Bonaerense. El heterogéneo corpus de esta investigación (integrado por registros burocráticos de las agencias estatales, memorias de los represaliados y artículos periodísticos) será abordado a partir de la integración de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos.

Published: January 2019

Este artículo examina la violencia ejercida sobre la sociedad mapuche, en el contexto de su incorporación forzada al Estado en Chile durante el siglo XX. Mediante el análisis de fuentes de archivo y desde la historia oral, se reconstruyen los efectos del colonialismo republicano en la pérdida de la soberanía política y territorial mapuche; así como los procesos de minorización, obliteración, destierro y persecución del mapuchezugun (idioma) y mapuche kimün (conocimiento mapuche), como consecuencia de la subordinación racial y la interacción de diferentes generaciones en lo que conceptualizamos como “espacios de civilización”.
La Matrícula de Mar en los virreinatos americanos y en Cartagena de Indias. La disputa de su instauración a finales del siglo XVIII
Authors: Suárez Sánchez Fernando
Published: January 2019

Este artículo, basado en una revisión de documentos en varios archivos, explora el proceso de instauración del sistema de reclutamiento naval llamado Matrícula de Mar en América y, particularmente, en Cartagena de Indias. A su vez, examina la disputa en torno a su instauración, principalmente desde las críticas de dos jurisconsultos neogranadinos: Felipe Vergara y José Ignacio de Pombo, quienes, a partir de argumentos basados en la defensa del derecho de los milicianos a las industrias marítimas y de la libertad económica, ayudaron a la reducción de las competencias de dicha institución. En esta medida, este artículo termina por explorar el problema de la obligatoriedad del servicio naval como un problema para la concepción moderna de la libertad.
Representación de la guerra civil española por la prensa escrita arequipeña (1936 -1939)
Authors: Nalvarte Lozada Juan Carlos
Published: January 2019

A través de la revisión y análisis de cuatro diarios (El Deber, El Pueblo, El Sur, Noticias), este artículo aborda la representación de la Guerra Civil Española en la prensa de la ciudad de Arequipa a inicios del siglo XX. El análisis plantea cómo este acontecimiento de resonancia mundial generó contradicciones entre bandos muy marcados, que representaban visiones del mundo enfrentadas; y que a la vez hicieron eco a divisiones internas en la sociedad arequipeña. En las siguientes páginas confrontaremos las diversas perspectivas sobre estos antagonismos, articulados en diversos temas como el comunismo y fascismo; identidad nacional e influencias extranjeras; Iglesia y anticlericales; progreso y atraso; y democracia y dictadura. Esto permitirá documentar la recepción de un acontecimiento clave de la historia contemporánea en el espacio latinoamericano, lo que adicionalmente conlleva una reflexión metodológica sobre el impacto de un acontecimiento internacional en un ámbito local. Así se articulan dos escalas que rara vez se juntan: Europa y pequeñas sociedades latinoamericanas que ven su debate influido por acontecimientos que en esta ocurren.
Rebeldías y resistencias esclavas en la historiografía sobre Cuba, siglo XIX
Authors: Sánchez Cobos Amparo
Published: January 2019

Las rebeldías y resistencias esclavas se dieron desde el mismo momento en que llegaron al hemisferio Occidental. En determinados contextos cobraron una mayor presencia. Este texto revisa los autores que analizan la cuestión para la Cuba del siglo XIX, cuando la entrada de esclavos en la isla fue mayor y sus expresiones de resistencia en contra de su situación crecieron con ellos. Para ello tiene en cuenta tres corrientes historiográficas que sobresalen desde las décadas finales del siglo XX y los aspectos que cada una destaca: desde las rebeldías protagonizadas por los cimarrones, hasta las resistencias culturales, pasando por aquellos esclavos, que usaron los recursos legales, o los que ofrecieron una resistencia velada en el día a día.
El sueño de la “Nación católica”: el golpe de Estado de 1943 y la Iglesia argentina. Una mirada desde el obispado de Leopoldo Buteler (Río Cuarto, 1943-1946)
Authors: Camaño Semprini Rebeca Raquel
Published: January 2019

El golpe de Estado de 1943 fue recibido con beneplácito por la Iglesia argentina, pues implicó la posibilidad de implementar el proyecto de “Nación católica” impulsado desde la década anterior. En la provincia de Córdoba vino a poner fin, además, a una experiencia política caracterizada por un perfil laicista y respetuoso de la libertades públicas, incluso del comunismo. En el presente artículo analizamos las relaciones entre el obispado de Río Cuarto (que abarcaba la mitad meridional de la provincia e incluía la segunda ciudad cordobesa en importancia poblacional, política y económica) y las autoridades militares que dirigieron los destinos de la provincia entre 1943 y 1946. El propósito es demostrar, a través de una reducción de la escala de análisis, cómo durante estos años se produjo una simbiosis entre Iglesia y Ejército en la construcción de un proyecto político estructurado en torno a la identidad católica. Para ello recurrimos a una metodología cualitativa, basada fundamentalmente en el análisis tanto de periódicos locales y  provinciales de la época como de fuentes internas a la institución eclesiástica.
El “mecanismo de la naturaleza” en la filosofía de I. Kant. Una clave para entender la inexplicabilidad mecánica de los seres orgánicos
Authors: Terra Polanco María Constanza
Published: January 2019

Se busca precisar dos sentidos de mecanismo en Kant, a saber, el “mecanismo de la naturaleza” como sinónimo de la causalidad natural y el concepto de mecanismo que se desprende de la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar, para iluminar lo que este autor entiende por “explicación mecánica” en el juicio teleológico. Eso permite entender por qué los seres orgánicos son inexplicables mecánicamente y, de esta manera, justificar la necesidad de los juicios teleológicos sobre la naturaleza.
El universo espiritual humano en los textos de José Martí de La opinión nacional

Ante la urgencia de atender a los problemas cuya solución no es solo material, el universo espiritual humano se presenta como una categoría central. Al conjugar lo racional y lo afectivo, se delimita su esencia, asimismo se despliega una reflexión teórica y se revela su presencia en el pensamiento de José Martí. Se estudian sus es- critos de 1881-1882 en el diario caraqueño La Opinión Nacional, hasta ahora poco analizados, para mostrar la relación dialéctica en la visión unitaria e integradora, así como sus consideraciones sobre el universo espiritual humano.

Effect of nutrient omission in the development of sunflower BRS-122 in greenhouse conditions
Authors: Alves Allan Nunes , Souza Felipe Guedes de , Chaves Lucia Helena Garofalo , Sousa Jorge Alves de , Vasconcelos Ana Carolina Feitosa de
Published: January 2019

Sunﬂower (Helianthus annuus L.) is responsible for 13% of all vegetable oil produced in the world. These plants’ development depends on the mineral elements that have essential and specific functions in their metabolism. In this sense, visual diagnosis consists of comparing the appearance of a plant that has received all the necessary nutrients with one that has suffered the omission of one or more nutrients. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the absence effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S) and iron (Fe) elements on the growth of sunﬂower, BRS-122 cultivar, in order to identify and describe the visual symptoms caused by the absence of such nutrients. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse and consisted in a completely randomized design with three replications and eight treatments using a diagnostic subtraction technique. The symptoms of the deficiencies were observed and evaluated through biometric parameters (plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and leaf area) as well as by visual aspects. The absence of N, P, K, Ca and Fe in the nutrient solution severely affected the sunﬂower plants, preventing their vegetative growth and consequently their development. The negative interference of the Mg omission in sunﬂower growth was slower than the observed for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium giving more significant results from 40 days after sowing (DAS). The absence of nutrients gave clear evidence of the distinct effects that the omission of each element can cause on the visual aspects of sunﬂower plants.

En el presente artículo pretendemos presentar alternativas en la subsistencia adoptada por poblaciones rurales en la región Noroeste de la República Argentina (NOA), a partir de un abordaje que articula cuestiones de economía, política, tecnología así como algunos aspectos rituales y simbólicos. En un contexto marcado por siete mil millones de habitantes en el planeta Tierra, la energía se vuelve fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible al estar estrechamente vinculada a la seguridad alimentaria y a la erradicación de la pobreza, entre otras cuestiones.En este marco, Latinoamérica y en particular Argentina, se inserta en el mundo como generadora y exportadora principalmente de materias primas, posicionándose en una suerte de dependencia de los países centrales a nivel mundial. Frente a este contexto, planteamos en este espacio la enorme posibilidad que poseen nuestros países de desarrollar proyectos científicos y tecnológicos con miras a la inclusión social en sectores estratégicos ligados a la explotación del suelo, así como al uso y conservación de los recursos naturales aprovechando y ponderando los saberes y costumbres de las comunidades locales para las posibilidades de trabajo, situación que escapa a la racionalidad el modelo capitalista actual.

Self-reported addiction to pornography in a nationally representative sample: The roles of use habits, religiousness, and moral incongruence
Authors: Grubbs Joshua B. , Kraus Shane W. , Perry Samuel L.
Published: January 2019

Background and aims

Despite controversies regarding its existence as a legitimate mental health condition, self-reports of pornography addiction seem to occur regularly. In the United States, prior works using various sampling techniques, such as undergraduate samples and online convenience samples, have consistently demonstrated that some pornography users report feeling dysregulated or out of control in their use. Even so, there has been very little work in US nationally representative samples to examine self-reported pornography addiction.

Methods

This study sought to examine self-reported pornography addiction in a US nationally representative sample of adult Internet users (N = 2,075).

Results

The results indicated that most participants had viewed pornography within their lifetimes (n = 1,461), with just over half reporting some use in the past year (n = 1,056). Moreover, roughly 11% of men and 3% of women reported some agreement with the statement “I am addicted to pornography.” Across all participants, such feelings were most strongly associated with male gender, younger age, greater religiousness, greater moral incongruence regarding pornography use, and greater use of pornography.

Discussion and conclusion

Collectively, these findings are consistent with prior works that have noted that self-reported pornography addiction is a complex phenomenon that is predicted by both objective behavior and subjective moral evaluations of that behavior.

Published: January 2019

English is one of the basic general subjects that students must study in higher education. Outside the general basic courses, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of the Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University Bandung held an English language practicum program for 4th semester students. During a period of 4 years, the implementation of the English practicum seemed to be ineffective. This can be seen from the percentage of the attendance of students who actively participate in practicum, only 20% of the total 40 students in the group. The design of this study uses quantitative research with a pre-experimental approach. The final results of this study indicate that of the five components of the English practicum the objectives, methods, materials, time and facilities and infrastructure showed ineffective results.

Published: January 2019

The publication of the Common Euro- pean Framework of Reference for Languages, in the year 2001, brought about a new methodological concept, known as the action-oriented approach, which has spread widely among practically all the participants involved in second language acquisition (from researchers and teachers to trainers, learners included). In 2017, 16 years af- ter its publication, the Council of Europe publis- hed the Companion Volume with New Descriptors. Some new aspects have been further reformu- lated following the practitioners’ demand; espe- cially those connected with the development of descriptors showing original illustrative scales and with the de nition of some key principles found in the original 2001 document.There was also a substantial reconsideration of the most appropriate methodology for second langua- ge teaching, among other points. In light of the antecedents of the action-oriented approach and the opinions both for and against its singularity, the present paper analyses the de nition and the fundamentals that this new document provides about this framework.This paper intends to co- rroborate its similarity with other approaches as we suggested in a previous paper– or, on the contrary, its originality and differentiating status.
A deutsche Nation e a razão tupiniquim: o pensamento vivo diante do conceito estéril
Authors: Garcia Luis Fellipe
Published: January 2019

Resumo: Este artigo é um exercício de leitura comparada dos textos Reden an die deutsche Nation, publicado por Johann Gottlieb Fichte, em Berlim, em 1808, e Crítica da razão tupiniquim, publicado por Roberto Gomes, em São Paulo, em 1977. Se, à primeira vista, os dois universos de discurso parecem tão distantes que dificilmente se vê o que os aproxima, parece haver contudo uma flama comum que os anima, na medida em que ambos buscam evitar o aprisionamento do espírito local nos grilhões de um universo simbólico que não é o seu. O objetivo deste estudo é explorar cada uma das obras, em seus respectivos contextos, a fim de delinear os aspectos dessa chama comum que as motiva; após a confrontação dos dois textos, far-se-á, como conclusão, um breve esboço dos possíveis ganhos dessa abordagem comparativa.

Microcefalia e dinâmica familiar: a percepção do pai frente à deficiência do filho
Authors: Félix Vanessa Pereira da Silva Rodrigues , Farias Aponira Maria de
Published: January 2019

Resumo: A família é um dos pilares da vida psicológica dos indivíduos, influenciando os padrões de comportamento, o sentimento de pertencimento social e a saúde psíquica. Tal estrutura pode ser abalada quando há um membro com microcefalia associada ao Zika vírus, que ocorre quando o menino apresenta perímetro cefálico igual ou inferior a 31,9cm, e a menina, igual ou inferior a 31,5cm. Esta pesquisa visa analisar o impacto do diagnóstico de microcefalia do bebê na função paterna. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas com cinco pais de crianças com microcefalia em três municípios do interior da Paraíba, Brasil. Os instrumentos foram questionário e entrevista semiestruturada gravada, submetida à análise temático-categorial. Todos os pais entrevistados participam da rotina dos filhos, sendo esse envolvimento “condicionado” pelo trabalho, bem como pela severidade da deficiência. Alguns aspectos são comuns, como reação ao diagnóstico e preocupações.

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To identify potentialities and limitations for the execution of a State Plan for Food and Nutrition Security. Methods This is a qualitative research, using as a case the State Plan of Food and Nutrition Security of the state of Santa Catarina. The data were collected from an interview with eight key informants nominated by the executive secretaries of the Food and Nutrition Security Council and the Inter-Sectoral Food and the state Nutrition Security Board. The analysis took place through the Collective Subject Discourse method. Results The main potentialities were the quality of the plan and the structuring of the National System of Food and Nutrition Security in the state. The main limitations were related to the financial resources, to political interests and to the structure of the Management Chamber. Conclusion It is hoped that this study may support strategies that strengthen potentialities and minimize the limitations identified in the case studied, as well as in similar state contexts, contributing to the qualification of the Plans and consequent execution of the Food and Nutrition Security Policy.
Physical exercise improves body weight gain and liver function in malnourished rats without disturbing the redox balance

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT Objective To study the relationship between exercise and malnourishment because recent evidence suggests that exercise can cause the beneficial adaptation of antioxidant systems, whereas malnourishment can cause harmful adaptation of these systems. Methods Thirty-two female Fischer rats were equally divided into Sedentary Control, Trained Control, Sedentary Malnourished and Trained Malnourished groups. The training protocol consisted of swimming for 30 minutes continuously for 5 days/week for 8 weeks. Results It was demonstrated that aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities increased in malnourished rats, but physical training reversed these effects by lowering the raised levels. The glutathione level was diminished by malnourishment whereas physical training increased the levels of liver carbonyl protein and increased the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances that were diminished by malnourishment. In addition, Trained Malnourished rats had a higher average body weight than Sedentary Malnourished ones (62.77g vs. 55.08g, respectively). Conclusion The data show that exercise was able to reverse or reduce damage caused by malnourishment, such as weight loss and liver dysfunction by a pathway independent of the participation of enzymes involved in antioxidant defense and that there is no interaction between exercise and malnutrition.
“EGRESSAS” DE SERVIÇOS DE ACOLHIMENTO E A INVENÇÃO DE NOVAS POSSIBILIDADES DE VIDA
Authors: Rifiotis Fernanda Cruz
Published: January 2019

O artigo analisa os modos pelos quais jovens “egressas” de serviços de acolhimento institucional (abrigos, casas-lares) inventam novas possibilidades de vida, sob condições que a princípio reforçariam sua vulnerabilidade e falta de potência. A análise tem como base a etnografia realizada sobre as experiências de desinstitucionalização de jovens de Santa Catarina e do Rio Grande do Sul entre 2010 e 2013. As experiências de desinstitucionalização dessas jovens poderiam ser pensadas a partir das lacunas deixadas pelas políticas de proteção após o desacolhimento. No entanto, por mais que essas experiências sejam marcadas por “uma espécie de improvisação contínua”, tal dinâmica revela mais do que uma simples “tática de sobrevivência”. Assim, a proposta é pensar esses modos de vida com base na chave analítica da invenção (Roy Wagner). Dentre as vias para a invenção, destacam-se o cuidado com os filhos, as maneiras como subvertem os modos de ação das políticas assistenciais e a descoberta do que sabem e gostam de fazer.
Tribological analysis of palm kernel methyl ester containing polymeric viscosity improver
Authors: Dandan Muhammad Arif , Samion Syahrullail
Published: January 2019

Nowadays, because of the global concern on environmental protection against pollution produced by petroleum-based lubricants, there is a growing interest in developing biolubricants as a new type of clean and green technology. Vegetable oils have some excellent properties for use as biolubricants due to their biodegradability, renewability, high lubricity and high flash point. Despite these advantages, some vegetable oils have low viscosity, which constrains their potential to be used as biolubricants in many engineering applications. In this experimental study, ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer was tested as a viscosity improver for palm kernel methyl ester (PKME). It was found that the addition of 1% EVA copolymer increased the viscosity of PKME by 137%. The viscosity increment of PKME also contributed to the tribological performance of PKME by reducing the friction coefficient and wear scar diameter. This can be attributed to the ability of the polymer to absorb into metal surfaces to produce thick and viscous boundary films. The results also show that the friction-reducing properties of PKME formulated with 1% EVA copolymer are comparable to those of mineral oil SAE 40.
An analytical review of failed water public–private partnerships in developing countries
Authors: Tariq Salman , Zhang Xueqing , Leung Raymond H M
Published: January 2019

Developing countries have adopted public–private partnerships for water infrastructure utilities because of rapid urbanisation and economic growth along with the public sector’s lack of capital and technical capacity. However, water public–private partnerships have shown mixed results; many of them have encountered problems and even failed. Motivated by such failures, this study aims to explore the reasons behind failed water public–private partnerships in the last two and a half decades. Cases of 16 failed water public–private partnerships from different developing countries and regions have been compiled and thoroughly investigated, which disclosed a number of potential failure reasons: soaring tariffs, non-payment of bills, incapability of the public sector, poor technical performance of the private sector, macroeconomic instability, conflicts between public and private sectors, social and political opposition to privatisation, lack of transparency, fluctuations in exchange rates, change in related laws and others. The failure reasons identified are further analysed to develop their causal interrelationships through event mapping. Outputs of this study would facilitate stakeholders of water public–private partnership in taking appropriate actions to overcome these failure causes and ensure the success of future projects.
