Adubação mineral, orgânica e organomineral: efeitos na nutrição, produtividade, pós-colheita da cebola e na fertilidade do solo
Authors: Higashikawa Fábio Satoshi , Menezes Júnior Francisco Olmar Gervini de
Published: July 2017

A adubação orgânica, pelo efeito residual no solo, tem maior influência nos atributos de fertilidade do solo em relação a adubação mineral. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito das adubações mineral, orgânica e organomineral na nutrição, produtividade, pós-colheita da cebola e na fertilidade do solo após o ciclo da cebola. Os tratamentos consistiram de diferentes doses e fontes de N: 0N = tratamento sem aplicação de N; 75N-M = 75 kg ha-1 de N na forma de nitrato de amônio (NA); 75N-OM = 75 kg ha-1 de N metade como NA e outra metade como esterco de aves (EA); 75N-O = 75 kg ha-1 de N na forma de EA; 125N-M = 125 kg ha-1 de N na forma de NA; 125N-OM = 125 kg ha-1 de N metade como NA e outra metade como EA; 125N-O = 125 kg ha-1 de N na forma de EA. Os diferentes tipos de adubação influenciaram na nutrição, mas não apresentaram diferença estatística na produtividade. Independentemente da fonte, os bulbos dos tratamentos que receberam maiores doses de N foram aqueles que apresentaram maiores perdas pós-colheita. Análises de componentes principais e de agrupamento hierárquico foram feitas com o intuito de visualizar os padrões dos grupamentos dos atributos físico-químicos em cada tipo de adubação. De modo geral, a adubação orgânica (125N-O e 75N-O) proporcionou melhoria nos atributos físico-químicos do solo em relação a adubação convencional (125 N-M e 75N-M).
Classification Shifting in the Income-Decreasing Discretionary Accrual Firms
Authors: Adiguzel Humeyra
Published: July 2017

This study investigates whether managers use classification shifting to classify operating expenses as non-operating. Using a methodology similar to McVay (2006), I find no evidence of classification shifting between operating and non-operating expenses. However, I find evidence that managers classify operating expenses as non-operating in the absence of income decreasing accrual management. This finding can be explained that income-decreasing accrual management both affects operating and non-operating expenses and measuring classification shifting without considering discretionary accrual management produces meaningless results.
Efficient Use of Capital: Paradox of Real Estate and Industry in Turkey
Authors: Hepsen Ali , Asici Mehmet , Aydin Olgun
Published: July 2017

In recent years, one of the hottest debates on Turkish economy is the conflict on resource allocation between real estate and industry sectors. The debate was so intense that ex-minister of Economy Mr. Ali Babacan declared his opinions. Mr. Babacan’s statements about the creation of fixed capital by the private sector is not promising, and private sector fixed capital expenditures are not in the desired level. This situation is due to the limited economic growth and future economic growth. In this study, we have investigated whether Mr. Babacan’s statement is right or not. We have discussed the reliability of the measurement of real estate output as Gruneberg and Folwell did in 2013 and Ruddock did in 2002. That could be concluded that we agree with ex-minister of Economy Mr. Babacan’s comments regarding to imbalances among sectors are threatening Turkish economy’s stability. The imbalances are favoring residential real estate investments and consequently the country is exposed to currency risk.

Published: July 2017

The arsenite species is a common form of arsenic in nature and ground waters and is categorized as a major public health group. In the present study, the arsenite ions from contaminated solutions were removed by adsorption on the granola modified lemon peel. The arsenite adsorption on lemon peel was investigated by various concentrations of arsenite with 0.2 g/100 mL of adsorbent at a range of pH 3 - 10 and a constant temperature of 25°C for 0 to 240 minutes using batch experiments. Data of the adsorption experiment were analyzed by the pseudo-first and second- order kinetic equations. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to understand the adsorption relationship between the arsenite ions and functional groups on the lemon peel. pH equal to 5.2 was recorded as pHzpc of this adsorbent in aqueous solution. The optimum condition was obtained at 60 minutes, pH value 8, and 2 mg/L of arsenite, with a removal efficiency of 88%. The maximum adsorption capacity of granola lemon peel was 27 mg.g-1 in Langmuir model. Lemon peel adsorbent presented good removal efficiency for arsenite in contaminated aqueous solutions and real water.
Saving Earth
Authors: Zwier Jochem , Blok Vincent ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2017

In this paper, we argue that the Anthropocene is relevant for philosophy of technology because it makes us sensitive to the ontological dimension of contemporary technology. In §1, we show how the Anthropocene has ontological status insofar as the Anthropocenic world appears as managerial resource to us as managers of our planetary oikos. Next, we confront this interpretation of the Anthropocene with Heidegger’s notion of “Enframing” to suggest that the former offers a concrete experience of Heidegger’s abstract, notoriously difficult, and allegedly totalitarian concept (§2). In consequence, technology in the Anthropocene cannot be limited to the ontic domain of artefacts, but must be acknowledged to concern the whole of Being. This also indicates how the Anthropocene has a technical origin in an ontological sense, which is taken to imply that the issue of human responsibility must be primarily understood in terms of responsivity. In the final section (§3), we show how the Anthropocene is ambiguous insofar as it both accords and discords with what Heidegger calls the “danger” of technology. In light of this ambiguity, the Earth gains ontic-ontological status, and we therefore argue that Heidegger’s unidirectional consideration concerning the relation between being and beings must be reoriented. We conclude that the Anthropocene entails that Heidegger’s consideration of the “saving power” of technology as well as the comportment of “releasement” must become Earthbound, thereby introducing us to a saving Earth.
Fabry Nephropathy
Authors: Colpart Prudence , Félix Sophie
Published: July 2017

Fabry disease is a rare X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease. Multiple mutations of the GLA gene lead to a deficient or absent activity of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A, resulting in progressive glycotriaosylceramide accumulation in many organs. Low α-galactosidase A activity and mutations in the GLA gene confirm the diagnosis. Clinical signs are multisystemic, heterogeneous, and progressive. Renal, cardiac, and neurovascular involvements are the main life-threatening complications, highlighting the importance of an early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy improving long-term outcome. Fabry nephropathy lesions are characterized by a cell vacuolization of glomeruli, tubules, interstitium, and arteries and by ultrastructural myelin bodies. The main histologic differential diagnoses are toxicity of lysosomal inhibitors and other renal lipidoses. Renal biopsies are not necessary for diagnosis but have an important role in the evaluation of disease evolution and treatment efficiency, which is a major challenge for improving outcome and quality of life.
How response biases affect the factor structure of Big Five personality questionnaires
Authors: Morales-Vives Fabia , Lorenzo-Seva Urbano , Vigil-Colet Andreu
Published: July 2017

Several studies have shown that personality self-reports may be affected by response biases, and that this may have consequences on their factor structure, especially in samples with little education or in adolescents. The current study aims to understand the effect of social desirability and acquiescence on the factor structure of three questionnaires based on the Five Factor Model of personality: the Big Five Inventory, the Five Factor Personality Inventory and the Overall Personality Assessment Scale. The data was analysed using a new method that removes the effects of both social desirability and acquiescence from the inter-item correlation matrix used for factor analysis. These effects were assessed in a sample of 392 university students, which contained no individuals with low educational levels, children or adolescents. The results showed that, even in samples with no individuals with low educational levels, controlling for social desirability and acquiescence led to a simpler factor structure that is more congruent with the theoretical solution expected from the five factor model. It also seems that in the domain of inventories based upon the five factor model, this effect may be specially due to acquiescence.
Emotional experience in individual and cooperative traditional games. A gender perspective.
Authors: Lavega Pere , Sáez-de-Ocáriz Unai , Lagardera Francisco , March-Llanes Jaume , Puig Nuria
Published: July 2017

This study explored the effect of gender (GE) and group gender composition (GGEC) on men’s and women’s experiences of emotions when taking part in different games. To formulate our hypotheses we used a theoretical framework formed by the theories of Lazarus and Bisquerra on the construct of emotional competence and well-being and their relationship with gender stereotypes, Parlebas’s motor action theory and previous results of empirical research related to games, emotions and gender relations. The participants (218 university students, Mage = 20.3, sd = 2.73) completed twelve sessions of individual games (IG) and cooperative games (CG). The results showed that GE and GGEC were predictors of the experience of positive emotions and that males were more likely to experience negative emotions in both games. The findings highlight gender differences and could help physical education teachers to avoid activities that reinforce the hierarchies and inequalities associated with gender and sex role stereotypes.
Hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in old age through positive psychology studies: a scoping review
Authors: Araujo Lia , Ribeiro Oscar , Paúl Constança
Published: July 2017

The study of aging through the lens of Positive Psychology allows looking beyond the decline normally associated with advancing of age and to consider rewarding experiences and strategies to promote a meaningful aging. In order to gather evidence on the key conceptual and empirical advancements that illustrate the commitment of Positive Psychology with aging issues a scoping review was conducted. Papers having “Positive Psychology” AND “Aging” (or similar words to aging) on their title, abstract or key-words were screened across main databases and aging related terms were searched in well-known journals of positive psychology. This strategy yielded 48 articles, 33 original scientific papers and 15 reviews. Main themes, study designs and instruments are presented and the endpoints are discussed according to the hedonic or eudaimonic perspective of the studies. Future directions related with the importance of comprehensive constructs and method approaches in the study of advancing age are highlighted.
Effect of treatment on sex offenders’ recidivism: a meta-analysis.
Authors: Soldino Virginia , Carbonell-Vayá Enrique José
Published: July 2017

This meta-analysis has the aim of measuring the effect of treatment on sex offenders. After a systematic review of the recent literature, seventeen studies were selected, containing a total sample of 6,681 sex offenders. The rates of sexual recidivism (13.12% vs. 17.94%), violent ─including sexual─ (25.5% vs. 29.1%) and general ─any type of recidivism─ (46.53% vs. 52.41%) of treated offenders were less than those of the control groups. The effectiveness of the treatment was clear in reducing the rates of sexual (OR = .69; p < .05) and general (OR = .66; p < .05) recidivism of the subjects treated, but not the rates of violent recidivism. This results demonstrated the abilty of psychological treatments for reducing the risk of sexual and general recidivism of sex offenders. However, the interpretation of such results requires caution, given that an independent analysis of the studies of a good methodological quality did not show significant effects of treatment. The need for new and better comparison studies to assess treatment effect is clear, especially in Europe.
Multiple Mediation of Loneliness and Negative Emotions in the Relationship between Adolescents’ Social Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms
Authors: Baytemir Kemal , Yildiz Mehmet Ali
Published: July 2017

The current research aims to investigate the multiple mediation of loneliness and negative emotions in the relationship between adolescents’ social anxiety and depressive symptoms. Study participants, selected through convenience sampling, consisted of a total of 263 students, including 155 females (59%) and 108 males (41%), attending various high schools in a city in the mid-Black Sea Region. Participant students’ ages ranged between 14 and 18, with an average age of 15.05 (SD=.90). Data for the current study were collected through the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, UCLA Loneliness Scale – Short Form, Positive and Negative Emotion Scale for Adolescents, Depression Scale for Children, and Personal Information Form. Current research data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and an approach based on Ordinary Least Squares Regression, and the Bootstrap Method. The current study findings indicated that loneliness and negative emotions, both separately and together, mediated the relationship between social anxiety and depressive symptoms. No significant difference was found in the comparison conducted to reveal the more powerful mediating variable in terms of mediation effect. In addition, it was found that the model overall was significant and it explained 44% of the total variance in depressive symptoms. A discussion about and interpretation of findings obtained in the current study were included along with suggestions for relevant practitioners.

This study had two objectives. The first was to analyze the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and the psychological variables sleep quality, self-esteem, and mood states in young swimmers from a professional swimming club. The second was to study the relationship between performance and HRV and psychological determinants. The sample was composed of nine swimmers (11.7±1.4 years) base on purposive sampling method. Data were collected once a week during training sessions for 3 weeks. The statistical analysis showed that anxiety was negatively correlated with the high frequency component of HRV (Ln HF) and positively correlated with the very low frequency component (Ln LVF). No significant correlations were observed for self-esteem or sleep quality. Performance in a 200-m freestyle event was negatively correlated with the parasympathetic HRV indices. Our results suggest that HRV could be a valid tool for predicting performance and improving interpretation of psychometric tests.
Análisis de las relaciones diacrónicas en los comportamientos de éxito y fracaso de campeones del mundo de esgrima utilizando tres técnicas complementarias

Published: July 2017

The aim of this study was to investigate diachronic relationships in successful and unsuccessful behaviors by world fencing champions using three complementary techniques: T-pattern analysis, lag sequential analysis, and polar coordinate analysis. We employed a nomothetic, point, multidimensional observational design in which we analyzed 24 bouts fenced by six world fencing champions in 2014. The actions were recorded and coded using LINCE software. The results revealed a series of behaviors that were significantly associated with successful outcomes, and also identified actions that contributed to poorer performance. One key conclusion to be drawn from the study is that the use of these complementary techniques is perfectly feasible and holds great potential in the field of sport. Lag sequential analysis of occurrences at lag 0 (co-occurrences) and analysis of basic T-patterns provided tactical insights into the different fencing actions employed. This analysis is focused on the actions and reactions of each fencer and his rival during each exchange. Insights into combat strategy, by contrast, were provided by lag sequential analysis of occurrences at lags -1 to -5 and lags +1 to +5, analysis of T-pattern clusters, and polar coordinate analysis. In the last case, we observed how prospective and retrospective behaviors, reflected in the modification or extension of certain behaviors during each bout, improved the efficacy of actions performed throughout the competition.

Published: July 2017

Tactical behavior could be affected by changes in small-sided game (SSG) formats. The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of different pitch lengths during 7-a-side SSGs played by young football players. Fourteen male soccer players in each age group (13 and 14 years old, U13 and U14 teams) were divided in two teams of seven players who played four SSGs of 7 minutes, interspersed with 4 minutes of passive recovery. The only modification to the SSG format was pitch length: 60 m (SSG60), 50 m (SSG50), 40 m (SSG40), and 30 m (SSG30), while the width of the field was kept constant at 40 m. The variables used to characterize collective behavior were grouped in a) intra-team variables, namely, team length (L), team width (W), effective area of team play or convex hull (CH), and stretch index (SI); and b) inter-team variables, namely distance between centroids (DC), length of both teams (L2), width of both teams (W2), convex hull of both teams (CH2), and stretch index of both teams (SI2). Our results revealed different intra and inter-team behaviors according to SSG format and player age. L, CH, SI, DC, L2, CH2, and SI2 all increased with increasing pitch length, while W and W2 showed only minimal changes. The differences were greater in the U13 group, suggesting that younger players were more likely to vary their collective behavior in response to changes to pitch length, inter-task, particularly in the longer pitches (SSG50 and SSG60). Conversely, using the analysis of the entropy, greater unpredictability of tactical behavior was observed in the U14 group, intra-task, compared with the U13 group. Overall, the findings suggest that responses to task constraints, such as modifications to pitch length and accordingly relative area of play, are dependent on age (experience, skill) and this is something coaches should consider when designing SSGs to develop team tactics.
El análisis de la influencia del tiempo de juego y la puntuación parcial sobre el comportamiento táctico en el ataque en balonmano, utilizando la técnica de coordenadas polares
Authors: Prudente João , Sousa Duarte , Sequeira Pedro , López-López José Antonio , Hernández-Mendo Antonio
Published: July 2017

Different studies have referred that the playing time and partial score, as well as the interaction between these two influences the behaviors of players and teams. With this study we intended to realize the complex reality of tactical behavior in the attack in Men´s European Cup, by detecting behavior patterns and linking them to playing time and partial score.

We used the observational methodology and for data analysis we used the polar coordinates. An instrument of observation has been constructed ad hoc and validated. The tool optimization included the quality data control, using the analysis of intra and inter observer reliability by Cohen's Kappa index (range between .85 and 1), beyond the application of generalizability analysis (G indexes are suitable for all models estimated) confirming the instrument reliability. The sample contained all of 2vs2 situations that occurred during the organized offensive process in numerical equality 6vs6, in sixteen games (n = 390).

As main results we can refer that the playing time influenced the decision-making in relation to the tactical means used, excepting the last ten minutes, where no patterns were found. The results also show that there are fewer behavior patterns when the score is a draw.
La frecuencia de las actividades sexuales como variable mediadora de la satisfacción sexual en mujeres jóvenes. (Frequency of sexual activities as a mediator of sexual satisfaction among young women.)
Authors: Ogallar Blanco Adelaida Irene , Godoy Izquierdo Débora , Vázquez Pérez Mª Luisa , Godoy García Juan Francisco
Published: July 2017

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship among several social-cognitive predictors of sexual behavior (beliefs, knowledge, attitudes and values), sexual behaviors, the frequency of sexual activities and different dimensions of sexual satisfaction (individual/with the partner and current/desired). A mixed-method study was conducted. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview specially designed for this study, which was administered to 14 to 20 years old young women. Correlation analyses revealed that the expected direct associations between the explored social-cognitive predictors, sexual behavior and sexual satisfaction were not established, so we examined possible indirect effects. The results of the mediational model that better fitted the data indicated that sexual behavior is related with (current) sexual satisfaction, not only directly but also indirectly, through the frequency of sexual activities in a (probable) effect of partial mediation. These findings have interesting applications in terms of sexual education and sexual health promotion among young women.

Stoicism has been used to describe a wide range of behaviors in the face of disease that go from silence, resistance to the adversity, or ‘to make the best of a bad disease’. This study pursued two objectives: 1) analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the LSS; 2) assess the relation between stoicism and gender, age, and the five-factor personality model. NEOcoping is a prospective, multicenter, observational, non-interventionist study. Patients were recruited consecutively at thirteen Spanish teaching hospitals. The following scales were administered: Liverpool Stoicism Scale (LSS) and Big Five Inventory (BFI-10). A total of 443 patients (250 females) with a mean age of 59.8 years (SD =12.3) were enrolled. Colon cancer was the most common (40.0%), followed by breast cancer (32.7%). At the total-scale level, mean LSS was lower than the originally reported British series and higher than Latvian sample. The four-factor structure fitted the data well, had a clear interpretation, and the derived scales showed acceptable reliabilities. The personality trait of introversion predicted 4.1% of the variance of stoicism (p<.001). The LSS scale demonstrates good psychometric properties to appraise stoicism in the Spanish population with resected cancer. 
Lidiando con el burnout: Análisis de relaciones lineales, no lineales y de interacción.
Authors: García-Arroyo José , Osca Amparo
Published: July 2017

This study analyzes the relationship between action-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion, cynicism and personal accomplishment) by comparing linear, non-linear and interaction models using quadratic regression analysis. The sample consisted of 202 college professors. Variables such as gender or age were not significant when explaining the relationship between coping and burnout. The results show significant negative relationships between emotion-focused coping and exhaustion and cynicism, and positive relationships with personal accomplishment (linear model). They also show that very low or very high levels of emotion-focused coping diminish personal accomplishment significantly (non-linear model), and that the combined effect of strategies is significant, so that when the use of emotion-focused coping is greater than the use of action-focused coping, exhaustion increases and personal accomplishment decreases. These results support the idea that in order to better understand the flexible and adaptive nature of coping and that it operates in a combined process where one strategy affects the other, the application of non-linear and interaction models are very useful. Finally, we discuss the practical implications for future research and for prevention and intervention programs on burnout.

Buscar y gestionar la información constituyen componentes fundamentales de los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje (PLE). En este estudio se analiza el nivel de conocimiento, uso y capacitación de los estudiantes de Educación de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, así como las finalidades que se pretenden y las actividades que se desarrollan cuando manejan herramientas tecnológicas para el acceso a la información.

Basándose en un diseño ex post facto de carácter transeccional, se aplicó un cuestionario construido ad hoc en el que participaron 381 alumnos. Los resultados muestran como los PLE de estos estudiantes necesitan un mayor desarrollo acorde con la vertiginosa evolución de la tecnología. Destaca su desconocimiento de ciertas herramientas, especialmente web 2.0, así como el escaso uso y la limitada capacitación que poseen. Se recomienda fortalecer la formación tecno-pedagógica de los estudiantes de manera que se pueda enriquecer su PLE en su doble vertiente de usuarios y futuros formadores.
The relationship of gender, time orientation, and achieving self-regulated learning
Authors: Salmerón Pérez Honorio , Gutiérrez Braojos Calixto , Rodríguez Fernández Sonia
Published: July 2017

The present study has three objectives: i) to test a theoretical model of academic achievement modulated by self-regulated learning; ii) to analyze significant differences between self-regulated learning means and time patterns depending on the gender of the participants; and iii) to identify self-regulated learning profiles toward academic achievement based on gender. The data were obtained from a sample of 192 university students in education degrees who were administered three instruments: a Future Time Orientation subscale by Zimbardo and Boyd, (1999); the 2x2 Achievement Goals Scale by Elliot and McGregor (2001), and a Learning Regulation subscale by Vermunt (1998). In addition, they answered a question about their mean grade point average up to that point in the academic degree studied. The results indicate a significant and positive relationship between the future time orientation, approach goals, and external regulation strategies. Significantly higher scores are observed in women than in men on key academic performance variables, although the effect size was not large. The gender differences are exclusively quantitative. In both groups, the characteristics of the learner profiles are somewhat similar, with no important differences observed for the gender condition. In general, avoidance goals and external regulation strategies can lead to success in academic achievement, as long as they are accompanied by a future orientation, internal regulation, and approach goals.

Los estudios sobre el liderazgo escolar es una de las líneas más fructíferas de investigación en las últimas décadas. En concreto, existe una línea de investigación sobre cómo son los líderes de las escuelas exitosas (Day, 2016b, 2017; Day, Gu, & Sammons, 2016; Moos, Johansson, & Day, 2011). El proyecto Internacional ISSPP (International Successful School Principalship Project) se centra en conocer cómo es el liderazgo escolar exitoso en los distintos países que conforman la red. Dentro de este proyecto de envergadura internacional, el presente estudio busca conocer las características tanto personales como profesionales de la dirección escolar exitosa. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación de enfoque cualitativo a partir de cuatro estudios de casos en la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid. Para ello se han realizado entrevistas semi-estructuras, grupos de discusión, cuestionarios y observaciones. Los principales resultados señalan que los directores exitosos son aquellos que a) tienen una clara orientación de la escuela, b) muestran un liderazgo humano, c) abren sus escuelas a la comunidad d) adecuan el centro al contexto y e) ejercen un liderazgo pedagógico.

Censorship in Translation: The Dynamics of Non-, Partial and Full Translations in the Chinese Context
Authors: Tan Zaixi
Published: July 2017

This research focuses upon how the translation of certain types of literature in China evolved historically: from ‘non-translations’ (i.e., ‘translations’ unmade as well as made and yet strictly forbidden under given censorship conditions) to ‘partial’ or ‘full/near-full’ translations set against the backdrop of changing practices required by the country’s censorship policies. My analysis begins with an overview of the multi-faceted interface between censorship and translation, followed by the conceptualization of a typology of translations under censorship. This initial discussion, in turn, allows me to resituate specific translations, including the once absented translations of earlier times (i.e., prior to the 1949 Revolution or prior to the Cultural Revolution), which were initially taken at face value as ‘non-translations’ and yet which, later on, became ‘partial’ or ‘full/near-full’ translations under the country’s subsequently more relaxed censorial operations. I attempt to illustrate such shifts by means of in-depth discussion of the dynamic nature of translational commitment in connection with the change-resistant properties and evolving priorities of censorship. In illustrating my arguments, I will draw specific examples from case studies of three well-known censorship-affected translations – i.e., On China (Kissinger 2011), Lolita (Nabokov 1991) and The Good Earth (Buck 1960), which, I argue, epitomise the shifting degrees of translational commitment (‘non-,’ ‘partial’ and ‘full/near-full’) as they occurred in the Chinese context.
Cohesive Devices in Translator Training: A Study Based on a Romanian Translational Learner Corpus
Authors: Arhire Mona
Published: July 2017

Formal links are naturally associated with cohesion as one of the main features of discourse. Cohesion has been extensively discussed in the literature especially in terms of the mechanisms generating it, but also in terms of its equivalence in translation. As with any type of discourse, the communicative value of translated texts is enhanced by their cohesive texture. Less attention has been granted to the translation of formal links carrying additional functions though. This study examines some cohesive devices in student translations with a special focus on the translatability of ellipsis, substitution and reference when they are enriched with stylistic, sociolectal and rhetorical values. The study is based on a translational learner corpus consisting of Romanian graduate students’ translations of a short story from English into Romanian. The methodology for assessing and analyzing the learner corpus is of both quantitative and qualitative nature and employs simplification, explicitation and neutralization. The conclusions comprise insights into some problematic areas in the trainees’ translations, as well as observations related to contrastive aspects of cohesive devices between English and Romanian. A teaching methodology is subsequently derived from the findings in an attempt to offer a more comprehensive approach to the pedagogy of translating cohesive devices with stylistic load.
Translations of Sovietisms: A Comparative Case Study of English Translations of Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita
Authors: Kaloh Vid Natalia
Published: July 2017

Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita (1966-1967), a highly complex and multi-levelled narrative, is a challenge for any translator. Because Bulgakov’s narrative has been translated into English seven times (twice by the same translator, Glenny), with the first two translations published in the same year, 1967, and the latest in 2008, the novel offers a unique insight into the analysis of translation shifts, not merely from a synchronic, but also from a diachronic perspective. The emphasis here is on the translation of historical realia, referred to as Sovietisms, and pertaining to items characteristic of Soviet discourse of the 1930s, word-formations of the non-standard “Soviet Russian.” Bulgakov’s language is sated with Soviet vocabulary which refers to various cultural and socio-political elements of Soviet reality. Sovietisms occur at various levels (lexical, syntactical, stylistic and rhetorical) and should be carefully translated as a significant characteristic of Bulgakov’s style. A complete domestication of Sovietisms may lead to a loss of a connotative meaning essential for understanding the context, while a foreignization of these terms which are most likely unknown to Western readers may disturb the fluency of reading. The purpose of the analysis, thus, is to illustrate the use of domesticating/foreignizing strategies employed by the translators and to assess the translation choices, considering that the target audience of English-speaking readers are most likely completely unfamiliar with most terms. The analysis employs theory on foreignizing and domesticating principles, as well as taxonomies suggested by Vinay and Darbelnet (1958/1989), Vlakhov and Florin (1980) and Aixelá (1996) as the grounds for the case study.
« Le soleil de la prospérité actuelle ne luit pas pour tout le monde1 » : les exclus de la société de consommation à Montréal, 1945-19752
Authors: O’Neill Stéphanie
Published: July 2017

Cette note de recherche fait ressortir quelques indicateurs permettant de mieux connaître les ménages qui demeurent hors de la société de consommation en voie de consolidation à Montréal entre 1945 et 1975. En ayant recours aux données statistiques et à divers travaux, surtout contemporains de la période à l’étude, elle procède à une mise en lumière de quelques aspects de la géographie de la pauvreté de la ville et des municipalités adjacentes ainsi que des appartenances sociales des ménages exclus de l’abondance des Trente Glorieuses. Il en ressort qu’hier comme aujourd’hui, la pauvreté étend davantage son emprise sur certains quartiers de la ville ainsi que sur les Autochtones, les membres de certaines communautés culturelles, les familles nombreuses et les ménages dont la chef est une femme.

Invertebrates from various marine habitats form nutritional symbioses with chemosynthetic bacteria. In chemosynthetic symbioses, both the mode of symbiont transmission and the site of bacterial housing can affect the composition of the symbiont population. Vertically transmitted symbionts, as well as those hosted intracellularly, are more likely to form clonal populations within their host. Conversely, symbiont populations that are environmentally acquired and extracellular may be more likely to be heterogeneous/mixed within host individuals, as observed in some mytilid bivalves. The symbionts of thyasirid bivalves are also extracellular, but limited 16S rRNA sequencing data suggest that thyasirid individuals contain uniform symbiont populations. In a recent study,Thyasiracf.gouldiindividuals from Bonne Bay, Newfoundland, Canada were found to host one of three 16S rRNA phylotypes of sulfur-oxidizing gammaproteobacteria, suggesting environmental acquisition of symbionts and some degree of site-specificity. Here, we use Sanger sequencing of both 16S RNA and the more variable ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO) PCR products to further examineThyasiracf.gouldisymbiont diversity at the scale of host individuals, as well as to elucidate any temporal or spatial patterns in symbiont diversity within Bonne Bay, and relationships with host OTU or size. We obtained symbiont 16S rRNA and RuBisCO Form II sequences from 54 and 50 host individuals, respectively, during nine sampling trips to three locations over four years. Analyses uncovered the same three closely related 16S rRNA phylotypes obtained previously, as well as three divergent RuBisCO phylotypes; these were found in various pair combinations within host individuals, suggesting incidents of horizontal gene transfer during symbiont evolution. While we found no temporal patterns in phylotype distribution or relationships with host OTU or size, some spatial effects were noted, with some phylotypes only found within particular sampling sites. The sequencing also revealed symbiont populations within individual hosts that appeared to be a mixture of different phylotypes, based on multiple base callings at divergent sites. This work provides further evidence thatThyasiracf.gouldiacquires its symbionts from the environment, and supports the theory that hosts can harbour symbiont populations consisting of multiple, closely related bacterial phylotypes.

O câncer é considerado uma doença genética, na qual os genes que sofreram mutações por motivos físicos ou químicos, modificam a função biológica natural. Os métodos mais eficazes para a destruição de células tumorais ainda são a quimioterapia e a radioterapia, porém, seus efeitos colaterais, na maioria das vezes, interferem na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Dentre as diversas complicações envolvidas no tratamento antineoplásico, destaca-se a mucosite oral. A presente revisão de literatura objetiva descrever a etiopatogênese da MO e destaca as principais complicações provenientes deste tipo de lesão. Por se tratar de um processo inflamatório que acomete a mucosa oral e estar associada a quadros de desconforto e dor, é importante tentar proporcionar ao paciente afetado por esta condição clínica alívio da  sintomatologia dolorosa. Há na literatura o registro do emprego de algumas medidas profiláticas e terapêuticas para a mucosite provocada por oncoterapia, tais como uso de agentes físicos e químicos. O laser, por exemplo, é uma forma de radiação não ionizante e com alta concentração, não invasiva e bem tolerada pelo organismo. É de grande importância a realização de estudos sobre o tema para que se tenha dados e parâmetros de análise suficientes para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes em tratamento contra o câncer.

Pharmaceutical Care is a practice that the main purpose is to improve the patient’s quality of life who use frequently drugs, especially whose chronic use. Hypertension is considered a public health problem, with significant risk factors to increase cardiovascular issues in a population. Patients with this type of chronic disease can use a specific medication to stabilize their clinical system. In addition, these patients often use the medication improperly as a different drug amount or quality and stored incorrectly in their home. Through this pharmaceutical care practice, the pharmacist may interact directly with the patient to identify their needs related with drugs. Given these considerations, this study aim to develop a safer and more effective antihypertensive pharmacotherapy  providing information about the correct and safe drugs use. This is the way to avoid the patients with early return in a hospital for treatments.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a prevalência de osteoartrite e a presença de fatores de risco em frequentadores de um centro de convivência. Trata-se de um estudo transversal aninhado a um estudo de coorte realizado com 391 adultos e idosos em um centro de convivência e atenção para idosos, de julho/2014 a julho/2015. Foram consideradas as variáveis: presença de osteoartrite, sexo, idade, cor/raça, estado nutricional, quedas, autopercepção de saúde, início da menopausa e auto relato de doenças. Realizou-se análise descritiva e inferencial. Dos 391 participantes, 32 (7,7%) possuíam osteoartrite, 377 (96,4%) eram do sexo feminino, 187 (47,9%) com idade entre 60 e 69 anos, 326 (84,1%) cor branca, 191 (56,5%) baixo peso/eutrófico, 63 (16,1%) relataram quedas no último ano, 282 (72,2%) saúde muito boa/boa, 223 (53,9%) hipertensão e 306 (78,3%) das mulheres atingiram a menopausa após os 55 anos. A presença de osteoartrite mostrou-se associada a pior percepção de saúde (p=0,033) e ao relato de quedas (p=0,020). Portanto, a osteoartrite mostrou-se pouco prevalente, possivelmente pela condição fisicamente ativa da amostra, sugerindo a influência da condição física na manifestação dessa doença.

 
Biotecnologia: o desafio da transdisciplinaridade

Published: July 2017

Biotecnologia: o desafio da transdisciplinaridade O Instituto de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal da Bahia tem contribuído para a formação de um significativo número de Bacharéis em Biotecnologia. Esses profissionais são preparados para contribuir com o desenvolvimento de processos industriais, ambientais e/ou médico-farmacêuticos. Essa flexibilidade profissional só é possível porque a biotecnologia é muito mais “integrativa” do que de especialização do conhecimento, uma vez que se trata de uma ciência que deve integrar os conhecimentos das engenharias, biologia, química e matemática e, por isso, exige que o profissional formado seja competente em articular o conteúdo dessas diferentes fontes de informação. Por ser um trabalho complexo e, talvez, infindável, o profissional não pode se apoiar apenas no acúmulo e na memorização de informação. A frase que poderia ser melhor utilizada para descrever esse caso seria que “o Biotecnólogo tem que ser capaz de transitar por entre as diferentes áreas do conhecimento”. A “transdisciplinaridade” é, portanto, uma função pensante utilizada para unir o conteúdo das várias disciplinas e assim originar uma nova interpretação da realidade. Vários profissionais se preocupam com os conhecimentos específicos oferecidos nas disciplinas dos mais de quarenta cursos de Biotecnologia espalhados pelo país. No entanto, as atividades de um Bacharel em Biotecnologia são mais complexas do que o uso da linguagem, memória técnica e do raciocínio lógico. A habilidade de articular o conteúdo cognitivo de forma a integrar as diferentes áreas do conhecimento envolve o desenvolvimento da curiosidade e da flexibilidade emocional e intelectual. Com certeza, todas essas funções podem ser adquiridas através de técnicas de aprendizagem, daí porque na concepção dos cursos são idealizadas disciplinas ou atividades na grade curricular para facilitar esse tipo de abordagem. Por esse motivo, os professores e os seus métodos de ensino acabam sendo de extrema importância para fomentar esse tipo de formação “integradora”. O corpo docente do curso de Biotecnologia do Instituto de Ciências da Saúde está consciente desse fato e objetiva esse tipo de abordagem na atividade de ensino. Portanto, para fazer uma descrição é possível adotar uma visão mais pragmática do que acadêmica desse fato.......

Since the mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar of the University of Science and Technology of China was developed in 2013, more than 100 days of valid nighttime wind data from 15 to 60 km altitude were obtained during recent 3 years. The observation locations cover the northwest (midlatitude) of China: Delingha (37.371°N, 97.374°E), Xinzhou (38.425°N, 112.729°E), and Jiuquan (39.741°N, 98.495°E). Recently, we have extracted perturbations of the wind profiles from the wind field measurements and we have found that inertia gravity waves and mountain waves existed at the same time. The results of wind field and several gravity waves cases are shown in this paper. Typical characteristics of the gravity waves are analyzed in this midlatitude area of China. A 2‐D fast Fourier transform of the wind perturbation shows that a dominant stationary wave mode and a downward wave mode exist simultaneously in the spectrum. A band‐pass 2‐D filter was applied to the spectrum followed by inverse fast Fourier transform to separate inertia gravity waves from stationary mountain waves. The horizontal wavelength is retrieved using hodograph methods, indicating that the inertia waves are generated thousands of kilometers away. Observed mountain waves from a combination of vertical wind and leaned line of sight wind measurements show a small‐angle leaned wave front from the horizontal direction. This kind of gravity wave observation of the stratospheric wind field and its wave patterns is rare and significant for the study of atmospheric dynamics.
