Sind’de İslâm Fetihleri II
Authors: ÜREMİŞ Ali
Published: July 2019

Ana hatlarıyla Pakistan’ın

güneydoğusunda İndus (Mihrân) nehri çevresini kaplayan Sind bölgesine

Müslüman Arapların ilgileri, Muâviye zamanından itibaren Emevîler döneminde

giderek artmıştır. Sind’in zaman zaman Hilâfet merkezindeki Hâricî vb.

isyanlarına katılan bir takım suçlu ve kaçakların sığınak bölgesi hâline

gelmesi ve idarecilerin onları takip ve cezalandırma girişimleri üzerine

oralarda yerel güçlerle işbirliğine kalkışmaları, bu ilginin canlı kalmasına

ciddi katkıda bulunmuştur. Peş peşe atanan komutanların havaliye düzenlediği

seferlerde bölgenin coğrafî yapısının çetin, Zutt’lar vb. zümrelerden oluşan

insanının yaman savaşçı karakteri, ağır kayıplar verilmesine yol açmışsa da

Sind topraklarındaki Mekran, Dibal, Kîkan, Kusdâr gibi önemli

yerleşim merkezleri zapt ya da fetih edilip pek çok esir ve ganimet ele

geçirilmiştir. Abdülmelik b. Mervân (685-705)’ın Irak ve doğu illeri -genel- valiliğine

atadığı, oğlu I. Velîd (705-715)’in

de yerinde bıraktığı Haccâc ile

birlikte bölgenin esasen Emevîlerin tarihinde âdeta yeni bir çığır açılmış,

büyük fetih hamlelerine girişilmiştir. Hulefâ-yi Râşidîn Dönemi’nin

tecrübelerinden azami istifade için pek çok vali aynı görevlerine yeniden atanmış hatta ekserisi, Sind’in fethi uğruna

hayatını bölgede kaybetmiştir. Yerli halktan toplanacak haraç, vergiler vb.

hususlarda bazı düzenlemeler yapma yoluna da gidilmiştir. Ne var ki çabaların

tümüyle kalıcı olamadığı, birçok yerin tekrar zaptı veya fethi için seferler

gerçekleştirilmesinden anlaşılmaktadır. İşte 708’lerden itibaren Muhammed b.

Kâsım’la kalıcı hâle gelen fetihlerin zeminini oluşturan ön aşamalar; birçok

olayın yakın şahidi olan el-Kûfî ve diğer kaynaklardan da yararlanılarak ortaya

konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
I. Dünya Savaşı ve Sonrasında Kumarın Yaygınlaşması ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin Aldığı Tedbirler
Authors: KURNAZ ŞAHİN Feyza
Published: July 2019

Çalışmanın amacı I. Dünya Savaşı ve sonrasında sosyal çözülmenin bir

göstergesi olarak kumarın yaygınlaşması ve devletin buna yönelik aldığı

tedbirleri irdelemek olarak tanımlanır. I. Dünya Savaşı sırasında yaşanan

ekonomik ve sosyal sıkıntılar nedeniyle artan yoksulluk, toplumu sefalete

sürükledi. Olağan zamanlarda yapılması sakıncalı olan davranışlar aleni hale

geldi. Bu dönemde Osmanlı toplumunda kumar, alkol, sefahat ve fuhuş gibi

alışkanlıklar yaygınlaştı. I. Dünya Savaşı ve Mütareke döneminde kumarın artışı

Osmanlı hükümetlerinin dikkatinden kaçmadı. Osmanlı hükümeti, kumarı önlemek için

hukukî ve inzibatî tedbirler aldı. Bu kapsamda kahvehanelere ve diğer kumar

oynanan mahallere polis baskınları düzenlendi. Diğer taraftan özellikle

memurlar arasında yaygın hale gelen kumarı önlemek için bir nizamname

çıkartıldı. Ancak bu tedbirlere rağmen kumar tamamen önlenemedi. Zira kumarı

doğuran sosyal ve ekonomik şartlar iyileştirilemediği için bu sorun Cumhuriyet

döneminde de tartışılmaya devam etti. Çalışmanın temel kaynaklarını

Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başbakanlığı Osmanlı Arşivinde yer alan

belgeler ile dönemin süreli yayınları oluşturmaktadır.

Published: July 2019

Afganistan’nın kuzeydoğusunda yer alan Ai Khanoum kentinin erken tarihi

hakkındaki bilgiler oldukça sınırlıdır. Büyük İskender’in Pers İmparatorluğu hâkimiyetine

son vermesiyle doğunun kapıları Greklere açıldı. Bu seferler sonrasında doğunun

zenginliklerine sahip olmak isteyen Grekler, Orta Asya’ya göç etmeye başladı.

Grek yayılım alanı içerisinde Ai Khanoum, Hellenistik Dönem’de önemli bir

yerleşim merkezi haline geldi. İskender’in ani ölümden sonra Orta Asya’ya hâkim

olan Seleukos Krallığı döneminde ise Ai Khanoum’da Grek kültüründe ve stilinde

yoğun imar faaliyetleri gerçekleştirildi. Seleukos Krallığı’nın, Orta Asya’da

hâkimiyetinin sarsılmasıyla Greco-Bactrian Krallığı kuruldu. Greco-Bactrian

Krallığı döneminde ise Ai Khanoum kraliyet merkezi haline geldi. Yakın zamana

kadar Greklerin doğudaki etkileri birkaç edebi ve nümizmatik kaynakla

açıklanıyordu; fakat son otuz yılda Orta Asya’da yapılan arkeolojik

araştırmalar sonucunda önemli bilgilere ulaşıldı. Bu çalışmada Ai Khanoum

kentinin; tarihi, kent planı ve mimari yapıları incelenmiştir.

Published: July 2019

The main purpose of this investigation is to distinguish the problematic tendencies of the health insurance market development in Ukraine and the competitive positions of the leading insurance companies on it. Accordingly, the issues of complex analysis of key indicators of the insurers’ competitiveness, and the issues of establishing the factors that determine the level of competition in the market become very urgent. The first 30 insurers out of 50 were taken for the study, and they received about 90% of insurance premiums for voluntary health insurance in Ukraine in 2017. The authors have made the assessment of the competitive environment of the health insurance market of Ukraine using the concentration index and the indicator of market competition, which resulted in defining the advantages and disadvantages of their application. Taking into account that the abovementioned indicators for assessing the competition in the insurance market can provide only approximate results, which indicates the inadequacy of the conclusions about the effectiveness of business processes management on it, the authors offered a scientific methodological approach to assessing the market environment with the use of an integrated indicator of the voluntary health insurance market competitiveness. Herewith, such an integrated indicator is calculated in terms of three segments of the market: sickness insurance; voluntary medical insurance (continuous health insurance); medical expenses insurance, simultaneously taking into account the behavior of two indicators – concentration and market competition. As a result of the research, it was found that the highest level of market concentration is typical for sickness insurance and it indicates a high monopoly in the market in terms of this segment. Thus, the integrated indicator allows to make a comprehensive investigation of market behavior of the market participants and to reveal the problematic tendencies of its competitive environment.

Authors: Zaid Abdel Naser , Al Ramahi Rowa’
Published: July 2019

Natural molecules are becoming more accepted choices as cosmetic agents, many products in the market today claim to include natural components. Plants include many substances that could be of a value in the whitening of the skin and working as anti-aging agents. A wide range of articles related to natural skin whitening and anti-aging agents have been reviewed. Many plant-derived and natural molecules have shown to affect melanin synthesis by different mechanisms, examples include Arbutin, Ramulus mori extract, Licorice extract, Glabridin, Liquiritin, Kojic acid, Methyl gentisate, Aloesin, Azelaic acid, Vitamin C, Thioctic acid, Soya bean extracts, Niacinamide, α and β-hydroxy acids, Lactic acid, Chamomile extract, and Ellagic acid. Some of the widely used natural anti-aging products as natural antioxidants, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and coenzyme Q can counteract the effects of reactive oxygen species in skin cells and have anti-aging properties on the skin. It was concluded that many natural products including antioxidants can prevent UV-induced skin damage and have whitening and anti-aging effects. It is very important to develop and stabilize appropriate methods for the evaluation of the whitening and anti-aging capacity of natural products and their exact mechanism of action to ensure real efficacy based on evidence-based studies. The attention should be oriented on the formulations and the development of an appropriate vehicle to ensure suitable absorption of these natural products in addition to evaluating the suitable concentration of these molecules required having the desired effects without causing harmful side effects.
Therapeutic Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Process of Wound Healing
Authors: Tejada Silvia , Batle Juan M. , Ferrer Miguel D. , Busquets-Cortés Carla , Monserrat-Mesquida Margalida , Nabavi Seyed M. , del Mar Bibiloni Maria , Pons Antoni , Sureda Antoni
Published: July 2019

Chronic and non-healing wounds, especially diabetic foot ulcers and radiation injuries, imply remarkable morbidity with a significant effect on the quality of life and a high sanitary cost. The management of these wounds requires complex actions such as surgical debris, antibiotic treatment, dressings and even revascularization. These wounds are characterized by poor oxygen supply resulting in inadequate oxygenation of the affected tissue. The adjuvant treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may increase tissue oxygenation favoring the healing of wounds which do not respond to the usual clinical care. The increase in the partial pressure of oxygen contributes to cover the energy demands necessary for the healing process and reduces the incidence of infections. Moreover, the increase in oxygen leads to the production of reactive species with hormetic activity, acting on signaling pathways that modulate the synthesis of inflammation mediators, antioxidants and growth factors which can contribute to the healing process. Studies performed with cell cultures and in animal models seem to demonstrate the beneficial effects of HBOT. However, clinical trials do not show such conclusive results; thus, additional randomized placebo-controlled studies are necessary to determine the real efficacy of HBOT and the mechanism of action for various types of wounds.
Brain Reward Function after Chronic and Binge Methamphetamine Regimens in Mice Expressing the HIV-1 TAT Protein
Authors: Kesby James P. , Chang Ariel , Najera Julia A. , Marcondes Maria Cecilia G. , Semenova Svetlana
Published: July 2019

Background:

Methamphetamine abuse and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are
common comorbidities. HIV-associated proteins, such as the regulatory protein TAT, may contribute
to brain reward dysfunction, inducing an altered sensitivity to methamphetamine reward and/or
withdrawal in this population.

Objective:

These studies examined the combined effects of TAT protein expression and, chronic and
binge methamphetamine regimens on brain reward function.

Methods:

Transgenic mice with inducible brain expression of the TAT protein were exposed to either
saline, a chronic, or a binge methamphetamine regimen. TAT expression was induced via
doxycycline treatment during the last week of methamphetamine exposure. Brain reward function
was assessed daily throughout the regimens, using the intracranial self-stimulation procedure, and
after a subsequent acute methamphetamine challenge.

Results:

Both methamphetamine regimens induced withdrawal-related decreases in reward function.
TAT expression substantially, but not significantly increased the withdrawal associated with exposure
to the binge regimen compared to the chronic regimen, but did not alter the response to acute
methamphetamine challenge. TAT expression also led to persistent changes in adenosine 2B receptor
expression in the caudate putamen, regardless of methamphetamine exposure. These results suggest
that TAT expression may differentially affect brain reward function, dependent on the pattern
of methamphetamine exposure.

Conclusion:

The subtle effects observed in these studies highlight that longer-term TAT expression,
or its induction at earlier stages of methamphetamine exposure, may be more consequential at inducing
behavioral and neurochemical effects.

Published: July 2019

:

The mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues of the upper respiratory tract, including adenoids and palatine tonsils, are considered as the first line of defense against respiratory infections, being important effector organs in both mucosal-type and systemic-type adaptive immunity. They are strategically located for mediating both local and regional immune functions, as they are exposed to antigens from both the inhaled air (allergens and pathogens) and the alimentary tract. Adenoids play a major role in the early and effective immune responses against viral and bacterial upper airway infections, as well as in the development of allergic reactions to respiratory allergens, being influenced by several environmental antigens and pollutants, such as tobacco smoke. In addition, recent studies have focused on new immune-modulating strategies for adenoidal cells as a preventive and therapeutic approach for chronic upper airways inflammation.

:

Herein, we aimed to summarize what is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating adenoidal immune responses in the context of inflammation and allergy, with particular reference to scientific literature published within the last five years.

Published: July 2019

Background:

The addition of nanoparticles to cellulose paper can improve its mechanical
strength, chemical stability, biocompatibility and hydrophobic properties. Silica nanoparticles are
known to be inert, hydrophobic, biocompatible, biodegradable and have a good distribution being deposited
on surfaces. The main characteristics of 20 nm SiO2 nanoparticles are good chemical and thermal
stability with a melting point of 1610-1728°C, a boiling point of 2230°C with a purity of 99.5%.

Objective:

To carry out the hydrophobization of paper based on Kraft cellulose and on cellulose obtained
from soybean husk with 20-nm size SiO2 nanoparticles and to study hydrophobicity, morphology and topography
of the prepared composites. Few relevant patents to the topic have been reviewed and cited.

Methods:

The ground and roasted soybean husk was treated with a NaOH, washed and dried. Hydrophobization
of paper was carried in aqueous medium by SiO2 addition in weight ratios “paper-SiO2 ”
of 0.01-0.05 wt.%, stirring, filtration and drying. The obtained cellulose sheet composites were characterized
by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmisión Electron Microscopy (TEM), FTIRspectroscopy,
Mullen proofs of hydrophobicity, and contact angle measurements.

Results:

The mechanical properties of paper nanocomposites (tensile strength and compression) increased
considerably by varying the concentrations. The tensile strength increased by 41-46% and the
compressive strength increased by 55-56%. The existence of fiber nanofoils, good adhesion of 20-nm
SiO2 nanoparticles to the paper surface, and their homogeneous distribution were observed.

Conclusion:

Cellulose was successfully obtained from soybean husk, applying the alkaline-based extraction
method. A good reinforcement of cellulose fibers is observed due to the outstanding characteristics
of the silicon dioxide nanoparticles.

Published: July 2019

Equitable provision of health care services and full coverage of health accessibility are the major challenge for developing countries to achieve the sustainable development goal (SDG 3 and 10). A geographical information system (GIS) is an effective platform for knowing how much area and population are covered by the existing MCH (maternal child health) services network for better health care planning. The aim of this study is to assess the geographical accessibility of MCH services and how they give impact on infant mortality and fertility in Sagar District. To uncover the answer, this study used buffer zone analysis, service area analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings highlight lower accessibility has prevailed in the study area in which 41 percent village was underserved by the buffer zone analysis while 62 percent was underserved by the service area analysis out of 2075 village. It is diversified from higher accessibility in north western Khurai plain region to lower in the central upland exclude the Sagar community development Block. We also find that health accessibility can explain 53 percent of the infant mortality of the district and IMR may control 33 percent of the children ever born in the district.The service area and buffer mapped output may have policy implication for the future establishment of the health center and road network. This policy can be helpful for reducing infant mortality and fertility through this they achieved SDG target.
Monitoring Vegetation Change in the Dryland Ecosystem of Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria using Geoinformatics
Authors: Jibrillah Abubakar Magaji , Ja'afar Mokhtar , Choy Lam Kuok
Published: July 2019

The dryland ecosystem of Sokoto state, in the North-western part of Nigeria has been witnessing gradual loss of vegetation cover in the recent decades caused by natural and human induced drivers of ecosystem change. This negative trend poses great challenges to both the physical environment and the people of the area, particularly due to the fragile nature of the ecosystems in the region and the peoples’ over dependence on it for their livelihoods. This study tries to monitor and assess the rate of change in the spatial distribution of vegetation in the area over the time and identify the drivers responsible for changing the vegetation. This is with a view to providing evidence-based information to the policy makers that would guide them in making informed decisions that would assist in conserving the vegetation and the entire ecosystem of the area. Using multi-temporal MODIS-NDVI satellite data, image processing and GIS techniques, this research work tries to monitor and assess gradual change in vegetation cover in Sokoto state, North-western Nigeria. Correlation analysis was also used to measure the degree of relationship between vegetation change and some drivers of ecosystem change in the area. The findings of the research reveal a gradual but persistent decline in vegetation cover in the area, both during the rainy and dry seasons. This is also show a strong positive relationship with the rainfall distribution and a perfect negative relationship with the population distribution of the area. This indicate that, both climate change and anthropogenic drivers plays a significant role in changing vegetation distribution of the area. Anthropogenic drivers however, play a more significant influence. The degree of relationship is however, stronger during the dry season, making the ecosystem more vulnerable during the dry season due to increasing aridity. Although change in the vegetation cover of the area seems to be gradual and unnoticed, if left unchecked the long-term cumulative impacts could have serious negative impacts on both the structure and functions of the ecosystems of the area. This could in turn, affect the livelihoods and socio-economic development of the area.

Published: July 2019

The nitrate concentrations in shallow groundwater of the Yogyakarta City and its surroundings has increased to about twenty times in the period 1985-2018. The objective of this study was to analyse the distribution of nitrate concentrations in water well around the Code River, Yogyakarta. Flownets mapping was performed to find out the distribution and direction of potential groundwater pollution. Nitrate concentration was analysed by taking 18 groundwater samples scattered in the upstream, midstream and downstream areas of the Code River. The results of this study indicate that nitrate concentrations in the water well of upstream and downstream areas could still be used as a source of drinking water and recreation-irrigation-livestock. Meanwhile, the nitrate concentration in water well of the midstream area of the Code River, Yogyakarta City, mostly (80% of the sample) did not meet all classes of water quality standards. Human activities in the densely populated settlements were the main factors that influence nitrate pollution. Furthermore, groundwater flow in the study area leads from north to south and towards the Code River. This condition indicates that the nitrate concentrations in  the groundwater can be a source of a pollutant for the Code River.
Student Evaluations of Teaching: Is There a Relationship between Student Feedback on Teaching and the Student Final Grade?
Authors: Pullen Darren , Collette Steven , Dao Loan , F J -
Published: July 2019

The use of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SET) has become widespread practice in higher education despite inconclusive evidence reported in the literature around its validity. Not surprisingly, the question of the validity of SET continues to be a current debate in higher education, pointing to more research to be conducted in this area. The current study contributes to broadening knowledge and understanding on the validity of SET by drawing on an online unit evaluation completed by students (n=2430 out of total student enrolment of N=7757) in one university across three postgraduate education programs over a two-year period, to determine whether there is a relationship between student feedback on teaching and student final unit grade. Findings revealed that students who achieved very high or very low final unit grades did not participate in the SET, while students who achieved Pass or Credit grades partook in the SET, thus providing feedback. This indicates that teaching and evaluating staff need to be aware that a large subset of their students that are not providing feedback to staff to improve the quality of their courses.

Authors: Octaviana Dwi Warry
Published: July 2019

The study concerned with writing subject. Writing subject, at any level of education, is considered as more complicated than the other language skills- listening, speaking, and reading. Due to this problem, the purposes of the study investigated the students’ perceptions toward their writing ability in classroom setting and determined the students’ difficulties factors in learning writing. The study employed qualitative research design and gathered data by ways of classroom observations and questionnaire. The results of the study were that the respondents had good perceptions. They gave positive and negative statements toward the English writing subject. Their negative perceptions were related to the difficulties of English writing process. Meanwhile, the positive perceptions they were related to the enrichment of the knowledge when they strove to write English. The study also found that most respondents stated that they had difficulties in writing English. These difficulties were mainly caused by their limitation of English grammar and less of English vocabulary. Besides that, the less of practice to write became a prime reason why they got low achievement of English writing.

Los humedales artificiales son sistemas socio-ecológicos que proporcionan beneficios ambientales, sociales y económicos a los grupos humanos que los rodean. Los humedales se componen de elementos naturales como el agua, la vegetación, el suelo, entre otros. Además, de elementos humanos como la fuerza de trabajo humano, para su mantenimiento, la organización social, necesaria para el aprovechamiento de los beneficios, y de reglas de operación sobre el uso y manejo del agua. En este artículo los autores analizamos el caso de un humedal artificial localizado en una comunidad de origen indígena del centro de México. Este humedal existe desde hace dos décadas y fue construido por iniciativa de un grupo de indígenas mazahuas y una fundación orientada al mejoramiento de las sociedades vulnerables. Para realizar la investigación que sustenta este artículo se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, apoyada en la técnica de la entrevista. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la relación entre la fundación y la comunidad indígena fue exitosa, debido a que la creación y operación del humedal artificial es un ejemplo de la confianza, reciprocidad e interés por alcanzar un desarrollo local.

Cambios en la cobertura boscosa del bosque nublado en la Sierra de Neiba, República Dominicana
Authors: Familia Lemuel , Montilla Tomas , Clase Teodoro , Santana Gloria , Guerrero Ángela
Published: July 2019

La Sierra de Neiba es un área de gran relevancia para la conservación de la biodiversidad, por la particularidad de sus ecosistemas, flora y fauna. El Parque Nacional Sierra de Neiba se creó para conservar el bosque nublado latifoliado y de coníferas, su territorio está distribuido en cuatro provincias: Elías Piña, San Juan, Bahoruco e Independencia. Esta sierra ha sido deforestada por décadas, para múltiples fines (agricultura, extracción de madera preciosa, pastoreo, etc.). En el firme de la sierra se encontraba la mayor extensión de bosque nublado del país. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue determinar cómo ha cambiado la cobertura de la tierra, comparando datos disponibles de tres períodos distintos (1996, 2003 y 2012); analizar la disminución del bosque natural, el avance de la agricultura, la ganadería y demás actividades antrópicas; inventariar la flora de esta área protegida y describir los distintos tipos de asociaciones vegetales. Las asociaciones vegetales presentes son: bosque latifoliado nublado primario, bosque latifoliado nublado secundario, bosques de pinos, bosque latifoliado en regeneración avanzada, matorrales, pastizales abiertos con árboles dispersos y vegetación de sabanas. Se registraron 1,217 especies de plantas vasculares pertenecientes a 584 géneros en 129 familias de espermatophytas. Las pteridophytas están representadas por 202 especies y 55 géneros. Se registró un endemismo de 22.69%, mientras las nativas constituyen el 67.84%. Las especies exóticas representan el 5.67%. Los principales impactos que afectan la estabilidad del bosque nublado están relacionados con la expansión de la agricultura y la ganadería.

Проведены исследования влияния параметров вакуумного конденсационного напыления металлического покрытия с использованием стержневого резистивного испарителя на температуру полой детали во время формирования на поверхности отверстия слоя покрытия.Показано, что источниками нагрева обрабатываемой детали является тепловое излучение испарителя и теплота конденсации пара напыляемого металла.В общем случае соотношение величин теплового потока излучения испарителя и потока теплоты конденсации зависит от природы конденсируемого вещества и параметров напыления. Установлено, что при типичной технологии конденсационного хромирования стальной детали основной вклад в ее нагрев вносит тепловое излучение испарителя – 85-97 %; в меньшей степени деталь нагревается за счет теплоты конденсации хрома – 15-3 %.Проанализированы следующие параметры напыления, которые в разной степени влияют на тепловое состояние детали: начальный диаметр стержневого резистивного испарителя dисп0, температура испарителя Тисп, продолжительность нанесения покрытия tнан, начальная температура конденсации Тконд0, диаметр нагревателя Dнагр, температура нагревателя Тнагр, диаметр отверстия Dвн.дет, наружный диаметр детали Dдет.В результате исследований теплового состояния детали в процессе напыления конденсационного хромового покрытия, выполненных с применением метода математического моделирования, вычислены наиболее значимые параметры, определяющие рост температуры детали Тдет: а) температура испарителя Тисп и б) начальная температура конденсации Тконд0  покрытия.При изменении на 1 % наиболее значимого параметра – температуры испарителя Тисп – рост температуры детали Тдет в течение продолжительного времени формирования покрытия составляет от 0,44 до 1,18 %. Влияние второго значимого параметра – начальной температуры конденсации Тконд0  – на рост температуры детали несколько меньше. При этом степень влияния этого параметра при тех же условиях напыления покрытия постепенно уменьшается от 0,77 до 0,31 %. Роль других исследованных параметров напыления в изменении температуры детали малосущественна.Одним из рациональных путей уменьшения нежелательного перегрева детали во время конденсации покрытия является интенсификация технологических режимов напыления. За счет выбора максимально возможной температуры испарения Тисп достигается высокая скорость испарения Vисп напыляемого материала, и вследствие этого обеспечивается высокая скорость конденсации Vконд, сокращается продолжительность формирования покрытия требуемой толщины, а также снижается тепловая нагрузка на обрабатываемую деталь.

Neste ensaio, relemos o Sonho da Injeção de Irma, primeiro sonho de Freud submetido à análise e relatado em Interpretação dos sonhos [Die Treumdeutung]. Discutimos a relação memória, condensação e deslocamento nos processos primários do inconsciente do sonhador, a partir de postulados que Freud apresentou sobre o mecanismo de trabalho dos sonhos e sua relação com o funcionamento do aparelho psíquico, desenhado na primeira tópica, conhecida como Teoria Topográfica, e que deu respaldo e sustentação para a sua teoria sobre os sonhos.

As diferentes faces da sociedade francesa: as origens étnicas nos livros didáticos de Francês como Língua Estrangeira (The different faces of French society: the ethnic origins in the textbooks of French as a Foreign Language)
Authors: Rochebois Christianne Benatti
Published: July 2019

Neste artigo, apresentamos uma reflexão sobre a constituição da diversidade das origens que compõem a França atualmente em três livros de francês como língua estrangeira. Verificamos se eles fornecem ao aluno as chaves para conhecer e compreender as diferentes faces da sociedade francesa em relação à evolução da composição social da população. Com este objetivo, observamos como os livros didáticos introduzem e desenvolvem a diversidade de origens, o que reflete a diversidade cultural. A análise mostra que os livros didáticos permanecem na superfície dos fenômenos culturais e impõem modelos linguísticos e comportamentais não só apenas aos professores, mas também aos alunos.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Didática da linguagem. Diversidade cultural. Língua estrangeira francesa.
