Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT Water reuse is an important practice in water resource management especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The objective was to evaluate the mineral composition and boll weight of upland cotton (cultivar BRS 335) plants under fertigation with domestic sewage effluent and phosphate fertilization. An experiment was carried out using randomized block design in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme with six repetitions. Cotton plants were fertigated with three fertigation solutions containing domestic sewage effluent (RW) and supply water (SW) in the proportions of 100% SW - T1, 50% SW + 50% RW - T2 and 100% RW - T3, and two phosphate fertilizer managements (with and without phosphate fertilization at pre-planting). Macronutrient and micronutrient concentrations in the shoots and boll weight were measured and evaluated. Fertigation utilizing reuse water is able to supply both water and part of the nutritional demand of cotton plants. Calcium, copper, iron and zinc concentrations in cotton leaves were below the optimum range for the crop. Reuse water did not meet the total requirements of Ca, Cu, Fe and Zn of cotton, so complementary mineral supplementation with these nutrients is recommended for the crop to obtain high yield.

Authors: ORBOLATO Loiane Maria Zengo , MANZINI Eduardo José
Published: August 2020

RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar um programa de treinamento das técnicas básicas com a bengala em ambiente escolar. Uma estudante com 13 anos de idade, com cegueira congênita, matriculada no 6º ano/ 5ª série do Ensino Fundamental, participou do estudo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram os protocolos de avaliação das técnicas básicas de orientação e mobilidade. As avaliações ocorreram em três ambientes: corredores, sala de aula e pátio, e o design quase experimental foi composto por pré-teste, intervenção e pós-teste. A análise foi quantitativa para os desempenhos da estudante e, na intervenção, qualitativa para a escolha das estratégias de ensino. Os resultados do pré-teste apontaram que a estudante não teve dificuldades em executar os comportamentos básicos das técnicas propostas, porém deixou de realizar aqueles que são específicos, que foram o foco do treinamento. As estratégias de ensino foram explicações, instruções e apresentação de modelos cinestésicos. Os resultados do pós-teste apontaram que a estudante conseguiu executar a maioria dos comportamentos de todas as técnicas em todos os ambientes. Conclui-se que o programa de treinamento teve sucesso devido: ao tipo de estudo quase experimental, que possibilitou objetivamente a avaliação dos comportamentos; às fichas de registro e de filmagem, que garantiram o controle do processo de ensino; às estratégias de ensino empregadas; ao ensino e ao treinamento focado no ambiente natural da aluna cega. Dois pontos foram identificados como necessários para melhora do uso das técnicas: o tipo de vestimenta, os acessórios, os calçados da aluna e o tempo de treinamento.

Published: August 2020

RESUMO: Devido à importância da participação familiar nos programas de intervenção precoce, pesquisas têm estudado o tema da qualidade de vida familiar a fim de aprimorar o cuidado na primeira infância. O objetivo deste artigo foi, assim, relacionar as formas de organização das famílias para o processo de intervenção precoce com a qualidade de vida familiar, a partir do olhar de um familiar. É uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa, que utilizou dois instrumentos: a entrevista semiestruturada e a Escala de Qualidade de Vida Familiar (EQVF). Participaram do estudo dez familiares de dez crianças de zero a três anos com possíveis ou já presentes alterações do desenvolvimento atendidas no Centro Especializado em Reabilitação II - Deficiência Física e Intelectual (CER-II), de um município da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista. Verificou-se que a pontuação da EQVF se aproxima de outras pesquisas, com maior satisfação ao apoio relacionado à deficiência e menor satisfação com o bem-estar emocional, além da relação entre a presença de redes de apoio e a qualidade de vida familiar. Observou-se a predominância de ações fragmentadas entre os serviços, a baixa frequência escolar das crianças e a unanimidade de participação de familiares do gênero feminino; foram, também, ressaltados os obstáculos relacionados à sensação de sobrecarga e à falta de suporte.
Autismo, Narrativas Maternas e Ativismo dos Anos 1970 a 20081
Authors: LOPES Bruna Alves
Published: August 2020

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre aspectos históricos relacionados ao autismo no Brasil ao longo das décadas de 1970 a 2008. Analisamos duas autobiografias elaboradas por mães cujos filhos receberam o diagnóstico de autismo entre os anos 1970 e 1980. Os escritos dessas mulheres foram produzidos em momentos distintos (uma em 1988 e outra em 2008) e são aqui compreendidos como fontes pertinentes para se produzir histórias que iluminam questões relativas ao ativismo materno no período em foco a partir da perspectiva feminina. Concluímos que os dois documentos analisados demonstram que a família, no caso do espectro autista, foi um sujeito fundamental no desenvolvimento de uma incipiente rede de proteção aos autistas, em um momento de transição democrática no país. Apesar da distância temporal das narrativas, é possível verificar elementos em comum entre elas, como as motivações para escrever sobre o assunto, o papel das associações de mães e pais de autistas e as dificuldades em encontrar serviços adequados para as necessidades de seus filhos. Também se encontram nelas diferenças, principalmente no olhar acerca do ativismo materno.

Authors: Bastos Thalita da Rocha , Silva Maria Samara Alves da , Azevedo Camila Pantoja , Bordallo Lucas Emannuel dos Santos , Soeiro Ana Cristina Vidigal
Published: August 2020

Resumo: Introdução: A parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) é caracterizada pela interrupção brusca da circulação sistêmica e da respiração. Devido à redução de oxigênio e de nutrientes para os tecidos corporais, há maior risco de morte do indivíduo, o que torna a PCR uma grave emergência médica. Nesse contexto, a correta realização do suporte básico de vida no atendimento pré-hospitalar (APH) é de fundamental importância para diminuir a taxa de mortalidade e as sequelas em vítimas de PCR. Considerando a importância do assunto no ensino médico, o presente estudo teve o objetivo de identificar os conhecimentos dos estudantes de medicina sobre o tema, de modo a verificar se os discentes reconhecem os sinais indicativos de parada cardiorrespiratória; a sequência de medidas aplicadas durante o atendimento pré-hospitalar de vítimas em PCR e as técnicas indicadas para prestação do atendimento. Método: Trata-se de uma abordagem observacional, exploratória, descritiva e quantitativa, com uma amostra constituída por 245 alunos do curso de medicina da Universidade Estadual do Pará. Na realização da coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário contendo 18 questões, aplicado por meio da Plataforma Google Forms. Resultados: O conhecimento foi satisfatório, com acertos significativos nos semestres mais avançados do curso. Os conhecimentos mais limitados incluíram o manejo da técnica de compressão, uso correto do DEA e manobras de retificação das vias aéreas. Conclusões: Apesar da quantidade significativa de acertos, observou-se a necessidade de uma melhor abordagem do tema durante a formação médica, a fim de possibilitar a correta realização do atendimento pré-hospitalar às vítimas de PCR, haja vista sua importância nos cenários de urgência e emergência.

Abstract: Introduction: In the context of medical school, the development of methodologies that stimulate the students’ search for learning, autonomy and creativity are essential for medical education in Brazil. The study aims to describe the construction of infographics as a pedagogical proposal for the learning of organic human aging processes by medical students. Method: Medical students attending the 4th period at a Higher Education Institution built infographics, as a requirement for the practical content of the Aging Process module. The static-type infographic was adopted, following criteria such as the definition of the target audience; definition of the objective; choice of topic; selection of the most relevant information (focus); direct and accessible language; organized information; choices of color palettes and style and; infographic sketch. The entire creation process was supervised by the teacher in charge of the project, and evaluation criteria were previously established. Results: The class was divided into seven groups, resulting in the production of an infographic with a specific topic per group. The human aging topics were: Degenerative Joint Diseases, Bone Weakness, Pneumonia in the Elderly, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Vascular Dementia, Atherosclerosis and Herpes Zoster. It is worth noting that in addition to the creation, each group presented the final product to the other colleagues, explaining each item included in the static infographic. Conclusions: We observed that the students satisfactorily met the proposed evaluation requirements, demonstrating their involvement in the construction of infographics and, above all, in simple, creative and objective learning, using a powerful visual tool. We also add that the printed material will be used as aid in the histology laboratory and in extramural activities.

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT In the establishment of coffee crops, phosphate fertilization is one of the most important soil fertility managements. Aiming to minimize losses, among the options in use are fertilizers with a slow release of nutrients, combined with the inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This study aimed to evaluate the initial growth of coffee plants inoculated with AMF and submitted to different types of phosphate fertilizers. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using a complete randomized block design, in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor referred to the presence or absence of AMF (Rhizophagus clarus) and the second one to phosphate [monoammonium phosphate (MAP)], pelletized organomineral and grainy organomineral fertilizers, as well as a control (without fertilization). The plant height, leaf chlorophyll content, number of plagiotropic branches, leaf area, shoot and root dry matter mass, percentage of root colonization and leaf phosphorus were evaluated. The inoculation with AMF, associated with the pelletized organomineral fertilizer, provided a higher growth for the shoot and root system and higher phosphorus contents, in relation to the other treatments, and it can be an alternative to the implantation or renewal of coffee crops.
Effects of meteorological variables on sugarcane ripening in the Cauca river valley, Colombia
Authors: Muñoz Carlos Andrés Unigarro , Trujillo Fernando de Jesús Villegas
Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT Sugarcane ripening is conditioned by the interaction between biological factors of the crop and climate. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of some meteorological variables on the sucrose content, during the ripening period, in the Cauca river valley (Colombia). The evaluations were conducted at seven locations, during four periods, being each one a three-month period. The meteorological variables of maximum, mean and minimum air temperature, diurnal vapor pressure deficit and precipitation were evaluated with respect to the sucrose variable (% cane). The results showed that a low precipitation and a high vapor pressure deficit increased the sucrose content in the stems. High minimum temperatures during the maturation stage decreased the sucrose levels, although their effect was less noticeable than previously mentioned. The meteorological conditions in the different localities caused substantial differences in the sucrose concentration of the stems, especially during the beginning of the maturation phase. However, these differences were reduced by the age of the crop and by the periods of rainfall or drought occurrence.
UM CASO DE LEGITIMAÇÃO: TEIXEIRA E SOUSA POR MACHADO DE ASSIS (E PAULA BRITO)
Authors: RODRIGUES CRISTIANE NASCIMENTO
Published: August 2020

Resumo O presente artigo analisa uma tentativa de legitimação do poeta Antônio Gonçalves Teixeira e Sousa por Machado de Assis e seu editor Francisco de Paula Brito. Através do poema "O gênio adormecido", publicado na Marmota Fluminense em 1855, o então jovem poeta recolocou o nome de Teixeira e Sousa em circulação, dando evidência ao poema épico A Independência do Brasil, publicado em 1847 (Tomo I) e 1855 (Tomo II) por Paula Brito. Machado, assim como outros colaboradores do periódico, provavelmente escrevia de acordo com a mente do editor, compondo versos que, além de consagrar um mestre ou amigo, colocavam novamente seu nome em circulação.

Authors: Buss Juliana , Stoltz Tania
Published: August 2020

RESUMO Há um padrão de beleza hegemônico que circula pela sociedade, afetando a identidade das pessoas. Entretanto, os estudos sobre o tema giram em torno dos adultos. Com isso, é necessário investigar as percepções das crianças acerca dos padrões de beleza, enfatizando suas práticas e falas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória com 50 crianças (4, 6, 8, 10 e 12 anos), utilizando-se do Método Clínico (Jean Piaget), o qual permite uma investigação profunda. Os participantes foram solicitados a fazer um desenho, ver fotografias e responder a questões relacionadas a padrões de beleza. Notou-se que as crianças têm ideias próprias sobre a beleza e a feiura e que alteram essas percepções de acordo com a idade. Observou-se que os padrões e práticas culturais têm grande influência sobre as crianças, as quais são afetadas pelas mídias, construindo seus discursos através de vivências e aprendizados, tanto da família quanto da escola.
Nuevas categorías patrimoniales. La incidencia del soft law en la reciente reforma a la ley de patrimonio histórico y artístico de Argentina
Authors: Levrand Norma Elizabeth , Endere María Luz
Published: August 2020

Resumen La necesidad de modificar la ley de patrimonio histórico y artístico argentina fue un anhelo de larga data que se cristalizó en 2015. Un aspecto interesante de esta reforma es la incorporación de categorías patrimoniales y criterios que derivan de Cartas y Documentos Internacionales (originados en ICOMOS y UNESCO) que constituyen normas de soft law. Pese a que este tipo de normas no son vinculantes para los Estados, su introducción en la modificación de la ley permite analizar las características que asume la incidencia del soft law en el derecho interno argentino. En este marco, el objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar la introducción de un conjunto de normas de soft law en la mencionada ley y discutir su impacto desde el punto de vista conceptual, así como en la propia modalidad de gestión estatal. La incorporación de nuevas categorías patrimoniales y áreas de amortiguamiento, sumada a nuevas vías de acción administrativa (que incluyen la aplicación de mecanismos vigentes a nivel internacional y las activaciones patrimoniales), constituyen ejemplos elocuentes de un cambio paradigmático en la conceptualización del patrimonio, así como la concreción de una vía de actuación más flexible y de mayor autonomía para la autoridad de aplicación.
Standard probatório para condenação e dúvida razoável no processo penal: análise das possíveis contribuições ao ordenamento brasileiro
Authors: Vasconcellos Vinicius Gomes de
Published: August 2020

Resumo Este artigo pretende analisar o standard probatório para condenação no processo penal brasileiro e as possíveis contribuições da categoria “além da dúvida razoável” em caso de incorporação ao sistema nacional. Trata-se de temática pertinente, tendo em vista a ausência de regulamentação expressa no ordenamento pátrio e a recente abordagem doutrinária sobre a temática. Assim, almeja-se responder aos seguintes problemas: 1) É necessário adotar um standard probatório para condenação no processo penal brasileiro? 2) O standard de “prova além da dúvida razoável” é uma opção viável e pertinente? 3) Quais critérios podem ser utilizados para a definição de seu conteúdo? Sustenta-se que a adoção de um standard probatório com critérios lógicos e objetivos é passo fundamental para a consagração de uma teoria racional da prova, de modo que, ainda que existam críticas relevantes, a categoria “além da dúvida razoável” pode aportar importantes contribuições ao processo penal brasileiro. Nesse sentido, este artigo propõe critérios para sua definição e apresenta sugestão de alteração legislativa.

Resumo Introdução: o Equador realizou recentemente seu primeiro inquérito sobre condições de trabalho. Objetivo: descrever as condições de trabalho e emprego e o estado de saúde dos trabalhadores equatorianos em uma amostra que permita comparação com inquéritos latino-americanos anteriores. Métodos: uma amostra de 1.713 trabalhadores foi selecionada do primeiro inquérito sobre condições de trabalho no Equador. Prevalências e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) foram calculados e comparados com inquéritos anteriores na Colômbia, Argentina, Chile, América Central e Uruguai. Resultados: homens foram frequentemente mais expostos a trabalho em condições perigosas, sendo as mais relatadas trabalho com ruído (81% dos homens e 69% das mulheres) e com movimentos repetitivos (56% dos homens e 48% das mulheres). Cerca de 31% dos homens e 19% das mulheres trabalhavam mais de 40 horas por semana. Quase 11% das mulheres e dos homens relataram uma autopercepção de saúde ruim. A prevalência de agravos ocupacionais foi a mais alta da região: 15% para homens e 8,4% para mulheres. Conclusão: este é um primeiro levantamento das condições de trabalho e emprego e do estado de saúde de trabalhadores no Equador. Harmonizar e aperfeiçoar os Inquéritos sobre Condições de Trabalho na América Latina deve ser uma meta prioritária para melhorar a vigilância em saúde do trabalhador na região.
Hardness correlation length in a self-compacting concrete
Authors: Junges Bruna Maria Becker , Ficher Nadine Machado , Kosteski Luis Eduardo , Marangon Ederli
Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT: This paper presents an experimental study of spatial variation of hardness or indentation strength of a self-compacting concrete. With the pourpose of validation, the comparison between the used methodologies with the values obtained by numerical simulation is presented. The correlation length (Lcor) obtained on the semivariogram using a Gaussian model is similar to the numerically simulated value, especially when the distance between the measurements is less than the sought Lcor. Using sclerometry, it was possible to infer that to find the value of concrete correlation length it is necessary to measure nearby points, at ca. 2cm apart. With this scheme, the value of Lcor found is close to the obtained using macro-indentation, a more complex and time-consuming procedure. Finally, for the studied self-compacting concrete, the correlation length is equivalent to a value between 5 to 6 times the maximum aggregate size.

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT: The consumption of natural resources and energy increased proportionally with the growth of the world population and its economic level. There was an increasing exponential consumption of natural resources, which implied an increase in environmental impacts. The construction sector is responsible for a very significant production of construction and demolition waste (CDW). Thus, there is a concern in search of a more sustainable final disposal. Many studies have been investigated the development of new materials with the incorporation of recycled aggregates from CDW. This paper presents a study of performance evaluation of concrete blocks produced with CDW. For that purpose, an experimental campaign was performed, including a characterization of the aggregates used. The incorporation of 100% of fine and coarse recycled aggregates. The mixtures were designed according to the condition of the aggregate (dry, washed or saturated). The performance of these blocks was evaluated in terms of mechanical strength and water absorption. Some additional tests were also performed to deeper analyze of the microstructure of these blocks. To assess the durability of the concrete blocks, a full-scale road was built. The results were very positive, since there were no significant differences between the modified concrete blocks and the reference sample (0% of the CDW). The modified block with fine aggregate presented the best performance of all the blocks, concerning mechanical strength. In addition, the performance of concrete blocks with washed recycled aggregates had a better performance compared to the others. The results obtained were satisfactory for the application of the blocks in the streets with low movement and low load.

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT: The PbO-SrO-B2O3 glass system with the of molar ratio of R (= PbO/B2O3) were prepared by fusion method. The elastic properties have been investigated using longitudinal and transversal ultrasonic wave velocity. Measurements were performed at room temperature and using pulse-echo technique at frequency of 5 MHz. The results indicate that, when increasing R value, the glass network stability decreases. This decrease indicates, of the increase the number of borate structures with non bridging oxygen (NBOs) at the expense of the decrease of borate units with tetrahedral structures. This feature may lead to the more open glass network structures and lower stiffness of the samples studied.
Multilateralismo, ordem mundial e Covid-19: questões atuais e desafios futuros para a OMS
Authors: Almeida Celia , Pires de Campos Rodrigo
Published: August 2020

Este ensaio discute a atuação da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) à luz dos debates sobre a ordem mundial capitalista e o multilateralismo, analisando o enfrentamento de pandemias (incluída a Covid-19) na dinâmica do sistema interestatal em um mundo heterogêneo, com assimetrias de riqueza e poder e conduzido por potências hegemônicas. A hipótese de trabalho é que as mudanças na credibilidade da OMS, e da ONU, e as reivindicações de reformas têm antecedentes que remontam à última década do século XX e estão intimamente relacionadas às questões referentes à governança global, geral e setorial, que, por sua vez, se vinculam às transformações do multilateralismo e da ordem mundial capitalista ao longo do pós-guerra e no pós-guerra fria. Utiliza-se uma abordagem histórica crítica, na perspectiva do sistema-mundo, amparada em revisão de literatura e em documentos oficiais da OMS. Conclui-se que fragilização da organização e o constante escrutínio a que está submetida há décadas, para além de falhas pontuais ou de ‘falta de capacidade’, resultam de uma dupla dinâmica, interna e externa, e podem ser melhor compreendidas no contexto de desafios impostos pelas transformações da ‘nova ordem mundial liberal’ pós-guerra fria, associada ao avanço dos nacionalismos e do capitalismo global.
Siembra dolorosa y cosecha jubilosa: Perspectivas Teológicas en el Salmo 126
Authors: Alomía Bartra Merling Kid
Published: August 2020

El Salmo 126 forma parte de un grupo de 15 salmos conocidos como los “cánticos de ascenso” y éste es también considerado como un “salmo peregrino” debido a que era entonado con frecuencia durante el peregrinaje anual de los israelitas a jerusalén. Sin embargo, el tema central de este salmo se enfoca en la salvación final de Yhwh que llenará a los redimidos con un exultante gozo (Salmo 126:1, 2) cuando el mismo redentor desbordará con un regocijo inexpresable (126.6b). todo esto es introducido con una referencia críptica de una cautividad mayor que la del exilio que eventualmente será cambiada por Yhwh y producirá efectos cósmicos de transformación y gozo. en el Salmo 126, el salmista capta un destello del día glorioso de la parousía, cuando finalmente la bienaventurada esperanza (tito 2:13) será disfrutada en todas su plenitud, y la cautividad de Sion haya sido restaurada y sea disfrutada por los santos a través de la eternidad en los nuevos cielos y la tierra nueva.

“EL ‘LEÓN DE JUDÁ’: ENTENDIENDO GÉNESIS 48:9-14”
Authors: Pröbstle Martin
Published: August 2020

La bendición dada a Judá como parte del testamento de Jacob contiene varios rasgos destacados que son analizados e interpretados en este estudio. Resulta evidente que Judá recibe la bendición de la primogenitura sin ser primer hijo de Jacob y esto a su vez destaca dos rasgos del estatus del primogénito en Israel: primero, la distinción y el privilegio de ser el primogénito en Israel, con sus respectivas bendiciones; y segundo, su vínculo innegable con el primogénito por excelencia, el Mesías. Jacob no escatima expresiones ni terminología para referirse a su escogido primogénito e igualmente, al que él representa concediéndole fertilidad, superioridad y dominio tanto sobre sus hermanos como sobre las naciones. Pero lo que más destaca la bendición en la descendencia de Judá es el venidero rey mesiánico Shiloh que regirá su reino con justicia y paz, y que además será duradero y justo. El vínculo mesiánico posterior que todos los demás profetas hacen con esta bendición, es por demás evidente, pues al señalar al rey aquí descrito con su consiguiente reinado, todos lo caracterizan apropiadamente con el gobernante mesiánico venidero que Jacob singular y apropiadamente denomina el “León de Judá”.

Published: August 2020

Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion. They also have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary function of interleukins is, therefore, to modulate growth, differentiation, and activation during inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukins consist of a large group of proteins that can elicit many reactions in cells and tissues by binding to high-affinity receptors in cell surfaces. They have both paracrine and autocrine function. Interleukins are also used in animal studies to investigate aspect related to clinical medicine.[1] T cells produce IL-2. The principal targets are T cells. Its primary effects are T-cell proliferation and differentiation, increased cytokine synthesis, potentiating Fas-mediated apoptosis, and promoting regulatory T cell development. It causes proliferation and activation of NK cells and B-cell proliferation and antibody synthesis. Also, it stimulates the activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes and macrophages. .[1] Reference 1.

ELISA for quantification of IL-22 in human serum. v1
Authors: A Justiz-Vaillant Angel
Published: August 2020

Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion. They also have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary function of interleukins is, therefore, to modulate growth, differentiation, and activation during inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukins consist of a large group of proteins that can elicit many reactions in cells and tissues by binding to high-affinity receptors in cell surfaces. NK cells and CD4+ T lymphocytes make IL-21. It acts on various immune cells of innate and the adaptive immune systems. IL-21 promotes B and T lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation. It enhances NK cell activity. [1] Reference 1. Justiz Vaillant AA, Qurie A. Interleukin. In:StatPearls. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; June 12, 2019.

The Independent Scholar as Change Agent: The Case of Foreign Language Advocacy
Authors: Stein-Smith Kathleen
Published: August 2020

There is a foreign language deficit in the United States, and the independent scholar, with both motivation and expertise, can play a significant role as a foreign language advocate, able to bridge the gap between communities and academia, and to operate with relatively more freedom that many language stakeholders, embedded in educational institutions and business environments. The skills set, or core competencies, of the independent scholar-advocate, the importance of online communities and advocacy, and agility in effective advocacy are examined. The case of foreign language advocacy could be generalized to include many other areas where the independent scholar can play a significant role as change agent for the greater good in our society and in our world
A Minimalist Analysis of Verbal Complementation in Igbo
Authors: Ndiribe Matthew Onyebuchi
Published: August 2020

The study investigates the verbal complementation in Igbo using the Minimalist perspective. In discussing the subject matter, such concepts as verb complementation, reflexive complementation and infinitival complementation are analysed. The objectives of the study are to find out how co-occurrence restrictions, thematic roles, theta criterion, subcategorisation frame and c-command could play crucial roles in selecting the complements of verbs. The study made use of written data, oral communication and introspection as the methods of data collection. The research adopted the standard Igbo as the area of study. The data are analysed using word- for- word English transliteration and then followed by English semantic gloss. The study discovers that the Igbo verbal complementation obeys the rules of adjacency and c-command. The verbs subcategorise its complements based on the relationships existing between the verbs and the complements. The head verb and its complement establish the path of union and intersection in the syntactic form. The concept of theta criterion determines the true nomenclature of the subjects in linguistic structures.
Communicative Language Teaching: Do Tasks and Activities in School Textbooks Facilitate Learners’ Development of Communicative Competence?
Authors: Nguyen Cang Trung , Le Diem Thi Kieu
Published: August 2020

This paper reports a theoretical evaluation and findings from teachers’ and students’ evaluations of activities and tasks in English 6, an English textbook from a series of four textbooks which have been used as the compulsory textbooks for all students from grades 6 to 9 (ages 12 to 16) in all junior secondary schools in Vietnam since 2001 (Nguyen, 2005). It presents results from a study which involved 8 teachers and 126 students in four secondary schools in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Combining a theoretical evaluation and the analysis of the data collected from the questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and classroom observation. It is concluded that there is a lack of a variety of activities and tasks and they mostly focus on form. Therefore, they do not help develop learners’ communicative competence. The present study also draws implications regarding how to use teaching materials effectively for EFL/ESL for developing learners’ communicative competence.
Intonation in Hong Kong English and Guangzhou Cantonese-accented English: A Phonetic Comparison
Authors: Ran Yunyun , Weijer Jeroen Van De , Sloos Marjoleine
Published: August 2020

Hong Kong English is to a certain extent a standardized English variety spoken in a bilingual (English-Cantonese) context. In this article we compare this (native) variety with English as a foreign language spoken by other Cantonese speakers, viz. learners of English in Guangzhou (mainland China). We examine whether the notion of standardization is relevant for intonation in this case and thus whether Hong Kong English is different from Cantonese English in a wider perspective, or whether it is justified to treat Hong Kong English and Cantonese English as the same variety (as far as intonation is concerned). We present a comparison between intonational contours of different sentence types in the two varieties, and show that they are very similar. This shows that, in this respect, a learned foreign-language variety can resemble a native variety to a great extent.
A Study of Corrective Feedback in Integrated English Classrooms
Authors: Liu Xiaoling , Peng Liqiao
Published: August 2020

The study is designed to explore the main CF types frequently used by teachers in Integrated English classrooms, whether CF types are related to learner error types and whether there is a discrepancy in acceptability of CF types between teachers and students. Based on the analysis, the major findings are obtained as follows: (1) teachers frequently used recast and elicitation in Integrated English classrooms, which occupied 37.1% and 22.3% respectively; (2) CF types were related to learner error types. Teachers in Integrated English Classrooms adopted recast and explicit correction more frequently to deal with phonological errors, elicitation to correct lexical errors, metalinguistic feedback to do with grammatical errors and explicit correction to treat pragmatic errors; (3) there exists discrepancy in acceptability of CF types across different errors between teachers and students in Integrated English classrooms. Teachers accepted elicitation most to deal with lexical, grammatical and pragmatic errors while students accepted explicit correction to correct these errors. The study results bring implications for teachers to make use of CF to improve the pedagogical effects and help students produce more comprehensive output for the language acquisition development.
Pragmatics and Language Teaching
Authors: Farinde Raifu O. , Oyedokun-Alli Wasiu A.
Published: August 2020

The main goal of language teaching is that at the end of the period of learning, the learners should be able to communicate in that language effectively. The main source of language is language use. The students must therefore be given plenty of opportunity to use the language. This is where the principles of pragmatics come into language teaching. Pragmatics provides ample opportunities for the students to learn English language communicatively and practically. In this study, I shall focus particularly on the application of pragmatics to language teaching with emphasis on Gricean pragmatics and Searle’s speech acts. The question of why pragmatics should be assigned a more prominent place in language teaching syllabus is also sufficiently and adequately addressed.
The posters of May ’68 and their significance for a contemporary critique of capitalism
Authors: Irwin Jones
Published: August 2020

This essay explores the original political significance of the posters of May ’68 as a critique of capitalism, as well as extending this approach to a critique of contemporary capitalism in 2020. The slogans of ’68 are deceptively simple and we look to the importance of the political ideas expressed aesthetically as having immediate impact in the late 1960s, but also the underlying Situationist philosophy which influenced them.We also explore the contemporary significance of Situationist theory, especially in the context of the renewal of Marxist thought in the 21st century. This renewed Leftist critique of capitalism emerges as articulated through newer social and political movements of the current times, particularly through the political philosophy of Slavoj Žižek and his auto-critique of the former Yugoslavia.
