The Conceptual Modeling of Interoperability Framework of Heart Sound Monitor (Preprint)
Authors: Feng Hailing , Shi Bozhi , Cao Xiaoying , Hong Xinyi , Duan Xiaolian , Zhong Daidi
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND

Heart sound monitor (HSM), a device suitable for home-use, can be used to record heart sounds and to store, transmit or analyze those recordings. It enables cardiac reserve telemonitoring which has been largely evolved and widely used in recent years. Nevertheless, the designers of HSM paid little attention to the consistency of its information model and data interaction, and because of that, the collected heart sounds data could not be shared and aggregated effectively. Thus, the device’s development and its application in telehealth service are hindered.

OBJECTIVE

In order to solve the above problem and to build interoperability for HSM devices, this paper proposes a HSM interoperability framework that is composed of the hierarchical information model and the transport-independent interaction model, which is constructed by using standardized modeling methods.

METHODS

The authors collected and studied the common device-output information of HSM involved in the cardiac reserve telemonitoring, leveraged the standardized interoperability framework defined in ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Device (11073-PHD) standards to model the static data structure and dynamic interaction behaviors of HSM.

RESULTS

Via the meta analysis, the authors identified that the common device-output information of HSM mainly includes the phonocardiogram (PCG), the feature parameters of PCG, the ratio of diastolic to systolic duration (D/S), for example, and the threshold data, device status, sensor location, etc. Based on such information, an 11073-PHD-compliant domain information model has been successfully created. This enables the interoperability between HSM and aggregation device, allowing inter-device plug&play using service model and communication model. A prototype of this design has been implemented and validated via the Continua Enabling Software Library.

CONCLUSIONS

The ISO/IEEE 11073-PHD standard framework has the potential to accommodate the HSM device. The standard-compliant domain information models can be established to cover the common HSM device-output information. Findings in this paper may be taken as a reference for standard developing organizations to establish a standardized interoperability framework for HSM.
Kidney Biomarkers and Decline in eGFR in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Published: January 2018

Background and objectives

Biomarkers may improve identification of individuals at risk of eGFR decline who may benefit from intervention or dialysis planning. However, available biomarkers remain incompletely validated for risk stratification and prediction modeling.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We examined serum cystatin C, urinary kidney injury molecule–1 (uKIM-1), and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (UNGAL) in 5367 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and recent acute coronary syndromes enrolled in the Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes with Alogliptin versus Standard of Care (EXAMINE) trial. Baseline concentrations and 6-month changes in biomarkers were also evaluated. Cox proportional regression was used to assess associations with a 50% decrease in eGFR, stage 5 CKD (eGFR<15 ml/min per 1.73 m2), or dialysis.

Results

eGFR decline occurred in 98 patients (1.8%) over a median of 1.5 years. All biomarkers individually were associated with higher risk of eGFR decline (P<0.001). However, when adjusting for baseline eGFR, proteinuria, and clinical factors, only baseline cystatin C (adjusted hazard ratio per 1 SD change, 1.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.41 to 1.96; P<0.001) and 6-month change in urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (adjusted hazard ratio per 1 SD change, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 1.12; P=0.004) independently associated with CKD progression. A base model for predicting kidney function decline with nine standard risk factors had strong discriminative ability (C-statistic 0.93). The addition of baseline cystatin C improved discrimination (C-statistic 0.94), but it failed to reclassify risk categories of individuals with and without eGFR decline.

Conclusions

The addition of cystatin C or biomarkers of tubular injury did not meaningfully improve the prediction of eGFR decline beyond common clinical factors and routine laboratory data in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome.

Ritmos enredados da vida em Dakar. Sujeito, comunidade e tempo em La poubelle (1984), de Pape Pathé Diop
Authors: Goumegou Susanne
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho demonstra a partir da análise do romance La poubelle (1984) de Pape Pathé Diop que a descrição de estruturas e funções da cidade do Sul global requer não apenas categorias espaciais, mas também temporais. Partindo das metáforas norteadoras transitividade, ritmo diário e footprint effects („efeitos de pegada“) desenvolvidas pelos geógrafos urbanos Amin und Thrift (2002), assim como do conceito de time of entanglement de Achille Mbembes, serão analisados os diferentes regimes e enredamentos temporais que se mostram relevantes na relação do sujeito com a comunidade em Dakar. Através do nível da temporalidade, o retrato de Dakar no romance de Diop consegue integrar a dimensão histórica e os enredamentos globais da cidade.
HISTORY FOR AN ENGINEER (THE ISSUE ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THE COURSE "HISTORY" IN A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY)
Authors: Рыбина Мария , Rybina Mariya
Published: January 2018

The article analyses the possible ways of the educational content formation of classes in terms of the competence-oriented approach on the example of the course "History". Modern educational standards of higher education do not regulate the content of Humanities in technical universities, and general cultural competence, which Humanities should develop, as a rule, are aimed at teaching a kind of cross-professional (interdisciplinary) skills directly unrelated to any specific knowledge and therefore not involving the strict theme of the lectures or practical classes. Under these conditions, the specific content of courses is not just creative task of the individual teacher, it is transformed into the broad and principled for humanitarian knowledge discussion about the need for the development of the Humanities for a future engineer and about the possible specifics of the teaching these courses in technical universities. The author considers it is necessary to allocate a special kind of an engineer’s activity as design and to form the content of the Humanities based on the specifics of the engineering profession. Elaborating on this thesis, the author identifies the following objectives of the course "History" in a Technical University: classes of History should give a future specialists a clear understanding that his activities has the conditionality of the social context. Classes should generate the positive perception of engineering and the engineering profession, and finally they should contribute to the methodological training of the student. The macro-explaining model of historical development underlying the content of the course can serve these tasks. This model can actualize a historical material with the best for the future engineer's perspective – modernization theory, the stages of economic growth, etc., the achievements of the new social history, including biographical or local history, aiming at the reconstruction of the past from a position of studying including various professional groups and interdisciplinary approaches (synergetic approach), the expansion of the international context of the study of native history.
Postmoderne regnskaber?

Post-modern accounting?

Society is immanently pluralistic in the post-modern perspective. Any attempt to create an unambiguous order will be met by resistance by those whose interests are not taken into account by this order. This resistance must be overcome in order to create and sustain society. Objects such as texts and numeric representations play an important role in this process since they may be seen as indisputable and immutable representations of reality. Financial statements may be seen as such objects within the business sphere. Financial statements give the many interested parties a “true and fair view” of a company’s economic position. The precondition for this is that financial statements are considered an objective representation of reality and that an independent audit may verify this. However, it is argued that financial statements may be seen as a social construction and that this ontology will spread in post-modern society. The article discusses whether accounting as an institution can survive this development and what consequences development may have on the way society is organised.
Den skjulte relegion

The hidden religion

This article discusses the concepts of religion and belief in contemporary everyday understanding and in the science of religion. The article outlines three different ways of understanding religion: religion as an awareness of ultimate values, religion as a system of ideas and a ritual practice and lastly religion as a social institutional domain in secular society. These three different dimensions of religion are compared to recent anthropological critique of reification of the concept of culture, and the article sug-gests that the study of religion in contemporary society offers special attention to the first dimension. In the tradition of Emile Durkheim and Thomas Luckmann, this focus allows special focus on modern, secular forms of reli-gion inside and outside traditional religious institutions. This point is illustrated with examples of different ways of believing in the Danish Luthern Evangelical Church. The examples show that there is a rich variety of (conflicting) ways of believing, which are hidden from studies that focus on the second and third dimension of religion
Rumlige dimensioner i det sociale cyberspace

Stine Gotved: Spatial dimensions in social cyberspace

The temporal and spatial dimensions of online communication establish the basic conditions for social life within cyberspace communities. Looking at the protocol-based constructions – whether they are communicating in real time or in asynchronous mode and whether they hold a shared location – it is clear that spatial construction matters for the sense of community. Parallel to offline life, the spatial dimensions in online communities are important for how the individual navigates, relates, and communicates. This article presents a typology of online space, in which three different kinds of spatial dimensions are defined. These three spatial dimensions can be found in most (if not all) online communities in varying degrees, and analysis of the patterns of spatial dimension within an online community provides useful information about the basic terms of social life within that community. The typology is discussed in light of Henri Lefebvre's work on spatiality and social space, in order to uncover the implicit inspirations as well as the limitations of his approach by the inclusion of offline spatial sociology. The typology presented here serves as an analytical tool to separate the different spatial dimensions of cyberspace, and hopefully holds the key to understanding many of the differences within online social life.

Birgitta Frello: Identities about War

This article concerns the analysis of discursive constructions of collective identity. The first part of the article argues that collective identity is relationally constituted through the distinction between Self and Other and that a strategy for analysing constructions of collective identity should be able to grasp discursive ambiguities and dislocations. Two analytical strategies are recommended. One is a focus on the discursive strategies of essentialization and dessentialization. The other is to distinguish between categorization and characterization. The second part of the article presents an analysis of discursive constructions of identity in four Danish TV audience discussion programmes debating the Kosovo war and broadcasted during the conflict. The analysis applies the two strategies developed in the first part of the article, and shows how these strategies can shed light on ambiguities and dislocations in discursive constructions or identity and thereby off a contribution to the understanding of such constructions.
Downside of corporate performance management practices in low-income markets
Authors: Mazambani Last , Mutambara Emmanuel
Published: January 2018

Based on theoretical literature review, the paper demonstrates the misgiving of market economy corporate performance management practices when applied in poor markets. Western developed management practices are incongruent to serve poor customers in low-income markets. The findings of the literature review are that these management systems are exclusionary and conflict with sustainable development as they reject the poor as unprofitable and worthless to pursue as customers. In addition, they are based on antiquated assumptions and contradict ideologies and cultural contexts of the poor. In recent times, corporates are under pressure to enter low-income markets as developed markets get saturated. The poor are, however, significantly different from the affluent customers obtained in higher income segments. Corporates find themselves poorly equipped to succeed. Because poor markets are only latent, firms are expected to do more in order to create value than they would do when entering developed markets. The paper provides recommendations for the firms from developed markets to adjust their performance management practices in order to be successful in emerging markets.
Kellenek-e archívumok a digitális korban?

Az archívumi elmélet és gyakorlat jelentős kihívásokkal szembesül, amiben kiemelt szerepe van az információs és kommunikációs technológiák gyors fejlődésének és elterjedésének. A mai “digitális forradalom” közegében az információs szuperhatalmak és a techno-optimista vizionáriusok jóslatai szerint minden információ rögzítésre és megőrzésre kerül, és bárhol, bármikor elérhető lesz. Az egymást követő archívumi paradigmák domináns információs műveleteinek elemzése azt mutatja, hogy a mai internetalapú szolgáltatások az archívumi intézmények összes fő funkcióját tömeges méretekben replikálják, legalábbis az alapvető információs műveletek szintjén. Mindezen fejlemények ellenére a szerző úgy érvel, hogy a digitális korban az archívumokat nem fenyegeti a megszüntetés vagy a funkcióvesztés veszélye, és nem csupán az intézményi tradíciók miatt, hanem a kontextus megőrzésében és a fizikai példányok őrzésében betöltött szerepük, továbbá intézményi felelősségük miatt, ami a jövőben is fontos társadalmi, jogi és igazgatási igény marad.

Do we need archives in the digital age?

Archival theory and practice are facing significant challenges due to the rapid development and application of information and communication technologies. Today, in the “digital revolution” the information superpowers and the techno-optimistic visionaries prognosticate that all information will be recorded and preserved forever, and made available anywhere, any time. The analysis of the dominant information operators of the archival institutions in the respective paradigms of archival history shows that today’s internet-based services can replicate all the main functions of the archival institutions, at least at the level of the fundamental information operators, on a mass scale. Despite these developments, the author argues that archives are under no direct threat of being closed down or of losing their function in the digital age, not only because of institutional inertia and traditions, but also because their role in preserving context and preserving physical copies, and their institutional responsibility will continue to be an important social, legal and administrative requirement in the future, too.

Brand Naming Behavior Defining SMMEs in eThekwini
Authors: Kunene Lindiwe N. , Phiri Maxwell
Published: January 2018

Branding is an integral part to the success of any and every business. Appropriate brand strategies contribute to brand equity of the organization leading to increased turnover and profits of positive turnover for organizations. Application of properly planned brand naming processes could save SMMEs and reduce the high failure rate experienced by this sector, in South Africa currently. Branding helps businesses to define who they are and guides their overall strategy. Branding strategies begin with the brand naming process. There are scientifically proven models that govern this process which have been used by successful businesses, globally. This study sought to find the current brand naming processes as implemented by SMMEs in the eThekwini Municipality area in Durban, South Africa. This was the first step in developing a model for brand naming for SMMEs in eThekwini. The study therefore used descriptive-exploratory ethos to conduct the research, guided by the epistemological, ontological and axiological assumptions. Demographic dimensions, ownership of the brand naming process, traits in the naming process and brand naming strategies considered were used to reach conclusions that define these entities in eThekwini. Research outcomes found that a lack of resources and knowledge were the main impediments distorting appropriate brand naming processes.
Wpływ miąższości reaktywnej warstwy drenażowej na odpływ fosforanów z zielonego dachu

The green roof runoff may be contaminated with phosphorus. The source of P pollution can be a substrate layer. The research was carried out to determine an optimal ratio of P-reactive drainage layer (RM) to substrate layer (S) in a green roof construction. The main goal of conducted column experiment, was to examine P-removal efficiency of drainage layers in different thickness. The green roof material used in the experiment is a commercially available substrate for intensive roofs. It has been confirmed that the substrate can act as a source of phosphorus occurring in leachate from green roofs. It has been found that the P-reactive drainage layer of Polonite® in thickness of 2 and 5 cm reduces phosphate load in runoff. The load of phosphorus discharged from the columns amounted to 0.091; 0.032 and 0.02 mg P-PO4 for K1 (S:RM=10:1), K2 (S:RM=10:2) and K3 (S:RM=10:5). Layer of the substrate relative to reactive material layer of 10: 2 was considered as an optimal solution. In relation to the quality of water supplied an increase of pH and conductivity in runoff was observed. The P-reactive drainage layer and its thickness had no effect on these parameters. All the columns reduced water outflow by approximately 40% compared to the volume of simulated precipitation.
The Scope and Conditions of the European Union's Innovation Policy
Authors: Wiatrak Andrzej
Published: January 2018

This article aims to present the nature and the many directions of support for innovation processes in the EU on the one hand and to indicate the orientations of this support that could be used by Poland, including by agribusiness, on the other. The article covers the following: the nature, objectives and tools of innovation policy implementation, evolution of the European Union’s innovation policy, characteristics of EU innovation policy measures after 2010, and characteristics of EU innovation policy measures in agribusiness after 2010. It is clear from the discussion herein that innovative actions and their support in the EU encompass not only technological but also social and environmental issues, with innovation and its support being the cornerstones of various policies, hence it is important to address them systemically. In particular, tools for implementing innovation policy and innovation partnerships at various levels play a role in this respect. The article is based on the related literature as well as documents and materials concerning the EU’s innovation policy.
Between integration, security and humanitarianism: Serbian citizens’ attitudes towards migrants
Authors: Petrovic Jelisaveta , Pesic Jelena
Published: January 2018

Almost a million people from Middle East and North Africa have passed through
the territory of Serbia on their way to Western Europe during 2015 and 2016.
Although Serbia has predominantly been a transit country for migrants, this
recent passage of a large number of people, as well as a longer retention of
some migrants, opened up a number of questions on capacities for emergent
acceptance but also on long term integration of this population. The paper
examines the characteristics of citizens? attitudes towards the migrant
population with the intention of determining which perspective - security,
humanitarian or integrative - is being distinguished as a dominant one? Under
the security perspective, it is understood that migrants pose a potential
risk for the security of domestic population. The humanitarian perspective
refers to a belief that migrants need to be provided with necessary
assistance on their way to destination countries. The third, integrative
perspective represents the ?most open? attitude towards migrants and implies
that it is necessary to provide the opportunity for more permanent
integration of the migrant population. In addition to that, the paper
examines the existence of statistically significant variations in the degree
of acceptance of the attitudes measuring mentioned perspectives in terms of
socio-demographic and socio-cultural factors. The analysis is based on the
data collected through the survey conducted in the spring of 2016 on a
representative sample of Serbian citizens (without Kosovo) that numbered 998
respondents. Findings show that the humanitarian perspective is the most
prevalent in the population, which is in line with the transitional character
of migration. Ethnic distance is the most influential factor in shaping
attitudes towards migrants. This finding indicates that attitudes toward
migrants are more the result of the socio-psychological factors than the
micro-structural factors or the demographic and cultural characteristics.
Furthermore, this finding points to the deeper historical roots of factors
shaping the examined perspectives, but also indicates the directions of
potential positive action through the breaking of negative stereotypes and
formulation of adequate strategies for the promotion of multicultural
societies.
Políticas para a (não) manutenção da língua alemã em Marechal Cândido Rondon

Neste trabalho serão abordadas discussões em torno das políticas linguísticas e educacionais que envolvem o ensino e aprendizagem da língua alemã no município de Marechal Cândido Rondon (PR) a partir da implantação do CELEM e do curso universitário de licenciatura de Letras Português/Alemão. A abordagem teórica está amparada na Sociolinguística com atenção voltada a contextos de minorias linguísticas, a partir de análises interpretativistas advindas da Tese de Doutoramento defendida em 2015. Como conclusão, tem-se que, apesar das inciativas supracitadas, para tentativa de manutenção da língua de imigração da comunidade, contatou-se a falta de adequação das propostas para um ensino  culturalmente sensível, o que tem ocasionado salas de aulas esvaziadas, evidenciando também que os falantes estão deixando de aprender e ensinar alemão tanto em contextos formais (nos cursos existentes) quanto em contextos informais (em seus lares e na comunidade).

Published: January 2018

The need to monitor aggregate financial stability was made clear during the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, and, of course, the need to monitor individual financial firms from a microprudential standpoint remains. However, linkages between financial firms cannot be observed or measured easily. In this paper, we propose a procedure that generates measures of connectedness between individual firms and for the system as a whole based on information observed only at the firm level; i.e., no explicit linkages are observed. We show how bank outcome variables of interest can be decomposed, including with mixed-frequency models, for how network analysis to measure connectedness across firms. We construct two such measures: one based on a decomposition of bank stock returns, the other based on a decomposition of their quarterly return on assets. Network analysis of these decompositions produces measures that could be of use in financial stability monitoring as well as the analysis of individual firms' linkages.
Model Dinamis Produksi Jagung di Indonesia
Authors: Rahmah Devi Maulida , Rizal Fahmi , Bunyamin Anas
Published: January 2018

Peningkatan jumlah permintaan Jagung didominasi oleh permintaan dari sektor industri pakan ternak. Hal ini disebabkan semakin berkembangnya sektor industri ini.Luas panen Jagung pada periode 2005 – 2015 mengalami perlambatan yaitu dengan rata – rata pertumbuhan sekitar 1,76%. Hal ini menunjukkan semakin terbatasnya lahan untuk perluasan jagung. Berdasarkan data yang diperoleh dari Pusat Data dan informasi Pertanian kementerian Pertanian RI menyebutkan bahwa penurunan luas panen terendah terjadi pada tahun 2006 yaitu sebesar 7,72% dan tahun 2011 sebesar 6,46% dan peningkatan luas panen tertinggi terjadi pada tahun 2008 yaitu sebesar 10,24%. Luas panen jagung pada tahun 2012 mengalami peningkatan sebesar 2,40% dibandingkan tahun 2011, sedangkan pada tahun 2013 luas panen jagung menurun sebesar 3,44% dan pada tahun 2014 meningkat sebesar 0,41%. Oleh karena itu perlu dipikirkan upaya yang dapat dilakukan untukmeningkatkan produksi jagung. Berdasarkan uraian terebut maka fokus penelitian ini adalah merancang sebuah model produksi jagung dengan pendekatan sistem dinamis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi sistem produksi Jagung di Indonesia, serta memodelkannya dalam sebuah model dinamis. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan data sekunder dan diolah dengan menggunakan software vensim. Berdasarkan Hasil penelitian, sub sistem dibagi kedalam 7 subsistem, yaitu sub sistem produksi, permintaan, industri hilir, kebijakan pemerintah,  modal, tenaga kerja, dan kelembagaan petani. Hasil perumusan masalah dalam tahapan proses pengembangan sistem, diperoleh rumusan masalah utama yaitu beupa ”bagaimana upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk dapat meningkatkan produksi jagung Nasional?”. Hasil perumusan masalah ini kemudian dianalisis sistem produksinya dan dimodelkan kedalam diagram kausalitas, stock flow diagram, dan model matematika. Model yang dihasilkan, menunjukkan bahwa tingkat produksi dipengaruhi oleh produktifitas dan luas lahan panen; Gap kekurangan produksi merupakan permintaan dikurangi dengan tingkat produksi; Penambahan kapasitas produksi diperoleh melalui permintaan dikurangi dengan tingkat produksi; Penambahan Kapasistas produksi lahan Potensial diperoleh melalui produktifitas dikali dengan luas lahan potensial; Luas Penambahan Lahan dapat diprediksi melalui Gap kekurangan dibagi produktifitas.Kata kunci: Model dinamis, sistem produksi jagung
Multiple Primary Malignancy of Esophageal and Gastric Synchronous and Colon Metachronous
Authors: Tenggara Riki , Sugondo Lauretta Ariella
Published: January 2018

Multiple primary cancer is an incidence when a patient has multiple malignancy in two or more organs without possibility of metastatic lesion. There have been many reports on mutiple primary cancer since Billroth reported it for the first time in 1879. Patients who have been diagnosed with a cancer have higher risk for developing another cancer, thereby physician and the patients should raise more awareness toward possibility of developing a new metachronous or synchronous cancer. We report a patient who has three histologically distinct cancers. Resected primary colon adenocarcinoma and 3 years after came with hematemesis and diagnosed to have a metachronous squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus synchronous with gastric adenocarcinoma. This case is interesting due to the clustering of three primary cancers (synchronous and metachronous) which is a rare occurrence in a single patient.

Background: Prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is escalating in Asia. The present study aimed toinvestigate the prevalence of GERD symptoms as well as potential risk factors associated with GERD in residents in a rural area in Jakarta. Method: The study population consisted of subjects who aged 20 years or more and lived in rural area Kebon Bawang-Tanjung Priok, Jakarta. A self-administered questionnaire based on earlier validated questionnaire (GERDQ) was given. The questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristic, self and environment sanitary, social and past illness history, and the symptoms score for GERD. Total score for GERD’s symptoms score was 18, with a score of at least 8 was considered to have symptomatic GERD.Results: The questionnaire was completed in 90 subjects. Of the 90 subjects, 12 (13.3%) had GERDQ score ≥ 8 which was the cut-off for definingpresence of GERD. On both univariate and multivariate analysis, age 50 years old (OR = 6.33; 95% CI 1.1-35.6), handwashing habit before eating (OR = 6.93; 95% CI 1.1-43.8), and raw/tap water (OR = 10.28; 95% CI 0.8-130) were significantly associated with the presence of GERD.Conclusion: Prevalence of GERD was high (13.3%) in rural area in Jakarta. Age 50 years old, handwashing habit before eating, and raw/tap waterwere risk factors for GERD in this population.

This includes lexemes such as ‘Fehler’ (error), ‘Produkt’ (product), ‘Sache’ (object) or ‘Mangel’ (defect) which occur both in expert as well as in non-expert situations of use.Intersections in the semantic explication between legal experts and laypersons as well as communicative problems of legal laypersons are determined. The linguistic problems must besolved in interdisciplinary committees of linguists and legal experts: e.g., in the editorial team Legal Language in the German Federal Ministry of Justice or in an European Competence Center for language and the law. The Comprehensibility Model aims at comprehensible communication of the law, in order to implement the concept of linguistic democracy. It works in the horizon of the recipient. This designates adequacy with regard to object and addressee for the production and reception of legal texts.The methodological basis is multiperspectivity: with the theory pattern, the empirical pattern, the results pattern and the comparison pattern. This leads to new possibilities for research on language for special purposes, transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries, as well as to new, practically relevant professional fields for students of Applied Linguistics (e.g., legal editor, executive consultant).
Presentations on business topics in L3 Russian: What should we learn from the evaluation by natives?
Authors: Krause Marion
Published: January 2018

The paper focuses on oral presentations for business purposes in a foreign language (Russian). As an audio-visual discourse type, presentations require general communicative skills, presentation techniques, language proficiency, and the knowledge of culturally embedded, pragmatic practices which meet the expectations of the auditory. Against this background, this paper examines how native speakers of Russian perceive presentations by Russian speaking foreigners. This perceptual approach allows us to analyze a large complex of linguistic and non-linguistic features of presentations and to shed light on the expectations built up towards the realization of this discourse type within a certain language culture. Special attention is paid to linguistic characteristics of spoken communication that lead to the perception of a non-native accent, and towards the qualitative and quantitative impact of different types of linguistic errors on the evaluations by a native auditory.

Zur Übertragung funktional-pragmatischer Begrifflichkeit vom Deutschen ins Italienische. Übersetzungsvorschläge am Beispiel von Determinativkomposita zu Handlung
Authors: Nardi Antonella
Published: January 2018

This paper sets out to investigate specific issues when translating from German to Italian with reference to linguistic terms. Firstly, general problems concerning the translation oflinguistic terms are discussed, then specific aspects of translation from German into Italian are analyzed. Finally, proposals for the translation of German terms which are determinative compounds receive attention and comment. The analyzed terms belong to the conceptual system of Functional Pragmatics. The latter is a theoretical approach to linguistics rooted in the German linguistic tradition.

TROPHY HUNTING â€“ A BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE FROM THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST OF THE IRON AGE (CIRCA 1200â€“500 B.C.E.)
Authors: Pretorius Johan
Published: January 2018

Humans have been hunting since time immemorial. In recent times, especially after the shooting of Cecil, a trophy-lion, various questions have surfaced about sport hunting. In this article, evidence from the Bible and archaeology from the Iron Age ancient Near East is presented to enable the reader to understand how and what was hunted. The article will conclude with the biblical Israelitesâ€™ and their neighboursâ€™ attitude towards hunting, in particular trophy hunting.
THE DIACHRONY DEBATE: A TUTORIAL ON METHODS
Authors: Forbes Dean A.
Published: January 2018

Traditional approaches to the linguistic dating of Biblical Hebrew (BH) have produced many innovative results. However, because of inattention to the disruptive effects of textual noise and to the overfitting of textual features to restricted texts, these results have exhibited limited generalisability. In recent years, there have been proposals to include additional parameters in analyses. Lately, a construct from innovation theory, the s-curve, has been informally taken up by a few BH diachrony analysts. Not surprisingly, initial results have been approximate and provisional due to the idealised assumptions made. Future work along these lines must provide for features that are non-monopolising, non-monotonic, and fluctuating. Concurrently, the methods and inferences associated with traditional analyses have been questioned. For example, Young, Rezetko and EhrensvÃ¤rd have asserted that attempts to date biblical writings linguistically are ab initio illegitimate. I disagree.
RUTH, A PROSELYTE PAR EXCELLENCE â€“ EXEGETICAL AND STRUCTURAL OBSERVATIONS
Authors: WÃ¼nch Hans-Georg
Published: January 2018

The little book of Ruth is not only a literary jewel in the Old Testament, but can also, as the article argues, be understood as a model for proselytism. Ruth can be seen as â€œa proselyte par excellenceâ€. Jewish exegesis (Targum, Midrash and Talmud) interprets the book of Ruth in this way. But it can also be shown by exegetical insights as well as structural elements
CONSTRUCTING A LIVING DEITY â€“ FRAMING THE GOD OF ISRAEL IN THE STORIES OF DANIEL AND BEL AND THE DRAGON
Authors: De Bruyn Joseph Jacobus
Published: January 2018

This article is the concluding part in a series of articles on â€œBel and the dragonâ€. These articles are an investigation into the Greek editorâ€™s/authorâ€™s use of body, space, narrative and genre in creating a new reality regarding the Jewish deity. A spatial analysis is used. It suggests that the episodes of â€œBel and the dragonâ€, as well as each of the chapters of Greek Daniel, should be read in a reciprocal relationship with each other. First, such an analysis indicates that the smaller episodes and chapters are part of a larger clash of deities. Second, it shows that the editor/author utilises the different events in the chapters of Greek Daniel to create a new worldview. In this new worldview the God of Israel is an almighty deity while other deities that are revered are false, and not real, living gods. In his own way the editor/author contributes to the way in which Jews regarded their God within the reality of the diaspora.
THE METATEXTS OF 1 AND 2 MACCABEES
Authors: Miller-NaudÃ© Cynthia L , NaudÃ© Jacobus A
Published: January 2018

The physical placement of Maccabees within translations provides important evidence concerning the translatorsâ€™ views of the book and its relation to other parts of the canon. Some of the translations include a preface which explicitly indicates the status of Maccabees with respect to the remainder of the canon of Scripture and its proper use both for public reading and ecclesiastical doctrine. In addition, some translations include introductions to Maccabees, which further discuss the status and role of Maccabees within the canon. Finally, the metatextual evidence of marginal notes will be used to indicate interpretive issues concerning the text of Maccabees.

THE SALVIFIC TASK OF THE SUFFERING SERVANT IN ISAIAH 42:1-7:
Authors: Rugwiji Temba
Published: January 2018

The theme of salvation is central in the servant songs. In Isaiah 42:1-7, the theme of salvationprefigures the significant task of the suffering servant. First, this essay commences with a critical analysis of Isaiah 42:1-7. This analysis will shed light on the context from which the text emerged in an effort to decipher salvific themes in the text. Second, the study maintains that Yahwehâ€™s exclusivist proclamation in the Old Testament (hereafter OT)is revised in order to also include non-Jews in his salvific programme of the universe. Third, the term salvation is defined as depicting liberation in the OT. Liberation comprises various facets, including but not limited to political freedom, economic emancipation, democracy, justice, poverty eradication, and equal rights, amongst others. Fourth, this essay will explore divergent views on the identity of the suffering servant in the servant songs, such as Jeremiah, Cyrus, Jacob/Israel, and Jesus. The Christian view of the suffering servant will also be considered.Fifth, this article will discuss servant leadership in our contemporary context, in which Nelson Mandela as a representative example of a servant leader is explored. The overall objective of this research is to identify some salvific tasks of the suffering servant in the first servant song in order to inspire, inform and legitimise socio-political transformation1 in our contemporary society.

POBREZA POLÍTICA E PLANO BRASIL SEM MISÉRIA
Authors: Cabral Júnior Luciano Roberto Gulart , Costa Eder Dion De Paula
Published: January 2018

A pobreza é uma mazela social que reflete nos direitos sociais, na cidadania e na dignidade da pessoa humana, acarretando efeitos nefastos no cotidiano dos pobres. A pobreza não deve ser encarada unicamente pelo seu aspecto de renda baixa, mas sim adentrar na órbita social, cultural, política, enfim, não se restringir a um critério quantitativo para observar também o qualitativo. A pobreza política é uma forma diversa de se analisar a pobreza, não sendo confundida com a pobreza material. No Brasil, o Plano Brasil Sem Miséria é direcionado à população extremamente pobre. É inegável o seu ponto positivo, por pretender atender a uma parcela de indivíduos com déficit de cidadania. Políticas sociais devem almejar o bem-estar e diminuir as desigualdades sociais e econômicas, preconizando uma justiça social. Malgrado, o referido Plano é deveras limitado, não prevendo a intervenção nas pessoas submetidas à pobreza política, de modo que é um paliativo, pondo em xeque a sua atuação sobre o cerne efetivo da questão social. Nesse cenário que se realiza a presente pesquisa qualitativa, através do método de abordagem dedutivo e do método de procedimento monográfico.

A Febre Catarral Maligna (FCM) é uma doença infecciosa viral que afeta bovinos e cujo agente etiológico é o herpesvírus ovino tipo 2 (OHV-2). No nordeste brasileiro a doença tem sido subnotificada restringindo-se a poucos relatos. Neste trabalho descreve-se um surto de FCM em uma propriedade situada no município de Limoeiro, Agreste de Pernambuco. O rebanho era formado principalmente por ovinos da raça Santa Inês, composto por 140 animais em diferentes fases de criação, além de um lote de 40 bovinos mestiços da raça nelore criados sob regime semiextensivo. Três bovinos apresentaram sinais clínicos que consistiam principalmente em opacidade bilateral das córneas, sialorreia, úlceras cutâneas na face, mucosa oral, língua, espaços interdigitais e regiões abdominal e lombar. As fezes eram líquidas, de coloração enegrecida e odor fétido. Os achados microscópicos consistiram principalmente em vasculite com infiltrado inflamatório em vários tecidos, tais como rins, abomaso, língua e em vasos da rete mirabile carotídea. Foi realizada a análise de nPCR em amostras de tecido, onde houve amplificação no tecido nervoso de herpesvírus ovino tipo 2. Este trabalho confirma a importância da FCM para o rebanho de bovinos da região, sobretudo em criações consorciadas com ovinos, e evidencia a necessidade da realização de investigações epidemiológicas para o diagnóstico onde a doença não foi confirmada em Pernambuco.
