Authors: Ali Salman
Published: March 2021

Media and Communication Channels as carriers of news on COVID-19 might have a role in spreading panic among the population. This study was conducted to determine the media and communication channels responsible for creating panic among Malaysians during COVID-19 Movement Control Order (MCO). A survey using questionnaire was used to collect data from 253 respondents across Malaysia. In terms of media and communication channels, most of the respondents reported that they panic due to the exposure to reports from online media (Internet and social media). This is followed by communication with family members. TV, radio and newspaper reports are the third contributors of panic among Malaysians during COVID-19 MCO. Meanwhile about half of the respondents said they panic because of curiosity about COVID-19. It is an irony that online media, which contributes to the panic is also a source of information on COVID-19 and platform to work from home.

Towards Linked Data for Wikidata Revisions and Twitter Trending Hashtags
Authors: Dooley Paula , Bozic Bojan
Published: March 2021

This paper uses Twitter as a microblogging platform to link hashtags, which relate the message to a topic that is shared among users, to Wikidata, a central knowledge base of information relying on its members and machine bots to keeping its content up to date. The data is stored in a highly structured format, with the added SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL) endpoint to allow users to query its knowledge base. Our research, designs and implements a process to stream live Twitter tweets and to parse existing Wikidata revision XML files provided by Wikidata. Furthermore, we identify if a correlation exists between the top Twitter hashtags and Wikidata revisions over a seventy-seven-day period. We have used statistical evaluation tools, such as `Jaccard Ratio' and `Kolmogorov-Smirnov' to investigate a significant statistical correlation between Twitter hashtags and Wikidata revisions over the studied period.

Published: March 2021

Objetivo. Descrever o perfil toxicológico de todas as vítimas de suicídio no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, de 2017 a 2019.

Métodos. Neste estudo descritivo e transversal, foram consultados todos os laudos periciais e as ocorrências policiais relacionados aos óbitos por suicídio no estado. Foram realizadas análises de correspondência múltipla e construídos modelos independentes de regressão logística, tendo como variáveis dependentes o etanol, os ansiolíticos, os antidepressivos, as substâncias ilícitas e os agentes tóxicos não medicamentosos.

Resultados. Foram realizados 2 978 exames de alcoolemia, com resultado positivo em 28,5%. A chance de resultados positivos para alcoolemia foi 0,5 (IC95%: 1,1 a 2,2) vez maior para suicídio durante a noite, 1,0 (IC95%: 1,4 a 2,9) vez maior para suicídio aos finais de semana e 0,9 (IC95%: 1,3 a 2,7) vez maior na presença de antecedentes criminais. A pesquisa de psicotrópicos (2 900 amostras) detectou algum medicamento em 30,4%. Os ansiolíticos foram a classe mais frequente, com chance 1,5 (IC95%: 1,6 a 4,1) vez maior em mulheres e 0,8 (IC95%: 1,2 a 2,7) vez maior para suicídios ocorridos no outono-inverno. As substâncias ilícitas (n = 338) tiveram chance 4,1 (IC95%: 1,9 a 14,4) vezes maior de detecção na macrorregião de Pelotas em relação à de Passo Fundo e 1,2 (IC95%: 1,3 a 3,6) vez maior em pessoas com resultados positivos para etanol. Não houve diferença significativa entre adolescentes e adultos.

Conclusões. Embora sem evidência de causalidade, os resultados mostram um vínculo entre o suicídio e diversos psicoativos. Os médicos legistas devem ser orientados quanto à necessidade de realização de exames toxicológicos em todos os casos de suicídio.
Getting Closer to Communities: The Warmth of Community Well-being in the Local Government Act 2002
Authors: Mukhtar Muhammad Mubashir
Published: March 2021

The reintroduction of community well-being as a purpose, into the Local Government Act 2002, has created the opportunity for the Councils to engage with their communities in a more holistic way. Although the Councils are consulting within their jurisdictions, this is currently more focused on the core services delivered or assets managed by them. With the community well-being framework in place, the Councils will be able to monitor the developments within their communities from a social, economic, environmental, and cultural perspective. It will enable them to participate on the ground level and to raise the volume with the central government agencies on what matters most for their communities.

The enabling factor for this conversation to happen is sitting with the extensiveness of community engagement from the Council side. Through these engagements, the Councils will be able to identify and prioritise the outcomes which their communities’ value. These outcomes will be impacting on the Council business as to what and how they will deliver the core services.

In this thesis, we will be looking into the history and role of community well-being in the Local Government Act 2002, and its evolution into the Local Government (Community Well-being) Amendment Act 2019. Along with it, we intend to identify a framework and a set of indicators on community well-being which are common across the local government sector.

This research will primarily help the staff members of the Councils to grasp the dynamics of community well-being and to incorporate it in their various strategic plans and reports. Secondly, it will help the community organisations and contractors to work more closely with the Councils and see how they can have a more positive impact on their communities. Thirdly, this piece will seek to align the well-being work of the local government sector with the work currently undergoing at the central government level; specifically, the Living Standards Framework (LSF) at The Treasury and Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand (IANZ) at Statistics New Zealand.
Implications of the pandemic: The case of education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Authors: Gleeson Margaret , Hubbard Gillian
Published: March 2021

Covid-19 has surfaced a number of educational issues in New Zealand schools and universities. Many schools and universities were able to move all teaching online within a short time. However, this flexibility was not shared by all educational institutions, or all students. Students from vulnerable communities did not enjoy the same access to learning as those from more affluent schools. The mental and emotional health of many learners, their families and teachers suffered from feelings of isolation. When the national borders closed to international students, departments set up to support their academic language learning have closed. This leaves emergent bilinguals without the linguistic support promised in the New Zealand Curriculum. This in turn endangers the academic success of another vulnerable community.

Authors: Amado Bibiana , Pérez Ana Cecilia , Matias Richard Brunel
Published: March 2021

El presente trabajo analiza el tratamiento de temas ambientales en una propuesta de Intercomprensión en Lenguas Romances (IC) que el equipo de InterRom, de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, ha elaborado para el desarrollo de las capacidades de lenguaje de estudiantes de los últimos años de la escuela secundaria desde la óptica de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de IC en torno a los géneros de textos. Esta propuesta integra los enfoques plurales de las lenguas con aportes del interaccionismo sociodiscursivo (BRONCKART, 2007), de la teoría sociocultural del desarrollo humano (BRUNER, 1994; NELSON, 1996; ROGOFF, 1993; VYGOTSKY, 1962, 1988) y de los estudios cognitivos sobre la comprensión y la producción de textos (BRITTON; GRAESSER, 1996; HAYES; FLOWERS, 1980, HAYES, 1996; SCARDAMALIA; BEREITER, 1992). En la convergencia de esas perspectivas teóricas, la propuesta promueve acciones de intercomprensión en francés, portugués, italiano y español, relacionadas, con la conservación del ambiente. Las actividades incluyen el trabajo con diferentes géneros textuales que abordan problemáticas ambientales. En relación con estos temas se propone la realización de actividades que promueven, al mismo tiempo, la reflexión sobre temas ambientales críticos y el desarrollo de estrategias de producción de textos escritos en español. En ese sentido, es posible sostener que la propuesta se funda en un enfoque social e intercultural.
O trabalho com o gênero discursivo "perfil": relato de experiência com alunos de ELE e PLA
Authors: Campos Thayane Silva , Codeglia Ana Florencia
Published: March 2021

Partindo do pressuposto de que a forma como nos comunicamos se dá por meio de enunciados, concretizados nos gêneros discursivos (BAKHTIN, 2015), estes devem ser considerados no trabalho com as línguas estrangeiras, a fim de possibilitar aos alunos que façam uso do idioma em diferentes contextos de comunicação. Dessa forma, neste trabalho, definimos o que é gênero discursivo e discutimos as especificidades que devem ser consideradas ao realizar um trabalho com os alunos a partir de gêneros. Por fim, por meio do relato e da avaliação de uma atividade com o gênero discursivo “perfil”, analisamos como ocorreu essa transposição didática para a sala de aula. Essa atividade foi aplicada em duas turmas da UFMG, uma de língua espanhola, para alunos que estão na graduação em Letras e outra de português como língua adicional, para alunos que estão realizando seus estudos no Brasil.
¿Qué me cuentas, CELIN? Uma análise sobre o uso de contos nas aulas de espanhol do Centro de Línguas e Interculturalidade da UFPR
Authors: Cerdeira Phelipe de Lima
Published: March 2021

Este artigo analisa de que forma os contos literários são trabalhados nas aulas de espanhol como língua estrangeira (ELE) a partir do projeto El cuento en lengua española y sus relaciones con la Interculturalidad, instituído no CELIN da UFPR. Toda a reflexão conta como premissa metodológica a busca de aportes teóricos relacionados ao uso da literatura como mediadora nas aulas de ELE. Em uma segunda etapa, realizou-se uma rodada de pesquisas qualitativas, aplicadas no último semestre de 2015, contemplando os 13 professores da área de espanhol, além de uma entrevista com um dos idealizadores do projeto. Da iniciativa inicial para viabilizar um espaço no qual a literatura é referência para a interação e para a interculturalidade, problematiza-se como o uso dos contos acabou sendo simplificado a uma etapa burocrática de avaliação ou de sistematização de paradigmas verbais. Uma história que se transforma em questionamento e, principalmente, em desafio ao ensinar.

Nesse texto, discutimos a necessidade de se pensar o trabalho com as “novas tecnologias” na perspectiva da natividade digital (PRENSKY, 2011a). Partimos do pressuposto de que as tecnologias digitais vêm imprimindo novas formas de nos relacionarmos com espaços e tempos, alterando nossas formas de socialização na web, o que demanda novas propostas pedagógicas pela escola. Para tanto, analisamos brevemente algumas atividades da plataforma Currículo+, disponibilizada pela Secretaria de Educação de São Paulo, como tecnologias com potencialidades a serem exploradas por professores de língua espanhola por meio da abordagem de aula invertida (BERGMANN; SAMS, 2012). Também discutimos a necessidade de que professores assumam para si a tarefa de produção de conteúdos educacionais, em colaboração com colegas, e que contribuam com avaliação sobre o uso dos recursos, no processo de retroalimentação das plataformas e repositórios.

Ethnic oriented approach to imperative mood examination in teaching of Russian as a foreign language
Authors: Kolosova Elena Ivanovna , Gimranova Tatiana Aleksandrovna , Zheng Zhongyi
Published: March 2021

This article examines difficulties to teaching the Russian language grammar in “Russian as a Foreign Language” (referred to as “RFL”) classes to students from Chinese contingent. While learning Russian grammar, many students encounter a number of challenges, one of which is an attempt to transfer their native language knowledge onto the learning of a foreign language. Since grammar categories of different languages are not identical, the learner’s consciousness attempts to overlay one language onto another (phenomenon of interference), which in turn hinders the adequate learning of chosen language’s certain grammar category. Without a doubt, focusing on such cases and bearing in mind possible mistakes of such type while learning a certain grammar category focusing on features of students’ native language creates a deeper understanding of Russian language structure and prevents cases of interference. The current article is relevant to the number of studies related to the examination of approaches to the ethnic oriented education of foreign languages. A detailed analysis of inducement expression methods in Russian language as compared to those in Chinese language is considered highly relevant. Authors of the current study come to the conclusion that the introduction to the Russian imperative mood and its manifestation in language and speech can be presented with interest from the position of ethnic oriented approach to the teaching of “RFL” classes by combining the grammar aspects of language learning with culturological ones. The framework of this article and collected illustrative material can be of use to the “RFL” teachers in their pedagogical practice in the preparation and conduct of classes with Chinese students, as well as in preparation of training courses of Russian language grammar and in creation of teaching aids based on ethnic oriented approach.

Authors: Maratovna Plankina Regina , Fridrikhovna Arsenteva Elena , Diaz Yetzaneth Del Valle , Med Natalia Grigorievna
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the study of one of the types of contextual use of phraseological units (PU) designating age in the English language, and the ways of translating phraseological reiteration into Russian. A short survey of works in question is presented: namely, the experimental study of occasional use of phraseological units by American and native researchers. The aim of the research is to identify the possibility of employing two aspects of phraseological reiteration (repetition of one or more PU components bearing the main meaning load, or repetition of the whole phraseological unit) by the informants – non-native speakers of the English language. Students of third-year of Kazan Federal University, future specialists in the field of English, acted as informants. The experiment was carried out at the end of the sixth semester of study, after students specializing in linguistics took a course on the basics of English phraseology. One of the sections of this course is the study of the contextual (everyday and occasional) use of phraseological units, so students were already familiar with the mechanisms of occasional transformations of phraseological units and tested them in the classroom on a number of examples taken from fiction from English and American writers. The ways of adequate translation of phraseological reiteration into Russian under linguistic experimental conditions are also analyzed.

The object of analysis in the provided article is the language-game as a method of representing the author’s vision. The content behind term “language-game” is revealed by  an art space of A.I. Vvedensky, Russian poet of avant-gardism and philosopher. It is analyzed a distinction between children’s and adult’s works. The main content of the current study is an analysis of the most effective methods of language-game presentation in artistic communication of the poet, such as free verse, contamination of phraseological units, comparison, semantic indifference of lexemes, transformation of grammar categories, phrase deformation, etc. Based on the conducted research, a conclusion about specifics of the poet’s individual writing style can be made. In Vvedensky’s linguistic poetics, language-game manifests itself at different levels of text function as an important factor to text formation. It is important to note that language-game techniques found in his children’s works are aimed at building a positive dialog and are seen as a positive phenomenon, while his more mature works feature an abstract artistic world with abstract artistic meaning.

The article is devoted to the usage of educational texts in writing skills development during Russian as a second language learning process. It is especially relevant for those who are taking higher education programs in Russia and in Russian. It discusses the main problems arising in working with various genres of written texts presented in modern textbooks on writing. Particular attention is paid to differences in work with reproductive and productive types of writing texts, as well as genres that are included in Test of Russian as a Foreign Language (TORFL). Various methods were used, such as comparative, analytical, descriptive and others. All the methods used allowed us to identify the distinctive features of sample texts offered in modern writing materials. An analysis of students' papers performed during the lessons, allowed us to draw a conclusion about the causes of errors. The article substantiates the possibility of including into the educational process a new genre of written texts - SMS messages. The relevance of this idea is explained by the existing trend of using electronic communication, as well as the wide distribution among students of various messenger applications, such as WhatsApp and others.

The current study aimed at investigating the most common translation problems that students of the additional professional education program “Translator for specific purpose” of Kazan Federal University had while translating texts on business and economics from Russian into English. To fulfill the aim of the research 61 participants were given authentic materials from periodicals for translation. The texts contained lexical - phraseological features that belong to the most common difficulties in translation: economic terms, non-equivalent vocabulary, neologisms, idioms, euphemisms, abbreviations. The findings of the study showed that the students have good understanding of translating the main economic terms and know the techniques in translating. The biggest challenge they faced were connected with translating idioms and faux friends. Neologisms seemed to be not difficult but quite challenging. Interviews that followed the translation tasks helped to identify perspective translators’ subjective difficulties and techniques they tackled them. The data obtained from the participants’ answers could provide profound information for syllabus design.

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis sistémico del sistema de abastecimiento de agua potable en el Municipio de Ecatepec, el cual forma parte de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, perteneciente al espacio natural denominado como la Cuenca de México. El municipio se caracteriza por una problemática compleja, debido al desarrollo urbano acelerado y al mismo tiempo poco planeado que se ha dado en los últimos 30 años. En el municipio se presenta una creciente tendencia en la construcción de unidades habitacionales que ha provocado múltiples problemas de carácter socio-económico y ambiental; entre los cuales destaca el rezago en el suministro del agua potable. En este trabajo se propone analizar la situación del suministro del agua potable en el municipio bajo la aplicación del marco teórico conceptual de sistemas complejos y de la Gestión Integral del Agua Urbana con la utilización de diferentes fuentes de información, como informes técnicos, bases de datos, mapas oficiales, artículos y libros. Para la realización del trabajo se aplicó el esquema del análisis sistémico el cual abarca una visión más integradora de diferentes factores (tanto físicos, como socio-económicos) que influyen en el proceso de la gestión de agua potable a nivel local, de un municipio. Para tal fin se definieron tres elementos como determinantes para el análisis del funcionamiento del sistema de abastecimiento: a) El entorno geográfico en el que se suscribe el municipio, a nivel regional y local; b) La dinámica demográfica a escala espacial y temporal; y c) La gestión del recurso hídrico a nivel local. Estos tres elementos se analizaron por medio de la combinación de las siguientes etapas a) Fase documental b) Fase de campo c) Fase de análisis; donde se sistematizó la información disponible, mediante el diseño de una base de datos y apoyo de SIG; se realizó el análisis de interrelaciones. En particular, el desarrollo de la base de datos - el punto central del trabajo - se realizó en dos etapas: la primera de delimitación y compilación de la información, y la segunda fase que implicó el diseño, la elaboración y manejo de base de datos. La base de datos diseñada es compatible con el Sistema de Información Geográfica el cual permite obtener un panorama más completo sobre el proceso de la gestión del agua potable y puede servir de una herramienta práctica accesible en el proceso de planeación y toma de decisiones en materia del agua a nivel local.

Este estudio evalúa la aplicabilidad de distintos métodos para la estimación de datos faltantes de precipitación puntual, en ocho estaciones pluviográficas de la Región del Maule, Chile. Estos métodos corresponden a correlación lineal, completación por razones de distancia, completación por promedios vecinales, completación por razones promedio y completación por correlación con estaciones vecinas, propuestos por UNESCO-ROSTLAC, en 1982, en el marco del balance hídrico para América del Sur. Además se agregó un sexto método, el de completación por regresiones múltiples. Los métodos se analizan a través del coeficiente de determinación (R²), error estándar de estimación (EEE), test de concordancia de Bland y Altman y análisis de varianza, con los que se determina que método presenta mejor ajuste para la región. Según el análisis de Bland y Altman, el mejor método de completación fue el de regresión múltiple con 2 y 3 estaciones cercanas, lo que además se corrobora con los valores obtenidos del R² y el EEE. Asimismo, los errores estándar de los otros métodos estudiados fueron demasiado altos, lo que los hace no recomendables, excepto el de correlación con estaciones vecinas que tiende a acercarse en sus resultados al de regresiones múltiples.

Cuba es la mayor de las islas del mar Caribe, está conformada como parte de un archipiélago con 1600 cayos y pequeñas islas. Durante el último siglo (XX), entre las décadas 60s y 90s, se construyeron 239 presas, administradas por el Instituto Nacional de Recursos Hidráulicos (INRH). En la actualidad todos los embalses construidos tienen un promedio de edad equivalente a 30 años, en general ellos se dividen de la forma siguiente: el 33% tienen <20 años, 26% entre 20-30 años y el 41 con 30-100 años. Las aguas de estos embalses se utilizan para diferentes propósitos, de ellos 160 son para riego, 78 se dedican al suministro a la población e industrias y 1 produce energía eléctrica. Desde el año 2006 la Empresa de Investigaciones y Proyectos Hidráulicos Habana (EIPHH) ha preparado una metodología para realizar una serie de estudios de pérdida de capacidad de almacenamiento debido a los procesos de sedimentación, incluyendo el conocimiento del método batimétrico. Se estudiaron varios casos en diferentes provincias cuyo uso fundamental es el suministro a población. En este estudio se analizaron 5 embalses en tres provincias, Bacuranao y la Zarza (prov. Ciudad de La Habana), Laguna El Pesquero (Munic. Sandino, prov. Pinar del Río), Paso Bonito (prov. Cienfuegos), La Yaya (prov. Guantánamo). Unido al estudio de pérdida de capacidad de almacenamiento han sido estimados algunos otros datos referidos al proceso de sedimentación tales como: la edad promedio de estos embalses fue de 35 años, la pérdida de capacidad fue 28,6% para Bacuranao con una pérdida anual promedio de 0,817%, la Zarza 18,5 y una pérdida anual promedio de 0,499%. El Pesquero 28,1 con una pérdida anual promedio de 0,721%, Paso Bonito 37,8 y su pérdida anual promedio fue de 1,145% y la Yaya 21,6 y una pérdida anual promedio de 0,654%. La tasa de sedimentación para las cuencas en estos embalses se ha estimado entre 91.660 a 1.030.559 m3año-1.

En este trabajo se presentan resultados conjuntos de diferentes estudios relacionados con la dinámica de sedimentos en la cuenca del Curso Alto del Río Lerma (CARL). La CARL tiene una extensión de 2117,9 km2, presenta en su parte alta, el Nevado de Toluca, elevaciones de 4560 msnm y en su parte baja la presa José Antonio Alzate una elevación de 2569 msnm. La abrupta topografía, las altas precipitaciones y la intervención humana (tala de bosques y prácticas agrícolas inadecuadas) generan anualmente una importante pérdida de suelo. Por medio del Sistema de información Geográﬁco IDRISI y utilizando la ecuación universal revisada de pérdida de suelo (RUSLE por sus siglas en inglés) se evalúo este fenómeno en la CARL. Se hizo una comparación entre los valores obtenidos para 1973 y el año 2000. Lo anterior permitió evaluar la inﬂuencia del factor humano en la generación de sedimentos en la cuenca. Igualmente se efectuó un estudio batimétrico del embalse José Antonio Alzate lo cual permitió deﬁnir el factor de entrega de sedimentos de la cuenca.
