Authors: Naidu T Jayachandra , AS Kireeti , B Lokesh , Reddy Dudala Shankar
Published: January 2018

Introduction: Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm. It is the commonest indication for ventilation in neonates in India. Surfactant Replacement Therapy (SRT) for RDS is a major breakthrough that has revolutionized the survival of premature infants worldwide. Randomized controlled trials have also demonstrated that prophylactic or early surfactant therapy compared with delayed surfactant treatment results in improved outcomes for preterm infants at high risk.

Objective: To assess the outcome of early and late rescue surfactant administration by InSuRE (Intubation, Surfactant and Rapid Extubation) technic in managing preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Methodology: Study design: Prospective analytical study. Sample size: 144 preterm babies between 28-34 weeks of GA. Setting: Level III NICU at SVRR Government General Hospital, Tirupati, AP. Study Period: 1 year (Sep 2013 to Aug 2014). Method: All preterm babies between 28-34 weeks with respiratory distress were given surfactant with InSuRE technic immediately and categorized into early and late rescue group depending on the time of surfactant therapy i.e. within 2 hrs. of life and between 2-24 hrs. of life respectively.

Results: In early rescue group there is significant reduction in mortality and lessen the need of mechanical ventilation with p value <0.05. Conclusion: Early routine surfactant administration within 2 hrs. of life as compared to late selective administration significantly reduced the need mechanical ventilation within 7th day of life and mortality among preterm with respiratory distress syndrome.

Breast carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor and the leading cause of death, in women, worldwide. It accounts for 15 % of all cancer deaths. Various protocols are in use for the assessment of prognosis, and also to assist in planningfurther management of these cases. Of various parameters, expression of Estrogen receptors (ER) is significant. The literature includes several studies showing association between the presence of estrogen receptors apart from other indicators of good prognosis like small tumor size, low histological grade, low nuclear grade and low mitotic activity. It is also a powerful predictive factor for the likelihood of benefit from adjuvant hormonal therapy including aromatase inhibitors (Anastrozole, letrozole) and Tamoxifen, an oral selective estrogen receptor modulator. All cases of Carcinoma breast presenting to S.V.R.R.G.G. Hospital, are evaluated for Estrogen Receptor status using immunochemistry, indirectly assessing the prognosis of individuals presenting to the Hospital and in turn the prognosis of the disease in the region.

Published: January 2018

Dysphagia is one of the most common symptoms among the gastrointestinal disorders. Along with this, the mass effect during deglutition in old age is suggestive of malignancy in the oesophagus, mostly in developing country like India. But dysphagia due to left atrial enlargement is extremely uncommon. We present a case of cardiac dysphagia,where dysphagia is due to left atrial enlargement compressing the oesophagus from outside (mechanical obstruction). The patient got relieved after administration of diuretics, which decreased the left atrial pressure and thereby the mechanical compression over the oesophagus was released.
Biotransformations in Microflow Systems: Bridging the Gap between Academia and Industry
Authors: Žnidaršič-Plazl Polona
Published: January 2018

Recent remarkable progress in understanding and engineering enzymes and whole cells as highly selective and environment-friendly catalysts enabling novel routes for the production of pharmaceuticals, fine and platform chemicals, and biofuels has spurred the quest for fast biocatalyst screening and development of efficient processes with long-term biocatalyst use. Besides this, current efforts towards more sustainable production systems and bio-based products have triggered an intense research on chemo-enzymatic cascades and establishment of continuous end-to-end processing. Microreaction technology, which has in the last two decades changed the paradigm in the laboratory and production scale organic synthesis, is recently gaining attention also in the field of applied biocatalysis. Based on the trends highlighted within this article, microfluidic systems linked with appropriate monitoring and feedback control can greatly contribute to successful implementation of biocatalysis in industrial production. Microflow-based droplets facilitate ultrahigh-throughput biocatalyst engineering, screening at various operational conditions, and very fast collection of data on reaction kinetics using minute amounts of time and reagents. Harnessing the benefits of microflow devices results in faster and cheaper selection of substrate(s) and media, and development of suitable immobilization methods for continuous biocatalyst use. Furthermore, the use of highly efficient reactor designs integrated with downstream processing enabling also faster and more reliable scale-up can bridge the gap between the academic research and industrial use of biocatalysts.
Evaluation of Non-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Strains Isolated from Sea Water Against Inhibitory Compounds for Ethanol Production
Authors: Thontowi Ahmad
Published: January 2018

An important parameter in industrial bioethanol fermentation is the resistance of yeast to osmotic pressure and inhibitor compounds. Aureobasidium pullulans LBF-3-0074 and Schwanniomyces etchellsii LBF-3-0034 are reported capable to produce ethanol. LBF-3-0034 and LBF-3-0074 are yeast strains isolated from Bali and Lombok sea water. This study aimed to evaluate characteristics of both LBF-3-0034 and LBF-3-0074 strains under the effects of glucose and inhibitor compounds. Both strains were allowed to consume glucose up to 120 mM. Then, these strains were grown with the present of several inhibitors, i.e. 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), furfural, acetic acid, formic acid, and levulinic acid. Results showed that the two yeast strains studied could grow and ferment the sugars under both osmotic and inhibitor stress conditions. As conclusion, Schwanniomyces etchellsii LBF-3-0034 and Aureobasidium pullulans LBF-3-0074 are potential for direct fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysate to ethanol.

O presente artigo analisou os impactos da seca na saúde mental de moradores de uma comunidade rural do Ceará. O objetivo é analisar os impactos da seca na saúde mental de moradores da comunidade de Canafístula, localizada na zona rural de Apuiarés (Ceará). As metodologias quantitativa e qualitativa constituíram o desenho metodológico.  Participaram do estudo 175 moradores, com idade entre 18 a 88 anos.  Foram aplicados a Escala de Influências da Seca e a Escala de Saúde Mental-SRQ-20. Na etapa qualitativa foram realizados três grupos focais e seis entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados apontaram que na Escala de Influências da Seca 100% dos participantes ou sua família vivenciaram alguma seca. O SRQ-20 apontou a prevalência de transtorno mental comum de 36% (63 pessoas) com prevalência de 84,5% (49) para as mulheres.  Os relatos dos participantes destacaram que a realidade da seca traz impactos para a saúde mental, pois afeta suas atividades produtivas, gera sentimentos de tristeza, insegurança quanto ao futuro e desânimo. Algumas políticas públicas como a construção de cisternas e as aposentadorias contribuem para enfrentar essa situação.

Published: January 2018

Background: Natural disasters increase the level population stress, including pregnant women, who can experience prenatal maternal stress, affecting to the fetus and trigger perinatal complications, such as low birth weight, smaller head circumference, etc. However, little is known about effects of earthquake on perinatal outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the effect of earthquake occurred on February 27, 2010 and perinatal outcomes of Chilean pregnant women, and to examine these effects by timing of exposure during pregnancy and newborn gender. Methods: A register-based study was performed using data collected from women who had a vaginal delivery in a large private health center in Santiago, Chile, during 2009 and 2010. The study population was categorized according to exposure to earthquake and timing during gestation. Primary perinatal outcomes were gestational age at birth, birth weight, length and head circumference. Analyses adjusted for gender, gestational age at exposure, parity, maternal age and income. Results: A total of 1,966 eligible vaginal deliveries occurred during 2009 and 2,110 in 2010. Birth weight was not affected by the trimester of exposure; however, length, head circumference and gestational age at birth were significantly different according to trimester of exposure and gender of newborn. In multivariable analysis, newborns were shorter by 2 mm, 5 mm and 4.5 mm, if they were exposed during their first, second and third trimester, respectively. Furthermore, newborns had a smaller head circumference by 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm if they were exposed during first and second trimester of gestation. Conclusion: In this cohort, exposure to the February 2010 earthquake resulted in earlier delivery and reduced length and head circumference in the offspring. This association varied according to trimester of exposure and fetal gender. Health workers should include exposed to high levels of stress associated with natural disasters when assessing pregnancy risk factors.
O HOTEL SANTIAGO DE ALFAMA COMO ALEGORIA DA POLÍTICA RECENTE DE REGENERAÇÃO URBANA
Authors: Safara Joao Paulo Batista , Brito-Henriques Eduardo
Published: January 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a turistificação urbana, nas suas relações com o urbanismo neoliberal e a reestruturação urbana no capitalismo globalizado, procurando mais particularmente averiguar o papel que a iniciativa JESSICA, enquanto instrumento de política neoliberal para a regeneração urbana, teve na turistificação da cidade de Lisboa. O artigo baseia-se numa metodologia de investigação micro-geográfica, procedendo a um estudo de caso detalhado, com a reconstituição da biografia de um edifício que foi recentemente convertido para hotel de luxo com financiamento JESSICA. O estudo mostra que, nessa mudança funcional, ocorreu uma elitização do local, e que a turistificação veio ocupar o vazio deixado após um longo período de desinvestimento e abandono gradual do edifício. O estudo conclui ainda que a turistificação deve ser vista como uma consequência e um reflexo da globalização na transformação da cidade, e que o fundo JESSICA não encaminhou mas antes se limitou a coadjuvar uma intenção de investimento que já estava latente.
Epistemic Injustice: Towards Uncovering Knowledge of Bisexual Realities in Social Work Research
Authors: Iacono Gio
Published: January 2018

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals experience health risks, with bisexuals experiencing higher levels of health risk compared to heterosexuals, gays and lesbians. These disparities are often attributed to stressors related to minority status. While similarities among LGBTQ experiences exist, it is plausible that bisexuals experience unique forms of marginalization, which may help explain the documented health disparities. Bostwick and Hequembourg highlight unique forms of marginalization that bisexuals experience vis-a`-vis microagressions, falling within the realm of the epistemic. Fricker’s work on epistemic injustice emphasizes marginalization particularly as it is related to knowledge and experience. Drawing on this scholarship, this paper provides a review of existing literature on the bisexual experience, and a discussion to provide a critical lens on bisexual marginalization in society and the minimal attention received in social work research. Approaches to increase bisexual visibility and attention in social work research will be discussed. Some approaches include: developing a queer theoretical perspective in practice and research to allow for greater problematization of social categories; and making a concerted effort to promote research that is inclusive of minority populations within the sexual and gender minority population group. This might include groups with intersecting points of marginalization, such as racialized and gender diverse individuals.
Perceptions of Macro Social Work Education: An Exploratory Study of Educators and Practitioners
Authors: Hill Katharine , Erickson Christina L. , Donaldson Linda Plitt , Fogel Sondra J. , Ferguson Sarah M.
Published: January 2018

Social work graduate education is responsive to and reflective of larger environmental forces, including economic and job market trends, regulations by diverse organizations, and student interests. A national online survey of macro social work educators (n=208) and macro social work practitioners (n=383) explored their perceptions of the intersections between these forces and graduate social work education. Findings indicate that while there remains a consistent level of support for and inclusion of macro social work within MSW programs from both groups, macro practitioners identified a concurrent experience of negative perceptions, attitudes, and experiences toward macro social work education while in their graduate programs. We suggest that social work programs seek out opportunities to integrate macro practice content and field experiences into their curriculum, so that students can be better equipped to respond to the complex systemic challenges they will encounter while in professional practice.
Obesity Phisiopathology: Current Perspectives
Authors: Sánchez-Oliver Antonio Jesús
Published: January 2018

Obesity is a global health problem, being considered one of the most serious and prevalent non-communicable diseases of the 21st century. It is currently understood as a multifactorial chronic condition associated with potentially serious complications whose treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach, given its huge clinical impact and associated health-carecost. Besides, properly tackling obesity requires a founded knowledge of its specific physiopathology is required. Together withthe rise in adiposity, a series of cellular processes happen, which cause several metabolic changes that drive to a vicious circle ofvisceral fat increase. This process in enhanced by genetic and environmental factors associated to multiple diseases (metabolic,cardiovascular, osteoarticular, etc.) that increase morbidity and mortality. The aim of this review is to introduce the currentperspectives on obesity physiopathology in a simple and didactic manner, in order to contribute to a better approach by thedifferent professionals that work with obesity in their everyday practice.

Published: January 2018

L'important corpus de recherches sur les changements d'utilisation des terres et de la couverture du sol en Amazonie brésilienne met généralement en évidence un effet significatif des systèmes de production paysanne. Cependant, l'influence des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques des petits exploitants sur l'utilisation des terres et le changement de couverture des sols n'apparaît pas clairement. Afin de mieux comprendre cet aspect, une étude de cas dans la colonie de Palmares-2 en Amazonie brésilienne a été menée au niveau des ménages pour cerner l'influence de certaines variables socio-économiques sur leur utilisation des terres. Les changements d'utilisation des terres à l'échelle de l'exploitation familiale ont été analysés à l'aide d'images LANDSAT TM et SPOT disponibles pour 1986, 1992, 2001 et 2007. Ces données SIG (système d'information géographique) ont été associées aux informations recueillies lors d'une enquête auprès de 44 exploitants. L'analyse montre que les niveaux de revenus influencent positivement les taux de déforestation sur cette période, et que l'expansion des zones cultivées et des pâturages s'accroît avec le niveau d'éducation des ménages. La disponibilité de crédits non remboursables est corrélée avec l'expansion de jachères forestières. Les surface nues et/ou brûlées sont plus importantes parmi les exploitations à faible capital implantées moins durablement sur la région. Les résultats de cette étude indiquent clairement la pertinence des niveaux de revenus et d'éducation comme facteurs d'explication sur l'utilisation des terres et le changement de couverture des sols par les paysans d'Amazonie.

Les concessions d’exploitation forestière menacent-elles les tourbières en République démocratique du Congo ?Dans une lettre cosignée par 30 chercheurs et publiquement adressée au ministère norvégien du Climat et de l’Environnement, le Pr Simon Lewis (University of Leeds) et ses collègues dénoncent l’impact potentiellement négatif de l’exploitation forestière sur les vastes marécages de la cuvette congolaise, abritant en partie des tourbières. Cette lettre demande à la Norvège de refuser le financement du programme de gestion durable des forêts de République démocratique du Congo (RDC) soumis en 2017 par l’Agence française de développement (AFD). Ce programme vise à relancer l’activité forestière légale, en net déclin dans le pays, et à soutenir une meilleure gestion des ressources forestières en appuyant les administrations forestières nationales et provinciales et en améliorant la gouvernance. En RDC comme en République du Congo, la loi autorise l’inclusion de ces zones marécageuses dans les concessions attribuées aux compagnies forestières. Si cela est très rare en République du Congo, en RDC environ 4,5 millions d’hectares, soit 26 % des zones marécageuses du pays, sont entièrement ou partiellement couverts par une trentaine de concessions. Le reproche adressé en particulier à l’AFD est de ne pas avoir considéré les dégâts potentiels que l’exploitation des forêts dans ces concessions pourrait provoquer sur les tourbières. Il est justifié par une référence explicite aux dégâts causés par ce type d’exploitation sur les tourbières d’Indonésie.En tant que scientifiques nous reconnaissons la qualité du travail du Pr Lewis et de ses collègues et nous sommes conscients de la nécessité de protéger les tourbières d’Afrique centrale. En revanche, nous discutons, sur le fond et sur la forme, la méthode utilisée par ces chercheurs pour y parvenir... (suite dans le fichier pdf version française)
Histoire évolutive du complexe Afzelia Smith (Leguminosae - Caesalpinioideae) dans les écosystèmes forestiers et savanicoles d’Afrique tropicale
Authors: Donkpegan Segbedji Armel Loïc
Published: January 2018

Le genre Afzelia Smith est connu pour comporter sept espèces africaines d’arbres dont deux se retrouvent dans la région zambézienne, une en région soudanienne et les quatre autres en région guinéo-congolaise. Ces taxons, à haute valeur commerciale, sont difficiles à distinguer les uns des autres. Ils sont donc commercialisés sous un même nom : « doussié » ou « afzelia ». Ces difficultés de distinction peuvent s’avérer préjudiciables à la gestion durable des populations.Le but de cette thèse de doctorat est de caractériser l’histoire évolutive du genre Afzelia. Plus spécifiquement, cette étude vise à : (i) évaluer le niveau des divergences morphologiques au sein du genre et décrire les relations phylogénétiques, afin de quantifier l’isolement reproductif entre les taxons d’Afzelia en mettant en évidence le rôle des changements climatiques passés et/ou des gradients écologiques dans la spéciation ; (ii) procéder à une analyse approfondie de la diversité et de la structuration génétique spatiale d’Afzelia spp. ; (iii) identifier et décrire les facteurs écologiques, biotiques et abiotiques susceptibles d’influencer les flux géniques à l’échelle des populations d’une espèce d’Afzelia (A. bipindensis).Une analyse morphogénétique des espèces a été effectuée et a confirmé la forte ressemblance botanique entre les taxons. Les espèces de savane se sont avérées être diploïdes et présentent la moitié de la taille du génome des espèces forestières qui sont donc tétraploïdes. Les phylogénies de gènes, nucléaires et chloroplastiques, diffèrent entre elles. De telles différences peuvent être générées à la suite d’épisodes d’hybridation ancestrale entre espèces. Ces hybridations seraient probablement anciennes et seraient survenues entre les lignées des espèces forestières et celles d’A. quanzensis (une espèce des savanes zambéziennes). La polyploïdie serait survenue entre 7 et 9,4 millions d’années au cours de l’histoire évolutive du genre. De plus, une assignation bayésienne et des analyses d’isolement reproductif ont suggéré l’existence de croisements interspécifiques, mais uniquement chez les espèces forestières distribuées en sympatrie. À une échelle spatiale plus limitée, deux groupes génétiques bien différenciés ont été observés en sympatrie chez A. bipindensis. Ceux-ci présentent une différenciation morphologique et un décalage phénologique de la floraison qui peut contribuer à leur isolement reproductif.Cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence quelques points importants que sont : la découverte d’un complexe polyploïde au sein du genre Afzelia ; la confirmation de la délimitation des espèces diploïdes de savane ; et la nécessité de réviser la taxonomie des espèces tétraploïdes forestières.

Published: January 2018

A dificuldade em encontrar nexos causais entre a fecundidade e a mudança ambiental sempre esteve presente nas pesquisas demográficas. As relações entre tais variáveis são de difícil apreensão e são raras as referências bibliográficas no tema. Neste artigo buscamos sintetizar essa discussão em dois elementos principais: tratamos das influências ambientais sobre o comportamento reprodutivo e da influência da fecundidade sobre o ambiente, enfatizando a discussão pró-natalista e controlista. Nesse sentido apontamos que as principais justificativas ambientais para tais iniciativas acabam obscurecendo as demandas por direitos reprodutivos.
A mobilidade populacional e sua relação com o ambiente: breve panorama dos principais debates
Authors: Craice Carla
Published: January 2018

O artigo realiza um panorama das discussões sobre a mobilidade populacional e sua relação com o ambiente. Para isso, são analisados livros e periódicos organizados pelo Grupo de Trabalho População, Espaço e Ambiente da Associação Brasileira de Estudos Populacionais desde sua primeira publicação em 1993. O conceito de mobilidade adotado nesta investigação compreende o movimento de um grupo populacional pelo espaço, não se restringindo a limites político-administrativos e sem fixação de intervalo de tempo. Dentre o conjunto de estudos analisados, a mobilidade esteve presente principalmente em debates sobre cidades, Amazônia e mudanças climáticas. Observou-se que a mobilidade populacional foi tratada a partir de uma relação dialética com a questão ambiental, nem simplesmente causa ou consequência, mas sim estabelecendo laços complexos com o seu entorno.

No século XVII, as publicações biográficas dos pretendentes à santidade faziam parte da estratégia dos grupos de apoio para obter a canonização de seus candidatos. A Companhia de Jesus, tanto na Europa quanto no Brasil, também lançou mão deste expediente para promover seus primeiros santos, nem sempre com sucesso. A partir da análise de alguns casos de processos de canonização que se desenrolaram no século XVII, procuramos relacionar o volume de publicações biográficas de caráter hagiográfico à força da causa de canonização e ao grau de mobilização e pressão dos grupos de apoio.

Authors: Poespasari Ellyne Dwi
Published: January 2018

Principally, dispute settlement of estate distribution on Minangkabau People is done by deliberation. If its settlement through deliberation is failed, an effort to solve the dispute through court needs to be conducted. This paper studies first, how is the opinion of judicial institution in the dispute of estate distribution on Minangkabau people; second, how is the implication of estate distribution on Minangkabau people after judge’s verdict. This is normative research with statute approach and case approach. The result of this research shows that there is the possibility of judicial institution’s verdict in the dispute settlement of estate distribution which is contradicted with adat law of Minangkabau (Matrilineal kinship). However, if it is seen from the legal perspective, estate distribution of Minangkabau people after judge’s verdict can be a breakthrough that is able to change the value of old adat law into the new one. Keywords: Dispute settlement, estate distribution, matrilineal kinship.

Published: January 2018

Paracetamol is generally used as analgesic and antipyretic drugs. Contamination paracetamol in the environment can occur because of waste material disposal from production site and immediate disposal of household that cause water pollution. Paracetamol is degraded by photolysis method under irradiation 10 watt UV-light (λ=365 nm), visible-light (Philips LED 13 watt 1400 lux) and solar-light with and without addition C-N-codoped TiO2catalyst. The solution is analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer at λ 200-400 nm. Optimum weight of C-N-codoped TiO2 catalyst obtained is 20 mg under UV-light photolysis. Paracetamol 4 mg/L is degraded 45.48% after 120 minutes under UV-light irradiation without catalyst, and increases to be 69.31% by using 20 mg catalyst. While degradation percentage of paracetamol is 16.96 % without catalyst, the percentage increases to be 34.29% after using 20 mg catalyst for 120 minutes photolysis under visible-light. Degradation of paracetamol by solar light achieves only 12.27% in absance of catalyst for 120 minutes irradiation, but it increases significantly until 70.39% in presence of 20 mg catalyst.

In this study, a simple method to obtain silica from corncob ash has been investigated using a nonthermal and thermal method. The Nonthermal method was done by various acid treatment with HCl, HBr and citric acid at room temperature. Thermal method was performed for HCl-leached, HBr-leached, and citric acid-leached corncob in the furnace at 750 ºC for 5 hours. Corncob ash was characterized by Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscope-electron dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). In this study silica content increase after acid treatment (leaching) and combustion at high temperatures. The result established that silica is most obtained with HCl treatment that is equal to 79,95% with lower metallic oxide impurity content. The FTIR spectra with different intensity shows silanol group at 1636 – 1641 cm-1, whereas siloxane group at 1037 – 1106 cm-1, 616–797 cm-1, and 459–469 cm-1. X-Ray diffractogram shows silica transition pf amorphous (2θ = 21 - 25º) to quartz crystalline (2θ = 26.66º) phase. The surface morphology of silica that characterized with SEM-EDX shows amorphous and crystalline silica corresponds to XRD result. The high intensity spectra of Si and O in EDX shows the presence of silica in corncob ash.
Közlések grammatikai szerkesztettsége 6–9 éves gyermekek narratíváiban
Authors: Horváth Viktória
Published: January 2018

A tanulmány 6–9 éves gyermekek spontán narratívájában a szintaktikai szerkesztettséget vizsgálja a közlésegységek fejlődési mutatójának módszerével. A kutatás kérdése az, hogy milyen a gyermekek közléseinek grammatikai komplexitása az adott életkorokban, illetve hogy miként változik a közlések szerkesztettsége, a narratívák hossza és a beszédtempó évről évre. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a 6–8 éves gyermekekhez képest a 9 évesek több szóból álló narratívákat hoztak létre, ezek grammatikai szempontból összetettebbek is voltak. A vizsgálat a gyermekek között óriási egyéni különbségeket adatolt. A nyelvi szint fejlettsége hatással lehet a tanulásra, illetve a tanultak írásbeli/szóbeli visszaadására, a nyelvi performancia eltérő szintje kihathat a tanulási folyamat sikerességére.

Authors: Fülöp Károly
Published: January 2018

A tanulmány egy felnőttek írásstratégiáit elemző kutatás keretében tanár szakos hallgatók esszészövegeit vizsgálja. Összefoglalja a hasonló tárgyú, korábbi kutatások főbb eredményeit, majd bemutatja a szerzőnek az esszészövegek grammatikai vizsgálatában kapott eredményeit. A kutatás kiterjed az egyes bekezdésekben megjelenő mondattípusokra, az esszészövegekben előforduló egyszerű és összetett mondatok arányára; a szövegterjedelem, a mondatszám és az egyes mondattípusok összefüggéseire; az utaló- és a kötőszók használatára, a mondatszintű alá- és mellérendelő kapcsolatok elemzésére. A tanulmány – a kutatás korábbi szakaszainak folytatásaként – kitér a nemek eltérő szövegalkotási sajátosságaira, valamint a bölcsész, a természettudományi és a vegyes szakos tanárjelölt hallgatók dolgozataiban kimutatható grammatikai különbségekre is. A kutatási eredmények hasznosíthatók lehetnek nemcsak a további kutatásokban, hanem a középiskolai anyanyelvi nevelésben is.
A romani beszéd és az óvoda
Authors: Heltai János Imre , Kulcsár Sándorné
Published: January 2018

A tanulmány egy olyan tiszavasvári roma közösséget mutat be, amelynek tagjai úgy beszélnek, hogy a magyarhoz és a romanihoz köthető nyelvi források a mindenkori kommunikációs célnak leginkább megfelelően jelenjenek meg a beszédükben. A beszélésnek ez a módja a transzlingválás terminusával írható le. Ez nemcsak beszédmódot, hanem az ezeket a beszédmódokat az iskolába bevonó nyelvpedagógiai perspektívát és módszertant is jelöl. A tanulmány áttekinti, hogy a közösség integrált kétnyelvűségi normáinak és a közösségen kívüli környezet egynyelvűségi normáinak az erőterében hogyan alakul a nyelvi szocializáció. Bemutatja a Tiszavasvári Magiszter Óvoda munkatársai által fejlesztett Szó-Beszéd.Kom nyelvi-kommunikációs programot, amely az óvoda reakciója az ideológiák ezen ellentétéből fakadó nehézségekre. Elemzi azt is, hogy milyen új lehetőségeket kínál az óvodának a transzlingváló kommunikáció pedagógiája.

El liderazgo resonante desde la perspectiva de la educación intercultural en los estudiantes de pregrado (The resonant leadership from the perspective of the intercultural education in undergraduate students)
Authors: OJS Úrsula Romaní, Jorge Rivera , Rivera Jorge
Published: January 2018

Este artículo presenta el liderazgo resonante y sus beneficios en el desarrollo de una Educación Intercultural Universitaria en el Perú, ya que no se practica un liderazgo resonante en las universidades, sino que al desconocer e interpretar las emociones de los demás se genera una disonancia que puede desencadenar un conjunto de problemas sociales como la discriminación, dado que cada estudiante presente una manera de expresarse y puede terminar rechazando al otro. Puesto que ellos no han alcanzado la empatía entre sus compañeros y sienten al otro como un extraño y los problemas sociales como ajenos.Para evitar esto, se debería aplicar el liderazgo resonante en los docentes y así el educando aprenderá en condiciones sociales favorables, debido a su modelo donde observará la inteligencia emocional en la interacción de las diferentes culturas.Por ello, se debe promover e impulsar el liderazgo resonante en los docentes en la educación superior.
Asociación de la enfermedad periodontal y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (Association between periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus)
Authors: Valenzuela Narváez Rocío Violeta
Published: January 2018

La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es un trastorno metabólico, que se manifiesta en la cavidad oral a través de caries coronaria y radicular, síndrome de boca ardiente, xerostomía, alteración de la erupción de los dientes e hipertrofia de las glándulas salivales, entre otras características. La enfermedad periodontal es una enfermedad infecciosa-inflamatoria. El objetivo del estudio es determinar la asociación de la enfermedad periodontal y diabetes mellitus tipo 2, y la máxima necesidad de tratamiento de acuerdo a los valores del Community Periodontal Index Treatment Needs (CPITN). Se realizó un estudio de control de casos para evaluar el estado de salud periodontal en 44 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, en comparación con un grupo control conformado por 44 pacientes no diabéticos. Ambos grupos fueron evaluados, utilizando la sonda periodontal WHO CPI (Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA). Los resultados muestran para el valor 0 (P <0,05) GC: 2.27%, el valor 1 (P <0,05) GC: 18,18%. El valor 2 (P <0,05) del GC: 27.27%. El valor 3 (P <0,05) DM tipo 2: 31,81%. El valor 4 (P <0,05) DM tipo 2: 47,42%. Los valores 3 (P=1.923*) y 4 (P=11.207*) fueron significativamente mayores en DM tipo 2. En conclusión, se determina que las probabilidades de presentar los valores más altos del CPITN, estarían asociados a los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.

Urban stormwater runoff thermal characteristics and mitigation effect of low impact development measures
Authors: Li Junqi , Gong Yongwei , Li Xiaojing , Yin Dingkun , Shi Honghong
Published: January 2018

Thermal pollution has become a severe environmental problem in China, but studies on thermal characteristics of urban stormwater runoff are scarce. The thermal enrichment of runoff from typical land surfaces was assessed during 2012–2014 in Beijing and Shenzhen, China. The temperature of stormwater runoff from rooftops, grass surfaces and different types of road surfaces was investigated under different rainfall conditions. The mitigation effects of low impact development (LID) measures were also evaluated. Impervious asphalt or concrete surfaces store and transfer heat, and were found to cause thermal enrichment of runoff from the start of a rainfall event. In addition to surface types, pre-event weather conditions and rainfall intensity influenced runoff temperature. The pervious surface of open graded friction course (OGFC) pavement postponed the time of peak runoff temperature. The retention volume of bioretention cells resulted in thermal energy mitigation by directing runoff into the soil and vegetative cover. The grass swales showed effective reduction of runoff temperature by approximately 1–2°C compared to asphalt, concrete and marble pavements. Therefore, LID measures, such as OGFC porous pavements, bioretention cells and grass swales, can mitigate the thermal impacts of urban stormwater runoff and alleviate resulting ecological problems.
Impact assessment of land use/land cover and climate change on streamflow regionalization in an ungauged catchment
Authors: Swain Janaki Ballav , Patra Kanhu Charan
Published: January 2018

The variation in land use/land cover (LULC) and climate have a direct impact on the accuracy of any hydrological prediction. However, quantification of the effect of these two factors in an ungauged catchment setting is less discussed. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in combination with two regionalization techniques, i.e., Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) and Kriging were applied on 32 catchments in India where each catchment was considered as ungauged at least once. The combined and isolated impacts of LULC change (LULCC) and climate variability on streamflow for the period of 1990–2011 were quantified at an annual scale through four different cases. Satisfactory results were obtained from SWAT for the analysis of both the gauged and ungauged set-up. The overall outcomes suggest that, due to the influence of the combined effects of LULCC and climate variability, there was a decrease in the annual streamflow volume by more than 21% from the first period (1990–2000) to the second period (2001–2011) in the selected catchment treated as ungauged. The variable climate factor overshadowed the effect of LULCC. The result may be correlated with the increase in temperature and the decrease in rainfall volume, which is distinctive in a monsoon-dominated country like India.
