Un espacio para los lectores
Authors: Magán Joaquín Juan José
Published: December 2020

Este ensayo propone la idea de la lectura literaria como creadora de un espacio propio para los lectores. Pensamos que esta es la conjunción final de dos espacios formados previamente: primero, el del artista creador de una obra, el del escritor, un espacio vacío-negativo, desde donde se genera la literatura, y el del lector, un espacio en un inicio vacío e impulsado por el enigma y la perplejidad, con el que forma un propio territorio poético. El objeto que une estos dos espacios es el libro, el cual, por medio del lenguaje, de las palabras, funciona como un puente por donde el lector transita hacia la formación de su subjetividad y la construcción de un sí mismo. Nuestra propuesta principalmente dialoga y se apoya en las reflexiones de las obras de la escritora argentina Graciela Montes, el escritor francés Maurice Blanchot y la filósofa alemana Hannah Arendt.
Presente y futuro de los datos abiertos: análisis y reflexión del caso peruano
Authors: Ponce Villegas Albert Moisés
Published: December 2020

Los datos son el petróleo del siglo XXI, aunque su valor como catalizador de mejores decisiones gubernamentales aún no desenvaina todo su potencial debido a una visión reduccionista por parte del Gobierno y a la poca apropiación e interiorización de la sociedad. En el presente ensayo intentamos exponer la utilidad, importancia, los avances y retos de los datos abiertos. En un primer momento, nos adentramos a explorar las encomiables y perfectibles prácticas nacionales en materia de datos abiertos durante la crisis de la COVID-19. Posteriormente, exteriorizamos nuestro flotante rezago en comparación a nuestros aliados de la Alianza del Pacífico, así como trazamos dos hitos a los que deberíamos aspirar en el enigmático futuro que nos depara.
Finalmente, compilamos algunas sugerencias manifestadas por organismos internacionales en relación a nuestra región y país que deberíamos tener en cuenta.
Italian Theories About Accounting Measurements From the Twenties to the Sixties: Looking for Underlying Tendencies
Authors: Gonnella Enrico
Published: December 2020

The main subject of this paper is the theory of accounting valuations as observed from a historical perspective. In particular, this research concerns the most significant theoretical concepts developed through the Italian doctrine between the 1920s and the 1960s. This period was a historical phase of great cultural ferment, characterised by the progressive deepening of the subject of accounting valuations by Italian scholars.Most of the attention has been focused on those scholars who, by developing theses among the most innovative and original, made significant contributions to the advancement of Italian accounting: Gino Zappa, Vittorio Alfieri, Francesco De Gobbis, Pietro Onida, Lorenzo De Minico, Alberto Ceccherelli, and Egidio Giannessi. These scholars, aware that the valuative problem could not be addressed with simple valuation rules, were interested in finding general principles that could be useful models of behaviour for the accounting practise. These principles made it possible to understand that valuation, being a process that transcends the simple mechanistic application of predefined rules, requires the formulation of a judgment based on the observation of the firm’s specific characteristics and of those of the external environment in which it operates.The analysis allowed the main trends in the examined evolutionary process to be identified, including the progressive relativisation as well as the increasing subjectivity of values, the penchant towards a holistic approach to the problem of accounting valuations, and last, but at the same time first from a doctrinal point of view, the tendency toward a scientification of the discipline of financial accounting measurements.
Multi-Stakeholder Perspectives of Environmental Accountability Practices in the Mining Sector
Authors: Tackie George
Published: December 2020

This paper analyses environmental accountability practices (EAP) in the mining sector from the perspectives of multi-stakeholders. The study adopts a purely qualitative approach to research in terms of research method, data collection and data analysis. Interview data was gathered from a sample of twenty-one predominantly large-scale mining firms in Ghana. Based on responses from the interview respondents, themes from the literature and empirical material, stakeholders’ perspectives were analysed regarding (1) motivations for EAP; (2) effectiveness of EAP; (3) performance assessment based on EAP; and (4) stakeholder engagements regarding EAP. This paper analyses EAP in Ghana’s mining industry from the viewpoint of multi-stakeholders – regulatory bodies, mining companies, environmental managers, community partners, environmental consultants, and mining association. The findings reveal the commonality of acceptable and responsible EAP that can lead to a ‘win-win’ situation for all stakeholders in the mining industry. Mining firms should increase their focus on practicing value-added EAP in all facets of mining operations. They should also strengthen their engagement with indigenes, and not only local elites, and align their EAP efforts with the immediate needs of the local communities. The novelty of this paper is the determination of the drivers (the ‘why’), outputs (the ‘how’), and outcomes (the benefits) of EAP which is missing in the EAP literature.
How Tiered English Instruction Affects Reading Comprehension of Thai Students in Mixed-Ability EFL Classrooms
Authors: White Piyawadee , Vibulphol Jutarat
Published: December 2020

One challenge teachers have when teaching mixed-ability classrooms is ensuring that each student is appropriately supported and challenged based on their current ability. Tiering is an instructional strategy proposed in the Differentiated Instruction approach to address this issue. This article explores how an English reading course that tiered the content, process, and product affected the reading comprehension of ninth grade EFL students. The three elements were tiered to serve three groups of students—basic, grade-level, and advanced. Two parallel pretest and posttest were used to collect the data. The positive effects of the tiered instruction on the students’ reading comprehension in this study suggest further implementation of tiered instruction in other EFL classrooms. Further research should explore how tiered instruction functions with different learner demographics and in other language skill settings.

Este artigo discute, a partir da literatura, as causas, características, termos e conceitos que envolvem o fenômeno do radicalismo de direita, cujo ressurgimento tem ocorrido em diversos países do mundo, desde o fim do século XX. Embora não haja muitos consensos no campo de pesquisa, a literatura tem apresentado padrões entre as diversas ocorrências e chamado a atenção para o fato de que essa ideologia tem se instalado em democracias, disputando visibilidade e o voto dos eleitores por meio de modelos de Estado e sociedade autoritários, restritivos e antiplurais, a partir de performances ofensivas e exaltadas contra certos grupos sociais (outgroups), modalizados como inimigos da nação
Shura and Pluralism from an Islamic Perspective “Jordanian Parties, as a Model”
Authors: Al-Adwan Abdalhaleem
Published: December 2020

Shura and pluralism are two sides of ideologically different ideas, Islamic thought that adopts the Shura as an Islamic democratic system and Western thought embraces political pluralism. As for the Jordanian Islamic trend, since its establishment in 1945, it has been involved in political work and supported the system of government in facing the challenges it faced, and it was not involved in any subversive or terrorist acts. After 1989 he began participating in political and party pluralism, seeing Shura's concept as a feature of Islamic thinkers and thought in pluralism and democracy. That pluralism is a permissible and legitimate interest, has coexisted with left and middle political currents being the largest and most influential political currents on the Jordanian scene.
Factors Affecting the Success in Certified Public Accountant Exam in Kuwait
Authors: Al-Duwaila Nabi , AL-Mutairi Abdullah
Published: December 2020

The aim of the article is to assess the variables that are influenced performance on the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Kuwait. To achieve the aim of the study, structure questionnaire was improved and delivered to a sample of (150) of the study population of candidates recently licensed CPAs to find out their interpretations of the causes that influence their performance on the CPA exam, the amount of questionnaires returned and ready for analysis was (120),with a reply rate of 80%.

The study showed that the success of the CPA exam in Kuwait is generally dependent on factors related to the exam itself and the candidate who is taking the exam. It reported that the most important challenges linked to the CPA exam are unlimited scope of the CPA exam followed by the exam's questions do not cover all subjects and the exam does not measure the examinee's capabilities. Moreover, the analysis showed that insufficient preparation of the exam is the main variable affecting the performance of CPA exam followed by accepting the idea of repeating the exam. Finally, the study recommends that academicians in accounting should train the students for the exam. They should pay attention to curriculum to assure that learners are provided the good training for the examination.
The Effect of Implicit Corrective Feedback on English Writing of International Second Language Learners
Authors: Khadawardi Hanadi Abdulrahman
Published: December 2020

Debate about the value and the effect of both kinds of corrective feedback, explicit and implicit on second language writing has been prominent in recent years. Second language writing researchers investigate whether written implicit corrective feedback facilitates the acquisition of linguistic features. In contrast, L2 writing researchers generally emphasize the question of whether written corrective feedback helps student writers improve their writing texts and reduces their language errors. Understanding these differences is important because it provides guidelines for English language writing teachers on what are the best way to provide feedback for student writers. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of implicit corrective feedback on the English writing of international second language learners in a UK educational context. It scrutinizes the application of teacher implicit written feedback in relation to the advancement of the writing skill of second language learners within a short-term period. A case study consisting of a small group of international students received implicit written feedback through codes representing specific types of writing errors. Participants were also interviewed to understand their views regarding teacher implicit written feedback and their reactions towards it. The results of the study revealed that teacher implicit written feedback helped correcting particular type of errors while other errors mandated the intervention of the teacher oral feedback.

Authors: Guillén Martínez Alberto , Andreu Gálvez Marina , Rodríguez Sanz Sara , Hernández Ruiz Paula , García Morillas Antonio , Esteban Sánchez Tomás
Published: December 2020

Objectives: To determine the incidence of smell and taste disorders in our health department and to analyse the factors that could be associated with these symptoms in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: We conducted an observational descriptive study of all patients with COVID-19 in our health area diagnosed between 2020/03/10 and 2020/04/14. Factors related to smell and taste disorders were analysed.
Results: A total of 126 patients, 63 women and 63 men, aged 16–80 years, were included. As many as 69 patients (62.7%) presented hyposmia, and 58 (46%) of them had anosmia. A total of 75 patients (59.5%) presented hypogeusia, and 57 (45.2%) of them had ageusia. The risk factors that were most commonly associated with these disorders were the female sex (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 2.43 for smell disorders and 2.44 for taste disorders), allergic rhinitis (aOR 3.34 for smell disorders) and a younger age. A protective factor was arterial hypertension (aOR 0.51 for smell disorders and 0.35 for taste disorders). A history of tonsillectomy was the risk factor for taste disorder (aOR 5.23).
Conclusion: Our results indicate that these sensory disorders occurred more frequently in female patients and in young patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection who progressed with mild nasal congestion, posterior rhinorrhoea and without anterior rhinorrhoea. The recovery of taste occurred before the recovery of smell.

Göttinger Naturrecht. 300 Jahre Gottfried Achenwall (1719 – 1772) – eine Einführung
Authors: Brecher Martin , Hirsch Philipp-Alexander , Klingner Stefan
Published: December 2020

This article serves as an introduction to this special issue on Gottfried Achenwall (1719-1772). Section I briefly sketches Achenwall’s intellectual biography, outlines the disciplines he taught at Göttingen and closes by highlighting the importance and extensive use of Achenwall’s textbooks, in particular his Ius naturae, at universities in eighteenth-century Germany. Section II provides an overview of Achenwall’s natural law doctrine as found in the first edition of his natural law textbook, the Elementa iuris naturae (1750), touching on the principle of obligation and the system of duties, innate and acquired rights, the law of societies, public law and the justification of state power. In section III, we turn to Immanuel Kant’s engagement with Achenwall, pointing out general features of Kant’s critical reception of Achenwall by means of a number of examples before discussing particular differences in the justification of legal coercion, the conception of the household society and marriage law, and, finally, the discussion of the right of resistance. Section IV provides a brief overview of the subsequent articles that deal with Achenwall’s theory of natural law.
Zurechnung und Rechtsprechung bei Achenwall
Authors: Møller Sofie
Published: December 2020

The doctrine of imputation is at the centre of Gottfried Achenwall’s theory of natural law. Together with obligation (obligatio), imputation (imputatio) is, according to Ach­enwall, one of the two basic forces of a law. In contrast to Samuel von Pufendorf, he claims that imputation requires a binding law. This article shows how Achenwall’s doc­trine of imputation forms the link between law and free action and finds its form of implementation in the rulings of the courts. Imputation shows in praxi how ‘Is’ and ‘Ought’ are connected in an evaluative judgement, and in this way makes it possible to evaluate a free action in the light of a moral or legal law.
Pflichtenkollision bei Achenwall/Pütter
Authors: Joerden Jan C.
Published: December 2020

In § 116 of Achenwall/Pütter Elementa Iuris Naturae the following possibilities of conflicts of duties are listed: “There can be a conflict 1. of prohibiting laws with each other, 2. of prescribing laws with each other, 3. of prescribing laws with prohibiting laws.” It will be examined in this article, whether the three theses can be made plausible by examples, and especially, whether thesis No. 1 is convincing in relation to the idea that perfect duties (or prohibiting laws) cannot come into conflict with each other. Fur­thermore the thesis of Immanuel Kant in his Metaphysics of Morals will be discussed, that there is no conflict of duties at all, but only a “contradiction of reasons of binding­ness”. Finally, the argument of Achenwall/Pütter, that the well known duty “bring your­self to perfection!” (Latin: “perfice te!”) may come into conflict with duties in respect to others, and that an argument for a right to act against others in cases of necessity can be given in this context (cf. Achenwall/Pütter, §§ 118, 205, 296).
The Library of a Madrasa in Aleppo at the End of the Ottoman Era
Authors: Aljoumani Said
Published: December 2020

This study provides a unique insight into the book culture of Aleppo in the 19th century. The document at the heart of this book is the ‘renewed register of the books endowed by ʿUthmān Pāshā’. This register allows a new perspective on what subjects were taught in madrasas and what subjects such a madrasa library covered. Among its over 1200 titles we find a variety of different subjects, most importantly those concerned with the transmitted fields of knowledge. Yet, this document also sheds light on the day-to-day working of the library as it sets out the job description of the librarian, the intended audience as well as the usage conditions in previous book endowments. In a second part, this study follows the 20th-century trajectory of the books that once sat on the shelves of this library. Most importantly, it succeeds in identifying for almost half of the titles the actual manuscript among the holdings of the Syrian National Library in Damascus.
Deutschsprachige Reiseberichte über Korea um 1900
Authors: Hong Jihee
Published: December 2020

The period around 1900 marks the threshold from “not knowing” to “knowing” about Korea. During this time the first German-language travelogue appeared. The study is based on four selected travelogues written between 1880 and 1915 and analyzes the representational strategies of the text and pictures on their “knowledge of Korea”. The material has hardly been explored to date. It is examined against the background of the complex relationship between travel literature and the generation and transfer of knowledge about the “other culture”, as well as the cultural practices and power structures associated with it. The perspective of the South Korean Germanist on the writings of “the others”, the German-speaking Europeans, about her “own” heritage, the Korean Culture, is extraordinarily revealing.
The Spectrum of β-Thalassemia Mutations in Batman, South-Eastern Turkey
Authors: YİLMAZ Sedat
Published: December 2020

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the mutation types and the frequencies of these mutations in the patients with thalassemia in Batman province and to provide the use of these findings in genetic counselling.

Methods: The study included 46 patients (27 male and 19 female) with a mean age of 9.5 ± 3.6 years (range: 3-16 years). In this study, mutations were determined by sequence analysis method.

Results: 7 different mutations were detected in patients. IVS-I-110 (G>A) (56.25%), codon 44 (-C) del (16.25%), IVS-I-1 (G>A) (12.5%), IVS- II-1 (G>A) (6.25%) were the most common and they were found to constitute 91.25% of the cases. As in other regions of Turkey, IVI-1-110 (G >A) was the most frequent mutation detected. In this study; 28 mutant alleles including IVS-I-110 (G>A)/IVS-I-1 (G> A) (4), IVS-I-110 (G>A)/IVS-II-1 (G> A) (4), codon 8 (-AA) del/IVS-1-110 (G>A) (1), codon 8 (-AA) del/ codon 44 (-C)del (1), codon 15 (GG-GA)/codon 44 (-C) del (1), codon 44 (-C) del/IVS-I-1 (G> A) (1), codon 44 (-C) del/ IVS-II-1 (G> A) (1), codon 44 (-C)del/IVS-I-110 (G>A) (1) were found to have formed a compound heterozygous mutation. Among the β-thalassemia patients in Batman province, 29 (56.25%) were determined to have β⁺ mutation, and 26 (43.75%) had β° mutation.

Conclusion: It is important that we, in our study, discovered IVS-II-1 (G>A) mutation compounded with heterozygous in five patients and codon 8 (-AA) del mutation as homozygous in one patient who presented a clinical manifestation of thalassemia intermedia despite having homozygous beta thalassemia. These results will contribute to genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.
Copeptin levels are more elevated and associated with cardiovascular events in the unity of chronic ischemic heart and chronic kidney diseases
Authors: BABAT Naci
Published: December 2020

Objective: Copeptin comprises the C-terminal part of the Arginine vasopressin (AVP) precursor, is co-secreted with AVP and is a stable surrogate marker for AVP release, making it much easier to measure. Elevated levels of serum copeptin in both cardiovascular and renal diseases were known but the amount and predictive value of copeptin in the unity of these diseases is unknown.

Methods: A study composed equally divided five groups, total of 150 adult patients. Group I and group II composed study groups which included the patients of chronic ischemic heart (CHID) and chronic kidney diseases (CKD) respectively. Control groups such as group III, IV and V included only patients of CHID or CKD. Copeptin, hs-CRP and pro-BNP levels were analyzed in all patients and their relationship with adverse outcomes were evaluated.

Results: Serum levels of copeptin, hs-CRP and pro-BNP were higher in patients of study groups than patients of control groups and it was found statistically meaningful (p
Anticoagulant And Antiplatelet Medication Awareness Of Preoperative Patients
Authors: TOLUNAY Hatice
Published: December 2020

Objective: To determine anticoagulant and anti-platelet medication awareness of peri-operative patients

Method: A questionnaire was applied to the 208 preoperative patients taking anticoagulants (AC) or anti-platelets (AP). The questionnaire included the questions about whether they were using any drug that thinners blood or prevents clots, indication and duration of drug use, whether they underwent an operation while using the drug, whether they knew that the drug should be discontinued in case of undergoing an operation and presence of a planned surgical procedure when commencing the drug.

Results: Mean age of the study population was 63.3±12.7 years and 50.5% of the patients were male, 27.9 % of the patients were illiterate, 39.4% of patients were not aware of using AC or AP and 12.5% of patients didn’t know duration of AC or AP use. An operation had been planned before commencement of the drug in 9.1% of the patients. The incidence of undergoing a surgical procedure while using AC or AP was 18.8%. While 23.1 % were urgent, 76.9% were elective procedures. General anesthesia was applied in 41% of these patients. When the patients who were aware or unaware of AC or AP use were compared, mean age was younger and level of education was higher among the patients who were aware of using AC or AP (p=0,018 and p
Omuz Ultrasonografi İncelemesi Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme’nin Yerini Alabilir Mi?
Authors: ERDOĞAN Hasan
Published: December 2020

Amaç: Omuz patolojilerinin incelenmesinde manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) altın standart tetkiktir, ancak statik bir yöntemdir, maliyeti yüksektir ve inceleme zamanı uzundur. Ultrasonografi (US) ise hızlı sonuç veren, kolay uygulanan, ucuz ve yaygın bir görüntüleme yöntemidir, fakat MRG’ye göre daha subjektiftir ve tecrübeye oldukça bağımlıdır. Biz bu çalışmada omuz eklemi patolojilerinin tanısında, artan tecrübe ile birlikte US’nin tanısal doğruluğunu MRG ile karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.

Yöntemler: Yeterli düzeyde omuz US tecrübesi olmayan bir radyolog, omuz US ile ilgili mevcut literatürü okudu. Daha sonra 2 hafta boyunca, MRG bulguları bilinen 100 hastaya eğitim amaçlı olarak US incelemesi yapıldı. Sonraki 5 hafta boyunca ise, her hafta 50 hasta olmak üzere, çalışmaya dahil edilen toplam 250 hastaya önce US, sonra MRG tetkiki yapılarak, artan US tecrübesi ile birlikte, US ve MRG bulguları arasındaki uyumun artıp artmadığı araştırıldı.

Bulgular: Hastaların 160'ı (%64) kadın, 90'ı (%36) erkekti. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 54±11,7 olarak saptandı. Her hafta incelenen hastalar ayrı bir grup olacak şekilde, toplam 5 grup şeklinde değerlendirme yapıldı. İlerleyen haftalara göre artan US tecrübesi ile birlikte elde edilen sensitivite, spesifite, pozitif prediktif değer ve negatif prediktif değerler hesaplandı.

Sonuç: Omuz eklemi patolojilerinde yeterince tecrübe kazanıldığında US’de tanısal doğruluk belirgin düzeyde artmaktadır. Parsiyel yırtıklarda US’nin başarısı MRG’nin gerisindedir. Eklem aralığında efüzyonu göstermede US, MRG’ye göre geride kalırken, subakromial-subdeltoid efüzyonu göstermede sensitivite ve spesifite MRG’ye yakındır. US’nintotal yırtıkları, biceps tenosinovitini ve akromioklaviküler eklem dejenerasyonunu saptama oranları MRG ile benzer düzeydedir. Kalsifik tendinitleri, biceps subluksasyonu-dislokasyonunu ve impingementi göstermede ise US’nin MRG’den daha başarılı olduğu görülmüştür.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aspirin on hematuria and cardiovascular events after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Methods: This case-control study was conducted at Sina hospital, an affiliated hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, in 2018. We assessed 132 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who underwent TURP in two groups (66 patients in each group). In the first group, aspirin was withdrawn 5 - 7 days before the surgery. In the second group, aspirin was given without discontinuation before the surgery. Both groups were followed for 30 days to be compared regarding hematuria, duration of hospitalization, Hb decline rate, the necessity for blood transfusion, secondary hematuria, duration of Foley catheter fixation, and cardiovascular complications after TURP. Results: The duration of Foley catheter fixation, Hb decline rate, and duration of hospitalization were significantly associated with aspirin consumption (P value < 0.05) while blood transfusion, secondary hematuria, and cardiac complications did not correlate with aspirin usage. Conclusions: Aspirin consumption might be a risk factor for Foley catheter fixation duration, blood loss, and length of hospital stay.
LIMITS OF DISCOURSE: EXAMPLES FROM POLITICAL, ACADEMIC, AND HUMAN-AGENT INTERACTION
Authors: Schmied Josef
Published: December 2020

This contribution looks at modern discourse from two perspectives. It tries to show that the term ‘discourse’ has been expanded over the last few decades to include more phenomena and more disciplines that use it as a basis for their analyses. But it also tries to show that discourse in the sense of effective interaction has met its limits. The fundamental question is: When is discourse real discourse, i.e. more than a series of unrelated utterances and when is it coherent interactive communication? This paper does not intend to provide a new overall theoretical-methodological model, it uses examples from political discourse to demonstrate that popular discourse is often unfortunately less interactive than seems necessary, examples from academic discourse to illustrate that community conventions are being standardised more and more, and from humanoid-human discourse to argue that it is still difficult to construct agents that are recognised as discourse partners by human beings. Theoretical approaches to discuss these limits of discourse include coherence andintentionality. They can be applied to show where lack of cohesion in discourse indicates lack of cohesion in society.

ASSESSMENT OF ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES IN FUSED DEPOSITION MODELLING PARTS
Authors: ADARGOMA SUAREZ GARCIA LUIS , ESPINOSA ESCUDERO MARIA DEL MAR , DOMINGUEZ SOMONTE MANUEL
Published: December 2020

This study shows an assessment of binding techniques for parts produced by additive manufacturing (AM), specifically by fused deposition modelling (FDM). A deep search in various sources allows obtaining an updated picture of the different binding techniques for the assembly of FDM parts. The study focuses on FDM due to its wide use both at industrial and domestic levels.
Although plastic parts are usually assembled using adhesives, welding or mechanical systems, the joining of AM parts needs special attention, starting at the design process of the part. The usual restrictions of AM parts makes necessary to split a big part into smaller ones, which will be later assembled together. The reduction of equipment costs and design limitations and their high flexibility have made that AM devices to experience an impressive growth recently, existing an urgent need both in the scientific and users’ community of methods for assembling AM parts. The use of smart materials is an innovative promising strategy to produce snap fits for easier disassembly processes.

Experimentando con los sentidos: un rincón de ciencias en Educación Infantil
Authors: Puig Gutiérrez María , López-Lozano Lidia , García Rodríguez Rocío
Published: December 2020

Desde la Didáctica de las Ciencias se señala la idoneidad y necesidad de trabajar ciencias desde las edades más tempranas. Bajo esa premisa, se plantea una propuesta didáctica para trabajar la temática de los sentidos basada en el constructivismo que adopta la metodología de rincones. Se detallan las 5 actividades de carácter libre que conforman este rincón, una por cada sentido. La intervención se desarrolló en un centro de Educación Infantil de la provincia de Sevilla. La experiencia ha resultado atractiva para el alumnado por la multitud y diversidad de materiales usados y por las cuestiones planteadas. La dinámica de las actividades les ha dotado de mayor autonomía en su proceso de experimentación, asimismo se aprecia el paso de su desarrollo inicial, esencialmente individual, a uno colectivo. Concluimos que el carácter abierto de las actividades y las preguntas que las desencadenan resultan claves en los procesos de indagación experimentados.

La polifuncionalidad de los marcadores discursivos en E/LE según unidad y posición
Authors: Pardo Llibrer Adrià
Published: December 2020

Este trabajo aplica la segmentación en unidades discursivas del modelo Val.Es.Co. a los marcadores bueno, pues y hombre. Se analizan, así, las funciones descritas para estos marcadores en el Diccionario de partículas discursivas del español, las cuales se organizan según una relación de posición y ámbito con respecto a una unidad del discurso dada. Ello facilita una comparación de funciones entre estas formas e invita a diferentes desarrollos didácticos en el aula de e/le según un usuario u otro.
Qué decir cuando te preguntan ¿qué tal? Saludos en clase de ELE para hablantes de polaco
Authors: Kotwica Dorota
Published: December 2020

Este artículo trata de las cuestiones socioculturales relacionadas con los saludos coloquiales con pregunta por la salud (¿qué tal?, ¿cómo estás?). Se pretende cumplir un doble objetivo: en primer lugar, desde el punto de vista teórico, se ofrece una reseña de las diferencias básicas de este tipo de saludos en español y en polaco. En segundo lugar, desde el punto de vista aplicado, se ofrece una secuencia de actividades prácticas orientadas a mejorar la competencia comunicativa de los alumnos con un nivel B1. La propuesta promueve la observación y la reflexión acerca de las reglas que rigen el empleo de las preguntas por la salud en español. Para ello, se utilizan muestras de textos (orales y escritos) producidos por los hablantes nativos.
La dualidad en el relato La noche boca arriba de Julio Cortázar desde la gramática pedagógica
Authors: Paulo Selvi Isabel Amparo
Published: December 2020

La enseñanza de la gramática en el aula de ELE no está exenta de controversia y de dificultades. El estudiante de ELE necesita una instrucción formal, una enseñanza gramatical explícita que le permita interiorizar las normas y convertir ese conocimiento explícito en implícito. 
El relato de Cortázar propone una transgresión temporal (un juego con analepsis y prolepsis), dentro de una estructura narrativa que se desarrolla a través de dos deícticos temporales -aquí / allá- y una compleja red de morfología verbal. Este artículo ofrece actividades realizadas desde la perspectiva de una gramática pedagógica, en la que el alumno participa activamente en su proceso de aprendizaje, para lograr una mejor comprensión de los tiempos verbales, uno de los problemas gramaticales recurrentes en el aula de ELE.
Notas sobre la enseñanza de alfabetización a inmigrantes adultos
Authors: Sosinski Marcin , Young-Scholten Martha , Naeb Rola
Published: December 2020

En este trabajo, a partir del análisis del concepto de alfabetización, se presentan brevemente cinco herramientas y metodologías para la adquisición de la lectoescritura por parte de inmigrantes adultos. La alfabetización es un proceso paulatino y los alumnos adultos que se alfabetizan en una nueva lengua tienen perfiles diversos, por lo tanto, es necesario proporcionarles apoyo específico, adaptado a sus necesidades. El método de palabra generadora y el Instructor Digital de Alfabetización se centran en la decodificación inicial de palabras. En cambio, el enfoque de experiencia lingüística y el proyecto de creación de libros de lectura Simple Stories son apropiados para mejorar la comprensión lectora. Por último, la Plataforma de Lenguas de Herencia aboga por el uso de la lengua materna de los alumnos.
Atrévete a ironizar: propuesta para la enseñanza de la prosodia y la kinesia de la ironía
Authors: Torres Soler Julio , Carbajo García Guadalupe , Aparicio del Olmo María del Pilar
Published: December 2020

La ironía es un fenómeno complejo que puede suponer un verdadero reto para los aprendientes de Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE). Sin embargo, los enunciados irónicos presentan marcas e indicadores que pueden facilitar al estudiante su aprendizaje. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una propuesta didáctica para enseñar las marcas prosódicas y kinésicas de la ironía, ante la falta de recursos que aborden estos rasgos. Para ello, nos basamos en los parámetros del método verbo-tonal y adoptamos un enfoque fonocognitivo, que abarca tanto la percepción como la producción de enunciados irónicos. Con la ayuda del programa informático PRAAT, de una metáfora visual y de diversos materiales audiovisuales, los estudiantes serán capaces de reconocer las particularidades del patrón entonativo de la ironía (subida de la f0, aumento de la duración), así como sus indicadores kinésicos (guiños, miradas, sonrisas, etcétera).
NEW GENERATION CRAFT: IKEA HACK AND ITS TAXONOMY
Authors: BERKTAŞ Sena , DİMLİ ORAKLIBEL Renk
Published: December 2020

In this research, IKEA-hacks are examined according to their main characteristics and classified according to these examinations. In the study, IKEA-hack and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and the IKEA Effect subjects are included to expose the IKEA-hack issue comprehensively. The IKEA-hacks examined in the classification were selected from the studies on the ikeahackers.net website. At first, a pilot study was carried out and a review table was created as a result of some improvements during the pilot study. The classification includes; the information about the intended use of products before and after the hack, to which hack category they belong to, how many IKEA products have been used in process, the instruments used in procedure, and which spaces the product has been prepared. The hack categories were divided into two main categories as visual and functional modifications. These modifications are discussed under 2 categories and 8 sub-categories. The first category is visual changes that includes only-colour modification (A), material change (B), colour and material change (C) as sub- categories. The second category is dedicated to functional changes and includes sub-categories such as; the products used without any modification but for a purpose other than specified by IKEA (D), improved functionality (E), those with added functionalities (F), modifications on the indented use specified by the company by making some modifications on the product (G), and creating a new product by combining independent parts (H). Among 6313 works presented on the ikeahackers.net website published between 2006 and 2018, 378 works involved in the sample were examined; the analyses were separately performed for every year and the changes were compared between the years. Examining the outcomes, only 21% of the practices were conducted for visual purposes only, %79 is about functionality. In visual based practices, category C comes front in which colour and material change performed at the same time. Whereas in the functional practices, people mostly performed Category G in which hackers redefine the context of usage of the IKEA products.

Authors: DOĞAN Seyhmus , ÜNALAN Duygu
Published: December 2020

The feedback loop provided by Web 2.0 technology provides an important opportunity for companies to keep the pulse of the consumer. In addition, the low cost of advertising has made social media channels attractive as an advertising platform. In recent years, the increasing importance of new internet and social media technologies as a source of health information has led the pharmaceutical industry to digital channels. The number of drug promotion in the world and Turkey is subject to legal regulations. The products in the group in Turkey only over the counter medicine can be advertised. In this context, in this study, semiotic analysis of the advertisements of Pharmaton and Supradyn supplements on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, which are classified as non-prescription drugs, has been made in order to reveal how social media environments are used in pharmaceutical marketing. A total of nine advertisements of the products, which were published on the mentioned social media channels between 01.03.2019-31.03.2019, were examined. It has been determined that the promotion of both products focuses on health, wellness and the energy provided by the products with linguistic and visual indicators.
Impact of government policies on Sustainable Petroleum Supply Chain (SPSC): A case study – Part II (The State of Nebraska)
Authors: Ghahremanlou Davoud , Kubiak Wieslaw
Published: December 2020

The accompanying part I (Ghahremanlou and Kubiak 2020) developed the Lean Model (LM), a two-stage stochastic programming model which incorporates Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (RFS2), Tax Credits, Tariffs, and Blend Wall (BW), to study the policy impact on the Sustainable Petroleum Supply Chain (SPSC) using cellulosic ethanol. The model enables us to study the impact by running computational experiments more efficiently and consequently by arriving at robust managerial insights much faster. In this paper, we present a case study of the policy impact on the SPSC in the State of Nebraska using the model. The case study uses available real-life data. The study shows that increasing RFS2 does not impact the amount of ethanol blended with gasoline but it might lead to bankruptcy of the refineries. We recommend that the government consider increasing the BW because of its positive economic, environmental and social impacts. For the same reason, we recommend that the tax credit for blending the US produced ethanol with gasoline be at least 0:189 $/gal and the tariff for imported ethanol be at least 1:501 $/gal. These also make the State independent from foreign ethanol thereby enhancing its energy security. Finally, the change in policy impacts the SPSC itself, most importantly it influences the strategic decisions, however setting up a bio-refinery at York county and a blending site at Douglas county emerge as the most robust location decisions against the policy change in the study.
