Racionalidad individual y acción colectiva. Los desafíos de la cooperación y la reciprocidad
Authors: De la Cuadra Fernando
Published: July 2018

El presente artículo es una reflexión teórica en torno a la capacidad mostrada por diversos colectivos y comunidades para emprender en conjunto actividades de carácter solidario y colaborativo, desmintiendo aquellas visiones que pretenden imponer la idea de que la naturaleza de las personas es intrínsecamente egoísta y racional, otorgando primacía al autointerés por sobre las otras acciones de tipo cooperativo. Haciendo un breve examen de dichas teorías, el estudio aborda seguidamente aquellas corrientes que enfatizan el perfil fraternal, colaborativo y altruista de la humanidad, a pesar de todas las presiones y contradicciones a las que estamos expuestos en la vida cotidiana.

Published: July 2018

This study investigated the accuracy of a novel CAOS enhanced mechanical instrument system for TKA, and its sensitivity to surgeon’s experience level. Resection errors in varus/valgus alignment were assessed across senior, fellow, and resident surgeon groups, and compared between CAOS guided resections and resections performed with conventional instruments. The findings demonstrated that regardless of surgeon experience level, the CAOS enhanced mechanical instrumentation significantly reduced alignment errors compared to conventional instrumentation, along with substantial increases in the prevalence of optimal resections.

Published: July 2018

In CAOS, ultrasound imaging has been proposed as a solution for obtaining the specific bone morphology of the patient, avoiding limitations of existing technologies. However, this imaging modality presents different drawbacks that make difficult the automatic bone segmentation. A new algorithm, based on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN), is proposed. The aim of this paper is to compare and validate this method with (1) a manual segmentation that was performed by three independent experts, and (2) a state of the art method called Confidence in Phase Symmetry (CPS). The FCN based approach outperforms the CPS algorithm and the RMSE is close to the manual segmentation variability.

Published: July 2018

Alignment of the bones in standing position provides useful information in surgical planning. In total hip arthroplasty (THA), pelvic sagittal inclination (PSI) angle in the standing position is an important factor in planning of cup alignment [1] and has been estimated mainly from radiographs. Previous methods for PSI estimation [2], [3] used a patient-specific CT to create digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) and compare them with the radiograph to estimate relative position between the pelvis and the x-ray detector. In this study, we developed a method that estimates PSI angle from a single anteroposterior radiograph using two convolutional neural networks (CNNs) without requiring the patient-specific CT, which reduces radiation exposure of the patient and opens up the possibility of application in a larger number of hospitals where CT is not acquired in a routine protocol.

Authors: Bernardo Guilherme Angelo Moreira , Lopes Mirleide Dantas , Azevedo Sérgio André Fontes
Published: July 2018

O estudo dos nanomateriais tem se consolidado como uma nova revolução no meio científico. Dentre as nanoestruturas mais investigadas atualmente encontram-se as derivadas do carbono e do nitreto de boro hexagonal (h-BN). O grafeno, por exemplo, trata-se de uma rede bidimensional hexagonal, formada exclusivamente por átomos de carbono. Neste sentido, investigamos a energia de formação e a estrutura eletrônica de um plano de grafeno, um plano de h-BN, bem como, quatro nanocones, com disclinação de 60° cada, sendo dois deles derivados do grafeno e dois derivados do h-BN. Tais investigações foram feitas por meio do Código SIESTA, um software livre que utiliza métodos de primeiros princípios, baseados na Teoria do Funcional da Densidade (DFT), como parâmetro para sua execução. A partir das observações realizadas foi possível identificar quais nanoestruturas apresentaram maior estabilidade, a depender da organização atômica de suas respectivas redes cristalinas. Nos nanomateriais investigados percebemos que, tanto a energia de formação por átomo, quanto à densidade eletrônica, variaram sensivelmente em função dos diferentes arranjos atômicos. Com relação à condutividade elétrica, as estruturas pesquisadas apresentaram boa concordância com a literatura, reafirmando assim a aplicabilidade destes nanomateriais em dispositivos eletrônicos.

Palavras chave: Nanomateriais, energia de formação, densidade eletrônica, estabilidade.

Abstract: The study of nanomaterials has consolidated as a new revolution in the scientific environment. Among the most investigated nanostructures currently are the derivatives of carbon and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Graphene for example it is a hexagonal two-dimensional lattice formed only by carbon atoms. In this sense, we investigated the formation energy and the electronic structure of a graphene plane, a h-BN plane, as well as, four nanocones, with disclination of 60° each, two of them derived from graphene and two derived from h-BN. These investigations were made through the SIESTA Code, a free software that uses first-principles methods, based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), as a parameter for its execution. From observations it was possible to identify which nanostructures showed greater stability, depending on the atomic organization of their respective crystal lattices. In the investigated nanomaterials we realized that both the formation energy per atom and the electron density varied noticeably in function of the different atomic arrangements. Regarding the electrical conductivity, the structures researched presented good agreement with the literature, thus reaffirming the applicability of these nanomaterials in electronic devices.

Key words: Nanomaterials, formation energy, electronic density, stability.

Review of Developments in the Pakistan Economy
Authors: Ghouse A. M.
Published: July 2018

During the period under review, April 1961 to June 1961,
prices of food-grains recorded divergent trends in West Pakistan and
East Pakistan. While prices of wheat showed some net decline at Lyallpur
(West Pakistan), prices of rice increased markedly at Dacca (East
Pakistan). (See Table below). At Lyallpur, the prices of fair average
quality wheat increased frcm Rs. 16.00-17.00 per maund in March 1961 to
Rs. 16.75-18.00 in April but this increase was short-lived. The arrival
of the new wheat cop in the market which steadily increased towards the
end of May led to a sharp decline in prices to touch a low of Rs.
13.50-15.00 per maund. Amidst narrow fluctuations, prices rose somewhat
in June following enlarged demand and at the end of the month, the
quotations ruled steady at Rs. 14.50-16.00. There was, however, a net
decline in prices to the tune of Rs. 1.50 per maund over the period,
April-June, 1961. Meanwhile, the second estimate of wheat crop for
all-Pakistan for the year 1960-61 places the total area under
cultivation at 11,179,000 acres or 11.7 per cent lower than that of
1959-60. Consequently, production is also placed lower by 7.2 per cent
at 3,615,000 tons. The declines in acreage and output are attributable
to shortage of water in irrigation canals and adverse weather
conditions.

The aim of the study was to investigate how different teaching methods, singing, listening to songs and reciting song lyrics, affect the development of pronunciation of Finnish as a foreign language pronunciation. The second objective of the study was to investigate whether future classroom teachers and future Finnish as a second language teachers evaluate the strength of foreign accent differently. The results indicate that reciting song lyrics is the most beneficial for the development of pronunciation. This teaching method is especially useful for beginners’ level language learners. The future class teachers gave stricter evaluations of foreign accent than the future Finnish as a second language teachers. Based on the results of the study, it could be argued that reciting song lyrics could be used for teaching pronunciation. Further, the results support previous findings that more experienced listeners give milder evaluations than more unexperienced. Thus, it would be valuable for future teachers to gain experience in listening diverse accents.

The aim of this study is to investigate how comprehensible L1 Finnish speakers’ L2 Swedish is considered to be and whether any listener- or speaker-specific background factors relating to the comprehensibility judgements can be found. The research material consists of Swedish read-aloud texts by 21 Finnish-speaking upper secondary school students. Judgements are given by 64 native Swedish-speakers (Finland-Swedish n = 35, Sweden-Swedish n = 29) using a verbalized scale from 1 to 7. The study shows that L2 Swedish, pronounced by L1 Finnish speakers, is on average considered to be comprehensible but the listener has to concentrate closely. Both Finland-Swedish and Sweden-Swedish listeners gave similar ratings. Only two background factors correlated with the comprehensibility ratings: the speaker’s latest school grade in Swedish had a negative correlation, whereas the speaker’s usage of Swedish on his/her spare me correlated positively with the comprehensibility ratings.
L2 fluency in spoken interaction: a case study on the use of other-repetitions and collaborative completions
Authors: Peltonen Pauliina
Published: July 2018

Second language (L2) speech fluency has usually been studied from an individual’s perspective with monologue speech samples, whereas fluency studies examining dialogue data, especially with focus on collaborative practices, have been rare. In the present study, the aim was to examine how participants maintain fluency collaboratively. Four Finnish upper secondary school students of English completed a problem-solving task in pairs, and their spoken interactions were analyzed qualitatively with focus on collaborative completions and other-repetions. The findings demonstrated that collaborative completions and other-repetitions contribute to interactional fluency by creating cohesion to the interaction. Collaborative completions were also used to help the interlocutor to overcome temporary (individual) disfluent phases. Overall, the findings suggest that individual and interactional fluency are intertwined in spoken interaction, which should be acknowledged in theoretical approaches to L2 fluency and in empirical studies examining L2 fluency in interactional contexts.

This study evaluated the effect of some listener background factors—the listeners’ gender, age, experience of teaching Finnish as a second language, frequency of contact with immigrants, and being a native of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area in Finland— and task type on their degree of perceived accent (DPA) ratings in L2 Finnish. The participants were 31 native-Finnish speakers and 40 nonnative speakers of Turkish origin who ranged in age from 7 to 66 as well as 61 Finnish listeners who evaluated the speech samples for a foreign accent using a 9-point scale. Three speech samples were administered (word pairs, the reading-aloud of sentences, and a spontaneous speech task). The results showed that no marked differences were observed, despite differences in the listeners’ gender, age, Finnish as a L2 teaching experience, frequency of contact with immigrants speaking Finnish as an L2 , and being a native of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The results also showed that ratings of native decreased with sample duration and extemporaneity.

Ülkemizde 1970’li yıllardan itibaren, İslami dünya algısının yansıdığı sinema filmleri yapılmayabaşlanmıştır. Bu sinema filmleri temel olarak Batılılaşma ve modernleşmenin İslami yönelimlibireylere ve toplumsal yapıya olan olumsuz etkilerini irdelemiştir. Günümüze kadar süregelen businema yaklaşımı, İslami düşünceye uygun bireyin ve toplumun nasıl olması gerektiğini ele alarakçeşitli rol modelleri, davranış biçimleri ve değerler önermişlerdir. Bu tarz söyleme sahip sinemafilmlerinin son dönem örneklerinden birisi ise 2013 yılında gösterime giren “Selam” filmidir.“Selam” filmi, Afganistan, Bosna Hersek ve Senegal’deki “Türk Okulları”nda görev yapanöğretmenlerin hikâyesini konu edinmektedir. Filme konu olan “Türk Okulları” ve bu okullardagörev yapan öğretmenler, ülkemizdeki İslami yönelimli bir hareketin dünyaya açılmasını ifadeetmektedir. Çalışmada, söylem analizi yöntemi aracılığıyla “Selam” filmi örneğinde, hoşgörü vediyalog kavramlarının İslami söylemin içinde nasıl sunulduğuna dair irdeleme gerçekleştirilmektir.Bu irdeleme sonucunda ulaşılan temel sonuç ise filmin kahramanları olan öğretmenlerin, İslamikimliğe sahip evrensel bir rol model olarak sunuldukları olgusudur.
Aerobic Fitness and Cognition Changes After Exercise Training in Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Salisbury Dereck L. , Yu Fang
Published: July 2018

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) currently affects 5.4 million Americans and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. The mechanism of exercise-induced brain adaptations are not fully understood, but enhanced aerobic fitness has been postulated as an essential physiological mechanism and is beginning to be studied. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the relationship between changes in aerobic fitness and cognition following 6 months of aerobic exercise training in older adults with AD.

Methods: Twenty-seven community-dwelling older adults with mild to moderate AD completed a 6-month, 3 times per week, moderate-vigorous intensity cycling exercise program in 2 identical studies using a single-group repeated-measures designs. AD symptoms were measured with the AD Assessment Scale–cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog), while aerobic fitness was assessed by the intermittent shuttle walk test (ISWT) at baseline and 6 months. Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and linear regression were used to assess the relationship between changes in aerobic fitness and cognition.

Results: Adjusted for age, the 6-month change in ISWT distance had an inverse relationship with the 6-month change in ADAS-Cog (r = −0.49; P = .01), indicating that enhanced aerobic fitness was associated with improved cognitive changes. Linear regression was statistically significant when adjusted by age (F([2,14] =5.33, P =.01, R2 = .31).

Conclusion: Enhanced aerobic fitness may attenuate cognitive decline in persons with mild to moderate AD.

NEW DYROSAURID REMAINS (CROCODYLIFORMES, MESOEUCROCODYLIA) FROM THE PALEOCENE OF THE PARAÍBA BASIN, NE BRAZIL
Authors: Sena Mariana
Published: July 2018

The fossil crocodyliforms from the Paraíba Basin in Northeastern Brazil are represented by two species, Hyposaurus derbianus,(uncertain age) and Guarinisuchus munizi, from the Paleocene Maria Farinha Formation. Herein we present new material of a dyrosauridalso collected in deposits of the Maria Farinha Formation, representing cranial, axial and appendicular remains. The specimens are housedat Centro Acadêmico de Vitória, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (CAV–UFPE) and at Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco(UFRPE). The most important contribution of this find is a well-preserved mandibular specimen (CAV 0056-V) with 16 alveoli on the leftside and 13 on the right side. Nine complete or partial tooth crowns are preserved, in positions 1–5. The teeth are conical and homodont withvertical striations. The largest teeth are located at positions d1 and d4. The biggest occlusion pits are located between positions d2 and d3. Theseventh alveoli are reduced and close to the eighth alveoli. The mandible, CAV 0056-V, possesses three foramina in the anterior portion ofthe dentaries and the mandibular symphysis extends to the posterior margins of the d11–d12 dentary alveoli. Based on the features presentedin the mandible and the other fossils recovered, we attribute these materials to Dyrosauridae, particularly, to Guarinisuchus cf. G. munizi.
