Δίλγωσσοι μαθητές στο δημοτικό σχολείο και διαπολιτισμική εκπαίδευση: η περίπτωση της Αχαΐας
Authors: Αγγελοπούλου Παρασκευή , Μάνεσης Νικόλαος
Published: October 2017

Η παρούσα έρευνα στοχεύει να διερευνήσει τις απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης για το ρόλο και τις πρακτικές που υιοθετούν στην εφαρμογή της διαπολιτισμικής παιδαγωγικής για την αντιμετώπιση των αναγκών των δίγλωσσων μαθητών/μαθητριών στο διαπολιτισμικό πλαίσιο εκπαίδευσης.       Διεξήγαμε έρευνα με ερωτηματολόγιο που αποτελούνταν από ερωτήσεις κλειστού και ανοικτού τύπου, που βασίστηκε σε προηγούμενες έρευνες από τη διεθνή και ελληνική βιβλιογραφία, το οποίο διανεμήθηκε και συμπληρώθηκε από 106 εκπαιδευτικούς (86 γυναίκες και 20 άντρες, ηλικίας 25-55 ετών)  που εργάζονται σε Δημοτικά σχολεία της Αχαΐας.Τα ερευνητικά αποτελέσματα υποδεικνύουν ότι εκπαιδευτικοί με χαμηλή επιμόρφωση σε θέματα διαπολιτισμικής παιδαγωγικής αντιλαμβάνονται περισσότερο στερεοτυπικά τη διαπολιτισμική παιδαγωγική, πράγμα που τους οδηγεί στην υιοθέτηση συγκεκριμένων εκπαιδευτικών πρακτικών για την κάλυψη των αναγκών των δίγλωσσων μαθητών/μαθητριών. Τέλος, τα ερευνητικά αποτελέσματα καταδεικνύουν ότι οι εκπαιδευτικοί δεν αναγνωρίζουν υψηλά τη δική τους ευθύνη για την αντιμετώπιση των αναγκών των δίγλωσσων μαθητών/μαθητριών.Περαιτέρω ποιοτικές έρευνες θα πρέπει να πραγματοποιηθούν στο πλαίσιο της διαπολιτισμικής εκπαίδευσης προκειμένου να γίνουν περισσότερο κατανοητές οι ατομικές δυσκολίες που εκπαιδευτικοί και μαθητές αντιμετωπίζουν. Ακόμη, αυτές οι δυσκολίες θα μπορούσαν να ειδωθούν ως μέρος της μαθησιακής διαδικασίας των μαθητών/μαθητριών καθώς και της κοινωνικοποιητικής διαδικασίας των παιδιών που προέρχονται από διαφορετικά πολιτισμικά περιβάλλοντα.

Στην παρούσα εργασία, μέσω επικαιροποιημένης βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης, περιγράφεται η συμπτωματολογία των πασχόντων με αλμπινισμό και η ψυχοκοινωνική τους υποστήριξη, σε ανταπόκριση στις διατυπωμένες ανάγκες συναφούς ενημέρωσης των εκπαιδευτικών. Ως μία σπάνια, γενετικά κληρονομούμενη πάθηση, στον αλμπινισμό παρατηρείται ποικίλου εύρους υποχρωματισμός της τριχοφυΐας, του δέρματος και των ματιών των ατόμων. Στα κλινικά χαρακτηριστικά του, περιλαμβάνονται πολλαπλά συγγενή προβλήματα όρασης και οφθαλμικές αλλοιώσεις, ενώ το νευροψυχολογικό του προφίλ πλειοψηφικά διακρίνεται από τυπικά επίπεδα νοημοσύνης, αναγνωστικά ελλείμματα, καθώς και από δυσχέρειες των επιτελικών και αισθητικο-αντιληπτικών λειτουργιών της μνήμης, της προσοχής, αλλά και της αδρής ή / και λεπτής κινητικότητας. Ακόμη, η πάθηση διέπεται από ένα σύνολο κοινωνικο-συναισθηματικών και προσαρμοστικών δυσκολιών της διαπροσωπικής αλληλεπίδρασης, καθώς και κλινικής ψυχοπαθολογίας. Αντισταθμίζοντας και το ανεπαρκές ευρύτερο κοινωνικοπολιτισμικό πλαίσιο των πασχόντων, νηπιακής έως εφηβικής ηλικίας, αλλά και ενηλίκων, έχουν υλοποιηθεί συγκεκριμένες εξατομικευμένες ή ομαδικές, διεπιστημονικές και μη, ψυχοκοινωνικές παρεμβάσεις, ενίοτε αυξημένης κοινωνικής εγκυρότητας. Στις προσεγγίσεις, συνδυάστηκαν δράσεις ψυχοεκπαίδευσης, συμβουλευτικής, προπονητικής, αθλητισμού, μουσικοθεραπείας, λογοθεραπείας και εργοθεραπείας, σε σχολικό, εξωσχολικό, κατ’ οίκον, ή κλινικό επίπεδο. Πλειοψηφικά, διαπιστώθηκε βελτίωση των σκοπούμενων ενδοατομικών ελλειμμάτων, των διαπροσωπικών και συμπεριφορικών δεξιοτήτων, όπως και της ψυχιατρικής συννοσηρότητας των συμμετεχόντων. Εντούτοις, διευθετώντας τους επιμέρους μεθοδολογικούς περιορισμούς των διεξαχθέντων παρεμβατικών προγραμμάτων και παράλληλα προσαρμόζοντάς τα, ανάλογα με την ηλικία και τη λειτουργικότητα των πασχόντων, διατυπώνονται σχετικές προτάσεις μελλοντικής έρευνας, στοχεύοντας στην ολιστική και ενταξιακή υποστήριξη των ατόμων.

The aim of the present study was to examine how children attending the middle years of the primary school understand and extend mathematical patterns. A total of 90 students coming from grades C (N=48) and D (N=42) were asked 21 pattern tasks that were designed on the basis of two main categories (visual patterns and number patterns) and were further divided into: a) repeating visual and repeating number patterns, and b) growing visual and growing number patterns. Participants were asked to identify the pattern rules and extend the patterns by filling the missing steps. They also had to make a pattern on their own. Overall results showed similarly high performance on visual and number pattern tasks. However, the majority of the participants had a higher rate of success in repeating visual patterns and repeating number patterns compared to growing visual patterns and growing number patterns. The analysis of the strategies that children implemented in patterning revealed a great differentiation between their use and the type of pattern. More specifically, students mainly justified their pattern extensions by making reasonable connections within successive steps in the growing pattern tasks, whereas they tended to use techniques related to random predictions following repetitions of the pattern’s parts in the repeating pattern tasks. Last, participants’ preference for repeating visual patterns was found when making their own patterns.

Literacy and psychosocial competence are very critical factors for school achievement. Most of the relevant studies have focused mainly on the relationship between reading skills and behaviour problems without investigating other literacy factors such as writing skills, as well as other aspects of psychosocial skills, such as social, emotional and school competence. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between literacy (reading-writing skills) and psychosocial competence (social, emotional, school competence and behaviour problems) in typically developing primary school children. Seventy-three (73) pupils from the fifth and sixth grades participated in the study. They were assessed individually in standardized psychometric tests of literacy and psychosocial competence. According to the results their reading skills were positively correlated with social and school competence and negatively correlated with behaviour problems. Furthermore, their writing skills were significant predictors of their emotional competence. The main conclusions of this research as well as their educational implications are discussed

Shortening Project Makespan in the Case of Resource Constraints and Activity Durations Uncertainty
Authors: Царьков Игорь , Tsarkov Igor
Published: October 2017

Shortening project expected makespan in the case of resource constraints is the most popular problem in project scheduling. But in practice activity durations is not determined. So the problem is to find a policy which could define which activity should be started at decision points to minimize expected project makespan. This problem usually called SRCPSP. In this paper we define key research tasks of such a problem and propose extended activity-based policy XABP. Computational results show us the high efficiency of this policy.

All aboard: travelling with a stoma
Authors: Swash Carolyn
Published: October 2017

Ostomates are often reluctant to risk being exposed as having a stoma, and can find travelling, socialising or other public situations difficult. Stoma care nurses are able to use their expertise to build patients' confidence about travelling by imparting practical advice, helping draw up sensible plans and laying out progressive steps to confident travel. An extra supply of stoma appliances is essential. Stoma care routines may need to be adjusted, particularly if they involve urostomy leg bags or colostomy irrigation. The case of urostomate Mrs A shows how small steps can create confidence, while the case of Mrs B demonstrates how, even with two stomas, a confident, resourceful and organised ostomate can live an outgoing life. Although there is a wealth of advice available, there is scope for more research into its efficacy.
Development of a nurse-led paediatric inflammatory bowel disease service
Authors: Crook Kay
Published: October 2017

The incidence of paediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing, and treatment pathways are becoming more complex. Therefore, it is necessary to develop services that are able to manage these patients appropriately with consideration of national and international guidelines. It is important to recognise children are not just small adults and their needs are different to adult patients with IBD. This article discusses the process of establishing a paediatric IBD service at Northwick Park Hospital with the support of the adult IBD nursing service at St Mark's Hospital. Both hospitals are co-located on the same site as part of the London Northwest Healthcare Trust. The new role was designed to be managed jointly by the paediatric matron and adult IBD lead nurse to ensure the appropriate aspects of both specialties were reflected in the new service.

Diagnosis and treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas of the extremities and trunk

Published: October 2017

The relatively low incidence and often atypical clinical presentation of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) impedes early and adequate diagnosis. Patients may report on recently enlarged soft-tissue swellings, infrequently complain of painful lesions, or even have no symptoms at all. A thorough diagnostic work-up is essential in order to distinguish between benign soft-tissue tumours and STSs. Patient history, clinical features and radiological findings all help in assessing the underlying pathology. ‘Worrying’ features such as recent increase in size, deep location relative to the fascia, a tumour exceeding 4 cm in size, and invasive growth patterns seen on imaging should prompt verification by biopsy. Even though acquisition of biopsy material may be incomplete, one should bear in mind some essential rules. Regardless of the biopsy technique applied, the most direct route to the lump in question should be identified, contamination of adjacent structures should be avoided and a sufficient amount of tissue acquired. Treatment of STS is best planned by a multidisciplinary team, involving experts from various medical specialities. The benchmark therapy consists of en bloc resection of the tumour, covered by a safety margin of healthy tissue. Depending on tumour histology, grade, local extent and anatomical stage, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and isolated hyperthermic limb perfusion may be employed. Due to the complexity of treatment, any soft-tissue swelling suspected of malignancy is best referred directly to a sarcoma centre, where therapeutic management is carefully planned by an experienced multidisciplinary team.

Site-Specific Erodibility in Claypan Soils: Dependence on Subsoil Characteristics
Authors: Tucker-Kulesza Stacey E. , Sassenrath Gretchen F. , Tran Tri , Koehn Weston , Erickson Lauren
Published: October 2017

Abstract. Soil erosion is a primary factor limiting the productive capacity of many crop production fields and contributing to sediment and nutrient impairments of water bodies. Loss of topsoil is especially critical for areas of limited topsoil depth, such as the claypan area of the central United States. More than a century of conventional agricultural practices have eroded the topsoil and, in places, exposed the unproductive clay layer. This clay layer is impervious, limiting water infiltration and root penetration, and severely restricting agricultural productivity. Previous studies have documented changes in topsoil thickness using apparent electrical conductivity (ECa). However, that methodology is limited by its shallow depth of measurement within the soil profile, and as such cannot adequately explore factors within the soil profile that potentially contribute to topsoil erosion. In this study, we identified areas of limited topsoil depth using crop yields and ECa. Two areas within the production field varying in crop production and ECa were selected for detailed measurements using Electrical Resistivity Tomography. This methodology allowed delineation of soil stratigraphy to a depth of 5.3 m. The erodibility of undisturbed soil samples from the two areas were measured in an Erosion Function Apparatus to obtain the critical shear stress, or the applied stress at which soil begins to erode. Based on resistivity measurement, the highly productive region of the field had a thick (1.0-2.0 m) soil layer of saturated clayey sand soil over a uniform sandy material, with minimal clay layer. This soil had a critical shear stress of 12 Pa. The extent of historical erosion was evident in the poorly-producing area, as only a thin band of topsoil material remained over a thicker clay layer. The unproductive area with exposed clay layer had a critical shear stress of 128 Pa, indicating it was more resistant to erosion than the highly productive region. The clay layer was found to extend to 1.3-1.5 m in depth in the soil profile in the poorly producing area. Below this layer was a layer with similar resistivity to the high-producing region. The data reveal the extent of historical erosion within the crop production field and highlight significant variability in measured soil properties within a field of identical production practices. While spatial variations in topsoil have long been considered in developing management practices to improve soil health and productive capacity, our results indicate the importance of identifying variability of subsoil characteristics to address long-term impacts on soil erosion and productivity.

Developing the USDA ARS Spray Nozzle Models for Rotary Wing Applications
Authors: Hoffmann W Clint , Fritz Bradley   K
Published: October 2017

Abstract. Optimizing aerial spray applications requires proper setup of the sprayer system, particularly with respect to nozzle selection and operation, which significantly affects spray deposition, product efficacy, and spray drift. Droplet size from an aerial application is a function of the combination of nozzle type, nozzle orifice size, spray pressure, orientation angle, and airspeed of the aircraft. A set of computational models for 14 commonly-used aerial application nozzles were developed and released for use by applicators. These models allow applicators to determine the droplet size characteristics associated with their specific nozzle and operational setup, determining the proper combination of orifice, pressure, orientation, and airspeeds from 22 to 54 m/s (50 to 120 mph), which are commonly-associated with applications made from rotary wing aircraft (i.e., helicopters). Both spreadsheet and smartphone user interfaces are available for applicators to use to ensure that their application conforms to the legal droplet size requirements specified on an agrochemical product label. Keywords: Aerial application, Atomization, Droplet size, Droplet size models, Spray nozzles.
The institutionalization of film exhibition in Cuba (1959–64)
Authors: Rozsa Irene
Published: October 2017

This article charts the gradual institutionalization of film exhibition in Cuba and the process of centralization that cemented ICAIC’s predominance in the Cuban cinematographic landscape. I examine the transformation of the notion of cine club, the creation of large-scale initiatives like the cine-debates populares (popular cinedebates), the strategic conception of regular film programming and the establishment of specialized spaces such as ICAIC’s cinemathèque. I also contextualize the frictions between various cultural groups that existed in the early post-revolutionary period. This close scrutiny of aspects of non-commercial film culture in the years 1959 to 1964 reveals that in order to thrive, ICAIC effectively suppressed, absorbed or repurposed all of the pre-revolutionary material infrastructure and institutional formations dedicated to film on the island, obtaining increasingly exclusive control over the films that were shown on public screens.
Connections and contestations: Film and media as emerging creative industries in today’s Havana
Authors: Zarza Zaira
Published: October 2017

The creative industries, in contradistinction to the ‘culture industries’ (Adorno and Horkheimer [1944] 2002), is a relatively young field of study distinguished by the contemporary entrepreneurial character of cultural production and consumption. Although still incipient, recent economic growth in Cuba owes a great deal to the work of young entrepreneurs in the private sector – workers in new Cuban creative industries – who are contributing to the transformation of Havana’s visual culture and altering previous modes of audio-visual consumption. New economies of film and media development have emerged since the re-establishment of relations between the Cuban and American governments. This article is a preliminary attempt to understand these nascent forms of creative businesses, their connections with government structures, their impact on Cubans’ daily lives, and the role they play in the formation of new forms of spectatorship.
Me escuchan, luego existo: Pioneras de 'lo sonoro'
Authors: Ruiz Fraile Raquel
Published: October 2017

A lo largo de la Historia la sociedad se ha mantenido en un esquema patriarcal en el que destacan los hombres y sus logros, silenciando a las mujeres que tuvieron un papel importante en su época y dejándolas en la sombra durante años, décadas e incluso siglos. En el campo del Arte no iba a ser diferente y, a pesar de que las mujeres han tenido una presencia constante como artistas o artesanas a lo largo de toda la Historia del Arte, sigue notándose su ausencia en los museos y en las enciclopedias artísticas relegándolas de nuevo a un único papel de musas o modelos de los artistas masculinos de entonces. En el ámbito de ‘lo sonoro, a pesar de ser algo relativamente nuevo, también las mujeres se encontraron con dificultades a la hora de querer demostrar su creatividad, talento y profesionalidad en esta disciplina que convierte a quien se adentra en ella en un ‘ser bicéfalo’ Por ello con este artículo queremos hoy rendir un pequeño homenaje a aquellas mujeres que lucharon por abrirse un hueco en este mundo de ‘lo sonoro’ y que hicieron que para nosotras hoy pertenecer a él sea un poco más fácil.
Material hibrido organiko-ez-organiko fluoreszenteak aplikazio optikoetarako
Authors: Sola-LLano Rebeca
Published: October 2017

Aplikazio optikoetarako material hibrido egokiak aurkitu nahian, koloratzaile desberdinak MgAPO-11 aluminofosfato ez-organikoan kapsulatu dira. Material zeolitiko honek AEL egitura dauka, dimentsio bakarreko nanokanal eliptiko oso estuak dituena, 6.5 x 4 Å2-ko diametrodunak; beraz, erabiliko diren koloratzaileen neurri molekularra kontuan izanik, oso estu kapsulatuak geratuko dira. Hori dela eta, koloratzailea sintesi-nahastera gehitzea beharrezkoa da kapsulatuak gera daitezen. Sintesi-metodo horren bidez koloratzaileak modu oso ordenatuan AELaren kanaletan harrapatzen dira 10 µm baino gehiagoko luzeradun partikuletan, euren ardatz molekular luzearekin kanalekiko paralelo, eta koloratzaile molekulen agregazioa saihesten da. Alde batetik, akridina (AC) eta pironina Y (PY) kromoforoak material zeolitikoan batera kapsulatu direnean, material hibrido oso fluoreszentea lortu da. Gainera, bi kromoforoen trantsizio-momentu dipolarrak bata bestearekiko perpendikularrak direnez, eta haien artean FRET energia-transferentzia eraginkorra gertatzen denez, partikulen emisio fluoreszentearen kolore-aldaketa ikus daiteke (zianetik berdera) materiala argi ultramorearekin kitzikatu ostean, bide optikoan detekzioaren aurretik koka daitezkeen polarizatzaileen norabidearen arabera. Azkenik, LDS 722 koloratzailea sartu da euskarri ez-organikoan eta emaitza gisa espektro elektromagnetikoaren alde gorrian igortzen duen material hibrido oso fluoreszentea eskuratu da. Bere etekin kuantikoa koloratzaileak disoluzio urtsuan azaltzen duena baino 50 bat aldiz altuagoa da, eta gainera, LDS 722ak optika ez-linealerako propietate intrintsekoak dituenez, eta partikuletan molekulek duten ordenamendu maila altua dela eta, material hibrido egokia lortu da bigarren harmonikoaren sorkuntzarako (SHG).

Tesi hau bi zutabe nagusitan banatzen da. Lehenengoan, ardo-hondakinen balioa handitzeko metodologia bat garatu genuen. Lehenik, ardo-hondakinetatik polifenolak eta gantz-azidoak, bakoitza bere aldetik, erauzi genituen jariakin gainkritikoak erabiliz. Polifenolak ez dira oso egonkorrak, ordea, eta gorputzean bioeskuragarritasun baxua dute. Arazo horiek konpontzeko, polifenolak mikrokapsularatzeko teknika bat garatu genuen. Bigarren zutabean, etorkizun hurbilean kannabisa sendagai bezala erabili ahal izateko, 3 urrats eman genituen. Alde batetik, landare ezberdinak efektu ezberdinekin lotzea ahalbide dezakeen landareen kannabinoideen hatz-marka osatzeko analisi-teknika garatu genuen. Bestetik, gernuan eta plasman kannabinoideak eta euren metabolitoak kuantifikatzeko metodo bat ere garatu genuen. Azkenik, konposatu puruen eta landare mota jakinen produkzioa optimizatzeko, kimiotipo ezberdineko landareen hazkuntzan zeharreko kannabinoideen eta terpenoen garapena aztertu genuen.

Harriaren portaera artezketa eragiketan, hein handi batean, bere egitura granularraren naturatik datorkio. Gaur egungo harriak aglomeratzaileak batzen dituen ale urratzaile gogorrez osatutako diseinuzko konglomeratu porotsuak dira. Alearen ezaugarriek, aglomeratzailearen erresistentziak eta, poroekin batera, hiruren arteko proportzioak harriaren izaera baldintzatzen dute. Ekoizpen prozesua erdi-sekretua izan ohi da, ekoizlearen urteetako esperientziaren emaitza. Harriaren propietate mekanikoak, diseinuzko material izaki, aurrez ezagutu ahal izan beharko lirateke. Hala ere, bere natura heterogeneo konplexuak modelizazioa zailtzen du. Berriki, elementu diskretuen metodoa aplikatu da harriaren portaera simulatzeko. Lan honetan eredua eraikitzeko prozedura berria aurkezten da. Lanak propietate mekanikoen homogeneizazio prozesua ere azaltzen du.

Poème sur la distance, l’Odyssée interroge les notions du proche et du lointain, de la dispersion et du regroupement tout comme celles du contact topographique et du contact topologique, en un temps où les aristocraties grecques sont prises dans un jeu complexe d’échelles identitaires. Doivent-elles d’abord s’enraciner, à l’échelle locale, dans un rapport de proximité immédiate avec les autres membres de la polis? Se bâtissent-elles au contraire, à l’échelle de la Grèce continentale ou bien encore à celle du monde connu, dans le cadre d’un «web» constitué de cités connectées? Chercher la proximité immédiate avec Ulysse, un héros né sur la lointaine Ithaque, c’est sans doute, pour Ménélas, tenter de concilier, dans un idéal aristocratique impossible, les deux spatialités concurrentes du haut archaïsme.

Published: October 2017

No âmbito do Projecto Integrado de Estudo e Valorização da “Cerca Velha” de Lisboa, promovido pela Câmara Municipal de Lisboa desde o ano de 2009, foram realizadas várias intervenções arqueológicas que permitiram comprovar que o traçado deste equipamento defensivo remonta à época romana (Séculos I e finais do III – IV d. C.). Na sequência daquelas intervenções, que possibilitaram um levantamento rigoroso da estrutura tardo-romana de Olisipo de cronologia correlacionável com finais do séc. III e início do séc. IV d. C. foi realizado um trabalho de caracterização de argamassas daquela estrutura. Deste trabalho resultou a caracterização de amostras daqueles materiais visando a interpretação construtiva tipo-tecnológica, o esclarecimento de proveniências da matéria-prima utilizada e a análise do actual estado de conservação da estrutura nos locais amostrados, identificando os principais factores de degradação. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu caracterizações granulométrica, mineralógica, química, petrográfica, física, mecânica e microestrutural. O trabalho contribuiu para o aumento do conhecimento das técnicas ancestrais de construção, numa perspetiva de conservação e restauro do património histórico-arquitectónico.

Authors: Yusuf Yusuf , Murni Indah Kartika , Setyati Amalia
Published: October 2017

Background Pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five. Antibiotic treatment must be started immediately in children with pneumonia. The irrational use of antibiotics may increase morbidity and mortality in children with pneumonia.Obejctive To determine the prevalence of the irrational use of antibiotics and clinical outcomes in children with pneumonia.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in children with pneumonia who were admitted to the Pediatric Ward or PICU at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, from December 2010 to February 2013. Data were obtained from subjects’ medical records. Children with malnutrition, congenital heart defects, sepsis, shock, central nervous system disorders, syndromes, or other concomitant infections were excluded.Results Of 46 children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 13 (28.3%) used antibiotics irrationally and 7 (15.2%) died. Most subjects were aged less than 1 year (25 subjects, 54.3%) and 1 - < 5 years (18 subjects, 39.1%). The female to male ratio was 1:1. Most cases were referred from other hospitals (23 subjects, 50%). Twenty-eight (60.9%) subjects stayed in hospital > 7 days. Ampicillin was the most common first-line, empirical antibiotic used (32 subjects, 69.6%). Blood cultures were obtained in 20 (43.5%) patients, yielding no growth in 16 subjects, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CONS) in 3 subjects, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 1 subject. The irrational use of antibiotics was significantly associated with mortality in a univariate analysis [PR 6.35; (95%CI 1.40 to 28.69); P=0.006]. Conclusion The irrational use of antibiotics is common among children with pneumonia and is significantly associated with mortality.
Plagiarism and its implications: Common terminology identification in scientific papers
Authors: Oliveira Gislene Farias de
Published: October 2017

Almost all over the world, especially in European countries such as Ingleterra, the appropriation of ideas, words and images of one person, by another inadvertently and without due credit, is considered a practice widely repudiated, especially in higher education. Even a small part of your manuscript that contains plagiarism, can have serious consequences, either in insufficient allocation of notes or even expulsion from the university.
Disability and Life Satisfaction Scale

Published: October 2017

Life Satisfaction is a significant indicator of subjective well-being. It is assessed as a single, global measure or as a reference related to important areas of life, such as family and work. Assessing life satisfaction in people with special needs and verifying how this construct correlates with demographic variables such as gender, age and schooling, for example, was the objective of this study. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire with a Life Satisfaction Scale. The sample consisted of 48 people from Juazeiro do Norte in Ceará, aged 14-71, mostly male (60.4%). The results revealed that in 70.9% of respondents believe that their life is close to ideal in most aspects and that 72.9% agree that they are satisfied with their lives as it is. 41.7% reported that the conditions of their lives are excellent. Men said they were more satisfied with life than women, as well as older people and more religious people. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the loss of certain abilities, such as walking for example, does not seem to cause great changes in the feeling of life satisfaction in the studied population.
Red Sea Folk Beliefs: A Maritime Spirit Landscape
Authors: Agius Dionisius A.
Published: October 2017

The Red Sea brings together the coastal communities and seafarers of Africa and Arabia through a variety of folk beliefs and superstitions, which manifest something of a common tradition through time and space. This article explores a conceptual framework that might be called a “spiritscape,” an amalgam of ideas and practices that embrace multiple layers of human and nonhuman relationships and interactions within the landscape and seascape of the Red Sea world.
Design thinking between rationalism and romanticism—a historical overview of competing visions
Authors: Engholm Ida , Salamon Karen Lisa
Published: October 2017

This article presents a longue durée history of design thinking with particular focus on recurrent ideological tug-of-war between two competing visions: Enlightenment ideals of logic, rationality and civic order against Romanticist ideals of artistic creativity and social change. Drawing on design history and cultural studies, the authors present a broad overview of more than 200 years of developments in European and North American design thinking, from the rise of design as a profession to the formation of a science of design. The article contributes to the history of design thinking by presenting the influence of specific, sociocultural configurations on design culture.
Assessing the Correlation Between Task-induced Involvement Load, Word Learning, and Learners’ Regulatory Ability
Authors: Chenghai Qin , Feng Teng
Published: October 2017

The present study, using quantitative and qualitative analyses, aimed at delineating the interrelationship between the knowledge of metacognition and the regulation of metacognition, along with the role of learners’ regulatory ability in mediating the effects of task-induced involvement load on word learning. A total of 60 university EFL students were recruited to the study. They first completed a checklist on metacognition and were then assigned to complete three tasks with varying degrees of involvement load followed by a vocabulary test. Of them, 12 students also participated in an interview. The results showed that the two main components of metacognition, i.e., the knowledge and regulation of metacognition, are closely and significantly correlated. The learners, assigned to four different ability groups (LK/LR, LK/HR, HK/LR, HK/HR), were found to benefit most by engaging in a task with the highest involvement load. Despite the benefits, their regulatory ability mediated the effects of task-induced involvement load on word learning, which was corroborated by the interview results. The relevant implications for teaching and learning words through tasks are further discussed.
40 Years of Applied Linguistics: Investigating Content Areas, Research Methods, and Statistical Techniques
Authors: Khany Reza , Tazik Khalil
Published: October 2017

This review study was designed to map out the research trends through an intensive text analysis of 1,366 research articles (RAs) of applied linguistics during the past 40 years (from 1976 to 2015). RAs were coded and analyzed by four analysts to identify their content of research, research methods, and statistical procedures. It was found that there has been an increase in the number and the average length of articles. The average length has been on the rise from 8.09 pages in 1976-1985 to 14.38 during 2006-2015. The extensive review of the RAs also revealed a broad range of themes that belonged to 34 research domains. SLA, Technology & Language Learning, Language Teaching Methodology, Language Testing, and Psycholinguistics were the most widely researched areas. The qualitative method with 33.97% was the dominant research method in the journals. Regarding the statistical techniques, it was illustrated that descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and t-test were the most commonly used procedures in the applied linguistic RAs.

How the Other Half Lives: Under the Arch with Lady Henry Somerset
Authors: Paisana Joanne
Published: October 2017

The reforming work of Isabella Caroline Somerset (Lady Henry Somerset 1851-1921) is largely overlooked today. Dedicated to women’s causes at home and abroad and to temperance in particular, having first-hand knowledge of the privileged and the underprivileged, this determined, multi-talented and opinionated woman uncharacteristically wrote a fictional novel, Under the Arch (1906). In the novel, London aristocrats are portrayed rubbing shoulders with slum dwellers, but there is little real connection. The problems that the social policies introduced by the Liberals from 1906-1914 would address are nevertheless highlighted. It can be no coincidence that Somerset was well acquainted with many of these politicians. The themes of relieving the poor, Christian doctrine, marriage, women’s suffrage and imperialism are addressed, although Somerset’s focus is simply on “doing good” and loving one’s neighbour
On multivalued stochastic integral equations driven by semimartingales
Authors: Malinowski Marek T.
Published: October 2017

We consider multivalued stochastic integral equations driven
by semimartingales.
Such equations are formulated in two different forms, i.e., using multivalued stochastic up-trajectory and trajectory integrals, which are not equivalent.
By the successive approximations method, we show the existence of a unique solution to each equation under a condition much weaker than the Lipschitz one.
We indicate that the solutions are stable under small changes of the equation data.
The results have immediate implications for solutions to single-valued stochastic integral equations driven by semimartingales.
Brain Wave Activity Differences in Task Complexity and Perspective During Imagery
Authors: Vangen Robert , Post Phillip , Simpson Duncan , Cremades Gualberto
Published: October 2017

The present study investigated how task complexity and imagery perspective affected brain wave activity during imagery using electroencephalography (EEG) measures. EEG recordings were collected from 21 collegiate soccer players (male n = 14, female n = 7; M age = 20.71 years, SD = 1.55) visualizing from two perspectives (internal and external) on two motor tasks (simple and complex). Results reveal no differences in alpha brainwave activity during imagery when adopting different imagery perspectives (internal and external) or when imagining a complex or simple task. Results indicate that the left hemisphere was processing more information during imagery of the simple task, as measured by greater alpha brain wave activity in the upper values (11–13 Hz) in the right hemisphere as compared to the left. Findings indicate that the main area of the brain where this activity is different is the temporal lobe (lower and upper alpha levels), which is associated with the processing of auditory information, visual recognition, comprehension and production of language (Corr, 2006). Results imply that guided imagery scripts may interfere with athletes’ imagery experiences as they appear to be devoting greater cognitive resources to processing audio information.
Ein Diskurs zur Übersetzbarkeit der lyrischen Dichtung im Hinblick auf Rückerts Idee der Weltliteratur
Authors: Haddadi Mohammad Hossein
Published: October 2017

There are many strategies and methods for translating texts of various genres. There are also strategies that are particularly useful for the translation of scientific Texts. When it comes to the translation of literary texts however there are plenty of thoughts, strategies, and methods that are proposed and which provoke a huge disagreement in this area. There is, particularly, a disagreement with regard to the translation of lyric poetry. Many critics and translation theorists agree that in the translation of lyric poetry (and generally in translation of literature texts) one should transfer, on the one hand, the style and the creative power of the author of the source language to the target language and, on the other hand, should meet the expectations of readers of the target language. They differ however over which strategy or method should be used in order to achieve this goal. When considering the translation of literature texts, and particularly the translation of lyric poetry, the spirit of the author and all existent relationships between form and contents should be transferred in the translation, since they have a close relationship with the spirit of the source language and thought of the author. The possibility of achieving this is however somewhat dubious because of the basic structural differences between the source language and the target language; and also because of those differences that may be between the content of the two mentioned languages. The following paper is based on the explanation of Rueckert’s idea of “world literature”, which is related to his thought about the transfer of the spirit of literature of the source language and the transfer of both form and contents. The paper seeks to answers this question: regarding the differences in the relationships of form and contents between the source language, Persian, and the German language, how can the spirit and content of Hafiz' lyrics be best transferred to the target language. It examines the structural and content differences between the Persian and German Languages and it illustrates the strategies and methods Rueckert uses to transfer the spirit and content of the poems of Hafiz to the German language.

We consider the reaction-diffusion equation with discontinuities in the diffusion coefficient and the potential term. We start by deriving the Carleman estimate for the discontinuous reaction-diffusion operator which is deployed in the inverse problems of finding the stability result of the two discontinuous coefficients from the internal observations of the given parabolic equation.
Update on Conflict and Diplomacy
Authors: Karolyi Paul
Published: October 2017

This update, which summarizes bilateral, multilateral, regional, and international events affecting the Palestinians and the future of the peace process, covers the quarter beginning on 16 February 2017 and ending on 15 May 2017. During this period, the administration of U.S. pres. Donald Trump attempted to put its own stamp on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the Israeli government announced a new policy on settlement growth in the West Bank, and the Ramallah-based Palestinian leadership struggled to consolidate power. Palestinians in the West Bank elected new local leaders, despite disagreements among the major parties. Some 1,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails declared a hunger strike, drawing support from across the political spectrum. Meanwhile, Israel's right-wing government kept up a campaign to undermine and delegitimize its opponents, including the Israeli Left, the Palestinian minority in Israel, and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
The Idolatry of Force: How Israel Embraced Targeted Killing
Authors: Aaron Paul Gaston
Published: October 2017

Not until the Second Intifada did assassination emerge as an explicit, legally codified, and publicly announced doctrine of so-called targeted killing in Israel. This study, the first of a two-part series, explores the doctrine's historical roots and ideological lineage and tracks its rise under the premiership of Ariel Sharon. Targeted killing became institutionalized not just to reduce direct and imminent threats against Israelis but also to mobilize electoral support, field-test weapons and tactics, and eliminate key figures in order to sow chaos and stunt the development of an effective Palestinian national movement. The study frames the analysis within a wider meditation on Israel's idolatry of force. As much symbolic performance as military technique, targeted killing reenacts and ritualizes Palestinian humiliation and helplessness in the face of the Zionist state's irresistible power, making this dynamic appear a fact of life, ordained and immutable.
