Some experimental activities of low cost and easy accomplishment are proposed to reproduce the microgravity environment that exists in space ships, free fall towers and parabolic flights. The objective is to provide didactical material to aid teachers in terms of assembling instructions, besides the implementation of these experiments and explanation of the results. The experiments were based on the free fall concept and were recorded in several stages of their falls, making it possible the observation of curious phenomena in this environment.
Night eating syndrome: How to treat it?

Published: November 2016

Summary Night eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by caloric intake ≥ 25% of total daily after dinner and/or by two or more weekly nocturnal awakenings accompanied by food ingestion. Causes of NES are not entirely clear and seem to involve a desynchronization between the circadian rhythms of food ingestion and sleep, resulting in a delayed pattern of food intake. Estimates of the prevalence of NES in the general population are around 1.5%, and although much higher frequencies have been described in obese individuals, a causal relationship between NES and obesity is not clearly established. Since the first NES reports, several treatment modalities have been proposed, although, in many cases, the evidence is still insufficient and there is no consensus on the ideal approach. In order to conduct a critical review of proposed treatments for NES since its original description, a systematic search of articles published in journals indexed in Medline/Pubmed database in the period 1955-2015 was performed. Seventeen articles addressing non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies met the selection criteria. Based on the articles analyzed, we conclude that serotonergic agents and psychological interventions, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, have been shown to be effective for the treatment of NES. A combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies must be considered in future studies on the treatment of these patients.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the biochemical mechanisms associated with isolated and/or concurrent actions of drought and soil salinity in seedlings of coconut tree, through the accumulation of organic solutes (soluble carbohydrates, soluble amino N and free proline) in leaves and roots. The experiment, conducted in a protected environment, in Fortaleza, Brazil, in a randomized block design, in a split-plot arrangement, evaluated the effects of different levels of water stress (plots) by imposing distinct percentages of replacement of water losses through crop potential evapotranspiration - ETpc (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%), associated with subplots consisting of increasing levels of soil salinity in saturation extract (1.72, 6.25, 25.80 and 40.70 dS m-1) provided by the soils collected in the Irrigated Perimeter of Morada Nova. Salinity did not change the concentration of organic solutes; however, there were increases in leaf and root levels of free proline in response to water stress, which contributes to the osmoregulation and/or osmoprotection of the species under adverse conditions of water supply.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatial variation of temperature, relative humidity and black globe humidity temperature (BGHT) index in growing-finishing swine facilities, with and without evaporative air cooler. The experiment was conducted in a 60 x 9 m facility containing 32 pens of 3.20 x 4.00 m each, divided into two sectors. The treatments were without evaporative air cooler (control) and with evaporative air cooler. Temperature and relative humidity data were collected weekly in two periods (morning and afternoon) at 32 different sampling points, encompassing the center of each pen and the outer perimeter of the facility. Animal performance variables were: feed intake, feed conversion, weight out of the nursery, slaughter weight, weight gain and daily weight gain. According to the results, the analyzed variables showed spatial dependence, with lower temperature and higher relative humidity in the evaporative air cooler environment. However, evaporative air cooler system provided better environment thermal conditions inside the facilities, lowering BGHT values, which were lower in the adiabatic cooling sector. Although thermal conditions were better in the air cooler environment, swine performance was not affected.

ABSTRACT The aim with this study was to evaluate the effects of single- and twin-row spatial arrangements associated with different doses of fertilization on soybean yield and its components. The experiment was carried out at Federal University of Goiás, Campus of Jataí, in a split-plot randomized block design with 10 treatments and four replicates. Each plot corresponded to a dose of P and K fertilization (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400% of the recommended dose) and the subplots to two types of spatial arrangements: single and twin rows. The yield components evaluated were plant final population, number of pods and seeds per plant, number of seeds per pod, weight of a thousand grains and yield. The increase in fertilization dose, even at doses two and four times higher than recommendation, results in increased soybean grain yield for both studied arrangements. The single-row arrangement provides greater soybean yield, regardless of the dose of fertilization, although most of the production components were not negatively affected, except the population.

RESUMO: Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a dinâmica do controle químico de Phakopsora pachyrhizi em plantas de soja submetidas a diferentes regimes hídricos. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental do Instituto Phytus, no município de Itaara, região central do Rio Grande do Sul, na safra 2012/2013. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, em arranjo fatorial (2x6). O fator A foi composto por dois regimes hídricos: 1) déficit hídrico (50-60% da capacidade de campo); 2) sem déficit hídrico (90-100% da capacidade de campo). O fator B consistiu em quatro intervalos de tempo entre a aplicação de fungicidas e a simulação de chuva (0, 30, 60 e 120 min), uma testemunha com aplicação sem chuva e mais uma testemunha sem aplicação de fungicida. Na aplicação foram utilizados os ingredientes ativos trifloxistrobina + protioconazol (60,0 + 70,0 g i.a.ha-1) com adição de Aureo(r) na dose de 0,375 L.p.c ha-1. Os parâmetros avaliados foram o tempo decorrido entre a aplicação e o surgimento da primeira pústula de ferrugem asiática, a severidade da doença, a produtividade e a massa de grãos. Verificou-se que a aplicação de fungicida em plantas sob déficit hídrico proporciona o maior número de dias para o aparecimento da primeira pústula. A simulação de chuva tem grande efeito na remoção de fungicidas independentemente do regime hídrico. O controle de P. pachyrhizi em plantas sob déficit hídrico foi eficaz, resultando em incrementos de produtividade.

RESUMO: A cochonilha-da-roseta, Planococcus citri (Risso, 1813) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), constitui um problema fitossanitário na cultura do café. O controle mais usual dessa praga é o químico, o que pode acarretar, além de problemas socioambientais, a seleção de indivíduos resistentes. Com isso, torna-se necessário o controle alternativo. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar, em condições de laboratório, o potencial inseticida de diferentes partes da planta de Jatropha curcas , em variadas concentrações, sobre P. citri . Discos de folhas de café conilon com 10 cochonilhas (ninfas e adultos) foram pulverizados direta e indiretamente com auxílio da torre de Potter, com pressão de 15 Lb/pol2, aplicando 6 mL de solução por repetição. Testaram-se sete concentrações do óleo e de extratos, tanto na aplicação direta quanto na indireta, com 10 repetições por tratamento, sendo avaliada a mortalidade em função do tempo. Todas as estruturas de pinhão-manso, em ambas as vias de aplicação, apresentaram índices de mortalidade satisfatórios de P. citri , alcançando 91,6% de mortalidade nas concentrações de 1,5, 2,0 e 3,0% do óleo na aplicação direta.

RESUMO Este artigo aborda a prática da preceptoria nos Programas de Residência em Medicina de Família e Comunidade no município do Rio de Janeiro. Por meio de um estudo sobre a preceptoria nestes programas, com base na percepção do preceptor em relação as suas atividades cotidianas, construiu-se uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, utilizando-se a técnica de grupo focal. Ocorreram três grupos focais com 15 preceptores de quatro diferentes programas do município do Rio de Janeiro. Após transcritas as falas, foi realizado o agrupamento temático e a análise de conteúdo, segundo Bardin14. Nos resultados do estudo, observou-se que a agenda de trabalho do preceptor é pouco estruturada, ficando sujeita à presença de várias demandas externas a sua atividade de formação. Assim, nesta agenda foram identificadas atividades educacionais, de gestão, além de atividades referentes à responsabilidade técnica das Clinicas de Família. Na relação com o residente, a supervisão do atendimento clínico individual é destacada como a atividade central da preceptoria, fazendo crer que ocorra certa restrição no olhar sobre o campo ampliado da saúde.

Resumo Em vista da crescente demanda da população por questões relacionadas à saúde, nutrição e bem-estar, o mercado alimentício tem se preocupado em aumentar a inserção de ingredientes mais saudáveis como as frutas, por exemplo, visando atender à nova demanda do consumidor. A otimização de um processo é dependente da presença de dados precisos que permitam o dimensionamento correto dos equipamentos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar amostras comerciais de produtos à base de frutas e avaliar as propriedades termofísicas (densidade, calor específico, difusividade térmica e condutividade térmica) e reológicas (viscosidade aparente e energia de ativação), visando à adequação a modelos teóricos. Os resultados foram ajustados a modelos matemáticos apresentando erros relativos entre 0,2% e 50%, sendo o modelo de ajuste da densidade o mais preciso (erro máximo de 1,7%). O comportamento reológico das amostras teve melhor ajuste ao modelo Lei da Potência (R2 > 0,96) e a viscosidade relacionou-se bem com a temperatura, segundo a equação de Arrhenius (R2 > 0,90).

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar aspectos da sustentabilidade na gestão municipal de resíduos sólidos em um município do Centro Oeste do Paraná. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso de caráter descritivo e com escopo quantitativo. A coleta de dados, que ocorreu no mês de novembro de 2014, se deu por meio da aplicação de questionário estruturado, disponibilizado eletronicamente. A pesquisa contou com uma amostra de 59 munícipes, caracterizada por estudantes de ensino superior, gestores, servidores e técnicos da área ambiental de um município localizado na região Centro Oeste do Paraná, os quais responderam 45 questões relacionadas às dimensões da sustentabilidade. Identificaram-se alguns dos aspectos da sustentabilidade na gestão municipal de resíduos sólidos, verificando que existem entre os respondentes dois grupos com percepções distintas sobre estes aspectos. Desta maneira, é possível supor que os aspectos da sustentabilidade, na gestão municipal de resíduos sólidos do município, ainda não estão perfeitamente alinhados com as demais dimensões ou que talvez estejam alinhados, mas ainda não de conhecimento de toda população, limitado a amostra.

RESUMO Objetivo Conhecer a percepção dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) quanto aos agravos fonoaudiológicos. Método Estudo do tipo transversal que envolveu a aplicação de questionário com questões referentes ao conhecimento dos ACS sobre agravos fonoaudiológicos. Realizado com os ACS alocados no Distrito Sanitário Centro de Florianópolis. Resultados Foram entrevistados 35 ACS, sendo sua maioria (80%) do gênero feminino, com média de idade de 47 anos (desvio padrão = 2,09 anos). Dos ACS entrevistados, 57% afirmaram conhecer o trabalho do fonoaudiólogo, 57% acreditam que não há relação entre as doenças crônicas e fonoaudiologia e 97% acham importante a participação da fonoaudiologia na atenção básica. Quanto à capacitação, 88% dos ACS alegaram não ter tido nenhum tipo de capacitação realizada por fonoaudiólogo; 75% dos profissionais declararam ter feito capacitação da Estratégia Amamenta e Alimenta Brasil; 57%, do Programa Capital Criança; e 41%, do Programa Capital Idoso. Conclusão O conhecimento dos ACS sobre o trabalho do fonoaudiólogo ainda é limitado, mas a importância do trabalho fonoaudiológico é reconhecida na atenção básica. O desconhecimento, no que diz respeito aos agravos fonoaudiológicos, pode estar relacionado à falta de capacitação dos ACS em ações e/ou cursos de educação continuada que poderiam esclarecer e instruir esses profissionais a identificar e melhor orientar a população em suas visitas domiciliares. Destaca-se a necessidade de mais pesquisas voltadas a ações de capacitação desses profissionais.

ABSTRACT Weed management in sugarcane fields must be performed rationally, taking into consideration the competitive ability of cultivars and weeds, to allow for reductions in control costs and herbicide use. In this study, an evaluation was made of the interference of populations of Brachiaria brizantha in sugarcane cultivars, with the objective of estimating the economic threshold level of B. brizantha in competition with the cultivars RB72454, RB867515 and SP801816. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted under field conditions, where the cultivars coexisted with different weed densities. Considering the average values of the variables used for calculations, an economic threshold level was achieved with a population of 0.33, 0.46 and 0.66 plants m-2 of B. brizantha for cultivars RB867515, RB72454 and SP801816, respectively.
Finding out Relationships Among Some Morpho-Biochemical Parameters of Christ's Thorn (Ziziphus spina-christi) under Drought and Salinity Stresses

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT Taking into consideration that modeling and indicating relationship among traits and variables are among the most useful numerical techniques in the biological and botanical researches, and also undeniable impact of drought and salinity stresses, this research was implemented with the aim to consider change in relationship among the traits under separately drought and salinity stresses related to scarcely distributed medicinal plant called Christ thorn (Ziziphus spina-christi). A glass house experiment was implemented in controlled conditions at the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. Five different water stress levels (irrigation at four, six, eight and 10 days intervals, compared to the unstressed control plants with every even days irrigation) and five salinity stress levels (0, 3.2, 6.4, 9.6 and 12.3 dS m-1) were separately induced on plants. Results of this study indicated that salinity and water stresses in addition to their destructive impact on cell and tissue compartment, can adverse and change the relationship among morphological and biochemical parameters in different ways. Cluster analysis could clearly separate traits into two groups under water stress while three groups under salinity stress. Principal component showed that this technique can accounted for a high variation among data under both water and salinity stresses so that it is possible to consider relationship among the traits using principal component in place of classic methods such as correlation coefficients. As result of principal component, it revealed that change in relationship among traits under different stresses is plausible.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT Chenopodium album, leaves were selected to evaluate their antifungal potential against Ascochyta rabiei causative agent for chickpea blight. Different concentrations of methanolic extract of C. album leaves i.e. 1%, 2.5%, 4%, 5.5% and 7% were tested against the target fungus A. rabiei. Maximum reduction in the test fungal biomass (68%) was observed in 7% concentration. This methanolic leaf extract was partitioned and n-butanol, chloroform, n-hexane, ethyl acetate fractions were isolated according to their polarity. In vitro antifungal activity of these fractions was studied by serial dilution method. n-hexane fraction exhibited the highest antifungal potential with 55% inhibition in test fungal biomass, so this fraction was selected for Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Total thirteen compounds identified in this analysis belonged to class aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons, saturated fatty acids, aromatic carboxylic acid, siloxanes, phosphonates and cardiac glycosides. These compounds might be responsible for antifungal activity of C. album.

Published: November 2016

Behaviours and resistance mechanisms of pile groups and piled rafts with or without batter piles were investigated through a series of load tests on foundation models at 1g field. Three-pile pile foundation models were used in the experiments. Dry silica sand having a relative density, Dr, of ∼82% was used for the model ground throughout the experiments. A series of triaxial CD tests of the sand were carried out to characterise the sand behaviour. Close-ended model pipe piles having a length of 255 mm and an outer diameter of 20 mm were used in the foundation models. The results of the load tests are presented and discussed in detail, focusing mainly on the horizontal load tests. Numerical analyses were conducted for cases of the piled rafts subjected to horizontal load to confirm the experimental results and to get a deeper insight into the resistance mechanisms of the piled raft foundations. It is shown from the results that the foundations with batter piles have advantages over the foundations with only vertical piles in aspects of resistance and settlement reduction.
The sustainability of small scale cane growers through youth involvement in North Coast region of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa
Authors: Zwane E , van Niekerk J , Ntshangase W , Ngiba S
Published: November 2016

Cane farming makes an important contribution to the socio-economic development of the rural areas where it takes place. These cane growing areas are characterised by high levels of poverty and youth unemployment. The current crop of cane growers is ageing and there is a need to prepare to handover the baton to the younger generation of cane growers. The minimal involvement of youth in cane farming will have negative implications for the sustainability of cane production in the rural areas. Sustainability of cane production will heavily depend on the current and future participation of young people in cane growing. The researcher's hypothesis was that there is a lack of youth involvement in agriculture which is associated with negative perceptions and attitudes towards cane farming. As a result these farms cannot be sustained beyond the current generation of farmers because young people are not interested in agriculture in general and cane growing in particular. The results disproved the hypothesis. Results showed that young people whose parents are cane growers are already involved in farming activities and assisting their parents. This involvement also increases their willingness to take over farming from their parents. The results show positive inputs in terms of encouraging sustainability in the future of cane farming.
Assessment of cognitive skills in dermatology during internship
Authors: Prasad Arakali Lakshminarayana Shyam , Shanmugam Reddy Praveen Kumar
Published: November 2016

Background: Skin problems constitute a significant percentage of all medical problems, despite which training in recognition and treatment of dermatological disorders during the MBBS course remains abysmal. The situation is compounded due to non-inclusion of dermatology in the final examinations, which results in students having little motivation to learn about this important subject. This study was designed to test whether the present internship training offered in dermatology succeeds in imparting cognitive skills related to common skin problems.

Methods: This was done by means of a pre- and post-test administered before and after their posting. A set of 20 questions were administered to all interns on the first day of their postings as a pre-test and the post-test was given on the last day, after completion of their two week posting.

Results: The results of this preliminary study suggest that there is considerable improvement after their training. The paired t test, the t value was found to be -16.13 with a p value of <0.001, which was statistically significant.

Conclusions: It is possible that use of a pre- and post-test focuses their attention on common entities and thus could be used to improve cognitive skills. To the best of our knowledge a similar study has not been reported from the Indian subcontinent. 
Claves teóricas para leer la literatura de la vanguardia histórica
Authors: Martínez-Moreno Eva
Published: November 2016

En este trabajo se exponen las claves teóricas que estimamos necesarias para leer comprensivamente las obras literarias de la vanguardia histórica. Se parte de la novedosa concepción de la imagen como fenómeno de doble vía, perceptiva e inteligible, por ser el procedimiento principal y común de todas las creaciones. Para conseguir una lectura plena, se plantea analizar los textos desde la unión de fenomenología y gestalt, sugerida por Dalí, su conexión con la estética de la recepción, relacionada a su vez con los principios de Gombrich y Arnheim, y la dimensión cognitiva de todas ellas. Se cuestiona la validez de la estilística y la semiótica para esta pretensión. Además, se concluye que la nueva imagen exige un receptor activo -llamado sensolector por la doble vía- que puede construir la significación de las obras experimentando la lectura como una vivencia creadora equivalente a la del autor, lo que se ejemplifica en la lectura del poema “Sinopsis” de Guillermo de Torre.

Published: November 2016

La representación de la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) se hace cada vez más visible a través de los medios de comunicación, del cine o de la literatura. La presente investigación se centra en el análisis de las diferentes representaciones que llegan a la población infantil sobre la EA, a través del álbum ilustrado. El gran auge que ha cobrado este género, especialmente cuando se destina a los lectores más jóvenes, ha facilitado que nuevos temas tengan cabida, como es el caso de la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Este estudio pretende abordar las imágenes que proyectan de la enfermedad y de su entorno familiar y social, así como analizar si se da una perspectiva libre o no de ideas estereotipadas y estigmatizadoras sobre este tipo de demencia.

Authors: Munita Felipe
Published: November 2016

Las investigaciones sobre aspectos como el perfil lector o el sistema de creencias del profesor y su incidencia en las prácticas docentes, han adquirido una progresiva relevancia en el campo de la didáctica de la lengua y la literatura. En ese marco, se presenta una investigación cualitativa que indaga en las relaciones existentes entre las trayectorias personales de lectura del docente, sus creencias acerca de la literatura y la educación literaria, y las prácticas didácticas en este ámbito. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de caso con tres maestras de una escuela en la cual la promoción de la lectura constituye un eje fundamental del proyecto pedagógico del centro. Los datos se construyeron mediante relatos de vida, entrevistas, observación de aula y notas de campo. Los resultados refuerzan aspectos como la relación que puede establecerse entre perfil lector personal y creencias sobre educación literaria, o la importancia que tienen las creencias del profesor en sus prácticas didácticas. Igualmente, ofrecen matices que dan cuenta de la complejidad de esas relaciones, y subrayan la relevancia de los componentes institucionales en las prácticas de los mediadores de lectura.

Genetic improvement of natural enemies: A review
Authors: Routray* S. , Dey D. , Baral S. , Das A.P. , Mahantheshwara B.
Published: November 2016

Biological control has been accepted as an eco-friendly, technically appropriate, economically viable and socially acceptable method of pest management. Various technologies and methods have been adapted in order to genetically improve the performances of natural enemies (predators, parasitoids and pathogens). Artificial selection of various strains under different conditions, hybridization (heterosis) of different strains and rDNA technologies has been adopted towards these directions. Various traits like tolerant to pesticidal stress, tolerant to extreme abiotic stresses, shortening developmental rate, enhancing progeny production, altering sex ratio and altering host or habitat preferences could enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies. The genetically improved natural enemies (predators, parasitoids and pathogens) might be the next level biological weapons against the pest populations in agricultural systems.
Minerals and its impact on fertility of livestock: A review
Authors: Talukdar* D.J. , Talukdar Papori , Ahmed K.
Published: November 2016

Minerals are essential for growth and reproduction of the livestock. The deficiency of the macro and micro minerals have a great impact on animal’s reproductive physiology and its imbalance causes various problems leading to lowered reproductive efficiency. Adequate minerals supplementation is required as most of the roughages, greens, concentrate and even most of commercial feeds are deficient in trace mineral elements. The best recommendation at present is to provide a feeding program for productive animals which is balanced for all minerals and meets all known requirements.
Direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) under tillage systemswith wheat straw and nitrogen levels
Authors: Singh Avatar , Kumar Rajneesh
Published: November 2016

Field experiment was conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana on direct seeded rice (DSR) with tillage systems and nitrogen (N) levels. The highest grain yield of DSR was recorded in zero tillage with wheat straw (ZTWS), which was statistically at par with zero tillage without wheat straw (ZTWOS). The application of 125 kg N/ha gave the maximum grain yield, which was at par with 100 kg N/ha. The ZTWS at 100 kg N/ha registered higher grain yield, which was at par with ZTWOS at 125 kg N/ha. However, the higher grain yield was recorded with the application of 125 kg N/ha under conventional tillage with wheat straw (CTWS) and with 150 kg N/ha in conventional tillage without wheat straw (CTWOS). Therefore, rice can be grown with ZTWS and ZTWOS with the application of 100 and 125 kg N/ha, respectively for higher productivity at low cost of cultivation by skipping the tillage operation at the time of sowing under the condition of loamy sand soils of Punjab.

Let G be a simple, nontrivial, and connected graph.  is a representation of an ordered set of k distinct vertices in a nontrivial connected graph G. The metric code of a vertex v, where , the ordered  of k-vector is representations of v with respect to W, where  is the distance between the vertices v and wi for 1≤ i ≤k.  Furthermore, the set W is called a local resolving set of G if  for every pair u,v of adjacent vertices of G. The local metric dimension ldim(G) is minimum cardinality of W. The local metric dimension exists for every nontrivial connected graph G. In this paper, we study the local metric dimension of line graph of special graphs , namely path, cycle, generalized star, and wheel. The line graph L(G) of a graph G has a vertex for each edge of G, and two vertices in L(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in G have a vertex in common.

Perceptions regarding synod decisions and the nature of psalms in the RCSA. Since its inception in 1859, the Reformed Church in South Africa has been singing only psalms, scriptural hymns and Biblical songs. Currently, there are two official versifications of the psalms in use within the Reformed Church, namely the so-called Totius versification of 1936 and the 2001 rhymed version of psalm texts, mainly by T.T. Cloete. A study of members’ perceptions of synod decisions and the nature of the psalms in the Reformed Church shows that the psalms are not fully utilised. Synods decide what type of songs, type of songs, including psalms, are approved, are approved for use. Members believe that many psalms are no longer suitable for the 21st-century churchgoer, that synod decisions appear to be out of touch with members’ musical needs and that synods oppose musical innovation.

The purpose of this article is to give an overview of ministers, organists/music leaders and parishioners’ perceptions regarding the nature and use of psalms during worship in the Reformed Church of South Africa as well as synod decisions pertaining to the psalms.

Die Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika sing vanaf die kerk se ontstaan in 1859 slegs psalms, Skrifberymings en Skrifgetroue liedere. Tans is daar twee amptelike psalmberymings in gebruik binne die Gereformeerde Kerk, naamlik die sogenaamde Totius-beryming van 1936, asook die 2001-omdigting met psalmtekste deur hoofsaaklik T.T. Cloete. ’n Studie van lidmate se persepsies oor sinodebesluite en die aard van die psalms binne die Gereformeerde Kerk toon aan dat die psalms nie optimaal benut word nie. Sinodes besluit watter tipe liedere, insluitend psalms, vir gebruik goedgekeur word. Lidmate glo dat talle psalms nie meer geskik is vir die 21ste-eeuse lidmaat nie, dat sinodebesluite uit voeling is met lidmate se musikale behoeftes en dat sinodes
musikale vernuwing teenwerk.

Die doel van hierdie artikel is om ’n oorsig te gee van die persepsies van predikante, orreliste/musiekleiers en gemeentelede met betrekking tot die aard en gebruik van die psalms binne die erediens van die Gereformeerde Kerke van Suid-Afrika, asook sinodebesluite wat hiermee verband hou.
Imágenes melancólicas. El cine de las revoluciones vencidas

En este artículo se explora aquello que Antoine de Baecque llamó la historia-cámara, es decir, “una forma cinematográfica de la historia”. Observaremos lo que el cine nos desvela, más allá de los datos duros y las fuentes verificables de la historiografía, acerca del fin de la esperanza comunista, a partir de películas que considero barómetros de la conciencia de izquierda, como reveladores de sus dilemas y sus cambios.

El título de este artículo es una cita directa del parlamento más famoso que Shakespeare puso en boca de Ricardo, duque de Gloucester; un discurso célebre no sólo por su memorable comienzo: “Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this son of York…” (2009:1.1.1-2) sino también porque es la única ocasión en todo Shakespeare en que un protagonista tiene la oportunidad de comenzar su propia obra con un soliloquio.
LEGAL PROBLEMS OF DUALISM OF JUDICIAL REVIEW SYSTEM IN INDONESIA
Authors: Faiz Pan Mohamad
Published: November 2016

Indonesia implements dualism of judicial review system because there are two different judicial institutions that are granted the authority to review laws and regulations, namely the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. This research aims to analyse the problems caused by the dualism of judicial review system. It found two main legal problems of the current system. First, there is an inconsistency of decisions concerning judicial review cases for the same legal issues decided by the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. Second, there is no mechanism to review the constitutionality of People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) decisions and regulations under the level of law. Based on these findings, this research suggests that the authority to review all laws and regulations should be integrated under the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court.Keywords: Constitutional Court, Constitutional Review, Judicial Review

Collateral in terms of subsequently acquired assets namely subsequently acquired credit might be charged with fiduciary security. This collateral is not considered ideal regarding the high risk a bank must take. To minimize the risks, the bank analyzes the credit thoroughly, impose fiduciary security officials perfectly and performs monitoring of credits regularly to avoid misconduct committed by the debtor. If a default occurs, the bank will take over the assets. Nevertheless, the problems of execution on the subsequently acquired credits might arise due to debtor’s default and bad debts to the third party. Consequently, subsequently acquired assets as collateral provides as additional collateral.Keywords: bank, subsequently acquired objects, fiduciary, security, loans.

Published: November 2016

The pattern of the authority relation between head of local government and Secretary of local government in the promotion of Civil Servants lead into two pattern which are sub-ordination and coordination. Normatively, the position of Secretary is subordinate from Head of local government. Meanwhile, the pattern of coordination is a tiered pattern that puts Secretary as officials who provide recommendations of official candidate to Head of local government as the Trustees of the Local Employment Officer.Both of these relation creates superior position of Head of local government in the terms of promotion of civil servants. To create a proportional authority relation, it necessary pre-requisite form of commitment, orientation of human resources and the use of technology. On that basis, a mechanism must be created to limit the authority of the Head of local government by strengthening the system of merit-based technology.Keywords : position, authority, promotion of civil servants
