English Verb ‘Deliver’ and Wolio Verb ‘Bawa’
Authors: Nurhayati Nurhayati
Published: March 2019

Construction type is a theory proposed by Dixon to analyze sentences based on its semantic type. This study aimed to compare the construction type of ‘deliver’ verb of English compared to ‘bawa’ verbof Wolio language proposed by Dixon and to elaborate the form of ‘bawa’ when it applied in different type of sentences. Generally, for Giving semantic type, there are four types of construction to cover it. There are some words includes in this Giving type and one of the words is ‘deliver’. Descriptive qualitative method is used to analyze this study. To do this study, the writer collects the data from COCA and or BNC for English data, while for Wolio data, the writer gained from observation and or interview. Furthermore, in his framework, ‘deliver’ constructed in construction type I only. Nevertheless, the result of this study shows that beside can be constructed in construction type I, the data from COCA and or BNC shows that ‘deliver’ also can be constructed in construction type II while the for the Wolio language, the data shows that there are two construction type which can be applied for the verb and Dixon’s framework does not cover it. Moreover, in Wolio language, the form of ‘bawa’ verb can be formed in ‘bawa’, ‘tobawa’, ‘bawea’, ‘bawapo’, ‘bawakea’, ‘bawakapea’, and ‘bawapea’.
Applying STAR Strategy to Improve Students’ Vocabulary
Authors: Vlasákova Jana , Manuhutu Natalia
Published: March 2019

The background of the study is the lack of adequate vocabulary by students due to lack of vocabulary exercises. The teacher teaches the students based on the textbook and running it to get the target of the curriculum which not paid attention to the students understanding when it caused them tended to be bored. This study was about the application of STAR strategy to improve students’ vocabulary. Thus, this study was aimed (1) to find out how STAR strategy application can improve students’ vocabulary (2) to explain the students’ perception about learning vocabulary through STAR strategy. The design of this study was a pre-experimental method. The subject of this study was first grade students of the senior high school. Furthermore, the data were gained through a test (pre-test and post-test) and non-test (questionnaire). The test was used to know students’ competence before and after the implementation, while a questionnaire was used to know students’ perceptions towards STAR strategy. The significant findings of the recent study were the students’ vocabulary mastery is significantly increased. It can be seen from the result of students’ average score and good responses by students. Students’ average score from pre-test was 22 and the post-test was 73. The t-test score was higher than the t-table (2,09< 13,66 > 2, 86). It was meant that researchers’ hypothesis could be accepted. Finally, the STAR strategy could be implemented practically and pedagogically in improving students’ vocabulary.

Authors: Mathieu Jean-Paul , Poulet Henri
Published: March 2019

The infrared and Raman spectra of single crystals were obtained. The easy cleavage and the plasticity of the crystals perturb the polarization measurements of the Raman lines, so that the determination of the symmetry of the fundamental vibrations is mainly deduced from infrared measurements. A partial assignment of the As-S stretching vibrations is attempted.

Méthodes de visualisation des milieux poreux en vue de leur analyse quantitative au microscope
Authors: Caye René , Pierrot Roland , Ragot Jean-Paul , Prévosteau Jean-Michel
Published: March 2019

La visualisation de l'espace poreux des roches s'est imposée dans un premier temps pour faciliter l'interprétation pétrographique de mesures physiques. Cette visualisation est obtenue en saturant les échantillons par une résine synthéthique : plexiglass chargée en pigments fluorescents, dont le monomère-méthacrylate de méthyle possède une viscosité très faible. La visualisation sélective d'une fraction du spectre de porosité est possible également en contrôlant la saturation de la roche par le monomère avant la prise de celui-ci à l'étuve. La qualité du contraste de l'espace poreux ainsi obtenue dans une image microscopique permet d'envisager l'emploi systématique des méthodes opto-électroniques pour son analyse quantitative.

À propos de faux vides et de faux PRO : Les sujets des infinitives de l'allemand introduites par um-zu sont-ils contrôlés ?
Authors: Clément Danièle
Published: March 2019

Comment interprète-t-on le sujet sous-jacent des infinitives de l'allemand introduites par um-zu ? La théorie du contrôle de Chomsky, si l'on assimile ces "vides" à PRO, serait à adapter à ces constructions que Chomsky n'a pas envisagées. Mais, comme le montre l'analyse de nombreux exemples attestés, une description purement syntaxique (arborescente) ne saurait prédire toutes les interprétations que le locuteur /auditeur est prêt à admettre. Le mécanisme d'interprétation des "vides" sujets serait plutôt comparable à celui des pronoms personnels, où la sémantique (et peut-être les rôles thématiques) joue un rôle primordial. Le sens de l'infinitive en um-zu semble être au moins aussi déterminant sinon plus que la structure syntaxique de la phrase matrice.
Interprétation sémantique et représentations spatiales dans la bande-image
Authors: Colin Michel
Published: March 2019

This paper attempts to explain how spatial relationships in a sequence of pictures are interpreted. Proceeding from the example of the shot-reverse shot, some formal structures linked with the concept of anaphora are proposed. This notion being unable to explain some patterns, semantical notions such as "spatial frame" and "script" are proposed for research work in this particular field.
L'auto-représentation opacifiante du dire dans certaines formes de "couplage"
Authors: Authier-Revuz Jacqueline
Published: March 2019

This paper is an attempt to define the role of discursive means such as X i.e. Y, X or Y, and X, Y, within the frame of "autonymic modality”, this being how the speaker accompanies his utterances with an element that underlines it as a "mention”. The syntactic, intonational, typographic behaviour of these elements is reviewed : it is globaly seen as a way to associate two "manières de dire” in a metadiscursive interplay.
Le rôle du lexique dans les modèles de grammaire générative, GB et GPSG
Authors: Torris Thérèse
Published: March 2019

In spite of a certain "lexicalization", the generative frameworks GB and GPSG both remain true to the structural approach, expressing such generalizations as passive in the syntax. They offer no theory of the internal structure of the lexicon and, consequently, only a programmatic definition of the syntax/lexicon interface.
Prototypes et définitions
Authors: Rey-Debove Josette
Published: March 2019

La théorie des prototypes est une sémantique lexicale référentielle fondée sur l'exemplification qui tente d'échapper au système des classes et des CNS ; néanmoins, elle en dépend chaque fois que le prototype a un nom ou un attribut qui est une classe. Le prototype est alors très proche de la définition générique des dictionnaires de langue, qui présente une sous-classe prototypique, ou même plusieurs dans le cas des superordonnés. L'anaphore lexicale, qui correspond à une prédication d'inclusion vraie et qui sert à désigner, fonde la différence entre l'attribut-qualité et l'attribut-classe. Une étude des combinaisons possibles d'attributs dans le référentiel et dans les mots montre que le lexique est un produit arbitraire et incohérent par rapport aux notions, pour lequel les CNS relèvent de la devinette.

SIMPLE METHODS OF ENGINEERING CALCULATION FOR SOLVING HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEMS
Authors: Kalis H. , Kangro I.
Published: March 2019

There are well-known numerical methods for solving the initial‐boundary value problems for partial differential equations. We mention only some of them: finite difference method (FDM), finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), Galerkin type methods and others. In the given work FDM and BEM are considered for determination a distribution of heat in the multilayer media. These methods were used for the reduction of the 1D heat transfer problem described by a partial differential equation to an initial‐value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Such a procedure allows us to obtain a simple engineering algorithm for solving heat transfer equation in multilayered domain. In a stationary case the exact finite difference scheme is obtained. An inverse problem is also solved. The heat transfer coefficients are found and temperatures in the interior layers depending on the given temperatures inside and outside of a domain are obtained.

Published: March 2019

The dynamics of a free thin film attached to a rectangular frame surrounded by an ambient gas is studied theoretically. The mathematical model is described by evolutionary nonlinear system for the longitudinal velocity components and film thickness. The 1D form of the nonstationary problem is solved by a finite difference scheme. The film shape evolution in time is tracked at different Reynolds numbers, Re. The steady state solutions are reached asymptotically in time for a large range of Re.
Methodology for determining the correlation of the clinical efficacy of therapy with the addition of a drug (for example, anti-asthma therapy in children)
Authors: Zhukova Olga V.
Published: March 2019

Introduction: In the recent years, much attention has been paid to the use of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) in the treatment of bronchial asthma (BA). It has been even proposed to use them as alternatives to hormone therapy. Yet, there are studies demonstrating the advantage of montelukast as similar to placebo. The objective was to create a methodology for determining the correlation of the clinical efficacy of therapy with the addition of a drug (on example, clinical efficacy of montelukast in an anti-asthmatic therapy in pediatric patients).

Materials and methods: The data on prescribed regimens was retrospectively extracted from the inpatient records of 608 BA patients admitted to hospital in 2014–2015. Mathematical evaluation was based on the risk factor concept.

Results and discussion: The absolute efficacies (AEs) was estimated to be 91.85% (95% CI 90.15–93.55%) in the exposed group; the attributable efficacy (AtE) was found to be 17.00% (95% CI 10.91–23.09%); the relative efficacy (RE) was found to be 1.23 (95% CI 0.21–2.24); and the population attributable efficacy (PAtE) was found to be 7.55% (95% CI 2.49–12.61%).

Conclusions: The AtE, RE, and PAtE were statistically significant. The RE was found to be 1.23. However, the lower lim- it of its 95% CI (0.21–2.24) was less than 1, indicating that the increase in clinical efficacy was not found to be statistically significant. In the studied sample positive outcome rates were 91.85% (95% CI 90.15–93.55%) in the exposed group and 74.85% (95% CI 72.49–77.21%) in the comparator group. He presented methodology for determining the correlation of

the clinical efficacy of the pharmacotherapy regimen with the addition of a drug can be successfully applied in the future.
A new computer-controlled platform for ADC-based true random number generator and its applications

Published: March 2019

The basis of encryption techniques is random number generators (RNGs). The application areas of cryptology are increasing in number due to continuously developing technology, so the need for RNGs is increasing rapidly, too. RNGs can be divided into two categories as pseudorandom number generator (PRNGs) and true random number generator (TRNGs). TRNGs are systems that use unpredictable and uncontrollable entropy sources and generate random numbers. During the design of TRNGs, while analog signals belonging to the used entropy sources are being converted to digital data, generally comparators, flip-flops, Schmitt triggers, and ADCs are used. In this study, a computer-controlled new and flexible platform to find the most appropriate system parameters in ADC-based TRNG designs is designed and realized. As a sample application with this new platform, six different TRNGs that use three different outputs of Zhongtang, which is a continuous time chaotic system, as an entropy source are designed. Random number series generated with the six designed TRNGs are put through the NIST800–22 test, which has the internationally highest standards, and they pass all tests. With the help of the new platform designed, ADC-based high-quality TRNGs can be developed fast and also without the need for expertise. The platform has been designed to decide which entropy source and parameter are better by comparing them before complex embedded TRNG designs. In addition, this platform can be used for educational purposes to explain how to work an ADC-based TRNG. That is why it can be utilized as an experiment set in engineering education, as well.
An approach to improve the performance of cooperative unmanned vehicle team
Authors: KIVANÇ ÖMER CİHAN
Published: March 2019

In this paper, a method based on optimal energy management is proposed in order to improve the operational and tactical abilities of collaborative unmanned vehicle teams. Collaborative unmanned systems are used in surveillance, tracking, and military operations. The optimal assignment of these tasks requires cooperation among the vehicles in order to generate a strategy that is efficient with respect to overall mission duration and satisfies all problem constraints. The key motivation behind this paper is to design an unmanned vehicle team that mitigates the disadvantages caused by the structures and characteristics of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are used in these systems. The design steps of the developed system are explained in three sections in a multidisciplinary fashion. In the first section, the optimal energy consumption profile is estimated by simulating the UAV’s flight on a Nvidia Jetson TX2 embedded system, located on the UGV. In the second section, a UAV charger design and implementation is done via development of a TMS320F28335 DSP controlled 65 W inductive wireless power transfer circuit, and in the third section an algorithm that calculates the optimal range and route for the user-selected way points using the state of charge of the UAV’s LiPo batteries and a preflight simulation using the simulated annealing method are developed. The experiments are performed in real time with an example scenario and the proposed strategy’s suitability and effectiveness are verified for cooperative unmanned vehicle teams.

Published: March 2019

Sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is an important clinical tool for automatic sleep staging process. Sleep EEG signal is effected by artifacts and other biological signal sources, such as electrooculogram (EOG) and electromyogram (EMG), and since it is effected, its clinical utility reduces. Therefore, eliminating EOG artifacts from sleep EEG signal is a major challenge for automatic sleep staging. We have studied the effects of EOG signals on sleep EEG and tried to remove them from the EEG signals by using regression method. The EEG and EOG recordings of seven subjects were obtained from the Sleep Research Laboratory of Meram Medicine Faculty of Necmettin Erbakan University. A dataset consisting of 58 h and 6941 epochs was used in the research. Then, in order to see the consequences of this process, we classified pure sleep EEG and artifact-eliminated EEG signals with artificial neural networks (ANN). The results showed that elimination of EOG artifacts raised the classification accuracy on each subject at a range of 1%– 1.5%. However, this increase was obtained for a single parameter. This can be regarded as an important improvement if the whole system is considered. However, different artifact elimination strategies combined with different classification methods for another sleep EEG artifact may give higher accuracy differences between original and purified signals.

Published: March 2019

Aim: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the correlation between the integrity of the outer retinal layers on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and objective parameters of retinal microvascular perfusion on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Method: 105 eyes of 54 diabetic patients were included in to the study. Integrity of the outer retinal layers including the external limiting membrane (ELM), ellipsoid zone (EZ), and interdigitation zone (IZ) were assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and vessel density (VD) measurements in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) in all the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) sectors were evaluated by OCTA. Association between the quantitative measurement of the foveal avascular zone and retinal vessel density measurements and outer retinal disruptions were evaluated.
Results: FAZ area was correlated with outer retinal layer disruption at both in the superficial plexus (r = 0.244, 0.228, 0.212, p = 0.013, 0.02, 0.031 for the ELM, EZ and IZ respectively) and deep capillary plexus (r = 0.298, 0.234, 0.197, p = 0.002, 0.019, 0.048 for the ELM, EZ and IZ respectively). A significant relationship was also found between the VD measurements in the SCP and DCP in ETDRS sectors and the outer retinal layers disruption.
Conclusion: The result of the current study shows a significant relationship between the quantitative OCTA parameters and the integrity of the outer retinal layers and. This finding reveals a correlation between retinal capillary nonperfusion and outer retinal disruption in eyes with diabetic retinopathy.

Energy Efficient Trust Node Based Routing Protocol (EETRP) to Maximize the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks in Plateaus
Authors: Srikanth Nandoori , Prasad Muktyala Sivaganga
Published: March 2019

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can extant the individual profits and suppleness with regard to low-power and economical quick deployment for numerous applications. WSNs are widely utilized in medical health care, environmental monitoring, emergencies and remote control areas. Introducing of mobile nodes in clusters is a traditional approach, to assemble the data from sensor nodes and forward to the Base station. Energy efficiency and lifetime improvements are key research areas from past few decades. In this research, to solve the energy limitation to upsurge the network lifetime, Energy efficient trust node based routing protocol is proposed. An experimental validation of framework is focused on Packet Delivery Ratio, network lifetime, throughput, energy consumption and network loss among all other challenges. This protocol assigns some high energy nodes as trusted nodes, and it decides the mobility of data collector.  The energy of mobile nodes, and sensor nodes can save up to a great extent by collecting data from trusted nodes based on their trustworthiness and energy efficiency.  The simulation outcome of our evaluation shows an improvement in all these parameters than existing clustering and Routing algorithms.
Discriminating Among Pacific Salmon, Rainbow Trout, and Atlantic Salmon Species Using Common Genetic Screening Methods
Authors: Habicht Christopher , Smith Christian T. , Barclay Andrew , Hoyt Heather A. , Turnquist Keith , Larson Wesley A
Published: March 2019

The five most common species of Pacific salmon, Rainbow Trout (steelhead) Oncorhynchus spp., and Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar intermingle in the North Pacific Ocean and its freshwater tributaries. Efficient morphological methods for distinguishing among these species are sometimes limited by condition of the specimen (degraded or missing morphology), life history stage, or training of the observer. Researchers have successfully applied various genetic methods to distinguish among these species when morphological analyses are not possible, but they cannot easily incorporate these methods into standard fish and wildlife population monitoring analysis workflows. Here we test five 5′–3′ exonuclease (TaqMan) assays developed from mitochondrial genes and provide novel methods that take advantage of TaqMan output to distinguish among these species. We found that combinations of as few as two of the five assays were adequate to distinguish all species. TaqMan chemistry is designed to interrogate a single nucleotide locus. We also explore the basis for the variation in the observed scatter plot distributions (variation in florescent signals) and show that this variation is due to nucleotide diversity in and near the probe site. Because the SNPs underlying the assays developed here are all physically close to one another along the mitochondrial genome, the potential exists to develop a single DNA sequence-based assay to discriminate among salmon species. This single assay can be added to a genotyping-by-sequencing panel to identify and exclude nontarget species from analyses.

Le rôle des stratégies des entreprises multinationales dans la structuration des chaînes d’approvisionnement globales : une entrée par l’industrie automobile
Authors: Pardi Tommaso
Published: March 2019

L’article se penche sur le rôle des stratégies d’internationalisation des constructeurs automobiles mondiaux dans la gouvernance des chaînes d’approvisionnement globales et sur leur impact sur l’upgrading économique et social des pays émergents. Basé sur l’analyse des 16 principaux constructeurs automobiles mondiaux entre 2000 et 2014, il identifie et caractérise deux modèles d’internationalisation opposés : le modèle global-centralisé où le processus d’internationalisation est poussé par des plates-formes et des standards mondiaux conçus et contrôlés par des ingénieries centralisées ; et le modèle multi-domestique-décentralisé où les processus d’internationalisation sont tirés par une autonomie accrue donnée aux filiales internationales dans la conception et la production de véhicules low-cost pour des marchés émergents. L’article montre que si la stratégie mondiale centralisée reste aujourd’hui dominante, le déploiement réussi de la stratégie multi-domestique-décentralisée crée de meilleures opportunités d’upgrading fonctionnel et social dans les pays émergents.Classification JEL :F23, J81, L2, L62, O3.
Structure productive et effet d’entraînements productifs à l’ère des chaînes globales de valeur : une analyse input-output
Authors: Glauber Vital da Costa Kaio , Reis Castilho Marta , Puchet Anyul Martín
Published: March 2019

Cette étude analyse la relation entre la participation dans les chaînes globales de valeur (CGV) et la complexité des structures productives pour un ensemble de pays développés et de pays en développement dans la période 1995-2011. Pour cela, nous analysons la participation de ces pays dans les CGV au moyen du contenu importé des exportations. Compte tenu de la complexité des structures productives, nous suggérons d’utiliser l’indicateur de circularité globale comme indicateur de complexité structurelle et l’indicateur de « average propagation length » qui mesure la taille des chaînes. Nous montrons que le degré et le type d’articulation intersectorielle des économies aident à comprendre la forme et l’intensité de la participation des pays dans les CGV. Les résultats montrent une relation non linéaire entre l’insertion des pays dans les CGV et le degré de complexité de leurs structures productives.Classification JEL : L16; C67; F1.
The Role of Smart Technologies to Support Citizen Engagement and Decision Making

Published: March 2019

Smart government relies both on the application of digital technologies to enable citizen's participation in order to achieve a high level of citizen centricity and on data-driven decision making in order to improve the quality of life of citizens. Data-driven decisions in turn depend on accessible and reliable datasets, which open government and social media data are likely to promise. The SmartGov project uses digital technologies by integrating open and social media data in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps to model real life problems and simulate different scenarios leading to better decision making. This research performed a multiple-case analysis in two pilot cities. Both municipalities use the technologies to find the best routes: Limassol to improve the garbage collection and Quart de Poblet to improve the walking routes of chaperones guiding children to school. The article proposes a generic framework for Smart City Governance focusing on the inputs and outcomes of this process in the use of technologies for policy making built based on the analysis of the SmartGov.

Published: March 2019

Objective: Urinoma is a rare entity and mainly occurs due to acute obstruction such as ureteral stone. We aimed to demonstrate factors associated with urinoma accompanied by ureteral calculi. Material and methods: Data of 550 patients who were diagnosed with ureteral stone by computed tomography (CT) were analyzed retrospectively. In 20 patients perirenal urinoma was associated with ureteral calculi (group I), whereas in other 530 patients no urinoma was detected (group II). Gender, age, size, side and localization of the stone, hydronephrosis, fever, sepsis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), hematuria, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT) and cronic kidney disease (CKD) of the two groups were compared. Results: The average age of the patients were 46.2 (20-71) and 44.9 (10-82) years in group I and group II, respectively (p > 0.05). According to our results leukocytosis, microscopic and macroscopic hematuria, UTIs, increase of serum creatinine, BUN and CRP, diagnosis of DM and HT were significantly associated with urinoma (p < 0.05). In addition, patients with distal ureteral stones are more prone to urinoma (p = 0.001). An interesting finding of the study was that the stone size in group I (median 5 mm [range 3-8]) was significantly smaller than in group II (9.3 mm [4-25]; p = 0.001). Conclusions: Small stone size, distal localisation of the stone in ureter, leukocytosis, hematuria, UTIs, increase of serum creatinine, BUN and CRP, presence of DM and HT are associated with perirenal urinoma.

Varicocele is a dilation of the pampiniform venous plexus, mainly affecting the left side of the scrotum. In rare cases, however, the right side is affected. When this occurs, a retroperitoneal disease should be suspected, such as right-sided renal neoplasm. The present case report highlights the importance of right-sided varicocele in the diagnostic investigation of neoplasm of the right kidney.

The housing of farmed animals is increasingly scrutinised by society and thereby subject to a change towards more animal-friendly systems. For rabbits, also kept as pets, there are no EC regulations regarding their housing under farming conditions. In many countries, studies have been carried out to improve their welfare and health under current and alternative housing systems. This paper reviews and integrates the research efforts made since the EFSA report in 2005 on reproducing rabbit does and provides some conclusions, where possible, with special emphasis on animal welfare according to the principles stated by the Welfare Quality® project, i.e. good housing, good health and appropriate behaviour. The use of an elevated platform provides greater opportunities for does and their kits to move, jumping up and down. Management and housing systems (especially flooring) must guarantee good hygienic conditions (all-in, all-out) and separation of the rabbits from their excreta for proper resting places, hygiene and health. Plastic floors and footrests and environmental enrichments (e.g. gnawing material) are also recommended. Continuous group housing systems for reproducing females have been definitively proven to challenge animal welfare by increased aggression and injuries among does and to kits. Part-time group housing systems have proven to have potential, but cannot yet be recommended in farms until major problems of aggression and injuries among animals are solved.
Desafios do reconhecimento nas relações íntimas: um debate com Axel Honneth
Authors: Mattos Patricia
Published: March 2019

Em diálogo com Axel Honneth, analiso os desafios do reconhecimento nas relações íntimas à luz de pesquisas qualitativas realizadas com homens e mulheres heterossexuais de classes média e média alta sobre o amor romântico nos dias de hoje. As pesquisas revelaram as ambiguidades da concepção de amor que resultou do crescente processo de individualização e democratização das relações de gênero na intimidade. Ainda que o reconhecimento no amor seja importante para homens e mulheres, estas explicitaram, de forma mais enfática, o déficit de reconhecimento nas relações íntimas – não reconhecimento, reconhecimento limitado ou falso. Destaco as formas de sofrimento emocional feminino criadas com a institucionalização do campo sexual, que separou sexo de envolvimento afetivo, apontando os dilemas e contradições da liberdade sexual para as mulheres. Se, por um lado, a reconstrução normativa das relações íntimas de Honneth consegue elucidar as regras morais tacitamente postas nas interações amorosas e a importância do amor para uma teoria moral da “boa vida”, por outro, superestima as potencialidades do reconhecimento na esfera íntima. Além disso, pretendo mostrar as ambivalências do “novo feminismo” e as limitações dos estudos de gênero e sexualidade contemporâneos, com ênfase nas sexualidades “não normativas” e na desconstrução dos binarismos de gênero que, contraditoriamente, contribuem para eclipsar diferenças de gênero em torno do amor e da sexualidade e, com isso, acabam colaborando para tornar imperceptíveis sofrimentos femininos.
Teorias do reconhecimento e sua validade heurística para a análise da cidadania e movimentos sociais no Brasil – o caso do movimento negro
Authors: Paiva Angela Randolpho
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo pretende trazer três teorias, sobre cidadania, sobre movimentos sociais e sobre as teorias do reconhecimento de Nancy Fraser e Axel Honneth, teorias produzidas no “norte”, no sentido de ver sua validade heurística para a compreensão das questões contemporâneas do Brasil. Pretende-se mostrar que trazem grande aporte para a análise da esfera pública brasileira desde a redemocratização do país. Partindo de uma sociologia histórica, vai ser enfatizada a transformação que vem acontecendo nos acordos normativos da esfera pública, no que concerne tanto à emer- gência de movimentos sociais quanto ao questionamento das desigualdades persistentes no Brasil em torno da questão racial. Vai ser defendido que o ideário de direitos é instrumento poderoso para a conquista de nova cidadania, e que a teoria do reconhecimento representa importante chave analítica para a compreensão dos novos movimentos sociais.
Reconhecimento, justiça e a questão da autonomia: desafios para uma teoria social normativa
Authors: Sobottka Emil Albert , De Santo Thais Marques
Published: March 2019

O conhecimento científico em geral, e a teoria social de modo particular, progridem com debates públicos. O debate que Nancy Fraser e Axel Honneth travaram há duas décadas e meia contribuiu para explicitar melhor, no contexto da Teoria Crítica, questões relacionadas ao reconhecimento, à justiça distributiva e também à autonomia dos indivíduos em um cenário em que novos mo- vimentos sociais e novos temas contribuíram para diversificar as lutas sociais. O presente texto rememora brevemente a mudança no cenário, delineia em largos traços o surgimento da proposta de uma teoria do reconhecimento feita por Axel Honneth, para então abordar alguns dos prin- cipais aprendizados que aquele debate trouxe, bem como aponta contribuições de Fraser para o campo da Teoria Crítica. Ele se encerra com uma reflexão sobre algumas implicações do debate que poderiam se tornar produtivas em nosso contexto.

Introduction: Hepatitis B and C viral infections share common modes of transmission and account for a large proportion of liver disease burden across the globe. Patients with Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection may have more severe liver disease and are potentially at higher risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the sero-occurrence of HBV/HCV co-infection by examining the medical records of tertiary care hospital patients in Central India and determine the extent of liver damage based on liver function tests (LFTs).Methods: Patients with a positive test for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) over a period of 10 years were identified from laboratory records in a tertiary care facility in central India. Records of 51,075 consecutive non-duplicate blood samples were then screened for a positive HBV and HCV tests. LFT, liver enzymes, and bilirubin data were also extracted. Means and standard deviations were determined for continuous variables, and the difference in means was compared using a independent samples t-test. Associations between HBV/HCV co-infection status and demographic variables were calculated using Pearson’s Chi-squared test. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: In this study, 1674 (3.27%) screened patients were positive for HBsAg and the sero-occurrence of co-infection with HCV in HBsAg positive patients was reported in 28 individuals (1.67%). There was no significant gender difference for HBV/HCV co-infection (p>0.05). HBV/HCV co-infection was observed more frequently in the 31-60 year old age group (p=0.001). HBV/HCV co-infected patients had significantly higher levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin than those with HBsAg mono-infection (p=0.001).Conclusion: Liver function tests are potentially important predictors for HBV/HCV coinfection. Screening for HCV co-infection in HBsAg-positive patients is recommended in India. Detection of co-infection may enable timely preventive/therapeutic interventions aimed at preventing progression to hepatocellular carcinoma.
Community as Temple: Revisiting Cultic Metaphors in Qumran and the New Testament
Authors: Regev Eyal
Published: March 2019

In this article, I will compare the different usages of symbolism for the community as temple in the Community Rule (1QS) and 4QFlorilegium to those in the NT—Paul’s Epistles, Ephesians, and 1 Peter. I will reassess the link that these expressions create between the cult/community and the Jerusalem Temple to determine whether the widespread assumption that the community truly replaced the temple is correct. The Community Rule’s metaphors are sophisticated, including not only temple terminology (although the temple itself is never explicitly mentioned) but also the priestly or sacrificial function of atonement. I propose taking “the Temple of Man” (miqdash adam) wherein the torah practices are offered up as similar to the cultic metaphor in the Community Rule. For Paul, such cultic metaphors are part of a wider system, which is secondary to his rhetorical and functional needs. There are clear differences between Paul’s identifying his community as the temple as compared to the Yahad’s, but there are also strong similarities between the Community Rule, Ephesians, and especially 1 Peter.

The application of spectroradiometry techniques to the study of tree species allows the acquisition of information related to plant physiology and morphology, which can be used in conjunction with orbital images. However, it is known that when a leaf is extracted the senescence process is started, which is characterized by cell constituents degradation, loss of water and modifications of the foliar mesophyll structure. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of the collection time and storage form on the spectral response of ipê-amarelo leaves. Thus, 32 leaves were collected in distinct times (1h, 2h, 24h and 48h) and conditioned with(C) and without(S) thermal storage. The data were evaluated from the visual analysis of the spectral curves, derivative analysis and statistical analysis. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized block design and data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test (p = 0.05). Results indicated that thermal storage might delay the senescence process of the leaves. Both the collection time and the storage form affect the pattern of spectral behavior of the leaves of ipê-amarelo. The collection time has not shown significant differences between 1-2h. The largest differences were found between 2-24h after collection.

Considering the importance of nutrient cycling as an indicator in the maintenance of the ecosystem productivity, the present study aimed to assess the seasonal dynamics of production and decomposition rate of litter in a fragment of Cerrado sensu stricto. The litter collections were carried out monthly from june 2016 to may 2017, after which the leaves, branches and reproductive material were separated. The litter decomposition was evaluated using the litter bags method, with a random distribution of 288 litter bags. The annual production of litterfall was quantified in 6.042,50 kg.ha-1.yr-1, in which the leaf prevalent fraction presented a production of 4.644,40 kg.ha-1.yr-1, then, the fractions branches (1.084,10 kg.ha-1.yr-1) and reproductive material (329,90 kg.ha-1.yr-1). The litterfall obtained higher production in july with 1.464,00 kg.ha-1 and lower production in the month of December (138,70 kg.ha-1). A significant negative correlation was observed between litterfall and its fractions with the precipitation and relative humidity. The decomposition of foliar mass reached 49% and 50% of twigs during the nine-month period, in which the decomposition constant (k) for leaf mass and for branches was 0.0030g g-1day-1. For this constant, the estimate for the disappearance of total mass has been estimated to be 1.000 days (29 months). The breakdown proved to be slow for both leaves and branches thus obtaining the value of the constant of decomposition 0.0030g g-1 day-1for both.
