Integration of gaze information during online language comprehension and learning
Authors: MacDonald Kyle Earl , Swanson Elizabeth , Frank Michael C.
Published: April 2019

Face-to-face communication provides access to visual information that can support language processing. But do listeners automatically seek social information without regard to the language processing task? Here, we present two eye-tracking studies that ask whether listeners’ knowledge of word-object links changes how they actively gather a social cue to reference (eye gaze) during real-time language processing. First, when processing familiar words, children and adults did not delay their gaze shifts to seek a disambiguating gaze cue. When processing novel words, however, children and adults fixated longer on a speaker who provided a gaze cue, which led to an increase in looking to the named object and less looking to the other object in the scene. These results suggest that listeners use their knowledge of object labels when deciding how to allocate visual attention to social partners, which in turn changes the visual input to language processing mechanisms.
The efficacy of school-based interventions to increase MVPA and MBSE outcomes in adolescent males. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Cox Ashley , Fairclough Stuart J. , Kosteli Maria-Christina , Noonan Robert J.
Published: April 2019

Background: It has been reported that boys’ and girls’ physical activity (PA) levels decline throughout adolescence. Boys are at risk of physical inactivity during adolescence however, in intervention research they are an under-represented group relative to girls. It is suggested that the school environment may be central to developing interventions that support adolescents in meeting the current PA guidelines. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the efficacy of school-based interventions to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and muscle and bone strengthening exercise (MBSE) outcomes in adolescent males. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the preferred reporting systems for meta-analyses guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO (Registration number: CRD42018091023). Eligible studies were published in English within peer-reviewed articles. Searches were conducted in three databases, with an additional grey literature search in Google Scholar. Studies with MVPA and MBSE as outcomes were included.Results: There were 51 data sets identified across 15 studies, from eight countries. Overall methodological quality of the studies was moderate to strong. Significant, small effect sizes were identified following a pooled analysis of all studies which aimed to increase MVPA and MBSE outcomes (g = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.15, 0.37, P = <.001). Interventions targeting MVPA were ineffective (g = -0.09, 95% CI -0.72, -0.53, P = 0.77). Interventions targeting MBSE evidenced a small to medium effect (g = 0.27, CI 0.16, 0.39, P = <.001). Sub-group analyses of MBSE delivery method resulted in small to medium effects: Upper limb MBSE (g = 0.23, 95% CI 0.03, 0.43, p = 0.02), lower limb MBSE (g = 0.21, 95% CI 0.09, 0.33, p <0.00), combined resistance activities (g = 0.22, 95% CI 0.05 – 0.39, p = <0.00), plyometric activities (g = 0.39, 95% CI 0.09, 0.68, p = 0.01), body weight (g = 0.21, 95% CI -0.00, 0.44, p = 0.05), and traditional MBSE methods (g = 0.43, 95% CI -0.09, 0.78, p = 0.01).Conclusions: School-based interventions which aim to increase MVPA in adolescent males were not effective. Interventions focused on MBSE demonstrated small to moderate effects. Traditional and plyometric methods of MBSE appear to be the most effective form of PA delivery in adolescent males. More quality research is required to assess the impact of MBSE delivered in the school environment in order to inform future intervention design.
Effort and duration matched ‘High Intensity Interval Training’ using cycle ergometry compared to leg press resistance training
Authors: Silva Marcelo Henrique , de Lira Cláudio André Barbosa , Steele James , Fisher James , Mota João Felipe , Gomes Aline Corado , Gentil Paulo
Published: April 2019

Purpose: Exercises for increasing muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness are traditionally prescribed separately, based on the different characteristics of the modalities and the adaptations that each typically promotes. This separation has been questioned by recent studies that suggest that the intensity of effort at which the exercise is performed seems to impart greater influence than the equipment involved. Based on this assumption, it has been proposed that ‘cardio’ training and resistance training might promote similar adaptations as long as effort and duration are equated. The objective of the present study was to compare two ‘High Intensity Interval Training’ protocols matched for effort and duration using different exercise modalities, leg press (resistance training) and cycle ergometry (‘cardio’), upon changes in muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower limb composition in recreationally trained men. Methods: Twenty-five trained men (28.9 ± 5.6 years, 6.6 ± 5.6 years of training experience) were randomly divided into two groups. One group performed sprint interval training on a cycle ergometer (4 sets of 30 seconds sprints) and the other performed leg press (4 sets of 10-12 repetitions to momentary failure). Both groups trained three times a week for 5 weeks. Before and after the training period, the participants performed a 10-repetition maximum (10RM) for knee extension, An incremental exercise test on a treadmill for time to exhaustion (TTE) and peak oxygen consumption (V ̇O2peak), and underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry to assess lower limb composition. Results: Knee extension 10RM and TTE increased in both groups with no statistically significant between group difference (p = 0.614 and p = 0.210). There was a statistically significant between group difference for change in V ̇O2peak (p = 0.023) with only the cycle ergometer group showing a significant within group increase. For all lower limb composition outcomes, changes were minimal. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that 5 weeks of effort and duration matched ‘High Intensity Interval Training’ using cycle ergometry ‘cardio’ or leg press resistance training may produce similar strength and endurance (TTE) adaptations. However, ‘cardio’ modality training may produce greater increases in cardiorespiratory fitness.

Published: April 2019

The unilocular radiolucencies, with its wide range of possible diagnosis, remain the topic of much debate and interest for clinicians. These lesions cannot be diagnosed solely based on radiographic appearance, but should be based on clinical, radiological and histopathological features. Due to high probability of misdiagnosis of this entity, a sound knowledge of various unilocular radiolucencies, adequate use of diagnostic aids and careful observation is important to provide proper diagnosis and treatment. Here, we present a case of a unilocular lesion in the right anterior maxilla with two impacted teeth.

Published: April 2019

Background: Periodontal disease is initiated by bacterial accumulation but some risk factors like genetics also can be responsible for disease progression. Genetic determinants that exist could be suggestive of specific dermatoglyphic patterns for periodontitis. Hence, the present study was an attempt to find if there is any correlation between fingerprint patterns and periodontal diseases.

Aim: To compare the fingerprint patterns in generalised chronic periodontitis and chronic generalised gingivitis subjects.

Materials and methods: 800 subjects were included in the study. 437 subjects were diagnosed with generalised chronic periodontitis and 363 subjects were diagnosed with chronic generalised gingivitis. Fingerprint patterns were recorded and were analysed manually with illuminated 6X high powered magnifying glass. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis.

Results: An increased frequency of radial loop pattern (39.01%) was found in chronic generalised gingivitis subjects, whereas; in generalised chronic periodontitis subjects higher frequency of ulnar loop (37.53%) and central pocket whorl pattern (36.16%) was observed.

Conclusion: Dermatoglyphics could be used together with the other diagnostic aids for prediction of periodontal diseases.

Published: April 2019

Gingival recession is one of the aesthetic concern for a beautiful smile. In an aesthetically driven era, root coverage requires consideration of all prognostic factors for successful results. This paper reports a case of treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession involving multiple teeth. A modified coronally advanced flap procedure was performed. At the postoperative follow-up visits, healing was uneventful. After 9 months, excellent aesthetic result was achieved with complete root coverage. Periodontal health was normal and the patient was satisfied with the result.

Authors: Bista Soni , Adhikari Khushbu , Saimbi Charanjeet Singh , Agrahari Bikash
Published: April 2019

Background: Frenum that encroaches on the margin of the gingiva may interfere with plaque removal and can lead to gingival recession and midline diastema. Thus in order to facilitate maintenance of proper oral hygiene and prevention of gingival recession, frenectomy is done.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the diode laser and the scalpel technique on the degree of postoperative pain experienced by patients after frenectomy.

Materials and Methods: Twenty patients requiring frenectomy were randomly assigned to two treatment groups, one with a diode laser and the other with a scalpel. The postoperative pain of each patient was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale and the number of analgesic used was recorded on postoperative days one and seven.

Results: Patients treated with the diode laser had significantly less postoperative pain at day one and used less number of analgesic (2.30 ±0.94) as compared to scalpel surgery (4.40 ±1.07).

Conclusion: This comparative study indicates that diode laser treatment for frenectomy provides better patient perception in terms of pain compared to scalpel technique.
Lip Repositioning Surgery: A Newer Paradigm in Periodontal Aesthetics
Authors: Humagain Manoj , Dawadi Asmita
Published: April 2019

Periodontal plastic or aesthetic surgery by its definition comprises of surgical procedures performed to correct or eliminate anatomic, developmental or traumatic deformities of the gingiva or oral mucosa. ‘Perfect smile’ has been the common desire of many people in this era. Smile has significant role in the expression, appearance and in the development of self-esteem. Excessive gingival display, which is commonly termed as ‘gummy smile’ will adversely affects smile aesthetics and is therefore undesirable to many people. It is one of the several developmental or acquired deformities and conditions that manifest in the periodontium. Different literature reveals common consensus on considering gingival display of greater than 3 mm is gummy smile and is unaesthetic. Lip repositioning surgery has been establishing as a promising less invasive alternative treatment modality in aesthetic rehabilitation for the cases of excessive gingival display. Perseverance and application of such technique shall provide many more a horizon to this young but highly imaginative and creative technique in periodontal therapy to charter.

Authors: Agrawal Shweta , Koirala Pramod Kumar , Pradhan Shalini , Gorkhali Ranjita Shrestha
Published: April 2019

Free gingival graft is one of the technique used for root coverage so as to increase the inadequate keratinized tissue. The donor tissue is most frequently taken from the palate and generally the donor site is not covered or protected. Platelet rich fibrin is one of the good option for the wound coverage of donor site after free gingival graft so as to reduce the pain perception to patient and faster wound healing. The case report includes two cases with gingival recession, treated on the same day with free gingival graft with the use of platelet rich fibrin in the donor site in case 1 and without platelet rich fibrin in case 2 respectively which were compared for pain perception and wound healing postoperatively at 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 14 days. There was less pain perception and discomfort in the donor site with the use of platelet rich fibrin and enhanced healing compared to donor site without platelet rich fibrin.

Authors: Kafle Shristi , Pradhan Shaili , Gupta Sujaya
Published: April 2019

Background: Chronic periodontitis is a highly prevalent and recurrent form of periodontal disease and locally delivered tetracycline fibres are considered to exert tremendous benefits for its treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study was to observe the clinical results of locally delivered tetracycline fibres in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Materials and Methods: Patients aged 35-54 years diagnosed with chronic periodontitis of both gender fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. A sample size of 30 was calculated and total number of 60 posterior sites were selected. These sites were divided into two sets in a split mouth design as control sites treated with SRP alone and test sites treated with SRP plus tetracycline fibres.

Results: A combination of scaling, root planing and local drug delivery in the form of tetracycline fibres resulted in added benefits in the control of chronic periodontitis on the basis of the clinical findings from this study.

Conclusion: This study further adds to the evidence that tetracycline fibres as locally delivered agent are safe and effective adjunct to scaling and root planing, and can produce significant clinical benefits when compared to scaling and root planing alone in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

The purpose of this article is to present a case of a patient with dentogingival discrepancy and severe gummy smile, who was treated with gingivoplasty and application of botulinum toxin in order to optimise the harmony of the smile.
LOAD SHARING REGULATION OF A GRID-CONNECTED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM IN KARBALA CITY
Authors: Abdulrezak  Al-Anbarri Kassim , Jafer Mahdi Ali , Abdulreza Hameed Emad
Published: April 2019

Microgrid is an effective solution for increasing the reliability of power distribution system using renewable energy sources. In this research, a solar photovoltaic (PV) power system designed for extraction maximum power, i.e. 100kW (at standard conditions, 1000 W/m2 and 25oC) is simulated for grid utilities. For extraction maximum power, the duty ratio of a DC-DC converter is adjusting based on the specific value of maximum power point (MPP) voltage of the PV array. Thus, the DC voltage of the inverter side is kept constant to meet the grid specifications, e.g. 400V and 50Hz. The PV array is modelled by nonlinear equations which describe the effect of real irradiance levels (for Karbala city) on DC voltage. The PV power system is designed in an actual location in Karbala city for supplying a three-phase load, e.g. about 62 kW. Due to the fluctuations in solar irradiance, a load sharing between the PV power system and the grid is controlled. The load sharing is verified numerically by the Newton-Raphson method for a three-bus ring distribution system. Numerical and simulation results show the capability of the designed PV power system to share the load with grid over the year.
THE EFFECT OF BIAXIAL STATIC LOADS ON CRACK BEHAVIOR IN DIFFERENT COMPOSITE MATERIAL SAMPLES
Authors: Sabah Al-Ameen Ehsan
Published: April 2019

The study of crack propagation and crack behavior in composite materials is an important issue in fracture mechanics. Compact Tension (CT) specimens are made from three different composite materials’ forms, fiberglass/polyester, Kevlar/polyester and Hybrid fiberglass/Kevlar/polyester. The specimens are exposed to uniaxial and biaxial static loads for open time. The crack path tracked until deviation from normal direction of crack occurred. It was remarkable that the effect of the biaxial load decreased the static load life of the fiberglass models about 20.7% and 13.5% for the Kevlar models and 9.8% for the Hybrid ones.

Ensuring reliable functioning of equipment and mechanisms by forming a machine-building cluster, which reduces the idle time as a result of the creation of flexible technological systems based on numerically controlled machine tools. The reliability of the functioning of production facilities created at the machine-building and processing enterprises is achieved not only by high-quality manufacturing, but also by the level of service, which is a continuous support of the working capacity of machines and mechanisms, based on the timely provision of spare parts and repair and maintenance products.Aim and tasks The purpose of the article is to search for innovative model of repair production, based on ensuring its flexibility through adaptive reconfiguration of technological equipment, focused on supporting the life cycle of the main production. Development of high-performance technologies, aimed at achieving advantages in the selected sectors of the economy.Research results. The conceptualization of the maintenance of the machine-repair function in the structure of the reconfigurable multi-cluster cluster, formed on the innovation platform of the machine-assembly shop on the basis of mobile intelligent machines with kinematics of a parallel structure, was realized. The gamma (dimensional series) of elements of the reconfigurable manufacturing system on the basis of mobile machines with parallel kinematics and intelligent control systems, which allows maintenance of a machine-repair cluster on the basis of reconfigurable productions, is developed. The proposed concept can be offered as a market product in the form of a gamut of mobile machines with intelligent control for different productions. The concept of reconfigurable multi-nomenclature production, based on a fundamentally new approach to layout, in particular, a mechanic-assembly shop of competitive production with the use of mobile intelligent machines with kinematics of a parallel structure, has been formed. The method of position identification, kinematic and dynamic parameters of mechanisms with the parallel kinematics structure, of which mobile machines are composed, is developed.Conclusions. The proposed ideology of the formation of the production structure of the cluster will ensure the consolidation of all types of capital: production, labor, financial, social and create conditions for the synergistic effect as a result of constructive interaction in the process of functioning of the BRMK.
Cognitive performance in patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation
Authors: de Souza Coelho Daniela , Fernandes de Oliveira Santos Bruno , Silva da Costa Marcos Devanir , Silva Gisele Sampaio , Cavalheiro Sergio , Santos Flávia H. , Chaddad-Neto Feres
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

A cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM) can change over time and cause symptoms, but clinical studies tend to define only the patients with ruptured cAVMs as symptomatic and do not consider neurocognitive aspects prior to neurosurgical intervention. The objective of this study was to describe the neurocognitive function of patients with ruptured and unruptured cAVMs according to the Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade, flow status, and anatomical topography.

METHODS

In this blinded cross-sectional study, 70 patients of both sexes and ages 18–60 years were evaluated using the Brazilian Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Battery Neupsilin.

RESULTS

Of the 70 patients with cAVMs, 50 (71.4%) demonstrated deficits in at least one of the eight neurocognitive domains surveyed, although they did not exhibit neurological deficits. cAVMs in the temporal lobe were associated with memory deficits compared with the general population. The SM grade was not significantly associated with the results of patients with unruptured cAVMs. However, among patients with ruptured cAVMs, there were deficits in working memory in those with high-grade (SM grade) cAVMs and deficits in executive function (verbal fluency) in those with low-grade cAVMs (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

This study indicates that patients with untreated cAVMs, either ruptured or unruptured, already exhibit neurocognitive deficits, even the patients without other neurological symptoms. However, the scales used to evaluate disability in the main clinical studies, such as A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (ARUBA), do not assess neurocognitive alterations and therefore disregard any deficits that may affect quality of life. The authors’ finding raises an important question about the effects of interventional treatment because it reinforces the hypothesis that cognitive alterations may be preexisting and not determined by interventions.
Introduction of intraoperative neuromonitoring does not necessarily improve overall long-term outcome in elective aneurysm clipping
Authors: Greve Tobias , Stoecklein Veit M. , Dorn Franziska , Laskowski Sophia , Thon Niklas , Tonn Jörg-Christian , Schichor Christian
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM), particularly of somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) and motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), evolved as standard of care in a variety of neurosurgical procedures. Case series report a positive impact of IOM for elective microsurgical clipping of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (ECUIA), whereas systematic evaluation of its predictive value is lacking. Therefore, the authors analyzed the neurological outcome of patients undergoing ECUIA before and after IOM introduction to this procedure.

METHODS

The dates of inclusion in the study were 2007–2014. In this period, ECUIA procedures before (n = 136, NIOM-group; 2007–2010) and after introduction of IOM (n = 138, IOM-group; 2011–2014) were included. The cutoff value for SSEP/MEP abnormality was chosen as an amplitude reduction ≥ 50%. SSEP/MEP changes were correlated with neurological outcome. IOM-undetectable deficits (bulbar, vision, ataxia) were not included in risk stratification.

RESULTS

There was no significant difference in sex distribution, follow-up period, subarachnoid hemorrhage risk factors, aneurysm diameter, complexity, and location. Age was higher in the IOM-group (57 vs 54 years, p = 0.012). In the IOM group, there were 18 new postoperative deficits (13.0%, 5.8% permanent), 9 hemisyndromes, 2 comas, 4 bulbar symptoms, and 3 visual deficits. In the NIOM group there were 18 new deficits (13.2%; 7.3% permanent, including 7 hemisyndromes). The groups did not significantly differ in the number or nature of postoperative deficits, nor in their recovery rate. In the IOM group, SSEPs and MEPs were available in 99% of cases. Significant changes were noted in 18 cases, 4 of which exhibited postoperative hemisyndrome, and 1 suffered from prolonged comatose state (5 true-positive cases). Twelve patients showed no new detectable deficits (false positives), however 2 of these cases showed asymptomatic infarction. Five patients with new hemisyndrome and 1 comatose patient did not show significant SSEP/MEP alterations (false negatives). Overall sensitivity of SSEP/MEP monitoring was 45.5%, specificity 89.8%, positive predictive value 27.8%, and negative predictive value 95.0%.

CONCLUSIONS

The assumed positive impact of introducing SSEP/MEP monitoring on overall neurological outcome in ECUIA did not reach significance. This study suggests that from a medicolegal point of view, IOM is not stringently required in all neurovascular procedures. However, future studies should carefully address high-risk patients with complex procedures who might benefit more clearly from IOM than others.
L’Homme-toupie. Le vagabond comme figure de la subversion dans Le Ventre de Paris d’Émile Zola
Authors: Rachwalska von Rejchwald Jolanta
Published: April 2019

A vagrant Florent Quenu serves as a methaphor of social-political shift that strikes France in the late XIX-th century. Intimidated by the magnitude of change, upon his return Florent wanders the streets, meanders and strolls in circles which casts a horrendous contradiction with the austerity of Hausmann’s new Paris, aligned with omnipresent straight line forms. This geometrical collision of a straight line and a curve is symptomatic of ferocious conflict between the Second Empire and the alternative social model embodied in the Florent’s attitude.
L’éloge du vagabondage au XIXe siècle : une pensée minoritaire
Authors: Jeusette Julien
Published: April 2019

All along the nineteenth century in France, the vagabond becomes a main social and philosophical issue, for he is hunt down by scientists – vagrancy is conceived as a mental illness – and by jurists – different laws are created to criminalize the act. By establishing a link between this sudden obsession and the concern expressed by thinkers (Tocqueville, Comte, Bourget) that the society is dangerously blowing apart in separate individuals, this paper aims to analyze the manifestation of this conflict between society and vagabond in literature, among others Barrès’ Les Déracinés and Gide’s Nourritures terrestres.
« J’allais sous le ciel, Muse ! et j’étais ton féal ». Le vagabond dans la poésie française de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle
Authors: Varsimashvili-Raphael Maïa
Published: April 2019

Throughout history, vagrancy appears as one of the notions of the Human Condition. Its artistic and poetical representations are drawn from multiple sources and offer various models. The fantasy of vagrancy in French poetry in the second half of the Nineteenth Century is fashioned as much through the vagrant’s relationship with space as with Society. Its models spring from marginality and contestation. Spatial structure presents an opposition between « closed » and « open », « interior » and « exterior », and so forth... These separations fluctuate and interact mutually. The poet conjures, from any questing, marginal figure, his own image. The general tendency, from Hugo to Rimbaud, shows both a crushing of the poetical figure, transforming it into a magus or a prophet, and the proliferation of the accursed poet’s « negating anger ».
Le vagabondage moderne dans le théâtre de Henri-René Lenormand
Authors: Kaczmarek Tomasz
Published: April 2019

The motif of the wanderer is not new in the French theatre, but in the first half of the twentieth century due to the general crisis of values, some authors refer to it in order to display the plight of modern man. One of them is H.-R. Lenormand, an author not very well-known to a wider audience nowadays, who under the influence of Strindberg writes plays which refer to the expressionist aesthetics. He creates a lot of works in which he employs the technique of the station drama.. It is this form that allows him to focus on the evolution of the character and his metamorphosis. While in Les Ratés he shows buffoons heading for the brink of despair and finally their certain death, in L'Homme et ses Fantômes he focuses on the inner journey of the main character, who is looking for the reason for his suffering in his own soul.
Sur les traces du vagabond dans les textes beauvoiriens : exploration du monde et découverte de l’autre
Authors: Ledwina Anna
Published: April 2019

Simone de Beauvoir – a writer, journalist, and philosopher, a pioneer of modern feminism, a collaborator and life partner of Jean-Paul Sartre, was also a tireless traveller, who embarked on numerous journeys described in her autobiographical accounts and correspondence. The author of The Second Sex invariably seeks new sensations and is attracted to other people. Memories of visits to foreign countries are characterized by detailed descriptions and exploration of the world. Each destination is presented from the viewpoint of aesthetics, avoiding interactions with the local population. Over time, under the influence of her trips, Beauvoir becomes aware of the complexity of "the Other" and the need to support people and reject own isolation. Her writing becomes involved, subjective, and empathetic, reflecting growing interest in the problems of other people and sensitivity to social injustice and ideological issues. The shrewd observer searches for the meaning of life and her own "self". The universal dimension of the human condition appears to be far more important than individual experiences of the previously egocentric woman.
Du vagabondage à la sainteté – la quête de soi dans Becket ou l’honneur de Dieu de Jean Anouilh
Authors: Kucharuk Sylwia
Published: April 2019

At first glance, the protagonist of the play has none of the characteristics of a vagabond. However, subjected to a more thorough analysis, he proves to be endowed with many features typical of a wanderer, such as alienation, unrest, loneliness, social isolation and individualism. In the text he is described as a man who is « in the search for himself, » his exile is, first and foremost, a metaphysical search for his own « self » and for the meaning of life. He is also a character undergoing a metamorphosis – from a lecher he becomes a saint. The shift seems to come as a consequence of being an exile from his own country. This exile, however, in its literal dimension, becomes too heavy a burden for him, and, be rid of the burden, he chooses to die a martyr. This article presents the evolution of the personality and the shift in the social standing of the character, as well as the reasons for, and consequence of, his exile.

Published: April 2019

Using a simple narrative technique, Panaït Istrati is an excellent painter of the Balkans and, above all, he is the friendship seeker. Our study starts from an interrogation: What makes the main character, Adrien Zograffi, wander from one place to another? Is there his taste of adventure or any ideal? The two parts of the work describe several important moments from the volume The Youth of Adrien Zograffi, where Romanians, Greeks and other nations from a Romanian town near the Danube share their happiness and their sadness.
La légende du Juif errant dans La Mémoire d’Abraham de Marek Halter

Published: April 2019

In the very beginning of the 17th century appears a famous legend of the Wandering Jew named Ahasverus, who is characterised by some immutable features. Since then, the story has inspired various artists and despite the passage of time it keeps on arousing a great interest among both writers and readers. The main goal of the present study is to compare the collective protagonist from The Book of Abraham, a twentieth century novel by Marek Halter, to the legendary figure. Therefore, we present a vast and accurate picture of the interactions between the Jewish protagonists from Halter’s novel to the features typical of Ahasuerus.
En quête de soi, enquête sur soi. Représentations du vagabond dans Fuir (1988) de Linda Lê
Authors: Assier Julie
Published: April 2019

In Fuir, Linda Lê features two characters – a vagrant nicknamed “Le Japonais” and the narrator, exiled to an unnamed Asian country – that seem to be re-cognized for what they are : lonely beings in search of an alter ego. Their improbable than astonishing meeting marks the beginning of a wandering both geographical and mental; the reader follows through the streets, alleys, driveways, sidepaths, pedestrian streets of indeterminate city symbolizing the maze of life whose meaning is to be decoded. The figure of the vagabond reflects the obsessions and concerns of the writer on his anguish of living. It also crystallizes its founding and formative reading, including the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran and the Swedish writer Stig Dagerman who greatly influenced in the writing and the construction of her novel. Fuir is both a question about the absurdity of life and a metaphor for the condition of the exiled writer.
Jean-Pierre Camus : la moralisation d’un genre immoral est-elle possible ?
Authors: Pawłowska Maja
Published: April 2019

Camus complements his novels with long peritexts, thus using his ecclesiastic authority to legitimise their moral and didactic value. In these peritexts he juxtapposes the licentious novels with his own devout works of fiction, which are, in his own words, not only valuable and worth recommending, but also capable of saving the readers’ souls, put in danger by other texts. In any case, a close reading of these peritexts reveals a view which challenges the idea of the novel’s insidiousness and which bears witness to Camus’s great fascination with this officially condemned literary genre.
Comment le rapport au texte biblique transforme le rapport au texte littéraire au XVIIIe siècle : le cas Rousseau
Authors: Di Rosa Geneviève
Published: April 2019

In the 18th century, the Bible felt the full force of criticism by radical Enlightenment thinkers who read it piece by piece and denounced the process of its creation as an imposture – thus extending the break initiated by moral and historical critiques of the previous century. In doing so, they nevertheless failed to grant it the literary status of a “profane work”. Yet, Rousseau, who produced a literary rewriting of the Book of Judges with his Levite of Ephraim, pondered over the violence inflicted on biblical intertextuality during his exile in Môtiers: in his Letters Written from the Mountain, he compared it to the violence caused to his own literary works. By draw-ing this parallel, he opened a reflection on the different manners of reading a text, as well as the possibility of regulating the reader’s violence through proposing an ethics of literary reception. Analogy might not work as a substitute; however, it enabled Rousseau to go beyond the mistreatment which anti-philosophers or philosophers inflicted on his works, by giving, among other things, an autobiographical orienta-tion to his writing: one in which the author is ready to take responsibility for giving himself to the reader. The ambivalence of the sacred and the profane, the perception of a common essence of religion – defined either by sacrifice or gift – were thus what helped Rousseau invent the autobiographical pact.
La toile et le voile : l’art, la littérature et le sacré dans trois récits romantiques
Authors: Pinon Esther
Published: April 2019

The literature of the Romantics, in the first part of the 19th century, is steeped in religious doubt. Moreover, the sacred was a taboo yet unavoidable subject especially in novels and short stories that were considered at the time profane genres. Romantic writers exploited certain covert strategies in order to speak of the unspeak-able and touch the untouchable. They resort, for instance, to their artistic culture with its centuries of pictorial tradition that render religious figures and events more familiar and accessible. Musset’s Le Tableau d’église, Vigny’s Daphné, and Gauthier’s La Toison d’or, all bear witness to a striking (meeting) harmony between iconoclastic and/or cavalier characters and sacred works of art that focus on the Passion. All three writers interweave aesthetic contemplation with mystical communion, thus revealing a new sense of the sacred that is often ambiguous, nay, subversive. And since sacred art is not in itself sacred, it allows writers to come very close to sacrilege in order to examine the fine line between the profane and the sacred.
La désacralisation de l’église dans quelques romans des Rougon-Macquart
Authors: Kaczmarek Anna
Published: April 2019

Being agnostic and believing in science only, Emile Zola perceived churches as simple buildings, monuments to a dead religion that would certainly lose the battle against nature and science. The paper gives some examples of this vision in four novels, parts of the Rougon-Macquart cycle.
L’amour vu comme un « rite de passage » : la confrontation du sacrum et du profanum chez Marguerite Duras
Authors: Ledwina Anna
Published: April 2019

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Marguerite Duras’ works is her focus on contradictions, especially in the realm of physicality, which is part of the “dialectic of desire”, a nonverbal pleasure. In the analysed novels: The Sea Wall and The Lover this passion manifests itself through the “rite of passage”. It is a double discovery of one’s own and someone else’s physicality. Duras perceives love as an un-controllable, violent “experiment”, a rebellion against one’s mother and restrictions.Narrating one of the most important (and secret) episodes of her life – crossing the Mekong – the author depicts the sexual initiation of a young heroine (Duras’ alter ego), who seduces a mature man with her behaviour and dress. This experience al-lows her to experience the absolute and become initiated and free. For the narrator it is an opportunity for in-depth analysis of the secular and the sacred aspects of desire. To fully understand the sacred and the profane in Duras’ works, it seems necessary to approach the phenomenon from an interdisciplinary perspective.

BİR OLUKLU MUKAVVA KUTU FABRİKASINDA STANDART BOBİN ENLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ
Authors: SARAÇ Tuğba , SAĞIR Müjgan
Published: April 2019

Kağıt sektöründe kesme
problemleri pek çok çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Kutu üretiminde farklı boyutlara
sahip kutular farklı ebatlarda bobinlerin kesilmesi ile elde edilebilirler. Bu
tip problemlerde amaçlanan genellikle kesme sonrası fireyi en azlamaktır. Kesme
problemlerini konu alan çalışmaların çoğunda standart bobin enlerinin bilindiği
varsayılmaktadır ve eniyi kesme planı kombinasyonunun belirlenmesi problemi
çözülmektedir. Ancak çözümün etkinliği büyük ölçüde ana malzeme boyutlarına
dayanmaktadır. Farklı boyutlarda bobin bulundurmak, fireyi azaltırken stok
maliyetlerini de artırmaktadır. Bu tür problemlerin karakteristikleri, kesme
probleminin boyutuna göre de farklılaşabilmektedir.

 

Bu çalışmada, oluklu mukavva
üreten bir fabrikada toplam fireyi ve standart bobin eni çeşitliliğini azaltmak
amacıyla, 1.5 boyutlu kesme problemlerinde standart bobin eni seçimi problemi
ele alınmış, problem iki aşamalı bir yöntem kullanılarak çözülmüştür. İlk
aşamada sayımlama yöntemiyle, kısıtları sağlayan kesme planları türetilmiş,
ikinci aşamada ise geliştirilen bir matematiksel model yardımıyla stokta
bulunması gereken bobin enlerine karar verilmiştir. Geliştirilen matematiksel
model ile eniyi çözüm bulunmuş, ayrıca problem, elde bulundurulacak stok
enlerine üst sınırlar verilerek çözdürüldüğünde de çok daha düşük fire
oranlarına ulaşılabilmiştir.
Adjectives in layers
Authors: Pereltsvaig А. , Kagan O.
Published: April 2019

This paper investigates the syntax and semantics of modifying/attributive adjectives in Russian, a language lacking articles but having complex patterns of case marking and agreement within a noun phrase. It has been claimed in the literature that due to its lack of articles, Russian has a completely different internal structure for noun phrases than in languages with articles. In this paper we argue against that claim and propose that there are six layers of functional structure within a noun phrase which modifying adjectives can occupy.
Computer methods of analysis of phenetic characters and their application in taxonomy of annual astragali

Published: April 2019

One of the methods of modern taxonomy is computerized data systematization and analysis. The development and application of original computer-aided analysis of the taxonomic significance of the phenetic characters of 33 species of annual milkvetches found on the territory of the former USSR allowed solving a number of taxonomic problems and moving closer to understanding the phylogeny of some groups, and developing approaches to formalizing the phenetic characters. In the course of the research, some assistive technologies were also tried, designed to reduce the subjectivity of taxonomic research and improve the adequacy of the data obtained. The result was a multi-input diagnostic key, as well as an illustrated database – an atlas for the considered taxonomic group, in which all species were described by 72 rows of characters combined into 9 groups: plant biomorphology, shoot, stem, leaf, leaflet, inflorescence, flower, fruit and seeds. The database reproduces images of a large number of samples from considered taxonomic group, including the type samples stored in the herbarium collections of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE). The studies are monographic in nature – a summary of annual milkvetches in the territory of the former USSR is created, clarifying information about their distribution, ecology and morphology.

Authors: Le Thuy Chung Kieu , Thi San Ha Phan , Minh Son Le
Published: April 2019

Located in a flat plain with an extensive covering of very soft clay, Ho Chi Minh city is still in its urbanization and urban expansion with an inevitable development in construction at rapid pace. SHANSEP parameters for soft clay in HCM City will be helpful for geotechnical engineers in quantifying the behavior of soft clay and proposing suitable solutions for soft ground improvement. This paper presents the results of 100 CIUC triaxial tests on 20 clay samples belonging to two different groups of soft clay (taken in Binh Thanh and Nha Be districts) tested with 5 different modes of OCRs, i.e. 1, 1.5, 2, 4, and 6. The test results are analyzed to obtain SHANSEP models with really high coefficient of determination (R2 ≈ 1).

Constructed wetland is a low cost, effective technology and it is still in the state of improvement to enhance the treatment efficiency, especially in nutrient and trace elements treatment. This study investigated the effect of aerobic and anoxic conditions in Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland (HSFCW) on nutrient, organic, metal and Octylphenol - OP (Endocrine disrupting chemical) treatment. Two HSFCWs were constructed: HSFCW1 with three aerobic compartments; HSFCW2 with two aerobic compartments, one anoxic compartment. The two HSFCWs had the same design parameters (fiters, plants), except oxygen conditions. The results showed that aerobic and anoxic HSFCW may increase the efficiency of Nitrogen removal by 10%, but decreased by 11% in the efficiency of OP treatment (one of the EDCs). The efficiency of treatment of pollutants, including NH4+-N, COD, TP, Mn, Fe, Al and Cu between two HSFCWs were not significantly different; the average efficiency was 99%, 84%, 97%, 96%, 96%, 72% and 73%, respectively. Therefore, the anoxic compartment of HSFCW still provided the effective removal of organic matter, Manuscript received September 29th, 2017; accepted 24th December, 2017 This study was funded by CARE RESCIF under grant number Tc-TTC-2017-05.
