Post-ride inflammatory markers in endurance horses
Authors: Siqueira Renata Farinelli de , Fernandes Wilson Roberto
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT: The acute phase reaction occurs in response to diseases, surgical trauma and can happen after strenuous exercise, like long distance events. This study aimed to evaluate the Serum Amyloid A (SAA), pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL-1β and TNFα) and creatine phosphokinase (CK) after free speed races like physical stress markers in endurance horses. Blood of 21 trained horses that competed in tests of 80, 120 and 160km, was taken before and after race. There was a significant increase in CK and SAA after the race in all horses, as well as the anti-inflammatory interleukin IL-10. But when results were compared between the groups, only the SAA was different, being higher in 160km horses. There was no change in pro-inflammatory interleukins IL-1β and TNFα before and after the event; however, the TNFα was higher in 160km horses after the race. Based on data obtained in this study it was concluded that stress is more dependent on the distance than speed imposed and that SAA is a good marker of physical effort, since it is accompanied by other markers well established as CK. Interleukins are not a good markers since they did not change significantly.

Published: May 2016

Resumo A União Pontual por Fricção (FSpJ) é uma técnica inovadora para união de estruturas híbridas metal-polímero e baseia-se na geração de calor por fricção. Juntas de alumínio 2024-T3 e compósito laminado de poli(sulfeto de fenileno) com fibra de carbono (CF-PPS) foram produzidas com filme intermediário de PPS. Duas espessuras de filme foram investigadas: 100 e 500 µm. Ensaios de cisalhamento sob tração demonstraram que as juntas com filmes de 100 µm são mais resistentes (2093 ± 180 N) em relação às juntas com filme de 500 µm (708 ± 69 N). Adicionalmente, as superfícies de fratura das juntas revelaram áreas de união maiores para as juntas com filmes de 100 µm (53 ± 2 contra 40 ± 1 mm2). Para o filme mais fino, a extensão do amolecimento devido ao calor friccional é maior. Consequentemente, a baixa viscosidade atingida com a fusão do polímero favorece a molhabilidade das superfícies dos componentes da junta pelo PPS amolecido, resultando em melhor adesão entre as partes. Ademais, análises microestruturais demonstraram que a formação do cerne metálico e a interdifusão das moléculas de PPS entre compósito e filme também são favorecidas. Portanto, concluiu-se que a adição do filme mais fino produziu juntas mais resistentes.
Trinta anos de enfrentamento à epidemia da Aids no Brasil, 1985-2015
Authors: Greco Dirceu Bartolomeu
Published: May 2016

Resumo A resposta brasileira à Aids foi iniciada em 1985, quando o estado brasileiro, a sociedade civil e a academia se associaram com objetivos comuns. Esta se fortaleceu com a criação do SUS em 1988, imprescindível para implementar o programa nacional de Controle das DST/AIDS, baseado nos direitos humanos, visando equidade, inclusão, integralidade e contra o preconceito e a discriminação. O Brasil foi dos primeiros a disponibilizar, já em 1996, na saúde pública, tratamento adequado para todas as PVHA. O artigo descreve os êxitos e os indesculpáveis retrocessos destes 30 primeiros anos e as perspectivas para o controle e eventual eliminação da aids. Pode-se afirmar que há condições para eliminar o preconceito, a discriminação e diminuir a disparidade, pano de fundo para a disseminação da AIDS e de outras epidemias. Estão disponíveis instrumentos para tratar adequadamente as PVHA, para eliminar a transmissão do HIV e proteger os direitos de todos. Entretanto, para que isso aconteça, é necessária a ampliação do acesso à educação, incluindo educação sexual, e cuidados de saúde de qualidade. Necessário ainda o enfrentamento diuturno do conservadorismo e de toda violência e discriminação contra pessoas em risco ou vivendo com HIV. A experiência brasileira nestes 30 anos é inestimável alavanca para alcançar o fim da epidemia.
As Estratégias da Saúde da Família no enfrentamento das violências envolvendo adolescentes
Authors: Vieira Netto Moysés Francisco , Deslandes Suely Ferreira
Published: May 2016

Resumo A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) apresenta reconhecido potencial para a promoção da saúde e a prevenção das violências. Trata-se de revisão bibliográfica integrativa com o objetivo de avaliar a atuação dos profissionais da ESF no enfrentamento e prevenção das violências envolvendo adolescentes. O acervo foi de 17 dissertações e 2 teses da área da saúde, entre 1994 e 2014, e evidencia que são recentes os estudos sobre o tema. Os profissionais reconhecem a vulnerabilidade do adolescente para praticar e sofrer violências, entretanto a ESF mostra-se pouco atuante no enfrentamento e prevenção das mesmas. O predomínio do modelo médico técnico assistencial, as deficiências do ensino de Saúde Coletiva na formação dos profissionais e a falta de respaldo institucional são apontados como entraves. Muitos desses profissionais desconhecem a ficha de notificação das violências. A violência familiar e a de grupos criminosos foram as mais citadas como presentes nos territórios. Verifica-se a reprodução da representação social do adolescente como “problemático” e a ausência de ações da ESF que promovam o protagonismo juvenil e o seu empoderamento.

Published: May 2016

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar a descentralização da gestão em saúde para o ente municipal e suas implicações para o acesso e a atenção integral ao usuário. Por meio de “scoping review” encontrou-se 1.902 referências. Submetidas aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, por juízes, selecionou-se e mapeou-se 27 artigos. Do mapeamento resultaram os temas: o que foi possível consolidar com o processo; nós críticos para trilhar o caminho e perspectivas para a descentralização. Verificou-se: ampliação do acesso à atenção básica com aumento do número de profissionais e de equipes de Saúde da Família; planejamento, avaliação e intersetorialidade foram tidos como problemáticos; instrumentos de planejamento e gestão são limitados, e os municípios encontram dificuldades na referência para a atenção de média e alta complexidade. O financiamento ainda é uma barreira para o avanço da descentralização, poucos estudos analisaram a garantia de acesso para média e alta complexidade e estudos que retratem a realidade dos municípios de pequeno porte são necessários. Vários desafios foram apontados como a necessidade de efetivação do processo de regionalização, gestão compartilhada e de rede interfederativa que garanta acesso e atenção integral à saúde.
First record of Pseudoryzomys simplex (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) in a flooded area of the Pantanal, Brazil
Authors: Wolf R. W. , Rossi R. V. , Aragona M. , Aguiar D. M.
Published: May 2016

Abstract Pseudoryzomys simplex is a small to medium sized terrestrial rodent confined to lowland open areas with strong seasonal rainfall throughout the Chaco, Cerrado and Caatinga. Despite its extensive range, the species is difficult to trap. In this report we provide the first record of P. simplex in the Pantanal, where three specimens were collected in a pasture of exotic grass. The specimens are morpometrically similar to the population from Paraguay (Chaco). In this sense, our report shows how interesting a taxonomic review of the species would be to better understand the real significance of the geographic variation herein observed.

Authors: Negreiros Caio Cesar Leite de , Berigo Marina Guareschi , Dominoni Robson Luiz , Vargas Deisi Maria
Published: May 2016

Summary Objective: Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) is a test technique that can be used to detect asymptomatic vertebral fractures (AVF). It uses dual energy X-ray bsorptiometry (DXA) and can be performed concurrently with bone densitometry. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AVF in patients with low bone mass. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 135 individuals with low bone mineral density (BMD) with a T-score < -2.0 standard deviation (SD) in a densitometry clinic located in the city of Blumenau (state of Santa Catarina). Anthropometric, clinical and lifestyle variables were obtained from history-taking and physical examination. Densitometric variables were obtained by bone mineral densitometry and VFA (Explorer, Hollogic®). Vertebral fractures were classified according to the Genant criteria. Student's t, chi-square and logistic regression were performed for statistical analysis. Results: AVFs occurred in 24.4% of the subjects. They were older compared to those without AVF (65±9.25 versus 60.1±8.66; p=0.005), and had a history of lowimpact fractures (38.24% versus 19.8%; OR 2.5; p=0.03). Half of the patients that reported steroid therapy had AVFs, compared to one fifth of those who did not use steroids (50% versus 21.49%; OR 3.6; p=0.01). Conclusion: Asymptomatic vertebral fractures were present in approximately one fourth of patients. The risk factors associated were history of low-impact fracture, use of steroids and age > 61 years.

Authors: França Vera V. , Souza Fabíola
Published: May 2016

Resumo Este texto apresenta uma leitura do programa televisivo Troca de Família, apresentado pela Rede Record. Sua análise nos incita a rever as características dos reality shows, inserindo-os na dinâmica mais ampla dos valores e dos embates sociais e no quadro da cultura. Por meio da análise de uma troca, propomos investigar o modo como as mães se inserem no novo lar e as relações estabelecidas por elas nas novas famílias. À luz do conceito de performance, e tendo desenvolvido uma grade analítica a partir dos acontecimentos fixos e centrais do programa, deparamo-nos com a convivência conflituosa entre dois modelos de família bastante distintos. No desenrolar da relação, mais do que o papel da mãe, atuaram os modelos culturais que instruíam a performance dos participantes e ressaltaram suas diferenças e contradições.

Published: May 2016

Resumo Em meio a divergências conceituais acerca das classes de matérias produzidas regularmente pela imprensa, o texto objetiva propor um modelo classificatório para melhor entendimento da questão, arraigado em perspectiva comunicacional e atento aos rituais peculiares ao Jornalismo. Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica, tomada como recurso metodológico, e considerando o resultado de investigações empíricas realizadas, sistematicamente, durante vários anos, defende-se, aqui, que as mensagens jornalísticas devam ser compreendidas a partir de sua subdivisão em dois estágios: os gêneros e os formatos a eles submetidos. Sinalizando esses particulares, busca-se organizar os parâmetros que norteiam uma das classificações mais adotadas no Brasil, evitando apreciações distorcidas.

Authors: Fortes Leonardo de Sousa , Almeida Sebastião de Sousa , Ferreira Maria Elisa Caputo
Published: May 2016

Abstract There is no specific psychometric scale that addresses disordered eating among Brazilian athletes. This study's aim was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Disordered Eating in Sports Scale (DES) among Brazilian athletes. A total of 1,338 athletes, both sexes,from various sports participated in the study; 141 were excluded. The DES and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) were used to assess disordered eating among the study participants. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a factor structure that explains more than 40% of the scale's variance. Thefinal version's items presented factors loadings greater than .3. The Pearson correlation showed a statistically significant relationship between the DES and EAT-26 subscales. No differences were found in the mean scores of DES in an interval of two weeks. The findings indicate differences in DES scores due to body adiposity. The conclusion is that DES showed satisfactory concurrent and discriminant validity and reproducibility.

Published: May 2016

Abstract Caring for someone, even when this person is highly regarded, can be stressful, resulting in a decrease in the caregiver's quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify the main conflicts involved in the task of caring for an elderly relative, reported by caregivers, elderly care-recipients and professionals in the field of aging, and to identify social skills (SS) considered as being important to accomplish this task, helping to minimize the conflicts in this context. We interviewed 50 caregivers of the elderly, 25 elderly care-recipients, and 25 professionals in the field of aging, who answered questions about conflicts linked to this context and about SS that are important when taking care of an elderly person. The main conflicts involved difficulties to reconcile differences of opinion, or financial issues. The SSs considered most useful included: expressing positive feelings, controlling aggressiveness, and discussing problems. It will be important to verify if caregivers who develop their SS repertoire also improve their quality of life.

Published: May 2016

Objective: To determine the prevalence of smoking experimentation among adolescents with asthma or allergic rhinitis. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving adolescent students (13-14 years of age) in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The participants completed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaires, both of which have been validated for use in Brazil. We calculated the prevalence of smoking experimentation in the sample as a whole, among the students with asthma symptoms, and among the students with allergic rhinitis symptoms, as well as in subgroups according to gender and age at smoking experimentation. Results: The sample comprised 3,325 adolescent students. No statistically significant differences were found regarding gender or age. In the sample as a whole, the prevalence of smoking experimentation was 9.6%. The mean age for smoking experimentation for the first time was 11.1 years of age (range, 5-14 years). Among the adolescents with asthma symptoms and among those with allergic rhinitis symptoms, the prevalence of self-reported smoking experimentation was 13.5% and 10.6%, respectively. Conclusions: The proportion of adolescents with symptoms of asthma or allergic rhinitis who reported smoking experimentation is a cause for concern, because there is strong evidence that active smoking is a risk factor for the occurrence and increased severity of allergic diseases.

An Eco-feminist Reading of Love Medicine
Authors: Bo Ting
Published: May 2016

Louise Erdrich is one of the most prolific, important and successful contemporary native American writers. Love Medicine is her representative work. And it represents the lives of Chippewa Indians in reservation. This paper aims to analyze traditional Indian women’s relationship with nature from the perspective of eco-feminism. Both the Indian women and the living environment in reservation are persecuted by the patriarchy and they are deprived of voice. In men’s eyes, women and the nature are just something inferior and attached to them. However, the Indian women don’t yield. They unite together and make the best use of their close relationship with nature, rebuilding the harmony between men and women, man and nature, thus gaining more freedom and power and elevating their social status.

Authors: Li Xiaqing
Published: May 2016

Appraisal theory is a new development of the interpersonal meaning in systematic functional linguistics. In recent years, the appraisal theory has been widely used in different genres to study whether and how slightly different appraisal methods are used in them. However, analysis of English song discourse with the appraisal theory is rare. Therefore, based on the attitude meaning in the appraisal theory the author analyzes several English song discourses. Through analysis of characteristics of the distribution of attitude resources in the English discourse it aims to find language feature in the English song discourse so as to make readers understand the emotion expressed by the author of the song discourse and the importance of the attitude meaning of the appraisal theory in building interpersonal relations between the author of the song discourse and readers.
Investigating Nonliterary Translation Shifts by Concentrating on United Nations Texts Using Pekkanen’s (2010) Model
Authors: Golshan Seyed Ehsan , Fumani Mohammad Reza Falahati Qadimi
Published: May 2016

Translation shift especially within UN texts is a new area of interest in the field of translation studies. The concept uses linguistic translation as a tool or metaphor in analyzing the nature of transformation and interchange in the political text. The main objective of the present study was to study translation shifts in non-literary texts – those from the UN documents. The study intended to compare strategy application in translation of shifts by Pekkanen (2010), extracted from three UN documents, between two English-Persian dictionaries (one by Khiyabani (2013) and the other one by Aryanpoor (2006)). The contraction strategy was the most frequent strategy applied by Khiyabani (85 times, 56.7%) and the least frequent strategy was shift in order (11 times, 7.3%). The expansion strategy was the most frequent strategy applied by Aryanpoor (66 times, 44%) and the least frequent strategy was shift in order (6 times, 4%). The findings of the present study were in line with those reported by Pekkanen (2010). The two translators were not significantly different with regard to application of miscellaneous and shift in order strategies and were significantly different with regard to application of contraction and expansion strategies. The results obtained in this thesis could in general be useful for students of translation, instructors and university professors, syllabus designers, freelancers, book compilers and all those who are involved in one way or another in translation issues.
A Qualitative Study of Iranian EFL University Teachers’ Attitude towards Professional Development
Authors: Saberi Leila , Amiri Farzaneh
Published: May 2016

Within the past few years, teachers have no longer been conceived as mere transmitters of knowledge. The image of the teacher as the exclusive holder of all the information related to teaching and learning has changed dramatically. It the new context, teachers are supposed to act as transformative agents who pay attention to new aspects of their profession in the process of developing professionally as individuals. In other words, the concept of teachers’ professional development (PD) has been recently viewed as a continuous process focusing on planned and systematic activities designed to trigger and enhance their growth. The current status of professional development in Iran, however, is not satisfactory. Summarizing the findings of the interview with the small group of English university teachers, this study attempted to find out the attitudes of participants to PD and discuss the constraints they faced on their way towards PD. Results indicated that a number of impeding factors have influenced the effective implementation of PD policies which need a reoriented and revitalized perspective to make them more compatible with new requirements of the present context.
Investigation into and Analysis on Middle School English Teachers’ Competencies
Authors: Zhao Wanli , Zhang Hongrui
Published: May 2016

For teachers’ competence, there is no uniform standard in domestic and foreign academic circles. Foreign scholars think that the personality of the teacher can do the performance of competence while domestic scholars believe that the professional values of the teachers, that is, personal qualities, professional ethics can be competent. The domestic and foreign scholars all agree that: the definition of teachers' competence should include the professional knowledge and professional skills related to the implementation of the successful teaching. Through questionnaire survey and interview, this paper makes a research on English teachers’ conception and language skills---the core competency of middle school English teachers in Shaanxi Province. It is found that there are some disparities of English teachers’ conception and language skills from the requirements of the new curriculum standards. Based on the reason analysis of disparities, the following suggestions are put forward: study the new curriculum standards seriously, strengthen the studies on education and teaching theories, strengthen the guidance on teaching practice and encourage the teachers to reflect on their teaching methods.
O Direito à Privacidade e o Direito à Informação: A Divulgação dos Vencimentos dos Servidores Públicos na Internet
Authors: Costa Deborah Regina Lambach Ferreira da
Published: May 2016

O presente artigo pretende discutir a constitucionalidade das leis que autorizam a divulgação dos salários dos servidores públicos na internet. A justificativa legal para disponibilizar dados do funcionalismo, como nome, cargo, função e vencimento, é a de que a publicidade dos atos da administração pública é corolário dos princípios da moralidade, da ética e da transparência, estampados no caput do artigo 37 da Constituição Federal de 1988 e, em especial, atendem ao interesse público. Assim, o debate está em saber como conciliar o direito à informação, garantido constitucionalmente ao cidadão no artigo 5o inciso XXXIII, com o direito à privacidade do funcionário, que vê a sua vida devassada. A temática foca na discussão de se a publicação pelo governo dos dados dos servidores públicos na internet, seus nomes e vencimentos ofende ou não a intimidade e vida privada destes.

Acciones de oro y patriotismo económico: enfoque nacional, desarrollo europeo
Authors: Houet Jérémie
Published: May 2016

El mecanismo de las acciones de oro permite a los Estados miembros a retener algún control sobre las empresas nacionales que operan en sectores estratégicos. A pesar de que está estrictamente controlada tanto por la Comisión y la Corte, la crisis actual pone este dispositivo al primer plano. Los Estados miembros son propensos a reapropiarse por medio de desviados recursos. Sus intentos revelan un malestar más profundo; el miedo a las inversiones extranjeras en esos sectores. Esto plantea la cuestión de la oportunidad de un mecanismo común para supervisar estas inversiones extranjeras. Por lo tanto, la respuesta a la crisis debe superar el nivel nacional para situarse a escala europea. ¿Podría el patriotismo económico entonces ser supranacional?

Decisões curriculares e participação
Authors: Reginato Maria José , Chieffi Meyri Venci
Published: May 2016

A escola cumpre sua função social por meio do currículo, compreendido como o conjunto de conhecimentos e experiências de aprendizagens, oferecido aos estudantes, que abrange os conteúdos a serem contemplados mais a forma de desenvolvê-los. O artigo aborda os espaços de participação possíveis da sociedade organizada, particularmente daqueles envolvidos com a educação pública, na tomada de decisões curriculares, exteriores à escola, ou as que ocorrem no seu interior. Aponta duas lógicas de construção do currículo seguidas pelos sistemas de ensino: a clássica, mais frequente, que se movimenta do centro para as bases, e a participativa, no sentido oposto, das bases para o centro. Ressalta a importância política e pedagógica da opção pela segunda lógica, particularmente neste momento da história brasileira, em que a educação pública de qualidade está na pauta, implicando colocar o currículo em debate.

Published: May 2016

O presente artigo tem como propósito destacar as contribuições de um curso de formação continuada para a prática pedagógica de professoras ao ensinar frações a alunos dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. A formação desenvolveu-se no contexto do Observatório da Educação com um grupo de docentes da rede estadual de São Paulo. A investigação, de natureza qualitativa, realizou-se em três fases: aplicação de questionários preliminares, intervenção, entrevista e observação de aula. Apresenta-se, aqui, a análise relativa às aulas ministradas por três participantes do curso um ano após o término da formação. Observou-se que houve mudanças no modo como as docentes passaram a abordar o conteúdo, no que se refere à exploração de ideias relativas ao significado de quociente, a partir de situações parte-todo, estabelecendo relações importantes entre os dois significados discutidos. Concluiu-se que a formação contribuiu significativamente para a (re)construção dos conhecimentos acerca desse conceito pelas professoras investigadas.

Published: May 2016

Apresentar aspectos da pesquisa realizada com 40 professores de geografia e história, que atuam no ensino fundamental e médio, em escolas públicas e particulares, é o objetivo deste trabalho. A entrevista é uma atividade prática da disciplina de Psicologia do Desenvolvimento e da Aprendizagem, com a finalidade de articular os conhecimentos produzidos na universidade com aqueles construídos na escola (AZZI; SADALLA, 2002; SISTO; OLIVEIRA; FINI, 2000). Os 40 graduandos de geografia e história entrevistaram os professores, por meio de um questionário, com o intuito de conhecer e analisar como ocorre efetivamente a atuação em suas áreas de conhecimento e quais as contribuições da psicologia para a prática docente. Com base nos dados coletados podemos inferir que o diálogo entre o graduando e o professor em exercício é fundamental para subsidiar o processo de formação inicial.

 
Formação continuada como parte integrante da atividade docente: um olhar da perspectiva da cotidianidade
Authors: Altenfelder Anna Helena
Published: May 2016

Este artigo pretende contribuir para a reflexão sobre as condições de trabalho do professor brasileiro. Num primeiro momento são apontados aspectos da precarização da atividade docente, entre eles a formação insatisfatória de muitos professores recém-formados, a carência de infraestrutura nas escolas e o excesso e a dispersão das demandas a que elas devem atender, muitas vezes sem qualquer ligação com o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Em seguida, discute-se como as formas de ser da cotidianidade podem se cristalizar na atividade docente, produzindo um estranhamento no professor em relação ao próprio trabalho e às suas competências profissionais. Nesse cenário, vemos a formação continuada descortinar a possibilidade de o professor ultrapassar alguns dos comportamentos cristalizados e alienados do cotidiano e encontrar formas mais integradas de pensar, sentir e agir.
Teaching Pragmatic Competence: A Journey from Teaching Cultural Facts to Teaching Cultural Awareness
Authors: Lenchuk Iryna , Ahmed Amer
Published: May 2016

Pragmatic competence is one of the essential competences taught in the second language classroom. The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CCLB, 2012a), the standard document referred to in any federally funded program of ESL teach- ing in Canada, acknowledges the importance of this competence, yet at the same time notes the limited resources available to help ESL teachers address it in the classroom. Informed by the theoretical construct of communicative competence and its application to second language learning, the article offers an exemplar of the whats and hows of teaching pragmatics in the ESL classroom. The article stresses the importance of making explicit to the learners the sociolinguistic and sociocultural variables that underlie native speakers’ linguistic choices. It is hoped that ESL learners will thus develop a better understanding of the reasons that make native speakers choose one linguistic expression rather than others when performing a certain linguistic act. The speech act of complimenting is used here as an exemplar.
Teaching Pragmatics and Intercultural Communication Online
Authors: Waugh Erin
Published: May 2016

English in the Workplace (EWP) programs are increasingly surfacing across Can- ada to assist internationally educated professionals (IEPs) with the challenges of integrating into the Canadian workplace. One critical topic of these courses is targeted pragmatics (soft skills) instruction. By learning these skills, IEPs gain valuable tools for communicating effectively and appropriately with their Cana- dian-born colleagues and leaders. The workplace is also becoming increasingly culturally diverse, broadening the required skillsets of IEPs to include intercultural competence—the ability to adapt both cognitively and behaviourally across cultures to achieve communicative goals (Bennett, 1993). As an EWP instructor in a medium-sized institution in Alberta, I worked on the redesign of an EWP course with both pragmatics and intercultural components to be offered online. The course results showed learner development in both pragmatics and intercul- tural competence. In this article, I outline the theory that informed the course design, content, and assessment tools; discuss results of a sample of learners from four pilot offerings; and provide considerations for instructors and instructional designers tasked with the development of online courses of this nature.
A Task-Based Language Teaching Approach to the Police Traffic Stop
Authors: O’Connell Stephen P.
Published: May 2016

One possible hurdle to implementing the Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) approach is uncertainty about how to turn target tasks into materials that can be used in the classroom. This article discusses the steps taken to create materials for one target task (communicating with a police officer during a traffic stop) in a manner that provides a framework for others who wish to create materials for target tasks to follow. Specifically, the discussion will focus on how information was obtained from domain experts (police officers) and how samples of target discourse were collected. It will then explain how that information was turned into prototypical dialogues, which then serve as the foundation for pedagogic tasks that can be used to help learners achieve the goal of communicating with police officers during traffic stops. By explaining how prototypical dialogues were developed for this target task, it is believed that some of the uncertainty about how to turn the theory of TBLT into something concrete for learners will be alleviated.Un élément qui pourrait constituer un obstacle à la mise en œuvre de l’enseignement des langues basé sur les tâches (ELBT) est l’incertitude quant à la façon de transformer les tâches cibles en matière utilisable dans la salle de classe. Cet article discute des démarches entreprises pour créer du matériel pour une tâche cible (communiquer avec un agent de police lors d’un contrôle routier), de sorte à fournir un cadre pour ceux et celles qui voudraient élaborer du matériel pour d’autres tâches cibles. Plus précisément, la discussion portera sur l’obtention d’informations d’experts du domaine (des agents de police) et sur la collecte d’échantillons de discours cibles. Suivra une explication sur la transformation de ces informations en dialogues prototypiques qui deviennent ensuite la base de tâches pédagogiques visant à aider les élèves à communiquer avec des agents de police pendant les contrôles routiers. En expliquant le développement de dialogues prototypiques pour cette tâche cible, nous croyons réduire une part de l’incertitude relative à la transformation de la théorie de l’ELBT en matière concrète pour les apprenants.

Commuting graph is a graph that has a set of points X and two different vertices to be connected directly if each commutative in G. Let G non abelian group and Z(G) is a center of G. Noncommuting graph is a graph which the the vertex is a set of G\Z(G) and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy≠yx. The vertex colouring of G is giving k colour at the vertex, two vertices that are adjacent not given the same colour. Edge colouring of G is two edges that have common vertex are coloured with different colour. The smallest number k so that a graph can be coloured by assigning k colours to the vertex and edge called chromatic number. In this article, it is available the general formula of chromatic number of commuting and noncommuting graph of dihedral group

Agglomerative hierarchical clustering methods is cluster analysis method whose primary purpose is to group objects based on its characteristics, it begins with the individual objects until the objects are fused into a single cluster. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering methods are divided into single linkage, complete linkage, average linkage, and ward. This research compared the four agglomerative hierarchical clustering methods in order to get the best cluster solution in the case of the classification of regencies/cities in East Java province based on the quality of “Keluarga Berencana” (KB) services. The results of this research showed that based on calculation of cophenetic correlation coefficient, the best cluster solution is produced by average linkage method. This method obtained four clusters with the different characteristics. Cluster 1 has an “extremely bad condition” on the qualification of KB clinics and the competence of KB service personnel. Cluster 2 has a “good condition” on the qualification of KB clinics and “bad condition” on the competence of KB service personnel. Cluster 3 has a “bad condition” on the qualification of KB clinics and “medium condition” on the competence of KB service personnel. Cluster 4 have a “medium condition” on the qualification of KB clinics and a “good condition” on the competence of KB service personnel

Sugeno method is one method of fuzzy inference system on fuzzy logic for decision making. In-Zero Order Sugeno method in fuzzy logic consists of four stages: 1. fuzzification. 2. The application functionality implications, the implication function used is function MIN (minimum). 3. The composition rule using the function MAX (maximum). 4. Defuzzification weight average. Based on case 1, each student with non-formal education and informal education by 12 by 19 has a value of 20.7 and a variable linguistic personality is MEDIUM. Suggestions for further research can use other parameters in determining the level of personality of students with fuzzy logic
Linking multidimensional functional diversity to quantitative methods: a graphical hypothesis‐evaluation framework

Functional trait analysis is an appealing approach to study differences among biological communities because traits determine species' responses to the environment and their impacts on ecosystem functioning. Despite a rapidly expanding quantitative literature, it remains challenging to conceptualize concurrent changes in multiple trait dimensions (“trait space”) and select quantitative functional diversity methods to test hypotheses prior to analysis. To address this need, we present a widely applicable framework for visualizing ecological phenomena in trait space to guide the selection, application, and interpretation of quantitative functional diversity methods. We describe five hypotheses that represent general patterns of responses to disturbance in functional community ecology and then apply a formal decision process to determine appropriate quantitative methods to test ecological hypotheses. As a part of this process, we devise a new statistical approach to test for functional turnover among communities. Our combination of hypotheses and metrics can be applied broadly to address ecological questions across a range of systems and study designs. We illustrate the framework with a case study of disturbance in freshwater communities. This hypothesis‐driven approach will increase the rigor and transparency of applied functional trait studies.
From individuals to population cycles: the role of extrinsic and intrinsic factors in rodent populations

Rodent population cycles have fascinated scientists for a long time. Among various hypotheses, an interaction of an extrinsic factor (predation) with intrinsic factors (e.g., sociality and dispersal) was suggested to lead to the generation of population cycles. Here, we tested this hypothesis with an individual‐based model fully parameterized with an exceptionally rich empirical database on vole life histories. We employed a full factorial design that included models with the following factors: predation only, predation and sociality, predation and dispersal, and predation and both sociality and dispersal. A comprehensive set of metrics was used to compare results of these four models with the long‐term population dynamics of natural vole populations. Only the full model, which included both intrinsic factors and predation, yielded cycle periods, amplitudes, and autumn population sizes closest to those observed in nature. Our approach allows to model, as emergent properties of individual life histories, the sort of nonlinear density‐ and phase‐dependence that is expected to destabilize population dynamics. We suggest that the individual‐based approach is useful for addressing the effects of other mechanisms on rodent populations that operate at finer temporal and spatial scales than have been explored with models so far.

The purpose of this dataset was to compile adult and offspring size estimates for marine organisms. Adult and offspring size estimates of 408 species were compiled from the literature covering >17 orders of magnitude in body mass and including Cephalopoda (ink fish), Cnidaria (“jelly” fish), Crustaceans, Ctenophora (comb jellies), Elasmobranchii (cartilaginous fish), Mammalia (mammals), Sagittoidea (arrow worms) and Teleost (i.e., Actinopterygii, bony fish). Individual size estimates were converted to standardized size estimates (carbon weight, g) to allow for among‐group comparisons. This required a number of size estimates to be converted and a compilation of conversion factors obtained from the literature are also presented.
