Authors: Singh Jyoti , Davessar Jai Lal , Prinja Sumit , Arora Nitin
Published: June 2017

Angiosarcomas are the malignant neoplasias of vascular phenotype whose constituent tumor cells have endothelial features. They account for less than 1% of all sinonasal tract malignancies. A case of 65 year old male with a 6 months history of spontaneous epistaxis and a nasal mass lesion presented to the OPD. On physical examination, a polypoidal purplish tumor of 6 × 5 cm was identified. A NCCT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses showed a nonenhanced tumor in the left nostril in maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinus. An excisional biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated angiosarcoma. Surgical removal of the lesion was advised which was refused by the patient.

Patient was put on the radiation therapy. Angiosarcoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare tumor. Recurrences are common due to incomplete excision or mutiflocality.

A retropharyngeal abscess is a suppurative collection of the deep spaces of the neck. Mostly at presentation they are massive and are a dilemma for the surgeon and the anesthetist alike, vying for space, one for therapeutic intervention and the other for airway access. Video laryngoscopic assisted evacuation of such a collection, adopting the nasopharyngeal and the transoral route was undertaken in a middle aged individual which is being reported.
Need for Cognition and Motivation Differentially Contribute to Student Performance
Authors: Neigel Alexis R. , Behairy Saif , Szalma James L.
Published: June 2017

The need for cognition and motivation are related to performance in school and standardized tests. In this study, 422 students completed a battery of individual difference measures and reported their scores on the American College Testing (ACT) exam, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), high school grade point average (GPA), major GPA, and overall college GPA. Need for cognition was positively related to ACT and SAT scores, respectively, but not GPA. Achievement motivation was positively correlated with high school GPA, major GPA, overall college GPA, ACT score, and SAT score. The results showed that need for cognition may be related to standardized testing performance, whereas motivation, particularly achievement motivation, is related to performance in the classroom and in the major. Our results indicate that the need for cognition is distinct from the enjoyment of thinking and motivation toward challenge.
At-Risk Students and the Role of Implicit Theories of Intelligence in Educational Professionals’ Actions
Authors: Tiekstra Marlous , Minnaert Alexander
Published: June 2017

Implicit theories of intelligence play a role in teacher’s actions. Adaptive instruction in and out of the classroom is important to optimize learning processes, especially in the case of at-risk students. This study explored to what extent implicit theories of intelligence play a role in the actions of educational professionals around at-risk students. Forty-four teachers and 57 support professionals participated in this research. Data were analyzed separately for teachers and support professionals. Thirty-four percent of the actions of the teacher can be explained by implicit theories. However, in denominational schools this is 61%. Structural equation modeling showed mediation effects of multiple belief factors in the actions of support professionals. Implicit theory of intelligence predicts the belief in IQ testing, which precedes the belief in consequential validity of tests (i.e., link to actions according to test outcomes). These results indicate a strong influence of implicit theories of intelligence in educational practice.

Authors: Torres Gustavo Rubens Castro , Houllou Laureen Michelle , De Souza Robson Antônio
Published: June 2017

The aim of this work was to test techniques to reduce microbial contamination in the phases of introduction and establishment of the in vitro cultivation of Bambusa vulgaris through two experiments. The first experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design using a factorial arrangement (pre-treatment of nodal segments using or not a solution of Derosal 500 SC® and Chloramphenicol × culture medium with half or full concentration of salts × culture medium with presence or absence of sucrose × culture medium with presence or absence of Plant Preservative MixtureTM). In a second experiment, carried out in a completely randomized design, the effect of different fungicides associated to Chloramphenicol in a liquid culture medium was tested. It was possible to verify that the isolated effects of the pre-treatment by immersion of the nodal segments in a solution of 4 mL L-1 of Derosal 500 SC® and 200 mg L-1 of Chloramphenicol for 30 minutes and explants placed in a sucrose-free medium reduced fungal contamination. In the second experiment, the treatment that reduced fungal contamination corresponded to explants placed for seven days in a liquid medium with half the concentration of salts, sucrose-free, with 2 mL L-1 of Plant Preservative MixtureTM and with 4 mL L-1 of  Derosal 500 SC® and 200 mg L-1 of Chloramphenicol.
Role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Teacher Education
Authors: Lastny Anal Ruwndar
Published: June 2017

We are in the era of information where technology plays an important role to transact the information to the needed individuals in the education system. With the implementation of two years B.Ed. Programme, based on the recommendations of the Justice Verma Commission (2012), there has been a paradigm shift from the teacher centred to student-centred in the training of student teachers. There needs a proper propagation of knowledge in education which is possible through communication. ICT is a part of non-verbal form of language which is very effective in communication with respect to educational context. To make the teaching learning effective the responsible teachers should adapt or have positive attitude towards the use of ICT in education system. This makes the teachers comfortable in his/her teaching and can best expect the effective outcomes among the learners. This theoretical paper discusses about the role of ICT in Teacher Education and better transaction of teaching learning process through the use of ICT.

Published: June 2017

The study compares the effects of family factors contributing to the High Academic Achievement of Private Residential School Children and Rural Government School Children. Children studying in selected private residential schools and rural government schools in IX and X classes with highest ranks (first 3-4 ranks) in the previous year were selected. Total sample comprised 240 children, 120 from each setting, 60 from IX class and 60 from X class. An Interview schedule was developed by the investigator for the children to know their perceptions about family contributing factors. The study concluded that children of Private Residential Schools and Rural Government Schools were average and similar in their perceptions regarding parental contributions for their Academic Achievement. High Parental Aspirations Expectations helped in high achievement in both groups but comparatively high in Private Residential School children. Whereas contribution of Siblings Relationship and Assistance of others was high in Rural Government School children and average in Private Residential School children. Coming to the gender and age variations in family contributing factors, there was significantly high parental contributions for Academic Achievement of boys than girls in private Residential schools and higher age group children of Rural Government schools have significantly more parental contribution for their Academic Achievement than lower age group children. Achievement in English was highly positively correlated with family’s Economic status in Private Residential schools. There was significant positive correlation between achievement in mathematics and parental contribution, achievement in science and Parental Aspirations in Rural Government School children.
An Evaluation Paradox: The Issues of Test Validity in the Realm of Writing Test as the Final School Examination in the Indonesian Senior High School Milieu
Authors: Imamyartha David , Sulistyo Gunadi Harry
Published: June 2017

Even though there are four English language skills in the Indonesia’s national curriculum at upper secondary schools, each of these skills is given an unequal emphasis since only reading and listening skills are formally tested in the national examination. Although writing competence possesses a particular stake as the determinant of students’ achievement after students undergo a three-year education at the upper secondary school level, it appears that the existing writing tests are low in terms of test validity, as demonstrated by a preliminary study. A further study is carried out to probe the issues of test validity by deploying the framework of test validity, which pertains to theory-based validity, context validity, scoring validity, criterion-related validity, and consequential validity in the scrutiny of the existing writing tests. It is revealed that the current writing tests are fraught with validity problems in all of these facets of test validity. This is corroborated by interview data in the preliminary study and the analysis of the existing writing tests. These particular issues obviously evoke an ambivalence between the exalted educational objectives in the national curricula and the edifice of English assessment. Based on the findings, several implications and directions rise for future praxis of writing assessment.
Logical Fallacies in EFL Learners' Argumentative Writings
Authors: El Khoiri Niamika , Widiati Utami
Published: June 2017

Logical fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of an argument. In argumentative writing, the presence of logical fallacies such fallacies shows either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. The purpose of the study is to identify and discuss logical fallacies in the argumentative writing of Indonesian EFL learners. 40 argumentative essays were collected from the students of the English Department of the State University of Malang who have passed all the writing courses, including the course on argumentative writing. The results of the study shows that students still produced a number of logical fallacies in their work, some of which were so basic they can actually be avoided through simple, explicit instruction. Some pedagogical implications of the findings are also discussed.
Chemical fingerprinting of saline water intrusion into sewage lines
Authors: Osman Ola , Aina Oluwajinmi Daniel , Ahmad Farrukh
Published: June 2017

High salinity in sewage sludge can affect not only the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) but also the quality of treated water generated, thereby limiting its downstream reuse. Using data on geochemical parameters, both for the central WWTP in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and literature values for potential regional saline water sources (e.g., shallow groundwater and regional Arabian Gulf seawater), a variety of chemical fingerprinting diagnostic ratios were calculated and plotted in order to determine the source of salinity in the municipal sewage. Data were compared with data from a regional WWTP that was not impacted by salinity. Monitoring data demonstrated persistently elevated levels of salinity in the municipal wastewater arriving at the central WWTP from the city. Dilution/concentration analysis using a conductivity vs. chloride plot showed both potential sources, i.e. Arabian Gulf seawater and coastal hypersaline groundwater, as feasible sources of wastewater salinization. Further diagnostic analysis using a Panno Plot indicated that coastal groundwater was the only likely source of salinization of municipal sewage. Additional confirmation of the identity of the source and the extent of mixing using different lines of evidence like stable isotope ratios is recommended for future study.

Natural Theology, Evidence, and Epistemic Humility
Authors: Dougherty Trent , Rickabaugh Brandon
Published: June 2017

One not infrequently hears rumors that the robust practice of natural theology reeks of epistemic pride. Paul Moser’s is a paradigm of such contempt. In this paper we defend the robust practice of natural theology from the charge of epistemic pride. In taking an essentially Thomistic approach, we argue that the evidence of natural theology should be understood as a species of God’s general self-revelation. Thus, an honest assessment of that evidence need not be prideful, but can be an act of epistemic humility, receiving what God has offered, answering God’s call. Lastly, we provide criticisms of Moser’s alternative approach, advancing a variety of philosophical and theological problems against his conception of personifying evidence.
Atheism and Inferential Bias
Authors: Clark Kelly James
Published: June 2017

While the cognitive science of religion is well-trodden ground, atheism has been considerably less scrutinized. Recent psychological studies associate atheism with an intellectual virtue, inferentiality (Shenhav 2011; Norenzayan, Gervais, and Trzesniewski 2012; Norenzayan and Gervais 2013; Pennycook 2012). Theism, on the other hand, is associated with an intellectual “vice”, intuitive thinking. While atheism is allied with the attendant claim that atheism is the result of careful rational assessment of the relevant evidence, theism is considered the result of a lack of reflection on the relevant evidence (or careless disregard of the evidence). Atheism, then, is rational, but theism, then, is irrational. In this essay, we will assess the import of these studies and the attendant claims that these differences in thinking styles entail differences in rationality.
"Signs for a People Who Reason": Religious Experience and Natural Theology
Authors: Griffioen Amber
Published: June 2017

In this paper, I examine various philosophical approaches to religious experience and natural theology and look at some ways in which the former might be relevant for the latter. I argue that by thinking more about oft-overlooked or -underemphasized understandings of a) what might constitute religious experience and b) what functions natural theology might serve, we can begin to develop a more nuanced approach to natural theological appeals to religious experience — one that makes use of materially mediated religious experience to develop a natural theology more sensitive to the varieties of experience of lived religion “on the ground”
A não-contradição é a medida de todas as coisas: sobre a crítica de Aristóteles a Protágoras no Livro Γ da Metafísica
Authors: Lippmann Pedro Clemente Bessa Prado
Published: June 2017

Neste trabalho, pretendo abordar alguns aspectos da polêmica de Aristóteles contra os opositores do princípio de não-contradição. Tendo em vista o posicionamento antagônico de Aristóteles perante as teses atribuídas a Protágoras, analisarei os argumentos apresentados pelo Estagirita nos capítulos cinco e seis do livro gama da Metafísica, inseridos em um contexto que se define pela meta de situar a não-contradição como fundamento ou princípio primeiro da ciência do ser enquanto ser. 

The non-contradiction is the measure of all things: about Aristotle’s critic to Protagoras in Metaphysics Γ

Abstract

In this work, I address some aspects of Aristotle's polemic against the opponents of the principle of non-contradiction. Given the antagonistic position towards the theories of Aristotle ascribed to Protagoras, I examine the arguments presented by the Stagirite in chapters 5 and 6 of Book Γ of Metaphysics, embedded in a context that places the non-contradiction as a foundation or first principle of the science of being qua being.

O tempo verbal na poesia homérica
Authors: Evangelista Lopes Caroline
Published: June 2017

Em qualquer enunciação, a localização temporal dos eventos não ocorre somente por meio do uso dos tempos verbais. Ela se dá através da relação dos tempos entre si e da sua relação com o momento de enunciação. No caso da poesia homérica, o contexto de enunciação coincide com o momento de composição diante da audiência, o que, junto com a enargeia, resulta em um uso específico dos tempos verbais na estruturação da narrativa épica. Baseando-se nessa característica, o trabalho apresentado tem por objetivo rastrear a estrutura verbal utilizada nas cenas de androktasiai da Ilíada, XI, a fim de compreender até que ponto os tempos verbais empregados pelo narrador são resultados da relação do aedo com sua audiência e de que forma eles são empregados. 

The Verb Tense in Homeric Poetry

Abstract

In any enunciation the temporal definition of a state of affairs does not occur only by the use of a verbal tense, but also by the relation of a verbal tense with all the others and their relation with the enunciation moment. In the Homeric poetry the enunciation context coincides with

he composition before an audience. This and the so called enargeia result in a specific use of verbal tenses in epic narrative framework. Based on that feature this paper aims to trace the verbal structure on the narrative framework used in androktasiai-scenes in Iliad XI in order to understand whether or not the singer chooses a tense because of his special relation with his audience and how this tense is employed.

Uma análise de Reso, de Eurípides e da astúcia de Odisseu
Authors: Amadei Sais Lilian
Published: June 2017

A tragédia Reso, cuja autoria é muito discutida, traz uma das versões do mito do rei trácio que dá nome à peça. Encontramos outra versão desse mesmo mito na Ilíada de Homero, no também controverso Canto X, conhecido como Dolonéia. As duas narrativas formam um corpus excelente para quem quer investigar o tema da astúcia na Grécia antiga. Nosso trabalho de mestrado visa a entender de que maneira a astúcia da tragédia Reso se dá, comparando-a com a Dolonéia. Neste artigo, pretendemos fazê-lo através do papel que Odisseu desempenha na trama e da visão que as demais personagens têm dele e de sua conduta na guerra, comparando estas evidências com aquelas relacionadas a Dólon, o outro personagem astucioso da trama, e contrapondo ambos aos seus opostos na tragédia, Reso e Heitor. 

An analysis of Euripides’ Rhesus and Odysseus Cunning Intelligence

Abstract

The tragedy Rhesus, whose authorship is a matter of controversy, brings one version of the Thracian king's myth after whom the play is named. One finds another version of the same myth in Homer ́s Iliad, at the also controversial Book Tenth, known as Doloneia. Both narratives form an excellent corpus to investigate the theme of cunning intelligence in Ancient Greece. My mastering research explores the ways in which cunning intelligence is presented in the Rhesus tragedy, by comparing it with the Doloneia. In this article, I intend to analyze briefly the role played by Odysseus in the plot and the way other characters view him.

Hípias Menor de Platão: tradução, estudo e comentário crítico
Authors: Gomes Vanessa Araújo
Published: June 2017

Hípias Menor é um diálogo socrático, pois pertence ao grupo dos primeiros diálogos platônicos, nos quais Platão ainda está fortemente influenciado pela figura de Sócrates. Essa influência estaria presente, por exemplo, na busca por definições de virtudes morais, terminando geralmente em aporia. Todavia, durante o século XIX alguns críticos tiveram dúvidas em relação à sua autoria, apesar da referência feita à obra por Aristóteles na Metafísica, a qual hoje é amplamente aceita como prova da autoria platônica. Essas dúvidas, no entanto, originaram-se devido ao conteúdo do próprio diálogo, pois nele Sócrates defende a tese paradoxal de que quem comete injustiça voluntariamente é melhor do que quem o faz involuntariamente. 

Plato's Hippias Minor: translation, study and critical commentary

Abstract

Hippias Minor is a Socratic dialogue since it belongs to the group of Plato’s early dialogues, in which Plato is still strongly influenced by Socrates’ figure. This influence would be present, for example, at the search for moral virtues’ definitions, usually ending in aporia. However, during the nineteenth century some critics had doubts about its authorship, despite the reference made by Aristotle in Metaphysics, which is widely accepted as evidence of Platonic authorship nowadays. These doubts, however, were originated due to the content of the dialogue itself, because Socrates defends the paradoxical thesis that those who commit injustice intentionally are better than those who do it unintentionally.

Um modelo para a mudança em Heráclito
Authors: Vieira Celso
Published: June 2017

Da união representada em B60 por um mesmo caminho que vai para cima e para baixo retira-se um modelo para a mudança em Heráclito. Seus componentes seriam dois opostos, A e B, e um mesmo substrato que os une, AB ou BA. Tratar-se-ia portanto de uma mudança recíproca (de A para B e de B para A) que serviria de prova para a união dos opostos (A e B). As condições para seu funcionamento dependem da interação entre seus componentes. A união no substrato é condição de existência para os opostos. No entanto ela não pode unificá-los em um todo homogêneo pois impossibilitaria a mudança da qual depende. A aplicação desse modelo aos casos particulares apresentados em outros fragmentos permite compreender melhor a interação entre os tipos de mudança, sucessiva ou simultânea, e os tipos de opostos, com existência real ou aparente. 

Abstract

The unity of the way up and down presented in B60 would be a model of change in Heraclitus. Its components are two opposites, A and B, and an unifying substratum AB or BA. They would represent a reciprocal change (from A to B, then from B to A) serving as a proof of the opposites' union. The conditions of such a change would rest on the interaction between the components. The opposites' existence depends on their unifying substratum, but their unification cannot result in an homogeneous whole, for it would make the change impossible. The application of such a model to particular cases presented over the fragments allow a better comprehension of the types of change and the types of opposites presented in Heraclitus' fragments.

O Panatenaico de Isócrates e a crítica platônica à escrita no Fedro
Authors: Bertacchi André
Published: June 2017

A passagem final do Panatenaico (§§ 200-73) apresenta uma cena de uma conversa entre Isócrates e um dos seus discípulos, situação que teria precedido a publicação do texto, consistindo na única ocorrência de diálogo dentro do corpus dos oradores áticos. Este artigo propõe um exame dessa passagem final a partir de sua forma, tentando mostrar quais são as consequências do emprego do diálogo em um texto que se apresenta como a fala de um orador. Para tanto, proceder-se-á a uma comparação do discurso com obra daquele que foi o principal do cultor do diálogo em prosa na Grécia antiga – Platão. Para se estabelecer a comparação, escolheu-se o Fedro, não somente por ele conter excurso discutindo o valor da escrita quando comparada à dialética, mas também porque Isócrates é especialmente visado por esse texto, que termina com o elogio de Sócrates ao autor.

Abstract

The final passage of the Panathenaicus (§§ 200-73) consists in a dialogue scene between Isocrates and one of his former pupils, a situation that supposedly preceded the speech’s publication. The passage, being the only example of dialogue found in the corpus of the Attic orators, has attracted some attention from the commentators. This article examines the passage according to its form, trying to show the consequences of the introduction of a dialogue in a text that presents itself as the deliverance of an orator. To achieve this goal, I shall compare the speech with the work of the one who surely is the most representative composer of prose dialogue – Plato. More specifically, the comparison will be made with the Phaedrus, a text important not only because of its contraposition of writing text against spoken dialogue, but also because it contains the only nominal reference to Isocrates in the entire Platonic corpus.

El Drama Satírico y el reverso de la Tragedia
Authors: De Santis Guillermo
Published: June 2017

El presente artículo presenta el Drama Satírico como el reverso teatral de la Tragedia. Como forma teatral inserta en el “espectáculo trágico”, la función del Drama Satírico no puede ser analizada separadamente de la Tragedia y se propone que el contraste con esta última es un modo acertado de análisis dada la escasez de fuentes que se poseen.

A partir del análisis de las implicancias humorísticas del lenguaje, la ópsis y la gestualidad, este artículo propone que el Drama Satírico opera fundamentalmente sobre las emociones suscitadas por las tragedias que, en época clásica, lo antecedían en la representación. De esta manera, se afirma que distendiendo el poder emotivo de las emociones trágicas, el satirógrafo puede ofrecer un espacio de alivio risible en el que algunos tópicos trágicos son representados desde una perspectiva humorística.

De esta manera, el Drama Satírico muestra el carácter ficcional de la Tragedia, operación básica para promover una distensión que, sin negar los efectos emotivos de aquella, admite la posibilidad de otras emociones (como la risa) en el tratamiento del mito y de los héroes épicos presentes en la trama de las tragedias.

Abstract

This paper thinks the Satyr Drama as the theatrical reverse of the Tragedy. As a theatrical form inserted in the “Tragic Festivity”, the function of the Satyr Drama cannot be analyzed separately from the Tragedy and it is proposed that the contrast with this major genre is a correct mode of analysis, given the scarcity of available sources.

Drawing from the analysis of the humorous implications of language, ópsis and gesture, this paper proposes that the Satyr Drama operates fundamentally on the emotions provoked by the tragedies that, in classical times, preceded it in the performance. This way, it is affirmed that, by distancing the emotional power of tragic emotions, the satirographer can offer a space of laughable relief in which some tragic topics are represented from a humorous perspective. 

Finally, the Satyr Drama shows the fictional character of Tragedy, a basic operation to promote a distention that, without denying the emotional effects of Tragedy, admits the possibility of other emotions (such as laughter) in the treatment of myth and epic heroes present in the plot of tragedies.

Published: June 2017

The study was carried out using ten maize hybrids in spring 2015 and 2016 were planted at the field of Agriculture College, University of Duhok. All treatments arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to determine the heritability, genetic advance, correlation and genetic parameters govering the inheritance of grain yield and related agronomic traits. The result showed significant difference among hybrids for studied traits in spring 2015 and 2016 and also the results revealed that hybrids and seasons interaction had a significant difference for all traits. The season’s spring 2015 was superior than spring 2016 in leaf area, days to 75% tasseling and silking, yield and its components. The hybrid (OH40 xIK8) was superior in No. of rows ear-1, No. of kernels row-1,300 kernel weight and kernel yield plant1. All studied traits recorded higher value of heritability, high genetic advance coupled with heritability was observed in leaf area and kernel yield plant-1, thus selection based on these traits will be effective in maize breeding program. Grain yield was positively correlated with leaf area and 300 kernel weight, also No. of row ear-1 exhibited positive correlation coefficient with leaf area, 300-kernell weight and kernel yield plant-1.
Synthesis and Characterization of Photocatalytic Performance of Rutile-Tio2 Nanorod Arrays for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Authors: Qasim Amin K. , Jamil Lazgin A. , Chen Qiao
Published: June 2017

Single crystalline rutile TiO2 nanorods (TNRs) films have been grown on the fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates using a one pot hydrothermal method, have attracted great attention because of favorable applications in the  photoelectrochemical water splitting system. The effect of the reaction conditions on the morphology, crystal orientation and photocatalytic activity has been systematically investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that two diffraction peaks at 36.3° and 63.2° correspond to the (101) and (002) planes of the tetragonal rutile TiO2 nanorod, respectively. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the samples indicates that the TiO2 array surface morphology and orientation are highly dependent on the reaction parameters, such as temperature, reaction time and the titanium precursor concentration. In a typical condition of the hydrothermal method at 0.3ml of TBO and 160°C for 3 hr, a small diameter and short length 190 nm and 2.2 µm of TiO2 nanorods respectively, are grown on florien doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate. When synthesized TiO2 nanorods photocatalyst was irradiated under illumination of simulated AM 1.5G solar light (100 mW cm−2) achieves an overall Photocurrent density of 1.80 mA/cm2 with a maximum photoconversion efficiency of ~1.6%. The results suggest that these dense and aligned one-dimensional TiO2 nanorods are promising for hydrogen generation from water splitting based on PEC cells.

Occupational Noise pollution is increasingly being recognized as a physical factor in the environment that is injurious to many aspects of health. This study focuses on the industrial noise and its effects on workers. The aim of the study is to find out the possible relation between the occupational noise exposure and arterial blood pressure, pulse rate, and hearing thresholds for workers at several industrial areas in Zakho City, Kurdistan region of Iraq. The study group included 113 workers employed in twenty-one different factories (chosen randomly). All the individuals under study were men. Their ages were between 15 to 60 years. The noise level was between (76.5-98) decibels (dB(A)). In order to observe the harmful effects of the noise, a questionnaire was made for all the workers. The systolic blood pressure mean for the samples is increased by 6.07 mmHg, while the diastolic blood pressure mean is increased by 2.63 mmHg; the pulse rate mean is increased by 5.56 beats/minute. The hearing threshold levels also show a decrease in their values.

Le concept d’entreprise « libérée » vu par l’analyse transactionnelle
Authors: Ducatteeuw Philippe
Published: June 2017

Voici un article qui prend le contre-pied de la mode qui consiste à encenser le phénomène « d’entreprise libérée ». Après une belle carrière dans l’industrie et une non moins belle carrière d’analyste transactionnel, Philippe Ducatteeuw TSTA.O nous livre son point de vue sur ce type d’entreprises. Après une rapide revue des principales théories du management qui ont préparé le terrain de la « libération » des entreprises, Philippe nous invite à repenser l’objet de son étude selon la Théorie des Organisations de Berne. Tout d’abord, l’environnement : qu’est-ce qui fait qu’actuellement les circonstances socio-historiques favorisent l’émergence du concept d’entreprise libérée ? Puis avec le logos analytique de son Adulte, l’auteur nous montre ce que n’est pas une entreprise libérée. Il poursuit et reprend différents modèles sur la motivation et les confronte à la notion d’ajustement d’imago de la Théorie des Organisations de Berne. Philippe termine par un vade mecum pour mettre en place la libération d’une entreprise en s’appuyant sur la notion de contrat chère à tout analyste transactionnel. F.V.
Organisations en situation de blocage. Turbulences culturelles : fusions et acquisitions d’organisations
Authors: Fornari Luca , Toson Denis
Published: June 2017

L’auteur analyse dans cet article les phénomènes qui se déroulent lors de la fusion entre deux entreprises tant au niveau des individus que des groupes. Il indique quelques symptômes observables du dysfonctionnement de la nouvelle organisation et propose des pistes d’actions pour aider cette entreprise. Pour illustrer ses propos, Luca Fornari prend comme exemple le rachat d’une entreprise italienne par un groupe coréen et montre où se déroulent les « turbulences culturelles » entre ces deux groupes de personnes. Pour des raisons de ligne éditoriale, la version française présentée ici est plus courte que la version italienne. Il n’empêche que le lecteur francophone lira ce texte avec grand intérêt. 1 F.V.
L'ouverture sociale par le marché ?
Authors: Allouch Annabelle
Published: June 2017

Initiés au début des années 2000, les dispositifs d'ouverture sociale de l'université d'Oxford cherchent à assurer la candidature d'un nombre plus élevé d'élèves issus de milieux modestes. À partir d'une approche inspirée par la sociologie des marchés, cet article illustre les modalités par lesquelles ces dispositifs tentent de coordonner une offre de formation élitiste et une demande de formation d'un public populaire. Le processus repose sur trois étapes : il segmente les publics en proposant une offre de formation à court terme, calibrée pour des élèves aux dispositions sociales et scolaires particulières ; il joue sur l'adaptation de l'offre d'Oxford aux dispositions sociales attendues des candidats, qui repose à la fois sur une neutralisation sociale des espaces et sur l'explicitation sur un ton personnel et ludique de l'offre de formation et de ses spécificités ; enfin, ce processus tente de minorer le rôle des enseignants dans le cadre de la construction des aspirations des élèves, soit en les limitant à un rôle d'encadrement matériel, soit en s'assurant de leur loyauté. Il s'agit alors moins de convertir les élèves à des codes sociaux particuliers que de jouer sur leurs dispositions actuelles afin qu'ils adhèrent à l'offre. Alors que l'approche par la socialisation est généralement mobilisée pour comprendre les effets sociaux de ces dispositifs sur les dispositions et les aspirations scolaires des élèves, l'approche par la captation éclaire un processus d'interaction entre un individu et une institution qui, précisément, ne relève pas d'une socialisation.
Kant et la métaphysique de l’Interdit
Authors: Colonna d’Istria François
Published: June 2017

L’on connaît la division du système kantien en philosophie spéculative et philosophie pratique. Toutefois, il se pourrait que cette distinction classique reflète et exprime une réalité plus profonde, une faille dans la manière dont le système kantien est construit. C’est précisément la lecture de la Rechtslehre qui révèle, comme par un jeu de miroirs, la fêlure du système kantien dans son ensemble. En posant à l’origine du pouvoir politique un Interdit fondateur, elle trahit le dogmatisme qui irrigue la partie pratique du système kantien. La méthode transcendantale, si elle régit indiscutablement le versant spéculatif du système, serait ainsi demeurée impuissante à affecter son versant pratique. Ainsi s’expliquerait, en deçà des motivations personnelles de l’homme Emmanuel Kant et par la logique interne du texte même de la Rechtslehre, le conservatisme autoritaire si souvent relevé par les commentateurs. Un chemin de questionnement s’ouvre alors : dans quelle mesure suivre la méthode transcendantale initiée par la philosophie spéculative kantienne pourrait contribuer à construire une théorie de la connaissance juridique ?
Phénoménologie de la littérature expressionniste allemande
Authors: Lahbib Olivier
Published: June 2017

La littérature expressionniste allemande propose une phénoménologie où la mort joue le rôle d’un principe commandant tous les phénomènes de la vie. En ce sens, quant au contenu des idées, cette phénoménologie pousse à son comble l’inspiration pessimiste schopenhaurienne. Pourtant, la figure du dionysiaque semble prendre une nouvelle dimension, à travers la fonction majeure de la contradiction. Cette phénoménologie de la mort montre sa proximité du point de vue de la méthode avec le procédé husserlien de la réduction. La puissance de destruction à l’œuvre rend à sa manière compte de l’entreprise des variations eidétiques et de la suspension de l’attitude naturelle.
Jeux de mains, jeux de management
Authors: Rappin Baptiste
Published: June 2017

Cet article est une enquête étymologique qui cherche à faire surgir le sens originel du management à travers la mise en évidence de son radical : « manus », la main. Voilà qui écarte donc le lien qui unirait, par le jeu du langage, économie et management sous la forme de la « ménagerie », terme privilégié par Étienne de la Boétie pour traduire L’Économique de Xénophon. Le propre du management se situe ailleurs : dans le maniement, la manipulation et la manœuvre. Si donc la main du marché est invisible, celle des managers, elle, se fait visible : mais quelle est cette main ? Que touche-t‑elle ? De quelle sorte de visibilité s’agit-il ? C’est à cet ensemble de questions que le présent article souhaite s’affronter.

Although strategies that block FOXP3-dependent regulatory T cell function (CTLA4 blockade) and the inhibitory receptor PD1 have shown great promise in promoting antitumor immune responses in humans, their widespread implementation for cancer immunotherapy has been hampered by significant off-target autoimmune side effects that can be lethal. Our work has shown that absence of OX40 and CD30 costimulatory signals prevents CD4 T cell–driven autoimmunity in Foxp3-deficient mice, suggesting a novel way to block these side effects. In this study, we show that excellent antitumor CD8 T cell responses can be achieved in Foxp3KO mice deficient in OX40 and CD30 signals, particularly in the presence of concurrent PD1 blockade. Furthermore, excellent antitumor immune responses can also be achieved using combinations of Abs that block CTLA4, PD1, OX40, and CD30 ligands, without CD4 T cell–driven autoimmunity. By dissociating autoimmune side effects from anticancer immune responses, this potentially shifts this antitumor approach to patients with far less advanced disease.

Hope, Politics and Risk: The Case of Chinese Dam in Nigeria
Authors: Felix Olorunfemi , May Tan-Mullins , Giles Mohan , Giuseppina Siciliano , Frauke Urban
Published: June 2017

The rise of Chinese infrastructure investment in Africa has raised a set of questions about whose development agendas are being fulfilled by such projects, where the power lies in these negotiations, and how local communities are impacted by the projects. Current assumptions see China as holding the power in these relations and that its state-backed transnational corporations unilaterally get their way. This paper challenges these simplistic assumptions by examining the case of a ‘failed’ Chinese project - the Zamfara Dam in Northern Nigeria – and in doing so makes a case for the role of African political agency in brokering Chinese engagement. The dam project was initiated in 2008 between the Zamfara State government and the China Geo-Engineering Corporation; funding was supposed to come from the Chinese ExIm Bank. After the initial assessment and community consultations that spanned three years, the project failed to take off. Primary data is used to understand the process of failure and shows that the dam was initiated based on political expediency rather than the actual drive for development. It was brokered between the elites of China, Nigeria and Zamfara state and so failed to gain wider legitimacy and accountability. Also, in the drive to see the project initiated statutory shortcuts were taken. Critically, consultation was not broadbased even among the state government officials and the communities. The initiation of the project did not follow the laid down procedure of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources. Given that largely political factors played a significant role in the failure of the project, it is suggested that motivation for and implementation of development projects of this nature should transcend political whims and caprices of politicians and ensuring more transparency and broad consultation.
Spatiotemporal distribution of Oklahoma earthquakes: Exploring relationships using a nearest‐neighbor approach
Authors: Vasylkivska Veronika S. , Huerta Nicolas J.
Published: June 2017

Determining the spatiotemporal characteristics of natural and induced seismic events holds the opportunity to gain new insights into why these events occur. Linking the seismicity characteristics with other geologic, geographic, natural, or anthropogenic factors could help to identify the causes and suggest mitigation strategies that reduce the risk associated with such events. The nearest‐neighbor approach utilized in this work represents a practical first step toward identifying statistically correlated clusters of recorded earthquake events. Detailed study of the Oklahoma earthquake catalog's inherent errors, empirical model parameters, and model assumptions is presented. We found that the cluster analysis results are stable with respect to empirical parameters (e.g., fractal dimension) but were sensitive to epicenter location errors and seismicity rates. Most critically, we show that the patterns in the distribution of earthquake clusters in Oklahoma are primarily defined by spatial relationships between events. This observation is a stark contrast to California (also known for induced seismicity) where a comparable cluster distribution is defined by both spatial and temporal interactions between events. These results highlight the difficulty in understanding the mechanisms and behavior of induced seismicity but provide insights for future work.
