THE PERFORMATIVE IN SECOND LANGUAGE EDUCATION: AN EXAMPLE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE DISCIPLINE
Authors: Blaszk Martin
Published: July 2019

Second language education (SLE) must remain open to developments in the world if it is to be relevant to those who have an investment in it: learners, teachers and researchers. However, the broadening of the in-terdisciplinary nature of SLE that may occur because of this is not with-out its problems. New areas will bring ideas and terminology that will make SLE as a discipline even more complex. In addition, the ideas and terminology may be disputed in the fields from which they originate thus compounding the problem of complexity. The article looks at the example of the performative in SLE and how it supports an approach that is interdisciplinary and intercultural. It also looks at some of the problems this causes: the implications of implementing an SLE practice that is performative, the fact that there are different performative prac-tices, as well as variance between seemingly similar performative prac-tices because of national and cultural differences. The article concludes with the description of two studies which show the complex nature of performative SLE as praxis.

L’INTERCULTUREL, UNE COMPOSANTE PARMI D’AUTRES DE LA COMPÉTENCE CULTURELLE
Authors: Puren Christian
Published: July 2019

The notion of interculturality has occupied the entire field of reflection on culture in the didactics of languages and cultures during the past decades. Unduly, because intercultural competence is in reality only one of the components of cultural competence. Pluricultural compe-tence, for example, was introduced in the years 2000-2001 in the Com-mon European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teach-ing, assessment (Council of Europe, 2001), but the other components that preceded it during the evolution of the discipline – the transcul-tural and metacultural components – are just as essential. Also, a new « co-cultural » component had to be mobilized later in the elaboration of the action-oriented approach which is outlined in this document. In the epistemological framework of the complex didactics of languages-cultures, which are as attentive to the diversity of audiences and the objectives and environments of learning and teaching processes, as to the challenges of social action training, all these components must now be simultaneously taken into account.
KU KONCEPTUALIZACJI WRAŻLIWOŚCI KULTUROWEJ W RAMACH MODELU KOMPETENCJI (INTER)KULTUROWEJ NA GRUNCIE WSPÓŁCZESNEJ GLOTTODYDAKTYKI
Authors: Waszau Anna
Published: July 2019

The purpose of the present article is a reflection on the concept of cultural sensitivity as the major element of the (inter)cultural competence presented in The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment (Council of Europe, 2001), juxtaposed with the leading paradigm of interculturality in glottodidactics. Whereas this dominant ap-proach often focuses mainly on the question of differences and similarities be-tween cultures, our model allows us to take a look ‘from the inside’ by trying to adopt an attitude of reflectiveness towards cultural standards, among oth-ers. After analysing some of the theories concerning developing intercultural sensitivity, such as the sociological model of Bennett or the educational sys-tem of Byram, we proceed to justify why we would promote the cultural ap-proach in glottodidactics. We seek to explain how we can specify cultural sen-sitivity, what elements which encourage this attitude and what would block it. In the last part of the article, we concentrate on the specificity of media dis-course in the context of cultural sensitivity and on ways of using authentic mass media materials in the teaching-learning process, providing some exam-ples taken from a pilot study conducted by the author for her Master’s thesis.
Aggregation-promoting conditions necessary to create the complexes by acylphosphatase from the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus
Authors: Banach Mateusz , Wiśniowski Zdzisław , Ptak Magdalena , Roterman Irena
Published: July 2019

The structural transition from the globular to the amyloid form of proteins requires aggregation-promoting conditions. The protein example of this category is acylphosphatase from the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus. This protein represents a structure with a well-defined hydrophobic core. This is why the complexation (including oligomerization) of this protein is of low probability. The chain fragment participating in aggregation in comparison to the status with respect to the fuzzy oil drop model is discussed in this paper.
Comparison of proteomic profiles of the phaeophyte Saccharina japonica thalli proximal to and beneath the front of epiphytic hydrozoan colonies against healthy tissue
Authors: Getachew Paulos , Nam Bo-Hye , Hong Yong-Ki
Published: July 2019

The stoloniferous hydrozoan Obelia geniculata commonly colonizes macroalgae such as Saccharina japonica. Each Obelia colony consists of thread-like hydrorhizae attached to the seaweed thallus. The early signaling proteins of epiphytic contamination can be identified using proteomics. To isolate these early signals, parts of the thallus proximal to the hydrozoans were separated from beneath the colony front and from healthy tissue. From the proteomic profiles of S. japonica, we detected 110 protein spots from tissue proximal to hydrozoan colonies (56 increased, 53 decreased, and 1 unchanged in expression relative to healthy tissue) and 133 spots from tissue at the colony front (67 increased, 60 decreased, and 6 unchanged in expression). Of the proteins with increased and decreased expression, SIPA1L1 and actin increased strongly only in the proximal tissues, while NEK2 kinase decreased. CIPK20 and SIPA1L2 increased markedly in both the colony-front and proximal tissues, while CaMK2N2 and GK25369 decreased in both tissues. ATPase β, ADA, kinesin, and HECT domain proteins increased only in the colony-front tissues. Among them, SIPA1L2 increased strongly in both the thallus tissues proximal to the hydrozoans and those beneath the colony front, but was not expressed in response to bryozoan infection.
Control of construction projects using the Earned Value Method - case study
Authors: Araszkiewicz Krystyna , Bochenek Magdalena
Published: July 2019

Planning, controlling, monitoring progress are key management functions for effective implementation of construction projects. Commonly used instruments enabling performance of these functions include schedules and budgets, often in the form of a cost estimate. They are created at the initial planning stage to monitor and control cost and time deviations. Moreover, popular monitoring techniques are, for example, observation of milestones and comparative analysis of actual versus planned costs. This article presents a work progress control tool - the Earned Value Method (EVM) - which, despite its benefits, remains relatively unused in construction projects. The impact of the planning phase on the results obtained during the monitoring and control phase when utilizing EVM is discussed. This case study provides practical examples of using EVM in the implementation of construction projects and with the use of computer software. The novelty of the article results from the introduction of additional sensitivity analysis illustrating the impact of factors, such as an increase in costs or a change in delivery dates to the course of deviation curves. Use of sensitivity analysis in relation to the results of the CPI and SPI calculations affords combining control of costs and time with risk monitoring in the project. The findings reveal significant benefits in using EVM to implement construction projects but also highlight some important limitations.
Research on the ingot shrinkage in the electroslag remelting withdrawal process for 9Cr3Mo roller
Authors: Li Wanming , Zang Ximin , Qi Haiyang , Li Dejun , Deng Xin
Published: July 2019

In order to reduce the air gap between ingot and mould in the electroslag remelting withdrawal (ESRW) process, the taper of the mould should be consistent with the ingot shrinkage.Athree-dimensional mathematical model was developed to describe the interaction of multiple-physical fields (Joule heat, electromagnetic field, velocity field, and temperature field) and ingot shrinkage during the ESRW process. The variations of material thermal and mechanical properties, as well as the yield function with temperature, were considered. The shrinkage behavior of 9Cr3Mo roller in the ESRW process was simulated using the sequential coupling method. A good agreement between the calculated value and the measured valuewas obtained in the temperature field and stress field. Numerical results showed that maximum values of current density, Joule heat, and electromagnetic forcewere at the electrode corner of the slag bath. The direction of the magnetic flux density was tangential to the slag bath and had a clockwise rotation. There were two pairs of vortices and two high temperature zones in the slag bath. The shrinkage displacement was obtained through thermal-stress analysis. As the distance from the mould outlet decreases, the shrinkage displacement of ingot increases. As for the electroslag remelting withdrawal process for 9Cr3Mo roller, the variation of the shrinkage displacement from the slag/metal interface to the mould outlet was 0.0028 m. The maximum shrinkage displacement is at the mould outlet, and the value was 0.0089 m.

Published: July 2019

This article documents the increasing use of the English curse word fuck worldwide, as well as its degree of adaption into the host language, its syntactic function, and its meaning and its strength as taboo. Comparing the use of fuck with a special focus on the Nordic countries (Norway, Denmark, and Iceland) with its use in Eurasia and Africa (with different alphabets, namely Cyrillic in Russia, Devanāgarī in India and Ge’ez script in Ethiopia), we found some similar developmental patterns, but also differences, for example to what degree the English loan word has replaced local curses and in what ways among social groups within a country. Comparing the terms used for the same concept was challenging because some countries have better text corpora and more research on written languages and especially on taboos, and those without such resources required additional minor investigations for a baseline. Findings revealed that fuck has spread worldwide from English, and it is commonly used in Nordic languages today. In Russian fuck is also adopted into the heritage language to a relatively high degree, and it has further gained importance in the vocabulary of India, where English has become the most used language by the higher and middle classes, but less so by lower classes. In contrast, the study of Amharic language in Ethiopia shows that the f-word is rarely used at all, and only by youngsters. We found a pattern starting from the outer North with Icelandic having adapted and adopted the word fuck the most, a slight decline in use in Norwegian and Danish, with less adaption and use in Russian, even less in Indian-English or Hindi, and being more or less absent in the African language Amharic. Formally though it is used conceptually both in Hindi and Amharic.
Velocity field and crustal deformation of broader Athens plain (Greece) from a dense geodetic network
Authors: Foumelis M.
Published: July 2019

The broader area of Athens, a region exhibiting relatively low crustal deformation, was stroke in 1999 by a catastrophic earthquake posing serious questions regarding strain accumulation in slow deforming regions located within active geodynamic regimes. In the present study, the establishment of a dense geodetic network, primarily designed to monitor local tectonic movements is reported. A comprehensive GNSS velocity field, over the period 2005–2008, as well as calculated geodetic strain rates is presented. It is shown that a single strain tensor is insufficient to express the heterogeneity of the local geodetic field. Local variability of strain is successfully depicted, indicating the western part of Athens as the area of higher strain accumulation. Maximum dilatation rates occur along a NNE-SSW direction between Parnitha Mt. and Thriasio basin. The observed dilatation can be associated to WNW-ESE trending active fault zones, which appear to abruptly terminate towards East along a major NNE-SSW Miocene tectonic boundary. These findings are consistent to the stress field responsible for the Athens 1999 earthquake, also in agreement with geological and tectonic observations. Finally, the implications of the observed motion field on the understanding of the kinematics and dynamics of the region as well as the role of inherited inactive tectonic structures are discussed.
Benign thyroid nodules in pediatric patients: determining best practices for repeat ultrasound evaluations
Authors: Hodax Juanita K. , Bowerman Kimberly , Quintos Jose Bernardo
Published: July 2019

Background

The American Thyroid Association (ATA) recommendations for the follow-up of thyroid nodules with benign fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in children are largely based on adult data, despite well-characterized differences between thyroid nodules in adults and children. We aimed to determine the optimal time interval for repeat evaluation of an FNA-benign thyroid nodule in a pediatric patient.

Methods

This is a retrospective chart review of patients <19 years of age from 2003 to 2013 with a benign thyroid nodule by FNA cytology.

Results

We identified 43 patients with benign thyroid nodule cytology on FNA. The average age at diagnosis was 15.6 years, with female predominance (91%). Initial ultrasound (US) findings showed an average nodule size of 2.5 cm, 10% with calcifications, 37% hyperemia, 29% hypoechogenicity and 7% lymphadenopathy. Follow-up US was done in 42%. The first follow-up US occurred on average at 15 months after the initial US. Four patients had nodules with significant growth over time. One patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) on final pathology initially had a decreasing nodule size, and then a subsequent increase in the nodule size after 4.5 years. Thyroid nodules were surgically removed in 33% with the final pathology showing a benign cytology in four patients, follicular adenoma in eight patients and PTC in two patients.

Conclusions

The majority of patients with benign thyroid nodules had no significant increase in nodule size in the first year of follow-up, including one patient who was subsequently found to have PTC. We recommend follow-up US at 1 year after initial presentation in low-risk pediatric patients with benign thyroid nodule cytology.
Contiguous gene deletion in a Chinese family with X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: challenges in early diagnosis and implications for affected families

Published: July 2019

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder of the renal collecting tubules, characterized by an inability to concentrate urine due to an impaired response to arginine vasopressin (AVP), resulting in dilute urine and polyuria. Causes of NDI are heterogeneous and diagnosing congenital NDI (cNDI) in young infants is clinically challenging, as typical symptoms are often unappreciated or inconspicuous. Instead, young infants may present with non-specific signs such as vomiting, poor feeding, failure to thrive, unexplained fevers, irritability, constipation or diarrhea. We report a 37-day-old infant who presented with polyuria and severe hypernatremic dehydration that was unresponsive to vasopressin. The patient was treated with amiloride, indomethacin and hydrochlorothiazide. Genetic analysis revealed a novel contiguous deletion involving the entire AVPR2 gene and the last exon of the adjacent ARHGAP4 gene. A study of the family confirmed the carrier status in the mother. This case illustrates the importance of molecular testing in confirming the diagnosis in the index patient, as well as in identifying asymptomatic at-risk female carriers so that appropriate genetic counselling can be given for reproductive planning. All pediatric patients with suspected cNDI should undergo genetic analysis for a definitive diagnosis.

Published: July 2019

In the new millennium the well-established paradigms of organic photochemistry have come alive as the basis for a wide range of synthetic methodologies that take advantage of the enhanced redox properties of excited states. While many strategies have been developed using rare, expensive and non-reusable catalysts, the road forward should include catalysts based on more abundant elements and reusable materials. This green road leads to the exploration of heterogeneous systems that can be eventually adapted for flow photocatalysis, and also adopted for the solution of environmental problems such as water treatment and fuel generation using solar radiation. If heterogeneous photocatalysis can play a role in supplying solutions to drug synthesis, energy and potable water supplies, then photochemistry will have an unprecedented societal impact.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are xenobiotics which adversely modify the hormone system. The endocrine system is most vulnerable to assaults by endocrine disruptors during the prenatal and early development window, and effects may persist into adulthood and across generations. The prenatal stage is a period of vulnerability to environmental chemicals because the epigenome is usually reprogrammed during this period. Bisphenol A (BPA), lead (Pb), and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) were chosen for critical review because they have become serious public health concerns globally, especially in Africa where they are widely used without any regulation. In this review, we introduce EDCs and describe the various modes of action of EDCs and the importance of the prenatal and developmental windows to EDC exposure. We give a brief overview of epigenetics and describe the various epigenetic mechanisms: DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs, and how each of them affects gene expression. We then summarize findings from previous studies on the effects of prenatal exposure to the endocrine disruptors BPA, Pb and DDT on each of the previously described epigenetic mechanisms. We also discuss how the epigenetic alterations caused by these EDCs may be related to disease processes.
Nature’s Own Remedies

This article examines American perceptions of Chinese herbalism as natural medicine in the Progressive Era. In doing so, it uses the lens of environmental history to consider three meanings of nature for Chinese medicine in the United States: First, as a material, trans-Pacific environment where medicinal ingredients were procured, distributed, and consumed; second, as part of the evolving distinction between modern, scientific “regular” medicine and anti-modern, unscientific “irregular” medicine that reached a moment of crisis at the turn of the twentieth century; and third, as a reflection of the racialization of Chinese health practices co-created by Asian practitioners and their American patients, who were conditioned by Orientalist stereotypes to perceive Chinese culture as close to a pastoral or primitive nature. The close association between herbs and nature enabled Chinese doctors to thrive as “irregular” or “alternative” practitioners in the American medical marketplace. While American patients may have perceived Chinese medicine as closer to nature, the many meanings of nature reveal the extent to which the association was a deliberate strategy for survival and success adopted by Chinese doctors in the United States.

The purpose of this study was to examine the strategies for improving the quality standardization of Besuki Na-Oogst tobacco cultivation. Data sources were obtained from the results of in-depth interviews with Besuki Na-Oogst tobacco-related stakeholders. The analytical method used was the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of the study showed that the success of Besuki Na-Oogst tobacco cultivation governance as a quality and export-oriented product was not only determined by good cultivation techniques but also needed to be supported by institutional patterns from upstream to downstream, starting from on-farm to off-farm. Trade and marketing are being the main priorities in the development of tobacco quality. Some of the top rankings in alternative strategies are the role of formal institutions in marketing followed by management of quality standards, determination of selling prices and market expansion occupying the priorities of all alternatives in the development of tobacco quality. These results are in line with the important role of quality in export commodities in particular in which quality will affect competitive advantage and ultimately improve the welfare of farmers and other tobacco farming actors.

This study aims to evaluate the development program of Tlogoadi Sleman village which is related to social capital and community participation. Social capital as the potential of natural resources and human resources, while community participation is the activity of individuals or groups in village development programs. The research subjects consisted of 12 hamlet heads in Tlogoadi village, and data collection using questionnaire methods and in-depth interviews. Data analysis was descriptive quantitative and qualitative. The results showed that the average social capital of 80% supports the development activities of the village of Tlogoadi and 85% involves community participation. Evaluation based on the utilization of resource potential carried out by Tlogoadi village shows that 75% of the potential of natural resources and human resources are used in rural development which can reduce poverty. Future studies need to be tested on community members from each hamlet to find out the consistency of the results.

In the developing countries, the government has a vital role in supporting the development of SME’s as one of economic pillars. There are studies which state that the government has played an active role in supporting the development of SME’s, either from policy or implementation, but several studies argue that government failure in supporting and creating business climate has caused business stagnation for SME’s. This study aims to analyze the coherence between government policy through Regional Superior Products development (under OVOP) program with SME’s main product choice in Central Java province. The analysis using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), on the data collected through focus group discussion (FGD), questionnaire, and secondary data. The result of this study shows weak evidence that there is coherence between government program and SME’s/ SME’s main product choice, there are only 6 districts/cities that have coherence SME’s: Grobogan district, Blora, Rembang, Magelang (city), Brebes, and Banjarnegara, while the rest districts/cities have no coherence between SME’s and government policy. Supply side policy, volume orientation, partial support, and several other factors are the cause of in-coherence. The implication of this finding is that there is a need of evaluation, downstream policy, business link (including education field) that support SME’s will develop.

Published: July 2019

Food availability is a development priority. Along with the increasing population growth, safe and nutritious food is rising. Analysis of food consumption patterns is needed to estimate the demand for agricultural products. This study attempts to analyze consumption patterns and food demand for several commodities in Java by using the 2010-2017 National Socio-Economic Survey data collected by Statistics Indonesia. Results of this study are: 1) the demand for quantity of rice is not elastic to income; (2) the demand for quantity of fresh fish, shrimp, beef and chicken meat is elastic to income; (3) the budget elasticity of fresh fish, shrimp, beef and chicken meat is also large, which means that households will increase the quantity and budget for these three commodities; (4) quantity and budget elasticity in rural are generally greater than urban; (5) in urban areas, budget elasticity is greater than quantity elasticity for all commodities, while in rural, budget elasticity is smaller than quantity elasticity, except for sugar, fresh fish and shrimp; (6) there has been a shift in the proportion of food expenditure on Java, e.g. the proportion of expenditures for grains decreases and the proportion of expenditures for prepared food and beverages increases.
A complexidade do modelo fantástico intertextual de Cada corazón, un umbral
Authors: G-Pedreira Rocío
Published: July 2019

A influencia recíproca dos sistemas literarios infantil e xuvenil e da literatura para adultos é unha constante dende as primeiras obras ‘gañadas’ que iniciaron o proceso de constitución da Literatura Infantil e Xuvenil. O presente artigo dá conta da evolución desa relación a través da análise da construción fantástica da novela para público adulto Every Heart A Doorway [traducida ao español como Cada corazón, un umbral], escrita por Seanan McGuire e publicada orixinalmente no 2016, gañadora dos Premios Hugo, Locus e Nébula 2017, algúns dos galardóns máis importantes da literatura fantástica. O foco de atención situarase en como se crea unha narrativa fantástica complicada de tipificar que se constrúe a través da intertextualidade coa fórmula fantástica máis utilizada no sistema literario Infantil e Xuvenil, na cal a crianza protagonista viaxa dende o mundo primario (realista) ao mundo secundario (fantástico), do cal regresa tras dunha experiencia enriquecedora e complicada que lle fai ollar o mundo con outros ollos.
