La evolución del español a través del doblaje en España.
Authors: Sáenz-Herrero Ángela , Rica-Peromingo Juan Pedro
Published: March 2021

In this text, we propose an overview of the evolution of the Spanish language through the dubbed versions of foreign films in Spain along the twentieth century.We cover from the early stages of cinema and silent movies and the use of intertitles –as iliteracy was high in large cities and the rate was even higher among women and in rural areas (Gubern, 1993)– so these title cards were something problematic to deal with, for this reason the film lecturer (Sánchez Salas, 2011), the commentator (Fuentes Luque, 2019) or the “explicador” film explainer proved key as a link between the audience and the movies (Fuentes Luque, 2019). After the talkies appeared, different varieties of Spanish could be heard in multilingual movies. Franco’s regime influenced the result of many films exhibited in Spanish movie theatres not only in the images, but also in the political ideologies, the religious aspects, the indecorous language, and sexual or improper activities, portrayed in Hollywood movies (Díaz Cintas, 2019). A “neutral” Spanish was created during the sixties to achieve a greater Hispanic audience. This practice was used on TV series, cartoons, and in Walt Disney’s movies. During the 70s, and with the boom of the 80s’ blockbusters, a greater number of American films were translated and consumed into Spanish. The immense impact of these movies influenced Spanish language and the traditional audiovisual translation mode –dubbing– (Rica Peromingo 2019), adapting and domesticating cultural references, filtering calques and false friends (Rica Peromingo, 2016).

THE OXYMORON is study for a 3rd degree Portuguese movie based in real facts. How to explain pedagogically the narrative, morphology and administrative limitations that restrain the production of image/movement objects in Portugal in the last 70 years.Results, discontinuities and formal aestheticization of the Critical/Admiration v. Public/Disgust interaction related with the cinematographic production supported by the Portuguese state.As an analytical study of the sociological, sexual, political, aesthetic and cultural information of Portuguese spirit manifestations in the images/movement socialized by film production in Portugal, it points out the framework of the unique cultural ability in the world to suspend time and postpone consumption with a product/image of high moral suffering that explodes extravagantly in contradictions.THE OXYMORON became an investigation for a film/essay about how the language of Portuguese cinema brought it closer to the effect that paintings produced in the viewer before the appearance of cinema. Using a montage of fragments of Portuguese films, recreation of scenes, re-enactments of movie stories and author perspective account, the film informs us about this offbeat filmography characteristics that became (along with architecture) the main Portuguese cultural export in the 20th century.
A Visual Rhetorical Analysis of Narges Abyar’s 2013 Film Track 143 (Shiyar 143)
Authors: Rahimi Paria , Chaychi Somayyeh
Published: March 2021

As a significant stratum of film audiences, adolescents are often more susceptible to influence by film characters. Motivated by the question of what types of role models are presented to Iranian adolescents via the medium of cinema, we aim to study Narges Abyar’s 2013 film Track 143 (Shiyar 143 2013) to figure out how the rhetorical mechanisms of the film persuade adolescent audiences to identify with the protagonist and imitate the positive aspects of the main character as their role model. To this end, we draw on the visual rhetorical method as our analytical framework and employ Albert Bandura’s notion of observational learning to interpret the data. We hope to identify the rhetorical techniques employed effectively in Track 143 for persuading adolescent girls to follow a female protagonist of their own choosing as their role model. According to our findings, the film does not rely on logos or discursive reasoning. In this sense, the female protagonist overcomes her problems not through her own personal characteristics, which could have been taken up by female adolescent audiences, but through merely random and miraculous incidents.
Dona Maria faz filmes
Authors: Martins Alice Fátima
Published: March 2021

The presence of women as film directors remains very low, two decades after the beginning of the 20th century. In this sense, many publications have been analyzing the issue, taking into account the dynamics of large studios and the absence of women assuming relevant positions in their productions. But in low-budget productions, there are also few women taking the lead of the works. Even in the case of home movies, most of them are made by men. In this scenario, Dona Maria José Silva is an exception to the rule. Housewife, mother of a family, owner of a cheese shop, in Porto, lived a story in which she became a filmmaker with space in the media, recognized by artists of de cinema, in Portugal. In this paper, the main objective is to report aspects of his career, as well as his work. The analysis of the ways in which she produced her films can generate subsidies for adopting strategies aimed at training young women in gaining more spaces to act in key positions in film productions.
Stenocephus janseni sp. nov., a new species of stem-sawfly from Germany (Hymenoptera: Cephidae)
Authors: Liston Andrew , Prous Marko
Published: March 2021

Stenocephus janseni sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) is described from Brandenburg, eastern Germany, known only from the female holotype. It possesses an unusual combination of “generic” morphological characters, which makes its placement in Stenocephus Shinohara, 1999 provisional. Compared to other Stenocephus species, differences in the morphology of the lancet are particularly striking. Genetic data for S. janseni sp. nov. place it unequivocally in the Hartigiini, but rather distantly from other genera of this tribe which have so far been sequenced. The three previously described Stenocephus species are recorded from the East Palaearctic. No genetic data are currently available for these. Pachycephus nigratus Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1931, comb. restit., is no longer treated as belonging to Phylloecus Newman, 1838, but as a member of the genus in which it was originally described.

Authors:   Luzin  Institute  for  Economic  Studies,  Federal  Research  Centre “Kola  Science  Centre  of  Russian Academy of Sciences”, Maretskaya V. N.
Published: March 2021

The relevance of considering the development of organic agriculture in the Russian North is due to the fact that this segment of agriculture has been functioning steadily in many countries for several decades in parallel with traditional agriculture, having a positive impact on many aspects of the society's development. Organic farming contributes to a number of important tasks, being a form of farming that emphasizes the elimination of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming reduced the negative impact on the environment and preserved soil fertility. The production of organic products directly affects the improvement of people’s health, providing the population with high-quality, safe, and healthy food. Organic agriculture provides a wider opportunity to develop small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry, which in modern conditions are not able to compete with the price of large agricultural producers. The opportunities for Russian producers in this area are expanding, and the prospects for our country's entry into the world market of ecologically friendly products appear with the adoption of the law on organic products in Russia in2020. The development of organic agriculture for the regions of the Russian North is an opportunity to generate additional income from the production of ecological, low-transportable products by small and medium-sized businesses, increase employment of the rural population, attract investment in the developing and growing popularity of rural tourism, and preserve and expand activities of the traditional sectors of the indigenous population.The article examines the opportunities and prospects for the development of organic agriculture in one of the regions of the North of Russia —the Murmansk region, based on the analysis of international experience in the organic farming development, the experience of Russian agricultural producers, taking into account the separate legislative regulation that arises in connection with the specifics of relations in the process of allocating organic agriculture as a special direction of agricultural production. It is concluded thatorganic agriculture is one of the most promising areas of diversification of regional and local economies for the Murmansk region, creating potential growth points, especially for remote rural settlements.

In this paper we study the effect of modified metal compounds and boric асid (E), where Element = B, Ti, Zr, Al on the thermal stability of methylphenylsiloxane resins derived from alkoxysilanes. Currently interested in the reaction for producing oligosilsesquioxanes based on acidolysis alkoxysilanes. In this regard, the author was tasked with obtaining new methylphenylsiloxane resins with different properties. In this paper, we study the properties of new methylphenylsiloxane resins (MFSS), modified metal compounds and boric acid. New MFSS obtained by a new universal technology-acidolysis mixture of methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS) and phenyltriethoxysilane (PHTEOS) with various radicals, which are environmentally friendly raw materials. The obtained MFSS were characterized by NMR spectroscopy on 1H and 29Si nuclei. The spectra were recorded at room temperature in deuteroacetone using a Bruker AM-360 Fourier spectrometer. 29Si NMR spectra were measured using the pulse program "Inverse Gated Heteronuclear Decoupling". Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on the device Derivatograph-H (firm Mom). TGA studies were carried out in the argon atmosphere and in air at a heating rate of 10 ºC/min. The acidolysis reaction of methyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane is a convenient and versatile method for the synthesis of new heat-resistant methylphenylsiloxane resins. In the course of the study, it was found that the resins obtained on the basis of organoalkoxysilanes are characterized by higher thermal and thermo-oxidative stability. It is shown that the modification methylphenylsiloxane resin dimethylsiloxane links in the main chain elementlocalname fragments of ≡Si-O-Element-O-Si≡, where element = B, Ti, Zr, Al increases its resistance to the level methylphenylsiloxane resin without dimethylsiloxane links.

Published: March 2021

Special phase diagram points (eutecism, peritectics, co-crystallizates) of double (generally multi-component) mixtures of energy material components characterize the states and properties of mixtures some interest to mixed energy materials. The construction of phase charts in the form of the dependence of melting temperature on the content of components in the mixture is based on experimental data. The Schroeder equation is traditionally used to predict special points (melting and component content at eutecical, peritic, socrystalsitis) and approximation of experimental data. The use of Schroeder's experimental methods and equations is limited by a number of conditions and requirements related to the sodouriability and thermal durability of components and mixtures, the congruence of melting, the kinetic features of melting processes and crystallization. In addition, the use of the Schroeder equation suggests, in general, the presence of experimental data on the temperature and entalpia of melting components and mixtures at special points. Taken together, this determines attempts to predict the properties of mixtures at special points of the lyckued line regarding simple correlations or the use of a modified Schroeder equation in approximation experimental data. This is supposed to use a minimum amount of information for individual components, for example, at melting temperature. By the present time, the positive results of such a hike to determine the ratio of components in double mixtures with one particular point (eutecism) on the lyckeudus line have been published. In this study, new correlations have been obtained for the forecast of the melting rate of double mixtures at special points of the liquidus line containing eutecicism, eutecicism and peritectomy, two eutecics and a point of component co-crystalization. This uses data only on the melting temperature of individual components of mixtures. The resulting high correlation ratios(R) R2  0.94 are consistent with the results of the use of Schroeder equations with the temperature and entalphee of melting components and mixtures. this, the sustainability of the correlations in publications was assessed, while expanding the sample size of components from other classes.

The article describes the synthesis of ammonium salts of maleamic acids containing amino acid fragments. At the first stage, the interaction of maleic anhydride with aliphatic and aromatic amino acids yielded the corresponding maleamic acids. Glycine, α-alanine, ε-aminocaproic, para-aminosalicylic, ortho-, meta- and para-aminobenzoic acids were used as amino acids. In the case of aliphatic amino acids, the process was carried out in an aqueous or aqueous-acetone (2: 1) medium. For aromatic amino acids, acetone was used as a solvent. As weakly exothermic reactions progressed, colorless finely crystalline or light yellow friable precipitates of the corresponding maleamic acids precipitated. In the second stage, the suspension of synthesized maleamic acids in an aqueous medium was treated with a calculated amount of 25% aqueous ammonia solution. With further isothermal evaporation of aqueous solutions, ammonium salts crystallize in the form of hygroscopic colorless prisms or fine crystalline dense precipitates. The structure of the newly obtained compounds was confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. In order to identify the biological activity of the synthesized salts, the effect of their aqueous solutions of various concentrations on the germination energy (GE) and laboratory germination (LG) of the seeds of spring barley cultivar «Elf», winter rye of the «Bezenchukskaya 87» variety and wheat was studied spring varieties «Moskovskaya 35». The determination of GE and LG drug in experimental and control samples showed that 0.01% - 0.001% aqueous solutions have a stimulating effect on seed germination compared to control. The best effect is achieved with pre-sowing seed treatment with 0.01% aqueous solutions of ammonium salts of maleic acids, which allows to increase germination by 9-26%.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 emerges worldwide consideration since their first proving. The knowledge and attitude of all medical personnel play an important role in the effectiveness of infection control policies among medical institutions.
AIM: The study evaluates the knowledge of health care workers (HCWs) about infection control policies at the Egyptian institutions trying to identify the degree of their awareness to deal with such outbreak.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was implemented in public and private hospitals sectors at Cairo, Egypt, through a structured self-administered questionnaire that was delivered to HCWs in the selected hospitals.
RESULTS: A total of 486 physicians working between university, governmental, teaching, private hospitals, and polyclinics submitted their replies. Of whom, 46.9% practiced internal medicine specialty, 35.4% were pediatricians, and only 17.7% specialized in the family medicine. Regarding the overall level of knowledge about infection control and prevention among HCWs, we found that 87.2% of participants reported presence of infection control program at their institutions and about 79% practiced these policies while only 60.5% received some training. Furthermore, we found that 64.2% of the participant did not know which infections are officially reported. There was some variation in response to causes related to the outbreak as 43.8% referred that to shortage of appropriate personnel protective equipment and only 7.4% assigned the carelessness of HCWs. Moreover, the insufficient resources to fulfill the infection control requirements were assigned as a primary factor to spread of infection (71.4%). The electronic surveillance system was believed the most efficient reporting system of infectious agents by staff (83.1%). The study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference of knowledge of infection control among medical staff according to their specialties (p ≤ 0.05). Moreover, there was a significant trend of orientation about infection control toward the highly certificated individuals (having PhD). Furthermore, there was a potential variance between the groups of higher and lower years of experience regarding in their answers about surveillance system institutions (p ≤ 0.05). In addition, there was variation in responses to questions related to various institutions as a higher percent of awareness of the presence of active infection control policy was found at the governmental and university hospitals (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: HCWs had reasonable knowledge about infection control and surveillance during COVID-19 outbreak and we have discovered zones of concern about infection control experience in Egypt which differ between institutions and professions and years of experience.

Authors: Liu Xin , Song Xiaoying , Gao Wei , Zou Li , Romero Álvaro Labella
Published: March 2021

Credibility reasoning has attracted a lot of attention due to its distinguished power and efficiency in representing uncertainty and vagueness within the process of reasoning and decision making. Aiming at the problem of inaccurate credibility estimation in uncertainty reasoning and making experts to express hesitant preferences better in evaluation reasoning process, this paper introduces hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set into credibility uncertainty reasoning. First, we propose hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility (HLCF), and establish the knowledge representation model of the hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility. Then, in order to solve the problem of incomplete information in the evaluation reasoning process, an information complement algorithm based on maximum similarity is constructed. After that, the algorithms of single rule and multiple rules of parallel relationship of hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility are proposed to enrich the reasoning rule base and get more accurate reasoning results. The closeness degrees between the conclusions of each alternative after reasoning and the expected value are calculated, so as to select the most suitable alternative. Finally, a practical example which concerned the social risk analysis is given to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Published: March 2021

Setting up an eye tracking experiment involves multitier processes that cover important issues such as developing the data collection guidelines, establishing data analysis protocols, and giving meaning to data. Although eye tracking handbooks have established imperative discussion on how the data should be analysed and written, there is still a dearth in the literature on data collection guidelines caused by the variety of features in different kinds of eye trackers. In this study, the researchers review the use of a wearable eye tracking apparatus with authentic materials and interview protocols. Exemplified through a preliminary study conducted on Year Six students in a primary school that investigates the internal processes of reading ESL texts, the significance and implications of using a wearable eye-tracking apparatus with a single point calibration are reported to improve the data collection guidelines. Relatedly, considerations for research procedures and instrument designs are also made in this paper.

Published: March 2021

Mobile telephony networks have seen a high rate of adoption worldwide in recent years. However, these networks do not exist everywhere, and even where they are, their adoption is lagging. Especially in uncovered rural areas, it is difficult to predict the technology's acceptance and adoption factors. This study deals with the usage gap of mobile telephone networks and attempts in a methodological approach based on structural equation modeling to prevent the telephone usage gap in rural Africa yet to be covered. To that purpose, the authors use a research model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). By combining these two models and incorporating the moderating effects of demographic variables such as age, gender, education, and experience of technology use, this paper has retained a model with the ability to determine how rural residents will accept and use future networks.

In the modern communication and computation era, internet of things (IoT) is developing as the key technology that satisfies the requirements of various applications. Prolonging device lifetime and maintaining network reliability is the evident objective for IoT network. Therefore, the authors come up with the network architecture that integrates node placement technique and routing technique. In the architecture, node placement is implemented by varying the density of nodes, by varying battery level of nodes, and by varying transmission range of nodes. Energy efficient and reliable path computation is addressed by routing technique. Therefore, enhancing the features of routing and node placement technique and integrating them together in network architecture can efficiently prolong the network lifetime. From the results, the authors observed that the proposed network architecture prolongs the network lifetime two times better than the standard model and also outperforms EQSR protocol and maintains the reliable data transfer.
A New Social Volunteer Computing Environment With Task-Adapted Scheduling Policy (TASP)
Authors: Kadache Nabil , Seghir Rachid
Published: March 2021

Volunteer computing (VC) has become a relatively mature technique of distributed computing. It is based on exploiting the idle time of ordinary online machines with the consent of their owners. Target applications are generally scientific projects requiring a huge amount of computational resources. Existing VC platforms raise several challenges. This work attempts to bring solutions for two defeats. The first one is the involvement of volunteers; the decreasing of participants affects the global performances. To cope with this, a new social volunteer computing environment is proposed in order to involve more volunteers. The second addressed problem is the task scheduling, which aims to optimize the use of resources. The proposed algorithm generates for each resource's class, a number of tasks whose cost of execution reflects the momentary capacity of the resources. The new solutions are validated through a theory of number's project, called “Collatz Conjecture.”

In recent years, with the growing expansion of the recruitment scale and the further reform in teaching, how to use the limited teacher resources and the limited classroom resources to schedule a reasonable university course timetable has gotten great interest. In this paper, the authors firstly hashed over the university course timetabling problem, and then they presented the related mathematical model and constructed the relevant solution framework. Subsequently, in view of characteristics of the university course timetabling problem, they introduced genetic algorithm to solve the university course timetabling problem and proposed many improvement strategies which include the three-dimensional coding strategy, the fitness function design strategy, the initial population generation strategy, the population dominance strategy, the adaptive crossover probability strategy, and the adaptive mutation probability strategy to optimize genetic algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed genetic algorithm can solve the university course timetabling problem effectively.

Published: March 2021

Regarding the process of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), existing failure location methods are reactive in nature, while process parameters and performance cannot be predicted to achieve a high level of operational excellence. Designated PCB designs are not customized for specific manufacturing sites, while process performance becomes uncertain to clients and manufacturers. In this paper, an intelligent manufacturing performance predictive framework (IMPPF) is proposed in this paper, which structures the predictive engineering analytics for the smart manufacturing. First, the data collection from the PCBA process is structured by means of multi-responses Taguchi method, which guarantees the data reliability and quality. Second, the artificial neural network is adopted to learn from the existing operational data so as to provide the prediction on machine settings and process performance at the Gerber drawing stage. The contribution of this study is mainly to establish a closed-loop framework to facilitate the predictive engineering analytics for achieving re-industrialization.

Authors: Miller H. Catherine , Liu Vincent X. , Prescott Hallie C.
Published: March 2021

Background

Existing sepsis quality improvement initiatives focus on recognition and treatment of sepsis upon hospital admission. Yet many patients are evaluated in the clinic within 1 day of sepsis hospitalization.

Objectives

To determine the circumstances of clinic visits that precede sepsis hospitalization, including illness severity, whether patients are referred to the hospital, and time lapse and change in illness severity between clinic and hospital evaluation.

Methods

In a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary academic medical center, data from electronic medical records were collected for all adult patients evaluated in an outpatient clinic within 1 day of sepsis hospitalization in 2017.

Results

Of 1450 patients hospitalized with sepsis, 118 had an established outpatient provider and a clinic visit within 1 day of admission and thus were included. During the clinic visit, 47 patients (39.8%) had a quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score ≥1, and 59 (50.0%) had vital sign abnormalities. Most (74, 62.7%) were sent directly to the emergency department or hospital. Upon emergency department/hospital presentation, 62 patients (52.5%) had a worsening qSOFA score and/ or vital signs and 27 (22.9%) had worsening of multiple parameters. Median time lapse from clinic to emergency department/hospital evaluation was 3.2 hours.

Conclusions

One in 10 patients hospitalized for sepsis had been evaluated in a clinic within 1 day of admission. At that clinic visit, most patients had an elevated qSOFA score or abnormal vital signs and a majority were sent directly to the emergency department/hospital. Half experienced clinical deterioration between the clinic visit and arrival in the emergency department/hospital.

Vaccination is a well-established means for prevention and spread of disease in people traveling abroad. Although vaccines to diseases such as cholera are recommended by world health agencies, they are seldom required even when traveling to endemic regions. Consequences of noncompliance can affect traveler’s health and spread diseases to new regions, as occurred in Haiti in 2010 when United Nations peacekeepers from Nepal, where a cholera outbreak was underway, introduced the disease to the region. Steps to increase vaccine recommendation compliance should therefore be an integral part of vaccine development. PXVX0200 contains Center for Vaccine Development 103-HgR live, attenuated recombinant Vibrio cholerae vaccine strain, and is indicated for single-dose immunization against the bacteria that causes cholera. It is supplied as one buffer and one active component packet to be mixed into water and ingested. Administration instructions are designed to be “user friendly” with flexibility for self-administration, thus promoting compliance. Studies to support self-administration were conducted to cover stability of the vaccine outside of normal storage conditions, potency in case of misadministration, and disposal procedures to minimize environmental impact. The principal findings showed that the stability of vaccine was maintained under conditions allowing for transport times and temperature conditions as well as when misadministration errors were made. Finally, the vaccine was effectively neutralized with hot water and soap to prevent bacterial environmental contamination in the event of an accidental spill. The conclusion is that PXVX0200 oral vaccine is stable, easy to formulate and dispose of, and is amenable to self-administration.

The lifestyle of adolescents who migrate to work and college will largely determine their future. Concerns about economic conditions can cause problems with their behavior. This research has aimed to explore the most influential factors on Financial Behavior among graduate students in Indonesia. The Primary data collected by distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale. There are 239 samples have collected based on the combination of purposive and convenience sampling methods. The study used descriptive statistical techniques and path analysis techniques for data analysis. Based on path analysis results, study findings indicate that there is a significant influence of financial knowledge on financial self-efficacy; financial self-efficacy and financial knowledge on financial behavior; financial attitude and financial self-efficacy on financial behavior but there is no significant influence of financial knowledge on financial behavior. The study results also showed that adolescent habits are still not good but can be improved through education such as character education and achievement of a better motivation to deal with economic problems. The study recommended that the good habits can be passed on to friends of his age, especially adolescents so they can have a good future.
