The Constitutional Hurdles to Exercise Secession Right and Arguments on its Inclusion in the Ethiopian Constitution
Authors: Shambel Teshale
Published: December 2020

The right to self-determination is one of the human rights enshrined under the Ethiopian constitution. It is also one of the rights mentioned under ICCPR and ICESCR as well as the constitutions of different countries. Being unique to many other human rights instruments and constitutions in the world, the Ethiopian constitution includes the unconditional right to secession as a part of self-determination for every one of the ethnic groups (nations, nationalities, and people) in the country. As argued among many scholars, the inclusion of unconditional secession as a part of self-determination right in the Ethiopian constitution was based on the wrong narrative that nations, nationalities and people in the country were oppressed. Thus, it is a point of political debate between elites and became the major cause of widening the divergence among views of different political parties in the country. Of course, within the constitution, there are hurdles that can potentially deny exercising of this right. Therefore, this study qualitatively analyses the impracticability of secession and unacceptability of narratives to its inclusion in the constitution of the federal democratic republic of Ethiopia.
Advocating for the Protection of Rights of Children and Women in Nigeria: An Appraisal
Authors: Umejiaku Nneka
Published: December 2020

The protection of children and women in Nigeria is very critical because their integration in every sphere is a precedent to the growth and development of nations. However, they face diverse discrimination and violence because they are very vulnerable. The object of this study is to examine the rights of children and women by x-raying the various legal and institutional frameworks that provide for their rights, as well as dangers posed by taking their rights for granted. The work analyses factors that inhibit their protection and proffers a viable solution. In this paper, we adopt the doctrinal and empirical methods of legal research. The study discovers that despite a legion of legislation, children and women are exposed to many factors such as legal, social, economic, and obnoxious cultural practices. Further, the work reveals that inherent lapses are visible in our legal framework particularly the 1999 Constitution (as amended), Child‘s Rights Act and other relevant legislation. Accordingly, the work recommends for the eradication of factors that promote child and women abuse and review of relevant laws. The work further recommends for a serious synergy between the government and non-governmental organizations for the protection of children and women.
Comparative Legal Research-Building a Legal Attitude for a Transnational World
Authors: Ali Muhammad Imran
Published: December 2020

Comparative Legal Research (CLR) is a valuable tool for legal research because it expands the history of community experience. Understanding basic knowledge in different systems fills the knowledge gap. However, the principles of globalization and universal human rights require a greater role for systematic CLR. This article analyzes the role of comparative legal research in contemporary legal education. The discussion is based on the idea that it is useful to distinguish between the education of lawyers and the conduct of comparative legal research. Comparative law is a successful field of study that has ignited a growing interest in academic and legal education in recent decades. It is proposed to pay more attention to the comparative pedagogy of legal research in today's world, where law students must be prepared to function in a global context. While comparative academic research, the goal is to foster a deep cultural understanding of foreign law, but in legal education, the goal is to learn the spirit as an advocate. This article provides an overview of the key conceptual tools to tackle the problem of the comparative methodology by introducing the logical argument to help the researcher to filter his approach. A literature review method will adopt for this article.
Legal Barriers and Quality Compliance in the Business of Biofertilizers and Biopesticides in India
Authors: Arjjumend Hasrat , Koutouki Konstantia
Published: December 2020

Biofertilizers and biopesticides (together known as ‘biologicals’) hold the potential to increase farmers’ current agricultural productivity, while at the same time contributing to the soil’s ability to produce more in the future. However, the legal registration of microbial products and the operation of businesses dealing in biologicals face certain barriers, which ultimately affect the expansion and widespread use of these green products in Indian agriculture. By involving manufacturers, suppliers and traders of biologicals, as well as government officers dealing with biologicals in India, a study was conducted using participatory methods of semi-structured interviews, structured interviews and informal discussions. This article explores the participants’ perceptions and understanding of the barriers, obstacles and issues in the registration, licensing, proliferation and business operations surrounding the manufacturing, sale, trade, import, export, storage, use, and transport of microbial products. Numerous barriers to business and trade in microbial green products – biofertilizers and biopesticides – are identified. Nevertheless, certain weaknesses related to quality compliance and monitoring are also identified on the part of the manufacturers and suppliers of these biologicals, indicating that the government’s regulatory system must be more efficient and competent in handling these processes.
The Theory of Forms Without Substance a Romanian Legal Transplant Theory Ahead of its Time
Authors: Roghină Răzvan Cosmin
Published: December 2020

Comparative law and legal history show us that law is dynamic, always in continuous development, change, or mutation. This dynamic dimension has become a central concern for the comparative law scholars. The circulation of legal models in the world (e.g. legal transplant, legal transfer, legal borrowing, legal migration) is an evergreen issue. This phenomenon has provoked numerous doctrinal disputes, which have been encapsulated in complex theories on its possibilities and impossibilities. In the present article, we will not explore the many modern theories regarding legal transplantation (or under other metaphors). Instead, we will go back in time, in the second half of the nineteenth century, to explore an interesting Romanian theory that seems to have anticipated a series of modern ideas regarding the purpose, possibilities, and impossibilities of the circulation of legal models in the world. Following this approach, the main conclusion will be resumed to the idea that the Romanian theory of forms without substance can be integrated within the modern theories of legal transplant.

Published: December 2020

Introduction

Marek’s disease (MD) is a tumourous disease caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) and most commonly described in poultry. The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of Marek’s disease virus infections in Poland and analyse clinical cases in the years 2015–2018.

Material and Methods

The birds for diagnostic examination originated from 71 poultry flocks of various types of production. Birds were subjected to anatomopathological examination post mortem, during which liver and spleen sections and other pathologically changed internal organs were taken. These sections were homogenised with generally accepted methods, then total DNA was isolated and amplified with a real-time PCR. A pair of primers complementary to the MDV genome region encoding the meq gene were used.

Results

MDV infection was found predominantly in broiler chicken flocks (69.01%), and also in layer breeder (9.85%) and commercial layer flocks (7.04% each).

Conclusion

The results of research conducted in the years 2015–2018 clearly indicate that the problem of MDV infections is still current.
Transhistorical Dialogue Concerning Images: Baltrušaitis and Kircher
Authors: Žukauskienė Odeta
Published: December 2020

The article explores the works of Jurgis Baltrušaitis on depraved perspectives. In particular, it examines his references to Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher in the books dedicated to anamorphoses, aberrations, Egyptomania and distorting mirror’s reflections. The paper questions what led Baltrušaitis to the dialogue with the German visionary. The close reading of Baltrušaitis works reveals that in Kircher’s pre-modern thinking the art historian found those domains of between-the-two, communalities of art and science, art and nature, art and social imaginary that have become more important in postmodernist period. Kircher’s treatises, previously uninterpreted in the context of art history, encouraged the development of the broader studies of images focused on visual phenomena that remained for a long time outside the autonomous field of art history. Without privileging an aesthetic and evolutionary approach in art history, Baltrušaitis’ works reveal anthropological and ontological dimensions of images. They disclose that the image is always related to visual experience and imagination, which takes us beyond the horizon of reality.
Laibach and the Performance of Historical European Trauma
Authors: Bell Simon
Published: December 2020

This paper reflects a study in how the Slovenian Performance Art collective the NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst), and more specifically its sub-group Laibach, functioned as a ‘Memory machine’ in re-enacting historical European trauma in an apparent re-staging of the totalitarian ritual. In this way, Laibach demonstrate history as a contemporary active political agency of Eastern and Central Europe.

Shaped by the break-up of Yugoslavia, the NSK was a multi-disciplinary Gesamtkunstwerk primarily comprising three groups: IRWIN (visual arts), Noordung (theatre), and its most influential delivery system, Laibach (music). Championed by Slavoj Žižek, Laibach are Slovenia’s most famous cultural export, and are widely considered Europe’s most controversial music group. In 2017, Laibach caused further controversy for being the first ‘Western’ group to play North Korea.

With the strategy of Retrogardism, an aesthetic system unique to Eastern European aesthetic praxis, Laibach and the NSK re-mythologised totalitarian iconography associated with Nazi Kunst and Socialist Realism, which contemporary capitalism can only relate to as offensive kitsch.
From Visuality to Visibility: Regime, Capital, Media
Authors: Gaižutytė-Filipavičienė Žilvinė
Published: December 2020

Visibility is a capacity to be seen by others directly or through images and can be defined as a total social fact, which includes different domains of collective life. As Italian sociologist Andrea Mubi Brighenti argues, visibility is a form of “visuality at large” and the visible entails more than the visual, more than the sensorially perceptible, which becomes clear when we consider the fact that the visual itself needs to be visibilised, and examine the ways in which this happens. In the last decades visibility in a social sphere and media was largely “capitalised”. According to French sociologist Nathalie Heinich, the visibility capitalis firmly entrenched within Western society, culture and media. Non-material capital of visibility differs from other non-material symbolical or cultural capitals in Bourdieusian sense. This new phenomenon includes all features of classical material capital. The capital of visibility is measurable, accumulated, transmissible, earning interest and convertible. It can be measured by number of fans, showing results in Google search, number of views in YouTube, number of followers in social media Instagram, Facebook or number of images in other mass media.

The cult of celebrity, the aspiration for visibility, and widespread practices of seeing within contemporary visual culture touched on many important social, political, cultural and intellectual spheres. Celebrity culture that arose out of the cinema industry underwent significant transformations, penetrated into existing social structures, fields and institutions. Visibility deeply changes cultural and intellectual life, influences our values and attitudes. The regime of visibility transforms social stratification by creating celebrities as a new social category called media elite. These persons are isolated from their original environment and placed in a context with its own logic and rules. These issues will be analysed using examples from the sphere of creative and cultural industries.
The Appropriation of the Husserlian Meaning of the Transcendental by Hermeneutic Phenomenology
Authors: Ferreira Acylene Maria Cabral
Published: December 2020

Our goal is to investigate the extent of the appropriation, by hermeneutic phenomenology, of the concept of transcendental at work in descriptive psychology, where it plays the role of a universal principle of the constitutive genesis of intentionality. We aim to clarify how the very mode of operation of Husserlian phenomenology is crucial to the elaboration of fundamental ontology. Our hypothesis is that intentionality leads Heidegger to the discovery of time as a transcendental principle, of being as an a priori, and of comprehensibility that enables the signification of entities in general as a previous structure of the a priori.
Why Relativity Needs Phenomenology? Eidetic-Relativistic Kinesthetics and Temporality in Husserl, Weyl and Einstein
Authors: Mastrobisi Giorgio Jules
Published: December 2020

This paper claims that there is an epistemological evidence of an unavoidable gap between purely formal sciences (sciences of essences) and the empirical sciences for which they provide the foundation. A second key theme is the way that all empirical sciences are grounded in a pure science of essences. At the same time, I endeavour to explain how the insights Weyl gleaned from Husserl played an important role in his scientific work, and to show how Einstein’s major work exhibit important parallels to Weyl’s work, thereby establishing phenomenology both as an indirect historical influence and a systematic underpinning for Einstein’s work in theoretical physics. In so doing, this paper seeks to show how some of the most basic problems that Einstein addresses have a kinship not just to problems addressed in a completely different context by Husserl and his circle, but also to perennial problems in ontology and epistemology that go back to Kant, Hume and Leibniz. The conclusion highlights how phenomenology influenced Einstein, but also how Einstein’s work on relativity had an important influence on the work of the most important phenomenologist of the twentieth century, namely Husserl in his Crisis of European Sciences.
Ultrafiltration treatment of wastewater contained heavy metals complexed with palygorskite
Authors: Ren Jun , Cao Tianyi , Yang Xin , Tao Ling
Published: December 2020

Palygorskite was applied in complexation-ultrafiltration treatment of heavy metals in wastewater under different pH and ionic strength. The results indicated that the rejection of heavy metals increased significantly with pH value, and decreased slightly with an increase of ionic strength of Na+ and Cl–. A certain concentration of NaCl significantly reduced the rejection rate of Cu2+. The rejection of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ could reach over 86.8%, 93.6% and 93.7% at pH of 7 and 0.1 mol/L NaCl. The rejection of heavy metals was severely affected by low molecular weight competing complexing agents and the effect of sodium tartrate was greater than triethanolamine. In the presence of sodium tartrate, the rejection of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ could arrive over 81.4%, 57.6% and 60.5% at pH of 7 in 20 min. Palygorskite was offered a potential complexing agent for the removal of heavy metals in wastewater at the complexation-ultrafiltration process.
Role of different lignin systems in polymers: mechanical properties and thermal stability
Authors: Hasan Gvlmira , Musajan Dilhumar , Hou Gong-bo , He Mingyu , Li Ying , Yimit Mamatjan
Published: December 2020

Lignin was used to study the mechanical properties and thermal stability of polymers. The lignin was blended with three kinds of polymers, and the addition of lignin was 0.5 wt%. Under the condition of thermal oxidation, the thermal stability of lignin/polymer samples varies with the structure of lignin. The effects of lignin on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the polymers were investigated by oxidation induction time (OIT), rheological properties, mechanical properties and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the effect of lignin on the thermal properties of polymer samples is 2~3°C. It can be inferred that lignin can effectively improve the interaction between polymer molecular chain segments, and improve the crystallization rate and rigidity to a certain extent, so it can be seen that lignin has good compatibility and thermal stability.
Reduction and Biosorption of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solutions by Acid-Modified Guava Seeds: Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies
Authors: Ortíz-Gutiérrez Marel , Alfaro-Cuevas-Villanueva Ruth , Martínez-Miranda Verónica , Hernández-Cristóbal Orlando , Cortés-Martínez Raúl
Published: December 2020

The use of guava seeds (GS) and acid-modified guava seeds (MGS) for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions was investigated. Batch-type experiments were performed with Cr(VI) aqueous solutions and biosorbents to determine the kinetic and equilibrium sorption parameters. Results indicated that GS and MGS were capable of reducing and remove Cr(VI) from solutions, but the reduction was only observed at some experimental conditions. Infrared analysis showed that several functional groups were involved in the reduction, and biosorption of Cr(VI), particularly alcohol, phenolic, carboxylic, and methoxymethyl structures. The mechanisms of reduction and biosorption depended upon the type of biosorbent, pH, and temperature of the system. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model describes the kinetic sorption data, and the Langmuir-Freundlich (L-F) model describes the isotherm data in most cases. Significantly high total chromium biosorption capacities were obtained. Acid modification of guava seeds improves chromium biosorption performance.

Published: December 2020

Background

One of the greatest neuro-oncological concern remains the lack of knowledge about the etiopathogenesis and physiopathology of gliomas. Several studies reported a strict correlation between radiological features and biological behaviour of gliomas; in this way the velocity of diametric expansion (VDE) correlate with lower grade glioma aggressiveness. However, there are no the same strong evidences for high grade gliomas (HGG) because of the lack of several preoperative MRI.

Patients and methods

We describe a series of 4 patients affected by HGG followed from 2014 to January 2019. Two patients are male and two female; two had a pathological diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM), one of anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and one had a neuroradiological diagnosis of GBM. The VDE and the acceleration time (AT) was calculated for fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) volume and for the enhancing nodule (EN). Every patients underwent sequential MRI study along a mean period of 413 days.

Results

Mean VDE evaluated on FLAIR volume was 39.91 mm/year. Mean percentage ratio between peak values and mean value of acceleration was 282.7%. Median appearance time of EN after first MRI scan was 432 days. Mean VDE was 45.02 mm/year. Mean percentage ratio between peak values and mean value of acceleration was 257.52%.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this is the first report on VDE and acceleration growth in HGG confirming their strong aggressiveness. In a case in which we need to repeat an MRI, time between consecutive scans should be reduced to a maximum of 15–20 days and surgery should be executed as soon as possible.

Published: December 2020

Objectives

The long-term outcomes of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-related protein-losing enter-opathy (PLE) are unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with SLE-related PLE.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study enrolled 58 patients with SLE-related PLE who were admitted to our center from January 2000 to June 2016. The patients’ baseline characteristics and follow-up data were analyzed, and the prognostic outcomes were survival and disease flares. The prognoses were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests, and Cox regression models. Factors with values of P<0.05 were considered potential predictors.

Results

Two-thirds of patients had intestinal symptoms, and 77.6% of patients had concomitant organ/system involvement, including serositis (77.6%), lupus nephritis (57.6%), neuropsychiatric lupus (10.3%), and hematological disorders (22.4%). Common abnormalities in the laboratory test results were hypocomplementemia (87.9%), anti-Sjögren syndrome antigen A antibodies (51.7%), and high total cholesterol levels (62.1%). Five flares were recorded in 47 patients. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 93.6%, 91.3%, and 88.4%, respectively. Infection was the cause of death in 60% of patients. High 24-hour urine protein level was an independent risk factor associated with death (P = 0.012). Severe hypoalbuminemia (<12 g/L) was a predictor of disease flares in SLE-related PLE (hazard ratio, 10.345; 95% confidence interval, 1.690–63.321).

Conclusions

Infection causes most of the deaths in patients with SLE-related PLE. High 24-hour urine protein level is an independent risk factor associated with death, and severe hypoalbuminemia is a predictor of disease flares.

Authors: Fontes Tânia , Correia Ricardo , Ribeiro Joel , Borges José Luís
Published: December 2020

This work apply a deep learning artificial neural network model – the Multilayer Perceptron – as a regression model to estimate the demand of bus passengers. Transit bus ridership and weather conditions were collected over a year from a medium-size European metropolitan area and linked under the assumption: individuals choose the travel mode based on the weather conditions that are observed during (a) the departure hour, (b) the hour before or (c) two hours prior to the travel start. The transit ridership data were also labelled according to the hour of the day, day of the week, month, and whether there was a strike and/or holiday or not. The results show that the prediction error of the model decrease by ~9% when the weather conditions observed two hours before travel start is taken into account. The model sensitivity analyses reveals that the worst performance is obtained for a strike day of a weekday in spring (typically Wednesdays or Thursdays).

The Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University is one of the faculties in Udayana University. The Faculty of Engineering has 5 departments that have a lot of interest. Currently, the Faculty of Engineering is preparing to support Udayana University in obtaining the Asean University Network - Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) certification which is targeted for a visitation in 2021. One of the supporters in obtaining this certification is that the Faculty of Engineering must have a performance measurement system. In this research using an integrated performance measurement system that designed through the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria For Performance Excellent (Education Criteria) approach which is integrated with several methods, namely IPMS in determining the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) which becomes a determining indicator of later performance. assisted by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in giving the weight of each KPI. After the KPI has a weight, then a comprehensive scoring is carried out using the Objectives Matrix (OMAX) method so that an index number per period is generated which is the reference for the level of performance of the department, as well as a Traffic Light System (TLS) to find out which KPIs require improvement based on color. With the creation of an integrated performance measurement system, it is hoped that the Faculty of Engineering can make continuous improvements. The results showed that the Performance Indicator from the Faculty of Engineering in this period was 427.19 with 24 KPIs being measured. The Performance Indicator shows that the overall performance of the Faculty of Engineering is above average (300). Only 2 categories are in the red zone of 21%, namely Student Criteria (KPI 1 and KPI 4) and Management Criteria (KPI 18, KPI 19, and KPI 20). In the following year, the Faculty of Engineering must focus on the five KPIs so that later they can improve performance.

ПАНОРАМА РОССИЙСКО-КИТАЙСКОЙ ТОРГОВЛИ
И ВЛИЯНИЕ ПАНДЕМИИ COVID-19
Authors: Намжилова В. О.
Published: December 2020

В статье рассматривается динамика развития российско-китайской торговли, расширению которой способствует целый ряд факторов, включая снижение взаимных торговых ограничений, действие антироссийских торговых санкций со стороны западных стран, реализацию совместных проектов в энергетике. Автор отмечает, что при сохранении очевидного приоритета сотрудничества в нефтегазовой сфере идёт работа по диверсификации экспорта в части его неэнергетического сектора, а именно – развития экспортного потенциала отечест-венного агропромышленного комплекса. Динамичной сферой российско-китайских торговых отношений становится международная торговля услугами, что обусловлено бурным развитием туризма и ростом взаимного коммерческого присутствия. Однако в ситуацию вносит коррективы распространение новой коронавирусной инфекции (COVID-19). Обстановка высокой степени неопределённости в мире, где постепенно большинству стран пришлось прибегнуть к чрезвычайным мерам, закрывая государственные границы, приостанавливая производство, вводя серьёзные ограничения перемещения и тотальный контроль, уже негативно сказалась на ряде направлений двусторонней торговли.
Ключевые слова: российско-китайская торговля, внешнеторговый баланс, структурные сдвиги, активное сальдо, торговля услугами, экспорт энергоносителей, поставки сельхозпродукции, импорт продукции машиностроения, удвоение товарооборота, пандемия COVID-19.

The article examines the dynamics of Russian-Chinese trade development, the expansion of which is facilitated by a number of factors, including the reduction of mutual trade restrictions, the effect of economic sanctions against Russia, and the implementation of joint projects in the energy sector. The author notes that while maintaining the obvious priority of cooperation in the oil and gas sector, work on export diversification has tended in terms of its non-energy sector, namely, to develop the export potential of the domestic agro-industrial complex. Due to the rapid development of tourism and the growth of business activity international trade in services becomes a dynamic sphere of Russian-Chinese trade relations. However, the situation is being corrected by the spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The high degree of uncertainty in the world, where gradually most countries had to resort to emergency measures, closing state borders, suspending production, imposing severe restrictions on movement and total control, has already negatively affected a number of areas of bilateral trade.
Keywords: Russian-Chinese trade, foreign trade balance, structural shifts, trade surplus, services trade, energy exports, agricultural supplies, import of mechanical engi-neering products, mutual trade doubling, the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effect of Vibration on Surface Roughness in Finish Turning: Simulation Study
Authors: Kang W. T. , Derani M. N. , Ratnam M. M.
Published: December 2020

This paper presents the results of simulation analyses carried out to investigate the effect of adding controlled vibration of varying amplitudes and frequencies onto simulated workpiece profiles on surface roughness. The surface profiles were generated using the nose edge image of a real cutting tool insert at various stages of wear. The invariant moment sub-pixel edge detection method was used to extract the precise tool nose profile. The extracted nose profile was duplicated 20 times to generate the simulated workpiece profile. Vibration signals in the form of sine waves of amplitudes 0 to 50 % of the peak-to-valley height of the original workpiece profile and various frequencies were added to the simulated profile. Noise signals emanating from real machining were also added to the original profile to investigate their effect on roughness. The simulation study has shown that average roughness may increase continuously or fluctuate randomly depending on the magnitude of vibration added to the vibration-free workpiece profile. In the absence of vibration, the surface roughness of the workpiece decreases due to flattening effect of the tool nose during early stages of tool wear.
Structural Parameters Optimization for a Proportional Solenoid
Authors: Yu Y. X. , Ke S. D. , Jin K. D.
Published: December 2020

This paper presents an optimization method for the structural parameters of a proportional solenoid. The 3D finite element method simulation model for performance analyse of proportional solenoid was validated by force-displacement characteristic experiment. Parameter sensitivity analysis results showed that the displacement of the armature, the length of the armature, the radius of the armature, the width of the first half of the sleeve and the angle of the magnetic-isolated ring have significant effects on the electromagnetic force. Key structural parameters were optimized according to the simulation results. Experiments results showed the average electromagnetic force was increased by 20.1 % and the effective stroke was extended to 2.1 mm.
A influência da gramática espanhola na Marcação Diferencial de Objeto no português diacrônico
Authors: Pires Aline Jéssica
Published: December 2020

A Marcação Diferencial de Objeto (MDO) consiste em marcar o objeto direto com uma preposição. Em português, a MDO ocorre apenas com a preposição dativa A. O presente artigo examina casos de objetos diretos marcados em português diacrônico. Nosso principal objetivo é verificar a hipótese bastante difundida sobre a influência espanhola na ocorrência da MDO em português. Para atingir esse objetivo, analisamos textos portugueses de dois corpora selecionados. Investigamos fatores apontados como desencadeadores da MDO (BOSSONG, 1991): o traço semântico da animacidade, definitude e especificidade. Para confirmar se os casos de MDO encontrados em dados diacrônicos do português foram influenciados pelo espanhol e atestar quando, na história da língua, o fenômeno diminuiu, analisamos dados dos séculos XVI a XIX. Para atestar se a MDO que ocorre no português e no espanhol é a mesma, comparamos dados marcados e não marcados dos séculos XVI e XVII. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese da influência espanhola, embora a distribuição do MDO não seja a mesma no português e no espanhol dos séculos aqui analisados. Em português, os casos de objetos não marcados são mais frequentes que os casos de MDO.
O Reisado de Mestra Mazé
Authors: Monteiro Ricardo Nogueira de Castro
Published: December 2020

O artigo tem por objetivo investigar os processos de construção de sentido em uma apresentação do Reisado de Mestra Mazé ocorrida a 22/09/2017 em Crato. A análise do texto sincrético, cujo plano da expressão articula elementos sonoros, visuais e tácteis, é pautada por três questões: 1) a eventual presença de uma estrutura formal que garanta a unidade narrativa do espetáculo; 2) quais procedimentos responderiam pelas construções identitárias e de alteridade no folguedo; 3) quais as estratégias de construção do efeito de sentido de tradição inerente a um texto percebido como imemorial. A metodologia utilizada parte da semiótica de Greimas e colaboradores, detendo-se na questão das comutações entre categorias da expressão e do conteúdo, bem como sua suspensão – o sincretismo de Hjelmslev. Conclui-se pela presença de uma forma responsável pela unidade do espetáculo, e procede-se à sua descrição. Detalham-se ainda procedimentos de construção de sentido de identidade e alteridade, apontando-se mecanismos interdiscursivos responsáveis pelo efeito de sentido de pertinência à tradição. Pondera-se por fim a respeito da necessidade de avanço da semiótica no estudo de textos sincréticos performáticos tradicionais, tanto pelos desafios epistemológicos para os estudos semióticos e das linguagens verbais e não-verbais como pela importância cultural de seu objeto.
Humor e argumentação na fala da criança
Authors: Vieira Alessandra Jacqueline , Del Ré Alessandra
Published: December 2020

A partir de uma perspectiva dialógico-discursiva (BAKHTIN, 1997, 1995; SALAZAR-ORVIG, 1999, 2010; FRANÇOIS, 1994, 2009; DEL RÉ; MENDONÇA; DE PAULA, 2014a e 2014b), que leva em consideração os movimentos discursivos, os contextos situacionais, a interação entre a criança e o outro, o diálogo entre discursos etc., pretende-se, neste trabalho, investigar de que modo a argumentação e o humor estão relacionados na fala da criança, a partir da ruptura/incongruência que ocorre no diálogo, analisando os enunciados produzidos por duas crianças brasileiras (G. e S., entre 24 e 42 meses), monolíngues, filmadas em situação de interação com os pais e em contextos naturalísticos e cotidianos. Os resultados iniciais mostram que o contra-argumento, em especial, tem um papel importante, considerando que é no momento de uma oposição ao argumento trazido à tona por um dos interlocutores que um tipo de incongruência/ruptura parece surgir no enunciado e pode ser resolvida de forma lúdica e divertida.
A aquisição das regras conversacionais
Authors: Diedrich Marlete Sandra , Roque Júlia Iaione
Published: December 2020

Este estudo se ocupa da aquisição das regras de conversação pela criança em sua vivência interacional com os demais sujeitos. Concebe-se a aquisição das regras da conversação pela criança a partir de valores simbólicos que afetam o modo como ela se relaciona com a língua e com o outro. A língua é concebida como prática social, sendo que as condições de produção se relacionam com as questões linguísticas. São questões desta investigação: Como a criança, desde muito cedo (3 anos e 5 meses), estabelece uma dinâmica interacional com os demais sujeitos de seu convívio? Qual o papel do outro nessa relação? Como se dá a apropriação dos elementos linguísticos nessa dinâmica? Para buscar respostas a essas questões, ilustra-se a pesquisa com a análise de um dado de uma criança de 3 anos e 5 meses, dado que faz parte do Banco do grupo NALíngua. A análise indica que a criança ativa conhecimentos anteriormente partilhados, em outras interações, para ocupar seu espaço de dizer nas novas situações conversacionais. Assim, os elementos linguísticos são atualizados a cada nova interação, na vivência, por parte da criança, de um trabalho colaborativo de construção da conversação, evidenciado nas negociações no estabelecimento do sentido.
