Published: January 2019

A Terapia Ocupacional objetiva que as pessoas e grupos sociais tenham a oportunidade de se envolverem nas ocupações desejadas e/ou necessárias para a sua saúde, bem estar e inclusão social. Objetivou-se compreender como as concepções de Paulo Freire tem se relacionado com a Terapia Ocupacional no contexto brasileiro. Revisão integrativa da literatura que analisou tematicamente 37 artigos publicados de 2000 a 2016, que citaram pelo menos uma obra do educador como referência bibliográfica. Observa-se, temporalmente, aumento progressivo das citações, sendo Pedagogia do Oprimido, Pedagogia da Autonomia e Educação como prática da Liberdade as obras mais citadas. Estas são utilizadas como referencial teórico, metodológico ou ambos, com destaque para os constructos diálogo, problematização, reflexão crítica e conscientização na perspectiva da Terapia Ocupacional enquanto promotora de um processo educativo libertador. Conclui-se aproximação crescente e vigorosa da Terapia Ocupacional com a Pedagogia Paulo Freire na busca de perspectivas mais críticas para compreender a profissão e sua relação com os sujeitos e grupos sociais.

Authors: Kumada Kate Mamhy Oliveira , Prieto Rosângela Gavioli
Published: January 2019

As instituições federais de educação que ofertam cursos superiores para formação docente em Libras devem obediência à Lei no 12.711/12 e ao Decreto no 5.626/05, concernente às políticas de ação afirmativa que contemplam, respectivamente, os grupos de pessoas egressas de escolas públicas e o grupo de pessoas surdas. Considerando que em nossa sociedade contemporânea o sujeito é constituído por múltiplas e fragmentadas identidades, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de investigar a efetivação do direito à prioridade do surdo na formação de professores de Libras a partir de uma análise ampliada do sujeito multifacetado. Os resultados evidenciaram menor adesão dessas instituições ao cumprimento da prioridade no acesso aos surdos, bem como o desafio por parte de algumas em lidar com o sujeito pós-moderno constituído por diferentes identidades.

EĞİTİM PROGRAMLARI VE ÖĞRETİM BİLİM DALINDA YAYIMLANMIŞ LİSANSÜSTÜ TEZLERİN BAŞLIKLARI İLE ANAHTAR KELİMELERİNİN ANALİZİ
Authors: KALÇIK Fatih
Published: January 2019

Ülkemizde birçok tez ve makale çalışılmış olsa da bu çalışmalara
yapılan atıf oranının az olması, yapılan çalışmaların bilimsel kriterler ve
kullanılan anahtar kelimelerin yönüyle de tekrar ele alınması gerektiğini
göstermektedir. Konuyla ilgili olmayan anahtar kelimelerin kullanılması,
araştırmacıların fazladan zamanını almakla beraber onların yanlış yönlenmesine
de neden olabilir.  Bu çalışmanın amacı;
Eğitim Programları ve Öğretim Bilim Dalı’nda yayımlanmış lisansüstü (yüksek
lisans ve doktora) tezlerde geçen anahtar kelimeleri incelemek, bu kelimeleri
tematik olarak gruplandırmak ve tez başlığına göre uyumlarını
değerlendirmektir. Araştırma tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiş olup doküman
incelemesi yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Çalışma, YÖK tez sisteminde kayıtlı 2008 -
2016 yılları arasında Eğitim Programları ve Öğretim Bilim Dalı’nda yapılmış
lisansüstü (yüksek lisans ve doktora) tezlerle sınırlandırılmıştır.
Araştırmacı tarafından YÖK tez sisteminde kayıtlı lisansüstü tezler
belirlenmiş (190 tez), tezlerin başlıkları ile anahtar kelimeleri
listelenmiştir. Uzman görüşü de alınarak elde edilen veriler içerik analizi
yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, anahtar kelime olarak daha
genel kelimelerin kullanıldığı, başlıklarda ise buna nispeten daha
spesifik/özel kelimelere yer verildiği görülmüştür. Bu anlamda yapılan
çalışmalar hakkında araştırmacıyı daha çok bilgilendirmek, içeriğe daha çok
ışık tutabilmek için çalışmaya özgü, onu diğer çalışmalardan farklı kılan
yanını vurgulayan anahtar kelimelerin seçilip kullanılması gerektiği
söylenebilir. Ancak bu yolla daha fazla atıf alınabilir ve sonraki
araştırmalara da temel oluşturulabilir.

En la última década la actividad turística vinculada a los espacios naturales protegidos ha experimentado un crecimiento importante que hace necesaria la definición clara de unos límites que minimicen sus posibles impactos. Por otra parte, estas actividades vinculadas al turismo y la recreación, pueden aportar beneficios considerables tanto a las áreas protegidas, como a sus comunidades locales asociadas. Estos beneficios deben tener un enfoque integral afectando a las esferas sociales, económicas y ambientales. Para conseguir encontrar un equilibrio entre esos nuevos usos turísticos y la gestión ambiental de estos espacios, es fundamental planificar y desarrollar unos sistemas de gestión que permitan aprovechar las bondades del turismo sin poner en peligro el equilibrio ecológico que posibilita su existencia. En el presente artículo se trabaja en la definición de principios y criterios de sostenibilidad turística para favorecer el mantenimiento de mencionados espacios naturales, aportando también un avance propósito de medidas de actuación para conseguir una gestión más inteligente basada en la sostenibilidad y aplicación de TICs.In the last decade, tourist activity linked to protected natural areas has experienced significant growth, which makes it necessary to clearly define limits that minimise their possible impacts. On the other hand, these activities linked to tourism and recreation can bring considerable benefits to both the protected areas and their associated local communities. These benefits must have a holistic approach affecting the social, economic and environmental spheres. In order to find a balance between these new tourist uses and the environmental management of these spaces, it is essential to plan and develop management systems that make it possible to take advantage of the benefits of tourism without endangering the ecological balance that makes its existence possible. In the present article we work on the definition of principles and criteria of tourist sustainability in order to favour the maintenance of these natural spaces, also contributing an advance purpose of action measures to achieve a more intelligent management based on the sustainability and application of ICTs.

Current Mechanism of Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobials
Authors: Gangwar Sonali , Kaushik Keerti , Joshi Maya Datt
Published: January 2019

Serious infectious diseases are caused by bacterial pathogens that represents a serious public health concern. Antimicrobial agents are indicated for the treatment bacterial infections.Various bacteria carries several resistance genes also called multidrug resistant (MDR). Multidrug resistant organisms have emerged not only in the hospital environment but are now often identified in community settings, suggesting the reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria are present outside the hospital. Drug resistant bacteria that are selected with a single drug are also frequently multi-drug resistant against multiple structurally different drugs, thus confounding the chemotherapeutic efficacy of infectious disease caused by such pathogenic variants. The molecular mechanisms by which bacteria have common resistance to antibiotics are diverse and complex. This review highlights the mechanism of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials.

Authors: Chaurasia Vaishali , Shrivastava Sushruta
Published: January 2019

Background: The drastically increasing rate of caesarean section is a topic of constant worry and analysis throughout the world. In order to understand the degree to which caesarean section may be preventable, it is important to know why caesarean section are performed. This study is aimed to find out the rate of caesarean section at our institute, various indications of the procedure and complications related to them.Methods: This study was carried out retrospectively in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Chirayu Medical College and Hospital, Bhopal. Study period was from January 2017 to December 2017. 500 cases of lower segment cesarean section were studied including both elective and emergency caesarean sections. Statistical analysis of age, parity, period of gestation, indications of LSCS and complications was done.Results: The rate of caesarean section came out to be 47.7%, which is far above recommended. Majority of patients (81.6%) were in 21-30 years age group; while the number of primary and repeat caesarean section were comparable (40.8% and 59.2%respectively). Commonest indication was previous LSCS (31.6%) followed by fetal distress (21.6%). Surgical site infection was present in 4.6% cases whereas, post-partum hemorrhage occurred in 5.8% cases. Three patients underwent obstetric hysterectomy and two cases of maternal mortality were reported among post LSCS patients.Conclusions: Increasing rates of caesarean section has contributed to maternal morbidity along with financial burden. Individualization of the indication and careful evaluation, following standardized guidelines, practice of evidenced-based obstetrics and audits in the institution, can help us limit rate of caesarean section.

Spectral Unmixing of Hyperspectral Images in the Presence of Small Targets
Authors: Ravel Sylvain , Fossati Caroline , Bourennane Salah
Published: January 2019

Generally, the content of the hyperspectral image pixel is a mixture of the reflectance spectra of the different components in the imaged scene. In this paper, we consider a linear mixing model where the pixels are linear combinations of those reflectance spectra, called endmembers, and linear coefficients corresponding to their abundances. An important issue in hyperspectral imagery consists in unmixing those pixels to retrieve the endmembers and their corresponding abundances. We consider the unmixing issue in the presence of small targets, that is, their endmembers are only contained in few pixels of the image. We introduce a thresholding method relying on Non-negative Matrix Factorization to detect pixels containing rare endmembers. We propose two resampling methods based on bootstrap for spectral unmixing of hyperspectral images to retrieve both the dominant and rare endmembers. Our experimental results on both simulated and real world data demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method to estimate correctly all the endmembers present in hyperspectral images, in particular the rare endmembers.
Stress tolerance indices based on yield, phenology and biomass partitioning: A review
Authors: Sofi Parvaze A. , Rehman K. , Ara Asmat , Gull Musharib
Published: January 2019

Breeding for water stress tolerance is very difficult as the stress conditions created in experimental set up and actual field conditions, invariably, have poor correspondence. Direct selection for yield under stress holds promise but is slow on account of complexity of yield. Screening based on yield suffers from low heritability. Yield has been the primary breeding objective in production breeding and has been improved either by targeting yield per se as well as yield components based on correlated response. Drought stress indices are quantitative measures that characterize water stress response by yield data from one or several environments based on timing, duration and intensity of stress. Such an index is more readily useable than raw yield data. Since drought resistance is a yield based trait, selection could vary depending on which index is chosen by the breeder. A major drawback of using these indices has been lack of correspondence in rankings across indices and their failure to discriminate overlapping responses in terms of yield under stress. There has been substantial effort on part of scientists to develop and validated different indices based on yield per se, index scores, regression analysis as well as various model based approaches. The major focus has been on identifying variables such as phenology, physiological traits, biomass partitioning or other parameters that influence crop performance under stress. The paper appraises the approaches from yield based indices to regression based as well as crop model based that have been used to understand crop response to water stress.

Proposition D’une Demarche De Gestion Pour Reduire Les Risques De Conduite Des Projets D’implementation Des ERP Logistique
Authors: Kadouri Abdillah , Ammi Anouar
Published: January 2019

The logistics activity exercise is in fact submitted to several constraints related to physical, financial and information flows; it also requires operational expenses optimization, compliance with performance indicators and processes control. Being structured in different integrated modules, the ERPs provide operational, tactical and strategic planning features that allow the company to balance its supply and demand plans. Although project management practices are considered effective nowadays, many companies are still struggling to implement these ERPs and automate the various logistics processes: indeed the situation of such projects becomes uncontrollable or they are abandoned. It is therefore appropriate to consider, in this article, the main risks that may arise during the logistics integration in the ERPs; then try to explain the most adequate governance to implement in order to reduce their impact.
Linguistic Choices for Literary Dialectics: A Coming Together of Divergent Entities
Authors: Najeeb Sabitha S. R. , AlDawood Manar
Published: January 2019

Literature involves the manipulation of language for creative purposes and the discipline which fosters this synergic relationship between literature and language is termed stylistics. The purpose of this article is to show how it is possible to bridge the divide between language and literature by using the analytical techniques available within this sub-discipline of language study. Stylistics aims to interconnect linguistic form and literary effect, and also account for what it is that readers respond to when they praise the quality of a particular piece of writing. This article attempts to depict how the knowledge of linguistic intricacies can affect the reader’s interpretation. It also discusses how linguistic form relates to literary effect by analysing “Domination of Black”, by the renowned American poet Wallace Stevens. We aim to show that a linguistic approach to the analysis of a literary text does not have to mean that interpretation is disregarded. On the contrary, stylistic analysis can often illuminate why a particular literary text is regarded so highly.

Published: January 2019

For the inhabitants of Gbintou (a district of the town of Bouaké), manufacture traditional soap, kabakrou, is the main economic activity of survival. In fact, this activity is a source of wealth, but a risky source of wealth. Indeed, the actors face many difficulties in the manufacturing process (raw material supply, health difficulties) the point of wanting to simply abandon the trade. The implementation of the socio-anthropological functionalist method and the study of this activity helped to understand that apart from raw material acquisition difficulties and illnesses it generates (contact urticaria, infections broncho lung), the company suffers from a lack of garish consequent functional organization and sanitary hygiene. Thus, it is desirable to set up an association or cooperative well equipped to train and organize stakeholders and better manage the entire manufacturing process.

This study is on the seeding and the initial growth of a food species, Diospyros mespiliformis, in Niger. Diospyros mespiliformis is an overexploited food species in Niger. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal conditions for germination and seedling growth of this species. In doing so, seed germination tests were conducted in petri dishes laboratory and seedling growth survey respectively. Also, the nursery was done using bags. The treatments involve the seed staying in warm water for 1, 3, 5, 7 days; scalding; and mechanical scarification. In the nursery, the substrates used are alluvial soil and alluvial soil mixed in 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 of organic manure. As a result, the growth monitoring is done on plants kept in the shade. Others were exposed to the sun for 12 months by applying water stress (watering every day; 2 and 1 times per week; and without watering). Thus, the germination capacity is 55, 4% without treatment and it reached 74% by scalding. The conservation makes it reduce to 43% after 6 months and 25% after 1 year. In the nursery, the emergence rate is 52,8 % in alluvial soil, but it reduced to 10% in the substrate (soil 1/2 and 1/2 fertilizers). D. mespiliformis growth is slow during cold weather and becomes fast during hot weather. When the weather is shady or sunny, this species supports four months of drought by developing a significant root system. D. mespilformis can be used for afforestation.

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the ergonomic risk of the workers of an automotive company using the Check-List OCRA method. METHODOLOGY: An analytical cross-sectional study of the workers of an automotive company was carried out in a production area during the period from August to November 2015. A total of 17 evaluations were carried out based on the data collected from the analysis of the videos of each operation. The information was captured in the application for the OCRACheckINSHT v.1.2 Repetitive Work Risk Assessment, from which the final results were obtained, thus identifying the level of ergonomic risk. RESULTS: A total of 17 operations analyzed, 8 (23%) presented a high level of ergonomic risk, 12 (35%) were at an average ergonomic risk level, 3 (9%) were at a level of mild ergonomic risk, 6 (18%) at a very low ergonomic risk level and 5 (15%) are at an acceptable ergonomic risk level. The determinants of ergonomic risk were mainly posture, strength and frequency. CONCLUSIONS: In the production area analyzed, operations with high and medium ergonomic risk levels were found to be the highest percentage. Therefore it is necessary to implement pauses based on physical activity and stretching of upper limbs as prevention of musculoskeletal injuries as well as avoid monotony. Likewise, work rotation is suggested as a measure to prevent ergonomic injuries.

The aim of this research was to compare the profiles of locus of control in Mexican university students. The total sample was of 1537 subjects; 820 women and 717 men, with a mean age of 20.38 years (SD = 1.81) and 20.78 years (SD = 1.94) respectively. The approach adopted in the research is framed within a quantitative approach with a survey descriptive design. The results of the multivariate analysis of variance, followed by the univariate variance analyzes, are the ones who show higher levels of external locus of control in the factors of luck, political power, destiny and interpersonal relationships, while men report higher levels of locus as luck external control, political power, destination and interpersonal relationships. The differences found between men and women regarding the locus of control, suggest that when designing any intervention that aims to strengthen the internal locus of control will have to take into account the gender variable.

We report partial results of an action-dynamic research, of descriptive type, conducted by a learning community that organizes and structures the educational process according to events that occur during a school year; it is based on the constructivist method and the solution of real problems, primarily. It is centered on beliefs about affect, emotions and feelings of Panamanian seventh grade students towards the learning of Mathematics, related to Math Science, Math Class, the Learning of Math and Learning Strategies. The learning community has considered the influence that these factors have on the process of knowledge construction of vital importance. Some important results are as follows. In relation to Science and the motivation towards it, the intervention changed the percentages, for example, from 70.8% to 100.0%, as far as the taste for the class that receives 72.4% were interested in studying Mathematics, 93.5% of the students said at the end of the school year that all students can learn mathematics. Initially, 89.3% believed to know learning strategies, the percentage in this criterion decreased, this was due to the researchers' intervention better understood their methodology. From these partial analyses we can observe evidence for the possibilities and challenges of change in the teaching and learning of Math. These results are part of a larger research whose general objective is to design, develop and evaluate a program for teaching and learning Mathematics, based on the modification of negative learning believes from students, and a model for applying daily-life problem-solving strategies, structured on the pre-media curriculum of Panama, that are not part of this article.
Abu Al Wared Revolution And The Idea Of Awaited Al Sufyanii
Authors: Alesa Mohammad
Published: January 2019

The idea of the Redeemer prevailed in most human civilizations, but in different forms. This, however, was coupled with a state of despair and the inability to change the reality. The idea was manifested in Islamic history through religious, tribal, and political determinants. Thus, it was one of the slogans of the Umayyad against the Abbasid authority to denounce their legitimacy in power. The Rebel, Abu Al Wared, used this slogan to establish the foundation of the revolution against the Abbasid power. Nevertheless, they realized its danger and took efforts to eliminate such danger before the spread of the revolution. Savior logo continued to be a way to convince the masses to revolt against authority for a long time, especially in the Abbasid era. In addition, it had a socio-economic determinant against feudal power on one hand and military power on the other hand.

Published: January 2019

A sociolinguistic study is made of the Maltese language to compare it to the Algerian language. Algerian is not the official language in Algeria, although it is the national one, and in this article an empirical study is undertaken to question the particularities of Algerian and its formation, comparing it with Maltese which has itself gained official status. Maltese, or “the language of the kitchen” as it is known, has gained important status on the island after decades of foreign occupation and linguistic influence from various civilizations that left palpable paw prints on the Mediterranean island. Maltese has managed to successfully confirm its linguistic identity, through a noticeable influence of Arabic, Italian and English amongst other languages that have imposed themselves and had a hand in forming the Maltese language. A sociolinguistic and historical study is made to explain the formation of Algerian comparing it to Maltese and the influence of history in both languages. A historical study is made to compare and observe the historic diachronic of both countries, and we compare the influence of foreign languages in Algeria and Malta. Likewise, an empirical study is undertaken to question the use of Algerian from various angles, and to examine the linguistic identity in Algeria.

Water management for agriculture is a worry in the world. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on water control’s technologies for the crops in wetlands. Comparison research work carried out on different irrigation systems revealed that drip irrigation can lead to 28-35% of water saving in relation to irrigation surface technic. Surface irrigation offers higher yield in relation to drip irrigation. It’s necessary to improve knowledge and local communities’ technics on different water control technologies in order to provide irrigation’s functions in developing countries. Research efforts on three important concepts are necessary such as : (i) local communities perceptions on crops water need and the responses of differents crops technologies on crops yield ; (ii) interactions between agricultures prospects, water controls innvations and economics benefits of theses technologies.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen's fixers complementaries to the chemical fertilization in the coffe groing. Ten treatments were used and three repetitions in plots of twenty-five plants, which were distributed in a complete blocks design at random. For the evaluation of averages were used the Tukey test at 95% confidence. During the cycle of the crop was evaluated: plant height, stalk diameter per plant, number of branches per plant, number of grains per plant, weight of 100 grains, yield per hectare of gold coffee and an economic analysis of the treatments. As a result of the experiment, it was noticed that the biofertilizers impacted on the development and performance of coffee cultivation, there was also an increase performance with higher values to the witness. The highest performance was submitted with the application of Micro-Asp (Azospirillium brsilense) in a dose of 6 l/ha in combination with a program of fertilization (160 kg N, 60 kg P, 75 kg K, 30 kg S, 20 kg Mg, 0.4 kg B, 0.2 kg Zn) based on the analysis of soil, achieving 1118.75 kg/ha of gold coffee, the same that is 4.29 times greater than the witness (260,7 kg/ha of gold coffee).

Obesity is one of the diseases whose situation has become alarming in Côte d'Ivoire. As it is known, the young people represent the labor force of tomorrow. So we investigated the situation of obesity among youth. We took the case of Nangui Abrogoua University which is full of students from Ivory Coast, as well as students from countries in the sub region. Our study shows that the majority of students, about 74.01 % had a normal weight. There is however 20.51% who was overweight, and 1.13% who was obese. Also overweight and abdominal obesity were more present in women than men. This low rate of obesity was explained by the fact that it is a more active population with a lower level of income. Our study highlighted that in addition to physical inactivity, obesity is also related to income level.
