Framing Madame B: Quotation and Indistinction in Mieke Bal and Michelle Williams Gamaker’s Video Installation
Authors: Filipczak Dorota
Published: November 2015

The article engages with the video installation Madame B by Mieke Bal and Michelle Williams Gamaker. The work was premiered in the city of Łódź in Poland (between 6 Dec. 2013 and 9 Feb. 2014). The author makes use of the exhibition brochure by two artists published by the Museum of Modern Art, and the recording of a seminar held by Bal and Williams Gamaker after launching their work. The article focuses on the innovative audiovisual interpretation of Flaubert’s famous novel. Basing the argument on the concept of framing created by Bal, the author applies it to Bal and Williams Gamaker’s exhibition by relating it to the history and culture of the Polish location where it was first shown. Above all, however, the article discusses the importance of quotation and indistinction in Madame B, where the artists quote from (among others): Louise Bourgeois, Maya Deren, Artemisia Gentileschi, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, William Kentridge and Sol LeWitt.
Synthesis and structural characterization of the new rare-earth borosilicates Pr3BSi2O10 and Tb3BSi2O10
Authors: Bräuchle Sebastian , Huppertz Hubert
Published: November 2015

The rare-earth borosilicates RE
3BSi2O10 (RE = Pr, Tb) were synthesized under high-temperature conditions of 1600 °C in a radio frequency furnace from praseodymium oxide, terbium oxide, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, boron trioxide, and boric acid. The structure determinations based on powder diffraction data revealed that both phases RE
3BSi2O10 (RE = Pr, Tb) are isotypic to Gd3BSi2O10 [L. Chi, H. Chen, X. Lin, H. Zhuang, J. Huang, Jiegou Huaxue
1998, 17, 297]. The compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (no. 61) with eight formula units and the lattice parameters a = 982.9(2), b = 714.2(2), c = 2314.4(4) pm, V = 1.6247(4) nm3, R
p = 0.0231, and R
wp = 0.0354 (all data) for Pr3BSi2O10 and a = 960.5(5), b = 692.1(3), c = 2272.4(1) pm, V = 1.5106(2) nm3 for Tb3BSi2O10. The lattice parameters of Tb3BSi2O10 could be determined, but a final refinement of the powder data has not proved satisfactory. The structure of Pr3BSi2O10 exhibits eight- (Pr1) and ninefold coordinated rare-earth cations (Pr2 and 3). Layers of ortho-silicate anions [SiO4]4– and borosilicate anions [BSiO6]5– are arranged alternatingly along the c axis and the RE cations are located in between.

Por meio da abertura proporcionada pela História Cultural, para a qual novos objetos e fontes são contemplados, o presente trabalho se estrutura através das narrativas de trajetória escolar primária de dezessete personagens com faixa etária entre 68 e 96 anos de idade, residentes no território sul sergipano. O objetivo foi compreender a história da instituição primária sul sergipana, no período de 1930 a 1961, pelas memórias de quem estudou e/ou foi professor. Para tanto, recorreu-se à metodologia da História Oral, segundo Alberti (2010), e elegeuse como categorias de análise ‘cultura escolar’, de Dominique Julia (2001), e ‘práticas escolares’, de Faria Filho e Vidal (2004). Dessa forma, concluiu-se que a história da escola primária do sul sergipano, com suas similitudes e divergências, pode e deve também ser interpretada pela lembranças, vozes e representações do sujeito simples, neste caso, professores aposentados.
Medios de comunicación y prácticas discursivas: notas para el levantamiento de un estado actual
Authors: Espinosa Ramírez Luis Orlando
Published: November 2015

Aceptada la idea de que Colombia reclama periodistas críticos y dotados de las suficientes herramientas para dar cuenta responsablemente del estado de cosas que actualmente se vive en el país, se busca constatar la relación que los estudiantes tienen con los medios y, en particular, con los discursos mediáticos alusivos a cuestiones de orden político. A partir de la pregunta ¿cómo son las prácticas discursivas del estudiante de comunicación social/periodismo frente a la información periodística sobre temas políticos? se busca verificar la efectividad —o la nulidad— de la formación universitaria en los aprendices de periodismo, es decir qué distancia mantienen en sus discursos frente a los contenidos que emiten los medios masivos. En este trabajo, se enuncian algunas tendencias de la investigación sobre comunicación y se le sigue la pista a aquellos trabajos que guardan relación con el proyecto que se propone, en particular respecto de la relación medios-discurso. Se persigue, finalmente, aportar elementos para el levantamiento de un estado actual.
Una propuesta vinculante entre la historia social del arte y la historia social: breve recorrido historiográfico
Authors: Dardel Coronado Magdalena
Published: November 2015

Tras revisar los primeros intentos de una interpretación social de la obra de arte, nos detenemos en un recorrido historiográfico por la historia social del arte, presentando sus principales autores y sus aportes. Luego, comparamos las visiones que comparten con la historia social (particularmente la marxista británica), para demostrar cómo la historia social y la historia social del arte, si bien tienen raíces muy distintas, tendieron a vincularse en las últimas décadas gracias a los aportes de la historia cultural primero y los estudios visuales después. Finalmente, revisamos, a modo de ejemplo, una lectura hecha de la obra El viejo músico, de Édouard Manet, desde la perspectiva de la historia social del arte, a fin de comprender las particularidades de su método.
ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION SPECIFICS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC TONSILLITIS
Authors: Dzhukaeva Kh. R. , Schwartz Yu. G.
Published: November 2015

Aim. To investigate the clinical specifics of acute myocardial infarction

(AMI) in patients with chronic tonsillitis.

Material and methods. The study included 70 patients at early AMI stages (Days 1–2). The following parameters were analysed: anthropometry, blood biochemistry, myocardial necrosis markers, QT interval dispersion, echocardiography and Holter ECG monitoring parameters, and a confirmed medical diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis in medical history.

Results. In 31 patients with confirmed chronic tonsillitis, higher body mass index values, a significantly higher incidence of acute heart failure (19,4%; p<0,05) and anterior AMI (70%), higher glucose levels at admission (7,58±0,62 mmol/l), and a higher end-diastolic size of right ventriculum (3,04±0,19 cm vs. 2,66±0,05 cm) were observed. Mean daytime and peak nighttime heart rate values were higher than in other patients.

Conclusion. Patients with confirmed chronic tonsillitis were characterised by a more severe clinical course of AMI. There is some evidence that chronic tonsillitis is also associated with metabolic syndrome.

Published: November 2015

Aim. Current study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of Russian versions of Patient Health Questionnaires 2 and 9 (PHQ-2 and PHQ-9) used for detection of depression in general medical practice worldwide.

Material and methods. Questionnaires were translated into Russian and adapted with regard to linguistic features of population. A study was performed on a sample of 193 patients (130 female, 63 male, mean age 34,6±11,4), who attended general practitioners in outpatient practice department of NRC for Preventive Medicine. Patients filled in PHQ-2 and –9 questionnaires in presence of clinical psychologist and then assessed for depression by a psychiatrist (using ICD-10 criteria).

Results. The optimal measures of sensitivity and specificity corresponded to cut-off scores of 3 for PHQ-2 (66,2% and 87,4% respectively) and 10 for PHQ-9 (68,9% and 93,3% respectively). Russian questionnaires were found to success in sensitivity, specificity and their positive predictive values are comparable to similar research data reported in literature. Article discusses the principles of implementation of the studied scales for depression screening in general medical practice.

Published: November 2015

Aim.To study gender specifics of structural and functional parameters of brachiocephal arteries with the relation to psychoemotional factors in almost healthy individuals.

Material and Methods.Overall 107 almost healthy economically active individuals included from organized population (46 male, 61 female), with the average age 43,4±10,8 y. All participants underwent psychological testing that included questionnaires: Spolberger-Khanin test, depression evaluation scale by the Center for Epidemiological Studies, visualanalogue scale (modified Dembo-Rubinstein), the social frustration level, social adaptation test by Holmes-Rey, ultrasound scanning of brachiocephal arteries with evaluation of local rigidity parameters.

Results.There were significant gender differences found for the vessel wall structural and functional parameters. Average values of systolic and diastolic diameters, total common carotid artery wall thickness were higher in males, but the rigidity index - in women. Prevalence of personal anxiety and clinically significant stress estimates by the Holmes-Rey scale was significantly higher in women, 75% and 36%, resp. In both groups the association of psycho-emotional factors and vessel parameters was found. But for men there was independent relation of reactive and personal anxiety with the thickness of “intima-media” and in women – correlation of depression and vessel wall compliance.

Conclusion.The results direct to the need for further research of novel methods for complex primary prophylaxy of stress-induced remodeling of vessels with the connection to psychoemotional and gender specifics.

Published: November 2015

Aim.To explore the association between Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and risk of stroke in Novosibirsk citizens aged 45–69 years.

Material and methods.As a part of an international prospective cohort HAPIEE study the population sample of 9363 residents of Novosibirsk aged 45–69 years were surveyed by screening method.

Results.A high prevalence of metabolic disorders in the population was revealed; the levels and distribution of cardiometabolic factors in first-ever stroke examined. It was found by the “case-control” study, that the combination of hypertension and abdominal obesity (AO) increases the odds ratio (OR) for stroke in the population studied.

Conclusion.It was shown to 2-fold increase in the risk of stroke in people with MS by 9-year prospective observation. Prognostic models of combining components of MS affecting the OR of stroke were identified in an urban population of Siberia.

Authors: Kuzmin A. G. , Gorbunov V. V. , Kuzmina O. V.
Published: November 2015

Aim.To study dynamics in clinical signs of congestive heart failure (CHF) while taking ramipril regularly.

Material and methods.Totally 135 patients studied (124 men, 11 women), mean age 60±8,7, with Q-MI in anamnesis of different location 3 years ago, with clinical signs of CHF III NYHA. One year after hospitalization the adherence to therapy was evaluated by Moricki-Greene test. The parameters studied: life quality, signs of CHF, exercise tolerance, morphology and systolic and diastolic function of LV and RV, respiratory system parameters, and of kidneys.

Results.By the Moricki-Greene test results all patients were divided into 2 groups: I group — non-adherent patients, II — compliant. In 1 year of follow-up in those of II group the positive dynamic observed. Functional class changed to II, clinical signs of CHF decreased, life quality improved, exercise tolerance increased, intra- and transventricular dyssynchrony decreased, dyspnea regressed from 3 to 2 by Modified Medical Research Council Scale, the NT-proBNP concentration, sudden death risk, BP and HR stabilized at normal values, microalbuminuria decreased, GFR increased. Also we marked the regress of LV and RV volumes, increase of EF, improvement of diastolic function, increase of heart rate variability by the decrease of sympathetic activity.

Conclusion.Clinical signs of CHF after Q-MI with III NYHA are presupposed by morpho-functional changes in the heart, cardiopulmonary and cardiorenal continuum, that have common engine for progressing and showing worse outcomes. Therapy adherence with the usage of ramipril makes possible CHF compensation and decreases the chance for exacerbation and progressing of comorbidity.

Published: November 2015

Currently there is enough evidence for that the use of omega-3-faty acids compounds in ischemic heart disease is followed by the decrease of mortality, and the efficacy of this usage in multivessel coronary lesions after primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) has not been studied.

Aim.To evaluate the efficacy of long-term intake of the omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids compounds on the course of ischemic heart disease at the background of multiple coronary lesion after primary PCI.

Material and methods.Totally 101 patient included at the age of 35-70 y.o., who had underwent primary PCI for the myocardial infarction with ST elevation and multiple vessel lesion of coronary arteries. The patients were selected into 2 groups: 1 group (n=68) — conservative tactics with the standard pharmacotherapy; 2nd group (n=33) — Omacor was added to the standard therapy.

Results.In 36 months of follow-up in the Omacor group there was significant decrease of repeated myocardial infarctions, decompensating heart failure, angina progression and rhythm disorders. In 2nd group patients during the 36-month follow-up a better antiischemic effect achieved with 80,9% decrease of angina from the baseline (p<0,047) and by 27,6% of the heart failure severity. The increase of exercise tolerance by the 6-minute walking test during 36 months was the highest in the 2nd group — by 65%.

Conclusion.Long-term prescription of omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids in ST elevation myocardial infarction with multiple vessel coronary lesions after primary PCI leads to the improvement of clinical condition, which then leads to the increase of exercise tolerance and better life quality.
MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES ACCORDING TO THE SEA-LEVEL RELATED ALTITUDE OF A REGION
Authors: Dotdaeva A. A. , Kurdanov Kh. A. , Boytsov S. A.
Published: November 2015

It is known that the common risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) do exist and do influence all people the same. Among them are arterial hypertension, smoking, total cholesterol, obesity etc. However there are specifics of RF realization connected to climatogeographic specifics, i.e. high mountain altitudes. The review is concerned on the influence of the high altitude influence on RF of CVD. Some papers show that in high altitudes inhabitants the RF of CVD were prognostically malevolent, but the level of total and coronary mortality was lower in mountain inhabitants that can be explained by more intensive physical exertion with the background moderate hypoxia. There is an opinion that lower mortality in higher altitudes can be explained as connected with physiological adaptation to altitude and/or specifics of the climate (i.e. with UV-rays exposure, those become more intensive by 10% every 300 m). Lipidogramm are supposedly linked to moderate hypoxia and lowering of temperature, also the diet specifics might influence. However there is no stabile relation of mortality and the parameters studied. So the results collected in different trials are still controversial. But if long-term living in higher altitudes, secondarily, by the activation of adaptation capacities of the body, diet specifics and physical exertion, leads to the decrease of morbidity and mortality from CVD, short-term visiting of the mountains might be harmful for some persons and this requires individualized approach to recommendations of prevention.

Published: November 2015

The article provides a review of contemporary literature, which generalizes experimental and clinical data on the role of gut microbiota in atherosclerosis development. Gut microflora can be named a marker of the macroorganism condition, reacting on age-related, physiological, dietic, climatogeoraphic factors with its changes of qualitative and quantitative compounds. It was shown that L-carnitine and choline being received with food, are utilized by microflora to synthetize trimethylamine, which then rapidly oxydized by flavinmonooxygenase of liver to trimethylamin-N-oxide, that causes atherosclerosis development and increases risk of cardiovscular diseases.

Primary Premaxillary Setback and Repair of Bilateral Complete Cleft Lip: Indications, Technique, and Outcomes
Authors: Vyas Raj M. , Kim David C. , Padwa Bonnie L. , Mulliken John B.
Published: November 2015

Objective

To analyze indications and outcomes for primary premaxillary setback.

Design

Retrospective.

Setting

Academic children's hospital.

Patients

All children with bilateral complete cleft lip age ≤2 years of age who had premaxillary setback by one surgeon (1992 to 2011).

Results

Twenty-five patients with bilateral complete cleft lip underwent primary premaxillary setback at an average age of 9 months; the mean follow-up was 47 months. There were three indications: failed dentofacial orthopedics (n = 9), delayed referral precluding manipulation (n = 10), and intact secondary alate (n = 6). Of 19 patients with bilateral complete cleft lip/palate, primary setback was combined with nasolabial repair (n = 11), adhesions (n = 2), or palatoplasty (n = 6). Patients who had nasolabial closure and setback were significantly younger than those who had combined palatal closure and setback (6.5 versus 16 months, P = .01). No patient exhibited postoperative premaxillary instability. Serial anthropometry showed similar growth of nasolabial features after both primary setback (n = 9) and active dentofacial orthopedics (n = 35).

Conclusions

Primary premaxillary ostectomy and setback permits synchronous bilateral nasolabial-alveolar closure or alveolar-palatal repair in a child with intact secondary palate. This procedure should be considered whenever dentofacial orthopedics cannot be accomplished. Speech is paramount in an older child; setback with palatal closure is scheduled before nasolabial repair. Disturbance of midfacial growth is likely following primary premaxillary ostectomy and setback in patients with bilateral complete cleft lip/palate; however, most already need maxillary advancement. Furthermore, premaxillary setback permits proper primary nasolabial design and construction in appreciation of expected changes with growth.
Dose-Dependent Antiteratogenic Effects of Folic Acid on All-Trans Retinoic Acid-Induced Cleft Palate in Fetal Mice
Authors: Wang Huijing , Chen Weiliang
Published: November 2015

Objective

Although numerous studies have confirmed that consumption of folic acid (FA) during early pregnancy reduces the risk of oral facial clefts in newborn infants, the optimal dose of FA for reducing this risk remains unknown. We evaluated various doses of FA for their ability to reduce the incidence of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)–induced cleft palate in mice.

Methods

Pregnant C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to eight groups dosed with corn oil (control group), ATRA (80 mg/kg), FA (40 mg/kg), or ATRA (80 mg/kg) + FA (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg/kg body weight) on gestation day 11 (GD11), after which samples of maternal blood obtained on GD 11 were analyzed for serum folate levels. After receiving the doses, randomly selected mice in each dose group were sacrificed on GDs 13.5, 14.5, and 15.5, and the fetuses were removed for examination by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to detect the incidence of cleft palate.

Results

Among the pregnant mice dosed with ATRA+FA, those dosed with 5 mg/kg FA had fetuses with the lowest incidence of cleft palate. In addition, the eight groups of pregnant mice had significantly different serum folate concentrations ( P < .001).

Conclusion

When administered to pregnant mice at a specific dose and on the proper gestation day, FA showed an antiteratogenic effect by reducing the incidence of ATRA-induced cleft palate in fetal mice.
Renal 2′,3′-Cyclic Nucleotide 3′-Phosphodiesterase Is an Important Determinant of AKI Severity after Ischemia-Reperfusion
Authors: Jackson Edwin K. , Menshikova Elizabeth V. , Mi Zaichuan , Verrier Jonathan D. , Bansal Rashmi , Janesko-Feldman Keri , Jackson Travis C. , Kochanek Patrick M.
Published: November 2015

A positional isomer of 3′,5′-cAMP, 2′,3′-cAMP, is produced by kidneys in response to energy depletion, and renal 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) metabolizes 2′,3′-cAMP to 2′-AMP; 2′,3′-cAMP is a potent opener of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTPs), which can stimulate autophagy. Because autophagy protects against AKI, it is conceivable that inhibition of CNPase protects against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) –induced AKI. Therefore, we investigated renal outcomes, mitochondrial function, number, area, and autophagy in CNPase-knockout (CNPase−/−) versus wild-type (WT) mice using a unique two–kidney, hanging–weight model of renal bilateral IR (20 minutes of ischemia followed by 48 hours of reperfusion). Analysis of urinary purines showed attenuated metabolism of 2′,3′-cAMP to 2′-AMP in CNPase−/− mice. Neither genotype nor IR affected BP, heart rate, urine volume, or albumin excretion. In WT mice, renal IR reduced 14C-inulin clearance (index of GFR) and increased renal vascular resistance (measured by transit time nanoprobes) and urinary excretion of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin. IR did not affect these parameters in CNPase−/− mice. Histologic analysis revealed that IR induced severe damage in kidneys from WT mice, whereas histologic changes were minimal after IR in CNPase−/− mice. Measurements of renal cardiolipin levels, citrate synthase activity, rotenone–sensitive NADH oxidase activity, and proximal tubular mitochondrial and autophagosome area and number (by transmission electron microscopy) indicted accelerated autophagy/mitophagy in injured CNPase−/− mice. We conclude that CNPase deletion attenuates IR-induced AKI, in part by accelerating autophagy with targeted removal of damaged mitochondria.
Genesis of Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag Deposits within Permian Carboniferous-Carbonate Rocks in Madina Regency, North Sumatra

Published: November 2015

DOI:10.17014/ijog.2.3.167-184Strong mineralized carbonate rock-bearing Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-(Au) ores are well exposed on the Latong River area, Madina Regency, North Sumatra Province. The ore deposit is hosted within the carbonate rocks of the Permian to Carboniferous Tapanuli Group. It is mainly accumulated in hollows replacing limestone in the forms of lensoidal, colloform, veins, veinlets, cavity filling, breccia, and dissemination. The ores dominantly consist of galena (126 000 ppm Pb) and sphalerite (2347 ppm Zn). The other minerals are silver, azurite, covellite, pyrite, marcasite, and chalcopyrite. This deposit was formed by at least three phases of mineralization, i.e. pyrite and then galena replaced pyrite, sphalerite replaced galena, and pyrite. The last phase is the deposition of chalcopyrite that replaced sphalerite. The Latong sulfide ore deposits posses Pb isotope ratio of 206Pb/204Pb = 19.16 - 20.72, 207Pb/204Pb = 16.16 - 17.29, and 208Pb/204Pb = 42.92 - 40.78. The characteristic feature of the deposit indicates that it is formed by a sedimentary process rather than an igneous activity in origin. This leads to an interpretation that the Latong deposit belongs to the Sedimentary Hosted Massive Sulfide (SHMS) of Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT). The presence of SHMS in the island arc such as Sumatra has become controversial. For a long time, ore deposits in the Indonesian Island Arc are always identical with the porphyry and hydrothermal processes related to arc magmatism. This paper is dealing with the geology of Latong and its base metal deposits. This work is also to interpret their genesis as well as general relationship to the regional geology and tectonic setting of Sumatra.
Pratfalls, Pitfalls, and Passion: The Melding of Leadership and Social Justice
Authors: Noble Donnette J
Published: November 2015

Frequent conflicts over money, land, power, and other resources make it difficult for some societies to find or sustain any sense of equilibrium. Additionally, racial, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, educational, and political injustices, among others, require that leaders increase their understanding and commitment to social justice. Such efforts are critical in light of the vastly disparate opinions and increasingly polarized positions at the heart of contentious relationships that exist among people. This paper explores the origins of social justice, discusses the definition and perceptions of social justice, introduces the relationship between social justice and leadership, addresses current social and environmental conditions, presents c n terms of addressing social justice, and offers implications for socially just leadership.

Authors: Roganovic Dragana , Djilas Dragana , Vujnovic Sasa , Pavic Dag , Stojanov Dragan
Published: November 2015

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and early detection is important for its successful treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of three methods for early detection of breast cancer: breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital mammography, and breast tomosynthesis in comparison to histopathology, as well as to investigate the intraindividual variability between these modalities.  We included 57 breast lesions, each detected by three diagnostic modalities: digital mammography, breast MRI, and breast tomosynthesis, and subsequently confirmed by histopathology. Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) was used for characterizing the lesions. One experienced radiologist interpreted all three diagnostic modalities. Twenty-nine of the breast lesions were malignant while 28 were benign. The sensitivity for digital mammography, breast MRI, and breast tomosynthesis, was 72.4%, 93.1%, and 100%, respectively; while the specificity was 46.4%, 60.7%, and 75%, respectively. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis showed an overall diagnostic advantage of breast tomosynthesis over both breast MRI and digital mammography. The difference in performance between breast tomosynthesis and digital mammography was significant (p < 0.001), while the difference between breast tomosynthesis and breast MRI was not significant (p = 0.20).
Serum leptin, bone mineral density and the healing of long bone fractures in men with spinal cord injury
Authors: Wang Lei , Liu Linjuan , Pan Zhanpeng , Zeng Yanjun
Published: November 2015

Previously reported fracture rates in patients with spinal cord injury range from 1% to 20%. However, the exact role of spinal cord injury in bone metabolism has not yet been clarified. In order to investigate the effects of serum leptin and bone mineral density on the healing of long bone fractures in men with spinal cord injury, 15 male SCI patients and 15 matched controls were involved in our study. The outcome indicated that at 4 and 8 weeks after bone fracture, callus production in patients with spinal cord injury was lower than that in controls. Besides, bone mineral density was significantly reduced at 2, 4 and 8 weeks. In addition, it was found that at each time point, patients with spinal cord injury had significantly higher serum leptin levels than controls and no association was found between serum leptin level and bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae. Moreover, bone mineral density was positively correlated with bone formation in both of the groups.

Estudio comparado de la narrativa infantil de ciencia ficción en las literaturas gallega y portuguesa
Authors: Mociño González Isabel
Published: November 2015

En este trabajo se presentan algunas de las conclusiones del estudio comparativo de la narrativa en lengua portuguesa y gallega de ciencia ficción dirigida al público infantil y juvenil. Se presta atención a las principales características que refleja esta producción y su recepción, condicionada por el mercado editorial, las colecciones en las que se integra y la importancia de los premios literarios de cara a su canonización. El marco temporal abarca el siglo XX y la primera década del siglo XXI, revelándose algunas de las claves que definen la configuración y evolución de una producción muy poco estudiada en los dos sistemas literarios comparados.
Lo que la Literatura puede aportar a la Psicología Social
Authors: Ovejero Bernal Anastasio
Published: November 2015

Existen básicamente dos tipos de psicología. Una psicología intuitiva y una psicología académica y profesional. Aunque las dos van por caminos diferentes, no tienen por qué contradecirse. Por el contrario, pueden apoyarse mutuamente. A mi entender, lo mejor de la psicología intuitiva, que se encuentra en la literatura y particularmente en la novela, puede serles de gran ayuda a los psicólogos académicos y profesionales. Pues bien, lo que en este trabajo se pretende es mostrar argumentos a favor de la gran utilidad que tiene la psicología encerrada en la literatura para los psicólogos sociales, sobre todo a dos niveles. En primer lugar, anivel de la construcción del sujeto moderno y de la misma subjetividad y, por tanto, también del surgimiento de la propia psicología; y en segundo lugar, a nivel de los temas que estudian los psicólogos, sobre los que los escritores nos han ido proporcionando tantas intuiciones y descripciones provechosas (amor romántico, celos, infidelidad, remordimientos, emociones, sentimientos de venganza, relaciones humanas, etc.).
Análisis de la narrativa infantil escrita por mujeres (1920-1939)
Authors: Sánchez-Pinilla Francisca
Published: November 2015

Nuestro trabajo aborda el estudio de un corpus de cuentos infantiles publicados por mujeres en la prensa nacional de adultos entre 1920 y 1939. Son sus objetivos: hacer visible esa producción; analizar las diferentes propuestas estéticas e ideológicas formalizadas en esta escritura y reinsertar esta producción artística en el sistema literario en el que se produjo, ya que nace dentro de éste y son las circunstancias históricas posteriores las que lo aíslan y lo convierten en una escritura menor. La visibilización de la escritura femenina infantil para niños se constituye en tres fases: autoras que publican en el último tercio del siglo XIX; autoras que publican entre 1900 y 1920 y autoras que escriben entre 1920 y 1939. Los ámbitos para los que estas mujeres producen son el escolar, el familiar, el asociativo, el editorial, la ilustración gráfica, y la prensa escrita.
De la mano de Cervantes: la lectura moderna de los clásicos
Authors: Caro Valverde Mª Teresa , González García María
Published: November 2015

Este artículo delimita la innovación educativa de la competencia lectora basada en la interdisciplinariedad frente a las resistencias academicistas de la enseñanza disciplinar ; reivindica la intervención epistemológica de la imaginación y del sentido en acciones comunicativas recontextualizadoras con la metodología del intertexto lector para modernizar el tratamiento de los clásicos en lecturas creativas y críticas de proyección hipertextual en las aulas; y revela que su genealogía semiótica-krausistaromántica sobre la modernidad del clásico por su pervivencia en el tiempo procede del reconocimiento del Quijote como la primera novela moderna del mundo por otorgar al lector su reinvención infinita.
La lectura literaria ante nuevos retos: canon y mediación en la trayectoria lectora de futuros profesores.
Authors: Dueñas José Domingo , Tabernero Rosa María , Calvo Virginia , Consejo Elena
Published: November 2015

AA partir del análisis de más de sesenta informes sobre la propia trayectoria lectora de estudiantes de segundo de Magisterio de Educación Infantil y de Educación Primaria durante los cursos 2011/12 y 2012/13, hemos apreciado algunas relaciones, a nuestro juicio, relevantes entre formas de mediación, canon lector y hábitos de lectura. De este modo, hemos observado algunos estilos de mediación que parecen conducir con mayores garantías a trayectorias lectoras de éxito. Hemos clasificado a nuestros informantes en tres grandes grupos de acuerdo con el canon lector en que están instalados: lectores de canon académico, no lectores y lectores de canon social. La mayor o menor calidad de la mediación parece decisiva en buena parte de los casos. Tanto en el ámbito académico como en el familiar la mediación adquiere, en nuestra opinión, mayor eficiencia cuando se traduce en modelos de comportamiento y no solo en recomendaciones verbales, cuando va acompañada de complicidad afectiva o cuando la lectura literaria conecta con aspectos sustanciales de la propia vida. Las prácticas docentes universitarias han de proporcionar sobre todo a los estudiantes experiencias gratificantes de lectura.
Estrategias metaficcionales y respuestas lectoras: estudio exploratorio
Authors: Ruiz-Domínguez María Mar
Published: November 2015

En este trabajo de investigación me he planteado como objetivo descubrir el nivel de conciencia metaliteraria de un grupo de estudiantes de 10 años a partir del análisis de sus respuestas lectoras.  Para ello, en primer lugar, se han seleccionado siete álbumes metaficcionales que tienen como característica común la de poner al descubierto su propio proceso de construcción.A lo largo de un año he realizado cuatro sesiones de discusión.  En cada sesión, primero se realizaron preguntas sobre expectativas y anticipaciones; después se dejó un tiempo que las niñas leyeran el álbum y después se les preguntó sobre los aspectos de las historias relacionados con las estrategias narrativas también se les pidió que analizaran los roles del narrador, escritor, ilustrador que en estos libros se hacen evidentes.Las respuestas recogidas, y teniendo en cuenta las investigaciones anteriores, se han clasificado en dos categorías de análisis: comprensión (que incluyen respuestas de anticipación, expectativas y reconocimiento e inferencias y corroboración de hipótesis) e interpretación (que incluye la lectura interpretativa relacionándola con sus experiencias repeptoras así como la valoración del texto).
Un recorrido histórico y cultural por el relato de “El traje nuevo del emperador”. Análisis y posibilidades didácticas en las aulas de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria
Authors: Montaner Andrés , Palomares Mari Cruz
Published: November 2015

En el presente estudio realizamos un análisis comparativo de tres versiones de una fábula que encontramos ya en El conde Lucanor y que tradicionalmente es conocida con el nombre de "El traje nuevo del emperador". Así, relacionamos entre sí la recogida por don Juan Manuel en el siglo XIV, la creada por H. C. Andersen en el siglo XIX y la versión del escritor chino Ye Sheng Tao en el siglo XX. A partir de las mismas, llevamos a cabo un recorrido histórico por las épocas en que estas tres variantes aparecieron, considerando también los condicionantes culturales, temporales y sociales en los que fue reescrita. De acuerdo con esto, reflexionamos también sobre los matices que han hecho que esta historia haya sido en ocasiones considerada como una fábula o exemplum y, en otras, como un cuento de tipo tradicional, dependiendo de la aparición explícita o implícita de la enseñanza que se desprende de los hechos que en ella se cuentan. Finalmente, proponemos una implementación didáctica utilizando las diferentes exégesis bajo las que se ha presentado dicho relato, buscando a través de ellas fomentar la educación literaria y transmitir valores interculturales en Educación Secundaria Obligatoria.

Este artículo recoge la investigación realizada sobre la contribución de la lectura a la formación en género del alumnado del Grado de Educación Social. La investigación incluye las universidades españolas (29 públicas y 7 privadas). Se ha realizado una investigación descriptiva y censal. Se envió un cuestionario on-line al alumnado de 4º curso, que fue respondido por 213 personas, de las cuales un 86,4% han sido mujeres; pues es una titulación feminizada. El objetivo era conocer su opinión sobre las aportaciones de la lectura a su formación en género. Se ha calculado el alfa de Cronbach para las 45 variables ordinales. La validez cualitativa se ha realizado a través del juicio de 18 personas expertas en esta materia. Los datos muestran la importancia de las lecturas sobre género en su formación, por su contribución al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y a su compromiso en la realización de actuaciones para conseguir la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres. Y, de este modo, luchar contra todo tipo de discriminación contra la mujer.

Dado o grande volume de contratos estabelecidos na área de tecnologia da informação (TI) em empresas brasileiras, a falta de mão de obra especializada para sua análise e a consequente ausência de processos claros de gestão e acompanhamento do seu ciclo de vida, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o grau de maturidade dos processos de gestão de contratos de TI e suas vulnerabilidades decorrentes. A metodologia caracteriza-se como um estudo transversal, de natureza descritiva e de abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Participaram da pesquisa 46 organizações do Rio Grande do Sul, selecionadas entre as 200 maiores empresas do Estado. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados questionários eletrônicos, com entrevistas complementares aos principais gestores de TI, realizadas pelo próprio pesquisador. Constataram-se situações de risco legal e econômico nas organizações pesquisadas em função do baixo nível de maturidade encontrado na gestão do ciclo de vida dos contratos de TI e erros de delegação nas empresas pesquisadas.
