Authors: Lombardi Filho Pedro , Viana Ednilson , Mattioli Lucianne , Manolio Pissiguelli Gabriella
Published: December 2017

O presente estudo teve como objetivo uma discussão sobre a qualidade das informações disponibilizadas pela Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo (PMSP) aos usuários geradores de resíduos da Construção Civil (RCC). Nessa análise, foram utilizadas como base as informações disponibilizadas pela PMSP, Secretaria Municipal de Serviços (SES) e a Autoridade Municipal de Limpeza Urbana (AMLURB) em seus canais de comunicação com os usuários do sistema de transporte e destinação de RCC gerados no referido município. Os dados foram focados no sistema de transporte via caçambas estacionárias, nas áreas de transbordo e triagem (ATTs) e áreas de entrega voluntárias de pequenos volumes (ECOPONTOS), voltadas aos geradores de pequenos volumes de RCC. As listas disponíveis aos usuários, principalmente aos geradores de pequenos volumes, não estão claras e são conflitantes, o que dificulta que eles se integrem de fato ao sistema de gestão de RCC de forma participativa e sustentável.
IPTU Verde: análise doutrinária e legislativa dos municípios de Jales, Santa Fé do Sul e Araçatuba
Authors: Toffoli Páez Thalita , Herbst Vazquez Gisele , Vanzela Luiz Sergio
Published: December 2017

O Estado organiza o comportamento dos indivíduos com a finalidade de alcançar o bem comum por meio do direito positivo, que, inicialmente, era empregado como forma de punição ou imposição de condutas. Porém, com o passar dos anos, o direito adquiriu nova feição, sendo o ser humano visto como o elemento central de todo o ordenamento, passando-se assim a premiar as condutas tidas como adequadas, dando origem ao chamado direito premial. Atualmente, no Brasil, dentro da área ambiental, esse método de estímulo de condutas desejadas vem sendo aplicado por intermédio do direito tributário dentro do âmbito urbano, por meio de incentivos fiscais, conhecidos como IPTU Verde (Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano [IPTU]). Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os municípios mais populosos do noroeste paulista quanto a sua legislação ambiental. Concluiu-se que apenas Jales, Santa Fé do Sul e Araçatuba possuem lei neste sentido, porém com pouca eficácia social.

An Unusual Case of an Intra-Articular Osseous Fragment Associated with a Medial Collateral Ligament Femoral Avulsion Fracture in an Adult
Authors: McCarthy Meagan M. , Covey Dana C.
Published: December 2017

Case:

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament of the knee; however, to our knowledge, avulsion fractures of the MCL resulting in an intra-articular fragment have not been reported. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture and an MCL avulsion fracture with an intra-articular bony fragment.

Conclusion:

Patients who sustain trauma to the knee should be carefully evaluated for ligamentous avulsion injuries. Avulsion fractures in adults represent substantial traumatic injuries, and associated injuries should be suspected. While the MCL is an extracapsular structure, this case report demonstrates that the MCL femoral-sided osseous attachment can displace intra-articularly.
Controversies Surrounding the Management of the Isolated Type-II Radial-Head Fracture
Authors: Martin Dennis P. , Wilt Zachary T. , Cantlon Matthew B. , Wang Mark L.
Published: December 2017

* The ideal management of the isolated Mason type-II radial-head fracture is controversial, with studies supporting both nonoperative and operative management.

* Inherent controversy remains in the precise definition of the Mason type-II injury and the degree of displacement considered acceptable for nonoperative treatment.

* The limitations of current studies include their retrospective nature, lack of adequate controls, insufficient power, uncertain pre-injury functional scores, heterogeneous grouping of radial-head fractures, and variability in fixation techniques.

* The design of future comparative studies may consider a suitably powered and controlled prospective study, utilizing a consistent fixation technique, performed at a high-volume center of excellence or at multiple sites.

* The impact of patient factors on clinical outcomes warrants further exploration, and future research may consider focusing on potential approaches to modifiable risk factors.
Joint Optimization of Economic Project Life and Well Controls
Authors: Shirangi Mehrdad G. , Volkov Oleg , Durlofsky Louis J.
Published: December 2017

A new methodology for the joint optimization of optimal economic project life (EPL) and time-varying well controls is introduced. The procedure enables the maximization of net present value (NPV) subject to satisfaction of a specified modified internal rate of return (MIRR). Knowledge of the economic project life enables the operator to plan for infill drilling or some other type of field development in the case that the lease/contract duration is longer than the optimal project life. This will enable NPV to be maximized, and the hurdle rate to be honored, over the entire duration of the lease. The optimization is formulated as a nested procedure in which economic project life is optimized in the outer loop, and the associated well settings [time-varying bottomhole pressures (BHPs) in the cases considered] are optimized in the inner loop. The inner-loop optimization is accomplished by use of an adjoint-gradient-based approach, while the outer-loop optimization entails an interpolation technique. The successful application of this framework for production optimization for 2D and 3D reservoir models under waterflood is demonstrated. The tradeoff between maximized NPV and rate of return is assessed, as is the impact of discount rate on optimal operations. In the second example, we illustrate the advantages of initiating a new project (that satisfies the hurdle rate) once the EPL is reached. Taken in total, the results in this paper demonstrate the importance of explicitly incorporating both NPV and rate of return in production-optimization formulations.
Environmental Performance Index and GDP growth rate: evidence from BRICS countries
Authors: Chowdhury Tonmoy , Islam Sadia
Published: December 2017

BRICS countries have experienced rapid economic growth and played a vital role in the world economy because of their capacity to produce large number of manufacturing products, supplies of raw materials, natural resources and the advantage of geographical locations and demographic attributes. Extremely speedy process of industrialization process has been acting as one of the key driving forces for rapid economic growth. According to the IAEA, coal use in India and China will more than double by 2050. To achieve high economic growth, these countries are facing severe environmental problem. India and China were the top two nations with largest total ecological footprints in 2003. Research question of the study is whether relationship between Environmental Performance Index and GDP growth rate in BRICS countries prevails? The study used secondary sources. The study used a sample of five emerging developing countries (BRICS) namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This study examined Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and GDP trends. Based on the collected data covering the period of 2002 to 2016, the analysis indicates that there is a negative relationship between GDP growth rate and Environmental Performance index. However, the study observed that strong correlation between EPI and GDP growth rate except Russia did not prevail. National accounting procedure should include environmental impact which needs to be addressed by the policy makers as suggested by authors.
Socio-economic development through the exploitation of natural resources in rural South Africa
Authors: Arko-Achemfuor Akwasi
Published: December 2017

South Africa has many developmental challenges but three have been identified as affecting each other. The three challenges are unemployment, poverty and inequality. The Second Quarter Report by Statistics South Africa (STATSSA) confirms that poverty, unemployment and inequality are highest in rural areas and most especially among people with no or little education. Meanwhile, many people in rural South Africa have access to land which can be used to produce food for the ever increasing population in both the rural and urban areas, as well as for export and other value adding agribusinesses. The task of addressing the challenges of poor communities calls for a multi-stakeholder approach which can include the private sector, NGOs, communities, traditional leaders and the state coming together to pursue economic transformation in rural South Africa by tapping into the natural resources nature has provided for the communities. This article reports on how some stakeholders have come together to transform a rural community in South Africa. The paper uses qualitative data from personal and focus group interviews and observations as the main data collection instruments. The findings indicate that the stakeholders have been able to empower a community by tapping into and effectively using the natural resources in an area to transform it through collaborations and partnerships. The model is recommended to the government and development practitioners for adoption on how the natural resources that exist within communities can be exploited and effectively managed to transform rural economies to ensure inclusive growth and development.
Masculinity in Indonesian Popular Culture in the Early Era of the New Order Regime
Authors: Hermawan Ferry Fauzi
Published: December 2017

This study aimed to identify the forms of masculinity in the Indonesian popular culture in the beginning of New Order regime. This study was based on the two novels: Cross Mama and Kekasih-Kekasih Gelap, written by Motinggo Busye. The analysis used new historicism theory proposed by Stephen Greenblatt. The analysis also considered various cultural contexts emerged in 1970s. The results show three shared trends in the novels. The first trend shows that the masculinity tends to be represented by both men worshiping patriarchal values such as the myth of woman’s virginity and men perceiving woman as a sexual object. The second trend shows that masculinity is stereotyped based on masculinity, power, and male dominance. The third trend shows that masculinity relates to various products of mass culture at the time. This last trend shows that in that era,the ideal male figure is represented as the one who: (1) is sexually active with many women, (2) has a muscular body, (3) has a handsome look, and (4) has a financial capability. Besides the shared three trends, the result also shows that the texts in the novels do not only reflect the cultural situations in the 60’s and 70’s but also contribute in shaping the social values of the cultural situations.
Female Psychology in August Strindberg’s The Stronger
Authors: Sutandio Anton , Apriliani Erica
Published: December 2017

This research aimed to offer interpretations of August Strindberg’s The Stronger through the lens of female psychology. The Stronger is unique as it seemed very simple yet so intense and powerful with layers of interpretations. Written during 1888-1889, The Stronger, which only had two characters and only one speaking character, had become one of Strindberg’s shortest yet important plays during his career. The female psychology approach used in the analysis would cover the discussion of gender role, women’s self-esteem, competition for males, women’s friendships, ego style, and female psychology. It was an interdisciplinary research that combined structuralist, historical, biographical, and feminist approach to gain a better interpretation on the play. By referring to three different sources on the concept of female psychology, the analysis offered different and interesting interpretations on the nature and dynamics of the two female characters’ relationship. The Stronger has shown an enigmatic attraction in Strindberg’s authorship in which the readers could see the co-existence, collision, conflict, and merge of different paradigms concerning sex, gender, and sexuality.
Increasing Students’ Reading Comprehension through Cognitive Strategies of Senior High School of Sidenreng Rappang Regency
Authors: Elihami Elihami
Published: December 2017

This research was a quasi-experimental research at the objective of finding the increasing students’ reading comprehension achievement through cognitive strategies (rehearsal, organization, and elaboration). It also aimed to find the extent to which these cognitive strategies influence the students’ reading comprehension achievement. The subject of the research was the Senior High School of Sidenreng Rappang Regency consisting of 50 respondents of two classes from 11 schools in Sidenreng Rappang. Each class consisted of 25 respondents; one class was the control and another class the tentative one. The data were collected through the reading comprehension test in pretest and posttest, and the observation checklist during the teaching and learning process. The test consisted of 45 items of the test from three kinds of text (news item, descriptive, and narrative). The observation checklist consisted of four statements for rehearsal strategies, three statements for organization strategies, and one statement for elaboration strategy. The research findings show that the students’ reading comprehension is increased for both groups from pretest to posttest. The experimental group is higher than the control one (60,6 > 50,1) and the t-test is greater than the P-Value (0,05 > 0,007), which means that there is a significant difference after giving treatment to the experimental group. The application of cognitive strategies also positively influences the increasing students’ reading comprehension achievement. Thus, it is concluded that the use of cognitive strategies is useful to increase students’ reading comprehension in teaching and learning words.
How A Betawinese Family Implement Politeness in Their Daily Conversation
Authors: Winiharti Menik , Salihah Triana Salihah
Published: December 2017

Betawi language still exists today. It is particularly used in the suburb area of Jakarta. The typical of this language is changing the suffix /a/ to /e/, as in the words 'siape', 'di mane', 'ade ape', and 'kenape'. The emphasis of suffix /e/ in Betawi language makes this language sound louder or sharper. However, people who are unfamiliar with Betawi ethnic and its language and rarely hear the conversation in Betawinese, usually assume that Betawi language is rude. The paradigm in the society is corroborated by the use of ‘lu’ and 'gua' as the synonyms of 'you' and ‘I’ respectively. In terms of conversation in a Betawinese family, politeness plays a significant role. Every member of the family uses the strategy of politeness. The goals of this study are to find the politeness strategies used by the members of a Betawinese family in their daily conversation. It is also expected to describe the extent to which the family members apply politeness in everyday conversation. The research is conducted by observing the family members when they speak to other members. The data are analyzed based on the speaker and addressee in applying the politeness strategy. The result shows that there are four politeness strategies used: Bald on record, Off record, Positive politeness and Negative politeness. The speakers who have a higher status in the family potentially threaten the 'face' of the hearers who have a lower status. This study has also found that the selection of politeness strategies is determined by two factors; (a) the status of the family members within the family itself and (b) the intensity of inter-speaker meeting. Generally, it is proven that a Betawinese family apply politeness strategies in their daily conversation. Keywords: Politeness strategy, family member, family status, conversation
Teacher’s Use of Code Switching in the Classroom and Its Implications on Students’ Score
Authors: K. Clara Herlina
Published: December 2017

Code switching is usually done by people who have mastered two languages well. Among the people who can fulfill these criteria are Indonesians who teach English. In teaching English to Indonesian students, English teachers do not always use English as the medium of instruction, they usually code switch to Indonesian. Research focuses on the teachers as the subjects who apply code switching in the classroom. The respondents are eight lecturers in Bina Nusantara University who teach English to non-English department students. This research analyses the speech of the teachers to find out the percentage of code switching and the uses of code switching in the classroom. Finally, the relation between code switching and the students’ scores is calculated using independent samples T-test.

Authors: Bai X. H. , Li R. L. , Zhu H. F. , Chen J.
Published: December 2017

The effects of different dosages of sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium orthophosphate on corrosion inhibition and water quality in two model water distribution systems, and the corrosion inhibition mechanism on pipe walls were investigated. Results show that adding sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium orthophosphate can not only provide a remedy for the damaged cement coating surface, but improve water quality by reducing hardness, turbidity and total iron in cement-coated water distribution systems. The surface exposed to sodium hexametaphosphate was covered by a discontinuous glass-like film, while the other was covered by some phosphate crystals and a thin film. The glass-like film sequestered Ca, Fe and Al on its surface, where calcium hexametaphosphate could be in complex with Fe2O3 or Al2O3 to form the film, while orthophosphate crystals and the thin film were related to Fe and Ca, FePO4 and Ca3(PO4)2 formed and deposited on the surface composing the thin film.

Published: December 2017

An eSOS (emergency Sanitation Operation System) Smart Toilet experimental prototype, aimed at improving the provision of safe sanitation in emergency settings, was field tested in a temporary settlement in Tacloban City, Philippines. The design, usage, and user acceptance of the toilet were all evaluated. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through interviews and questionnaires, supported by the research-team's observations. The survey results indicated that 98% of users (both first-time users and those who tried it a few times) intended to use the toilet again. There were more features that the users liked than disliked. The in-built water supply and user-operated smart toilet features were liked, but the bad smell was disliked. User-operated smart features were an important factor in user acceptance although they were not the main incentives. Key recommendations are to improve the toilet's design to address the odor and cleanliness issues, make handwashing more convenient, and lower the height of the toilet bowl.

Authors: Rai Pawan Kumar , Dhanya C. T. , Chahar B. R.
Published: December 2017

Effective management of floods in densely populated urban areas poses a great challenge. Computer modeling plays an important role in appropriate management of urban drainage systems. In this study an effort has been made to develop an efficient urban drainage model in which hydraulic results obtained from the developed SWMM model have been linked with a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for controlling floods. The resulting model can optimize flood levels substantially in urban water bodies and hence can be used as an effective tool to mitigate urban flooding.
Linguagem ficcional e carnavalização: aspectos dialógicos e ideológicos do reflexo e da refração social do filme O primeiro mentiroso
Authors: Dos Santos Andre Cordeiro
Published: December 2017

Tomando parte dos estudos da linguagem ficcional e de como esta reflete e refrata a realidade, neste artigo, propomos estudar os modos pelos quais o filme O primeiro mentiroso, de Ricky Gervais e Matthew Robinson, reflete e refrata as relações sociais, por meio do discurso sobre a mentira. Para tanto, partimos dos escritos do Círculo de Bakhtin e procedemos à análise de excertos-dizeres do filme – característicos dos momentos nos quais o discurso sobre a mentira se evidencia. Acreditamos ser importante analisar a construção ficcional de realidades outras para evidenciar as relações dialógicas entre dizeres e, por conseguinte, evidenciar também que a linguagem é social em todas as suas esferas de atividade. Por meio da análise foi possível observar que o filme, por ser um acontecimento estético, tende a carnavalizar as relações sociais e, por meio desse processo de carnavalização, diferentes discursos sobre a mentira se evidenciam.

JUSTIÇA DE TRANSIÇÃO: AS “AVÓS DA PRAÇA DE MAIO” COMO INSTRUMENTOS DO DIREITO À IDENTIDADE E À VERDADE HISTÓRICA ARGENTINA
Authors: Gonçalves Salignac Luana
Published: December 2017

O artigo pretende comprovar a eminente contribuição das “Avós da Praça de Maio” para a Justiça de Transição e, consequentemente, para a sociedade argentina, tendo em vista seus trabalhos dedicados à descoberta da verdade, com destaque à histórica e à biológica, as quais possibilitam a restituição do direito à identidade das crianças sequestradas pelo Estado durante a ditadura militar argentina (1976-1983). Para tanto, utiliza-se o método dialógico, abordando o tema em conjunto com diversas áreas do conhecimento além do direito, como com a antropologia, com a biologia, com a história e com a sociologia. Combatendo o crime de apropriação, as “Avós da Praça de Maio” são respaldadas jurídica e cientificamente para realizarem investigações, coleta de dados, pesquisas, exames de DNA e reparação psicológica daqueles que tiveram a identidade restituída, o que consagra sua organização como modelo internacional de um ativismo restaurador da memória e garantidor da justa transição à democracia.
OS IMPACTOS DA FALSA ACUSAÇÃO EM PEQUENAS COMUNIDADES: POSSÍVEIS ENCONTROS ENTRE A SOCIOLOGIA E A CRIMONOLOGIA NO FILME “A CAÇA”
Authors: Vechi Fabro
Published: December 2017

Este trabalho visa demonstrar algumas perspectivas da sociologia e da criminologia perante uma falsa acusação de estupro dentro de uma pequena comunidade, caso este contido no filme “A caça”. Utilizando um embasamento teórico das duas disciplinas, o presente esforço procura destrinchar a demanda punitiva presente na comunidade artificial do filme perante o hipotético cometimento de um crime sexual. O desenrolar do enredo nos mostra uma população que não reconhece (e reproduz) seus direitos básicos, como presunção de inocência, ampla defesa e contraditório. Nossa análise será desenvolvida a partir de uma investigação da obra cinematográfica em questão, unindo à utilização de conceitos de ambas as disciplinas para justificar nossas interpretações dos acontecimentos.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase, Cognition and Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Perkovic Matea Nikolac , Strac Dubravka Svob , Tudor Lucija , Konjevod Marcela , Erjavec Gordana Nedic , Pivac Nela
Published: December 2017

Objective: Cognition is a complex trait representing a set of all mental abilities and processes
related to knowledge. Although diverse brain regions are involved, most cognitive processes appear to
engage cortical regions. The activity of dopaminergic neurons in prefrontal cortex represents a biological
substrate underlying cognitive functions. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most frequent dementia associated
with cognitive impairments. Cognitive impairment in AD starts slowly with discrete deterioration
in memory, language, thinking and reasoning, but it progresses into more severe and debilitating cognitive
dysfunction. Cognitive function is affected by the complex interactions between various genetic,
epigenetic, developmental and environmental factors. One of the most studied genes, associated with
cognitive disturbances, is the gene coding for Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), the enzyme with
major role in dopamine metabolism and modulation of different brain functions. Therefore, COMT is
studied as a target for many neuropsychiatric disorders, including dementias and AD. The COMT
Val158/108Met functional polymorphism affects significantly the enzyme activity and consequently
cognitive performance associated with altered dopamine function. The association of COMT
Val158/108Met polymorphism with some cognitive domains and psychosis in AD was reported in some
but not in all studies. Besides COMT Val158/108Met polymorphism, other risk genotypes or haplotypes
should be evaluated to determine the association of COMT with cognitive decline in AD.

Conclusion:

Better understanding of the role of COMT in cognitive processes in AD, as well as integration
of neurobiological, genetic, genomic and epigenetic data, might help in developing new potential
therapies of cognitive impairments and psychotic symptoms, characteristic features of AD.
Cholinesterase Inhibitor 6-Chlorotacrine - In Vivo Toxicological Profile and Behavioural Effects
Authors: Misik Jan , Nepovimova Eugenie , Pejchal Jaroslav , Kassa Jiri , Korabecny Jan , Soukup Ondrej
Published: December 2017

Background:

6-chlorotacrine is a cholinesterase inhibitor showing good inhibitory potential, even better than parent compound tacrine, in vitro. Despite tacrine scaffold is broadly used for design and synthesis of novel compounds with anti-Alzheimer's potential, no in vivo effects have been investigated so far. Thus, basic toxicological and behavioural evaluation has been carried out throughout this study.

Methods:

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and median lethal dose (LD50) were assessed in BALB/c mice and Wistar rats. Behavioural effects were observed in rats performing the multiple T-maze test, the water maze test and the step-through passive avoidance test. All outcomes were compared with the effects of parent compound - tacrine.

Results:

The toxicity of 6-chlorotacrine was increased compared to tacrine with MTD 6.0/5.0 mg.kg-1
(i.m., male/female mice), 6.0/5.0 mg.kg-1 (i.p., male/female rats) and LD50 9.0 mg.kg-1 (male rats). At
MTD doses, no histopathological changes and blood biochemistry abnormalities were observed except
decreased plasma creatinine levels. 6-chlorotacrine showed good effects in the reversal of quinuclidinyl
benzilate-induced amnesia. Best results were achieved at the dose of 1.8 mg.kg-1 (20% LD50) in the water
maze test; the pro-cognitive effect was stronger than that of tacrine (5.2 mg.kg-1, 20% LD50). Other
doses tested (0.9 mg.kg-1 and 2.7 mg.kg-1) showed similar effects as tacrine in the water maze, multiple
T-maze and passive avoidance test.

Conclusion:

Observed effects predetermined 6-chlorotacrine as a potent parent compound for the synthesis
of novel multifactorial drugs intended to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Even though 6-
chlorotacrine showed in vivo beneficial effect with no signs of toxicity, further tests on the field of biochemistry
and pharmacology are essential to disclose the exact mechanism of action, safety evaluation
and the metabolic fate of the compound after the repeated administration.
PERSONALITY AND LEARNING STYLE: EVIDENCE FOR BIG FIVE TRAITS
Authors: Varadwaj Keka
Published: December 2017

The study examined the relationships between Big Five traits and learning styles of college students. Participants were 360 undergraduate students who completed the NEO-FF) and the Inventory of Learning Processes (ILP). While FFI measured the Big Five personality traits, the ILP measured student’s adoption of the four learning styles; Synthesis-analysis and Elaborative processing for reflective learning, and Methodical study and Fact retention for agentic learning. The data were analyzed by correlation and multiple regressions.

Seminal vesicles were collected from 60 heads of Bulls which butchered in slaughter house (RPH) Yogyakarta. The aims of this study are knowing the relationship between body weight, age, fluids volume and concentration of prostaglandin F2 α (PGF2α) in seminal vesicle of beef cattle. Those seminal vesicles were gathered from bulls which recorded its body weight and age then measured its seminal vesicles for weight, fluids volume and PGF2α levels. The PGF2α level was measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Statistical analysis was performed using one way – analysis of varian, regression and correlation with P<0.05. Body weight of bulls showed positive correlation with the weight of seminal vesicle and its fluids volume. However, PGF2α levels were not correlated with the body weight of cattle. Weight of seminal vesicles also exhibited positive correlation with volume of vesicle fluids but no correlation with PGF2α levels. Based on the age of bulls, there were no correlation withthe weight of seminal vesicles, seminal fluids volume and PGF2α levels. Those result indicated that the weight and fluids volume were affected by the body weight of bulls altough the PGF2α levels have a standard of developmentwhich seems affected by other factors such as concentration of androgen hormone.
