Authors: Rasania Manish , Pathak Sunil , Dogra Prerna , Jain Ayushi , Shah Neil , . Shivanand
Published: June 2018

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) has been defined as a birth weight of <2.5 kilogram regardless of gestational age. In India, every 3rd born child is of LBW. LBW is associated with increased neonatal mortality and morbidity, compromised growth and cognitive development.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using previously collected data from January 2015 to December 2015.Results: Out of 1238 live births, 485 (39.17%) were LBW. 456(94.01%) were LBW weighing >1500 grams (LBW), 22(4.53%) were VLBW, and 07(1.44%) were ELBW. 361(74.43%) were LBW2 (birth weight ≥2000 - <2500 grams), 95(19.58%) were LBW1 (birth weight ≥1500 - <2000 grams). 289(59.58%) of LBW neonates were full term. SNCU admission is significantly higher in LBW neonates (25.8% vs 9.61%). Morbidities were higher in LBW neonates compared to normal birth weight neonates. Difference was more significant in incidence of sepsis (3.72% vs 0.83%), RDS (2.19% vs 0%), TTN (5.48% vs 2.36%), hypoglycemia (1.31% vs 0%), feed intolerance (1.09% vs 0%) and risk of major congenital malformation (1.97% vs 0.27%). Need for respiratory support was 4.82% in LBW vs 2.36% in normal birth weight neonates. Morbidities were significantly higher in VLBW and ELBW neonates. Immediate poor outcome was in 3.92% in LBW neonates, while it was 0.56% in normal weight neonates. Poor immediate outcome was 1.11% in LBW2, 2.10% in LBW1, 10% in VLBW1, 41.66% IN VLBW2, and 100% in ELBW.Conclusions: LBW neonates are at higher risk of morbidities and mortalities. The major determinant for mortality in LBW babies is the birth weight. The best option to prevent LBW is by improving maternal health. Improvement of perinatal and neonatal services   in government sector and public private partnership model of free neonatal care can help to achieve the INAP goal of NMR <10 by 2030.

QualityMatters: How and under what conditions does quality in early education and care matter? A study across four European countries
Authors: Cadima Joana
Published: June 2018

QualityMatters, an extension of a European Commission funded study, the CARE project, intends to examine whether the quality of teacher-child interactions varies as a function of particular classroom features (e.g., types of activities, content, and grouping), to answer the overarching question: how and under what conditions does quality in early education and care matter? Through a cross-cultural process-oriented approach, the researchers in QualityMatters will capitalize on the variation in the ECEC systems present in 4 European countries (Finland, Netherlands, Poland, Por­tugal) to examine the complex relations of teachers’ choices regarding the activity and teacher-child interactions. The project will examine the extent to which children’s classroom interactions with teachers vary across activity settings, while taking into consideration country specifications regarding structural regulations. While much of the ECEC research has examined process and structural quality as separated constructs, QualityMatters will look at aspects at the intersection of process and structure, likely to be relevant for child development and learning.

Climate change effects on ski tourism
Authors: Béki Piroska
Published: June 2018

Nowadays, climate change poses a common recurring problem in our everyday life. The weather forecasts tend to be inaccurate, the swiftly changing weather often makes fun of the people. The same unpredictability applies for forecasting the amount of precipitation or snowing. The major problem in ski tourism consists in the gradual shift of seasons, namely there is no snow in December yet, while at Easter-time we can count on such an enormous amount of snow. I’d like to present this climate condition and offer a sort of way out of this problem. In my empirical study, I have carried out document-analysis along the data collection phase, and I made half-structured deep-interviews, as well.My research questions were the following: How is the winter season affected by climate change or by the lack of snow? Due to the unreliable climatic conditions what is the estimated ratio of drop in tourism in the season? How much shorter is a skiing-season and how does it affect the operation of the local ski-school? What are the features of pre, and post peak-season tourists’ emergence? How and for how long can a smaller ski-resort be maintained? What is the biggest challenge, problem at the ski-resorts along the state border?First of all, I’d like to present and tackle the various solutions emerged facing the challenges of climate change effects related to skiing, on the other hand, I have made some personal interviews with Hungarian ski instructors working abroad and also with managers of Austrian ski schools trying to find out the various answers and reactions they have hammered out coping with the new challenges and difficulties in ski tourism.Hungary can not be considered a skiing nation, although more and more people tend to take up skiing and get involved in this special field of sport tourism. The number of ski slopes being built and developed is increasing, yet the Hungarians ski-lovers tend to visit rather the foreign sport centers for the time being. The reasons mostly involve the various length and versatile difficulty level of the ski slopes. We should also take into account the challenging conditions imposed by climate change on the smaller winter sport centers and the way they can cope with it and also compete with other sport centers with similar features.Climate change affects considerably the operation of skiing season, and the service providers must adapt to the new conditions. Many resort venues struggle for survival, though most of the local self-governments are clearly aware of the importance of ski-tourism, particularly in Austria.

El juego motor y la pedagogía de las conductas motrices motor games and pedagogy of motor conducts
Authors: Burgués Pere Lavega
Published: June 2018

La educación física interesada por hacer un uso pedagógico de las situaciones motrices encuentra en el juego un escenario privilegiado. Sin embargo, actualmente son muchos los docentes que actúan sin criterio ni rigurosidad en su actividad cotidiana cuando se trata de entender y aplicar el juego. En este artículo, se hace una revisión conceptual de los principales rasgos del juego (como práctica motriz lúdica y reglada), a la vez que se evidencian algunas de las principales preocupaciones de la Educación Física actual. Finalmente para vencer esta miopía disciplinar se propone usar las lentes de la praxiología motriz, interesada en desvelar las propiedades de los juegos y en ofrecer herramientas que se puedan aplicar en el contexto educativo diario. En este contexto se puede justificar que la estrella polar del uso educativo del juego se halla en la aplicación de una verdadera pedagogía de las conductas motrices.

Published: June 2018

Atualmente, a Cannabis Sativa é a terceira substância mais utilizada em todo o mundo, ficando atrás apenas do álcool e do cigarro. Mediante a este cenário, o presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar quais são os principais aspectos relacionados ao uso da cannabis sativa, segundo a percepção de usuários e não usuários declarados. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva de abordagem quantitativa, por meio de uma survey aplicada em 499 indivíduos brasileiros. Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise Fatorial Exploratória. A partir dos resultados alcançados neste estudo tornou-se possível questionar até que ponto a responsabilidade pelo abuso de substâncias proibidas, não apenas a cannabis sativa, mas outras que podem se classificar como psicoativas, é prioritariamente de cunho dos governos. A partir do presente artigo pode-se refletir acerca do papel da sociedade para a inclusão de determinados grupos que são mais vulneráveis a associação com a substância.
La nueva “patética” de la fenomenología alemana. Reflexiones sobre el carácter “religioso” del ontologismo heideggeriano y su aproximación a la “filosofía del hitlerismo”, según el joven Levinas
Authors: Ríos Flores Pablo Facundo
Published: June 2018

Desde su inicial estadía en Friburgo (1928-1929), las reflexiones levinasianas permanecieron cautivadas por la “hermenéutica existencial” y la fascinación ejercida sobre los jóvenes discípulos por el nuevo profeta de la fenomenología: Martin Heidegger. A comienzos de los años treinta, Levinas mantuvo su fidelidad a la nueva orientación frente a las acusaciones lanzadas por sus adversarios contra los ambiguos compromisos filosófico-políticos de la fenomenología alemana derivados de un presunto “misticismo de lo concreto”. Sin embargo, tras el ascenso del nazismo al poder y la adhesión de Heidegger al nuevo régimen, su inicial fascinación por aquella corriente, con su nuevo ideal de vida, casi una nueva “religión”, derivó en una revisión crítica del “campo magnético” del ontologismo heideggeriano. El objetivo del presente artículo será determinar el modo en que Levinas interpreta la nueva “patética” de la “hermenéutica existencial” y, con ello, la afinidad electiva de Heidegger con la “religión política” y “filosofía del hitlerismo”.

Published: June 2018

Background:

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers, with poor prognosis
and high resistance to current chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies and targets are
underscored. Propolis has been reported to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including anticancer
activity.

Objective:

This study was carried out to assess the possible efficacy of Algerian propolis on the antitumor effect
of doxorubicin on human pancreatic cancer cell line (PANC-1).

Methods:

Modifications in cell viability, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, Pgp activity and intracellular
accumulation of DOX were monitored to study the synergistic effect of Algerian propolis on the antitumor effects
of DOX in PANC-1 cell line.

Results:

Both propolis and its combination with doxorubicin inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner
by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In the presence of 100 μg/ml of propolis, the IC50 of DOX against
PANC-1 cells decreased by 10.9-fold. Propolis combined with DOX increased after 48h, the number of cells in
the G0G1 phase with dramatical increase in sub-G1 phase to reach 47% of total cells, corresponding to an increase
of senescence or apoptotic state of the cells. Dead cell assay with annexinV/PI staining demonstrated that
propolis and propolis-DOX treatment resulted in a remarkable induction of apoptosis as detected by flow cytometry.
It was interesting to note that propolis at its 5IC50 was found as the most potent inducer of apoptosis.
Our finding revealed that induced apoptosis in our conditions was caspase-3 and caspase-9 dependent. Flow
cytometry showed that propolis increased the accumulation of doxorubicin within PANC-1 cells. Moreover,
fluorescent intensity detection revealed that propolis remarkably increased the retention of rhodamine-123, 7-
fold compared to 3-fold of verapamil, the most effective P-gp inhibitor.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, propolis sensitize pancreatic cancer cells to DOX via enhancing the intracellular
retention of DOX due to blocking the efflux activity of P-gp pump, inducing cell cycle arrest and increasing
apoptosis, finding that improuve the synergism of antitumor effect of Algerian propolis and DOX in pancreatic
cancer cell line. Therefore, Algerian propolis may be an effective agent in a combined treatment with doxorubicin
for increased therapeutic efficacy against pancreatic cancer.

Visiones proféticas, series de calidad, el nuevo modo de contar historias de Twin Peaks
Authors: Skoptsov Mikhail L.
Published: June 2018

Tras el debut de Twin Peaks en la ABC en abril de 1990, la visión —una secuencia de imágenes que relacionan información del futuro o el pasado de la narración— se ha hecho un producto de primera necesidad de muchas series de cadenas de cable básicas y premium, incluyendo Buffy, la cazavampiros (WB), Battlestar Galactica (SyFy) y Juego de tronos (HBO). Este artículo argumenta que Twin Peaks, en efecto, ha introducido un modo de contar historias llamado “visionarración”, que se basa en la antigua poesía épica al enfocarse en los principales personajes que reciben conocimiento de figuras enigmáticas, parecidas a dioses, que controlan su mundo. Sus visiones rompen la narración lineal, permitiendo que una serie asuma los aspectos formales del medio y cree la impresión de que sus dispares episodios constituyen un todo único. Esto los ayuda a calificar como “televisión de calidad”, al tiempo que disfrazan ejemplos de manipulación autoral evidente dentro de los textos como productos de la divina causalidad interna. Consecuentemente, todos los incidentes narrativos, sin importar qué tan coincidentes o irrelevantes sean, pasan a ser parte de un gran diseño. Un examen detallado de Twin Peaks y Carnivàle demostrará cómo opera este modo, por qué su popularidad entre los contadores de historias modernos y cómo elevar el estatus cultural del programa.

Stereological analysis of androgen receptors in prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia
Authors: Trivunic-Dajko Sandra , Bogdanovic Jovo , Vojinov Sasa , Visnjic Andrejic
Published: June 2018

Introduction. Through androgen receptors, androgens regulate prostate
cellular growth and function, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis,
lipid metabolism and secretory activity, as well as development and
progression of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer, and its primary glandular
tissue are influenced by hormones, and it is used for therapeutic purposes.
Anti-androgen treatment is carried out in patients with metastatic prostatic
cancer, in order to block effects of androgens. Immunohistochemical analysis
of androgen receptors in the prostate cancer tissue may help us to assume
how the tumors will react to the anti-androgen therapy, if they are
androgen-positive, -negative, or hormone resistant tumors. Knowledge of the
presence of androgen receptors in the tumor tissue may be a prognostic
indicator in histopathological analysis. The aim of this study was
stereological evaluation of androgen receptor expression in patients with
benign prostatic hyperplasia and in patients with prostatic cancer, before
therapy. Material and Methods. Immunohistochemical analysis was carried out
using anti-human androgen receptor monoclonal antibody 441. The presence and
intensity of the androgen receptors were evaluated in 195 patients: 165 with
benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 with prostatic cancer using Weibel?s
multi-purpose M 42 stereological test system. Material was obtained by
needle biopsy or transurethral resection of the prostate. Results. All
secretory cells in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were androgen
positive, while in patients with prostatic cancer, all tumors were mostly
androgen positive, some with foci of negativity. The resulting negative
correlation with Gleason score and International Society of Urological
Pathology grade was not statistically significant. Conclusion. Study results
of stereological analysis of androgen receptors indicate that prior the
therapy prostate cancer is androgendependent, with a high level of androgen
receptor expression, although slightly lower compared to benign prostatic
hyperplasia.
Environmental noise in Novi Sad 1985-2016
Authors: Zivadinovic Emil , Jevtic Marija , Bijelovic Sanja
Published: June 2018

Introduction. Noise is recognized as a physical hazard in the environment,
and if it causes adverse effects to human health, it is recognized as a
risk. Also, it is a harmful outdoor sound created by human activity. The aim
of this paper was to present the history of environmental noise measurements
in Novi Sad, as well as the indicators, methods, standards and results
during three decades. Material and Methods. From 1985 to 2011, the Institute
of Public Health of Vojvodina conducted noise measurements presented as the
equivalent continuous sound pressure levels, which were, at the same time,
the rating equivalent continuous levels, due to the representativity of the
measurement conditions and measurement sites selection. Since 2011, the
measurements have included the basic noise indicators - daily, evening,
night and total noise, while the measurement sites were ranked in accordance
to the European Environmental Noise Directive. Results. There is a lot of
available data about environmental noise in Novi Sad from 1985 ? 2016, but
only the data from five representative measurement sites are presented in
the paper. The linear trends of daily and night noise from all the
measurement sites show a fall, but it does not mean that the environmental
noise is reduced. All the data show that the minimum and maximum values are
getting close to each other, which indicates that environmental noise is
evenly distributed and is present everywhere. Conclusion. Based on the
30-year results, always using modern methodology and equipment, as well as
expert knowledge, it may be concluded that the environmental noise in Novi
Sad presents a long-lasting physical hazard.

Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the association between ambulatory medication reconciliation and health care utilization in patients with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this retrospective cohort analysis, we studied adults taking at least one diabetes medication treated in primary care practices affiliated with two academic medical centers between 2000 and 2014. We assessed the relationship between the fraction of outpatient diabetes medications reconciled over a 6-month period and the composite primary outcome of combined frequency of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations over the subsequent 6 months.

RESULTS

Among 261,765 reconciliation assessment periods contributed by 31,689 patients, 176,274 (67.3%), 27,775 (10.6%), and 57,716 (22.1%) had all, some, or none of the diabetes medications reconciled, respectively. Patients with all, some, or no diabetes medications reconciled had 0.354, 0.377, and 0.384 primary outcome events per 6 months, respectively (P < 0.0001). In a multivariable analysis adjusted for demographics and comorbidities, having some or all versus no diabetes medications reconciled was associated with a lower risk of the primary outcome (rate ratio 0.94 [95% CI 0.90–0.98; P = 0.0046] vs. 0.92 [0.89–0.95; P < 0.0001], respectively). Introduction of feedback to individual providers was associated with a significant increase in the odds of all diabetes medications being reconciled (2.634 [2.524–2.749]; P < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

A higher fraction of reconciled outpatient diabetes medications was associated with a lower frequency of ED visits and hospitalizations. Individual performance feedback could help to achieve more comprehensive medication reconciliation.

Activity of beavers as an ecological factor that affects the benthos of small rivers - a case study in the Żylica River (Poland)
Authors: Strzelec Małgorzata , Białek Katarzyna , Spyra Aneta
Published: June 2018

The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) has a greater impact on local ecosystems than other herbivores, and the affected area exceeds the range of its presence. Its activity may change or create new habitats by modifying the availability of the biotic and abiotic resources available not only to beavers, but also to other groups of animals. Our aim was to study how beaver activity affects the benthos composition in a small river and in a beaver pond. The way in which beavers function in the case of small rivers has received little attention. The study showed a lower density of benthos above the dam (beaver pond - 1467 ind./m2) compared to the river (3147 ind./m2). Below the dam, the diversity of Trichoptera and Coleoptera was greater, while Diptera were more abundant in the beaver pond. Betidae were a constant component in the benthos assemblages and were most abundant in the beaver pond. Collectors-gatherers and predators were the most numerous in the beaver pond. Decreasing percentages of collectors-gatherers were observed with an increased abundance of collectors-filterers and shredders in the river. All of the ratio values except the P/T FFG (Predators to total of all other groups) were lower in the beaver pond compared to the river. The % EPT (Ephemeroptera Plecoptera and Trichoptera) was also greater in the beaver pond. Small differences in the physicochemical properties of the water and organic matter content in the bottom sediments were found both above and below the beaver dam.

Authors: Hemmann Felix , Hackebeil Jonathan , Lißner Andreas , Mertens Florian
Published: June 2018

Molecular sieves with beta zeolite topology are promising catalysts for various reactions as they exhibits extraordinary Lewis acidity. However, their industrial application and related research in academica is hindered because their synthesis is time consuming and typically involves toxic chemicals as hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, tetraethylammonium fluorid was tested as a non-toxic fluotide source for the synthesis of beta zeolites. In combination with the previously reported nano-seeded growth method, a fast synthesis of beta zeolites only involving non-toxic chemicals was possible. Synthesized zeolites show comparable selectivity in the Bayer-Villinger oxidation as conventional zeolites synthesized with hydrofluoric acid.

Published: June 2018

In this article we develop a simple statistical model for the prediction of halogen bond interaction energies at equilibrium geometries. The model is based on explicitly correlated coupled cluster results and produces root-mean-squared deviations of 0.14 and 0.28 kcal mol–1 over separate fitting and validation sets, respectively. We also show how the model can be used to highlight cases where induction or dispersion significantly affect the underlying nature of the interaction.

Due to expensive energy costs nowadays, the architects are demanded to produce relatively efficient building designs, especially those with many stories. As a consequence, both accurate estimation and energy saving measures are extremely needed even at the early stage of the planning process. In fact, the consumption for the building energy has been mostly absorbed by air conditioning and lighting needs. In practice, both of them have been affected by direct contact of the sunlight penetrating through the building casing, either by conduction, convection or radiation processes. While both shapes and positions of the building casing are very much dependent on the basic shapes and the building orientation, a critical question is needed to investigate any further: to what extent each basic shape of the buildings is likely to increase or decrease the energy and which orientation gives significant effects. Designed in an experimental research, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of the building shapes in obtaining the heat and to examine the total energy consumption. A series of testing measures is conducted by changing the building basic shapes and their orientation according to the basic conditions previously set. In so doing, obtaining calculated energy consumption difference could be achieved. It is expected that the results of this study is worth considering reference for architects and hence they are able to determine appropriate building basic shapes as well as their appropriate orientation during the planning phase.  Keywords: building basic shapes; building energy; orientation; sunlight
Design Thinking as an approach to develop sustainable physical activity and nutrition interventions in low re-sourced settings

The objective of the study is to describe how design thinking as a participatory process can be applied in determining how sustainable physical activity and nutri-tion interventions should be implemented in a low resourced community in South Africa. Physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of mortality world-wide. Asso-ciated with inactivity, a high prevalence of obesity is reported. Evidence based re-search indicate that sustainable physical activity and nutrition interventions will reduce the burden of physical inactivity and obesity. Poverty, and its inherent lack of food security, further impacts the health of people living marginalized, increas-ingly urban lifestyles. The intent of the project is to change attitudes and behavior towards physical activity participation and nutrition choices. Design thinking is typically implemented using a five-step process where the community is engaged with presenting the problem they experience, defining the problem, presenting so-lutions to the problem and finally developing a prototype in solving the problem they experience. The principle of the DT process is that the low resourced com-munity holds part of the answer to the problem and has a desire to change their health. The proposed solutions, coming directly from the participants, are there-fore considered viable. Once a desired prototype is developed and tested in the community, feasibility can be determined. The presence of these three factors, is expected to result in an innovation.

O uso de aditivos na calda dos fungicidas é recomendado pelos fabricantes, porém, o efeito de diferentes associações fungicida x adjuvantes é pouco conhecida. Foram realizados experimentos nas safras 2009/2010 e 2010/2011, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da adição de adjuvantes de diferentes naturezas químicas, sendo eles óleos mineral, óleo vegetal, e adjuvantes siliconados adicionados aos fungicidas picoxistrobina + ciproconazol, todos com uma e duas aplicações, totalizando doze tratamentos + testemunha (sem fungicida). Avaliou-se número de lesões, urédias, e porcentagem de área lesionada pela doença. Na safra 2010/2011, durante a segunda aplicação, foram utilizados papeis hidrossensíveis, avaliou-se diâmetro da mediana volumétrica (DMV), diâmetro da mediana numérica (DMN), coeficiente de variação de gotas (CV), densidade (número de gotas cm-²), volume recuperado (L ha-1) e área coberta pela calda fungicida (%). Nas duas safras, todos os adjuvantes associados ao fungicida proporcionaram redução na AACPD. Na Safra 2010/2011, os tratamentos com Silwet® e Nimbus®, em geral, resultou em maiores valores de DMV, CV, DMN, volume recuperado e porcentagem de área coberta. A adição de adjuvante siliconado, óleos minerais ou óleos vegetais ao fungicida são eficazes e não diferem do adjuvante Nimbus®, recomendado pelo fabricante dos fungicidas utilizados.

Published: June 2018

A sucessão soja-milho safrinha predominam na produção de grãos na região Centro-oeste, e a produtividade das culturas está relacionada com os níveis de cobertura do solo. Objetivou-se avaliar a produtividade das cultivares de soja BRS 284 e BRS 360 RR em sucessão a cultivos de outono-inverno. O trabalho foi realizado na área experimental da Embrapa Agropecuária Oeste, em Dourados, MS, em 2014/15 e 2015/16. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com parcelas subsubdivididas em quatro repetições. As parcelas principais foram os anos, as subparcelas os cultivos de outono-inverno (Brachiaria ruziziensis, consórcio de milho com B. ruziziensis, milho safrinha e feijão-caupi), e as subsubparcelas as cultivares de soja (BRS 284 e BRS 360 RR). Na floração avaliou-se altura de plantas, massa seca de folhas e de hastes. Na colheita avaliou-se a massa de 100 grãos e produtividade de grãos. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Em 2015/16 a soja apresentou maior massa de 100 grãos, altura de plantas e rendimento de grãos em relação à safra 2014/15, quando houve restrição hídrica. A cultivar BRS 360 RR apresentou maior rendimento de grãos (3.218 kg ha-1) em relação a cultivar BRS 284. A maior produtividade de grãos em 2014/15 (1.882 e 1.880 kg ha-1) foi em sucessão ao milho safrinha e B. ruziziensis, enquanto que 2015/16 não houve diferença. Em anos com deficiência hídrica, o benefício das culturas de outono-inverno sobre a produtividade da soja é mais relevante.

A colheita mecanizada de cana-de-açúcar crua influência os componentes de produção, a qualidade da matéria-prima industrializável e a longevidade do canavial. Considerando o ciclo da cana como semi-perene, o que implica em renovação no mínimo a cada cinco ou seis anos, é necessário avaliar os danos causados à soqueira em colheita mecanizada. Portanto, o objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade do corte mecanizado de cana-de-açúcar crua em área comercial, por meio do controle estatístico de qualidade (CEQ) na região de Vicentina-Ms, analisando indicadores de danos à soqueira e o porte do canavial. O experimento foi coletando-se 24 pontos na área para avaliação do porte do canavial e 29 pontos para a avaliação de dados na soqueira. Antes da entrada da colhedora na área foi avaliado o porte do canavial, com o uso de um triângulo com marcações da posição do colmo (ereto, acamado ou deitado), e posteriormente a qualidade do corte basal por meio de imagens obtidas de cada soqueira, identificando em sem danos, danos periféricos, rachaduras e fragmentados. Os dados foram avaliados pela estatística descritiva e por meio das cartas de controle individual, o controle estatístico de qualidade. O mecanismo de corte da colhedora em canavial de porte ereto afeta principalmente os indicadores de danos às soqueiras porcentagem de danos periféricos e rachaduras. O processo de corte basal demonstra instabilidade para os indicadores porcentagem de rachaduras e fragmentado. Há necessidade de monitoramento a longo prazo para apontar possíveis causas de variabilidade, com o intuito de auxiliar no gerenciamento e controle da operação.
Sobre inter-relações de gramáticas durante os estágios iniciais de aquisição fonológica de L3
Authors: Barreto Brenda Da Silva
Published: June 2018

Neste artigo, pretende-se apontar os principais fatores que possam caracterizar e atuar na transferência linguística durante a fase inicial de aquisição fonológica de uma terceira língua em fase adulta. Além disso, trataremos do trabalho de autores que se ocupam em explicar o papel da Gramática Universal no processo, apresentaremos a proposta de transferência regressiva de Amaro Rothman (2010) e defenderemos a inï¬‚uência das relações tipológicas entre as línguas como um dos possíveis fatores determinantes da transferência linguística. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2017.v13n3a16382
Tupi-Guarani loanwords in Southern Arawak: taking contact etymologies seriously
Authors: De Carvalho Fernando O.
Published: June 2018

This paper seeks to rigorously evaluate a set of claims that lexical items in Southern Arawak languages are loanwords from Tupi-Guarani languages. I show that, in most cases, these hypotheses can be rejected because the Arawak forms in question either have clear internal etymologies or because the noted similarities are too superfcial and no coherent or plausible picture for the phonological deviation between the putative loans and their presumed source forms can be oï¬€ered. In advancing internal etymologies for the target Arawak forms I will also try to cast light on aspects of the historical developments of these languages, as well as raise some so far unacknowledged issues for future research. Next, I consider some plausible cases of Guarani loans in one Southern Arawak language, Terena, explicitly arguing for these contact etymologies and placing these loanwords within a chronological stratum in Terena history. Complications related to dissimilar sources in Arawak-TupiGuarani contact and to the status of Wanderw¶rter are also brieï¬‚y addressed. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2017.v13n3a16383
A contribuição do português para a constituição lexical do Hunsrückisch em situação de contato linguístico
Authors: Spinassé Karen Pupp
Published: June 2018

O presente artigo aborda o contato linguístico Hunsrückisch-português, existente predominantemente no Sul do Brasil, apontando algumas inï¬‚uências da língua majoritária, o português, na língua minoritária de imigração de base alemã, Hunsrückisch. Com foco em empréstimos lexicais, visamos mostrar como a situação de contato inï¬‚uenciou o corpus e o status do Hunsrückisch -- no entanto, fazendo a ressalva de que nem tudo no sistema linguístico desta variedade é inï¬‚uência do português. O estudo de empréstimos nessa variedade é importante, pois o Hunsrückisch pode se constituir como língua-ponte para o aprendizado do alemão standard, atribuindo a ele uma utilidade prática e abrindo para ele e aos estudos contrastivos um espaço dentro do âmbito escolar, onde, até então, eles não tinham lugar. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2017.v13n3a16385
Uma nota sobre medir e contar com palavras emprestadas do português no kadiwéu
Authors: Sandalo Filomena
Published: June 2018

Kadiwéu é uma língua de classifcadores numerais. Uma característica desta tipologia linguística é a de que nomes nus não são átomos e, para individualizar um nome, um classifcador numeral é necessário. E, assim, numerais ocorrem obrigatoriamente com classifcadores. Curiosamente, entretanto, numerais emprestados do português não contam com tal exigência. Este artigo discute a coexistência de duas gramáticas de contagem na mesma língua. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2017.v13n3a16386
