Another Look at Female Choruses in Classical Athens
Authors: Budelmann F. , Power T.
Published: January 2016

This article revisits the issue of female choruses in Classical Athens and aims to provide an alternative to the common pessimistic view that emphasizes the restriction of female choreia by the gender ideology of the democracy. We agree that Athens did not have the kind of female choral culture that is documented for Sparta or Argos, but a review of the evidence suggests that women did dance regularly both in the city itself and elsewhere in Attica, although not at the ideologically most marked occasions such as the City Dionysia. The latter part of the article turns from actual choruses to their representation in textual and iconographic sources. An important reason why modern scholarship sometimes underestimates the extent of female choreia in Athens, we suggest, is that Athenian sources are often purposefully elusive in their representation of female choruses.

Published: January 2016

Isoeugenol exerts various beneficial effects on human health. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood. In this study, we observed that isoeugenol activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and increased glucose uptake in rat L6 myotubes. Isoeugenol-induced increase in intracellular calcium concentration and glucose uptake was inhibited by STO-609, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK). Isoeugenol also increased the phosphorylation of protein kinase C-α (PKCα). Chelation of calcium with BAPTA-AM blocked isoeugenol-induced AMPK phosphorylation and glucose uptake. Isoeugenol stimulated p38MAPK phosphorylation that was inhibited after pretreatment with compound C, an AMPK inhibitor. Isoeugenol also increased glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) expression and its translocation to the plasma membrane. GLUT4 translocation was not observed after the inhibition of AMPK and CaMKK. In addition, isoeugenol activated the Akt substrate 160 (AS160) pathway, which is downstream of the p38MAPK pathway. Knockdown of the gene encoding AS160 inhibited isoeugenol-induced glucose uptake. Together, these results indicate that isoeugenol exerts beneficial health effects by activating the AMPK/p38MAPK/AS160 pathways in skeletal muscle.
Corpus-based translation studies: Across genres, methods and disciplines
Authors: Defrancq Bart , De Clerck Bernard , De Sutter Gert
Published: January 2016

This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art research in translation studies as represented in this special issue, with a special focus on corpus-based approaches that (re-)connect translation studies with other fields of corpus-based research in linguistics or which explore new types of translation data in the broadest possible sense of the term. It does so by singling out papers that illustrate different methods of data harvesting, on the one hand, particularly in areas that are currently underrepresented in the field, i.e. interpreting and subtitling, and by presenting studies that approach translation data from a perspective other than that of “translation universals”.
A corpus-based multivariate analysis of linguistic norm-adherence in audiovisual and written translation
Authors: Prieels Lynn , Delaere Isabelle , Plevoets Koen , De Sutter Gert
Published: January 2016

The present paper investigates linguistic norm-adherence in Belgian Dutch written and audiovisual translation. More particularly, it is measured to what extent language use in subtitles, in comparison to regular written translations and non-translations, conforms to explicit linguistic norms. Additionally, we analyze which effect different contextual parameters have on the extent of norm-adherence in Belgian Dutch subtitles. We use the Dutch Parallel Corpus and the SoNaR Corpus, and we analyze the data by means of profile-based correspondence analysis, yielding a visualization of norm-adherence distances between the different translation modes and non-translations. The results reveal that the parameters speaker type and source language significantly affect the degree of linguistic normadherence, whereas program genre has no influence. It is also shown that norm-adherence in subtitles holds a middle position between written translations and non-translations, which is explained in terms of target audience and communicative risk.

Published: January 2016

Objective

Quantitative measures of facial form to evaluate treatment outcomes for cleft lip (CL) are currently limited. Computer-based analysis of three-dimensional (3D) images provides an opportunity for efficient and objective analysis. The purpose of this study was to define a computer-based standard of identifying the 3D midfacial reference plane of the face in children with unrepaired cleft lip for measurement of facial symmetry.

Participants

The 3D images of 50 subjects (35 with unilateral CL, 10 with bilateral CL, five controls) were included in this study.

Interventions

Five methods of defining a midfacial plane were applied to each image, including two human-based (Direct Placement, Manual Landmark) and three computer-based (Mirror, Deformation, Learning) methods.

Main Outcome Measure

Six blinded raters (three cleft surgeons, two craniofacial pediatricians, and one craniofacial researcher) independently ranked and rated the accuracy of the defined planes.

Results

Among computer-based methods, the Deformation method performed significantly better than the others. Although human-based methods performed best, there was no significant difference compared with the Deformation method. The average correlation coefficient among raters was .4; however, it was .7 and .9 when the angular difference between planes was greater than 6° and 8°, respectively.

Conclusions

Raters can agree on the 3D midfacial reference plane in children with unrepaired CL using digital surface mesh. The Deformation method performed best among computer-based methods evaluated and can be considered a useful tool to carry out automated measurements of facial symmetry in children with unrepaired cleft lip.

Authors: Al-Fahdawi Mahmood Abd , Farid Mary Medhat , El-Fotouh Mona Abou , El-Kassaby Marwa Abdelwahab
Published: January 2016

Objective

To assess the nasopharyngeal airway volume, cross-sectional area, and depth in previously repaired nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate versus bilateral cleft lip and palate patients compared with noncleft controls using cone-beam computed tomography with the ultimate goal of finding whether cleft lip and palate patients are more liable to nasopharyngeal airway obstruction.

Design

A retrospective analysis comparing bilateral cleft lip and palate, unilateral cleft lip and palate, and control subjects. Significance at P ≤ .05.

Setting

Cleft Care Center and the outpatient clinic that are both affiliated with our faculty.

Participants

Cone-beam computed tomography data were selected of 58 individuals aged 9 to 12 years: 14 with bilateral cleft lip and palate and 20 with unilateral cleft lip and palate as well as 24 age- and gender-matched noncleft controls.

Variables

Volume, depth, and cross-sectional area of nasopharyngeal airway were measured.

Results

Patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate showed significantly larger nasopharyngeal airway volume than controls and patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate ( P < .001). Patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate showed significantly larger cross-sectional area than those with unilateral cleft lip and palate ( P < .001) and insignificant cross-sectional area compared with controls ( P > .05). Patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate showed significantly larger depth than controls and those with unilateral cleft lip and palate ( P < .001). Patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate showed insignificant nasopharyngeal airway volume, cross-sectional area, and depth compared with controls ( P > .05).

Conclusions

Unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients did not show significantly less volume, cross-sectional area, or depth of nasopharyngeal airway than controls. From the results of this study we conclude that unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate patients at the studied age and stage of repaired clefts are not more prone to nasopharyngeal airway obstruction than controls.
Geogrid pullout load–strain behaviour and modelling using a transparent granular soil
Authors: Bathurst R. J. , Ezzein F. M.
Published: January 2016

The paper describes the results of a series of geogrid pullout tests that were carried out in a novel large pullout box with a transparent granular soil. The test apparatus and methodology allows the entire geogrid specimen to be visible through the bottom of the box. Specimen displacements are computed from image analysis of pictures taken through the transparent bottom of the pullout box during each test. The geogrid material was an integral punched and drawn biaxial polypropylene geogrid. A series of reference tests were carried out on geogrid specimens 2000 mm long and loaded at a front clamp displacement of 1 mm/min. The results of these tests have been reported in previous publication by the writers. In the current study, this earlier database of test results and interpretation of results is extended to include tests with specimens of different (shorter) length and loaded at other displacement rates. The tensile loads in the specimens are estimated using two different nonlinear rate-dependent load–strain models with parameters determined independently from in-air tests. The predicted loads are compared to measured loads recorded at the front and end of specimens trimmed to short lengths. In addition, the paper compares the load–displacement response of an unmodified geogrid specimen to that of a nominal identical specimen with the transverse members removed. The load–strain models are used to deduce the component of total tensile load in the geogrid carried by the transverse geogrid members. Finally, test results for nominal identical specimens tested in air and in soil show that there is no detectable influence of soil confinement on longitudinal tensile stiffness of the geogrid product used in this study.
Fabric characteristics and mechanical response of bio-improved sand to various treatment conditions
Authors: Terzis D. , Bernier-Latmani R. , Laloui L.
Published: January 2016

Investigation of the enhanced mechanical response of treated soils through microbially induced calcite precipitation requires extensive understanding of the pore structure. Depending on the applied treatment conditions, the resultant material exhibits distinct changes in the solid phase. In this paper, the focus is on the microstructural characteristics of bio-cemented soils derived from different treatment patterns. The objective is to clarify the predominant fabric features as a function of the adopted treatment conditions. For this purpose, microstructural observations with scanning electron microscopy are used to analyse the structure during the treatment and post-treatment. Mesocrystals – that is, aggregates of single particles – are identified as a distinct form of precipitate that provides the crucial grain-to-grain contact surfaces. The cemented samples are subsequently subjected to undrained triaxial shear test to investigate the response in three typical cases of bio-cemented samples produced under laboratory conditions: (a) one of very low calcite content (2·5% w/w), (b) one with inhomogeneous distribution of calcite and (c) for the case of homogeneously distributed calcite mass. Improved characteristics are obtained in all three cases.
Multiscale analysis of shear failure of thick-walled hollow cylinder in dry sand
Authors: Guo N. , Zhao J. , Sun W. C.
Published: January 2016

A novel hierarchical multiscale model has been applied to simulate the thick-walled hollow cylinder tests in dry sand and to investigate the corresponding shear failures. The combined finite-element method and discrete-element method (FEM/DEM) model employs the FEM as a vehicle to advance the solution for a macroscopic non-linear boundary value problem incrementally. It is, meanwhile, free of conventional macroscopic phenomenological constitutive law, which is replaced by discrete-element simulations conducted with representative volume elements (RVEs) associated with the Gauss quadrature points of the FEM mesh. Numerical simulations proposed by the authors indicate that this multiscale approach is capable of replicating the evolution of cavity pressure during cavity expansion – before and after the onset of strain localisation – in qualitative agreement with laboratory tests. In particular, the curvilinear shear bands observed from experiments have been reproduced numerically. The information provided by the mesoscale DEM and the macroscale FEM reveals a close linkage between significant particle rotations taking place inside the dilative shear bands and the highly anisotropic microstructural attributes of the associated RVEs.
Language and meanings of human subjectivity in urban culture narratives: analyzing stickers used on cars
Authors: Gustsack Felipe , Rocha Sandra Maria de Castro
Published: January 2016

Based on conceptions about language, urban technologies and narratives consummated within everyday life interactions, we problematize the cultural practice of narration in the urban context. We present the analysis of the data gathered during a research developed in the city of Santa Maria, Brazil, involving the collection and analysis of images and conversations with car drivers, as well as readers of car stickers, popularly known as “happy family” stickers. Among other findings, we observed that “happy family” stickers, strategically applied on the bumpers of cars, instigate several enlightening meaning processes of individual and collective forms of self and hetero identitarian narrative in the urban context.

O recente desenvolvimento das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) criou condições para que as pessoas estejam constantemente online. Hoje em dia, é comum receber um e-mail que termina com uma frase como “enviado pelo meu iPhone”, o que significa que o remetente usou o seu telemóvel para o enviar e, consequentemente, a sua localização é incerta - pode ser um restaurante, no trabalho, em casa ou até em movimento. Até há poucos anos a interação social em mobilidade só era possível quando as pessoas não viajavam sozinhas. As telecomunicações mudaram este cenário, trazendo as comunicações móveis para o espaço-tempo da deslocação. Nos últimos anos, o crescimento das vendas de smartphones e iPhones alteraram os cenários da mobilidade. Em que medida está esta tendência ligada a uma prática de lazer ou a um prolongamento do tempo de trabalho? Este texto debate a recente evolução do espaço-tempo da mobilidade a partir dum suporte empírico constituído por um conjunto de dados que combina os resultados de dois inquéritos sobre a mobilidade nas áreas metropolitanas Portuguesas, entrevistas em mobilidade e métodos de visual research.

The Research of High Voltage Auxiliary Power System Neutral Point Grounding Modes between the Nuclear Power Plant and Conventional Fossil Fuel Power Plant
Authors: Zhang Yunfeng , Pan Hourong
Published: January 2016

Currently, in power plants, the application of the extinction coil in high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point is less experienced. A research done on nuclear power plant and conventional fossil fuel power plant proved that using an auxiliary power system’s different characteristics was leading to different demands of the grounding modes. Thus, this research was done by selecting the grounding mode of high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point on the main nuclear power plants and the partial fossil fuel power plants together with the calculation of practical engineering, and optimal design schemes. The high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes have been induced in the large-scale into the nuclear power plant and the conventional fossil fuel power plant. Methods in determining the neutral point grounding modes are used by analyzing the principles commonly used grounding modes and requirements of related codes. First, choose the suitable grounding mode according to the calculation result of capacitive current. Then, choose more conducive grounding mode to the operation of power plant according to the operation of technology equipment. The power is required from the configuration, connection of auxiliary power and the cut from the accident of auxiliary power. As some power plants which are under-construction will be putting into operation one after another, the whole set of perfect security arrangements and operating experiences will also be accumulated inevitably. As a conclusion, high voltage auxiliary power system neutral point grounding modes directly affect the running of the auxiliary power system and even affect the security of the nuclear safety and the operation of the power plant. I hope this article can play a role for reference on the selection of the auxiliary power system grounding modes.

Authors: Park Jae‐Hwan , Cha Hyun‐Suk , Kim Hong‐Kyun , Park Young‐Seok
Published: January 2016

Background: A newly introduced implant‐mediated drug delivery system (IMDDS) showed promising results in a rabbit tibia model. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether dexamethasone administered by the IMDDS has sustained effects in the canine mandible – a different anatomic location, in a different species.

Methods: IMDDS was installed at the mesial root of the second premolar site in the mandibles of six beagle dogs. After complete healing, 10 mg dexamethasone was administered through the IMDDS. The same amount of drug was administered to five control animals by intramuscular injection. The release pattern was monitored for 2 weeks by measuring plasma drug concentrations.

Results: A sustained plasma dexamethasone concentration was detected after a peak at 6 hours until the end of the observation period, despite individual variations. The concentration was lower than reported in the rabbit tibia model. In contrast, plasma concentration of the control group showed an early peak at 2 hours and decreased rapidly.

Conclusion: Dexamethasone was effectively released from the IMDDS for a prolonged time in the canine mandible model.

Background: Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) has previously been characterized as one of the most osteogenic growth factors of the BMP family. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, previous experiments have only used adenovirus transfection (gene therapy). With the recent development of recombinant human BMP9 (rhBMP9), the present study investigates the osteopromotive potential of BMP9 versus rhBMP2 when loaded onto collagen membranes.

Methods: ST2 stromal bone marrow cells were seeded onto: 1) control; 2) low‐dose rhBMP2 (10 ng/mL); 3) high‐dose rhBMP2 (100 ng/mL); 4) low‐dose rhBMP9 (10 ng/mL); and 5) high‐dose rhBMP9 (100 ng/mL) porcine collagen membranes. The following parameters were compared among groups: 1) cell adhesion (at 8 hours); 2) cell proliferation (at 1, 3, and 5 days); 3) real‐time polymerase chain reaction for genes encoding runt‐related transcription factor 2; 4) alkaline phosphatase (ALP); 5) bone sialoprotein ([BSP] at 3 and 14 days); and 6) alizarin red staining (at 14 days).

Results: rhBMP2 and rhBMP9 demonstrated little effect on cell attachment and proliferation; however, pronounced increases were observed in osteoblast differentiation. All groups significantly induced ALP messenger RNA (mRNA) levels at 3 days and BSP levels at 14 days; however, high‐dose rhBMP9 showed significantly higher values compared with all other groups for ALP levels (five‐fold increase at 3 days and two‐fold increase at 14 days). Alizarin red staining further revealed both concentrations of rhBMP9 induced up to three‐fold more staining compared with rhBMP2.

Conclusions: Results indicate that the combination of collagen membranes with rhBMP9 induced significantly higher ALP mRNA expression and alizarin red staining compared with rhBMP2. These findings suggest that rhBMP9 may be a suitable growth factor for future regenerative procedures in bone biology.

This is the piece of research carried out with respect to current advertisement scenario with focusing Indian context & Indian customer’s perception about non-sense advertisement, but as par human psychology, feelings, emotions & ethics are same world wise so could be applicable across the globe. In this resent paper I discussed several facts about non-sense& meaningless advertisements what I found through research analysis using research methodology fact finding tools pattern interview techniques, which is for reconfirmation followed by questionnaire methods for accuracy in data collection. Collected data filtered &re-filtered several times with several sort to generate accurate information about non- sense advertisement & it’s perception on customers for buying decision of products &services. To conduct this research & result finding purpose six months’ time slot was given for error free data collection for analysis. Hence all results are accurate, sensitive& effective & remain consistent with respective numbers of year due to the unchangeable human psychology, feeling& emotions as well as social ethics.
O debate retomado: conflitos e convergências entre comunicação e informação
Authors: Weber Maria Helena , Stumpf Ida Regina
Published: January 2016

Este artigo se inscreve na memória do Programa de PósGraduação em Comunicação e Informação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, como parte de um debate permanente sobre dois campos de conhecimento: Comunicação e Ciência da Informação. Publicado originalmente, em 2003, o artigo amplia a problematização do paradoxo sobre a autonomia epistemológica dos dois campos e a sua dependência políticoinstitucional. Em vinte anos, a consolidação do PPGCOM/UFRGS respondeu à crítica das sucessivas avaliações que questionavam a sua área de concentração – Comunicação e Informação. A resistência e experiência do Programa, hoje, podem contribuir para o debate sobre a necessária interdisciplinaridade da ciência, de acordo com o Plano Nacional de Pós-Graduação 2010-2020. A reescritura desse artigo se situa nessa direção, tendo por base as perspectivas históricas e conceituais que permitem a identificação de três dimensões de interdisciplinaridade entre Comunicação e Informação: dependência, mediação e intervenção.
Os rastros de memória e a dinâmica da criação na teledramaturgia brasileira
Authors: Coca Adriana Pierre , Rosário Nísia Martins do
Published: January 2016

O artigo discorre sobre a memória na teledramaturgia. Nosso principal aporte teórico-metodológico é a Semiótica da Cultura na confluência com a narrativa de ficção. Partimos de um levantamento de técnicas narrativas enraizadas nas matrizes clássicas de escrever histórias ficcionais para TV, principalmente as características herdadas do melodrama e do folhetim. Essa trajetória nos ajuda a entender o papel da memória dos sistemas culturais na composição da ficção seriada de televisão, sobretudo da telenovela, considerando a cultura como uma memória coletiva por incorporar a historicidade dos sistemas de signos. Conclui-se que a ficção seriada televisual contemporânea é um texto que traz à tona a reconfiguração nos modos de se produzir e narrar próprios da era da comunicação digital, constituindo-se na atualização de processos graduais e explosivos. Ainda assim, essas mesmas narrativas se mantêm ancoradas na linguagem clássica.
Reflexões sobre as pesquisas em TV no Brasil - propostas metodológicas e formas de análise dos telejornais
Authors: Porcello Flávio Antônio Camargo
Published: January 2016

A TV completa 65 anos no Brasil em 2015. Muito diferente e mais abrangente do que a pioneira TV Tupi, de São Paulo, em sua primeira transmissão em setembro de 1950, a televisão no Brasil atinge o público em diversas plataformas, suportes e dispositivos. E continua sendo a principal fonte de informação para os brasileiros. Por isso deve ser estudada com atenção e interesse. Este é o foco do presente texto. As formas de análise dos conteúdos informativos transmitidos pela TV devem evoluir e avançar, da mesma forma que as emissoras fazem em relação aos seus públicos e audiências. Faremos uma recuperação histórica e cronológica das fases da TV no país e dos grupos de pesquisas voltados para os estudos na área. A metodologia será estudo de caso, com observação participante. O objetivo é o de construir coletivamente propostas metodológicas que permitam análises dos telejornais de forma precisa e aprofundada.
Da televisão para o cinema: paródia e memória da ditadura militar brasileira
Authors: Kornis Mônica Almeida
Published: January 2016

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de examinar como os filmes A taça do mundo é nossa (2003), dirigido por Lula Buarque de Hollanda e Reis e ratos (2012), dirigido por Mauro Lima representaram a história da ditadura militar brasileira. Com base na discussão sobre o contexto da transmediação no cinema e na televisão, pretende-se analisar como a construção de uma memória sobre esse período, em ambos os filmes produzidos pela Globo Filmes, se pautou em paródias baseadas nos bemsucedidos formatos televisivos criados na Rede Globo ao longo dos anos 1980 por Guel Arraes e pelo grupo Casseta & Planeta. No cinema, essas produções perderam certamente a dimensão inovadora contida, décadas antes, em seriados televisivos. Ao mesmo tempo, construíram uma memória que coloca aquele período como algo acabado no passado, longe de tensões do momento em que os filmes foram produzidos.
La cámara como principal herramienta para la investigación audiovisual de los procesos de dinamización intercultural mediatizados
Authors: Lorite-García Nicolás
Published: January 2016

Este texto va destinado a mostrar diferentes ideas sobre la cámara como principal herramienta metodológica para investigar el tratamiento mediático de la realidad y en concreto la re-presentación social en los medios de comunicación, realizadas desde el MIGRACOM (Observatorio y Grupo de Investigación de Migración y Comunicación) de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), durante las dos últimas décadas (1996-2015). Se usa la cámara a partir del estudio interdisciplinar (comunicación, antropología, pedagogía, política, sociología y lingüística) del mismo objeto de estudio audiovisual y la multimodalidad metodológica o análisis transversal desde la producción, emisión, recepción y dinamización de los mensajes audiovisuales. Asimismo, la cámara permite vincular la investigación científica, académica, con la producción audiovisual real. Su uso emerge del mestizaje de la racionalidad cuantitativa con la espontaneidad cotidiana.
Quel paradigme pour interpréter les genres télévisuels?
Authors: Jost François
Published: January 2016

Les genres télévisuels sont nombreux et ils ne cessent de proliférer. Comment trouver les interprétants fondamentaux qui permettent de penser les genres passés et à venir? C’est à cette question que j’ai tenté de répondre à travers un modèle conceptuel qui a évolué au cours des ans, passant notamment d’une catégorisation en mode d’énonciation à une catégorisation en monde. De mode à monde, il y a un changement de paradigme. Cet article propose donc un retour épistémologique sur trois façons d’envisager les genres télévisuels. D’abord comme une promesse qui guide les inférences et les croyances des téléspectateurs, et qui peut être identifiée à un niveau sémiologique, ensuite, à un niveau pragmatique, en fonction de la reconnaissance d’un mode d’énonciation qui conditionne la valeur de vérité du programme, enfin par l’ancrage dans un monde, modèle qui permet d’expliquer pourquoi l’interprétation des genres télévisuels est un enjeu juridique, économique et communicationnel.
