Evidence for Subcortical Plasticity after Paired Stimulation from a Wearable Device
Authors: Germann Maria , Baker Stuart N.
Published: January 2021

Existing non-invasive stimulation protocols can generate plasticity in the motor cortex and its corticospinal projections; techniques for inducing plasticity in subcortical circuits and alternative descending pathways such as the reticulospinal tract (RST) are less well developed. One possible approach developed by this laboratory pairs electrical muscle stimulation with auditory clicks, using a wearable device to deliver stimuli during normal daily activities. In this study, we applied a variety of electrophysiological assessments to male and female healthy human volunteers during a morning and evening laboratory visit. In the intervening time (∼6 h), subjects wore the stimulation device, receiving three different protocols, in which clicks and stimulation of the biceps muscle were paired at either low or high rate, or delivered at random. Paired stimulation: (1) increased the extent of reaction time shortening by a loud sound (the StartReact effect); (2) decreased the suppression of responses to transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) following a loud sound; (3) enhanced muscle responses elicited by a TMS coil oriented to induce anterior-posterior (AP) current, but not posterior-anterior (PA) current, in the brain. These measurements have all been suggested to be sensitive to subcortical, possibly reticulospinal, activity. Changes were similar for either of the two paired stimulus rates tested, but absent after unpaired (control) stimulation. Taken together, these results suggest that pairing clicks and muscle stimulation for long periods does indeed induce plasticity in subcortical systems such as the RST.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSubcortical systems such as the reticulospinal tract (RST) are important motor pathways, which can make a significant contribution to functional recovery after cortical damage such as stroke. Here, we measure changes produced after a novel non-invasive stimulation protocol, which uses a wearable device to stimulate for extended periods. We observed changes in electrophysiological measurements consistent with the induction of subcortical plasticity. This protocol may prove an important tool for enhancing motor rehabilitation, in situations where insufficient cortical tissue survives to be a plausible substrate for recovery of function.
The Effect of Agency Costs on Hedging Policy in Indonesian Public Companies
Authors: Paranita Ekayana Sangkasari , Aditya Elma Muncar
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of agency costs on company hedging policies. This study use the concept of hedging policies derived from synchronizing foreign exchange derivatives based on agency theory and hedging with foreign exchange debt based on balancing theory. The novelty of this research is the application of the synthesis of agency theory and balancing theory as indicators of hedging policies. The hedging policy based on foreign exchange derivatives is synchronized with the hedging policy based on foreign debt. The population was companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2012-2017. Using the purposive sampling method, 78 companies for each year from 2012 - 2017 were obtained with a total of 468 data. This research used a panel data regression method. The hypotheses were tested with the Hausman Test, which shows the best research model is the Fixed Effect Model. The results of the study concluded that financial distress and underinvestment had a significant positive effect on hedging policies, while business risk did not affect hedging policies because most companies had relatively low foreign sales. The findings of this study have theoretical implications that support agency and balancing theory.

This study aims to determine the tendency of celebrity endorse mediated by brand awareness impact to attract buying interest from the public. This is because celebrities are people who are well known to the public and have there are charm. So that with the support of celebrities will have an impact on the sale of their products. Some marketplaces use celebrities as brand ambassadors to attract buyers, besides it will give celebrity brands that are constantly remembered by customers. In this study because the population is unknown, the sampling technique uses purposive sampling as many as 310 respondents. The analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that brand awareness mediates the influence of celebrities on customer interest when a celebrity carries advertisements will give the impression to customers that the celebrity has a good reputation and attractiveness will have a good impact. Besides the marketplace in choosing a celebrity will look for those who can deliver advertisements with professionals. The implication of this research is the need for celebrity support related to the importance of attracting peopleâ€™s purchasing power to the marketplace, in addition to a well-known combination of a good reputation and attractive appearance has added value that will provide reminders to customers.
Narcissism, Entrepreneurial Learning and Entrepreneurial Failure
Authors: Rahman Hafiz , Amalia Sofi
Published: January 2021

This study evidences that psychological construct in terms of narcissistic behavior through an excessive use of social media will not boost entrepreneurs to learn from past failure experiences in business. By considering excessive narcissism through social media as a personality disorder, this study examines it as a possible cause of entrepreneurial failure. The study uses data from two sets of questionnaire with one hundred and fifty failed entrepreneurs. Analysis is quantitatively undertaken with Structural Equation Modelling/SEM and is supported by the result of Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16/NPI-16 questionnaire which reflects the degree of respondentsâ€™ narcissistic behavior. The study infers that the greater narcissistic behavior entrepreneurs has, even with the presence of entrepreneurial learning from the past failures, may lead entrepreneurs to experience subsequent failure. Stubbornness and hypocrisy are two reasons behind this. Therefore, entrepreneurs should be aware of their negative character-personality and psychological aspects when performing entrepreneurial processes.

Published: January 2021

The pathophysiology of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection is poorly understood, despite high mortality. An evidence review was conducted to examine the biomechanical, chemical and genetic factors involved in thoracic aortic pathology. The composition of connective tissue and smooth muscle cells can mediate important mechanical properties that allow the thoracic aorta to withstand and transmit pressures. Genetic syndromes can affect connective tissue and signalling proteins that interrupt smooth muscle function, leading to tissue failure. There are complex interplaying factors that maintain thoracic aortic function in health and are disrupted in disease, signifying an area for extensive research.

Authors: Uddi Mohammad Rokan
Published: January 2021

Macro-benthic algae Catenella nipae was cultured from November '06 to August '07 at the Salimpur planted mangrove area of Chittagong Coast. Growth of the cultured C. nipae on bamboo poles was measured during the investigation period. Average growth of C. nipae on bamboo poles was recorded 0.19cm/day. Physico-chemical parameters of water and soil were recorded during culture period in the tidal swamp of Salimpur mangrove area. Water temperature ranges from 24.0 to 31.5˚C, salinity from 6.0 to 21.0‰, dissolved oxygen (DO) from 3.8 to 5.8ml/l, water pH from 7.2 to 8.4, total dissolved solids (TDS) from 410 to 598mg/l, , total suspended solids (TSS) from 50 to 118mg/l, Total alkalinity from 95 to118 ppm, NO2-N from 0.18 to 0.47mg/l, NO3-N from 0.56 to 0.69mg/l, PO4-P from 0.90 to1.10 mg/l, HCO3 from 69.88 to 93.80mg/l, were recorded during culture period. Soil organic carbon, organic matter, soil PO4-P, soil pH were ranges from 2.22-2.37%, 4.22-4.51%, 1.10-1.39mg/100g and 5.9-6.7, respectively in the culture area. Growth of C. nipae showed a significant positive relation with water and soil parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DF=17, P=0.006, t=3), NO3-N concentration (DF=17, P=0.055, t=2) and a negative correlation with HCO3 concentration (DF=17, P=0.004, t=3). Physico-chemical parameters of both water and soil revealed that the coastal area of Salimpur could be a significant place for commercial culture of seaweeds C. nipae in Bangladesh.

Published: January 2021

Differences in the herpetofauna of the shelterbelts, which are located at different distances from the fields treated with pesticides, have been studied. It was found that the herpetofauna of artificial forest plantations on the right bank of the Samara River consists of five species: Bufotes viridis, Pelobates vespertinus, Natrix natrix, Coronella austriaca and Lacerta agilis. The grass snake was only found in forest plantations that remote at a distance of 5 kilometres from agrocenoses and could not be treated with pesticides. In the studied areas, two species of snakes (C. austriaca and N. natrix) had the lowest numbers. Amphibians and the sand lizard are the most numerous animals in both groups of shelterbelts. The highest indicator of relative dominance in the herpetofauna of forest belts was observed for the sand lizard, which reflects the greater ecological plasticity of this species. The Renkonen index (more than 90%) showed the similarity of herpetofauna groups of shelterbelts both remote and adjacent to agrocenoses treated by pesticides. The herpetofauna groups of forest belts of both groups had similar indices of dominancy (0.35–0.46), alignment (0.78–0.97) and diversity according to the Shannon (1.07–1.22) and Simpson indices (0.29– 0.35). The lowest indicator of species richness (0.48) is determined for the forest belts adjacent to agrocenoses. Thus, artificial forest plantations that are directly affected by agricultural activities (pesticide use, reduction in food, etc.) can also act as refugia to maintain biodiversity. Nevertheless, this will depend on the amount and duration of pesticide use, so further research is needed for definitive conclusions. Forest belts, which have existed for half a century or more, are a kind of separate ecosystems that can help in understanding various issues of Zoology (fauna and species distribution), Ecology (population dynamics, population structure) and microevolution (processes in new relatively isolated systems).
Hajj and the chaos of the Great War: Pilgrims of the Dutch East Indies in World War I (1914-1918)
Authors: Supratman Frial Ramadhan
Published: January 2021

The outbreak of World War 1 in 1914 had a major effect on global interactions during the early 20th century. Travel from one country to another to conduct trade, study, research, and religious pilgrimages become disrupted. Hajj (pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca) is one of the areas affected by the outbreak of this great war. The number of pilgrims from the Dutch East Indies dropped dramatically. Hajj ships also ceased operations. Besides, many Dutch East Indies pilgrims in Mecca were unable to return home and suffered life misery during World War I. This article investigates the impact of World War I (1914-1918) on Dutch East Indies pilgrims. The purpose of this article is to find out how Dutch East Indies Muslims responded to hajj during World War I. In this study, the researcher used historical methods that emphasised the exploration of the sources of Early 20th century Malay and Dutch newspapers. The researcher argues that in line with the events of World War I, the Dutch colonial government still intervened against religious practices in the Dutch East Indies, especially the hajj, thus worsening the situation of the Dutch East Indies pilgrims in Mecca. Opponents of this policy, such as R.A.A. Djajadiningrat, Hasan Mustapa, Cokroaminoto, Tafsir Anom, and Rinkes, formed the Hajj Assistance Committee to help pilgrims return to the Dutch East Indies.
Homo Sacer: Ahmadiyya and Its Minority Citizenship (A Case Study of Ahmadiyya Community in Tasikmalaya)
Authors: Mursyidi Ach. Fatayillah
Published: January 2021

Citizenship is among the notions mostly contested after the collapse of a long-standing authoritarian regime in 1998. The reform era – after 1998 - radically transformed Indonesia into a democratic country and brought many other issues including minority issues into the forefront. Unlike other countries that draw their citizenship on a clear formula between religious and secular paradigm, Indonesia, due to ambivalence of its religion-state relation, exhibits fuzzy color of citizenship that leaves space for majority domination over the minority. In consequence, the status of Ahmadiyya for instance, as one of an Islamic minority group, is publicly questioned both politically and theologically. Capitalized by two Indonesian prominent scholars, Burhani (2014) and Sudibyo (2019), I conducted approximately one-month field research in Tasikmalaya and found that what has been experienced by Ahmadiyya resembles Homo Sacer in a sense that while recognised legally through constitutional laws, those who violate their rights are immune to legal charges. This leads to nothing but emboldening the latter to persistently minoritise the former in any possible ways.
Alliance of Ummah in Rural Areas: A New Perspective on Islamic Populism in Indonesia
Authors: Azharghany Rojabi , Siahaan Hotman , Muzakki Akh.
Published: January 2021

Islamic populism in Indonesia is perceived as an alliance of the people on behalf of the ummah in urban areas, against the ruling elites who enjoy the promises of peace and prosperity more than capitalism, modernism and democracy. This paper though intends to disclose the Islamic populism in rural areas through the power of capital and symbols as part of the cultural heterogenity between alliances in rural areas and large cities that simply focuses on political power. This research embraces the socio-cultural approach by applying the theory of generative structuralism penned by Pierre Bourdieu in order to analyze the resistance of cultural heterogenity by invigorating the cultural reproduction and symbols dominance to thwart the ummah alliance in urban areas. The results of this research show that the Islamic populism in rural areas upholds the belief in salvation, peace and unity, by reinforcing the cultural heterogenity among the congregations on various bases. In spite of domestication process in Islamic populism by the ruling elite, the ummah alliance in rural areas cannot be triggered due to their firm belief in salvation, which differs from the Islamic populism in large cities where a symbol of injustice of the bourgeoisie and the ruling elites prevails. The Islamic populism in rural areas has caused the failure of Islamic populism in large cities since their main discourse solely considers the middle class, in contrast to the Islamic populism in rural areas that might may welcome both the middle class and the lower class.
E-innovation Platforms in Journalism Teaching: Cybermedia as a professional educational tool
Authors: Martínez-Arias Santiago-M. , Parra-Valcarce David
Published: January 2021

This paper analyzes changes in the training of college students within the implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) with particular emphasis on teaching of future communication professionals. I focus on two cyberjournals, launched at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. During five academic courses a total of 2.349 students have participated in this project, with retention rates above 96 percent. In the period studied, the cyberjournals have generated 1.526 multimedia in-depth reports giving rise to more than 16.756 comments from media readers. Additionally, there have been 2.828 videos, now all online on the cyberjournals YouTube channel, which have received more than 400,000 views. This analysis concludes that there has been a real increase in teaching hours above the notion of ECTS credit, and that this situation is accepted by students without problem. On the other hand, based on the descriptive method used, it is shown that students accept and participate in the formation of journalistic projects in the digital environment that comply with the general regulations of the EHEA, and in the particular guidelines that each University can develop.
Making health news: Examining how health influencers drive coverage of maternal and child healthcare issues in Nigerian newspapers
Authors: Adeniran Raheemat , Oso Lai
Published: January 2021

Nigeria is a developing country with varied developmental challenges. It has one of the worst maternal and child healthcare (MCH) indices, globally. The media, as a vital element within the society, has the potential to contribute to improving MCH through appropriate framing and communication of MCH issues. Achieving media inclusion poses a challenge as media contents are often products of varied power relations. Extant studies have established that health is often not primed in Nigerian newspapers where politics and business hold sway. News media contents are also influenced by varied factors which exists both within and outside of news media organisations. Premised on sociology of news as critical perspective, this study examines power relations in newspaper representation of MCH issues in Nigeria. Combining content analysis of MCH-related stories in newspapers with in-depth interview of newspaper health editors, it explores factors and underlying reasons driving coverage of MCH. It finds that government, local and international aid agencies, and civil societies often influence coverage of MCH issues. These groups drive media representation of MCH through established journalistic routine and reporter-source relations, often favouring priming of official news sources and ‘powerful’ elements within the society, as a necessity for maximising limited news media resources. This paper identifies various forms in which these groups manipulates media representation of MCH, urging the media to be more proactive in driving agenda for improved MCH for the citizenry, and not accede to satisfying peculiar interests over public interest.
Increased natriuretic peptides not associated with heart failure
Authors: Chaulin A. M. , Duplyakov D. V.
Published: January 2021

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are key diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for patients with heart failure (HF). The main mechanism for increasing serum NP levels, which is characteristic of heart failure, is secretion in response to myocardial wall distention. At the same time, according to Russian and foreign literature, an increase in NPs is reported in a number of many other conditions that are not associated with HF. The study of these causes and mechanisms is necessary to improve the differential diagnosis of HF.

This article discusses the mechanisms of increasing NPs and their diagnostic value in heart failure, as well as a number of other conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, exercise, kidney failure, taking cardiotoxic drugs (chemotherapy) and sacubitril/valsartan. The article also provides data on identifying NPs in non-invasively obtained biological fluids (urine and oral fluid).

Published: January 2021

Abstract This article aimed to check the association between clinical and epidemiological predictors of sick leave due to mental and behavioral disorders in public servants. Two databases were used: one epidemiological, with demographic and occupational data of public servants from Santa Catarina, enabling prevalence calculations for this population; one clinical, with results from three instruments in a representative sample of 822 servants. The prevalence of epidemiological variables from each sample servant has been associated with their clinical scores (obtained by the instruments), allowing comparisons between clinical and epidemiological predictions. As a result, it was found that regression models covering both clinical and epidemiological variables have explained larger parts of the outcomes’ range (reaching 60.7% of benefits granted). It is concluded, finally, that although psychology and epidemiology are distinct sciences, their remarkable contributions to health complement each other. Such articulation is rare in literature and enhances the psychological tradition of clinical studies. Therefore, it enriches the field in order to promote and protect mental health, as well as to prevent mental disorders, in work environments.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the activity of rhizobia isolates inoculated in large (18 mm) and small (11 mm) seeds on lima bean growth, nodulation and N fixation. Selected rhizobia isolates were compared with a reference strain CIAT899 and two controls without inoculation. Large seeds contributed for highest plant growth, nodulation and N fixation than small seeds. The isolates UFPI-59, UFPI-18 and UFPI-38 promoted the highest values of shoot and root dry weight, respectively. The isolates UFPI-32 promoted the highest values of nodule number, while UFPI-59 promoted the highest values of nodule dry weight. The isolates UFPI-38 and UFPI-59 promoted the highest accumulation of N. This study showed that seed size really influences lima bean growth, nodulation and BNF. Considering rhizobia isolates, UFPI-59, UFPI-38, and UFPI-18 contributed for plant growth, promoted better nodulation and effectiveness on biological N fixation.

Objective: to identify the factors associated with the risk of violence against older adult women. Method: this is a quantitative, analytical, and cross-sectional research conducted with 122 older adult females in the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Data collection was carried out using validated instruments adapted to Brazil. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequency) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s chi- square, Spearman’s correlation test, and Multiple Logistic Regression). Results: there was prevalence of a risk of abuse against older adult women under 70 years of age, literate, without a stable relationship, living alone, without any work activity, and who had an income higher than the minimum wage. There is a significant association between the risk of violence among older women with a higher number of chronic health conditions (24; 77.4%), and who are less active in advanced activities (42; 70.0%). A reduction in quality of life and satisfaction with life, and the onset of depressive symptoms, increase the risk of violence. Conclusion: multimorbidity, low functional capacity, depressive symptoms, low quality of life and low satisfaction with life, a high number of chronic conditions, depressive symptoms, and functional dependence to perform daily activities can be conditioning factors for the emergence of abuse against older adults.

Published: January 2021

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar algumas reflexões que auxiliem no aprofundamento de pesquisas sobre os aspectos transnacionais e de universalização da Congregação da Missão, instituto religioso católico de vida apostólica masculina. Buscamos refletir acerca dos esforços dessa congregação para contornar tensões internas da instituição e aquelas referentes às tendências centralizadoras e expansionistas, entre o contexto local e o universal. Analisamos o modo como esses padres atuaram no processo de evangelização católica, por meio das missões, durante a administração do Superior Geral Jean-Baptiste Étienne (1801-1874). Para isso, dividimos o texto em duas partes: na primeira, faz-se a apresentação sucinta do percurso histórico dessa instituição católica, com sua normativa e formulação de um modelo ou cultura missionária; na segunda, analisam-se alguns aspectos da reforma realizada por Étienne, dando especial atenção à expansão da congregação pelo mundo, à hierarquia, ao disciplinamento e aos instrumentos informativos. Terminaremos analisando dois casos práticos das missões lazaristas no Ceará, província do Império do Brasil, nos quais buscaremos perceber o processo de flexibilização das regras e diretrizes centrais, bem como as consequências da desobediência a elas.
Política e origem: abordagens sobre poder, resistência e direito em Michel Foucault e Hannah Arendt
Authors: Oliveira Filho João Francisco Gabriel de
Published: January 2021

O presente artigo propõe tematizar as abordagens dos pensadores Hannah Arendt e Michel Foucault sobre a origem da politicidade e os pressupostos historiográficos jacentes em suas respectivas teorias políticas (ventiladas pela análise preambular do paradigma do nascimento e da vida). Nesse afã, procura relacionar os diferentes enfoques sugeridos com certas possibilidades de resistência política aventadas pelos mesmos autores. Em consequência, resulta avistar condições de possibilidade para (re) pensar a problemática do poder político pela maneira como se pensa a temática da história e as possíveis temporalidades inerentes a ela. Importa, em outras palavras, enxergar qual a relação que uma determinada noção histórica de origem política tem com a maneira de se pensar determinados fenômenos jurídico-políticos e seus modos de agenciamento.

Resumo A garantia da segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN) por meio da oferta de alimentos de qualidade é essencial para o desenvolvimento humano e fator de proteção para melhores condições de saúde da população. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a qualidade dos alimentos, segundo o sistema de produção, e sua relação com a SAN. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura baseada no método Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (Prisma), cujo levantamento de dados totalizou 389 estudos, sendo 14 incluídos. Os estudos comparativos entre alimentos produzidos em sistemas convencionais e alternativos de base ecológica mostraram efeitos benéficos destes últimos à saúde, uma vez que possuem qualidade nutricional superior e são mais seguros para o consumo. Em relação ao impacto ambiental, tais alimentos favorecem a produção sustentável. Ao contrário, o modelo de produção convencional mostrou limitações, como a contaminação mundial da cadeia alimentar por resíduos de agrotóxicos e fertilizantes sintéticos que podem causar danos à saúde e ao meio ambiente, levando à insegurança alimentar e nutricional. Informações que contribuam para o fortalecimento dos sistemas agroalimentares sustentáveis são ferramentas essenciais para criação de políticas públicas que atuem como estratégia intersetorial de promoção da saúde e de segurança alimentar e nutricional.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the influences of the factors corn (Zea mays) genotypes, crop seasons, endosperm texture, genetic background, and genetic basis on putative haploid rates (PHRs) according to the expression of gene R1-navajo (R1-nj). Forty-one corn genotypes were evaluated as pollen receptors, in crosses with the Krasnodar haploid inducer, in two crops (summer and winter), in the municipality of Maringá, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized with ten replicates (ears). The response variable analyzed was the PHR, determined by the proportion of putative haploids, obtained through the R1-nj marker, in relation to the number of diploid seeds in each ear. Subsequently, generalized linear models were used to choose the one best fit to explain the PHR in function of the tested factors. Crop seasons, genotypes, and the crop seasons x genotypes interaction affected significantly the PHR, showing the dependence of these factors on the expression of the phenotypic marker based on anthocyanin pigmentation and determined by gene R1-nj. The number of clusters formed by the genotypes was different in each crop season. Ten genotypes showed higher rates in summer than in winter. Endosperm texture, genetic basis, and genetic background did not affect the PHR.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the acceptability of gluten-free churros made either with tannin or tannin-free sorghum flour, as well as the retention of their phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity retention after cooking and frying. The churros were developed by replacing wheat flour with sorghum flour from the sorghum cultivars BRS 305 with tannin (T-churro) or BRS 501 tannin free (TF-churro). The content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were evaluated before and after the thermal processing. Both products had a high acceptability (84.5‒95.5%) for all evaluated sensory attributes, and no difference was observed for color, aroma, and flavor. However, the T-churro showed a higher acceptance for texture, overall acceptability, and purchase intention. The churros had a similar proximate composition for fiber content. The phenol content was about three times and antioxidant activity about 20 times higher for T-churro than for TF-churro. Although subjected to two types of processing (cooking and frying), the fried and ready-to-eat T-churro retained more than 50% of anthocyanins, phenols, and antioxidant activity. The TF-churro product showed a retention of these compounds above 70, 40, and 65%, respectively. The tannin content of 'BRS 305' sorghum increases its functional potential and does not negatively affect the acceptability of the churros. Sorghum either with or without tannins has the potential to be used for the production of gluten-free churros.
Concreto leve estrutural: influência da argila expandida na microestrutura da zona de transição pasta/agregado
Authors: Rossignolo João Adriano
Published: January 2021

Resumo Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre o efeito do agregado leve brasileiro (argila expandida) na zona de transição pasta/agregado em concretos leves estruturais. Utilizou-se um microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) associado a um sistema de análise quantitativa (espectrografia de raios X por dispersão de energias - EDS) para a avaliação da espessura da zona de transição. No concreto de referência, com brita basáltica, a zona de transição apresentou espessura de 55 (m, enquanto nos concretos com argila expandida observou-se a redução desse valor para 30 (m. Verificou-se, ainda, que a zona de transição dos concretos com argila expandida apresentou menores teores de poros e de hidróxido de cálcio do que o observado nos concretos com brita basáltica.

This paper reports on the effect of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) on the fresh-state properties of alkali activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS). Surface functionalized (oxidized) CNFs were added to alkali activated GGBS water suspensions (hydraulic pastes). The rheological behaviour of the pastes was compared with OPC and interpreted based on the CNF-mineral surface interaction, and on the CNF-water interaction and swelling. The water dispersion of CNFs with different surface functionalization degrees resulted in gels of different viscosity and yield stress, due to their different hydrophilicity and water adsorption properties. On increasing the CNFs surface oxidation degree, the viscosity of the CNF water dispersion decreases and the CNF water adsorption increases, while the viscosity of fresh pastes increases because of the reduced amount of available mixing water. In the hardened state, the hydraulic pastes show differences in mechanical strength related to the type and the amount of CNF influencing the porosity of the matrix as evidenced by the microstructural investigation performed by X-ray microtomography. The presence of higher amounts of CNFs induces the formation of porous agglomerates that may act as stress concentrators due to the swelling ability of nanofibrils.
Cultural Bases for Understanding Literature
Authors: Mead Margaret
Published: January 2021

Among the variety of contributions which modern anthropological research might be able to offer to members of this Association, I plan to stress only one, that which anthropological studies of whole cultures can make to those whose task it is to cherish and cultivate the arts, and especially literature, in the contemporary world. Just because we, the anthropologists, specialize in primitive, usually quite small, societies and take as our focus communities of a few hundred people with an oral tradition which can be no more elaborate than the memories of those few, we are able to include within our study many aspects of human experience which the scholar dealing with a period or trend within a complex high civilization accepts on authority or takes for granted. Yet, to the extent that the scholar who works with the eighteenth century in England must so take for granted the economic arrangements of agriculture or the methods of child care in the nursery, he or she is cut off from watching the intimate interplay between the way a farm laborer is paid or a child rebuked and the images of sophisticated literature, within which these experiences of the poor or immature may be represented by a chain of transmuted images or an explicit counterpoint which cuts them off from the developed consciousness of the small literate elite who inherited and cultivated the literary tradition of the past. Short of time, and very often short of materials, historians have only recently thought it worth while to consider the “short and simple annals of the poor” or the life of children who were neither the subjects of later literary elaboration by a Samuel Butler or a Proust, nor had even the dubious claims of a Daisy Ashford.
XIII.—The Germanic Suffix -AR-JA
Authors: Goebel Julius
Published: January 2021

Few of the Germanic suffixes have recently been discussed so often as the suffix -ar-ja, the most widespread and extensively used suffix of the Germanic dialects. Grimm's theory that this suffix is identical with the suffix -ja plus an additional -r, which, in a modified form, was adopted by Kluge in the first edition of his Stammbildungslehre, has been given up and most scholars seem now to agree with Sütterlin-Möller's explanation, according to which -ar-ja was borrowed from the Latin ārius. This borrowing, as Orthoff suggests, must have been done at two different periods, because it would explain the twofold form -ari and -āri in O.H.G.
Practical Philology
Authors: Sheldon E. S.
Published: January 2021

The people of this country are commonly supposed to be in a high degree practical, and the word is often used in praise of Americans as possessing a clear vision of the hard facts of life and as governing their conduct accordingly, so as to get the best results possible. The typical American is supposed to be a practical man, not an idealist or a misty theorizer absorbed in meditations that lead to nothing. But the same word may also be used to imply a reproach, not the less real for being covert; it may suggest that ours is a civilization which looks upon material prosperity as the highest good and cares but little if at all for whatever is intangible. That our colleges and universities attract a large number of students of capacity and industry is good evidence that the young men of this country do not all understand success in life to be synonymous with the acquisition of wealth. But it cannot be said that we have in our universities all the students we want. There is still room for a great increase in their numbers before we need feel that there is any risk for us of an intellectual proletariat.
Fate and Guilt in Schiller's Die Braut von Messina
Authors: Carruth W. H.
Published: January 2021

The “dramatic guilt” or the “tragic fate” differs, it is well known, from fate and guilt in the common sense of the terms. Fate is the equivalent of blind destiny, or of the whimsical decree or the general envy or malice of the gods towards men. This Fate foredooms the victim to some crime which brings a punishment in its train, or to a wholly undeserved calamity, which the Greeks were fond of representing as foretold but unavoidable. The ill-will of the gods had perhaps been incurred by an ancestor of the victim, but was wreaked upon the remote descendant to the third and fourth generation. In this curse of the gods we may see a poetical conception of an hereditary evil. Or on the other hand, in heredity we may see a modern and very real equivalent of the Greek decree of the gods, the “moira.”
