Sein psychosomatique et sein alexithymique : une perspective psychosomatique bionienne
Authors: Magnenat Luc
Published: December 2017

L’auteur développe théoriquement et cliniquement la notion de « sein psychosomatique », élaborée par Bion (1962) pour décrire un sein en charge de la symbolisation primaire et de l’intégration psychosomatique des expériences physiologiques, émotionnelles et sensorielles brutes du nourrisson. À ce titre, le sein psychosomatique est un précurseur, un noyau de la mère douée de rêverie car la fonction de transformation de cette dernière porte non seulement sur la symbolisation primaire de la vie émotionnelle, mais aussi sur sa symbolisation secondaire. L’auteur postule qu’un échec originaire de la transformation des expériences émotionnelles et sensorielles brutes par la rêverie des objets primaires se traduit par l’incorporation d’un « sein alexithymique », une forme d’objet obstructif fermé à la communication par identification projective, intériorisé comme une source d’effondrements psychiques et physiques. Cette lacune précoce de la rêverie parentale est vécue par le nourrisson comme un désastre primitif qui constitue un point de fixation, une ligne de faille de son organisation psychosomatique vers laquelle il est susceptible de régresser ultérieurement en développant des maladies physiques. L’auteur illustre la dynamique et l’économie de la conflictualité du sein psychosomatique et du sein alexithymique par des fragments de l’analyse d’une femme qui a développé un cancer durant sa psychanalyse, et qui en a guéri.
Une nouvelle conception de la destruction : à propos de l’article de Winnicott « L’utilisation de l’objet et le mode de relation à l’objet au travers des identifications »
Authors: Ogden Thomas
Published: December 2017

Le texte de Winnicott « L’utilisation de l’objet et le mode de relation à l’objet au travers des identifications » est une contribution majeure que je trouve très difficile de commenter dans la mesure où tout ce qui en constitue le noyau est seulement suggéré. Il est nécessaire que le lecteur non seulement lise l’article, mais également l’écrive. Ce que m’inspire ma lecture/écriture de l’article, c’est que la mère devient réelle pour le nourrisson au cours d’un processus où il la détruit réellement en tant qu’objet externe (détruisant le sentiment qu’elle a d’être une mère suffisamment bonne), tout en percevant cette destruction. La mère devient également un objet externe réel pour le nourrisson au cours d’un processus où il fait l’expérience du travail psychologique qu’implique la nécessité de survivre à la destruction, une forme de travail qui n’existe pas dans le monde des objets fantasmés. Il arrive parfois que l’analyste ou la mère ne soit pas capable de survivre à la destruction. Il est essentiel que l’analyste puisse reconnaître son incapacité à survivre et, le cas échéant, qu’il décide de mettre fin à l’analyse en raison des effets dévastateurs qu’une expérience prolongée de ce type exerce sur le patient et l’analyste. L’auteur présente quelques exemples de cas cliniques où l’analyste survit à la destruction ou, au contraire, est incapable de survivre à la destruction.
Clés de l’adaptation française d’un programme américain de soutien à la parentalité
Authors: Roehrig Corinne , Pradier Christian
Published: December 2017

Objectif : Strengthening Family Program (SFP) est un programme américain de soutien à la parentalité basé sur des données probantes, opérationnel dans 35 pays au monde. L’objectif de ce travail était d’évaluer les leviers potentiels de sa transférabilité au contexte français. Méthodes : SFP a été expérimenté dans trois communes des Alpes Maritimes, pour tester son acceptabilité, sa faisabilité, et identifier un protocole d’implantation qui permette de le mettre en place avec régularité. Chaque étape a mis en évidence des adaptations indispensables. Une étude d’efficacité immédiate a conforté l’expérimentation. Résultats : Quatre groupes de familles ont bénéficié du programme, avec des résultats positifs en termes d’assiduité et d’efficacité immédiate. L’adaptation culturelle et contextuelle de SFP a permis d’identifier les phases de partenariat local, d’information et de formation favorables à la duplication du programme sur un nouveau territoire. Conclusion : Cette expérience encourageante montre qu’il est possible d’utiliser en France, avec succès, des programmes standardisés, à condition de veiller à leur adaptation. La version française de SFP sera validée au travers d’une étude de plus grande ampleur.

Authors: Pujade Céline , Kheng Roddy , Braconni Marianne , Bdeoui Fadi , Monnier Aude , Hoang Lucy , Dursun Elisabeth , Pirnay Philippe
Published: December 2017

Contexte : Les patients handicapés représentent une population à besoins spécifiques dont la prise en charge en odontologie soulève une problématique de santé publique. Cet article décrit cette activité de soins au sein d’un service hospitalier d’odontologie pour mettre en évidence les difficultés rencontrées et proposer des axes d’amélioration dans cette prise en charge. Méthodes : Une étude rétrospective descriptive a été menée sur les patients suivis entre 2010 et 2016 dans le cadre du partenariat entre le service d’odontologie de l’hôpital Albert Chenevier et le réseau RHAPSOD’IF. Les données collectées à l’aide de « fiches de suivi » renseignent l’acte réalisé et le type de médication éventuellement utilisée. Une analyse de ces fiches anonymisées a été effectuée à l’aide du logiciel Excel. Résultats : Pour 434 patients handicapés soignés, les séances ont consisté en des consultations (42 à 57 %), les restaurations et les détartrages ont représenté chacun 1/6 e des actes effectués (14 à 19 % et 14 à 18 %), et la chirurgie et la radiographie en ont représenté 1/8 e (4 à 12 % et 6 à 11 %). La mise en place d’une thérapeutique prothétique est quasi nulle (0 à 1 %). La plupart des séances de soins s’est effectuée sans prémédication (61 à 76 %). Conclusion : Ces soins dentaires nécessitent la formation des familles, des accompagnants, une bonne approche relationnelle et du temps pour instaurer une relation de confiance. L’adhésion à un réseau prend son importance pour aider, accompagner, conseiller le praticien et lui apporter un soutien financier.
Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Achromatopsia: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Pascual-Camps Isabel , Barranco-Gonzalez Honorio , Aviñó-Martínez Juan , Silva Eduardo , Harto-Castaño Miguel
Published: December 2017

Achromatopsia is a complex inherited retinal disease that affects the cone cell function. It is usually an autosomal-recessive disease and is characterized by pendular nystagmus, poor visual acuity, lack of color vision, and marked photophobia. CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C, PDE6H, and ATF6 gene mutations have been identified as associated with this disease. New diagnostic and therapeutic tools are being studied. Optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence are important imaging techniques that provide significant information about the progression of the disease. The genetic approach for these patients is a current important issue and gene therapy is an ongoing therapeutic option already being studied in clinical trials. The purpose of this review was to survey the current knowledge on diagnosis and treatment options in achromatopsia.

Metrología y modulación en las mezquitas: propuesta de análisis a través de cuatro casos cordobeses
Authors: González Gutiérrez Carmen
Published: December 2017

En este artículo proponemos un acercamiento a la estructura y diseño arquitectónico de las mezquitas cordobesas mediante el análisis metrológico y de modulación de algunos conjuntos excavados en la capital andalusí. A través del estudio minucioso de las dimensiones de los patios y salas de oración, tratamos de determinar qué unidades métricas se aplicaron en el diseño y posterior ejecución de estos edificios, cómo se planteó su construcción o si existieron proporciones generales que rigiesen el diseño de cada una de sus partes. La aplicación de esta metodología a los conjuntos documentados ha permitido reconocer una tipología para las mezquitas califales cordobesas. Esta confirma la cronología de determinados conjuntos y sugiere detalles relativos a su organización interna, se relaciona con los ritmos constructivos detectados en la mezquita mayor, y permite hipótesis de reconstrucción de algunos conjuntos no documentados en su totalidad.
Monitoring Parkinson Disease from speech articulation kinematics
Authors: Gómez Pedro , Mekyska Jiri , Gómez Andrés , Palacios Daniel , Rodellar Victoria , Álvarez Agustín
Published: December 2017

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a neuromotor illness affecting general movements of different muscles, those implied in speech production being among them. The relevance of speech in monitoring illness progression has been documented in these last two decades. Most of the studies have concentrated in dysarthria and dysphonia induced by the syndrome. The present work is devoted to explore how PD affects the dynamic behavior of the speech neuromotor biomechanics (neuromechanics) involved in deficient articulation (dysarthria), in contrast to classical measurements based on static features as extreme and central vowel triangle positions. A statistical distribution of the kinematic velocity of the lower jaw and tongue is introduced, which presents interesting properties regarding pattern recognition and classification. This function may be used to establish distances between different articulation profiles in terms of information theory. Results show that these distances are correlated with a set of tests currently used by neurologists in PD progress evaluation, and could be used in elaborating new speech testing protocols.
Cameras Show Sciurids Visiting White-Headed Woodpecker Nests Without Depredating Contents
Authors: Lorenz Teresa J. , Fischer Philip C.
Published: December 2017

In western North America, rodents in the family Sciuridae are considered woodpecker nest predators and management to reduce sciurid habitat has been suggested. However, there have been few actual observations of woodpecker nest predation. In 2014, we used passive infrared cameras in an attempt to identify nest predators for white-headed woodpeckers Picoides albolarvatus in Washington. We monitored 17 nests for 4,296 observer-hours and were surprised to document 33 cases in which two putative nest predators—chipmunks Tamias spp. and Douglas squirrels Tamiasciurus douglasii—visited but did not depredate nests. Most nests visited by these rodents were successful (71.4%) and no eggs or nestlings were lost to predation (no partial depredations). Future studies using continuous video surveillance at nests would help identify nest predators of white-headed woodpecker and quantify proportions of nests depredated by different species.
Life and Death: How Should We Respond to Oiled Wildlife?
Authors: Henkel Laird A. , Ziccardi Michael H.
Published: December 2017

There is ongoing public debate about the best course of action to take when wildlife are affected by oil spills. Critics of wildlife rehabilitation suggest that the cleaning and release of oiled animals is a waste of resources focused on individual animals (not populations); thus, the most responsible course of action is to immediately euthanize affected animals. These critics claim that survival of rehabilitated animals is poor, and that the funds spent on rehabilitation would benefit wildlife more if spent on other conservation efforts. In this opinion piece, with a focus on birds, we review reasons for engaging in a coordinated response to oiled wildlife that includes cleaning and rehabilitation. The reasons for responding to oiled wildlife in any capacity include ethical, human safety, and legal aspects. Our rationale for proposing that responders attempt to rehabilitate wildlife, rather than planning on immediate euthanasia, includes financial, scientific, and additional ethical reasons. Financially, costs for wildlife rehabilitation are typically a very small portion of overall oil-spill response costs, and are typically independent of postspill enforcement and funds used to restore injured natural resources. Scientifically, we review recent studies that have shown that animals cleaned and rehabilitated after oil spills can often survive as well as nonoiled control animals. Ethically, some people would consider individual animals to have intrinsic value and that we, as consumers of petroleum products, have an obligation to reduce suffering and mitigate injuries associated with such accidents. For these reasons, we suggest that, although humane euthanasia should always be considered as an option for animals unlikely to return to normal function after rehabilitation, response to oil spills should include a coordinated effort to attempt wildlife rehabilitation.

Published: December 2017

Objetivou-se conhecer a experiência da família no cuidado da criança com paralisia cerebral. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa no segundo semestre de 2014 com nove familiares de crianças internadas em uma Unidade de Pediatria. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e os dados submetidos à análise de conteúdo, o que resultou na elaboração das categorias: Desafios na experiência do aprender a cuidar e A experiência de interpretar os sinais emitidos pela criança. Os resultados expressam os significados de mães protagonistas na experiência de cuidar do filho, permeada de desafios no aprender a cuidar, no interpretar as necessidades físicas e emocionais, nas dificuldades de receber apoio do pai ou familiares para o cuidado e na comunicação verbal pela ausência da fala da criança. Verificou-se a importância de os profissionais de saúde transmitirem às famílias informações e esclarecimentos pertinentes acerca da doença e do tratamento, capacitando-as a dar continuidade aos cuidados demandados pelas crianças com segurança e autonomia.

Published: December 2017

Study Design

Clinical trial study.

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on sensory and motor function in patients with acute spinal cord injury.

Overview of Literature

The prevalence and incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury are increasing. Statins are well established for use in hypercholesterolemia as well as during anti-inflammatory events.

Methods

This clinical trial study included 60 patients with acute spinal cord injury. These were randomly divided into two groups: the case group which received atorvastatin and also underwent surgical therapy and the control group which only underwent surgical therapy.

Results

The severity of spinal cord lesions was evaluated based on the Frankel grade at three periods; this showed no significant difference between the two groups. Comparisons of the levels of pain between the groups based on a Visual Analog Scale system showed no significant difference at the three periods.

Conclusions

We observed no improvement at the 3- and 6-month follow-up in patients who were administered atorvastatin. However, a comparison of the two groups based on pain severity demonstrated a significant difference, suggesting that atorvastatin had a positive effect on patients with spinal cord injury.
Hybrid Collapse Confirms the Specific Status of Triatoma bahiensis Sherlock and Serafim, 1967 (Hemiptera, Triatominae), an Endemic Species in Brazil
Authors: Chaboli Alevi Kaio Cesar , Pinotti Heloisa , Freitas de Araújo Renato , Vilela de Azeredo Oliveira Maria Tercília , Aristeu da Rosa João , Mendonça Vagner José
Published: December 2017

Six to seven million people worldwide are estimated to be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease transmitted mainly by triatomines. Triatoma bahiensis was recently collected in the Brazilian state of Bahia and revalidated using different approaches. The main criterion used to define a “good” biological species is reproductive isolation, so we evaluated the cytogenetics of first-generation (F1) hybrids resulting from the experimental cross between T. bahiensis females and Triatoma lenti males to possibly characterize the postzygotic isolation associated with the hybrid breakdown. All cells analyzed presented a karyotype of 2n = 22 and a pair of univalent autosomes. This chromosome behavior represents hybrid collapse and underscores the specific status of T. bahiensis. Thus, we have characterized the presence of the hybrid collapse phenomenon in an experimental cross, and we confirm the specific status of T. bahiensis, thus contributing to the Triatominae taxonomy.
The Epidemiology of Imported Acute Infectious Diseases in Zhejiang Province, China, 2011–2016: Analysis of Surveillance Data
Authors: Ding Zheyuan , Wu Chen , Wu Haocheng , Lu Qinbao , Lin Junfen
Published: December 2017

To explore epidemiological characteristics of imported acute infectious diseases between 2011 and 2016 in Zhejiang province, China. Data of imported infectious diseases from 2011 to 2016 was collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in Zhejiang province, and subsequently analyzed for epidemiological characteristics. A survey was conducted to investigate clinicians’ abilities to diagnose these diseases in Zhejiang province. From 2011 to 2016, 1,241 cases of imported acute infectious disease were reported in Zhejiang province, including 1,078 malaria cases, 156 dengue cases, three chikungunya fever cases and four Zika cases. Between 2011 and 2016, incidences of these diseases increased (P < 0.001). For malaria, male adults for labor export were the most affected group. Seasonal fluctuation was not obvious. Plasmodium falciparum was the main malaria type (822 cases) and most cases were acquired from African Region (791/822, 96.1%). Plasmodium vivax cases (194 cases) were mainly from African Region (78/194, 40.2%) and South-East Asia Region (51/194, 26.3%). Meanwhile, for dengue, adults and tourists were the most affected groups. The incidence of dengue was particularly high in August and October. The percent of correct clinician responses in the survey of diagnosis knowledge was 54.6% (standard deviation = 21.0%); this percentage was particularly low in general practitioners and clinicians from township hospitals. The capabilities of clinicians to diagnose these diseases were low and should be improved. Efforts should be made in improving and disseminating proper preventive measures of high-risk populations, surveillance of imported cases, and prevention and control of local epidemics.
Learning for Transformation: Empowering the Nigerian Child through Drama
Authors: Idogho Joseph Agofure
Published: December 2017

The search for a libertarian education; which emphasizes learners' empowerment and transformation becomes ever imperative in this 21st Century Nigeria society as a result of the shortcoming in learning: “deficient learners”, in our education system. This deficiency in learning is undoubtedly endeared by the “Banking concept of education” practiced within the system as captured by Paulo Freire; has become the concern of all and sundry in our society. This paper therefore, explores the viability of drama as a potent device for learners' empowerment and transformation: the how and why drama should be a learning tool. To achieve this, the paper investigates the validity and historical appeal of drama in education across the ages and the benefits of drama in education. It further observes a creative drama field work as its secondary data to reach its logical conclusion. The paper thus recommends that drama is a viable teaching technique and such should be employed as an alternative to the traditional teaching method; to facilitate the libertarian education needed in Nigeria educational system.Keywords: Learning, Transformation, Libertarian education, Nigerian child, Drama
Agency and Vulnerability: Reconfiguring the Female Characters in Chimamanda Adichie's Love Stories
Authors: Ben-Iheanacho Elizabeth O.
Published: December 2017

Agency and vulnerability are integral factors in the feminist reconceptualization of the self. Consequently, they are significant concepts in gender identity. This article recognizes the pressures on an individual's agency and vulnerability to societal containment as constant interplay that accounts for creative dimensions and responses intensified within a love relationship. It locates agency and vulnerability as mutually inclusive within the philosophical nexus of self-actualization and self-empowerment that preaches a focus on the self; being a tranformative, defining lifestyle that helps an individual achieveself-discovery, purpose and gender progression. Whereas the feminist philosophy is the theoretical framework, the approach to this story is critical interpretative discourse to Adichie'sAmericanahand “Transition to Glory,” her short story in an anthology entitled African Love Stories. This paper examines the implications of agency and vulnerability in these love stories as narratives in class, position and power within the battlefield of affairs of the heart. It submits that vulnerability and agency should not be seen merely from the prism of societal and cultural power structure that maintain patriarchal status quo but as subtle but significant factors aiding and abetting the winning party in the female contest for the heart strings of a man.Keywords: Agency, Vulnerability, Love Story, Gender Identity, Chimamanda Adichie.
Politics of Language in Kunle Afolayan's The Figurine (Araromire)
Authors: Epochi-Olise Ruth E.
Published: December 2017

Language is the most essential feature of any work of art, which is necessary for the communication of meaning. Language could come in different forms: oral, written, sign and material. Whatever form it takes, it helps in the continual promotion and reconstruction of sociocultural identity. Using Afolayan's The Figurine (Araromire) as a point of reference, this article examines the place and implications of multilingualism, and the socio-cultural impact on Nigerians, and Africans at large. It also examines how the various forms of language can aid the shaping of the cultural identity of the people towards the preservation of valued culture for the present and future generations. Lastly, the article suggests that Nigerian films and filmmakers/producers should be seen and employed as cultural ambassadors of Nigeria to the outside world.Keywords: Language, Multilingualism, The Figurine, Cultural ambassadors, Filmmakers
Re-inventing Multimedia Drama to Unite Africans in the Diaspora: The Example of Ola Rotimi's The Gods are not to Blame in London
Authors: Balogun Sola
Published: December 2017

Over the ages, many Africans have had reasons to travel out of their fatherland in search of greener pastures in Europe, America and other parts of the globe. They have in the process built careers and families far away from their roots aside imbibing cultural, linguistic and social attributes that are originally alien to them. A major effect of this migration/relocation is that Africans in Diaspora gradually lose touch with their own cultural ethos and values while their own offspring are far more alienated and can neither be referred to as Europeans or true Africans. But drama, particularly total theatre which originates from Africa has all it takes to relive African cultural heritage in the Diaspora. A well-packaged African drama that is presented in the multimedia format has the potentials of not only uniting Africans and their relations living abroad, but also relaying relevant social, cultural, aesthetic, historical and political messages to them. This paper therefore examines the recent staging of Ola Rotimi's classic play; The Gods Are Not to Blame, in London as a multimedia production which rallied Nigerians, nay Africans together in a single cultural event. The theatre production which was produced by Lagos based Ayo Jaiyesimi and directed by London-based Lookman Sanusi provided a unique platform for Nigerians living in the United Kingdom and other neighbouring European countries to meet their kinsmen and women, aside savouring the Yoruba culture and tradition which the play effectively dramatised. Beyond this, the multimedia production bridged the gap between Africa and Europe by showcasing Ola Rotimi's dexterity in adapting the European story of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex into another classic play of African setting. The latter produced a similar tragic hero in King Odewale, the Yoruba (African) king who, like Oedipus, ends up killing his father and marrying his own mother. Keywords: Multimedia drama, Ola Rotimi, The Gods are not to Blame, Lagos, London
Reflecting Marxist Epistemology and the Irreligiousness of Resource Control in Gbilekaa's Bishop Bassey
Authors: Ejue Olympus G.
Published: December 2017

It is sadly recognized in Nigerian cultural history that the value on material comfort supersedes every other value irrespective of whether it has any negative connotations or not. This study, therefore, interrogates a situation whereby clergy men and women in Nigeria use religion not only as a seductive means to manipulate the masses into doing their biddings, but also as a means of survival in a harsh economy. The resultant hardship and unemployment situation in the country appear to be prompting an inevitable corollary of irreligious undertakings by dishonest clergy. The play, Bishop Bassey, typifies the problem of personal interest, subterranean underpinnings in manipulating of religion as an essential corner stone for selfaggrandizement. Simply put; it epitomizes religious deceitfulness and hypocrisies that have characterized the Nigerian religious landscape. Thus, in a metaphoric swipe of embracing Western civilization, culture and religion, the dimension to which the Nigeria populace now propagates religious doctrine has got a frightening level of deceit, slander and even character assassination in order to outwit one another in what now looks like “ in God's Name PLC” venture. The warped application of irreligious doctrines as a means to an end by Bassey and Dede in Bishop Bassey tends to corroborate Karl Marx's time-tested maxim that “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” A viewpoint in which religion is seen as a free-marketsystem based on private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods. The article holds the position that, although the dramatist, Saint Gbilekaa, berates the hardship and unemployment situation in the country, he cautions on the consequences of using religion as a manipulating tool for individual financial augmentation and survival. Religion, in this instance, becomes an instrument of oppression and economic gains in the hands of capitalist clergy. Consequently, Bassey and Dede are in turn portrayed as victims of a conscious breach in the social contract between the masses and their leaders.Keywords: Marxist, Irreligious, Manipulating, Aesthetics, Theatre, Saint Gbilekaa
Ensemble Organization of the Band of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti
Authors: Oikelome Albert
Published: December 2017

The achievements of Fela Anikulapo Kuti in the field of popular music assumed an epic proportion both at national and international level. His development and popularization of Afrobeat genre is one of his greatest achievement in the field of popular music in Nigeria. However, beyond the musical skills of this great musician is his ability to galvanize both human and material resources into one unique brand. For indeed, beyond the artistic prowess of Fela lies the ability to manage and coordinate a large band both within and outside the stage. This paper therefore examines the administrative set up of the Afrobeat band of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The paper will also consider the rehearsal procedures and techniques employed by Fela as witnessed by the band members. Through an in-depth interview with key members of his band that are still alive, the paper considers the administrative styles adopted by Fela Anikulapo Kuti and how present day musicians can also adapt such styles in managing the big band in the 21st century.Keywords: Big band, Ensemble, Globalization, Creative process.
El juego-concurso de DeVries: una propuesta para la formación en competencias de trabajo en equipo en la evaluación.
Authors: Andreu Barrachina Llorenç , Sanz Torrent Mònica
Published: December 2017

El Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior (EEES) sentó las bases para la asunción de un modelo de formación basado en competencias. En este sentido, son diversas las propuestas que plantean trabajar de la competencia de trabajo en grupo en actividades de desarrollo de los contenidos de una o diferentes asignaturas. Sin embargo, no son tan frecuentes las propuestas de trabajo de esta competencia en tareas de evaluación. En este trabajo se recoge una aplicación del juego-concurso de DeVries (DeVries y Edwards, 1973) para la llevar a cabo la evaluación de una asignatura. El juego-concurso de DeVries es una alternativa a las tradicionales pruebas de evaluación o exámenes basado no en la evaluación individual sino en la preparación y colaboración grupal para la consecución de unos objetivos comunes. La aplicación de esta técnica, sus repercusiones, ventajas e inconvenientes son discutidos en el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES).
Los caminos de Bolonia
Authors: Vázquez García Juan A.
Published: December 2017

Una vez que ha arrancado la aplicación efectiva de las reformas que conlleva la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior en el sistema universitario español, conviene reflexionar acerca del modo en que efectivamente se está desarrollando y la medida en qué responde al espíritu y los objetivos del “espíritu de Bolonia”. A esa reflexión pretende contribuir este artículo que desgrana algunas ideas acerca de los logros y problemas que la aplicación esa reforma está suscitando en ámbitos como los de la adaptación entre oferta y demanda de titulaciones, la reforma de las enseñanzas y la adecuación a las necesidades de la sociedad, la renovación de los métodos docentes, los niveles y  las garantías de calidad de las enseñanzas universitarias, la movilidad y la internacionalización y el posicionamiento de las universidades.

 
Metodología docente
Authors: Zabalza Beraza Miguel Angel
Published: December 2017

Como en el viejo dicho indio de que “el mundo es ancho y ajeno”, eso está sucediendo para una parte del profesorado: Bolonia se ha convertido en una fuente no identificada de demandas y cambios de los que no se sienten ni dueños ni cómplices. Según quien se exprese Bolonia puede formar parte del problema o puede formar parte de la solución. En este contexto de controversias sobre lo general del nuevo EEES, hay que situar el ámbito más concreto de la innovación en las metodologías docentes. En este texto se aborda Bolonia como la oportunidad para un profundo cambio en el proceso de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes: cómo pasar del “instruction paradigm” al “learning facilitation paradigm”.  Una propuesta de cambio que solamente llega a hacerse efectiva si es capaz de transitar de las grandes declaraciones políticas internacionales a las prácticas docentes concretas de las Facultades y escuelas Técnicas. Tránsito complicado y que depende de muchas variables intermedias: la cultura institucional y las concepciones de los docentes. 4 aspectos de las metodologías se analizan en el texto desde la perspectiva de Bolonia: (a) la organización de los espacios y los tiempos; (b) el modo de suministro de la información; (c) la orientación y gestión de las actividades de aprendizaje y (d) las relaciones interpersonales. Finalmente se concluye señalando la necesidad de metodologías mixtas en las que se complementen aspectos básicos de los métodos docentes clásicos: la lección magistral, el trabajo en equipo y el trabajo independiente de los estudiantes.

Published: December 2017

El actual contexto social, cultural y tecnológico, junto con el diseño de los nuevos títulos de grado en Educación Primaria e Infantil hace necesaria una reflexión en torno a cómo ha de ser la formación de los nuevos maestros y cuáles son las competencias profesionales que les permitirán adaptarse satisfactoriamente a las presentes demandas. En la Sociedad de la Información y la Comunicación, es imprescindible cambiar los roles y escenarios de enseñanza aprendizaje, para garantizar la formación de individuos competentes, es decir, capaces de aplicar conocimiento de forma satisfactoria. Los maestros juegan un papel esencial en la educación de las futuras generaciones bajo este enfoque, y son, por tanto, la pieza clave para propiciar la adaptación a los nuevos tiempos. Ante estas necesidades, la formación del profesorado supone un hecho fundamental y el periodo de prácticum constituye una situación privilegiada para el desarrollo de las competencias asociadas al nuevo perfil profesional del maestro. Este trabajo involucra a distintos agentes (tutores de prácticum en centros educativos, investigadores y tutores en la universidad, directivos, alumnos egresados, etc., en el estudio de dichas competencias profesionales, con el objeto de diseñar las líneas generales de un plan formativo, que dé respuesta a las conclusiones extraídas de la investigación.

El objetivo general del estudio es determinar la coherencia entre las demandas actuales que se realizan a los docentes en ejercicio y la oferta real de formación que se establece desde los Centros Universitarios. En el presente trabajo se muestran los resultados del análisis de contenidos de las competencias de los Grados de Maestro en Educación Infantil y Maestro en Educación Primaria como primer paso antes de su posterior estudio por los diferentes agentes mencionados.

Del “Aprendizaje Basado En Problemas” (ABP) al “Aprendizaje Basado En La Acción” (ABA). Claves para su complementariedad e implementación
Authors: Esteban Guitart Moisés
Published: December 2017

Estudios previos han sugerido que a pesar de las innumerables ventajas que ofrece la metodología activa de enseñanza-aprendizaje ABP (“Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas”), también presenta, como toda estrategia educativa, ciertas limitaciones. En este sentido, se ha sugerido que en muchas ocasiones las “situaciones” (“problemas”) que se utilizan están descontextualizadas, siendo artificiales y poco vinculadas con la acción real en contextos reales. Con el objetivo de superar estas limitaciones, se propone el “Aprendizaje Basado en la Acción” (ABA) como estrategia complementaria. El artículo, siguiendo el marco teórico de la psicología cultural de orientación vygotskiana, articula la propuesta e ilustra su aplicación.

Pierre Menard: Leitor-Criador
Authors: Rivera Jorgelina
Published: December 2017

O escritor Jorge Luis Borges reproduz no seu artifício “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote” (1939, originalmente) o conceito de palimpsesto e instaura por meio deste uma poética de leitura (Monegal), executada pelo seu próprio autor. Menard torna-se uma personagem arquetípica que emula ironicamente a escritura dos precursores recuperando os interstícios do passado, quer dizer, a volta à tradição, trabalho executado tanto por Borges como pelo reconhecido poeta Haroldo de Campos na sua poética sincrônica. Há uma desintegração do tempo e do espaço na escritura deste artifício e Menard torna-se um exemplo ilustrativo que esboça a literatura como um conjunto de fragmentos inter-relacionados. A noção de autor é abolida, segundo cada época o texto vai ser lido de uma forma diferente: as condições de recepção de um texto não dependem do autor, e sim da experiência do leitor. Borges anuncia através deste texto o caráter infinito da literatura.
Belazarte e Malazarte: caras de um intelectual ficcional
Authors: Zacchi André Piazera
Published: December 2017

Entre 1923 e 1924 Mário de Andrade publica, na Revista América Brasileira, de periodicidade mensal, as Crônicas de Malazarte. Nelas, constrói três personagens com gostos, opiniões e afetos distintos: Malazarte, Belazarte e Mário. As vozes ficcionais no espaço da revista, falando da mais iminente contingência brasileira, são caras, estratégias de Mário para assumir posturas políticas, sem que ocupe o lugar convencionalmente atribuído ao intelectual (aquele que sabe a verdade e a enuncia). Caras é também o nome de um ensaio sobre Chaplin na revista Espírito Novo, no qual Mário de Andrade separa e reúne diretor, criador, ator e personagem, Charles Chaplin e Carlitos. A cara de Carlitos, ostensivamente ficcional, é uma força capaz de imobilizar o que é só movimento, o cinema. Mário de Andrade pensa dentro da ficção, distribui-se nas caras das personagens às quais dá voz, esquiva-se dos lugares de poder, logrando interromper sua tradição.
Um percurso com a montagem na noite de "Onde estivestes de noite", de Clarice Lispector
Authors: Justen Djulia
Published: December 2017

Para ler um percurso com a montagem na noite do conto "Onde estivestes de noite", de Clarice Lispector, persigo alguns punctuns que se abrem no texto clariceano associados às leituras de Walter Benjamin sobre a imagem, a montagem e a técnica, e de Giorgio Agamben sobre o contemporâneo. É a partir desta exigência de leitura que os punctuns endereçam, tão própria da noite singular deste conto, que é possível escutar o chamado do escuro da noite de "Onde estivestes de noite" assim como faz o contemporâneo ao ouvir o chamado do escuro do nosso tempo para uma escrita da história com a montagem.
O apogeu da decadência: a dor e o mal em "Dentro da noite", de João do Rio
Authors: Junior Valdemar Valente
Published: December 2017

Este texto tem por objetivo a análise de elementos referentes à detecção do mal como tema a ser observado a partir da leitura de Dentro da noite, coletânea de contos de João do Rio que expressa com nitidez aspectos da decadência do final do século XIX que se estendem às duas primeiras décadas do século XX no Rio de Janeiro. Diante da redefinição que se impõe, como a reforma da cidade, surgem novas formas de convivência, a partir das quais se faz presente a figura do dândi como sinônimo de euforia e decadência. A isso alia-se um sentido de perversão e sadismo inerente a uma sociedade que se apresenta no auge de uma crise de valores, mas onde, do mesmo modo, são detectados expressivos sinais de transformação.
O uso de jogos e simulação computacional como instrumento de aprendizagem: campeonato de aviões de papel e o ensino de Hidrodinâmica
Authors: Souza Ericarla De Jesus , De Mello Luiz Adolfo
Published: December 2017

Este artigo apresenta a proposta e os resultados de se utilizar no ensino de Física jogos educacionais, atividades experimentais e simulações computacionais como técnica de ensino-aprendizagem. O conteúdo abordado é o de hidrodinâmica e sua aplicação nos conceitos físicos envolvidos no voo de aviões. A partir de um material didático próprio e de baixo custo construímos uma sequência didática que era guiada por várias atividades experimentais. Utilizamos como tema motivador um campeonato de avião de papel. O referencial teórico baseia-se na teoria dos Modelos Mentais de Johnson-Laird e na teoria da aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel, de modo que as avaliações dos conhecimentos prévios dos alunos eram realizadas através de questionário avaliativo do tipo teste. Reforçava-se o aprendizado do conteúdo através do uso de simulação computacional usando o software Modellus. A avaliação dos alunos foi feita com o uso de jogos didáticos: cruzadinhas, caça palavras e jogos dos sete erros. Realizou-se a avaliação do projeto através da aplicação de questões que avaliavam as concepções alternativas dos estudantes.
Um laboratório portátil de baixo custo: medição de g utilizando um pêndulo e a placa Raspberry Pi
Authors: Almeida Thiago Corrêa , Dias Eugênio De Carvalho , Julião Amanda Da Silva
Published: December 2017

Neste artigo apresentaremos a placa Raspberry Pi como solução de baixo custo para um laboratório portátil com múltiplas aplicações, podendo ser utilizado tanto no ensino básico quanto no ensino superior. Utilizaremos a placa com um LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) para medir o período de um pêndulo e obter a aceleração da gravidade. Apesar de simples, o experimento possui excelente acordo com valor encontrado na literatura, diferindo em apenas 0,07%.
Diálogos em tradução: Augusto de Campos e Machado de Assis
Authors: Flores Diego Do Nascimento Rodrigues
Published: December 2017

Este artigo demonstra que é possível encontrar procedimentos em comum entre Augusto de Campos e Machado de Assis quanto às escolhas que ambos fizeram ao traduzir cantos da Divina Comédia, de Dante Alighieri, demonstrando que a tradução-arte, na terminologia de Augusto de Campos, foi também praticada pelo escritor oitocentista. Busca-se também ampliar o entendimento que se tem do tradutor Machado de Assis, expondo procedimentos tradutórios adotados já ao fim de sua prática como tradutor, no texto que é, talvez, a sua obra-prima em tradução.
Business and Translation as Power Games: the automotive industry in Brazil
Authors: Brunelière Jean-François
Published: December 2017

A tradução realizada pelas empresas representa um paradoxo para os Estudos da Tradução. Embora a institucionalização acadêmica da disciplina e a origem de muitos centros de treinamento de tradutores estejam claramente relacionados ao movimento de globalização, a pesquisa fundamental sobre a comunicação na área econômica continua pouco desenvolvida. As múltiplas consequências (em termos econômicos, de mão de obra e de prestígio) das operações internacionais, amplamente dependentes do multilinguismo e da tradução,  constituem excelentes motivos para estudar o comportamento das empresas multinacionais, principalmente quando questões de língua e de poder se encontram. Assim, esse artigo retrata a atividade da PSA Peugeot Citroën no mercado brasileiro, procurando verificar como sua estrutura de poder transparece na sua comunicação externa. Por meio de métodos descritivos, analisamos os comunicados de imprensa publicados no site corporativo brasileiro em 2013, comparando-os com aqueles publicados nos sites argentino e internacional, no intuito de verificar em que medida questões de poder podem explicar modificações textuais. A análise demonstra a autonomia da filial brasileira e as relações que constrói com outros setores da empresa. Esse estudo de caso pode ser considerado uma ilustração da maneira como a tradução nas empresas leva rapidamente a temáticas essenciais para os Estudos da Tradução.
Plath, Sylvia. A redoma de vidro. Tradução de Chico Mattoso. São Paulo: Globo, 2014. 280 p
Authors: Costa Ribeiro Bárbara
Published: December 2017

Esta resenha traz uma análise acerca das escolhas tradutórias em duas versões brasileiras do único romance escrito pela poeta Sylvia Plath, A redoma de vidro (The Bell Jar), publicado originalmente em 1963. Em relação ao texto original, comparam-se aqui a tradução de 2014, feita por Chico Mattoso e lançada pela editora Globo, com a edição do ano de 1999, traduzida por Beatriz Horta para a editora Record. Esta resenha crítica apresenta uma avaliação comparativa com o intuito de mostrar como as épocas de publicação das respectivas versões brasileiras distam ou se aproximam do texto de partida de autoria de Plath, e de que forma as escolhas tradutórias de cada uma das edições podem ter sido influenciadas de acordo com tendências editoriais das épocas em que as publicações saíram no Brasil.
Analysis of the combined and single effects of LULC and climate change on the streamflow of the Upper Blue Nile River Basin (UBNRB): Using statistical trend tests, remote sensing landcover maps and the SWAT model
Authors: Mekonnen Dagnenet F. , Duan Zheng , Rientjes Tom , Disse Markus
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Understanding the response of land use/land cover (LULC) and climate change has become a priority issue for water management and water resource utilization of the Nile basin. This study assesses the long-term trends of rainfall and streamflow to analyse the response of LULC and climate changes on the hydrology of the UBNRB. The Mann–Kendal (MK) trend tests showed no statistically significant changes in daily, monthly and annual rainfall. Tests for mean annual and seasonal streamflow showed a statistically significant and increasing trend. Landsat satellite images for 1973, 1985, 1995 and 2010 were used for LULC change detection. The LULC change detection findings indicate the conversion of forest land to cultivated land during the period 1973–2010. Natural forest decreased from 17.4 % to 14.4 %, 12.2 % and 15.6 % while cultivated land increased from 62.9 % to 65.6 %, 67.5 % and 63.9 % from 1973 to 1985, 1995 and 2010 respectively. The hydrological SWAT model result showed that mean annual streamflow increased by 15.6 % between the 1970s and the 2000s due to the combined effect of LULC and climate change. The single effect of LULC change on streamflow analysis suggested that LULC change significantly affects surface run-off and base flow. This could be attributed to the 5.1 % reduction in forest coverage and 4.6 % increase in cultivated land. Effects of climate change revealed that increased rainfall intensity and number of extreme rainfall events from 1971 to 2010 have greatly affected the surface run-off and base flow of UBNRB.
