Published: March 2019

This research aims at (1) finding out whether Story Mapping Strategy can improve students’ reading comprehension in finding main idea and (2) describing classroom climate when Story Mapping Strategy is implemented in the class. The preliminary research showed that the students had problems in determining main idea of the text and main idea in each paragraph and in finding the supporting details of the main idea in each paragraph. This research was conducted at SMA Kemala Bhayangkari 1 Jakarta. The subject of the research was the students of class XI IPA 1 consisting of 30 students. The method of this research was Classroom Action Research and it was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle covered planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. In collecting the data, the researcher used observation field note, interview, questionnaire, diary, and test. Having collected the data, the researcher analyzed quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic (DS). It compared between the mean score of pre-test (before treatment) and post-test 1, 2, and 3 (after treatment). The qualitative data were analyzed by using Constant Comparative Method (CCM) which consisted of comparing incidents applicable to each category, integrating categories and their properties, delimiting the theory, and writing the theory. The result of the research showed that (1) Story mapping strategy can improve the students’ reading comprehension in finding main idea in terms of: (a) the students can determine the main idea of the text and main idea in each paragraph and (b) the students can find the supporting details of the main idea in each paragraph. The means of the students’ score improved from cycle to cycle. The mean in pre-test: 62.33, post-test 1: 68.33, post-test 2: 72.78, and post-test 3: 77.89 compared with the KKM for reading: 70. (2) Story mapping strategy can improve the classroom climate in terms of: the students’ cooperation looked maximal and alive, (b) the researcher as a teacher gave the students more motivation, help,  support, and encouragement maximally, (c) all of the students looked more enthusiastic and got custom in story mapping and main idea activity, (d) all of the students could participate well in classroom activity, and (e) most of the students thought that the researcher as a teacher often gave them praise or appreciation in classroom activity

The Identity of the Main Character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Dr. Heidegger's Experiment
Authors: Juanillo Kay Tepait
Published: March 2019

This study analyzes the language used in the construction of the personal identity of Dr. Heidegger through the labels attached to him, both given by self and by others, and his stancetaking. The researcher applies Discourse Analysis to analyze the main character’s utterances. In addition, the researcher also uses Indexicality Principle by Bucholtz and Hall (2005) as a mechanism to analyze identity. Qualitative content analysis is used to analyze thoroughly and interpret text data to draw inference towards the utterances on the short story. 

The result of the study show that Dr. Heidegger is labeled mostly with negative words by others, however, he responded to combat these labels by using re-appropriation or by revaluing the existing labels. Moreover, the stances taken by Dr. Heidegger are found to position himself among others. Together with the labels given by self and others, and his interlocutor(s) in his talk-in-interactions the findings reveal that the he is a strange old man, who is very curious and knowledgeable. Lastly, the conclusion can also be drawn that language and discourse are central to the construction of identities that are not always determined by a person himself, but also bound up with how others perceive him.
La migración europea y la crisis de los refugiados: un proceso complejo y multifacético
Authors: Campani Giovanna
Published: March 2019

El artículo explora cómo la migración y las recientes llegadas de miles de refugiados en Europa han provocado una gran crisis política dentro de los miembros de la Unión, en un momento de crisis económica e insurgencia populista. Las dificultades para producir una política europea común frente a la migración son el resultado de la misma construcción de la UE (Tratado de Schengen), que se basa en dos pilares: libre circulación dentro del espacio de la UE y control estricto de la frontera exterior (especialmente en el Sur Mediterráneo), limitando la migración non-EU (Fortress Europe). Este enfoque ha penalizado a los países del sur de Europa, ubicados geográficamente en la frontera, obligados por la legislación europea a recibir a la mayoría de los solicitantes de asilo. Los intentos de organizar una redistribución han fracasado. La única respuesta que la UE ha podido ofrecer a la crisis migratoria ha sido la "externalización de la migración", pagando a los países fronterizos no pertenecientes a la UE (Turquía, Marruecos, Libia) para detener los flujos. La crisis europea frente a la migración y la cuestión de los refugiados se ha visto impulsada por la "insurgencia populista", el fenómeno global de la revuelta contra los partidos políticos establecidos y las élites en general, combinado con el aumento de los sentimientos nacionalistas. Sin embargo, el aumento del populismo es el resultado del abandono de las clases desfavorecidas (los perdedores de la globalización) por los partidos tradicionales de izquierda. Solo una nueva propuesta política que ponga en su centro los derechos sociales que han sido robados a las clases más bajas de Europa durante la crisis, puede construir un enfoque de solidaridad con los migrantes y los refugiados, compartido por toda la sociedad.

Published: March 2019

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a evolução de pacientes vítimas de trauma abdominal grave, nos quais o protocolo de transfusão maciça foi acionado, e que foram submetidos à Tomografia Axial Computadorizada (TAC) no Pronto Socorro (PS), com o intuito de verificar o prognóstico do paciente e a eficiência diagnóstica da TAC nesse cenário. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo, longitudinal e observacional, feito em centro de referência para trauma. Foram selecionados 60 pacientes vítimas de trauma abdominal grave que ativaram o protocolo de transfusão maciça, divididos em dois grupos: os submetidos à TAC no PS e os que não foram. Verificou-se a acurácia da TAC, comparou-se o número de óbitos nos dois grupos, o tempo de internamento e os hemocomponentes transfundidos. Resultados: dos 60 pacientes, 66,67% receberam concentrados de hemácias ainda no PS; 33,3% foram submetidos à TAC na admissão, pela melhora hemodinâmica, e 66,7% não realizaram o exame na entrada. O percentual de óbitos foi de 35% em ambos os grupos. A diferença entre as médias do tempo de internamento entre os grupos não foi estatisticamente significativa, assim como a média da quantidade de concentrado de hemácias transfundido. No grupo que fez TAC, 45% não necessitaram de laparotomia exploratória. Conclusão: a TAC pôde ser realizada de maneira rápida em pacientes com instabilidade hemodinâmica na chegada ao PS, não influenciou significativamente a mortalidade e poupou alguns doentes de uma laparotomia exploratória desnecessária.

In addition, it is necessary to promote the strengthening of these services in the network with a view to subsidizing comprehensive and resolutive care.
Fly ash from modern coal-fired power technologies: chloride ingress and carbonation of concrete
Authors: McCarthy Michael J. , Yakub Hamza I. , Csetenyi Laszlo J.
Published: March 2019

Low-lime fly ashes produced from modern coal-fired power technologies (developed to enhance efficiency/lower emissions), including nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction, co-combustion, supercritical steam and oxy-fuel combustion, and their effects on chloride ingress and carbonation of concrete are investigated in this paper. Earlier work indicates that some of these technologies influence fly ash properties, but they mainly follow typical behaviour found for the material (consistence and compressive strength) in concrete. Both accelerated and normal-type exposure tests were carried out on a range of practical water/cement ratio concretes (also enabling interpolation for comparisons at equal 28 d strength). The test fly ash concretes were evaluated against (i) those containing three reference fly ashes covering a range of fineness and (ii) corresponding studies on fly ash concretes from the 1990s. The results show that there was an influence of fly ash fineness, reflected in reactivity/porosity (measured on mortar), and aspects of chemistry on chloride ingress, but there appeared to be minor material effects on carbonation. Comparison with the 1990s data indicated similar behaviour for the materials between studies for both properties. A relationship was also identified for the product of reactive alumina and sub-10 μm contents of the modern fly ashes and chloride resistance of concrete.

The reception of The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis in the English, American, German and Polish literary and critical circulation
Authors: KASIŃSKA Paulina
Published: March 2019

The author, analysing the critical-literary discussions in online daily press, shows that Martin Amis’s The Zone of Interest received extremely mixed reviews. The novel was well received by English and American critics, but the reviews in Germany were rather negative. In Poland, The Zone of Interest received mixed reviews and the novel was hardly noticeable in the reading reception. According to the author, the reason for the polarized opinions of critics is the increased sensitivity of nations directly affected by the policy of the Third Reich to an unconventional approach to Holocaust literature, which aims to rework the trauma through breaking the Holocaust taboo.

Authors: Jola Sánchez Andrés Fernando
Published: March 2019

Mediante un análisis econométrico de tipo panel se estudia la relación del comercio y la producción nacional de servicios frente a la productividad por trabajador y el crecimiento económico mundial. Se describen dos mecanismos en que los servicios, a través de la tec­nología que incorporan a la estructura productiva de las economías nacionales, incremen­tan la productividad media por trabajador y promueven el crecimiento económico. Utilizando información para 124 países y un periodo que va desde 1970 a 2007, se halla evidencia significativa del papel de estos dos mecanismos: importación y producción doméstica de servicios en la consolidación de las productividades medias de las naciones. Además, se encuentra que los servicios de alto contenido en capital humano, en contraposición a las ac­tividades económicas de los sectores primario y secundario, sustentan la mayor proporción del crecimiento de la productividad por trabajador en países de altos y medianos ingresos.
A Direct Application of Simultaneous Interpreting Training without Prior Consecutive Interpreting Work in a University Course
Authors: Yamada Hiroko
Published: March 2019

There is a general consensus that novice interpreters should begin their training with consecutive interpreting (CI) and only move on to simultaneous interpreting (SI) after they have mastered CI. However, working memory (WM) capacity plays a central role in developing professional SI skills, and may even be more important than extended practice. As there is great variability in the innate cognitive abilities of individual people, some novice interpreters may have the potential to perform SI reasonably well. The present study has tested this hypothesis by offering SI training to novice interpreters in a university course, without administering prior CI training during the semester. Midterm and final examinations were conducted to analyze the learners’ SI performances. The findings suggest that student interpreters can perform SI quite well, subject to certain conditions such as preparation time, input rates, and source-text intelligibility. This study explores the pedagogical implications of introducing student interpreters directly to SI training, as well as the curricular arrangements involved.
Sociolinguistic-cum-pedagogic Implications of Anglicisation: Evidence from Igbo Toponyms
Authors: Francis OBITUBE, Kelvin , Onyebuchi OKEKE, Chukwuma
Published: March 2019

Naturally, a group’s urge to protect all aspects of its language against negative sociolinguistic influences is a task carried out with all dedication because a group’s language identifies them, tells their story and showcases their cultural heritage. Presently, Igbo toponyms are seriously threatened by anglicisation. The paper’s main objectives are to highlight the various forms of anglicisation observed in Igbo toponyms, their negative influences on the Igbo language, and how to overcome this negative sociolinguistic phenomenon. The paper adopts a qualitative analysis approach; and observes that Igbo toponyms are actually anglicised, following the trend left by the British by adding ‘r’, ‘h’, ‘aw’, etc., with negative effects such as wrong spelling and meanings of Igbo toponyms, loss of history and cultural heritage of the Igbo etc. If this negative sociolinguistic phenomenon is left unchecked, potential loss of some letters of the Igbo alphabet and the Igbo language endangerment, are imminent.

Authors: Alotaibi Hmoud S.
Published: March 2019

As the case world-wide, the English language is central in Saudi schools and universities. Despite its prominence, students’ level of English language proficiency is generally believed to be unsatisfactory. This study explores this issue by investigating the quality of teaching with reference to the extent to which professors do employ the course assessment methods of learning domains specified in the course specifications template, provided by the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in Saudi Arabia, as one of the main factors for improving teaching processes. To this end, 12 courses in the English BA program at Shaqra university, a newly established university in Saudi Arabia, were investigated. The results have shown a significant problem in the quality of teaching English language. First, the learning domains, i.e. Knowledge, Cognitive Skills, Interpersonal Skills, were barely seen in the exam papers. Second, the methods of assessments specified in the course specifications were moderately used by instructors. The study closes with some suggestions for future investigations.

Authors: Kazemi Foroogh , Ranjbar Rozita
Published: March 2019

among the recent generative grammar approaches to explain morphology, the distributed morphology approach can be mentioned. In this approach there is no place as lexicon or morphology for formation of words and word formation is occurred after syntax processes. The present research is trying to introduce distributed morphology as a non-lexicalist approach and consider the phenomenon of affixation in Ardalani Kurdish language by this approach. The research results indicate that affixation and the process of forming plural nouns can be explained by distributed morphology approach.

Authors: ARMAN Sezgi , İŞİSAĞ ÜÇÜNCÜ Sema
Published: March 2019

Organophosphate pesticides are commonly used to increase agricultural
efficiency worldwide. However, it has been proved that these chemicals
generally do not show target specificity and non-target vertebrate organisms
are adversely affected by pesticide exposure. The aim of the present study was
to examine the potential harmful effects of fonofos, an organophosphate
insecticide, on the gill tissues of zebrafish (Danio rerio). Adult zebrafish were exposed to 1, 2 and 4 mg/L
fonofos for 96 hours. Gill tissues were removed, fixed with Bouin’s fluid and
embedded in paraffin. 5 µm serial sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin,
Gomori trichrome or periodic acid-Schiff. Samples were investigated by light
microscopy and histological alterations were compared with the 0.1% dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) exposed solvent control samples. Fonofos caused epithelial
lifting, curling of secondary lamellae, desquamation, epithelial hyperplasia,
and lamellar fusion in the gills. Gills showed distinct histopathological
changes through fonofos exposure. It was determined that fonofos is a threat to
non-target organisms living in aquatic ecosystems.

Authors: Durneva Elena I. , Sokolov Dmitry I. , Yarmolinskaya Maria I. , Selkov Sergey A.
Published: March 2019

Hypothesis/aims of study. Endometriosis is the main cause of infertility and social maladjustment in women, caused by the presence of inflammatory endometriotic implants outside the uterus. A number of chemokines, including interferons, compromise the immune response on the development of endometriosis raising the interest to the investigation of interferons in this context. Based on this, the purpose of this review was to study the role of interferons in the pathogenesis of external genital endometriosis and to assess the possibility of their application within comprehensive pathogenesis-based therapy.
Study design, materials and methods: literature data of national and international investigations for the period from 1996 to 2018; systematic analysis and evaluation of the literary data.
Conclusion. Type I interferons seem to be promising agents for understanding of the pathogenesis of endometriosis, and can be considered as targeted therapy for this disease. The mechanisms of their functions require a further study. Type II interferons may be used in the future as diagnostic markers for the assessment of the disease severity.
The simulation and analysis for a new concept of the stator power supply mode of a medium speed maglev system
Authors: Lin Ying , Qin Feng , WAng Xiaohua
Published: March 2019

Aim: The Aim of this paper is to demonstrate the structure of the proposed new stator power supply mode.
Methods: analyze the results of some simulation work to see whether the new concept could meet the requirements of the medium speed maglev transportation system or not. The study is based on some simulation work which is done by the software tool developed in the research work in “The 11th Five-year plan” of China.
Results: The calculation results indicate that, from the point of view of top speed, that say 200 km/h, the structure of the new concept could meet the requirement of the medium speed system, but further studies are demanded for the engineering application.
Conclusion: The advantage of this structure is to reduce the demand for the capacity of the inverters and eliminate the requirements for the cable lines and the stator switches. However, the disadvantage is also explicit. The structure is more complex than its high speed peer, and thus need more complex control strategies. And the structure is more fixed and thus maybe need more invest at the beginning of an engineering project.

Authors: Yang Ying , Zhang Wenyue , Tong Laisheng , Peng Qibiao , Luo Huajun , Suo Jianguo
Published: March 2019

Background: For medium and low speed maglev transportation system, the eddy current will be induced in rail, which is made of solid steel, while the train is running. The levitation force of electromagnets will be weakened by the magnetic field generated by eddy current in the rail, especially at the position of the forefront electromagnets. With the increase of train running speed, the eddy current effect will also increase, which will reach 30 % at 100 km/h, and which will directly affect the levitation stability of the train during high-speed running. Put it another way, it will limit the further improvement of the running speed of the medium and low speed maglev train.
Aim: In order to solve the above problem, and compensate the levitation force reduced by the eddy current effect.
Methods: The FEA method is used to obtain the magnetic field distribution and levitation force changing with the train speed. And taking the middle and low speed maglev trains and rails of Changsha Maglev Express as the research object, we have adopted two solutions, and the prototypes of airsprings and levitation magnets are manufactured and tested in the train.
Results: The test result show that the currents of the windings at the front end of the two forefront electromagnets are reduced obviously.
Conclusion: In this paper, the medium and low speed maglev train and rail used by Changsha Maglev Express are studied, the eddy current effect is analyzed, and two solutions are proposed. The results show that the solution methods can alleviate the eddy current effects to some extent.

O treinamento é uma maneira eficaz de agregar valor às pessoas, para a organização e também aos clientes. Por isso, pessoas que são treinadas aumentam a produtividade e, consequentemente, o lucro da organização. Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de explorar a importância de manter os funcionários treinados e motivados para maior percepção de desempenho de suas tarefas. Este trabalho qualitativo foi efetuado por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico utilizando-se de livros e artigos. Conclui-se que o treinamento capacita o indivíduo a melhorar seu desempenho elevando-o a obter recompensas e ser bem avaliado em seu ambiente de trabalho, além de que os funcionários, ao serem reconhecidos pela execução de suas tarefas e profissionalismo, se sentem motivados, pois muitos não querem somente trabalhar e receber o salário, mas receberem o reconhecimento de seus superiores. No entanto, a recompensa proporciona um sentimento de segurança. O salário define o padrão de vida da pessoa e de seus dependentes. O sistema de remuneração proporciona o poder aquisitivo do qual depende o nível de vida. Palavras-chave: Gestão de Pessoal. Treinamento. Motivação.

A pesquisa parte do pressuposto de que o endomarketing é uma realidade que se apresenta nas organizações contemporâneas na busca de fatores relevantes, como: uma equipe comprometida e motivada refletindo, diretamente, na satisfação do cliente externo e na expansão dos negócios e produtividade da empresa. Em um contexto em que a tecnologia, a comunicação em demasia e a globalização tornam os produtos e as empresas muito similares e saturam o mercado, percebe-se a utilização de processos de endomarketing dentro da organização atingindo a motivação dos colaboradores. Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica que fundamenta este artigo e analisando as mais variadas abordagens feitas por todos os autores, que formam a base deste estudo, pode-se concluir que o endomarketing pode ser utilizado como fator motivacional pelas organizações, alcançando assim resultados importantes como a influência na satisfação dos clientes e a expansão da produtividade da empresa, com uma equipe motivada e comprometida. O endomarketing favorece aberturas para ponderar processos que estimulem o comprometimento e as atitudes dos colaboradores nas organizações, possibilitando que os esforços dos indivíduos sejam utilizados de forma inteligente para benefício tanto da empresa quanto dos funcionários. Palavras-chave: Marketing.

Published: March 2019

A manifestação da obra de arte nos espaços preestabelecidos e de certa forma privados como museus e galerias indicam temáticas e público-alvo definido por uma territorialidade. Porém, o que ocorre com a manifestação da arte nas ruas? Como se estabelece a questão de territorialidade? Seria uma forma de multiterritorialidade? Como se configuraria a multiterritorialidade da manifestação da arte nas ruas do Centro da cidade de Ipatinga no Estado de Minas Gerais? Em busca de uma possível resposta se trata o objetivo do presente artigo, que é identificar a multiterritorialidade da manifestação da arte nas ruas do centro de Ipatinga, principalmente na Praça da Bíblia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujo método foi observacional, não participante, realizada no período de 2016-2017. Como instrumental teórico para análise qualitativa se utilizou a pentade burkeana. A bibliografia utilizada apresenta breves conceitos interdisciplinares, que tangem sobre arte, monumento, contramonumento, território, multiterritorialidade e o processo de formação territorial como um todo. A contextualização do território em que ocorre a manifestação permitiu que se identificasse a multiterritorialidade, que ocorre no processo de adaptação da manifestação da arte nas ruas e da apropriação deste território pelas manifestações da arte pública de forma cumulativa de diversas territorialidades. Palavras-chave: Multiterritorialidade. Manifestação. Arte e Rua Abstract: The art manifestation in the pre-established and somewhat private spaces such as museums and galleries indicate thematic and public target defined by a territoriality. But what happens with the art manifestation on the streets? How is the question of territoriality established? Is it a form of multiterritoriality? How would the multiterritoriality of the art manifestation  be configured on the streets of Ipatinga's downtown area in the State of Minas Gerais? In search of a possible answer, the purpose of this article is to identify the multiterritoriality of the art manifestation in the streets of the downtown area of Ipatinga city, especially in  Praça da Biblia. It is a qualitative research whose method was observational, non-participant, carried out in the period 2016-2017. As a theoretical instrument for qualitative analysis, the Burkean pentade was used. The bibliography used presents brief interdisciplinary concepts that deal with art, monument, countermument, territory, multiterritoriality and the  territorial formation process as a whole. The  territory contextualisation in which the manifestation occurs allowed the multiterritoriality identification that occurs in the adaptation process of the art manifestation in the streets and the appropriation of this territory by the manifestations of public art in a cumulative form of diverse territorialities. Keywords: Multiterritoriality.
