Authors: Adiane Borges Débora , Rosa Paiva Ed Carlo , Panazzolo Sarmento Antover , Alves de Resende André
Published: May 2016

RESUMO: Este trabalho objetivou analisar as condições térmicas dos blocos didáticos da Universidade Federal de Goiás, Regional Catalão. O conforto térmico foi avaliado pela ISO 7730 (ISO, 2005) por meio dos índices PMV e PPD e das prescrições da NR 17 (BRASIL, 1978), enquanto o estresse térmico foi avaliado pelo valor máximo do IBUTG conforme a NR 15 (BRASIL, 1978) e a NHO 06 (BRASIL, 2002). As medições foram realizadas na sala 301 do Bloco Didático 1 (BD1) utilizando-se um medidor de estresse térmico para medir o IBUTG e as temperaturas de bulbo seco, bulbo úmido e globo, usadas para determinar a temperatura efetiva e os índices PMV e PPD com o auxílio dos programas Grapsi v. 5.1 e Ladesys v. 1.0. A sala foi considerada desconfortável por calor principalmente na primavera e verão, enquanto no outono e inverno houve dias confortáveis para ela desocupada, sem garantir que permaneceria confortável quando cheia de alunos. Possíveis soluções para o problema seria a colocação de brises na fachada esquerda do BD1, arborização e instalação de climatizadores. As contribuições deste trabalho envolveram a análise do desconforto térmico em uma instituição de ensino e os possíveis impactos na produtividade, motivação por mais pesquisas na área e a citação de estratégias para amenizar o desconforto térmico. ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the thermal conditions of the Education Center at the Federal University of Goiás, Regional Catalão. Thermal comfort was evaluated by ISO 7730 (ISO 2005) through of PMV and PPD indexes and the requirements of NR 17 (BRAZIL, 1978), while the thermal stress was evaluated by the WBGT maximum value according to NR 15 (BRAZIL, 1978 ) and NHO 06 (BRAZIL, 2002). Measurements were performed at classroom 301 of the Education Center 1 using a thermal stress meter to measure the WBGT and dry bulb temperature, wet bulb and globe, used to determine the effective temperature and PMV and PPD indexes with the help of programs Grapsi v. 5.1 and Ladesys v. 1.0. The classroom was considered uncomfortable for heat mainly in spring and summer, while in autumn and winter there were comfortable days to empty classroom, without to ensure that it remained comfortable in the classroom full of students. Possible solutions to the problem would be put solar protections in the left side of the Education Center I, forestation and air conditioners installation. The contributions of this work involved the analysis of thermal discomfort in an educational institution and the possible impacts on productivity, motivation for further research in the area and the citation of strategies to mitigate the thermal discomfort.
Análise do instrumento público licitatório à luz dos princípios constitucionais da cf/88: um debate sobre as leis 8.666/1993 e 12.462/2011
Authors: Siqueira dos Santos Cícero Júnior , De Oliveira Lima Filho Marcos José , Ribeiro Bandeira João Adolfo
Published: May 2016

O presente trabalho visa promover um debate entre a Lei Geral das Licitações e Contratos Administrativos (Lei 8.666/93) e a Lei do Regime Diferenciado de Contratações Públicas (Lei 12.462/2011) no tocante a observância dos Princípios Constitucionais da Administração Pública na fase de elaboração e execução desses instrumentos públicos licitatórios. Para isso foi necessário partir de um estudo inicial sobre Gestão Pública que teve como pano de fundo os Princípios Licitatórios com ênfase nos rol do Caput do Art.37 da Constituição Federal de 1988. Foram comparados também os procedimentos licitatórios das leis retro mencionadas. A fundamentação foi feita através da pesquisa bibliográfica. Como resultado da investigação, constatou-se que embora exista o cumprimento formal da norma principiológica no que tange ao respeito aos princípios da Administração Pública nos certames regidos por ambas as leis, em contrapartida não há uma aplicação e interesse visível do Poder Público do RDC em casos de maior relevância e urgência, o que descontrói a razão de ser desse regime excepcional e põe em xeque o acesso substancial da norma aos potenciais beneficiados com o seu pleno cumprimento.
Evaluating the Competing Claims on the Role of Ownership Regime Models on International Drinking Water Coverage
Authors: Stutsman Chadd , Tzoumis Kelly , Bennett Susan
Published: May 2016

While progress has been made for providing drinking water through the completion of the Millennium Development Goals and other international programs, millions of people still do not have access to clean drinking water. This study examines how drinking water coverage is impacted using three regime ownership models. Using the framework of the privately-owned, publicly-owned, and decentralized regime models, the impacts of water production, non-revenue water, and unit operation cost are evaluated for drinking water coverage. A sample of 144 utilities across 33 countries were sampled using data from the International Benchmarking Network for Water and Sanitation Utilities. Using ordinary least squares modeling, results indicate that predicting water coverage from water production, non-revenue water, and unit operational costs provided weak explanations of variation for both publicly-owned and decentralized regimes. None of the three regime models established a significant relationship between water coverage and all three independent variables. For publicly- and privately-owned water regimes, decreasing non-revenue water by plugging leaks and improving infrastructure can translate into higher rates of water coverage. For decentralized water regimes, higher levels of unit operational cost can increase water coverage. The regression analyses also showed that broad claims about regime ownership, efficiency, and improved water coverage should be suspect. None of the three regime models established a significant relationship between water coverage and all three independent variables. This suggests that the competing claims that privatized drinking water utilities as being more efficient or more able to provide water coverage as compared to other types of utilities in the literature is not supported when compared across countries.
On the Extraction of Vanadium (V) by Alkanols: A comparative Study of 1-pentanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol Isomers as Extractants for Vanadium (V) Extraction from Hydrochloric Acid Solutions
Authors: Ojo James O. , Oyegoke David A.
Published: May 2016

Further to the previous study on the extractive recovery of V(V) from HCl solution by some alkanols, the extraction of V(V) from HCl solutions by 1-pentanol and 3-methyl -1-butanol (isomers) dissolved in n-heptane were investigated in the present study, still propelled by the need to proffering viable alternatives to the scarce and relatively costly organophosphorous extractants, and also compare the extraction efficiency of straight- and branched-chain extractants. At the studied pH range (0.5-4.0) with 1-penttanol as extractant, the percentage V(V) extraction (extraction efficiency, E%) reached optimum E%= 40.0 at pH of 3.0 and for 3-methyl-1-butanol, optimum E% was 36.7 at pH 2.0. Increasing concentration of HCl at the studied range (1.0 – 6.0 mol L-1) was found to have an appreciable effect on percentage V(V) extraction. With both extractants, E% peaked at 5.0 and 6.0 mol L-1HCl with values 70.0 and 66.7% for 1-pentanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol respectively.

With increase in the concentration of extractants, both extractants produced a trend of increased/decreased in E% for V(V), suggesting the extraction of two different species. The optimal percentage extraction values were 70.0 and 66.7% observed at log [1-pentanol] = 0.86 mol L-1 and log[3-methyl-1-butanol]=0.86 mol L-1 , in that order. The determined enthalpy change. for 1-pentanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol systems were -80.4/120 kJ mol-1 and -203.0/254.7 kJ mol-1 respectively, indicating exothermic/endothermic extraction processes. The isomer 3- methyl -1-butanol gave a higher extraction efficiency after a three-stage extraction (E% = 92.5) than 1-pentanol (E% = 83.4). Recycling experiment revealed both to be recyclable. From slope analysis, analytical and spectra data, the extracted complexes have been formulated as VO2Cl.nROH and (VO2Cl)m.nROH (where m>> n) at low and high concentrations of extractant, respectively. On the whole, 3-methyl-1-butanol was assessed as fairly better as an extractant for vanadium (V) at lower temperature experimental conditions. The effect of methyl branched-chain played an insignificant role on the extraction.
Does Trade Liberalisation Hurt Nigeria’s Manufacturing Sector?
Authors: Ogu Callistus , Aniebo Chibueze , Elekwa Paul
Published: May 2016

This study examines the role of trade liberalization in the growth of manufacturing output in Nigeria, focusing on the short to medium term period while not ignoring the very important long term on which most studies have focused. Data for the period 1980 to 2013 were obtained from CBN and WDI, with which parameter estimates were extracted for the short to medium term using the error correction mechanism. Trade liberalization was found to hurt manufacturing output in the short run although it showed a real potential to boost it in the long term. An overhaul of competition policy was recommended with a view to establishing Neutral Status in manufacturing export trade.

Authors: Madugba Joseph Ugochukwu , Ekwe Michael Chidiebere , Okezie Stella Ogechukwu
Published: May 2016

The study evaluation of the contributions of oil revenue on economic development in Nigeria tested the impact of growth rate in oil revenue and growth rate in Gross Domestic product and growth rate in total federally collected revenue of the Government from 1991 to 2012. Regression analysis was used to carry out data analysis with the aid of SPSS version 20. Results showed that a unit change in growth rate of oil revenue will lead to an equal unit change in growth rate of gross domestic product. The study recommends that federal government should intensify efforts to increase revenue derived from oil especially as it impacts on GDP and federally collected revenue.
Measuring individuals’ concerns over collective privacy on social networking sites
Authors: Jia Haiyan , Xu Heng
Published: May 2016

With the rise of social networking sites (SNSs), individuals not only disclose personal information but also share private information concerning others online. While shared information is co-constructed by self and others, personal and collective privacy boundaries become blurred. Thus there is an increasing concern over information privacy beyond the individual perspective. However, limited research has empirically examined if individuals are concerned about privacy loss not only of their own but their social ties’; nor is there an established instrument for measuring the collective aspect of individuals’ privacy concerns. In order to address this gap in existing literature, we propose a conceptual framework of individuals’ collective privacy concerns in the context of SNSs. Drawing on the Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory (Petronio, 2002), we suggest three dimensions of collective privacy concerns, namely, collective information access, control and diffusion. This is followed by the development and empirical validation of a preliminary scale of SNS collective privacy concerns (SNSCPC). Structural model analyses confirm the three-dimensional conceptualization of SNSCPC and reveal antecedents of SNS users’ concerns over violations of the collective privacy boundaries. This paper serves as a starting point for theorizing privacy as a collective notion and for understanding online information disclosure as a result of social interaction and group influence.
Intra-Democracy Regime Change. Transitions Between Presidential, Parliamentary and Semi-Presidential Systems
Authors: Bayram Salih
Published: May 2016

This article examines transitions between presidential, parliamentary and semi-presidential systems in democracies. Using two major datasets, it identifies nine such transitions in eight different countries: Brazil 1961, France 1962, Sri Lanka 1977, Slovakia 1999, Moldova 2000, Turkey 2007, Kenya 2008, Kenya 2010, and the Czech Republic 2012. Findings from a close examination of these cases include the following: most transitions involve the semi-presidential regime type; serious crises precede the transitions in nearly all the cases and change is often used as a means of solving these crises; electoral volatility and turnover in government precede most transitions; change serves different functions in different political contexts, ranging from facilitating acceptance of anti-establishment executives to implementing power-sharing deals; and once achieved, regime change becomes an almost permanent fixture on the political agenda, with debates escalating rather than dying down.
The Nixon Administration’s Initiatives for the European Community. An Overview and Analysis
Authors: Nguyen Hang
Published: May 2016

This paper aims to argue that the Nixon administration (1969–1974) steadily reviewed U.S. relations with the European Community. With a documentary approach, this paper will show that the Nixon administration’s new strategy toward the European Community implied a redefinition of U.S. policy towards European integration. The Nixon administration decided that the U.S. needed to reduce Europe’s free riding on the United States and asked the European Community to be more responsible for its own defense. Four initiatives − the Reduction of Costs and Forces in Europe (REDCOSTE), o set agreements with the FRG, the Nixon doctrine, and the new strategy toward NATO − demonstrated the Nixon administration’s attempts to carry out a new kind of diplomacy which aimed to look after U.S. national interests and leave the internal evolution of the European integration process to the Europeans.

Authors: Nilufar Nahar  , Waliul Islam Khan  , Mohammad Shoeb
Published: May 2016

Camel farming is increasing in Bangladesh but the nutritious value of the produced milk has not been studied in this geological location. The milk was coagulated by citric acid and the coagulated solid i.e. the casein (7%) and pure serum (14%) were obtained. Fat content was determined by extracting casein and the aqueous serum, separately with n-hexane and found 2.59% and 5.79%, respectively. The fatty acids in the fat from casein and serum were made into their methyl ester by saponification followed by esterification and analyzed by GC-FID. Palmitoleic, oleic and linoleic acids were predominant fatty acids found in the analyzed samples while stearic, arachidic, behenic and myristic acids were present as minor acids. Water, ash, nitrogen and lactose contents in the milk were 84%, 0.88%, 1.62% and 9.32%, respectively. The presence of vitamin B1, B2 and B6 were estimated by UV-VIS spectrophotometer and found 388, 64 and 116 ppm, respectively.
Communication and Collaboration between School and Family for Addressing Bullying
Authors: J. Stamatis Panagiotis , N. Nikolaou Eleni
Published: May 2016

School and family are the main socializing agents for children. Therefore, effective communication and collaboration between these contexts is essential, although sometimes there are barriers to school-family partnership, particularly when they try to play a more active role in the educational process. It is widely recognized that parent involvement in school has successful contributions to student school outcomes. Moreover, It is crucial for addressing effectively bullying, as it is a problem student behaviour in Greek society as well.In this context, the present research aims to explore teachers' views about family-school communication and collaboration regarding the extent to which they address effectively bullying. 150 primary education teachers from public schools in Rhodes participated in this research, which conducted in 2015. Results show that teachers endorse the importance of school-family collaboration for addressing bullying. In addition, they consider this collaboration important, as it has an important influence on children's attitudes to school, and their behaviour in school environment. Furthermore, they suggest that school-family collaboration may improve students' social skills, which can enhance their emotional development and reduce their social isolation from the peer group. Finally, they assert that school-family collaboration can empower children's relationship with their parents and teachers, and in the long term it can contribute in enhancing their school achievement.
Does High Unemployment Rate Cause High Suicide Rate? Evidence from Japan and South Korea
Authors: Huang Chiung-Ju , Ho Yuan-Hong
Published: May 2016

This study utilizes an asymmetric Granger causality test suggested by Hatemi-J (2012) to examine the causal relationship running from unemployment rate to suicide rate over the period of 1985 to 2012 in Japan and South Korea. Empirical results show that no Granger causality running from unemployment rate to suicide rate exists in Japan. However, results show that for South Korea, Granger causality exists running from a negative unemployment rate shock to a negative shock in suicide rate. More specifically, a decrease in unemployment rate leads to a decrease in suicide rate. Although the findings of this study do not support that an increase in unemployment rate has led to an increase in suicide rate for Japan and South Korea, a decrease in unemployment rate leads to a decrease in suicide rate in South Korea. Therefore, policy makers in South Korea could decrease unemployment rate to cause a decrease in suicide rate.

Published: May 2016

Just as the diverse as the various substrates that can be coated is the choice of several coating methods by which the coating can be applied to these pretreated surfaces. They include the manual methods, where great skills and experience is needed, on the other hand there are automated and robotics coating control methods where coating can be applied with more precise manner. Sol-gel process is one of the promising bottom up nano-coating technologies to develop thin film over various metallic substrates. The property and characteristic of the resulting film is strongly influenced by the various parameters and reaction conditions of the sol-gel process and of course on the deposition techniques. In this review, we have thrown some lights on different coating application processes covering theoretical principle, advantages, disadvantages, and special various parameters controlling the final film quality.

El constructo valor social subjetivo de la educación: validación cruzada entre profesorado de escuela y universidad
Authors: Sancho-Álvarez Carlos , Jornet Jesús M. , González-Such José
Published: May 2016

La Educación posee un valor social evidente que puede presentarse mediante indicadores de evaluación socio-educativos. Si bien la relación entre contexto escolar y rendimiento es evidente en diversos países, esta relación va perdiendo consistencia en los últimos años; ya que aparecen sectores estudiantiles que superan las predicciones académicas esperadas. Para ello, se estudia el Valor Social Subjetivo de la Educación en función de dos grupos docentes –escuela y universidad–. La metodología es complementaria a través de comités de expertos/as y validación cruzada de constructo. Se realizan análisis sobre dos escalas –relevancia y susceptibilidad de
cambio– y entre dos muestras diferenciadas para comprobar el consenso inter-subjetivo. Los datos muestran un acuerdo estadísticamente significativo en todas las dimensiones, sin embargo, se observan discrepancias dependiendo de la etapa escolar. Finalmente, se propone un constructo validado a través de cuatro dimensiones y trece indicadores de evaluación.

Le rapport mondial de l’UNESCO sur les sociétés du savoir. État des lieux au Québec, dix ans plus tard
Authors: Bernatchez Jean
Published: May 2016

Le rapport mondial de l’UNESCO sur les sociétés du savoir, publié en 2005, incarne l’idéal de la science au service du développement humain. Le modèle qui y est décrit constitue une solution de remplacement à celui de l’économie du savoir, proposé par l’OCDE en 1996, lequel inspire les politiques scientifiques des pays industrialisés. Nous reprenons dans cet article trois thèmes centraux du rapport de l’UNESCO sur les sociétés du savoir et nous déclinons les valeurs et les normes qui les orientent : la gouvernance de la science, l’organisation de la recherche scientifique et l’évolution de l’enseignement supérieur. Pour chaque thème, nous dressons un état des lieux au Québec selon l’idéal des sociétés du savoir.
Faire l’économie du savoir. Usages et représentations du financement public des universités du Québec, de l’après-guerre à la Révolution tranquille (1950-1968)
Authors: Racine St-Jacques Jules , Maltais Martin
Published: May 2016

Le présent article retrace les principales manifestations de la culture politique dans laquelle se sont implantées les premières politiques publiques de financement universitaire au Québec entre 1950 et 1968. Les années 1950-1960 sont marquées par un faible degré de normalisation et un manque de planification du développement universitaire. Les institutions d’enseignement supérieur sont alors considérées par le pouvoir d’un point de vue humaniste, au même titre que les organismes culturels. Bien qu’elles tendent à produire de nouvelles élites, ces institutions demeurent vouées à la reproduction de l’ordre social traditionnel. Durant la Révolution tranquille, l’enseignement supérieur est davantage pris en charge par l’appareil étatique québécois, qui s’outille pour pourvoir aux besoins grandissants d’une population en croissance et d’un État en expansion. Cette période est marquée par des efforts de systématisation du mode de financement, mais ceux-ci demeurent teintés d’une culture discrétionnaire persistante. La représentation humaniste de l’université cède progressivement le pas à une idée d’université qui la dépeint comme un rouage essentiel du développement socioéconomique.
Le discours des évêques italiens sur la famille et les questions éthiques : une ou plusieurs voix ?
Authors: Pesce Francesco
Published: May 2016

Le présent article étudie l’enseignement des évêques italiens sur la famille et quelques questions éthiques, sur une période de dix ans (2001-2011). Pour les catholiques italiens et les Italiens en général, il n’est pas facile de faire la distinction entre le Vatican et la Conférence épiscopale italienne et, par conséquent, on donne de l’importance aux discours d’un évêque en fonction de son rapport à la position « officielle » du pape. Dans ce contexte, on examinera les discours de quatre évêques qui ont une résonance publique, c’est-à-dire des interventions dans lesquelles ces évêques sont conscients de s’adresser non seulement aux catholiques mais aux Italiens. Il en résultera un panorama diversifié, qui montre différentes approches des problèmes de l’homme d’aujourd’hui.

«Loa de la comedia de Montjuïc»: un diàleg bèl·lic entre Catalunya i Castella
Authors: Domènech Conxita
Published: May 2016

Resum: En aquest article analitzo la lloa ubicada després de La comedia del marqués de los Vélez (1641) al fons del Museu d’Història de Barcelona i que suposo, per la ubicació i per l’estil, que el mateix autor les va escriure totes dues amb la intenció que primerament fos representada o bé llegida la lloa i a continuació la comèdia. Pel que fa a la lloa, em dedicaré a l’autor anònim català, i concretament barceloní, que vindicarà la presa d’armes dels catalans, si bé ho farà en llengua castellana. A més, l’autor anònim escollirà el teatre —i no el pamflet propagandístic— per difondre la seva ideologia política. D’aquesta manera, la Loa de la comedia de Montjuïc es converteix en l’única obra dramàtica breu catalana de caràcter propagandístic escrita en castellà sobre la Guerra dels Segadors.Paraules clau: barroc, teatre, pamflets, propaganda, Guerra dels Segadors.
La traducció de Narcís Oller d’«Un llibre trist»
Authors: Garcia Sala Ivan
Published: May 2016

Resum: Durant el període de crisi creativa que sofreix a finals del s. XIX, Narcís Oller es dedica a la traducció. Una de les obres que tradueix és Un llibre trist, un recull factici de tres textos de Lev Tolstoi. L’estudi comparatiu de la traducció i recepció d’aquestes obres a Europa revela que Oller utilitzà dues fonts intermèdies franceses per traduir un dels textos, La mort d’Ivan Ilitx, i una sola font per als altres dos, Tres morts i La mort al camp de batalla. La comparació amb les fonts intermèdies també posa de manifest la voluntat d’Oller de fer unes traduccions ben integrades en els sistema lingu?ístic i cultural català, fins al punt de provocar la il·lusió que són textos originals. És en els diàlegs on s’evidencia d’una manera més clara el treball d’apropiació i reescriptura que fa Oller. L’oralitat que Oller imprimeix als diàlegs aproxima les seves traduccions al text original de Tolstoi, i les distancia de les traduccions franceses intermèdies, estilísticament molt més neutres.Paraules clau: traducció del rus, Narcís Oller traductor, Lev Tolstoi al català, traducció indirecta.
Construccions connectives binàries en el debat parlamentari
Authors: Mestre Martí
Published: May 2016

Resum: El gènere polític del debat parlamentari és eminentment argumentatiu perquè els parlamentaris defensen una postura respecte a un tema de discussió. Aquesta postura es materialitza en unes estructures argumentatives, les parts de les quals sovint són delimitades pels connectors binaris (principalment causals i consecutius, però també condicionals, finals, adversatius i concessius). L’objectiu d’aquest treball és fer una anàlisi lingu?ística i argumentativa d’aquest tipus de construccions des d’una perspectiva local, cas per cas, i global, integrades en l’encadenament discursiu, en un corpus format per tres debats en català del Parlament de Catalunya. D’una banda, a partir dels resultats obtinguts, s’hi fa una comparació amb els resultats de treballs anteriors que tracten de la relació entre connexió i gènere discursiu (Castellà 2001; Cuenca 2013a) i es relaciona l’ús de connectors amb el grau de formalitat i preparació del debat parlamentari. D’una altra banda, s’hi analitza la construcció del discurs i l’estil individual de cada parlamentari d’acord amb l’encadenament i la coherència de les idees, i al tipus d’ordre i moviment argumentatius.Paraules clau: relacions binàries, construccions connectives binàries, argumentació, debat parlamentari, gènere discursiu.
Usos lingüístics i ideologia: què fan els universitaris valencians?
Authors: Casesnoves Ferrer Raquel , Mas Castells Josep Àngel
Published: May 2016

Resum: L’article analitza la relació entre el posicionament ideològic dels estudiants universitaris valencians i el seu comportament lingüístic. A més de l’eix tradicional esquerra-dreta, l’autodefinició ideològica requerida inclou també la identificació nacional-regional i la postura sobre la unitat de la llengua catalana, objectes de disputa ideològica sempre latent, ara i adés explícita, al País Valencià. Els usos lingüístics són també plurals i diversos; de fet, un punt d’interés remarcable és la correlació entre els més lligats a l’hàbit o als contextos de proximitat i els més intencionals o de relació secundària. És en aquests darrers on les idees poden tindre un paper més determinant.Paraules clau: usos lingüístics, ideologia, identitat, estudiants universitaris, València.
J. V. Foix i la ironia romàntica
Authors: Geisler Eberhard
Published: May 2016

Resum: L’article es basa en el convenciment que la comprensió usual de la ironia no pot ser aplicada a les obres de J. V. Foix, les quals més aviat han de ser enteses en el context de la ironia romàntica tal com va ser concebuda per Friedrich Schlegel i més tard documentada en la investigació d’Ingrid Strohschneider-Kohrs. Es descriu el terme «reflexió» com l’autonegació de l’absolut per a després analitzar alguns poemes en prosa del poeta, en què tal classe d’ironia pot ser identificada. En els escrits de Foix les freqüents metareflexions sobre poesia o pintura fan aparèixer els textos o els quadres com a il·legibles o dotats d’un gran poder subversiu. Una peça com «El Roc pertús» deconstrueix l’absoluta exemplaritat i arranja un joc d’irònica refracció, la consequ?ència final de la qual és un gir antiteològic.Paraules clau: ironia, ironia romàntica, Romanticisme alemany, Schlegel, Foix, avantguardisme.

Resum: L’article passa revista a les diferents modalitats de la ironia que són presents a La Glòria del doctor Larén (1936), la primera novel·la de Pere Calders: les reflexions metaficcionals a càrrec dels narradors i dels personatges i altres recursos irònics a l’abast del narrador en l’exercici de les seues funcions, la ironia de l’autor en el prefaci, les ironies de situació, les ironies verbals i les paròdies. L’anàlisi mostra, a través de la diversitat i la recurrència de les ironies que hi apareixen, que La Glòria del doctor Larén posa les bases de la ironia que identificarà la poètica de l’autor i ho fa amb el caràcter, les funcions i l’estil característics de la producció de l’etapa de maduresa.Paraules clau: ironia, metaficció, paròdia, Pere Calders, La Glòria del doctor Larén.
A l’entorn de la ironia de situació i la comèdia burgesa: el cas de «La llotja», de Josep M. Millàs-Raurell
Authors: Rosselló Ramon X.
Published: May 2016

Resum: En aquest article ens aproximem als usos de la ironia de situació en la construcció de la comèdia burgesa dels anys vint del segle XX, i perfer-ho agafarem com a text de referència la peça La llotja (1928), de J. M. Millàs-Raurell. Ara bé, l’itinerari d’anàlisi que hi plantegem partirà de la consideració de la comèdia burgesa com un dels models escènics de més difusió, el qual té en la producció dramàtica de Carles Soldevila un referent essencial, representada en aquest article per Bola de neu (1927). Tot seguit, passarem a l’objecte central de la nostra anàlisi, La llotja, peça que posarem en relació amb la construcció de Soldevila per veure fins a quin punt hi trobem els mateixos recursos o no. Fruit d’aquesta comparació plantejarem, finalment, la possibilitat de fer una lectura de l’obra de Millàs-Raurell en termes d’ironia hipertextual.Paraules clau: J. M. Millàs-Raurell, comèdia burgesa, La llotja, ironia de situació, ironia hipertextual.
Modalitats de la ironia en la poesia lírica de Josep Maria de Sagarra
Authors: Sunyer Magí
Published: May 2016

Resum: Aquest article analitza la poesia que Josep Maria de Sagarra va escriure durant els anys vint i trenta —exclosos El comte Arnau, Poema de Nadal i la poesia satírica— per descobrir-hi les raons de fons que hi propicien el joc irònic. S’observa una neta diferència en la poesia escrita en cada una de les dècades, en relació amb un canvi en les circumstàncies personals i la sensibilitat manifestada envers noves estètiques. Si en la poesia dels anys vint la ironia, esgrimida com a defensa, havia de conviure amb la voluntat de depuració poètica, l’impacte del surrealisme i el contrast provocat per la coneixença de noves terres sentides com a estranyes aporten noves raons per al distanciament en la poesia dels anys trenta.Paraules clau: ironia, Josep Maria de Sagarra, poesia pura, surrealisme.

Salicylate and acetylsalicylic acid are potent and widely used anti-inflammatory drugs. They are thought to exert their therapeutic effects through multiple mechanisms, including the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenases, modulation of NF-κB activity, and direct activation of AMPK. However, the full spectrum of their activities is incompletely understood. Here we show that salicylate specifically inhibits CBP and p300 lysine acetyltransferase activityin vitroby direct competition with acetyl-Coenzyme A at the catalytic site. We used a chemical structure-similarity search to identify another anti-inflammatory drug, diflunisal, that inhibits p300 more potently than salicylate. At concentrations attainable in human plasma after oral administration, both salicylate and diflunisal blocked the acetylation of lysine residues on histone and non-histone proteins in cells. Finally, we found that diflunisal suppressed the growth of p300-dependent leukemia cell lines expressing AML1-ETO fusion proteinin vitroandin vivo. These results highlight a novel epigenetic regulatory mechanism of action for salicylate and derivative drugs.
Influence of electric fields on absorption spectra of AAB-stacked trilayer graphene
Authors: Chiu Chih-Wei , Chen Rong-Bin
Published: May 2016

The tight-binding model and gradient approximation are, respectively, used to calculate the band structures and the absorption spectra of AAB-stacked trilayer graphene (AAB-TLG). AAB stacking, the lowest symmetric geometric structure in trilayer systems, induces the most atomic interactions, and thus, complicates the energy dispersions and the joint density of states. AAB stacking enriches the optical absorption spectra [A(ω)], which dictate the characteristics of the electronic structure. A(ω) are changed by the static electric field, such as the intensity, frequency, and number of absorption structures. These results contrast sharply with those for TLG in other stacking configurations.

Micrometer-scale responses of radio-photoluminescence (RPL) glass dosimeters to focused ionized particle radiation were evaluated by combining ion-beam-induced luminescence (IBIL) and proton beam writing (PBW) using a 3 MeV focused proton microbeam. RPL phosphate glass dosimeters doped with ionic Ag or Cu activators at concentrations of 0.2 and 0.1% were fabricated, and their scintillation intensities were evaluated by IBIL spectroscopy under a PBW micropatterning condition. Compared with the Ag-doped dosimeter, the Cu-doped dosimeter was more tolerant of the radiation, while the peak intensity of its luminescence was lower, under the precise dose control of the proton microprobe. Proton-irradiated areas were successfully recorded using these dosimeters and their RPL centers were visualized under 375 nm ultraviolet light. The reproduction of the irradiated region by post-RPL imaging suggests that precise estimation of irradiation dose using microdosimeters can be accomplished by optimizing RPL glass dosimeters for various proton microprobe applications in organic material analysis and in micrometer-scale material modifications.

We report a novel low-power nitriding technique by utilizing a 2.45 GHz microwave-excited nitrogen radical flow system. Nitrogen plasma was produced at the nozzle with dimensions of 50 × 0.5 mm2 and blown onto the surface of a target substrate. A titanium substrate has been used as a target plate since it is easy to visualize a nitriding effect. The titanium substrate was treated under the conditions of 60 W microwave power, 20 Torr of nitrogen gas pressure, and a plate temperature of ∼800 °C. As a result, we have succeeded in nitriding of the titanium substrate in a quasi-atmospheric region of 20 Torr and of a very low power of 60 W with the hardness kept high, which is almost the same as the hardness processed by conventional nitriding methods.

An explicit-solvent conformation search method using open software
Authors: Gaalswyk Kari , Rowley Christopher N.
Published: May 2016

Computer modeling is a popular tool to identify the most-probable conformers of a molecule. Although the solvent can have a large effect on the stability of a conformation, many popular conformational search methods are only capable of describing molecules in the gas phase or with an implicit solvent model. We have developed a work-flow for performing a conformation search on explicitly-solvated molecules using open source software. This method uses replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) to sample the conformational states of the molecule efficiently. Cluster analysis is used to identify the most probable conformations from the simulated trajectory. This work-flow was tested on drug molecules α-amanitin and cabergoline to illustrate its capabilities and effectiveness. The preferred conformations of these molecules in gas phase, implicit solvent, and explicit solvent are significantly different.
Simulations of ionospheric turbulence produced by HF heating near the upper hybrid layer

Published: May 2016

Heating of the ionosphere by high‐frequency (HF), ordinary (O) mode electromagnetic waves can excite magnetic field‐aligned density striations, associated with upper and lower hybrid turbulence and electron heating. We have used Vlasov simulations in one spatial and two velocity dimensions to study the induced turbulence in the presence of striations when the O‐mode pump is mode converted to large‐amplitude upper hybrid oscillations trapped in a striation. Parametric processes give rise to upper and lower hybrid turbulence, as well as to large amplitude, short wavelength electron Bernstein waves. The latter excite stochastic electron heating when their amplitudes exceed a threshold for stochasticity, leading to a rapid increase of the electron temperature by several thousands of kelvin. The results have relevance for high‐latitude heating experiments.
Ridge‐spotting: A new test for Pacific absolute plate motion models
Authors: Wessel Paul , Müller R. Dietmar
Published: May 2016

Relative plate motions provide high‐resolution descriptions of motions of plates relative to other plates. Yet geodynamically, motions of plates relative to the mantle are required since such motions can be attributed to forces (e.g., slab pull and ridge push) acting upon the plates. Various reference frames have been proposed, such as the hot spot reference frame, to link plate motions to a mantle framework. Unfortunately, both accuracy and precision of absolute plate motion models lag behind those of relative plate motion models. Consequently, it is paramount to use relative plate motions in improving our understanding of absolute plate motions. A new technique called “ridge‐spotting” combines absolute and relative plate motions and examines the viability of proposed absolute plate motion models. We test the method on six published Pacific absolute plate motions models, including fixed and moving hot spot models as well as a geodynamically derived model. Ridge‐spotting reconstructs the Pacific‐Farallon and Pacific‐Antarctica ridge systems over the last 80 Myr. All six absolute plate motion models predict large amounts of northward migration and monotonic clockwise rotation for the Pacific‐Farallon ridge. A geodynamic implication of our ridge migration predictions is that the suggestion that the Pacific‐Farallon ridge may have been pinned by a large mantle upwelling is not supported. Unexpected or erratic ridge behaviors may be tied to limitations in the models themselves or (for Indo‐Atlantic models) discrepancies in the plate circuits used to project models into the Pacific realm. Ridge‐spotting is promising and will be extended to include more plates and other ocean basins.
The graded alluvial river: Profile concavity and downstream fining
Authors: Blom Astrid , Viparelli Enrica , Chavarrías Víctor
Published: May 2016

There has been quite some debate on the relative importance of particle abrasion and grain size selective transport regarding the river profile form and the associated grain size trends in a graded alluvial stream. Here we present new theoretical equations for the graded alluvial river profile that account for the effects of particle abrasion and grain size selective transport in the absence of subsidence, uplift, and sea level change. Under graded conditions we find that abrasion results in a mild profile concavity and downstream fining, whereas under aggradational conditions grain size selective transport can lead to large spatial changes in channel slope and bed surface mean grain size.
