Published: March 2018

Este trabajo pretende realizar un análisis de la crónica Jornadas Náuticas de fray Jacinto de Carvajal a la luz de los conceptos bajtianos cronotopo y polifonía, en diálogo con la historia que rodea los acontecimientos narrados por la crónica. Esta lectura del texto de fray Jacinto evidencia tanto una visión del tiempo marcada por la tradición cristiana-católica, como una vivencia del espacio caracterizada por las prácticas cotidianas, la asombrosa naturaleza y los registros etnográficos. El cronotopo permite entender cómo la polifonía evidencia voces con rasgos únicos, que hacen a los nativos autónomos y resistentes a la llegada española.
Multidimensional and Equivocal: The Theoretical and Philosophical Issues of Legal Sanctions
Authors: Kociołek-Pęksa Anna , Pęksa Władysław
Published: March 2018

The social order, and especially the legal order, is implemented and maintained by institutions whose actions are based on the application of various forms of legal constraint. A sanction in the law may take various forms, as diversified in content may be the legislative justifications for them. The article deals with reflection on sanctions. It begins with a linguistic note: “sanction” as a semantic category and a term from juristic language. Then in the theory of law as an element of the structure of the norm. Authors also point out that sanctions exist in normative systems other than the law and they start reasoning by citing the view that the most important goal of establishing sanctions is to prompt adequate motivation of the subjects to comply with the norm (legal or other). In the essential part of the article the authors refer the division and typology of sanctions and theirs construction. In the final and most important part of the article the classical point of view - quoted at the beginning - is confronted with the order of international law, which is sometimes recognized as as lex imperfecta - as the international public law (law of nations) hasn’t developed a system of institutionalized sanctions ensuring observance of its norms. The authors suggest that it is a mistake committed the most frequently by lawyers not expert in international public law unjustifiably and incorrectly transfer the apparatus of notions with precisely assigned significance straight from the theory of domestic (in this case, Polish) law into the sphere of research on public international law. For the international law is shaped as a decentralized structure, within which the question of the execution of behaviours complying with its principles and rules belong to the duties of the subjects of that law-members of international society. The effectiveness, efficiency and purposefulness of the law is not completely nor exclusively conditioned by the existence and type of legal constraint and the international law has not been deprived of the attribute of law. The only real thing is only that a sanction has not always been automatically and immediately applied in case of infringement of a legal duty, since launching a sanction may require a specific legal action on behalf of another entitled subject of international law.
Party Autonomy in the Procedure of Appointing Arbitrators
Authors: Malacka Michal
Published: March 2018

Party autonomy is a recognized concept in commercial arbitration worldwide. The traditional aspect of international arbitration where three arbitrators are appointed has been subject to criticism in the past as well as today. The appointment of a sole arbitrator purportedly allows for shorter arbitration proceedings while appointing three arbitrators tends to prolong international arbitration. The limitations of party autonomy have been moving beyond the old horizons as within current global relations the parties tend to avoid making a decision on the appointment of arbitrators themselves and thus arbitration bodies or tribunals have to act instead of them. The objective of this study is thus to provide an analysis of the issue from a broader viewpoint and to present the differences of opinion together with interesting conclusions across the expert community.
Colour Preference of Online Consumers: a Cross- Cultural Perspective
Authors: Broeder Peter , Scherp Evelien
Published: March 2018

This study focuses on the influence of colour on the online purchasing intention of consumers. The literature review about colour associations showed that several factors could play a mediating role in the relationship between colour and purchasing intention. Two of these factors are emotion and trust, which have been shown in previous studies to have a relationship both with certain colours and with online purchasing intention. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between colour and online purchasing intention, taking into account the influence of emotion, trust and cultural differences between Western and Asian cultures. The method used to investigate these relationships was an online survey, which has been conducted amongst 522 participants from seven countries that can be separated in Western (The Netherlands, Germany and United Kingdom) and Asian (China, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia) cultures. The survey asked the participants about their cultural background, attitudes towards the product and message, emotions, level of trust, colour influences and experience. When filling in the survey, an image was presented to the participants that showed an online shopping background, a coloured context and a simple digital photo camera. Only the coloured context of this image varied amongst the participants; every participant answered the questions being exposed to one colour: red, yellow or blue. The results of the study showed that the direct relationship between colour and online purchasing intention was supported only for the colour yellow and that emotion indeed played a mediating role between colour and online purchasing intention, although no clear relationships could be defined between colours on the one hand and emotion and trust on the other hand. Concerning the cultural differences, results on emotion were found for both Western and Asian cultures, but trust was shown to influence the relationship between colour and online purchasing intention only for Asian consumers. The results partly confirmed the findings of previous studies, but also highlighted areas that need to be studied in more detail or by using another method. Overall, the study showed that colour does influence online purchasing intention, so companies should consider this when persuading consumers to buy their products.
Introduction in the Shopping Centre Sector from Romania - a Brief Inventory of the 24 Biggest Cities - as of July 2017
Authors: Micu Cosmin Bogdan
Published: March 2018

First years of specialised retail (in terms of department stores or shopping centres) either that we discuss of the period before the communist regime or that during the regime period itself it is a reality that both benefit from few relevant evidences. As a parallel to those times, the time frame starting from 1990, is the one that provides us with many more details, and like this allowing us to develop an accurate portrait of those retail days. The objectives of the current study is to identify the GLA distribution in the panel of the evaluated cities (as in comparison to the Activ Property Services - APS study) and starting from here to illustrate the existing retail agglomeration in those 24 major cities of Romania. The work behind the proposed paper implied a market research using personal expertise for this field, internet resources, retail magazines, specialised retail agency studies so that to be able to point out, as accurately as possible, all relevant information related to the retail field of activity. Among the conclusions that this study provides, starting with the analysis of the existing shopping centre stock (in the major cities of Romania) and comparing these results with those from the research conducted by APS, in 2017, we find out that more than 77% of the entire GLA of this retail sector is located in those 24 major cities analysed in the current study.
Fine Arts: 1. Art During the Transition Period Between Paleolithic and Neolithicon the Territory of Romania
Authors: Olaru Ioana-Iulia
Published: March 2018

This material refers to one of the many transition periods from the History of Art on the territory of Romania - that is the period which separates Paleolithic from Neolithic: Epi-Paleolithic, with its endcalled (and accepted, first of all!) by some researchers: Mesolithic. As we will see, we will refer to the art of this moment of great complexity and diversity. From an artistic pointof view, Epi-Paleolithic already has tools which can be placed in the category of technical beauty, as far as form is concerned, precision becomes more and more important,and also the skillfulness of their production and the delicate, refined finishing; also connected to the artistic side of the period, the interest for beauty for creating geometrical-abstract decorations increases, obviously becoming a coherent ornamental motif. In the final phase of Epi-Paleolithic, the Mesolithic period comes with an art which is different from the one of the culture Schela Cladovei, characterized by ornaments with simple geometrical motifs, liniar incisions, oblique or in a network, this geometry leading to the main compositional textures of decoration of the oldest phase of the future Neolithic culture Criș.
Education: 10. Implementation of Formative – Innovative Praxeology in Artistic Education: The Topical Desideratum
Authors: Bularga Tatiana
Published: March 2018

Modern education, especially the artistic one, has a stringent need of an innovative praxeology, which, unlike the receptive praxeology, does not take over the rough theoretical and methodological approaches, but obliges the practitioner to gather from the available sources only the ideas of perceived essences, so that later to come before pupils with new actional options. Such a praxeology becomes more than just a practical act, because it puts the teacher in the role of interim manager function between theory and practice. In this hypostasis, the practitioner fully corresponds to praxeologic rigors, which are reduced to the specifics of the logistic design and achievement of artistic action.
Education: 11. Artistic Education, A Promoter for the Development of School Creativity from the Intercultural Perspective
Authors: Paşca Eugenia Maria
Published: March 2018

The main aims of artistic education are almost similar in all European countries. Almost all countries mention “artistic skills, knowledge and understanding”, “critical appreciation”, “cultural heritage”, “individual expression/identity”, “cultural diversity” and “creativity” as objectives. However, “arts and permanent learning/interest” are mentioned only in 15 curricula. The various initiatives and recommendations for the development of artistic and cultural education in European countries are based on information on the establishment of national organizations and networks to promote artistic education and the development of partnerships between schools, artistic/cultural organizations and artists. Cultural identity as well as the development of creativity are a priority through such approaches.
A Strut Finite Element for Exact Incompressible Isotropic Hyperelastic Analysis
Authors: Arcaro Vinicius F. , Ferrazzo Pietro C.
Published: March 2018

This text describes a mathematical model of a strut finite element for isotropic incompressible hyperelastic materials. The invariants of the Right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor are written in terms of nodal displacements. The equilibrium problem is formulated as an unconstrained nonlinear programming problem, where the objective function is the total potential energy of the structure and the nodal displacements are the unknowns. The constraint for incompressibility is satisfied exactly, thereby eliminating the need for a penalty function. The results of the examples calculated by the proposed mathematical model show five significant digits in agreement when compared with commercial finite element analysis software.
Extending the Service Life of Pavements
Authors: Gschwendt Ivan
Published: March 2018

The cost of road construction and expenditures on the maintenance of pavements, i.e., their whole life cost, represents a lot of money. The paper describes a procedure for a pavement management system with degradation models and estimates the length of time for the rehabilitation of an asphalt pavement. Using a theory of pavement mechanics, we calculated the stresses and strains on the layers of two pavement models. High modulus asphalt concrete, an asphalt mix with a high binder content, and an asphalt mix with binder modifications are new road building materials. Prolonging the time for the rehabilitation of pavements is possible.

Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to associate sitting time with major diseases affecting octogenarians. This observational cross-sectional study involved 351 octogenarians, being 323 women and 28 men, with a mean age of 84.1 (SD = 3.9). Sociodemographic data, health conditions and responses to Section 5 of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were entered into a diagnostic program in order to determine the weekly time spent sitting down. Descriptive (single frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney U test and binary logistic regression) were used. The data were examined at a 5% significance level. The most frequent diseases in the octogenarians were high blood pressure (60.1%), heart diseases (26.5%), diabetes (21.9%), dyslipidemia (21.7%), osteoporosis (18.5%), and osteoarthritis (14.5%). The longer they spent sitting down, the greater the risk of developing diabetes (OR = 4.5, 95% CI 2.5 to 8.2) and dyslipidemia (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.6 to 5.0). A sitting time of more than 1,710 minutes per week can predict the occurrence of diabetes (p = 0.002), while sitting for more than 1,380 minutes per week can predict the occurrence of dyslipidemia (p = 0.002). Sitting time was found to be a risk factor for the occurrence of diabetes and dyslipidemia in the studied octogenarians. Chronic diseases were associated with sedentary behavior.
EFEITO DO NÚMERO DE JOGADORES NA FREQUÊNCIA E DISTRIBUIÇÃO DOS FUNDAMENTOS TÉCNICOS EM JOGOS REDUZIDOS NA INICIAÇÃO AO FUTEBOL
Authors: Néia Neto Nelson Lourena , Santos Rodrigo dos , Duenha Naiara de Oliveira
Published: March 2018

Passe, domínio, drible, condução e finalização são considerados fundamentos técnicos do jogo de futebol que devem ser desenvolvidos, preferencialmente, a partir de atividades-jogo na iniciação. Nesse sentido, entre as principais estratégias propostas está a modificação do número de jogadores para um determinado tamanho de campo. Contudo, apesar da coerência e da riqueza das proposições teóricas a respeito do ensino do futebol, são escassos os estudos científicos que subsidiam a prática pedagógica de professores e treinadores. Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o efeito do número de jogadores na frequência e distribuição de exercitação dos fundamentos técnicos em crianças de 8 a 11 anos de escolinha de futebol. Participaram do estudo 21 jogadores de uma escolinha de futebol e futsal do Paraná. Os jogos analisados foram 3vs3 + goleiros e 4vs4 + goleiros. A análise das ações técnicas foi realizada por 3 avaliadores treinados e baseada em critérios. Os jogos foram gravados em câmera digital e posteriormente analisados em vídeo. Os principais resultados demonstram que o jogo 3vs3 + goleiros proporcionou maior frequência de exercitação dos fundamentos técnicos comparada a situação de 4vs4 + goleiros. Estes dados confirmam que a atividade de jogo 3vs3 representa uma estratégia de ensino mais eficaz para proporcionar uma sobrecarga técnica sobre os jogadores. Contudo, em ambas as situações de treino, foram verificadas grandes diferenças na distribuição de exercitação entre os jogadores. Desta forma, independente da atividade de treino realizada, os dados apontam para a necessidade do treinador intervir propondo modificações nas atividades realizadas para proporcionar oportunidades mais semelhantes de exercitação entre os jogadores.

Published: March 2018

Plantas Medicinais são utilizadas desde a antiguidade para tratar uma série de doenças desempenhando um papel fundamental na saúde mundial. O uso da fitoterapia é muitas vezes o único recurso terapêutico de algumas comunidades. A Organização Mundial da Saúde reconhece a fitoterapia como uma alternativa de tratamento viável com baixo custo e recomenda o levantamento, identificação, estímulo e orientação do uso das plantas medicinais que possuem eficácia e segurança terapêutica comprovada. Nos últimos anos, os fitoterápicos ganharam espaço importante na reparação de tecidos, obtendo a partir deles formulações que agem no tratamento das feridas. O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar pesquisas envolvendo plantas medicinais e seu poder cicatrizante. Foram utilizados dados de bases online, dos últimos dez anos, utilizando como descritores: “feridas, cicatrização, plantas medicinais”. Foram analisados os nomes científico e popular das plantas, a parte da planta que foi utilizada para os experimentos, tipo de extração e utilização, classes das substâncias e efeito na cicatrização. As plantas pesquisadas foram: Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. (Babosa), Coronopu didymus (Mastruz), Tabebuia avellanedae (Ipê roxo), Arnica Montana L. (Arnica), Orbignya phalerata (Babaçu), Stryphnodendron adstringens Martius (Barbatimão), Caesalpinia ferrea Martius (Jucá), Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (Erva de Santa Maria), Triticum vulgare (Trigo), Tabernaemontana catharinensis (Jasmim), Calendula officinalis (Calêndula) e Helianthus annus (Girassol), Catharanthus roseus L. (Vinca Rosea) e Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Aroeira). Assim, pode-se observar que todas as plantas estudadas no artigo favoreceram o processo de cicatrização por meio de diferentes atividades, e que essas atividades estão relacionadas com as diversas classes de metabólitos.

Political Decentralization and Party Decay in Latin America
Authors: Morgan Jana
Published: March 2018

Early advocates of decentralization lauded it as a strategy for strengthening democratic institutions, but later scholarship has emphasized decentralization’s negative consequences, especially for political parties. This article argues that the impact of political decentralization on established parties is shaped by the context in which the reforms occur, with poor economic performance and limited programmatic differentiation making parties more vulnerable to the challenges posed by decentralization. The article explores how decentralization under such circumstances has contributed to party decay in Latin America, where declining support for established parties has been significant, in some places undermining democratic stability and governability. The article employs cross-national time-series analysis and case studies. The quantitative evidence indicates that political decentralization weakens existing parties in contexts of poor economic conditions and little ideological differentiation in the party system. Case studies elaborate the processes through which decentralizing reforms together with economic conditions and party linkages affect party systems.
Fighting Past Economic Wars: Crisis and Austerity in Latin America
Authors: Kaplan Stephen Brett
Published: March 2018

Political economy theory expects that changes in macroeconomic governance are often catalyzed by institutional factors, such as partisanship, elections, or International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditionality. I challenge and contextualize this view by incorporating the role of technocratic advisors into a domestic policy-making framework. I contend that presidents from countries with crisis legacies are more likely to appoint mainstream economists that pursue budget discipline. Employing an originally constructed dataset, the Index of Economic Advisors, I conduct an econometric test of sixteen Latin American countries from 1961 to 2011. I find that politicians are most likely to appoint mainstream economists who embrace fiscal rectitude in countries with inflation-crisis legacies. Furthermore, these crisis legacies are enduring given the severity of inflationary trauma relative to other types of domestic economic volatility in Latin America. In fact, these effects hold when controlling for both historical and contemporaneous shocks to unemployment.
The Act of Listening to “Battered” Women: An Ethnographic Comparison of Police and Emergency Responses in São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Lorenzo Rocío Alonso , Lins Beatriz Accioly
Published: March 2018

In the context of increasing prosecution by victims of domestic violence, this article compares professionals’ responses to specific cases in two different institutional settings in São Paulo, women’s police stations and hospital emergency services. The article focuses on the first encounter of victims with policewomen and health care popular legal advocates. We take “interpretive relativism” (Geertz 1983) as a fundamental framework for comparing, ethnographically, two contrasting cognitive methods for adjudicating truth to the events narrated by the victims: the skeletonization of facts, typical of police officials, and the schematization of social action, typical of human rights practitioners. We conclude that while policewomen are ambivalent regarding women’s capacity to decide for themselves how to use the legal resources offered to them, popular legal advocates, in contrast, seek to empower women by improving their capacity to make well-informed decisions.
Performance Analysis of SPSK with Dual Polarized Transmit Antennas over Rayleigh Fading Channel
Authors: Subramani Malarvizhi , Neduncheran Arumbu Vanmathi , Ponnusamy Vijayakumar
Published: March 2018

In this paper, the Space Polarization Shift Keying (SPSK) system, which is an extended version of Space Shift Keying (SSK) and includes both space and polarization dimensions with dual polarized antennas, is studied. The capacity and error probability analysis of SPSK for different polarization configurations are dealt with over the Rayleigh fading channel with a rich scattering environment. The analysis conducted shows that the SPSK with a dual polarized antenna (DP) offers better results than SPSK with a single orthogonal polarized antenna SPSK(SP), under non-LOS conditions. SPSK(DP) outperforms SSK by 4.2 dB over the correlated Rayleigh fading channel at 3 bits/s/Hz.
Call-level Analysis of a Two-Link Multirate Loss Model based on a Convolution Algorithm
Authors: Sagkriotis Stefanos G. , Pantelis Spyros K. , Moscholios Ioannis D. , Vassilakis Vassilios G.
Published: March 2018

We consider a two-link system that accommodates Poisson arriving calls from different service-classes and propose a multirate teletraffic loss model for its analysis. Each link has two thresholds, which refer to the number of in-service calls in the link. The lowest threshold, named support threshold, defines up to which point the link can support calls offloaded from the other link. The highest threshold, named offloading threshold, defines the point where the link starts offloading calls to the other link. The adopted bandwidth sharing policy is the complete sharing policy, in which a call can be accepted in a link if there exist enough available bandwidth units. The model does not have a product form solution for the steady state probabilities. However, we propose approximate formulas, based on a convolution algorithm, for the calculation of call blocking probabilities. The accuracy of the formulas is verified through simulation and found to be quite satisfactory.
A NORMA FUNDAMENTAL HIPOTÉTICA DE KELSEN E ANTINOMIA EM RELAÇÃO ÀS CARTAS CONSTITUCIONAIS DEMOCRÁTICAS, COM DESTAQUE À CARTA DEMOCRÁTICA BRASILEIRA DE 1988
Authors: Martins Paulo Henrique , Siqueira Dirceu Pereira
Published: March 2018

Objetiva-se, neste trabalho, demonstrar que a teoria de Kelsen, quanto à compreensão de norma fundamental hipotética, destoa com a Constituição Federal de 1988, porque não se pode mais combatibilizar o “elemento revolucionário” como única forma de se buscar o fundamento de validade da norma constitucional escrita. Enfatiza-se os conceitos de direito, ordenamento, supremacia constitucional e a atual fase do constitucionalismo contemporâneo e os valores humanos conquistados a partir da Segunda Guerra Mundial, valores que esbarram em antinomia, por exemplo, se comparados com o parâmetro de norma fundamental hipotética brasileira, que decorreu do Golpe Militar de 1964 e o AI 05.
OBJEÇÕES À CONSTITUIÇÃO AMERICANA DE 1787: AS PERSPECTIVAS DOS ANTIFEDERALISTAS NO CONTEXTO DO SURGIMENTO DA NOVA ORDEM CONSTITUCIONAL DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS
Authors: Ramos Paulo Roberto , Pinheiro Analissa Barros
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo analisa as ideias antifederalistas no contexto da ratificação da Constituição Americana de 1787. Tais concepções contrapunham-se às propostas dos Federalistas, considerando o conceito de república, a ideia de centralização do poder, direitos e liberdades individuais, assim como a representação política dos eleitores. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho faz considerações sobre o contexto do embate travado entre Federalistas e antifederalistas, ressaltando, em especial os ideais antifederalistas no que tange à implantação do novo modelo institucional norte-americano. Por fim, faz uma reflexão sobre o legado dos antifederalistas.
O DNA DOS CURSOS DE DIREITO NO BRASIL: DE COIMBRA A OLINDA (RECIFE) E SÃO PAULO
Authors: Tagliavini João Virgílio
Published: March 2018

Esse artigo, fruto da pesquisa de pós-doutorado na Faculdade de Direito de Recife e de Coimbra, procurou pelo DNA dos cursos de direito no Brasil, objetivando compreender a atual realidade de ensino. O texto mostra a influência coimbrã que, por meio da filosofia escolástica difundida na educação durante tempos pelos jesuítas, produziu um ensino do direito abstrato e essencialista, distante da realidade histórica e material. Pela ausência de formação específica para a docência, aponta-se como hipótese que os professores dos cursos de direito no Brasil reproduziram, por imitação, um modelo de ensino transplantado de Coimbra para Olinda e São Paulo.
REVOLUÇÃO FRANCESA E RESTAURAÇÃO: NOTAS SOBRE OS MODELOS CONSTITUCIONAIS ADOTADOS NOS PAÍSES DO PRATA E NO BRASIL NO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Filipin Vinícius , Taborda Maren Guimarães
Published: March 2018

O presente ensaio procura compreender os modelos constitucionais surgidos da Revolução Francesa, e a sua difusão no Brasil e nos países do Rio da Prata, em um contexto de recepção. O método escolhido foi o histórico-jurídico, uma vez que compreende e explica os elementos básicos dos modelos constitucionais adotados na experiência européia, e a sua influência na realidade da América do Sul. O viés é a tese da separação dos poderes, e, como resultado, analisam-se as condições nas quais foram adotados o modelo republicano federativo na Argentina e Uruguai, e o da monarquia constitucional, no Brasil.

A SOCIEDADE INTERNACIONAL ATUAL E O COSMOPOLITISMO: EM DEFESA DA CONCRETIZAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS E DE UMA ORDEM MUNDIAL MAIS JUSTA E SOLIDÁRIA
Authors: Bedin Gilmar Antonio , Pedron Leves Aline Michele
Published: March 2018

Este artigo pressupõe a análise do cosmopolitismo enquanto uma possibilidade no panorama transfronteiriço da modernidade reflexiva. O retorno à história do processo civilizatório demonstra que a sociedade internacional foi palco de profundas transformações que a tornaram mais complexa e menos centrada nos Estados soberanos. Notadamente, com o fenômeno da globalização, verificou-se o deslocamento do velho sistema westfaliano para um conjunto internacional de arranjos bifurcados, assentado em uma sociedade multicêntrica e interdependente. Portanto, as possibilidades do cosmopolitismo para a concretização dos direitos humanos deixaram de ser uma simples ideia da razão, para emigrar dos sonhos filosóficos à realidade pura e simples.

Authors: Bolwerk Aloísio Alencar , Lopes Ribeiro Graziele Cristina
Published: March 2018

O presente trabalho analisa a possibilidade de atribuir maior funcionalidade aos bens públicos, especificamente no tocante aos bens públicos dominicais. Aborda-se a possibilidade de usucapião sobre propriedade públicas sem destinação, à luz da função social da propriedade. Assim analisa-se a relação existente entre o absolutismo constitucional que constitui a propriedade pública como intocável e o caráter social da função da propriedade. Conclui-se pela necessidade de uma releitura na concepção clássica da supremacia do interesse público sobre o particular para alargar a valoração da função social da propriedade garantindo-lhe maior efetividade e eficácia.

Strategi atau teknik yang biasanya digunakan oleh guru dalam mengajar cenderung bersifat konvensional, yaitu setelah mengajarkan melafalkan kosakata secara berulang-ulang (drills), guru menjelaskan kosakata bahasa Inggris dengan menerjemahkan, yaitu memberikan padanannya dalam bahasa ibu (bahasa Indonesia). Pemanfaatan bahasa pertama (L1) bila dilakukan terlalu sering, bahkan mendominasi tidak baik atau tidak membantu siswa menguasai bahasa yang dipelajari. Oleh karena itu, guru hendaknya dapat menjadi model bahasa target dengan baik, yakni lebih banyak menggunakan bahasa Inggris di dalam kelas. Penelitian ini untuk membantu para guru, utamanya yang tidak berlatar belakang kependidikan bahasa Inggris agar dapat meningkatkan kualitas bahasa Inggris yang digunakan di dalam kelas melalui pelatihan penggunaan bahasa kelas (classroom language). Penelitian bagi para guru di TK Limo Depok, ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh deskripsi tentang penggunaan instruksi bahasa Inggris dalam pembelajaran yang interaktif dan berbagai sumber belajar oleh para guru di dalam kelas. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui pelatihan bagi para guru, antara lain dengan adanya kegiatan workshop.

La luz es un factor ambiental muy influyente en la calidad de vida y el rendimiento de las personas. Por esta razón es necesario crear e implementar tecnologías que ayuden a mantener ambientes sanos, en términos de iluminación, para los usuarios. Si a esto sumamos la gran cantidad de energía eléctrica que se desperdicia por malos hábitos de consumo y por el uso de dispositivos anticuados e ineficientes, resulta evidente la importancia del presente trabajo, el cual propone el diseño de una lámpara compacta y versátil que reemplace fácilmente a los focos tradicionales con ventajas como un control automático para el encendido y apagado en función del movimiento registrado en la habitación, un control automático de nivel de iluminación para mantener niveles óptimos en todo momento y regulación del tono de la luz de acuerdo a la habitación y a la hora del día. Para lograr lo anteriormente mencionado se utilizó tecnología LED, un microcontrolador y sensores que junto con técnicas de control gobiernan el comportamiento de la lámpara. Se establecieron varios parámetros de funcionamiento como nivel de iluminación y tono de la luz emitida los cuales se cumplieron dentro de ciertas condiciones operativas.

Performance of Ceriporiopsis sp. in the Treatment of Black Liquor Wastewater
Authors: Sari Ajeng Arum
Published: March 2018

High amounts of black liquor wastewater are generated from bioethanol production by using oil palm empty fruit bunches. It contains an alkaline solution (NaOH), so it is quite toxic for aquatic ecosystems if discharged directly into waters. Black liquor has been treated by coagulation method, and it still needs additional treatment. This study aimed to determine degradation of black liquor wastewater by selected white-rot fungi (WRF). Five different strains of WRF have been tested for their ability to decolorize black liquor on agar and liquid media. Out of five fungi studied, two fungi, Ceriporiopsis sp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, showed the capacity to grow more than 50% on agar medium. In liquid medium, the percentage of decolorization of 15,000 ppm coagulated and diluted black liquor ranged from 70 to 89% at 30 days depending on the fungal strain. Ceriporiopsis sp. showed the better ability to decolorize black liquor than P. chrysosporium. The performance of Ceriporiopsis sp was evaluated regarding decolorization of black liquor, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and mycelial dry weight both in coagulated black liquor and original black liquor. The color of original and coagulated black liquor can be decolorized up to 90.13 and 86.85%, respectively. COD in original and coagulated black liquor was reduced up to 70.17 and 40.09%, respectively. The presence of coagulant Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) inhibited degradation of black liquor by fungus. The result demonstrated that Ceriporiopsis sp has a potential alternative to treat black liquor wastewater.
