An introductory overview of bimodal fitting
Authors: Hasanalifard Mahdieh , Lotfi Younes , Moossavi Abdollah
Published: February 2021

Background and Aim: In a bimodal fitting, one ear is stimulated acoustically with a hearing aid and the other is stimulated electrically with a cochlear implant. This paper provides a brief summary of the concept of bimodal fitting, binaural hearing and its importance, the hearing benefits of binaural hearing in bimodal fitting, candidacy and hearing aid adjustment in bimodal fitting cases.
Recent Findings: Researches have shown that bimodal fitting offers a wide range of hearing benefits over unilateral cochlear implants, such as better speech perception in noise, better musical perception, and a better understanding of pitch and tone perception and naturalness of sound perception.
Conclusion: Considering the binaural hearing advantages in bimodal fitting users, it can be concluded that users of unilateral cochlear implants who have measurable residual hearing in their non-implanted ear can use a hearing aid in that ear and enjoy binaural hearing advantages. The hearing aid should be fitted in a way to complement the information obtained through cochlear implantation.
Keywords: Bimodal fitting; cochlear implant; binaural hearing

Georges Perec’s Novel “W, Ou Le Souvenir D’enfance” as Autofiction
Authors: Kirichenko Vladislav V.
Published: February 2021

This article attempts to define the complex relationship of truth and fiction in the autobiographical context of Georges Perec’s novel W, or the Memory of Childhood (1975). Georges Perec is a classic of French literature who immigrated as a Polish Jew, whose family suffered the horrors of the Second World War. In France, his literary heritage remains relevant to scholars, although many works are already devoted to him, but in Russia he is still little known and poorly understood. Within his most famous novel W, or the Memory of Childhood Perec presents two stories that are intertwined in a special way: autobiographical and fictional. The purpose of this article is to establish not just textual differences between two stories that have deceptive paratextual boundaries, but to establish how the factual and fictional mutation occurs in Perec’s autobiographical text, often referred to by researchers as autofiction. Autofiction is applied to almost all French literature of 60-70s as a certain literary tendency of comprehending and aesthetization of infraordinary life. Thus, the study of autofiction in Perec’s works allows us to better understand not only his poetics, but also the typical features of the literature of that time period. The author of the article considers the genre features of the work, its structure, the essence of various narrators. The article concludes that the writer has a complex perception of the relationship between truth or fact and fiction, expressed in the form of autofiction, not because of the desire to play with the reader, but because of the game with its own memory, which reveals the real indistinguishability of some memories as false or true.
Axiological Potential of Publicistic Text in Teaching the Russian Language
Authors: Levushkina Olga N. , Shelyapina Irina I.
Published: February 2021

The authors, based on the processes of implementation of the axiological approach in modern education, introduce the concept of axiological potential of a publicistic text into methodological circulation and justify it. This concept allows us to combine the cognitive orientation of the process of teaching the Russian language, understanding the text and its orientation to the formation of the spiritual and value sphere of the students’ personality. The article deals with the content elements and properties of publicistic text that make it possible to contain an axiological potential.

Biblical Text in Edward Albee’s Play “Delicate Balance”
Authors: Zinovieva Regina V.
Published: February 2021

The author explores the Bible motifs in Edward Albee’s play «A Delicate Balance». Over the past few decades the theme of religiosity in literature has acquired special significance in connection with the rethinking of Christian values in the postmodernism. Edward Albee’s play «A Delicate Balance» defined in many ways the Christian theme in the work of American playwright which contradicted the established opinion of domestic literary critics about the incompatibility of Albee’s plays with the ideas of Christianity. The author conducts a conceptual analysis of the New Testament and Old Testament plots (the parable of the Good Samaritan and the story of Tobias from the Book of Tobit) and their interpretation in the drama. The author focuses on the intertextuality of the postmodern text: its cento form (allusions, parodies, paraphrases), the features of presence of the biblical text in the text of the play. Consequently, the article shows the distorted representation of the idea of brotherly love on the example of the interpretation of the parable about the Good Samaritan and the story about Toby. It is underlined that Edward Albee’s work is a continuation of the tradition established in American literature, including didactic and prophetic (messianic) principles.

Genre Creation and Genre Formation
Authors: Akhmadulin Evgeny V.
Published: February 2021

The article focuses on the topic of genre formation in Soviet journalism, and how genres have developed in the contemporary Russian mass media. The author is of the view that journalistic genres developed intuitively, rather than on the basis of a thorough investigation of the typology of mass media texts, and therefore bear all the hallmarks of a professional agreement. These practical, formally logical standards have no basis in scholarship, and as a result many publications dealing with questions of journalistic genres have no connection with the theory of journalism. They merely serve the «commonly accepted professional view» of the form that texts should take. This explains why there is continual discussion of the interaction, diffusion, mimicry and changes in the «identified genres» in a situation where there are no grounds for distinguishing between them, or fixed criteria for defining them. Introducing American forms of journalistic texts into the Russian genre system leads to an even greater entropy of established concepts. Concentrating on the study of the genre forms of journalistic texts in journalism education often hinders students in the acquisition of the habit of writing materials on specific thematic issues.
Mnemotoponymic Phraseological Units of the French Language
Authors: Skorobogatova Taisiya I. , Manaenko Elena A.
Published: February 2021

The article considers mnemotoponymic phraseological units of the modern French language, i.e. the phraseological units which include topocomponents which not only are used for geographical objects naming but also have apparent cultural-historical or socio-economic associations performing memorial function. The term mnemotoponym (Greek mnêmê - “memory”) is suggested for their core component naming. Mnemotoponyms within French phraseological units are subdivided according to their origin into autochthonous (e.g. l’enfer de Verdun, ça tombait comme à Gravelotte) and allochthonous (un procès de Moscou, aller à Baden-Baden). It is also suggested to classify mnemotoponymic phraseological units by their event indication, i.e. those events captured by historical memory in the metaphorical core of a certain phraseological unit. Those may be glorious military victories and inglorious defeats, large-scale disasters, major and minor events in the history of France and the whole world: soldats de Valmy, le soleil d’Austerlitz, c’est la Bérézina, soûl comme toute la Pologne, souvienstoi du vase de Soissons, le débarquement de Normandie, partir à Tataouine, Paris brûle-t-il? etc. The aim of the article is to estimate the layer of these phraseological units and demonstrate the possibility of their classification, present their potential in terms of historical memory manifestation and translation through the French phraseological fund.

El Desequilibrio en la pareja: la codependencia desde la teoría de interdependencia
Authors: Salcedo Callado Pablo Tonathiu , Rivera Aragón Sofía , Domínguez Espinosa Alejandra del Carmen , Díaz Loving Rolando
Published: February 2021

La codependencia se estudia tradicionalmente como rasgo de personalidad, sin embargo, existen sugerencias sobre su posible explicación desde modelos más sociales. Usando el modelo de interdependencia se propone su predicción a través del manejo del conflicto y los estilos de poder. Para ello, participaron 571 adultos (M = 20.20 años, DE = 1.93) quienes respondieron escalas de manejo del conflicto, estilos de poder y codependencia. Se encontró evidencia a favor del modelo de interdependencia ya que el manejo del conflicto no colaborador en la pareja, y la acomodación y evitación en el codependiente, en conjunto con estilos de poder negativos, son predictores de la codependencia. Se discute la aplicabilidad de la teoría de interdependencia como modelo para explicar la codependencia, así como los beneficios para el entendimiento del inicio y mantenimiento de los patrones codependientes.

Authors: Ruiz Esteban Cecilia , González García Inmaculada
Published: February 2021

Pese al papel fundamental que la reforma educativa española otorga a la Formación Profesional se desconoce si la percepción de la sociedad ha mejorado. Para poder intentar mejorar la imagen social de la Formación Profesional debemos conocerla. Aunque la investigación es escasa, existen algunos estudios que destacan la valoración positiva que la sociedad le otorga a la vinculación entre formación y empresa de este tipo de educación. En este sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es valorar la percepción de los estudiantes de Formación Profesional sobre las expectativas de futuro que les ofrece esta etapa formativa. Los participantes fueron 181 estudiantes de Formación Profesional de la Especialidad de Hostelería y Turismo (41.7% fueron varones). Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Perspectivas de Futuro de Husman y Shell (2008) y un cuestionario creado ad hoc para recoger los datos sociodemográficos. Se realizaron pruebas t de Student para analizar las diferencias de medias entre distintas variables sociodemográficas en las cuatro dimensiones del cuestionario. No encontramos diferencias significativas en ninguna de las variables estudiadas. En la prueba Chi Cuadrado se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre aquellos que tienen estudios superiores finalizados frente a los que no en lo referente a estar trabajando en el sector. Por tanto, se debe seguir potenciando la imagen social de esta etapa ya que los empleadores prefieren dar trabajo a licenciados universitarios con estudios de Formación Profesional que a aquellos que solo tienen estos últimos estudios.

Purpose: based on the analysis of the official statistics of the Federal State Institution “GIAC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia” (information on the state of crime and the results of the investigation of crimes for the period 2015-2019; on crimes related to the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors or analogues, potent substances, plants (or their parts) containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors, new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances, and the persons who committed them; on the state of crime in the air transport of the Russian Federation; summary report on the state of crime in transport) to assess the state and trends of drug-related crime at transport infrastructure facilities. Methodology: fundamental provisions of national criminology, a set of general scientific and specific scientific research methods. Conclusions: drug trafficking at transport infrastructure facilities is one of the main threats to Russia’s transport security. The decrease in the number of registered crimes in the sphere of illegal drug trafficking recorded in 2019 and the number of persons who committed them, both in Russia as a whole and at transport infrastructure facilities, is primarily due to the effectiveness of preventive activities. Scientific and practical significance: the results of the study presented in this article contribute to expanding the scope of criminological knowledge about the current state and trends of drug-related crime at transport infrastructure facilities, justifying the development of more effective preventive measures (scientific significance); will allow the subjects of preventive activity to timely identify new criminal threats in transport, determine priority areas of prevention and optimize management decisions.
A Criminological Analysis of the Correlation Between the Dynamics of the Afghan Opium Expansion and the Heroin Abuse Situation in Russia
Authors:   Professor of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology of the Siberian Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation LL.D., Associate Professor (Krasnoyarsk), Teplyashin Pavel V.
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the work is to establish criminologically significant information about the relationship between the dynamics of opium expansion of Afghan origin and the heroin drug situation in Russia. The methodological basis is the method of SWOT analysis and four-element strategic PEST analysis (Policy — policy, Economy — economy, Society — society, Technology — technology), implemented to identify and study the political, economic, socio-cultural and technological aspects of the development of the object under study. Consideration of the correlation relationship led to the conclusion that active international, cross-border and interagency cooperation reduces the “heroin pressure” on the Russian Federation along the «northern route» of drug trafficking. This interaction serves as a point-by-point combination of political efforts to normalize the opium drug situation in the Central Asian region. In turn, the growing popularity of synthetic drugs reduces the demand for plant-based opium drugs. The consequences of the transformation of drug trafficking routing are noted. It was found that the increased risks of detaining drug traffickers and the overall unprofitability of the contact method of distributing heroin led to the widespread use of international mail channels, mobile communications and electronic communications. The practical significance of structuring the correlation under consideration through four aspects makes it possible to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the domestic mechanism for combating illicit trafficking in opium drugs.

The article discusses topical issues and features of the unification of inheritance law in the international private law. The beginning of unification processes is associated with the presence of various approaches to the settlement of hereditary relations complicated by a foreign element in various legal systems. The article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of such a phenomenon as a complication of hereditary legal relations of foreign a new subject. To solve certain conflict of laws in the field of inheritance law, in particular, by will, the main international acts are followed. The authors aim to study the unification processes in the field of inheritance law in the international private law, which reflect modern development trends in a theoretical sense. In conclusion, the authors come to the conclusion that the legislation of a number of states is trying to protect the rights of weak parties in a potentially equal legal relationship. In this case, we are talking about the corresponding legislative consolidation general principle of law— the use of favorable law for the weak side of the legal relationshipHowever, the possibility of unification approaches of states to solving the issue of post-mortem rights can be defined not even as a trend, but as a be separately considered within the framework of international organizations dealing with issues of unification of inheritance law.

Evaluation in EFL written stories
Authors: Badio Janusz
Published: February 2021

The structure of oral narratives, as studied by Labov & Waletzky (1967) involves an abstract, orientation, complicating action, resolution, evaluation and coda. Narratives are presented on TV and radio news, newspapers as well as in everyday conversations (Ervin-Tripp & Küntay, 1997), also during children’s dramatic play (Ervin-Tripp & Küntay, 1997), jokes (Badio, 2020), stories as rehearsal for action (Kiełkiewicz-Janowiak, 2015), stories as background of the meaning of lexical items, e.g. dirty money (Filar, 2015), advertisements and in a great number of other contexts. The different components of narratives as listed by Labov & Waletzky (1967) include the complex category of evaluation. Characterisation and discussion of this unit of narrative constitutes the goal of the present article.
Ranking for cognitive salience of events and coding them into a sentence format
Authors: Badio Janusz
Published: February 2021

This article discusses the use of different syntactic options in the construal of events. The examples selected for presentation and analysis come from a study by Badio (2014). This work understood construal to be non-linguistic, mental or conceptual, i.e. related to thought, whereas the term coding was reserved for the use of form to signal aspects of a conceptualisation. The present work focuses on demonstrating that if they are prominent, events tend to be coded with finite verb forms (of the superordinate) clause, followed by participial and infinitive constructions. The former contain the full processual profiles when they are used to relate the main participants, the subject and object. Infinitives and participles tend to be less cognitively salient, whereas nominalisations and other non-verbal options background the processual profile of an event. As a consequence, events coded with them are less salient within a clause or a sentence.
Insights on the nature of language from the study of gesture units
Authors: Cienki Alan
Published: February 2021

Gesture categories and gesture units are characterized according to both formal and functional criteria. The resultant functional types fall along a continuum according to the degree to which their tokens have conventionalized symbolic status. The more conventional the form/meaning pairing, the more straightforward it is to identify gestures as units. Most types of gesture categories are best viewed as having prototype structures, rather than a category structure with strict boundaries. This view on gesture aligns with some contemporary thinking about linguistic categories, which also espouses a prototype approach. The result is a coherent picture of how gesture interactions with different categories and units of spoken language, taking human audio-visual communication as dynamic and polysemiotic in nature.
Perception and the nature of the phoneme
Authors: Callender Craig
Published: February 2021

Traditional interpretations of the phoneme have viewed it either in terms of physical properties (Jones, 1944b), psychological reality (Sapir, 1933, cf. Jaeger, 1980), or function, typically to serve in opposition to other phonemes within a phonological system (Saussure, 1915, Trubetzkoy 1939, Penzl, 1971). More recently, some phonologists have questioned the value of phonemes to phonological description in a post-generative world (Goldsmith, 1999). I argue that Sapir and Trubetzkoy’s ideas about the psychological reality of phonemes and the role of contrastive oppositions in sound systems are as relevant as ever, a claim justified by research in phonetics, which has demonstrated the importance of perception in some types of phonological change (Ohala, 1993, cf. Kuhl, 1991 and Sendlmeier, 2000). This chapter considers four examples of phonological contrast and change that may have been rooted in perception. First, fortis/lenis and geminate/singleton contrasts may constitute phonological oppositions when their members are perceived as different (Lisker, 1957, cf. Penzl, 1974). Second, perceptual ambiguity may have played a role in the lack of affricates post-vocalically for old short stops in Old High German texts (Callender, 2017). Third, perception may be relevant to understanding the English Great Vowel Shift. Liberman (1995) argued that the GVS had no beginning, in that there was always some degree of allophonic variation in vowels. To extend his analysis, I argue that it is the perception of new vowels that may have triggered the shift. Finally, I suggest that perceptual salience may be responsible for the maintenance of /ai/ before voiceless consonants in southern US English, where it is often monophthongized in other phonological environments. As each of the changes discussed is rooted in the perception of new sounds, phonological oppositions and psychological reality remain relevant to our understanding of phonemes.
Form and meaning in cognitive morphology
Authors: Kardela Henryk
Published: February 2021

The paper applies Ronald Langacker’s conception of Baseline/Elaboration (B/E-organisation) to derivative morphology. It is claimed that the B/E approach to linguistic structure, according to which “structure and function are indissociable like the two sides of a coin” (Langacker, 2016, p. 24), offers a viable, theoretically interesting account of the dynamic relationship between the form and meaning of morphological units.
The categories of grammar in resource-books of English for advanced learners
Authors: Richterová Jana
Published: February 2021

The courses of morphology and syntax of the English language as linguistic disciplines studied at university level elaborate on a systematic description of the language, logically categorising the individual items of the language system. In doing so, the traditional structural terminology is employed, describing the phenomena such as complex verb phrases which may comprise modal exponents, i.e. epistemic and deontic modality, progressive and perfective aspects or the category of active vs. passive voice. As in any scientific field, the language used should provide clarity and precision and ambiguities should be avoided. In the field of applied linguistics, however, the requirement of precision in the description of the language categories seems impossible to comply with. This paper discusses the ways the categories of English grammar are defined in standard structural linguistic resources and compares them with publications in the field of applied linguistics at advanced levels. It also contrasts these against the lexical approach introduced by Lewis. The aim of the paper is to highlight the presumed discrepancies between the aforementioned types of resources and help to facilitate the ELT in the field of presenting English grammar.
Categorization of directional motion verbs
Authors: Waliński Jacek
Published: February 2021

This study presents a proposal of categorization of directional motion verbs, i.e. ones whose lexical semantics specifies a direction of motion, even without an overt directional complementation. The categorization proposed here includes (1) source/goal verbs, which are used to refer to bounded paths; (2) unbounded path verbs, which can be divided into two subgroups of upward/downward verbs and forward/backward verbs; (3) route verbs, which include cross and pass; (4) constant verbs, which again can be divided into two subgroups of chase verbs and accompany verbs; (5) deictic verbs, namely come and go, which are approached as a separate class. The proposal originates from previous studies conducted to this end in semantics, and is meant to encourage discussion on further advancement in this area of linguistic studies.
Use of stereotypical social gender roles in an L2 narrative construal task by advanced, Polish learners of English
Authors: Badio Janusz
Published: February 2021

The article presents a study of the process of comprehension of an input joke and its subsequent retelling in writing by Polish advanced students (n=36) of English as a foreign language. The research question was whether people are guided by stereotypical social gender roles and cultural schemata during comprehension and production of a joke involving events that make up a story. The joke included references to female (wife) and male (husband) participants as well as a secretary (gender not specified), names Gloria and Mike and a number of objects such as: violets, chocolates, handbag or laptop. It was predicted that the VM version of the joke (the version with the name Mike, sup-posedly male secretary) would take the participants more time to interpret as compared to the VF version (with Gloria as a most possible candidate for the secretary role). This hypothesis was indeed confirmed, but the experimental subjects did not take significantly more time to write their versions (VM and VF conditions) of the story. The qualitative analysis demonstrated variable cultural bias during the construction of the participants’ roles and relations, often against or in the absence of clear instructions in the input to do so.
The first European Games – contrasting narratives
Authors: Giessen Hans
Published: February 2021

The topic of my paper (i.e. the event I’m referring to) are the first European Games, held in June 2015 in Baku, Azerbaijan. These games, however, were not only the event that was an object of sports reporting but also reason to write and justify a narrative on the country and its political system. Interestingly, the narratives were indeed quite different, even when using the same terms. I would like to show this in a comparative study, using English language newspapers from the UK and from Ireland, as well as German language newspapers from Germany, Austria, and Luxembourg. Indeed, it seems to be the country of origin that determines how Azerbaijan’s political system is character-ized, and not so much for example the political stance (for example, whether the very paper is to be found on the right – conservative – or on the left side of the political spectre). Also, the newspaper category does not seem to be decisive, that is, whether the very paper belongs to the group of the quality press or whether it belongs to the tabloids. Even if all newspapers of my corpus focus on the same event, i.e. the Baku games, and, more so, all of them even use the same linguistic terms and concepts (like Azerbaijan being characterized as “authoritarian”), characterization differs dramatically. The differences correlate only on the paper’s country of origin, and thus seem to depend on national narratives. Even in spite of using the same vocabulary, the stories are well opposed. For example, The Irish Times used the same (English language) concepts as the Guardian, but praised the games, whilst the Guardian denounced Azerbaijan’s political system to an extent that even its reporter is banned from Azerbaijan. Similarly, German and even more so Austrian papers deplore Azerbaijan’s political system, whilst the Luxemburg press praises the system for these well-organized games.
Double-scope blending of associative and causal event structures in narratives
Authors: Stopel Bartosz
Published: February 2021

The article explores the role of Turner’s double-scope blending theory for the cognition and emotional response to narratives. I argue that narratives expected to afford aesthetic experience typically have a unified associative event structure, apart from the basic causal event structure, and that the former operates chiefly according to principles of similarity, thus being closer to metaphor than the latter. Double-scope blending seems to be essential to link narrative events associatively and then to blend this structure with the causal one, leading in effect to the complete, unified narrative. Thus, beyond its cognitive utility, it does seem to contain an important affective component which plays a role in aesthetic experience of stories.
Evaluation of Parameters in the Removal of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate Anionic Surfactant Using Electrocoagulation
Authors: Villabona-Ortíz Angel , Tejada-Tovar Candelaria , De-La-Rosa-Jiménez Lenis
Published: February 2021

The objective of the present investigation was to construct an electrocoagulation cell in a batch system and to evaluate its capacity to remove the anionic surfactant of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), which is present in gray water determining the effect of the type of electrodes (Al or Fe), distance between electrodes (1, 1.5 and 2 cm) and voltages (10, 15 and 20 V). The experimental tests were carried out for 20 min. The dimensions of the short wave electrolysis cell built in glass were 26 cm long, 7 cm wide and 12 cm high, with 10 electrodes of 12x6 cm supported by a PVC structure. The concentration of LAS in the solution was determined by employing UV-Vis spectrometry applying the Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) method. A higher removal of 65.55% was obtained when aluminum electrodes were used, and 69.11% with iron electrodes a separation of 1.5 cm and a voltage of 20 V, presenting less change in pH, conductivity, and energy consumption when using the Al3 electrode. When evaluating the effect of time at the best experimental configuration (Al, 1.5 cm, 20 V) it was established that the removal efficiency increased to 75.13% in 60 min. Electrocoagulation with aluminum electrodes is presented as an efficient alternative for the removal of LAS in solution.
Prensa, publicidad y masculinidades a través del periódico madrileño El Álbum Ibero-Americano (1890-1909)

Published: February 2021

Durante el periodo comprendido entre 1890 a 1909 la prensa jugó un papel importante en la difusión de las identidades de género. Será a través de los medios de comunicación de esta época donde se condenen, se señalen y se fomenten expresiones diferentes de masculinidad y feminidad. En esta investigación, el periódico madrileño El Álbum Ibero-Americano es la fuente principal para rastrear estas alteraciones. La metodología seguida para localizar las huellas de estos cambios, sobre todo las relacionadas con el ámbito masculino, ha sido seleccionar los artículos de opinión más sobresalientes conectados con las modificaciones en estos paradigmas de género. La información obtenida a p|artir del análisis de estos artículos se ha complementado con la localización en la sección de publicidad de este periódico, de productos vinculados con estos cambios como las Pastillas Bonald o los Polvos Coza. La conclusión de esta investigación es cómo El Álbum Ibero-Americano fue más que un medio de prensa femenina. Desde sus páginas se insistió en ofrecer alternativas masculinas para que sus lectores dejaran de lado expresiones sociales más propias de lo que desde este medio se definió como el «sexo feo» que de hombres que pretendían vivir en una sociedad abierta a la paridad entre sexos.
Lugares de resistencia y memoria: residir y resistir
Authors: Guixé Corominas Jordi
Published: February 2021

El texto reflexiona sobre tres ejes claves: la necesidad de considerar la memoria y sus espacios físicos y simbólicos como patrimonio colectivo en nuestros espacios de residencia; la necesidad y reto de transmitir y resinificar estos lugares como lugares de resistencia y como patrimonio transformador de valores actuales y contemporáneos; y la voluntad más actual de hacerlo de forma transnacional, comparada y en red. De ahí que el texto aborda una parte más reflexiva conceptual y teórica y otra parte habla de casos estudiados a modo de ejemplo sobre los debates y conflictos actuales que pueden ser modelos de trabajo y análisis. Conceptos como la memoria múltiple, las memorias nostálgicas, resistentes, incómodas e incluso conflictivas son tratados como conceptos, pero el autor los intenta vincular a casos prácticos a través de la interpretación, transmisión cultural y turística de la memoria. Metodologicamente el texto combina la reflexión teórica con los casos prácticos de análisis concretos de espacios de memoria.
“If the river comes to an end, the community comes to an end”: pedagogical dimension of environmental racism
Authors: Melo André Carneiro , Barzano Marco Antonio Leandro
Published: February 2021

This article aims to analyze the educational practices that emerge from conflict situations in which ancestry and the right to the quilombola territory are appreciated. From the narratives of the residents of the Barreiros de Itaguaçu community with regard to the conditions of retrenchment of their traditional territory, we wanted to contribute—through the production of knowledge about the environmental racism experienced by the community—with the hope of increasing its visibility in places where the different axes ofcoloniality do not allow it. Living together within the community revealed that the residents create resistance strategies to fight the process of occupation of their territory. This idea of resistance that we describe here is not limited exclusively to the defense of the territory, it also refers to the defense of the ways of survival and to the defense of the community way of life, which evinces the quilombola identity. This context of community resistance is considered as a universe of tensions and diverse problems engendered by the worldwide colonial system, based on the different faces of coloniality, from where the quilombolacommunity-produced knowledges emerge, which query other ways of appropriating nature.
Impact of Sous Vide Cooking on Nutritional Quality of Meat
Authors: Victoria Aviles María
Published: February 2021

Cooking becomes the meat more digestible, eating, and palatable. However, heat treatment can cause undesirable nutritional changes in meat, such as loss of minerals and vitamins, oxidation of lipids and changes in some segments of the protein fraction. The use of sous vide processing technology, which refers to cooking vacuum-sealed food in heat-stable plastic pouches under precisely monitored conditions, represents an interesting cooking alternative in terms of retains its natural sensory qualities of meat along with the nutritional value. In this paper, the research on the effect of sous vide cooking of meat on its nutritional quality is reviewed.
“estilo” em Câmara Jr. E Bakhtin
Authors: Costa Thaís de Araujo da
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo, à luz da História das Ideias Linguísticas na sua relação com a Análise de Discurso, propomo-nos a refletir acerca das ressonâncias produzidas pelo “efeito Saussure” (NORMAND, [2000]2004) nos quadros teóricos filiados aos nomes de dois autores recorrentemente lidos e citados no Brasil, a saber: o linguista brasileiro Mattoso Câmara Jr. e o russo Mikhail Bakhtin. Para tanto, selecionamos como materialidades a serem analisadas dois artigos inscritos, respectivamente, nesses nomes, quais sejam: “Considerações sobre estilo” (1961) e “Os gêneros do discurso” (1952-1953). Considerando a relação entre os dizeres de Saussure, sobre Saussure e a partir de Saussure, a análise nos possibilitou depreender que, embora o Curso de Linguística Geral seja tomado como um ponto de retorno (PÊCHEUX, [1981] 1999) nos dois textos analisados, as condições de produção em que se dá esse retorno implicam diferentes formas de significação e, portanto, de se relacionar com a memória instituída por ele.
El velocipedismo/ciclismo en La Rioja en el siglo XIX: sobre el origen e historia de las sociedades Veloz Club Riojano de Logroño y Club Velocipedista Harense = The Velocipedism/Cyclism in La Rioja during the 19th Century: on the origin and history of the Veloz Club Riojano from Logroño and Club Velocipedista Harense societies

El análisis de la historia del deporte en La Rioja es hoy en día un terreno insuficientemente explorado. Hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo el conocimiento que se tenía en esta región sobre disciplinas deportivas como el velocipedismo era bastante exiguo, señalándose fundamentalmente que se trató de un deporte muy subsidiario, con apenas apoyo y seguidores. Las fuentes revelan que no fue exactamente así. Por eso, con este artículo se pretende desmitificar aquellas aseveraciones que han colocado a la velocipedia en un plano muy secundario, mostrando para ello que ésta tuvo un significativo arraigo en dos ciudades riojanas de primer orden: Logroño y Haro. Así, tras realizar un somero repaso de la trayectoria del deporte a nivel europeo y español, se pasa a estudiarlo tomando a La Rioja como referente, para finalmente analizar en perspectiva comparada dos de las entidades velocipédicas riojanas más destacables del siglo XIX: Veloz Club Riojano y Club Velocipedista Harense. AbstractToday the analysis of the history of sport in La Rioja is a ground of pioneers. Until recently, the knowledge in this region about sports disciplines such as velocipedism was quite meager. Nevertheless, the access to ancient press sources lets know in a greater depth the first steps of the Rioja velocipedism. Therefore, this article aims to stimulate the knowledge about the Rioja cyclism history through the studying of two main cities: Logroño and Haro. Subsequently, after conducting a brief review of the trajectory of Sport in Spain and Rioja, it is analyzed two of the most outstanding Riojan velocipedic entities of the 19th century: Veloz Club Riojano and Club Velocipedista Harense.
Aptidão climática do sorgo como suporte alimentar a avicultura de São Bento Una - Pernambuco, Brasil
Authors: França Manoel Vieira de , Medeiros Raimundo Mainar de
Published: February 2021

Realizar a aptidão agroclimática que permita identificar o potencial produtivo do cultivar sorgo para São Bento do Una, como suporte alimentar a avicultura tomando-se com base os identificadores do clima estabelecidos conforme a exigência da cultura em estudo. Os dados pluviométricos foram adquiridos da Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste e da Agência Pernambucana de Água e Clima compreendido entre os anos de 1920 a 2018. Os dados de temperatura mensal e anual utilizados correspondem ao mesmo período das séries históricas pluvial, os índices térmicos foram estimados pelo software Estima_T. Aplicaram os cálculos simplificados estatisticamente para definir, média. Após as aplicações estatísticas geraram-se os gráficos do balanço hídrico e do evapopluviograma. A técnica de classificação e aptidão climática utilizou-se dos índices de deficiência, excedentes hídricos e pluviais para a área em estudo a qual aponta uma aptidão moderada para o plantio do sorgo. Este plantio deverá ser realizado no período chuvoso, utilizando-se das técnicas do preparo do solo e a ajuda quando possível das irrigações suplementares quando exigidos. Para evitar-se problema com umidade de solo e a plantação não sofre estresse hídrico ocasionado por períodos de veranicos prolongados deve-se escolher áreas de baixos para realizações do plantio.
