Published: December 2019

Background and Purpose: Due to the ability to uptake and accumulate heavy metals (HM) in their aboveground tissues, trees may be used for phytoremediation purposes, but also as bioindicators of environmental pollution. The aims of the present study were: a) to investigate the content and temporal variation of the studied HMs in different plant organs during the period of intensive leaf falling (September-October), in two species from genus Quercus; b) to evaluate the observed HMs content relative to plausible ranges of element concentration in foliar litter, as recommended by ICP Forests Foliar Co-ordinating Centre (IFFCC).
Material and Methods: The contents of zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) were assessed in the litterfall (i.e. leaves and branches) of Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Quercus robur L. grown at two ICP Forests Level II monitoring plots (Fruška Gora and Odžaci, Serbia). Plant material was sampled during September-October 2018 and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Results: Comparing the content of investigated HMs in foliar litter and branches of Q. robur and Q. petraea, notably higher concentrations of Mn and Fe have been observed in the foliage of both species, whereas Zn and Cu concentrations were higher in collected branch material of both of the above-mentioned tree species. The results further showed that, when compared to plausible ranges of element concentrations in foliar litter, given by ICP Forests Foliar Co-ordinating Centre (IFFCC), average concentrations of Fe and Zn in the leaves were within suggested limits, whereas certain concentrations of Mn and Cu exceeded the proposed ranges. Furthermore, the content of the studied HMs in plant material of both Quercus species significantly varied during sampling period.
Conclusions: Although it was observed that concentrations of certain HMs were beyond plausible limits recommended by IFFCC, our results were in accordance with the findings of other authors who studied HMs content in Quercus species grown in natural forests. For that reason, these limits should be considered optionally, i.e. in the cases when the results significantly deviate from the suggested values. Moreover, we believe that the observed variation in the HMs content during sampling period is related to the sampling procedure commonly applied at ICP Forests monitoring plots, which is indirectly associated with the capacity of trees to accumulate HMs and their phenological properties.
Ecology and Management of Black Walnut (Juglans nigra L.) in Hungary
Authors: Rédei Károly , Takács Marianna , Kiss Tamás , Keserű Zsolt
Published: December 2019

Background and Purpose: Black walnut ( Juglans nigra L.) was one of the first forest tree species introduced and acclimated from North America to Europe in the 17th century. Although native to North America, black walnut is now naturalized and widely planted throughout Europe. In Hungary, this species has played an important role in forest management. Black walnut can grow on various sites, but careful site selection and well-planned management practices are needed to produce successful plantations. Due to the increasing interest in black walnut growing in many countries this study complied with the aim of giving a summary on the base of research and improvement connected with the species over the past decades.
Materials and Methods: Black walnut produces a well-closing, favourably differentiated stand structure in consequence of the great genetic diversity of single trees. It utilizes well the leaks of the tending cuttings. In this manner, because of its quick height growth, the systematic, individual selective method can be favourably combined with more frequent stem number reduction. The objective of tending should be to produce a high proportion of good quality saw logs from stands of yield class I, II, III and IV, and some other smaller-dimension industrial wood from stands of yield class V and VI.
Conclusions: In Hungary, black walnut is one of the most valuable exotic tree species, mainly because of its wood excessively used in furniture industry. Black walnut is used in furniture industry both as solid wood and veneer. This species is among the most expensive furniture woods in the world due to its appealing surface figure and colour. Its wood is also used for making musical instruments, turned and carved ornaments, statues and marquetry. Black walnut stands are to be important in carbon sequestration, soil stabilization, and water quality protection as well.

Bøgild, P, Jensen, K, and Kvorning, T. Physiological performance characteristics of Danish National Team Handball players 1990–2016: implications on position-specific strength and conditioning training. J Strength Cond Res 34(6): 1555–1563, 2020—The aims of this study were: (a) to examine the anthropometric and physiological performance characteristics in male and female national team handball (TH) players before and after 2000; and (b) to compare anthropometry and physiological performance characteristics between court playing positions in male and female national TH players. Using a federal database containing physiological test data from 1990 to 2016 of more than 800 national A and U (under 21 years) TH players, data from 175 men and 138 women were extracted by their first appearance for pre- or post-2000 and sorted by playing positions. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Pre- vs. post-2000 male A showed no differences, whereas differences were found in male U, female A, and female U. General position-specific differences for both sexes were wings being lowest, lightest, and having lowest fat-free mass (FFM), pivots having higher body mass and FFM than back-court players, and higher %BF than wings. Back-court players and wings had higher jump and reach (JR) than pivots, and wings were faster on 30 m than pivots. Based on these findings, no general differences seem to exist before and after the year 2000 in the observed physiological parameters. The primary differences between playing positions were anthropometric, whereas the physiological performance characteristics, in general, did not differ between playing positions, except for the pivots' lower JR and the wings' faster 30 m, indicating that earlier documented differences in on-court work demands had not, in general, impacted the players' physiological performance characteristics.

Published: December 2019

Objective

This study is to determine the impact of complications after total thyroidectomy on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and to identify significant predictive factors of HR-QoL changes. HR-QoL is usually impaired in patients with thyroid diseases compared to the general population. Thyroidectomy is largely performed in the case of benign thyroid benign and can be associated with long-term complications (vocal cord palsy, hypoparathyroidism).

Design

The prospective ThyrQoL multicenter trial (NCT02167529) included 800 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for benign or malignant non-extensive disease in seven French referral hospitals between 2014 and 2016.

Methods

HR-QoL was assessed using the MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) self-questionnaire with a 6-month follow-up.

Results

We observed a significant improvement of HR-QoL 6 months after surgery (P < 0.0001). Postoperative complications were associated with a non-significant impairment of HR-QoL. In multivariable analysis, Graves’ disease was associated with a significant improvement of HR-QoL (OR = 2.39 [1.49; 3.84]) and thyroid malignant disease with an impairment of HR-QoL (OR = 1.44 [0.99; 2.08]) after thyroidectomy.

Conclusion

We observed a significant improvement of HR-QoL 6 months after total thyroid surgery for benign thyroid disease.

Published: December 2019

У статті наголошено, що особливо актуальною сьогодні є проблема навчання, виховання та розвитку осіб з особливими освітніми потребами, а зокрема з порушеннями зору. Позаяк чисельність осіб з даною нозологією щорічно зростає, про що засвідчують статистичні дані Міністерства охорони здоров’я України, актуалізується необхідність пошуку нових підходів до навчання та виховання молоді; вибору нетрадиційних форм, методів, прийомів та засобів навчання дітей шкільного віку з порушеннями зору. Розв’язання цього та низки інших супровідних завдань мають на меті створення належного комфортного середовища, у якому учням було б затишно перебувати поряд з іншими школярами, успішно навчатись, опановувати пожиттєво необхідні компетенції, розвивати свої задатки та здібності, реалізовувати творчий потенціал.

Натомість особливо важливим є подолання низки труднощів, що мають місце у процесі упровадження інклюзивної моделі навчання, позаяк саме вони призводять до гальмування даного процесу загалом та призводять до виникнення різноманітних перешкод у життєдіяльності учнів.

Мета дослідження полягала у виокремленні низки особливостей даної категорії молодших школярів, встановленні їх реальних можливостей щодо здійснення навчання у школі та визначенні специфіки навчально-виховної діяльності вчителів у роботі із ними; встановленні переліку вимог до діяльності вчителя задля попередження появи певних труднощів у процесі навчання; встановленні рівня готовності учнів із порушеннями зору до навчання у загальноосвітньому навчальному закладі.

У процесі нашого дослідження нами було використано наступні методи, а саме:теоретичні (опрацювання літературних джерел, нормативно-правової бази інклюзивної освіти); емпіричні (анкетування, опитування, спостереження, етичні бесіди, ранжування, експертне оцінювання, методи статистичної обробки даних).

Результати нашого дослідження ще раз підтвердили вже існуючі гіпотези низки науковців про те, що у випадку включення дітей із різними видами нозологій на навчання у ЗОШ необхідно ретельно вивчити їх особливості та можливості, своєчасно діагностуючи індивідуальні можливості, задатки, рівень научуваності, особливості учнів; накреслити основні шляхи задля підвищення ефективності створення інклюзивного середовища у навчальному закладі; здійснювати інноваційну діяльність задля надання якісних освітніх послуг молодшим школярам з порушеннями зору.
ФЕМІНІСТИЧНА ПЕДАГОГІКА ЯК НАПРЯМ КРИТИЧНОЇ ПЕДАГОГІКИ
Authors: Turchyn Iryna
Published: December 2019

У статті на підставі аналізу поглядів педагогів визначено роль феміністичної педагогіки в сучасній науці. Подано теоретичний огляд феміністичної педагогіки в працях зарубіжних і вітчизняних науковців, що значно розширює ґрунтовне вивчення цієї проблематики. Акцентовано на феміністичній педагогіці як напрямі критичної педагогіки.

Розглянуто проблему феміністичної педагогіки, що є актуальною особливо завдяки вивченню поглядів бразильського педагога і філософа П. Фрейре, який посідає вагоме місце серед когорти відомих педагогів. Визначено роль цієї педагогіки у його працях. Завдяки вивченню праць бразильського педагога з’ясовано, що рівноправне ставлення учня та вчителя, яке П. Фрейре виділяв у «проблемно-орієнтованій» моделі освіти, повинно інтегруватися у феміністичний напрям у педагогіці. Зауважено на важливості студентоцентризму та демократії в освітньому процесі. Досліджено погляди П. Фрейре та А. Шор щодо сексизму під час проведення занять. Проаналізовано праці українських (І. Кизима та Н. Самойленко) і зарубіжних (Дж. Кенвей, Л. Макклюр, Д. Маседо, Г. Модра, П. Фрейре та А. Шор) авторів у контексті вивчення феміністичної педагогіки.

Застосовано такі теоретичні методи, як контент-аналіз, синтез результатів опрацьованих досліджень, а також пошуково-бібліографічний метод.

Розкрито дефініцію «феміністичної педагогіки», що є напрямом критичної педагогіки, в основі якого – стосунки між статями в освітньому процесі, зокрема необхідною умовою якого є зміна ставлення до учениць або студенток. Актуальність статті полягає в ретельному аналізі поглядів П. Фрейре та виділенні аспектів, що є актуальними у феміністичній педагогіці.

The Ethnic Studies Now! Santa Barbara Coalition (ESNSB) formed in December 2015 as a community-based, intergenerational collective with the goal of establishing an ethnic studies course as a high school graduation requirement in Santa Barbara, California. From the beginning, ESNSB understood that this work fit into a broader context of building democratic education and grassroots participation in our community. At the same time, ESNSB needed to work as a grassroots organization with the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) and the school board to achieve our immediate goal.

Several significant questions arise from our organizing. While it matters that activists work with institutional stakeholders to implement new policies, what changes when grassroots organizers are part of the process? How do activists work with institutions while countering the institutions’ tendency to absorb or co-opt their efforts? How does a multigenerational organization, such as ESNSB, work to develop youth leadership as well as to create structures that offset the tendency of adults to take charge and to take over? One partial response is that ESNSB operated on a model of collective leadership. But what is collective leadership? How might it work in practice? What is the relationship between models of organizing and democratic education? By addressing questions such as these, this article seeks to illuminate aspects of grassroots organizing that can help to build social movements for (and beyond) ethnic studies.

Published: December 2019

The case of a 5-year-old intact female Pitbull Terrier with a granular cell tumour (GCT) of the mammary gland is presented. The dog was admitted for surgical removal of a non-painful lump assumed to be a fibroadenoma. Histological and immunohistochemical findings leading to the diagnosis consisted of polygonal tumour cells with well-defined cell borders and granular cytoplasm, staining positively with neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and protein S100 and negatively for cytokeratin AE1-AE3. Some important points in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this uncommon neoplasm are discussed. To our best knowledge this is the first case of such tumour in the mammary gland described in the veterinary literature.

This study represents the first report on the amphibians and reptiles of Mount Korbu, the highest peak in the Titiwangsa Range (2182 m a.s.l.) and the second highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia. The Titiwangsa Range is the longest and most contiguous mountain range in Peninsular Malaysia, but only three upland localities have been extensively sampled and published on, indicating the urgent need for fieldwork to new localities along this range. We documented 18 species of amphibians from the families Bufonidae, Dicroglossidae, Megophryidae, Microhylidae, Ranidae, and Rhacophoridae and 16 species of reptiles from the families Agamidae, Gekkonidae, Scincidae, Colubridae, Pareidae, Viperidae, Testudinidae, and Trionychidae. This study also records significant range extensions for four species and provides the first collated checklist on the herpetofauna of the Titiwangsa Range.
Código da Aliança: o pobre tem vez!
Authors: Figueiredo Telmo José Amaral de
Published: December 2019

O artigo se propõe a investigar, no interior do Código da Aliança (Ex 20,22–23,33), as leis que buscam proteger os mais fracos da sociedade, ou seja, aqueles cujos direitos não são reconhecidos e que estão sujeitos a todos os tipos de arbitrariedades. Portanto, são as normas sociais que estarão mais no foco deste estudo, compreendendo, principalmente o texto de Ex 22,20 a 23,12. O objetivo é realizar um confronto da legislação do Código da Aliança com outros “códigos” legais do Oriente Médio Antigo, justamente a fim de perceber as principais diferenças e características do direito israelita em relação ao de seus vizinhos. Ficará evidente que, apesar de não ser uma legislação que promova uma igualdade social absoluta, as leis israelitas primam por evitar que as camadas mais pobres e frágeis da sociedade sejam, ainda, vítimas da ausência de uma proteção aos seus direitos mais básicos. Além do mais, serão constatados os avanços em relação às demais legislações do Oriente Médio Antigo.
The Importance of the Diocesan Synod to the Particular Church
Authors: Kantor Robert
Published: December 2019

“Particular Churches, in which and from which, the one and only Catholic Church exists, are principally dioceses. Unless the contrary is clear, the following are equivalent to a diocese: a territorial prelature, a territorial abbacy, a vicariate apostolic, a prefecture apostolic and a permanently established apostolic administration” (canon 368 of the Code of Canon Law). In December 2016, the Bishop of Tarnów convened the 5th Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów. The main purpose of a Synod – in the opinion of the Bishop of Tarnów – was to demonstrate the spiritual, pastoral and material heritage of the Christ’s Church in the Diocese of Tarnów; to revive faith, hope and love in the personal and community relationship with Christ in the Church; and to indicate new pastoral ways in the changeability of the world towards the unchangeability of Christ. Taking this into consideration the article analyzes the following issues: the definition of a synod; the purpose of a synod; convocation of and presiding over a diocesan synod; the preparation of a synod; Pope Francis about synodality, and finally “The Church is our neighbour” – a synod as an expression of love for the Church.
Effective Metaheuristic Assignment to Improve Equivalence in Small Experimental Pedagogical Groups

Published: December 2019

We propose a new metaheuristic algorithm to find “good” solutions for the assignment of small treatment-control groups, minimising the random resource. Using simulated cases, we achieved 100% groups with equivalence levels equal to or higher than those generated with the simple random assignment, complete random assignment and block random assignment designs. In addition, as a secondary objective to test the new algorithm, we found that short out of-class essays implied that treatment group marks were 14% higher than in the control group.
Willing but Unable? Teachers’ Sense-making of Curriculum-reform Policy in the Early Implementation Stage
Authors: Chimbi Godsend T. , Jita Loyiso C.
Published: December 2019

This paper explores how history teachers in Zimbabwe interpret the new curriculum policy and how their understanding influenced the implementation of the new reforms. Using a qualitative multiple-case study of history teachers data were collected through document analysis, in-depth interviews and extensive non-participatory lesson observations. Results seem to challenge the traditional view that teachers are naturally resistant to change and are saboteurs who tend to undermine reform proposals. Instead teachers need to be empowered on how to implement the envisaged changes.
Differentiating Among High-Achieving Learners

Published: December 2019

This study investigated the application of item response theory (IRT) to expand the range of ability estimates for gifted (hereinafter referred to as high-achieving) students’ performance on an above-level test. Using a sample of 4th – 6th grade high-achieving students (n = 1,893), we conducted a study to compare estimates from two measurement theories, classical test theory (CTT) and IRT. CTT and IRT make different assumptions about the analysis that impact the reliability and validity of the scores obtained from the test. IRT can also differentiate students based on the student’s grade or within a grade by using the unique string of correct and incorrect answers the student makes while taking the test. This differentiation may have implications for identifying or classifying students who are ready for advanced coursework. An exploration of the differentiation for math, reading, and science tests and the impact the different measurement frameworks can have on classification of students are explored. Implications for academic talent identification with the Talent Search Model and development of academic talent are discussed.

The article answers how growing intensity of China-V4 relations in the period of 2010–2017 impacted the media discourse of China in Central Europe. While diplomatically speaking China and the Visegrad countries reached perhaps the most positive and intensive relations ever, the top-down impact on people’s perceptions is less clear. Media play an important role as an intermediary between the politics and public opinion and their role in EU-China and China-Central Europe relations has been previously discussed. The paper summarizes empirical findings of large-scale research of media reporting related to China in Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic from 2010 till mid-2017 in which more than seven thousand media outputs were consulted. It is found that the political relations led to quantitative increase of media coverage of China, yet the qualitative impact is ambivalent, thus questioning the success of Chinese soft power attempts. The discourse on China in the Czech Republic and Hungary is in no small extent politicized, polarized, and media often inform about China based on domestic political considerations, while in Slovakia there is little interest in China overall and media largely follows official narratives and international discourse.

A comparative study of dispersed catalysts obtained in-situ on the based of Mo and Fe-Co in the process of catalytic steam cracking of vacuum residue in the slurry-reactor was conducted (water : vacuum residue = 0,1 : 1 ratio, temperature – 450 °C, pressure – 2,0 MPa, feed rate – 0.1 kg/h). Samples of the semisynthetic oil were obtained and characterized. In the rectification process the gasoline, diesel, oil and residual fractions were allocated. A complex of physicоchemical methods was applied to the analysis of light and dark petroleum products. Based on the obtained data the performance properties of the studied fractions were compared. The relationship between the redistribution of components within the fractions and the catalytic properties of dispersed catalysts was established. The efficiency of using Fe-Co catalysts to produce semisynthetic oil with an increased content of light fractions in the process of catalytic steam cracking of vacuum residue is shown

Published: December 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı ulusal gazetelerde öğretmenlerin ve öğretmenlik mesleğinin nasıl temsil edildiğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda örneklem için Türkiye’de ulusal düzeyde yayın yapan üç gazete (Hürriyet, Sabah ve Sözcü) araştırma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Örneklemin seçiminde gazetelerin tirajı, mülkiyet durumu ve siyasi duruşu dikkate alınmıştır. Araştırmanın yapılacağı sürece en yakın eğitim-öğretim dönemi olan 1 Eylül 2017 ile 31 Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında öğretmenlerle ilgili çıkan metinler araştırma örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Haber metinleri PRNet dijital gazete arşivinden elde edilmiş ve metinlerin doğru bir şekilde taranabilmesi için “öğretmen” kelimesi anahtar kelime olarak seçilmiştir. Ulaşılan veriler üzerinde çalışılarak öğretmenlerle ilgili iyimser düşünceler oluşturabilecek haberler olumlu; kötümser düşünceler oluşturabilecek haberler olumsuz; herhangi bir duygu ve düşünceye yol açmayacak haberler ise dengeli olarak kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Bu kategorilerin altında ise temalar ve konular bulunmaktadır. Örneklemdeki üç gazetede de öğretmenlerle ilgili okuyucunun dikkatini çekebilecek farklı konulardaki haberlere yer verildiği görülmektedir. Olumlu haberlerin sunulmasında gazeteler arasında önemli bir fark bulunmamakta ve öğretmenlerin olumlu etkinlik ve eylemleri haberleştirilmektedir. Sözcü ve kısmen de Hürriyet gazeteleri siyasi iktidarı eleştirebilecek olumsuz haberlere daha fazla yer vermektedir. Bazı olumsuz haberlerin sunumunda kullanılan dil ve üslup tüm gazetelerde kışkırtıcı, genelleyici ve olumsuz algıyı derinleştirici yöndedir. Bu da öğretmenlerin imajını zedeleyebilecek niteliktedir.

Published: December 2019

This experiment
was conducted in order to estimate gene action, combining ability and heterotic
effects for yield and quality characters by the line x tester analysis,
involving 5 lines and 4 testers with 20 crosses in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The ratio of general and specific ability
variance revealed non-additive gene action effects for seed cotton yield, fiber
length, fiber strength and ginning percentage and additive gene action for
fiber fineness and reflectance degree. Claudia, Gloria and Bali 308 with high
general combining ability were combiner parents and could be used for breeding
multi-parent combinations. ST-468 x Claudia, Carisma
x Carmen, Bali 308 x Gloria and Bali 308 x Claudia were promising combinations
for further selection. Heterosis and heterobeltiosis values of most cross
combinations for seed cotton yield, fiber strength and ginning percentage were
negative direct. It was concluded that due to non-additive gene actions, it is
advisable to select individual plants for seed cotton yield, ginning percentage
and fiber properties in later generations (F4-F6).
TRADITIONS OF POSITIVISM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POLISH-UKRAINIAN BORDERLAND
Authors: Goncharenko Bogdana
Published: December 2019

The article examines the traditions of Polish literary of positivism in the context of the Polish-Ukrainian bor- derland. The issues of collective identity in the context of literary models of images and concepts of both Own and Strange, as artistic markers of the polyethnic society of the Ukrainian and Polish peoples of this epoch are also considered.

Draws attention to the processes of changing the image of a Ukrainian as another in the Polish literary text. Beginning with the first written references to the cultural and historical dialogue between the two ethnic groups, the Ukrainian- Polish ties have changed. These are the influences of the Ukrainian language in Polish literary texts as far back as the XVI century. The Cossacks’ interest in this period, especially in the context of wars with Cossacks and Turks, is intensifying during this period.

The Ukrainian-Polish cultural discourse is considered in the context of the communicative relations of His-Other, while changing the cognitive completeness of both terms during the history of relations and coexistence of both peoples in the his- torical retrospection.

Understanding the cultural Polish-Ukrainian frontier as a result of the joint efforts of the participants in the cul- tural process, which created a separate world picture of specific codes of intercultural communication, current research on these phenomena is being conducted by modern scholars, in particular, in the context of artistic markers of the polyethnic society of this epoch of Own– Strange – Another at the end of the nineteenth century. are obviously funda- mentally different from their interpretation in the era of romanticism and in the works of Polish romantic writers of the “Ukrainian school”.

In comparative aspect of the research work compares the dynamics of the processes in Polish and Ukrainian lit- erature of the ХІХ century, their typology taking into account the absorption positivist ideas of systematic features of the phenomenological paradigm of ethnic and cultural artistic patterns in both literatures, defined the aesthetic specificity of interethnic positivism, given the special condition of the ХІХ century society, ethnicity and culture of both peoples.
EMIGRATION PUBLICATIONS OF THE CREATIVE HERITAGE OF VASYL PACHOVSKYI
Authors: Verlata Anna
Published: December 2019

The article deals with the role of the Association of Ukrainian Writers in Exile “Word” in publication of the most complete collection of works by Vasyl Pachovsky in two volumes. Vasyl Pachovsky was a prominent member of Young Muse – an informal modernist group of writers and artists in Western Ukraine founded in 1906. In Ukrainian literature, he is mostly known as a lyric poet, but Vasyl Pachovsky is also the author of dramatic works. His modernistic dramas are lyrical allegories. At the same time they are highly patriotic works describing Ukraine’s long quest for freedom. Pachovsky’s most prominent dramas are: “Dream of Ukrainian Night”, “Sun of the Ruin”, “The Sphinx of Europe”, “Prince Roman the Great”, and “Het’man Mazepa”. Some of the works by Vasyl Pachovskyi were published in various journals or as separate books, but many of his works of art and historical articles remained in manuscripts. They are saved in the archives of the author’s family in the USA.

In the context of solving this issue the publishing activity of the Association of Ukrainian Writers in Exile “Word” has been examined. The organization continued the traditions initiated by the Ukrainian Artistic Movement (Mystets’kyi Ukrayins’kyi Rukh). Its most famous members were Hryhorii Kostiuk, Yurii Sherekh, Vasyl Barka, Yurii Lavrinenko, Ostap Tarnavskyi and others. Their purpose was to create a literary center that would unite Ukrainian writers of diaspora. The organization also had to promote the development of independent Ukrainian writing, Theory of Literature and Literary Criticism, to create a publishing house in which the authors would be able to print their works. In general, a great number of different books (works of art, documentary, literary studies) have been published under the stamp of this Association. The collected works by Vasyl Pachovsky in two volumes have been published in 1984–1985, when Ostap Tarnavskyi was the chairman of the union. A lot of efforts have been made by sons and daughter of the writer.

The structure and peculiarities of the publication are observed, the prefaces by the members of the Association Ostap Tarnavskyi and Vasyl Barka to each volume are considered. The texts of these authors are very important for the research into creative legacy of Vasyl Pachovskyi.

The study was investigated the functional properties of buffalo skin gelatine. Gelatine was extracted from swamp buffalo skin using crude acid protease from cow’s abomasum (CAPC) in concentration variation 0; 2.5; 5; and 7.5 U/mg. The temperature to hydrolysis included at 28 °C, 37°C and 40°C. The emulsion activity index (EAI), Emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming expansion (FE) and foaming stability (FS) were investigated. The interaction between CAPC concentration and hydrolysis temperature has a significant effect (P <0.05) on the emulsion activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming expansion (FE) and foaming stability (FS). The highest EAI was obtained in CAPC concentration of 5 U /mg, hydrolysis temperature of 40°C, which was 12.04 m2/g. The higher concentration of CAPC decreased the ESI. The hydrolysis temperature of 40°C produces higher FE than 28°C and 40°C. The highest FE is obtained at CAPC 5U/mg, 37°C hydrolysis temperature, which is 102.93%. The FS values range from 44.91-55.00%. This value is higher than commercial gelatin (bovine skin gelatin) which is 34.90%. The conclusion of this study is that buffalo skin gelatin with the best functional properties was obtained using CAPC 5 U/mg, the hydrolysis temperature of 40°C.

SECOND LAW ANALYSIS OF MIXED CONVECTION OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW IN AN INCLINED SQUARE LID-DRIVEN ENCLOSURE
Authors: BÜYÜK ÖĞÜT Elif
Published: December 2019

Second law of thermodynamics analysis is formulated for the case of laminar mixed convection in an inclined square lid-driven enclosure in the presence of magnetic field. Vertical sides of the enclosure moves upward when inclination angle is zero. Governing equations of flow and temperature in the form of stream function-vorticity formulation were solved numerically using the differential quadrature method. Governing parameters are: Richardson number (from 0.01 to 100), Prandtl number (from 0.1 to 1.0), inclination angle of enclosure (from 0 to 180), Hartmann number (from 0 to 100) and magnetic field direction (0). It is found that the inclination angle of enclosure is effective parameter on entropy generation especially for higher Richardson number (Ri > 1) due to domination of natural convection. However, Hartmann number is effective on both heat transfer and entropy generation for all values of Richardson and Prandtl numbers and it decreases the convective fluid flow and entropy generation.
Trocas Sociodialetais entre Falantes Topoestáticos e Topodinâmicos: Dados do ALITTETO
Authors: Silva Greize Alves da , Aguilera Vanderci De Andrade
Published: December 2019

Nas últimas décadas, o Brasil tem vivenciado um processo de grande mobilidade sociogeográfica, o que se traduz em uma nova configuração linguística, decorrente do contato entre diferentes modalidades dialetais no mesmo espaço. Estudos mais recentes em Sociolinguística e em Dialetologia têm atestado que fatores sócio-históricos e sócio-econômicos decorrentes da mobilidade da população acarretam, por vezes, a transformação de cenário dentro dos estudos que visam averiguar os processos de variação e de mudança linguística. Nesse panorama, este texto objetiva demonstrar o comportamento linguístico, sobretudo na área do léxico, de informantes topodinâmicos, moradores atuais de Tocantins, em comparação com informantes topoestáticos naturais das doze localidades investigadas para o Atlas Linguístico Topodinâmico e Topoestático do Estado do Tocantins (ALiTTETO).
O movimento de sobrancelhas como marcador de domínios sintáticos na Língua Brasileira de Sinais
Authors: Figueiredo Lorena Mariano Borges , Lourenço Guilherme
Published: December 2019

Este trabalha objetiva discutir o papel do movimento de sobrancelhas enquanto marcador de domínios sintáticos na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras). A partir da análise de duas narrativas em Libras, identificamos contextos sintáticos em que o levantamento ou abaixamento de sobrancelha ocorre. Alguns desses contextos já foram descritos anteriormente na literatura em análises de outras línguas de sinais e também da própria Libras, a saber: topicalização, orações condicionais, orações relativas e interrogativas do tipo QU- e sim/não. Adicionalmente, encontramos ocorrências de levantamento de sobrancelhas em apontamentos indexicais (com função determinante ou pronominal), em orações adverbiais e em construções que se assemelham a apostos.
Atitudes e Crenças Linguísticas em um Cenário Multilingue
Authors: Camacho Roberto Gomes , Fiamengui Ana Helena Rufo
Published: December 2019

Numa situação multilíngue, como a da fronteira Ponta Porã/Juan Pedro Caballero, o processo de alfabetização e todo o ensino subsequente de língua entram seriamente em conflito com o grau de letramento possível de que dispõem os alunos paraguaios, um caso exemplar de cumprimento de um aspecto teórico levantado por Street (2007): o caráter dominante de uma cultura, que é, nesse âmbito, o letramento em português ou em espanhol de falantes do guarani como L1. A hipótese que pretendemos desenvolver aqui é, portanto, a de que, como o processo de letramento inclui atitudes e crenças compartilhadas pelos alunos, essa relação inclusiva seria um mecanismo imprescindível ao desenvolvimento do processo formal de alfabetização e de práticas sociais de escrita e leitura, especialmente quando destituídos do preconceito advindo da imposição de letramento dominante.
Protagonismo Discente em Processo de Constituição de Letramentos Acadêmicos

Published: December 2019

Apresentamos resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou incentivar estudantes ingressantes na universidade a desenvolver práticas de letramento acadêmico, sob a concepção de letramentos enquanto práticas sociais. Ancoradas nos Novos Estudos do Letramento (STREET, 2014), em especial aqueles que se dedicam aos letramentos acadêmicos (ZAVALA, 2009; LEA, STREET, 1998; FIAD, 2011, 2013; JUCHUM, 2016), desenvolvemos uma pesquisa-ação (TRIPP, 2005) em Linguística Aplicada (MOITA LOPES, 2006) associada à etnografia virtual (HINE, 2000). Planejamos e implementamos um curso em ambiente virtual que visou à construção de uma comunidade colaborativa online a partir da valorização das identidades dos alunos (FIRPO, 2018). Neste artigo, analisamos evidências dos letramentos acadêmicos construídos em textos de autoria dos estudantes publicados no jornal universitário digital produzido por um grupo de alunos veteranos. Os resultados desta pesquisa contribuem para a superação do discurso do deficit de leitura e escrita dos alunos, pois nas produções analisadas, em que escreveram e publicaram textos sobre suas vivências após o ingresso no ensino superior, demonstraram protagonismo discente como agentes de letramentos acadêmicos.
