Authors: Silva Maria Ana Paula Freire da , Oliveira Gilvaneide Ferreira de
Published: December 2022

O mundo atual está marcado por intensas transformações caracterizadas pelos novos contextos tecnológicos, científicos e pela informação rápida e atualizada. Neste mesmo contexto se encontra a educação formal, buscando caminhos que possam garantir aprendizagem significativa e formação integral dos sujeitos. Entretanto, as escolas ainda divergem desses novos tempos. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a importância do trabalho com projetos contextualizados nas aulas de Geografia para o desenvolvimento crítico e a construção da autonomia dos/as estudantes na escola básica, neste caso, trabalhos com metodologia científica. Considera-se aqui a reflexão sobre a prática docente da autora enquanto professora e orientadora de tais projetos. A educação não pode se isolar dos acontecimentos cotidianos, ela faz parte deles. As aulas de Geografia não podem perpetuar-se nos relatos enfadonhos e sem coerência dos(as) estudantes, ao contrário, precisam fazer sentido para suas vidas. A vida real não pode ficar do lado de fora das salas de aula, pois estão pulsando nos corpos e mentes dos que adentram estes espaços. O trabalho com projetos no contexto escolar demanda envolvimento, comportamento dialógico, autonomia e parceria entre professores(as) e estudantes. Apesar de lentos, esses caminhos precisam ser construídos e trilhados.

Authors: Firmino Paul Clívilan Santos
Published: December 2022

Alagoas possui economia sustentada pela cana-de-açúcar e forte concentração de terras. Paralelamente a essa realidade existem atividades relacionadas com a pequena/média propriedade, dando suporte a agricultura familiar e economia de subsistência, auxiliando na produção de alimentos que contribuem para sobrevivência, empregabilidade e fixação da população no rural. Os(as) assentados(as) da reforma agrária, população que produz de forma diversificada e saudável, têm desempenhado papel significativo. Nesse sentido, o Assentamento Fidel Castro no município de Joaquim Gomes/Alagoas, como recorte espacial, é de suma importância na investigação. Destarte, objetiva-se analisar a pequena/média propriedade no desenvolvimento da atividade econômica diversificada, fixação da população rural e alternativa à canavicultura. As ideias acerca da temática, desenvolvidas por autoras(es) da Geografia e áreas afins, bem como dados e informações do trabalho de campo e pesquisas em sites específicos, foram essenciais na escrita do artigo. A pequena/média propriedade e a agricultura familiar contribuem para a geração de emprego e renda, fixação da população no rural e atraem aquelas que migraram em determinado momento, onde políticas de valorização e incentivos as atividades no/do rural, mediante distribuição e uso diversificado da terra, diminuindo a desigualdade social, aparece como caminho a ser trilhado.

Authors: Dias Deilson Alves , Alves Flamarion Dutra
Published: December 2022

Em meio às transformações nas dinâmicas territoriais, as discussões acerca das relações entre o campo e as cidades devem ser postas em pauta nos estudos da ciência geográfica. A região localiza-se no Sul de Minas, região que em seus primórdios teve forte ligação com a “fazenda”, fator que pode ter sido fundamental na configuração espacial atual da região. Onde constata-se a ausência de cidades grandes, presença de algumas cidades de porte médio, que se configuram como polos regionais, e a existência de muitas cidades de pequeno porte que têm sua cultura e paisagens fortemente ligados às dinâmicas do campo. Mas sabidas as mudanças na dinâmica econômica nos últimos séculos, nos propomos a fazer uma análise e descrição socioeconômica dos municípios da Região Geográfica Imediata de Três Corações, abordando a relação campo-cidade presente. Além de investigar os fatores que contribuem para que Três Corações desempenhe um papel de centralidade nesta região. Quanto à abordagem teórico-metodológica, o trabalho foi desenvolvido seguindo uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, elaborada através de pesquisas bibliográficas acerca de conceitos chaves e coleta de dados, para tal, utilizamos a plataforma SIDRA-IBGE e IMRS (FJP).
İbn Sînâ’da Mantıkî Tümel ve Gazzâlî’nin Mantıkî Tümel Bağlamında İbn Sînâ’ya Yönelttiği Eleştirilerin Analizi
Authors: Tosun Mustafa Selman
Published: December 2022

Bu çalışma İbn Sînâ (ö. 428/1037) felsefesinde mantıkî tümelin tümel olmak bakımından değerine ve Gazzâlî’nin (ö. 505/1111) mantıkî tümel bağlamında İbn Sînâ’ya yönelttiği eleştirilere odaklanmaktadır. Bu iki düşünürün tümel ve tümel türlerini nasıl açıkladıklarına değinip, onların düşünce sisteminde tümelin tekabül ettiği manayı ortaya koyarak Gazzâlî’nin İbn Sînâ’ya yönelttiği eleştirilerinin felsefi analizi yapılmaktadır. Buna göre İbn Sînâ tümelin üç türünden bahsetmektedir. Bu tümeller tabiî, aklî ve mantıkî olarak üç türe ayrılır. Bu tümeller arasındaki ilişkiyse zâtî bir ilişkiye dayanır. Bu türden ilişkiyi belirleyen ve ilke veren ise tümellerin dışında olmak zorundadır. Ona göre tümellerin anlamını ve tümel türleri arasındaki zâtî ilişkiyi varlık kavramı belirlemektedir. Bu bakımdan aklî tümel tabiî tümelin makulü; aklî tümel mantıkî tümelin lazımı olabilir. Öyleyse İbn Sînâ’da tümel kavramı varlığa ilişkindir. Gazzâlî’de ise tümelin üç türünden bahsedebiliriz. O tümelin türlerini isimlendirmez ama onları betimleyerek birbirinden ayırır. Onun ayrımında ise ortaklık kavramı bilfiil ve bilkuvve olmak bakımından ele alınır ve bu kavramsal ayrımlardan hareketle varlık taksim edilir. Bu bakımdan İbn Sînâ’nın tümellere yüklediği anlam ile Gazzâlî’nin tümellere yüklediği anlam arasında arızî bir ayrımdan söz edemeyiz. Bunun tam aksine iki düşünürünün tümellere yüklediği anlam arasında zâtî bir farklılık vardır. Bu ayrılıktan hareketle Gazzâlî’nin İbn Sînâ’ya yönelttiği eleştiriler de zâtî bir nitelik arz etmektedir. Gazzâlî’nin İbn Sînâ’ya yönelttiği eleştirilerin en açık göstergelerinden biri onun mantıkî tümele yüklediği anlam ve mantıkî tümel bağlamında verdiği örnekte yatmaktadır. Gazzâlî mantıkî tümeli bilkuvve ve bilfiil olmak bakımından ortaklığı kabul etmeyen mana olarak ele alarak ondaki ortaklığı ise tasdiğe konu olan şeyin dışında bir nedene bağlamaktadır. İbn Sînâ, Gazzâlî’nin mantıkî tümele yüklediği anlamın, söylenmenin tasdikin dışında olması hususuna katılmakla beraber tasavvura konu olmayı açıkça vurgulamaktadır. Gazzâlî ise İbn Sînâ’nın bu gönderimini göz ardı etmiş ve mantıkî tümel bağlamında verdiği “İlah” örneğinden hareketle İbn Sînâ’nın bunu kabul edeceğini vurgulamıştır. Halbuki İbn Sînâ’nın felsefi sisteminde “İlah” lafzının tasavvura konu olması mümkün değildir. Çünkü “İlah” tasavvur edilmez ama idrak edilir. Ona göre tasavvura konu olanlar bilkuvve çokluk barındırır. Ama “İlah” lafzı ancak zorunlu varlık olması bakımından tasavvurun konusu olmaya elverişli değildir. Bu bakımdan Gazzâlî’nin eleştirilerinin beş sanat bakımından cedelî mi yoksa safsata mı olduğu analiz edilebilir. Gazzâlî’nin hem mantıkî tümele yüklediği anlam hem de bu anlam için verdiği örnekler onun eleştirilerinin safsata türünden olduğunun zâtî niteliğini teşkil etmektedir.

Published: December 2022

The automated gain control (AGC) units as well as other non AGC equipment may be utilized in real-time power transmitting (RTPD) to coordinate the operations (RTD). In order to guarantee high-probability system security and to save operating costs, it is essential to correctly define the probable Wind Energy Forecast (WPFE) mistakes in RTD. The Cauchy Distribution (CD) is the perfect match for the "leptokurtic" characteristic of WPFE small-scale distributions, following previous research and our onsite testing. In this study, the CD represents WPFE, which is suggested to provide a chance-controlled real-time dispatch (CCRTD) paradigm (Chance-Constrained Randomization). The suggested CCRTD Model may be analytically converted to the "Convex Optimisation Problem," which takes into consideration the dependency of the wind farm outputs because of the stability and attractive mathematical features of the CD. The inclusion of a refined control method that may also be used in combination with AGC systems is an additional aspect of the suggested model. This technique, when combined with the WPFE RTD Stage, allows the CCRTD to respond to the higher ramping power requirements as well as power variations on WPFE-generated transmittal lines. The proposed technique was shown to be trustworthy and efficient in numerical testing. It is nevertheless extremely effective as well as suitable for usage.

Optimal Reconfiguration of Power Distribution Network Using Hybrid Firefly and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Azhar Ayesha , Ahmad Aftab
Published: December 2022

Electrical energy has become the most essential requirement for working of today’s modern world. Power distribution networks (PDN) are required for providing power from substations to consumers but are subjected to power loss and voltage drop problems. These problems greatly affect the operational cost and voltage stability level of a PDN. Network reconfiguration (NR) is a cost effective approach to optimize PDN for reduction of power loss and improvement of voltage profile (VP). This paper presents an effective meta-heuristic, population-based algorithm for finding optimal configuration of a PDN. In particular Hybrid Firefly and Particle Swarm Optimization (HFPSO) algorithm is used. The HFPSO algorithm has enhanced exploration and exploitation strategies, and fast convergence rate. MATLAB software is used to implement the algorithm and IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system (RDS) is considered for NR. The results obtained show that active power loss is reduced by 46.35% from original value and minimum voltage is improved to 0.9572p.u. The comparison of obtained results with literature show that HFPSO algorithm has efficiently reduced active power loss and improved VP of the network.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to determine how to contact pressure affects pile capacity. First, a single pile model was subjected to a total of six tests, five conducted under varying surface loads and one conducted on a single pile raft. Plaxis- 3D was utilized in the second step of numerical modelling to imitate experimental activity. The galvanized iron pipe was used as a model pipe, and for confining pressure, a rectangular plate made of aluminum had a slot in the center for placing a pile. For numerical study in Plaxis 3-D pile was used as a model pile surrounding the soil to find the relative displacement between the piles and surrounding the soil. In the proposed research work, the axial and lateral capacity of the pile increases due to the contact pressure of the soil. As a result of the interaction between the pile and the raft, when the results were compared, the pile tightly connected to the raft took less axial force than the other pile that was not. Similar outcomes emerged from the trials when they were conducted in Plaxis 3-D.
Equilibrium climate sensitivity increases with aerosol concentration due to changes in precipitation efficiency
Authors: Dagan Guy
Published: December 2022

Abstract. How Earth's climate reacts to anthropogenic forcing is one of the most
burning questions faced by today's scientific community. A leading source of
uncertainty in estimating this sensitivity is related to the response of
clouds. Under the canonical climate-change perspective of forcings and
feedbacks, the effect of anthropogenic aerosols on clouds is categorized
under the forcing component, while the modifications of the radiative
properties of clouds due to climate change are considered in the feedback
component. Each of these components contributes the largest portion of
uncertainty to its relevant category and is largely studied separately from
the other. In this paper, using idealized cloud-resolving radiative–convective-equilibrium simulations, with a slab ocean model, we
show that aerosol–cloud interactions could affect cloud feedback.
Specifically, we show that equilibrium climate sensitivity increases under
high aerosol concentration due to an increase in the short-wave cloud
feedback. The short-wave cloud feedback is enhanced under high-aerosol
conditions due to a stronger increase in the precipitation efficiency with
warming, which can be explained by higher sensitivity of the droplet size
and the cloud water content to the CO2 concentration rise. These
results indicate a possible connection between cloud feedback and
aerosol–cloud interactions.
High-fidelity retrieval from instantaneous line-of-sight returns of nacelle-mounted lidar including supervised machine learning
Authors: Brown Kenneth A. , Herges Thomas G.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Wind turbine applications that leverage nacelle-mounted
Doppler lidar are hampered by several sources of uncertainty in the lidar
measurement, affecting both bias and random errors. Two problems encountered
especially for nacelle-mounted lidar are solid interference due to
intersection of the line of sight with solid objects behind, within, or in
front of the measurement volume and spectral noise due primarily to
limited photon capture. These two uncertainties, especially that due to
solid interference, can be reduced with high-fidelity retrieval techniques
(i.e., including both quality assurance/quality control and subsequent
parameter estimation). Our work compares three such techniques, including
conventional thresholding, advanced filtering, and a novel application of
supervised machine learning with ensemble neural networks, based on their
ability to reduce uncertainty introduced by the two observed nonideal
spectral features while keeping data availability high. The approach
leverages data from a field experiment involving a continuous-wave (CW)
SpinnerLidar from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) that provided
scans of a wide range of flows both unwaked and waked by a field turbine.
Independent measurements from an adjacent meteorological tower within the
sampling volume permit experimental validation of the instantaneous velocity
uncertainty remaining after retrieval that stems from solid interference and
strong spectral noise, which is a validation that has not been performed
previously. All three methods perform similarly for non-interfered returns,
but the advanced filtering and machine learning techniques perform better
when solid interference is present, which allows them to produce overall
standard deviations of error between 0.2 and 0.3 m s−1, or a 1 %–22 %
improvement versus the conventional thresholding technique, over the rotor
height for the unwaked cases. Between the two improved techniques, the
advanced filtering produces 3.5 % higher overall data availability, while
the machine learning offers a faster runtime (i.e., ∼ 1 s
to evaluate) that is therefore more commensurate with the requirements of
real-time turbine control. The retrieval techniques are described in terms
of application to CW lidar, though they are also relevant to pulsed lidar.
Previous work by the authors (Brown and Herges, 2020) explored a novel
attempt to quantify uncertainty in the output of a high-fidelity lidar
retrieval technique using simulated lidar returns; this article provides
true uncertainty quantification versus independent measurement and does so
for three techniques rather than one.
Consistency test of precipitating ice cloud retrieval properties obtained from the observations of different instruments operating at Dome C (Antarctica)

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Selected case studies of precipitating ice clouds at Dome C (Antarctic Plateau) were used to test a new approach for the estimation of ice cloud reflectivity at 24 GHz (12.37 mm wavelength) using ground-based far infrared spectral measurements from the REFIR-PAD Fourier transform spectroradiometer and backscattering/depolarization lidar profiles. The resulting reflectivity was evaluated with the direct reflectivity measurements provided by a co-located micro rain radar (MRR) operating at 24 GHz, that was able to detect falling crystals with large particle size, typically above 600 µm.
To obtain the 24 GHz reflectivity, we used the particle effective diameter and the cloud optical depth retrieved from the far infrared spectral radiances provided by REFIR-PAD and the tropospheric co-located backscattering lidar to calculate the modal radius and the intercept of the particle size distribution. These parameters spanned in the wide ranges between 570–2400 µm and 10−2–104 cm−5, respectively. The retrieved effective sizes and optical depths mostly varied in the ranges 70–250 µm and 0.1–5, respectively. From these parameters, the theoretical reflectivity at 24 GHz was obtained by integrating the size distribution over different cross sections for various habit crystals provided by Eriksson et al. (2018) databases. From the comparison with the radar reflectivity measurements, we found that the hexagonal column-like habits, the columnar crystal aggregates, and the 5/6 branches bullet rosettes showed the best agreement with the MRR observations. The dispersion coefficient of the crystal particle size distribution was assumed in the range 0–2 according to the temperature dependence found in previous studies. The retrieved values of the intercept and slope were found in good agreement with these studies. The presence of the inferred habits was confirmed by the crystal images taken by the ICE-CAMERA, operating in proximity of REFIR-PAD and the MRR. In particular, the occurrence of hexagonal column-like ice crystals was confirmed by the presence of 22∘ solar halos, detected by the HALO-CAMERA. The average crystal lengths obtained from the retrieved size distribution were also compared to those estimated from the ICE-CAMERA images. The agreement between the two results confirmed that the retrieved parameters of the particle size distributions correctly reproduced the observations.
Detection of slow changes in terrestrial water storage with GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite gravity missions

Published: December 2022

Abstract. The GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) and GRACE Follow-On (FO) satellite gravity missions enable global monitoring of the mass transport within the Earth’s system, leading to unprecedented advances in our understanding of the global water cycle in a changing climate. This study focuses on the quantification of changes in terrestrial water storage based on an ensemble of GRACE and GRACE-FO solutions and two global hydrological models. Significant changes in terrestrial water storage are detected at pluriannual and decadal time -scales in GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite gravity data, that are generally underestimated by global hydrological models. The largest differences (more than 20 cm in equivalent water height) are observed in South America (Amazon, Sao Francisco and Parana river basins) and tropical Africa (Congo, Zambezi and Okavango river basins). Significant differences (a few cm) are observed worldwide at similar timescales, and are generally well correlated with precipitation. While the origin of such differences is unknown, pa rt of it is likely to be climate-related and at least partially due to inaccurate predictions of hydrological models. Slow changes in the terrestrial water cycle may indeed be overlooked in global hydrological models due to inaccurate meteorological forcin g (e.g., precipitation), unresolved groundwater processes, anthropogenic influences, changing vegetation cover and limited calibration/validation datasets. Significant differences between GRACE satellite measurements and hydrological model predictions have been identified, quantified and characterised in the present study. Efforts must be made to better understand the gap between both methods at pluriannual and decadal time-scales, which challenges the use of global hydrological models for the prediction of the evolution of water resources in changing climate conditions.
Impact of the assimilation of water vapour isotopologues on diabatic heating and precipitation in the tropics
Authors: Khosrawi Farahnaz , Toride Kinya , Yoshimura Kei , Diekmann Christopher , Ertl Benjamin , Hase Frank , Schneider Matthias
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The strong coupling between atmospheric circulation, moisture pathways and atmospheric diabatic heating is responsible for most climate feedback mechanisms and controls the evolution of severe weather events. However, diabatic heating rates obtained from current meteorological reanalysis show significant inconsistencies. Here, we theoretically assess with an Observation System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) the potential of the MUlti-platform remote Sensing of Isotopologues for investigating the Cycle of Atmospheric water (MUSICA) Infrared Atmospheric Sounding interferometer (IASI) mid-tropospheric water isotopologue data for constraining uncertainties in meteorological analysis fields. For this purpose, we use the Isotope-incorporated General Spectral Model (IsoGSM) together with a Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF) and assimilate synthetic MUSICA IASI water vapour isotopologue observations. We perform four ensemble simulations, three where synthetic IASI isotopologue and humidity data are assimilated and another one where no observational data at all are assimilated. By comparing the ensemble simulations with data assimilation with water isotopologues to the one without any data assimilation we can, in contrast to the former study by Toride et al. (2021) where additionally conventional observations where considered, assess the direct impact of the IASI δD and water vapour data on the meteorological variables, especially on the heating rates and vertical velocity. The assessment is performed for the tropics in the latitude range from 10° S to 10° N. When the synthetic isotopologue data are assimilated, we derive reduced Root-Mean-Square Deviations (RMSDs) and improved skills with respect to meteorological variables (improvement by about 11–17%). When only IASI δD is assimilated the improvement in vertical velocity and heating rate is minor (up to a few percent) and restricted to the mid-troposphere. However, when water vapour alone or δD is assimilated additionally to water vapour, heating rates and vertical motion can be improved throughout the troposphere. The highest improvements, however, are derived when δD is assimilated additionally to water vapour confirming that water isotopologues hold different aspects of information than water vapour. Thus, in consequence δD offers, especially when assimilated additionally to water vapour, potential for improving diabatic heating and precipitation and thus meteorological analysis, weather forecasts and climate predictions in the tropical regions.
Global climate-related predictors at kilometer resolution for the past and future
Authors: Brun Philipp , Zimmermann Niklaus E. , Hari Chantal , Pellissier Loïc , Karger Dirk Nikolaus
Published: December 2022

Abstract. A multitude of physical and biological processes on which ecosystems and human societies depend are governed by the climate, and
understanding how these processes are altered by climate change is central
to mitigation efforts. We developed a set of climate-related variables at
as yet unprecedented spatiotemporal detail as a basis for environmental and ecological analyses. We downscaled time series of near-surface relative
humidity (hurs) and cloud area fraction (clt) under the consideration of orography and wind as well as near-surface wind speed (sfcWind) using the delta-change
method. Combining these grids with mechanistically downscaled information on
temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation, we then calculated vapor pressure deficit (vpd), surface downwelling shortwave radiation (rsds), potential
evapotranspiration (pet), the climate moisture index (cmi), and site water balance (swb) at a monthly temporal and 30 arcsec spatial resolution globally from 1980 until 2018 (time-series variables). At the same spatial resolution, we
further estimated climatological normals of frost change frequency (fcf), snow
cover days (scd), potential net primary productivity (npp), growing degree days
(gdd), and growing season characteristics for the periods 1981–2010, 2011–2040,
2041–2070, and 2071–2100, considering three shared socioeconomic pathways
(SSP126, SSP370, SSP585) and five Earth system models (projected variables).
Time-series variables showed high accuracy when validated against
observations from meteorological stations and when compared to alternative products. Projected variables were also highly correlated with observations,
although some variables showed notable biases, e.g., snow cover days.
Together, the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ dataset presented here (https://doi.org/10.16904/envidat.332, Brun et al., 2022) allows improvement to
our understanding of patterns and processes that are governed by climate,
including the impact of recent and future climate changes on the world's ecosystems and the associated services on societies.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Over a hundred of experiments were realised between 1998 and 2022 in the Mediterranean Sea using surface Lagrangian drifters, at coastal and offshore level. Raw data were initially unified and pre-processed manually by eliminating spikes and wrong positions or date/time information. The integrity of the received data packages was checked, and incomplete ones were discarded. Deployment information was retrieved from an initial excel database and campaign notes for each drifter and integrated into the PostgreSQL database, realised and maintained by the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) in Trieste (IT). This database also collects a variety of metadata about the drifter model, project, owner and operator. Subsequently data were processed using standard procedures of editing and quality control developed for the OGS Mediterranean drifter dataset to remove spikes generated by malfunctioning of the sensors and obtain files with common characteristics. Drifter data and plots of each track were also visually checked to remove any point not identified by the automatic procedure and clearly erroneous. Drifters’ trajectories were split into two or more segments that have been considered as different deployments, in case of specific drifters' behaviours. Data were interpolated at defined time intervals to temporarily unify tracks. From the original 138 experiments, a dataset of 204 tracks was obtained, available from the public open-access repository in SEANOE (SEA scieNtific Open data Edition) at https://doi.org/10.17882/90537 (Ribotti et al., 2022).
Brief communication: An autonomous UAV for catchment-wide monitoring of a debris flow torrent

Abstract. Debris flows threaten communities in mountain regions worldwide. Combining modern photogrammetric processing with autonomous unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) flights at sub-weekly intervals allows mapping of sediment dynamics in a debris flow catchment. This provides important information for sediment disposition that pre-conditions the catchment for debris flow occurrence. At the Illgraben debris flow catchment in Switzerland, our autonomous UAV launched nearly 50 times in the snow-free periods in 2019–2021 with typical flight intervals of 2–4 d, producing 350–400 images every flight. The observed terrain changes resulting from debris flows exhibit preferred locations of erosion and deposition, including memory effects as previously deposited material is preferentially removed during subsequent debris flows. Such data are critical for the validation of geomorphological process models. Given the remote terrain, the mapped short-term erosion and deposition structures are difficult to obtain with conventional measurements. The proposed method thus fills an observational gap, which ground-based monitoring and satellite-based remote sensing cannot fill as a result of limited access, reaction time, spatial resolution, or involved costs.
Using audiovisual material to teach refusals from a discursive perspective: a research-based proposal
Authors: Usó Juan Esther , Martínez Flor Alicia
Published: December 2022

Refusals are complex face-threatening speech acts whose appropriate performance requires not only lengthy sequences of negotiation and cooperative achievements, but also face-saving strategies to accommodate the disruptive nature of the act (Gass & Houck 1999). Also, since they have a face threatening nature, they are subject to cultural variations. Consequently, care must be taken in the choice of refusal strategies. On that account, this paper first describes the speech act of refusal and reviews findings of empirical interventional studies on this speech act, with particular interest in understanding their methodological choices. Then, it presents the benefits of using audiovisual material for teaching pragmatics in a foreign or a second language instructional context. Finally, relying on excerpts from TV series, an instructional method for teaching refusals at the discourse level is presented. All the designed activities are built upon research-based recommendations for teaching refusals in hopes to provide teachers with resources and ideas for including pragmatics into their language courses.
El realismo inscriptor de Stendhal en Rojo y negro
Authors: Amores Fúster Miguel
Published: December 2022

Stendhal está considerado uno de los primeros grandes escritores realistas europeos porque su escritura adelantó rasgos que posteriormente se convertirían en prototípicos de dicha escuela decimonónica. Aquí reivindicaremos este carácter realista pionero, aunque desde una perspectiva diferente. A través de los conceptos de “documentalidad” de Ferraris y de “gubernamentalidad liberal” de Foucault se defenderá que Stendhal es realista también por el modo en que su narrativa (nos limitaremos a Rojo y negro) reproduce los nuevos modos de establecimiento de la realidad social del siglo XIX. Partiendo de la tesis de Ferraris de que la realidad social se construye en buena medida por la acumulación de actos inscritos, defenderemos que el realismo stendhaliano se concreta también en el modo en que su prosa refleja un mundo ya plenamente capitalista en el que lo real se construye cada vez en mayor medida en función de documentalidades de tipo económico-administrativo en detrimento de las tradicionales, de raíz metafísica.

Mais où sont les proverbes d’antan ? Du Dialogus creaturarum à ses traductions françaises (1482-1550 ca)
Authors: Colombo Timelli Maria
Published: December 2022

Composé en Italie au XIVe siècle, le Dialogus creaturarum fut traduit trois fois en français : deux fois en prose vers la fin du XVe siècle, une fois en vers autour de 1540. Dans ce recueil de 122 fables, les proverbes jouent un rôle majeur : non seulement ils résument la morale de chaque apologue, mais ils en marquent la structure interne, nettement bipartite entre delectare et docere. Cet article essaie de comparer le traitement que les traducteurs réservent aux proverbes, avec une attention particulière pour la dernière version, où l’enchâssement des distiques dans un texte organisé en strophes contribue parfois à leur effacement.

Introduction. Orofacial clefts, is a group of conditions that includes cleft lip, cleft palate, and both together. Symmetry of the face can be obtained with primary nose reconstruction. The goal: Analysis of patients with unilateral complete cleft lip patients treated with or without a primary nasal correction at the time of cleft lip repair were compared to evaluate the relevance of early surgical correction of the nose Material and method. The 5 unilateral cleft subjects were operated on in 2022 by a technique of primary cleft nose correction (PCR), and 5 were operated without primary nose reconstruction (NNC). The anteroposterior and inferior facial appearances of each of the cases have been evaluated. A computer-based method of measuring nasal asymmetry was used to objectively analyze the results and compare them between children with and without primary nasal reconstruction. Measuring was done before and after the surgery and include qualitative and quantitative measurements. Results: The results support the observation that nasal shape become symmetric in children that support primary nasal reconstruction and asymmetric in children without primary nasal reconstruction. Conclusion: Primary nose reconstruction result in better cosmetic outcomes.

The idea of the paper from the state scientific program under the name „Modern personalized surgery in the diagnosis and complex treatment of tumors in children”. In the first stage, the executors conducted statistical research on the incidence of thyroid cancer in children. During 40 years from 18549 cases of nodular thyroid pathology, 1078 cases were detected at children: 105 - (9.7%) with cancer, adenomas 534 (49.5%), toxic nodular goiter 213 (19.7%) , struma Hashimoto 226 (21%),: ratio girl : boys 6: 1. The most affected age is 9-16 years. The highest morbidity is in children aged from 12 to 15 years.The morphological structure of thyroid cancer in children (105 patients) was as follows: first - papillary cancer - 68.6%, the second follicular cancer 23.8%, the third medullary cancer - 5.7% and the fourth anaplastic cancer - 1.9%.The priority goal of the authors was personalized medicine, which involves selecting an appropriate treatment for the patient, depending on the volume of the primary tumor, the morphological type and the biological evolution of the tumor. In the diagnostic plan for the assessment of tumor aggression, the authors will propose immunohistochemical research in assessing the angioinvasive aggression of thyroid carcinomas in children. It is proposed to investigate the expression of thyroiglobulin, keratin and vimentin, peroxidase. Peroxidase expression was studied in 22 children. Thyroglobulin expression was studied in 31 children. And the expression of keratin and vimentin was studied in 16 children [2, 4-6].

Today, many people worldwide suffer from at least one vascular disease, one of these diseases is the hemangioma. A hemangioma is a vascular tumor which, in many cases, requires surgical intervention. Aproximatively 30% of all hemangiomas are visible at birth. It occurs 5 time more often in females than in males, 83% occur on the head and neck area, the remaining 17 % appear throughout to the rest of the body, externally and internally. The biggest problem is the origin of this tumor. Could we understand how a hemangioma forms, we should be able to accelerate its disappearance, or prevent its growth in the first place.

Dental caries affects temporary and permanent teeth, in some cases in a short time after their eruption. Statistical data show that dental caries affecting 71.2-97.1% of the population worldwide new methods for its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Epidemiological studies show that in children with recently erupted teeth, predominates caries of the occlusal. The high prevalence of caries necessitates the study and continuous development of surfaces of the molars. For these reasons, the condition of dental fissures, in terms of the presence of dental plaque or bacterial plaque, is a risk factor for the development of dental caries. Fissure sealing is included by WHO as one of the 4 methods for preventing dental caries.

The article presents the methods of recovery of alveolo-dental gaps in patients with clefts. Grafts from the iliac crest, the symphysis and the mandible branch were collected. Following the research results, the bone grafting provides a support for remodeling the dental arch with an intact periodontium in the cleft area. At the same time, it provides enough bone for implantation. According to clinical and radiological assessments, no significant differences were recorded between these 3 graft materials. Importance is given to the receiving area as well as to the volume of the defect.
