Circling the drain – contemporary jewellery and the tale of the New Zealand Grayling
Authors: Wilkinson Michelle
Published: December 2020

Report from the Art+Water, art and science project 2019.By combining art and science, and producing artworks that demystify and inform, it is possible to take scientific research further than science circles alone and allow the narrative to become part of the public vernacular. The intention is to foster interest, to communicate research findings, to raise questions, to become conversation starters, and to be triggers for further research or behavioural change. This interpretation of specialised scientific data allows for the information to be passed on, releasing the research so it can be understood through the objects themselves, with little or no background knowledge necessary.Contemporary jewellery, as an art form, is well positioned to do this. As a way of connecting people, jewellery can be a powerful means for mobilizing change.1 Once attached to a human host, jewellery has great potential for impact. From the origins of humanity, it has played a role of connectivity through symbolic representation. Its logical connection to the body gives the medium potential to speak of important issues within society.2My work examines how jewellery can act as a form of communication and an agent for change. It shows that the framework of contemporary jewellery has great potential to speak of issues within society and the environment.
“Asunción”: el origen del lenguaje líquido en Samuel Beckett
Authors: Morley Josefina
Published: December 2020

El campo semántico del agua y de los fenómenos que pueden asociársele (la lluvia, la sed, el ahogo) es harto recurrente en la obra de Beckett. Partiendo de la idea de que este imaginario se encuentra ligado a reflexiones en torno al lenguaje, este trabajo se propone como una indagación sobre el complejo aparato metafórico que articula en términos metaliterarios y lingüísticos en sus formulaciones iniciales en “Asunción” (1929), su primer relato, y en Sueño con mujeres que ni fu ni fa, su primera novela, escrita en 1932. El análisis se complementará con una aproximación a la cuestión en la “Carta alemana” de 1937 que Beckett dirige a Axel Kaun. Se parte de la hipótesis de que este imaginario acuático presenta una estrecha vinculación con la concepción sobre el lenguaje en Beckett y, en particular, con su exploración de la expresión del silencio como límite de la literatura en su poética.

БУНІНИМ ВІРШУ А. ТЕННІСОНА «GODIVA» (ПАРАДИГМАТИЧНИЙ АНАЛІЗ ЛЕКСИКИ)
Authors: Проскурин И. А.
Published: December 2020

Мета статті – оцінити ступінь адекватності перекладу І.О. Буніним віршу А. Теннісона «Годіва», що є інтерпретацією відомого наративу про леді Годіву. Як інструмент зіставлення обраний парадигматичний аналіз лексики, в якому предмет опису – слова чи фрагменти тексту, які утворюють системний ряд як визначення одного або подібних понять чи формують пов’язані перцептивні образи в тексті чи сукупності текстів. Система текстових парадигм (гіперпарадигма) – зміст тексту. Процес опису гіперпарадигми – інтерпретація тексту. Привертає увагу те, що образ Годіви є амбівалентним. Ця амбівалентність полягає у співіснуючих пластах буття, в одному з яких Годіва – дружина графа Ковентрі, а в іншому – символ співчуття як аксіологічного лінгвокультурного концепту. На образному рівні це протиставлення Годіви «вдягненої» та Годіви «роздягненої». М.М. Маковський в дослідженні «Феномен ТАБУ у традиціях та у мові індоєвропейців: Сутність, форми, розвиток» зазначає, що «поняття «роздягнений» у давнину співвідносилось з поняттями «світлий» – «блискучий, полум’яний» – «сонячний» – «божествений» – «божественно даний» (співвідношення «палати» – «бути даним» – «бути, існувати»), а також «той, що має надприродну силу». Характер Годіви у тексті-перекладі відрізняється більшим психологічним загостренням. Серед різноманітних варіантів перекладу субстантиву “pity” Бунін не випадково обирає співчуття – чуйне ставлення до чийого-небудь горя, до чиїхось переживань. Вибір «співчуття» зумовлюється прагненням концептуально поглибити підпарадигму МОМЕНТ ПРИЙНЯТТЯ РІШЕННЯ, збагатити її аксіологічно. У перекладі І. О. Буніна зберігається наративна стратегія вихідного тексту. Сутність образів дійових осіб у тексті-перекладі дещо відрізняється від вихідного тексту. Парадигма ЧОЛОВІК ГОДІВИ у тексті-перекладі сприяє конкретності опису основної дійової особи. Чоловік Годіви з «волохатим, немов рука Ісава, серцем» – утілення старозаповітнього «закону». Годіва – утілення аґапе, християнської любові. Проведений аналіз дозволив прийти до висновку про те, що переклад в цілому адекватний оригінальному тексту в збереженні наративних стратегій. Різниця ж, головним чином, полягає в більшій складності парадигматичної організації перекладу в порівнянні з оригіналом, що свідчить про більше багатство його змістовної сторони.
ПАРОДІЯ О.І. КУПРІНА «НА ЗАМОВЛЕННЯ» ЯК «МЕТЕЛІТЕРАТУРА»
Authors: Соценко Н. Ф.
Published: December 2020

В статті вперше аналізується оповідання А.І. Купріна «На замовлення», яке відноситься до двох неавторських циклів як пародія. Текст аналізується з позицій ігрової поетики: встановлюються інтертекстуальні зв’язки між першим і другим планом пародії, встановлена група претекстів, до яких звертається Купрін. У статті досліджуються характерні ознаки ігрової поетики Купріна. Встановлено, що гра з читачем ведеться на композиційному, образному, лексичному і жанровому рівні. Дослідження показало, що ігровий характер творів Купріна передбачає неоднозначне прочитання. Використовуючи метод інтертекстуального аналізу, вдалося встановити, що в якості претекстів пародії Купріна виступають твори як пародійні, так і ті, які сприймаються як не пародії; як прозаїчні, так і віршовані. Встановлено зв’язок пародії Купріна не лише з попередньою, але і з подальшою літературою. Основний зміст дослідження складає аналіз заголовка оповідання-пародії «На замовлення», історії його зміни і встановлення за допомогою цитат і алюзій інтертекстуальних зв’язків з претекстами з метою виявлення другого та третього плану пародії, а також виявлення вертикального літературного контексту. У статті представлена специфічна риса поетики Купріна, перекодування текстів по осі «вірші – проза», трансформація експліцитної пародії в імпліцитну. У статті стверджується, що імпліцитна пародія «На замовлення» є рефлексією Купріна над літературним дискурсом епохи, зокрема календарної (пасхальної) прози, яка відноситься до жанрів зі встановленим каноном. У статті обґрунтовується думка про те, що твір Купріна відноситься до текстів ігрового стилю.

Published: December 2020

The Agricultural Land Mapping System (SPLP) is indispensable in an agricultural country where part of the population is farmers. This system has been developed by the research team since 2019 and has resulted in web and mobile based systems. The Dutatani SPLP system was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. Before this system is further implemented in the community, this system needs to be tested in terms of functionality and usability. This research article aims to compare the functionality and reusability testing of web and mobile-based SPLP. The test was carried out using ISO / IEC 9126-4 usability metrics that focus on effectiveness and efficiency, and involve farmers and farmer groups from Gilang Harjo Village, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The results of testing the web-based and mobile-based SPLP system show that overall respondents can do all the tasks given, but it takes a long time to complete. This is influenced by internal factors of the respondents, namely the respondent's lack of experience in using mobile phones for other activities besides telephone and short messages. So that when testing, respondents need more time to adapt to the system. However, based on time on task, mobile-based SPLP testing is faster than web-based ones.

INTERGRATION OF LANGUAGE TESTING AND ASSESSMENT TERMS FROM ENGLISH INTO RUSSIAN
Authors: Polshina Yu. , Bondareva E.
Published: December 2020

Today language studies are one of the most popular international practices, both for everyday purposes and academic reasons. That is why development and implementation of reliable tools and methods for testing and assessment of language proficiency have become an important goal for instructors and linguists across the globe. To promote a universal understanding of the concepts in this area of knowledge there should exist a comprehensive terminology system of testing and assessment. Borrowing of terms from a more developed terminology system has become a common practice, but whether it always brings satisfactory results remains to be seen. This research paper aims at describing the techniques of integrating English language testing and assessment terms into Russian. In order to establish those techniques we conducted the comparative analysis of the most frequently used English terms on language testing and assessment based on their appearance in specialized texts on the subject and their Russian equivalents. The analysis procedure involved examining the phonetic and orthographic form, definitions and contextual usage of both the original terms and their equivalent borrowed into Russian language. Based on that, we can point out the most productive ways of transferring these terms into Russian, in particular, using calques, half-calques and transformational translation. Those methods prove to be effective in terms of securing the transparency of the meaning and providing a universal understanding of the concepts behind the terms which is necessary for successful communication of the experts in the field on international level and development of valid testing instruments. Nevertheless, integration of some terms is less successful due to the significant discrepancies in meaning between the original and borrowed terms leading to misunderstanding and potentially faulty testing and assessment practices. Therefore, the subject matter of borrowing terms in the abovementioned area shall be addressed in a more thorough fashion, and there should be more studies conducted on this issue.
Intertwined Destinies: Colonization of Indigenious Peoples and Environment in V. S. Naipaul’s in a Free State
Authors: AĞIR Barış
Published: December 2020

Postcolonial ecologies direct our attention to the specially environmental dimensions of literary works by focusing on the often overlooked nonhuman elements, ecological disasters and the inequitable distribution of resources and waste in developing nations. Decolonization has not solved the problems of poverty, corruption, pollution, disorder, and other vices that characterized colonial countries and has brought about little or no significant difference to the predicament of the environment and the masses in postcolonial countries. This situation is vividly demonstrated in Trinidadian-British writer V. S. Naipual’s In a Free State in which environmental problems as well as social issues continue to directly bear on the destiny of indigenous peoples. In this respect, this study discusses how the fate of the environment and indigenous peoples are intertwined, particularly in postcolonial societies with reference to the work of V.S. Naipaul’s novel. The paper engages with the subject of postcolonial ecologies in discussing the relationship between indigenous peoples and the forms of colonization and its impacts that Naipaul describes in the novel. The paper establishes the centrality of indigenous peoples to the modern colonial context while underscoring the continuity of its resulting environmental degradation in the postcolonial context.

Verilerin analizinde SPSS 20 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Toplanılan veriler üzerinde betimsel ki kare ve çoklu regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarına oyuncak seçerken gelişim özelliklerine, fiyatına, kalitesine ve çocuklarının isteklerini göz önünde bulundurarak oyuncak seçtikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca oyuncak seçerken çocuklarının cinsiyetlerine uygun olduğu düşünülen oyuncaklar almayı daha çok tercih etmişlerdir. Aileler çocukları için birçok özelliği göz önünde bulundurarak oyuncak seçmektedir. Özellikle çocuklarının cinsiyetlerine özgü olduğu düşünülen oyuncaklarla oynamalarına daha çok izin verdikleri araştırma sonucunda görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda; ebeveynlerin çocuklarına oyuncak alırken sadece cinsiyetlerine uygun olduğu düşünülen oyuncak almamaları, her iki cinsiyete uygun oyuncak seçmeleri önerilmektedir. Çünkü çocuklar oyun ve oyuncaklar sayesinde hayatı tanımaktadırlar.

Published: December 2020

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have recently gained much attention, due to the low-cost materials and their cheaper manufacturing techniques. However, these cells show a weak response to incident solar photons, resulting in poor power-conversion efficiency. In this paper, we described an improvement to the optical absorption efficiency of DSSCs in the wavelength range between 350 nm and 750 nm using the surface plasmon-resonance effect of plasmonic nanoparticles. Three different structures are studied, including unilayer, bilayer, and trilayer photoanodes based on various core–shell plasmonic spherical nanoparticles made of Ag@TiO2. In all structures, the nanoparticle size is optimized to obtain broadband optical absorption. The absorption efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is significantly improved, from 65.2% to 72.3%, by tuning the photoanode structure from unilayer to trilayer. The results show that a unilayer photoanode with smaller-sized nanoparticles leads to higher absorption, compared to larger sizes. The UV–vis results indicate that mixing large- and small-sized nanoparticles in bi- and trilayer photoanodes is a good approach for improving the light-harvesting efficiency of DSSCs, compared to uniformly distributed nanoparticles. A maximum short-circuit current density of 17.32 mA cm−2 is recorded for a photoanode based on a trilayer structure of Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles.

A COMPARATIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY OF NITROFURANTOIN AND FOSFOMYCIN IN THE TREATMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN NONPREGNANT WOMEN AT A TERTIARY CARE RURAL HOSPITAL, KARNATAKA.
Authors: Bhat Pooja , G Mahendra , Patel Anushree
Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION:
Urinary tract infections are the most common infections seen in the hospital setting and take the second lead after respiratory tract infection in community acquired infections. Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin are older drugs that are being revived and recommended as first-line agents in treating uncomplicated UTI.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
To assess the comparative efficacy of 5day nitrofurantoin versus single dose fosfomycin for clinical resolution in uncomplicated UTI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This randomized clinical trial was conducted from January 2019 to September 2019 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, AIMS, B G Nagara, Mandya, Karnataka. Patients were randomized to either oral nitrofurantoin 100mg twice daily for 5 days or single dose of oral fosfomycin 3g. Baseline urine routine was done. They were followed up at 14(+/-2) and 28(+/-7) days after completion of antibiotic therapy which was considered at day 5 as fosfomycin has long half-life. The data was entered in Microsoft Excel and outcomes were analysed using Epi Info software.
RESULTS:
Out of total 92 patients screened,63 were enrolled and randomized. Thirty-two (50.7%) were given nitrofurantoin and 31 (49.2%) received fosfomycin. Of total enrolled after screening 3 (4.7%) patients were lost to follow-up, so only 60 patients (n=92, 65.2%) comprised the study population.
CONCLUSION:
Five-day nitrofurantoin is superior to single dose fosfomycin in treatment of acute uncomplicated UTI.
ANALYSIS OF SERUM PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN AFTER TURPAND ITS CORRELATION WITH LEVEL OF COMPLETION IN TURP
Authors: Anand Ajay , Gupta Sonam
Published: December 2020

Patients experience marked decline in serum PSA after TURP; thus PSA behaviour after TURP is crucial during patient follow up. It is known that serum PSA levels increase temporarily in first few days following TURP, decreasing gradually afterwards and reaching stable values within 3-6 months. We conducted study to elucidate fall in serum PSA 3 months after TURP; and also to correlate serum PSA with size of prostate.
Methods
The study was conducted in Department of Surgery and Urology, Government Medical College, Jammu from November 2016 till date. During this study period, 40 patients who underwent TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia were enrolled in study. Serum PSA levels were measured preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively.
Results
The mean decline in serum PSA in benign prostate glands following TURP was 66.06%. Resection of 1% of prostate tissue resulted in 2.23% reduction in PSA and resection of one gram of prostate tissue resulted in mean decrease of 0.13±0.7 ng/ml in PSA.
Conclusion
There is significant decrease in serum PSA levels after TURP in BPH patients. PSA level after TURP depends on various factors including pre-operative PSA and prostate volume; and prostate volume resected. There is linear relationship between different resection extent of TURP surgery and declination in serum PSA. After complete TURP with benign histopathologic specimen, PSA should be expected to be within normal reference range; mostly near the value of 1ng/ml. Serum PSA should be monitored at 3 months post TURP to assess the extent of resection of prostate.

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to explore the diagnostic value of CT over RT-PCR in the diagnosis of corona virus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia, especially for patients who have initial negative results of reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia from April 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020, were included. They are initially underwent RT-PCR followed by HRCT thorax after 1 day of negative initial RT-PCR testing. The imaging findings were obtained and compared with CT findings of those patients who have confirmed initial reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing.
RESULTS
Total sixty (40 men, 20 women) patients who have initial negative RT-PCR testing but are highly suspicious for 2019-nCoV infection were included in our study and their age range between 22 years to 70 years. In our study most of the findings were seen involved the multiple( 70%) lobes in both lungs. The main CT features were ground-glass opacity (90%) and consolidation (60%) with a sub pleural (100%) and peri hilar or central distribution. The other CT features included air bronchograms (60%), vascular enlargement and interlobular septal thickening (50%), tree in bud appearance and pleural effusions (10%). when CT of patient with initial negative RT-PCR test were compared with CT of patients with initial positive RT-PCR test , it was found that most of the findings like ground glass opacities and consolidatory changes were also likely present in these group (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Chest CT is an important tools for screening and diagnosing the patients who are initial negative RT-PCR however they are highly suspicious and having symptoms like 2019-nCoV infection.

A 11 year old female was referred from ophthalmology clinic to pulmonary medicine department for further evaluation of a case of unilateral conjunctivitis not responding to treatment as suspected case of conjuctival tuberculosis. In the right eye, bulbar conjunctiva in supranasal quadrant polypoidal appearance was seen and there was subconjunctival cystic nodular mass in the superior conjunctival fornix. Systemic examination was unremarkable. Microbiological and histopathological examination of excision biopsy of the subconjunctival cyst revealed a granulomatous inflammation but acid fast bacilli was negative. Tissue sample was subjected to CBNAAT (Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification technique) examination in which mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected and sensitive to rifampicin. Patient was started on anti tuberculosis treatment under NTEP (national tuberculosis elimination programme) and full remission was achieved with 6 months of anti tuberculosis treatment. Although primary tuberculous conjunctivitis is a very rare condition, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of treatment-resistant unilateral conjunctivitis. For definitive diagnosis, microbiological, histopathological and molecular examinations should be performed in conjunctival samples.

Authors: Mukherji Sushmita , Dasgupta Sibaji , Karmakar Soumen
Published: December 2020

Background: A Worldwide concern, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by a novel coronavirus termed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been also found to be associated with ocular signs and symptoms. Apart from being transmitted among close contacts via respiratory droplets, it is being considered that ocular mucosa, its secretions can also be responsible for transmission.
Aims and objectives: To see the different ocular manifestations in patients admitted with COVID-19 infection at a tertiary care hospital along with presence of the virus in ocular secretions.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study on 80 patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive results and followed up during their hospital stay in COVID isolation wards, till discharge or death within a time period from 15th April,2020 to 10th August,2020.
Results: Out of the 80 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients studied, 10(12.5%) patients had conjunctival chemosis, 8(10%) patients had conjunctival hyperaemia,12(15%) patients had epiphora and 9(11.25%) patients had increased ocular discharge. 5(6.25%) patients had positive results for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR in both conjunctival as well as nasopharyngeal swabs.
Conclusion: Ocular involvement can be one of the different systemic involvements of SARS-CoV-2 infection and ocular secretion can be a potential source of transmission of the virus. Hence, ocular protection in the form of spectacles or face shields must be undertaken apart from the other barriers to reduce the possible chances of transmission of the disease.

Health insecurity is a major problem affecting the well-being of internally displaced persons in Nigeria. In the Niger Delta region, the situation remains virulent with attendant consequences on the displaced population. This study investigated health insecurity among the internally displaced persons. Data were sourced across three States of the Niger Delta Region, identified among areas with a high rate of internal displacement. Human Security Approach was employed as a theoretical framework. A total of 582 respondents (Bayelsa = 206, Delta = 211, and Rivers = 165) who had been displaced between the year 2012 to 2018 were randomly selected, and a questionnaire was administered. Findings indicated that 51.9% of respondents in Delta state, 50.0% in Rivers state, and 35.7% in Bayelsa state were diagnosed with diseases resulting from flood displacement. The diseases diagnosed were high blood pressure, cholera, hernia, malaria, measles, tuberculosis, and typhoid. While the diagnosis of blood pressure was high in Bayelsa (3.9%) and Delta (3.5%), the diagnosis of cholera was not recorded in Bayelsa and Delta States but Rivers state (3.4%). Those displaced by flood were 0.4 times less likely to experience abnormal health status than those displaced by other causes. The study concluded that displacement has serious implications on the health of internally displaced persons. It, therefore, recommended that medical centres should be cited in displaced camps to cater for the medical needs of the displaced population.
Corruption and Healthcare Delivery: Towards a Progressive Intervention in Nigerian Correctional Centres
Authors: Ahmad Ahmad Hassan , Koya Muktar M.
Published: December 2020

Corruption is a complex and multifaceted challenge of global concern. The correctional setting in Nigeria is not exempted from the more general context of this issue. Nigeria has a poorly structured service for correctional healthcare system driven by a collection of socioeconomic and legal factors especially corruption. One of the pressing challenges in Nigerian public health is to provide services to those who need them the most, particularly those behind bars and therefore hard to reach. Yet, it remains obvious that, a significant majority of those with health problems are incarcerated in the correctional centers of Nigeria. This study which is anchored on Economic Theory of Corruption examined corrupt practices associated with healthcare delivery in Kano Central and Goron Dutse Correctional Centers. The study utilized quantitative and qualitative methods in eliciting data from convicted and awaiting trial inmates and healthcare providers. Thus, a total of 350 inmates were sampled across convicts and awaiting trial inmates through the simple random sampling technique using Wiseman’s 1999 table of sample size. In addition, two respondents (healthcare officials) were purposively sampled for in-depth interview. The findings revealed some level of negation especially as it concerns referrals and the inmates’ treatment charges outside the correctional setting. The study recommends the need for complete overhaul of the correctional healthcare delivery system in line with recommended global best practices.
A hazai útpályaszerkezetek energiaszükségletének vizsgálata
Authors: Szpotowicz Réka
Published: December 2020

Az építési folyamatok energiaigényének csökkentése egyaránt gazdasági és fenntarthatósági előnyökkel bír. A cikk célja az útpályaszerkezetek energiaigényének vizsgálata, annak eredményének bemutatása. Ehhez a cikk összegyűjtött szakirodalmak alapján meghatározta a különböző építési folyamatok energiaigényeit, valamint egy esettanulmányon keresztül összehasonlítja a magyar előírásoknak megfelelően (UME) mind aszfalt, mind betonburkolattal megtervezett autópályaszakasz energiaigényét, figyelembevéve a folyamatokat a nyersanyag kitermelésétől a pályaszerkezet építéséig. Az esettanulmány eredményeként látható, hogy a betonburkolatok energiaszükséglete közel 60%-kal nagyobb, mint az aszfaltburkolatoké. Ennek oka a portlandcement gyártásának kimagaslóan magas energiaigénye, melyet az egyéb építési folyamatok nem tudtak árnyalni.

Published: December 2020

Az üveghab granulátum hazánkban még kevéssé ismert anyag, amit üveghulladékból állítanak elő. Az üveghabot táblásított formában hőszigetelő anyagként használják, azonban granulátum formában földműanyagként is alkalmazható. A skandináv országokban utak alatti átfagyás elleni hőszigetelésre használják, hazánkban eddig épületek padlója alatti hőszigetelő ágyazatként került alkalmazásra. A hazai útépítési földműveknél alapvetően alacsony halmazsűrűsége miatt lehetne előnyösen használni. Az üveghab granulátum földművek tervezéséhez , építéséhez szükséges mechanikai tulajdonságai kerültek meghatározásra, amikkel különböző útépítési földművek építése került modellezésre végeselemes programokkal. A számítógépes vizsgálatok alapján az üveghab granulátum kis halmazsűrűségét kihasználva hatékonyan csökkenthető a töltések alatti altalaj süllyedés és minimalizálható az ehhez szükséges konszolidációs idő. Az üveghabot háttöltés anyagként felhasználva számottevően csökkenthető a hídfőkre háruló vízszintes földnyomás értéke, ami miatt kisebb nyomatékok és nyíróerők adódnak a hídfőben és az alapozásként szolgáló cölöpökben. A cikk a kutatás során meghatározott mechanikai jellemzőket és azok segítségével végzett útépítési mintaszámításokat mutatja be.
Bancada Evangélica

Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar se os deputados ligados à Bancada Evangélica (BE) integram a elite parlamentar brasileira e ocupam espaços de poder no Congresso Nacional. A hipótese é a de que tanto pelo seu tamanho, quanto pela exposição midiática que alcançam seus membros e suas agendas, a BE consegue impor nomes nas posições estratégicas da Câmara Federal e participar das tomadas de decisão sobre os temas centrais da agenda do poder legislativo. Para dar conta desta hipótese, se identificou se os parlamentares evangélicos 1. ocuparam cargos relevantes nas Mesas Diretoras e nas Comissões Permanente e 2. foram citados na pesquisa “Os cabeças do Congresso Nacional”. Como resultado, conclui-se que, a despeito de seu tamanho e visibilidade, os deputados evangélicos, em sua grande maioria, não fazem parte da elite do Congresso Nacional.

Authors: Beni Sabinus
Published: December 2020

Penelitian dilakukan di Dusun Jambu Desa Semirau Kecamatan Jangkang Kabupaten Sanggau dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang dilakukan melalui terjun langsung ke lapangan untuk melakukan wawancara dengan tetua adat setempat. Penelitian dilakukan untuk menggambarkan secara jelas siklus tahunan budaya Dayak Djongkakng, dimana kondisi saat ini para generasi muda sudah mulai melupakan tahapan siklus tersebut dan cenderung berfokus pada acara gawai sebagai bagian yang sangat ditunggu untuk berpesta. Siklus ini dimulai dari pemilihan lahan pertanian hingga sampai pada masa panen dan dilakukannya acara gawai sebagai ucapan syukur kepada Tuhan. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara, banyak generasi muda yang tidak mengetahui siklus tahunan budaya Dayak Djongkakng selama satu tahun dikarenakan: pengaruh perkembangan zaman yakni televisi, smartphone, media sosial dan tidak adanya kurikulum pendidikan muatan lokal terkait adat dan budaya lokal serta kesadaran generasi muda dalam keingintahuannya akan tradisi adat dan budaya.

Empatía hacia la pareja como mediador del efecto del apego en el perdón y el resentimiento
Authors: Rosales Sarabia Rodrigo Miguel , Rivera Aragón Sofía , Barajas Márquez Miriam Wendolyn
Published: December 2020

El estilo de apego es un predictor consistente del perdón, y se ha sugerido que la empatía media tal efecto. No obstante, las investigaciones que lo han puesto a prueba en algunos casos solo usan medidas de empatía como rasgo, en otras no miden el apego seguro, y consideran al perdón y resentimiento como los extremos del mismo continuo. Basado en estas disyuntivas en las investigaciones, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el papel mediador de la empatía hacia la pareja en el efecto del estilo de apego sobre el perdón y el resentimiento. Participaron 264 adultos mexicanos involucrados en una relación de pareja. Mediante modelos de mediación simple, se encontró que la empatía media los efectos del apego seguro en el perdón y el resentimiento, pero solo cuando los modelos incluyeron la sabiduría empática y/o la toma de perspectiva como mediadores. Tales hallazgos contribuyen a una comprensión precisa de la relación entre las variables.
