Authors: Motos Sellés Patricia , Cortés Tomás María Teresa , Giménez Costa José Antonio , Martín Del Río Beatriz
Published: March 2021

Existen factores de personalidad que se encuentran relacionados con la práctica del binge drinking (BD) entre la población universitaria, patrón de consumo asociado a graves implicaciones biopsicosociales. En este estudio se pretende explorar la relación de las dimensiones y facetas de la personalidad en función del nivel de gravedad del BD. 601 estudiantes de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche entre 18 y 20 años (64.1% mujeres) cumplimentaron un autorregistro del patrón de consumo y la adaptación española del NEO-PI-R. Los grupos de hombres y mujeres BD se clasificaron según la intensidad y frecuencia del consumo. Los resultados muestran la existencia de ciertas relaciones entre algunas facetas de personalidad y los diferentes tipos de consumidores BD. Concretamente, en los varones que realizan BD con mayor regularidad se recomienda atender a las facetas de las dimensiones de Apertura y Amabilidad. En las mujeres BD sería relevante intervenir en las facetas de la dimensión de Neuroticismo, sobre todo la Impulsividad entre las consumidoras más extremas. Por último, sería importante trabajar aspectos relacionados con la faceta de Búsqueda de Sensaciones en los varones que consumen mayores cantidades.

Published: March 2021

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación se han convertido en herramientas indispensables en la sociedad actual, especialmente para los adolescentes. En la literatura, los estudios que han evaluado las diferencias en función del sexo en el uso de internet han obtenido resultados dispares. El objetivo de este trabajo, mediante una metodología cuantitativa, fue analizar el uso problemático de Internet y las diferencias de sexo existentes en un grupo de menores de entre 9-16 años. Los participantes fueron 1061 estudiantes (47.5% hombres y 52.5% mujeres) con una media de edad de 13 años (DT= 1.73). Estos respondieron a la escala EUPI-a: Escala de Uso Problemático de Internet en adolescentes (Rial, Gómez, Isorna, Araujo y Varela, 2015b). Los resultados encontrados indican que, a pesar de que los chicos presentan una puntuación y prevalencia mayor que las chicas, únicamente se observan diferencias significativas en relación a la duración de la conexión a Internet, la preferencia sobre el desconocimiento de los padres sobre las horas que pasan en la red y el fastidio que supone pasar horas sin conectarse. Se discute la importancia de considerar estas diferencias, ya que pueden indicar la existencia de factores de riesgo y protección diferenciales en función del sexo. Asimismo, a nivel de screening se señalan algunas de las conductas y percepciones relacionadas con el uso problemático de Internet que están menos extendidas entre los y las adolescentes, y que por tanto pueden tomarse como indicadores de riesgo. Por último, la posible transferencia para el diseño y/o ajuste de las intervenciones preventivas.

Published: March 2021

El consumo conjunto y paralelo de tabaco y cannabis es un fenómeno de tendencia creciente, especialmente entre los jóvenes, y que contiene importantes implicaciones clínicas que conviene clarificar a la vista de la diversidad de pautas de abordaje existentes. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de carácter descriptivo o cualitativo sobre el tratamiento del consumo de tabaco y cannabis. De la revisión realizada se concluyen varias recomendaciones: el abordaje conjunto de ambos consumos, la orientación a la abstinencia completa e indefinida, la individualización del tratamiento y la atención a los diversos objetivos parciales. Entre los tratamientos psicológicos, está bien establecida la efectividad de la entrevista motivacional, la terapia cognitivo-conductual y la terapia de incentivo con refuerzo comunitario. Entre los tratamientos farmacológicos, cuenta con evidencia el uso de sustitutivos de nicotina, bupropion y vareniclina para la dependencia del tabaco; en el caso del cannabis, no existen medicamentos aprobados, si bien existen líneas de trabajo interesantes con naltrexona, n-acetilcisteína, gabapentina y agonistas cannabinoides. Finalmente, los últimos años han visto una eclosión de aplicaciones móviles (mHealth) que ofrecen importantes ventajas y que han sido ya objeto de revisión sistemática.

Published: March 2021

Background: Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a 3-dimensional deformity that involves not only curve in the coronal and sagittal planes but also rotation of vertebrae based on pedicle rotation. The Cobb’s angle is  the gold standard for measuring the lateral curve that could show severity of the spine deformity. The Cobb’s method only evaluate the lateral curve,and the method to determine the pedicle rotation can be used the Nash and Moe’s method.The higher pedicle rotation grade had higher Cobb’s angle. Surgical treatment for scoliosis is indicated for the curve exceeding 40o. Posterior spinal fusion is the most commonly used technique in scoliosis surgery.Objective: To identify the correlation between the Cobb’s Angle and pedicle rotation in AIS after surgical treatment.Methods: The research design used in this study was Cross Sectional. The sample size of this study were 22 subjects using purposive sampling, the independent variable of this study was Cobb’s angle while the dependent variable was pedicle rotation. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between variable.Results: The spearman’s rank correlation revealed a significant correlation between the Cobb’s Angle and pedicle rotation in AIS after surgical treatment with the  p 0,005 and r 0,462.Conclusion: This study demonstrates there is a significant correlation between Cobb’s angle and pedicle rotation in AIS after surgical treatment with medium strength.

Published: March 2021

Background: Smartphone users can be found in almost every class society in Indonesia. Excessive use of smartphones and the blue light emitted by smartphones play an important role in causing asthenopia symptoms. Smartphone development companies have developed a blue light filter feature, which is expected to reduce the incidence of Asthenopia symptoms.Objective: To evaluate the Asthenopia questionnaire's comparison results before and after smartphone use with various levels of opacity in the blue light filter.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental pre-posttest study. The research subjects were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University (n = 30), selected by purposive sampling. In this study, research subjects saw an hour-long smartphone with a predetermined opacity level for the blue light filter, with the same room lighting. Before and after the treatment, the subjects were asked to fill out the Asthenopia questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, Mann Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: The results of the Asthenopia questionnaire before and after using a smartphone with a blue light filter opacity level of 0% and 100% showed a significant difference in results (p <0.05), and there was no significant difference for the pre-posttest using a smartphone with a blue light filter with 50% opacity level. The comparison results of the Asthenopia questionnaire between smartphone use with the opacity level of the blue light filter 0% and 50% only showed a significant difference in sore/aching eye symptoms. The comparison results of the Asthenopia questionnaire between smartphone use with the opacity level of the blue light filter 50% and 100% only showed a significant difference in sleepy eye symptoms. The comparison results of the Asthenopia questionnaire between smartphone use with the opacity level of the blue light filter 0%, 50%, and 100%, did not show a significant difference.Conclusion: There were no significant differences between the Asthenopia questionnaire results with 0%, 50%, and 100% opacity blue light filters after one hour of smartphone use.
Dynamic interleaving of content and structure for robust indexing of semi-structured hierarchical data
Authors: Wellenzohn Kevin , Böhlen Michael H. , Helmer Sven
Published: March 2021

We propose a robust index for semi-structured hierarchical data that supports content-and-structure (CAS) queries specified by path and value predicates. At the heart of our approach is a novel dynamic interleaving scheme that merges the path and value dimensions of composite keys in a balanced way. We store these keys in our trie-based Robust Content-And-Structure index, which efficiently supports a wide range of CAS queries, including queries with wildcards and descendant axes. Additionally, we show important properties of our scheme, such as robustness against varying selectivities, and demonstrate improvements of up to two orders of magnitude over existing approaches in our experimental evaluation.
Biclustering and boolean matrix factorization in data streams
Authors: Neumann Stefan , Miettinen Pauli
Published: March 2021

We study clustering of bipartite graphs and Boolean matrix factorization in data streams. We consider a streaming setting in which the vertices from the
left
side of the graph arrive one by one together with all of their incident edges. We provide an algorithm which after one pass over the stream recovers the set of clusters on the
right
side of the graph using sublinear space; to the best of our knowledge this is the first algorithm with this property. We also show that after a second pass over the stream the left clusters of the bipartite graph can be recovered and we show how to extend our algorithm to solve the Boolean matrix factorization problem (by exploiting the correspondence of Boolean matrices and bipartite graphs). We evaluate an implementation of the algorithm on synthetic data and on real-world data. On real-world datasets the algorithm is orders of magnitudes faster than a static baseline algorithm while providing quality results within a factor 2 of the baseline algorithm. Our algorithm scales linearly in the number of edges in the graph. Finally, we analyze the algorithm theoretically and provide sufficient conditions under which the algorithm recovers a set of planted clusters under a standard random graph model.
Effective and efficient relational community detection and search in large dynamic heterogeneous information networks
Authors: Jian Xun , Wang Yue , Chen Lei
Published: March 2021

Community search in heterogeneous information networks (HINs) has attracted much attention in graph analysis. Given a vertex, the goal is to find a densely-connected sub-graph that contains the vertex. In practice, the user may need to restrict the number of connections between vertices, but none of the existing methods can handle such queries. In this paper, we propose the relational constraint that allows the user to specify fine-grained connection requirements between vertices. Base on this, we define the relational community as well as the problems of detecting and searching relational communities, respectively. For the detection problem, we propose an efficient solution that has near-linear time complexity. For the searching problem, although it is shown to be NP-hard and even hard-to-approximate, we devise two efficient approximate solutions. We further design the round index to accelerate the searching algorithm and show that it can handle dynamic graphs by its nature. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world graphs are conducted to evaluate both the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed methods.
Data stream event prediction based on timing knowledge and state transitions
Authors: Li Yan , Ge Tingjian , Chen Cindy
Published: March 2021

We study a practical problem of predicting the upcoming events in data streams using a novel approach. Treating event time orders as relationship types between event entities, we build a dynamic knowledge graph and use it to predict future event timing. A unique aspect of this knowledge graph embedding approach for prediction is that we enhance conventional knowledge graphs with the notion of "states"---in what we call the ephemeral state nodes---to characterize the state of a data stream over time. We devise a complete set of methods for learning relevant events, for building the event-order graph stream from the original data stream, for embedding and prediction, and for theoretically bounding the complexity. We evaluate our approach with four real world stream datasets and find that our method results in high precision and recall values for event timing prediction, ranging between 0.7 and nearly 1, significantly outperforming baseline approaches. Moreover, due to our choice of efficient translation-based embedding, the overall throughput that the stream system can handle, including continuous graph building, training, and event predictions, is over one thousand to sixty thousand tuples per second even on a personal computer---which is especially important in resource constrained environments, including edge computing.
A Comparison of Wolff’s and Kant’s Receptions of Emanuel Swedenborg
Authors: Follesa Laura
Published: March 2021

Kant’s Dreams of a Spirit-Seer (1766) did not provide the sole perspective through which Emanuel Swedenborg’s work was known in Germany in the eighteenth century. Before Kant, another German philosopher was interested in Swedenborg from a completely different perspective: Christian Wolff. On the one hand, this paper analyzes the meaning of Wolff’s anonymous reviews of Swedenborg’s early writings published in Acta Eruditorum, the authorship of which was only recently discovered, in order to show Swedenborg’s intertwinement with German scholars during the 1720s. On the other, I juxtapose Kant’s and Wolff’s evaluations of Swedenborg’s work at the origins of their different attitudes towards fundamental problems such as the nature of the soul and immortality.
Contra Static Dispositions
Authors: Buckareff Andrei A. , Andrews Marc , Brennan Shane
Published: March 2021

Work on dispositions focuses chiefly on dispositions that are manifested in dynamic causal processes. Williams, Neil. 2005. “Static and Dynamic Dispositions.” Synthese 146: 303–24 has argued that the focus on dynamic dispositions has been at the expense of a richer ontology of dispositions. He contends that we ought to distinguish between dynamic and static dispositions. The manifestation of a dynamic disposition involves some change in the world. The manifestation of a static disposition does not involve any change in the world. In this paper, we concede that making a conceptual distinction between dynamic and static dispositions is useful and we allow that we can truthfully represent objects as manifesting static dispositions. However, we argue that the distinction is not ontologically deep. Rather, the truthmakers for our representations of static dispositions are actually dynamic dispositions to whose manifestations we may fail to be sensitive.

Performing Deference in Ahiqar: The significance of a Politics of Resistance in the Narrative and Proverbs of Ahiqar
Authors: Southwood Katherine
Published: March 2021

This article argues that subtle resistance to power was all-important in Ahiqar and this was highlighted through interpreting the narrative and poetic sections symbiotically. This resistance to power, however, was hidden in Ahiqar, embedded in ironic twists on traditionally expected roles, and in the display of obedience, deference, and loyalty that is performed in the face of the king’s power. The article suggested that Ahiqar was performed to audiences at Elephantine and that a potential way for Elephantine audiences to interpret Ahiqar was in light of Persian dominance.
Whose Ḥaṭṭāʾt? Aaron’s Enigmatic Response to Moses in Lev 10:19
Authors: MacDonald Nathan
Published: March 2021

Aaron’s enigmatic response to Moses’ accusation of cultic malpractice in the disposal of the remains of the ḥaṭṭāt (Lev 10:19) has puzzled exegetes since antiquity. Recent interpreters have concluded that it is not possible to understand Aaron’s reasoning and that his response emphasizes the priesthood’s mystique and its claim to a qualified freedom in interpreting Mosaic law. In contrast, I argue that the crux interpretum can be resolved when we pay particular attention to the pronominal suffixes attached to the word חטאת.
Semiclassical study on photodetachment of hydrogen negative ion in a harmonic potential confined by a quantum well
Authors: Wang De-hua
Published: March 2021

We have studied the photodetachment dynamics of the H− ion in a harmonic potential confined in a quantum well for the first time. The closed orbits of the detached electron in a confined harmonic potential are found and the photodetachment spectra of this system are calculated. It is interesting to find that the photodetachment spectra depend sensitively on the size of the quantum well and the harmonic frequency. For smaller size of the quantum well, the harmonic potential can be considered as a perturbation, the interference effect between the returning electron wave bounced back by the quantum well and the initial outgoing wave is very strong, which makes the photodetachment spectra exhibits an irregular saw-tooth structure. With the increase of the size of the quantum well, the photodetachment spectra oscillates complicatedly in the higher energy region. For very large size of the quantum well, the photodetachment spectra approach to the case in a free harmonic potential, which is a regular saw-tooth structure. In addition, the harmonic frequency can also affect the photodetachment spectra of this system greatly. Our work provides a new method for the study of spatially confined low-dimensional systems and may guide the future experimental research for the photodetachment dynamics in the ion trap.
«Die fesselndsten Arbeitsstätten» in der illustrierten (Unternehmens-)Presse
Authors: Mysliwietz-Fleiß Daniela
Published: March 2021

The second half of the «long» 19th century appeared to be a period of both rapid economic and medial change in western societies. Large corporations, that often seemed obscure to the public in their complexity and with their mass-production, emerged. Mass production, alongside a less rigid censorship and an enlarged readership also had an impact on the press market, as more and more differentiated media products came into being, the most prominent among them being the illustrated magazine with its multimodal character. As large-scale organizations had a special need of translating their purposes to the public but were in need of public support at the same time, it seems rather natural that alongside other methods they looked for these media products for support or tried to apply their characteristics to own means of communication. Therefore, the presence of corporations within illustrated magazines as well as the presence of illustrated magazines within corporations is to be examined more closely.
Medien zum Selbermachen Der Baumarkt als Ort des medialisierten Einkaufs seit den 1970er Jahren
Authors: Voges Jonathan
Published: March 2021

Starting in the late 1960s and even more pronounced in the 70s, West-Germany saw an increasing number of hardware stores being founded. Since the idea behind the integrated Do-it-yourself-retail-store originated in the United States, it had to be adapted to suit Western-German circumstances. The problem that hardware-store owners faced right from the beginning, was, that the articles in their stores did not represent finished consumer goods, but rather goods that were meant to be turned into such by being used by the customer. Furthermore, until late in the 70s the products on offer were unfamiliar and in need of explanation to the German customers and therefore consulting intensive. In order to reduce the need for customer advisory, but still offer an attractive shopping experience and moreover to make clear, that the store offers not only products, but solutions to a range of different problems, the store owners, their franchise centers and their trade-association focused their efforts on the use of new technologies. It was the video technology that developed a leading role in this effort: By using this technology, stores were able to combine the offer of entertaining media, explanations to the usage of their products in action (which in turn reduced the need for customer advisory) and illustrations of the features of the DIY-products on offer. Starting in the mid-70s, this led to the production of films, which were shown on infinite loop in the hardware-stores.
Nation Branding in Two Major Serbian Music Festivals, Exit and Guča
Authors: Gligorijević Jelena
Published: March 2021

This article looks into the nation branding phenomenon surrounding two major Serbian music festivals, Exit and Guča, in the post-Milošević era. The departure point of analysis is the once-dominant national identity narrative of Two Serbias, by which Exit (as a purveyor of Western-style popular music) and Guča (as the self-proclaimed guardian of the Serbian brass-band tradition) were pitted against one another as representatives of Two Serbias, one looking towards the West, and the other towards the East. Moving away from this obsolete model of interpretation, this article examines the effects that the inception of nation branding in Serbian public discourse has produced on the local perception of each festival as well as on Serbian national identity within the broader contexts of post-socialist transition, the EU integration, and globalization. It also analyzes the ways in which the principles of market economy and branding practice are being “bastardized” in both festivals, resulting in what Mladen Lazić (2003) calls normative-value dissonance. Nation branding has forged a more unified view of Exit and Guča as national brands that ostensibly improve the international image of the country but which in reality deplete both festivals of their initial cultural and political potency. Ultimately, however, the proof of normative-value dissonance in Exit and Guča supports the argument that nation branding in these two festivals feeds back into earlier Balkanist discourse on Serbia’s indeterminate position between West and East; and it does so in a way that provides little hope for alternative visions of the nation’s future.
Morbo, lucha libre, and Television: The Ban of Women Wrestlers from Mexico City in the 1950s
Authors: Van Bavel Marjolein
Published: March 2021

This article examines the emergence of the ban on women wrestlers from the sporting spectacle of lucha libre in Mexico City in the 1950s. Set against broader moral preoccupations about the growing popularity and visibility of lucha libre in Mexican society as a result of its broadcasting on television, luchadoras were seen as examples of transgressive femininity, which rendered attempts to make them invisible necessary. This work joins the efforts of scholars who write the history of women’s participation and exclusion from sporting activities and contributes to the growing fields of sports studies and studies of mass culture within Mexico.
Learning Biology for Sustainable Development Using Hands-On Strategy: Can Gender Achievement Gap Reduce?
Authors: Onanuga Peter Abayomi , Saka Adewale Owodunni , Ogwokhademhe Rita Pelumi
Published: March 2021

Despite the importance of \biology for sustainable development, studentsâ€™ performance in the subject has been inconsistent. Several interventions have been used to improve studentsâ€™ learning of Biology but the inconsistency in performance persists. Thus, this study investigated the use of hands-on learning in enhancing studentsâ€™ academic achievement. The research adopted a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental research design with 2x2 factorial. The study also examined the moderating effect of gender on academic achievement. Fifty-eight students offering Biology in the intact classes of two randomly selected schools participated in the study. The data was collected using a 25-item Biology Achievement Test for Students (BATS) subjected to face and content validities, and reliability test. The test-retest reliability method yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.68. The data analyses revealed a significant difference in the effect of strategy on the academic achievement of students in Biology (F (1,53) =8.595), p=0.05, but in favour of the conventional method of teaching. Further findings showed no significant difference in the effect of gender on the academic achievement of students (F (1,53) = 0.980), p>0.05. The researchers noted that hand-on activities are important for Biology learning and recommended that school authorities should allocate adequate time for that purpose.
AVALIACIÓN DO MARCO LEGAL PARA O EMPRENDEMENTO SOCIAL EN AMÉRICA E EUROPA
Authors: LÓPEZ-CÓZAR NAVARRO Cristina , PRIEDE BERGAMINI Tiziana , RODRÍGUEZ LÓPEZ Ángel
Published: March 2021

O emprendemento social é un movemento que comezou en Norteamérica durante os anos 1980 do pasado século, mentres que en Europa a orixe é paralela ao xurdimento da chamada economía social. O emprendedor social solidario é un tipo de emprendedor que identifica unha oportunidade de negocio que trata de solventar un problema social mediante unha solución innovadora e creativa, baseada nunha boa idea e na elaboración dun proxecto empresarial. Non é o mesmo que unha obra benéfica ou a filantropía, e non se limita a actividades sen ánimo de lucro, pero pode ser o tipo de modelo empresarial motivado pola necesidade de axudar a outros e levar a cabo un cambio social. É dicir, a chave para o enfoque do empredemento social, como dixemos, está na creación dun valor social sostible. A expansión do emprendemento social precisa da creación dun marco legal favorable para fomentar esta actividade económica especial. Como resposta ás necesidades dos emprendedores sociais, algúns países instituíron estruturas legais capaces de combinar unha empresa orientada a xerar beneficios coa procura dun obxectivo social. Este artigo analiza o actual contexto legal que rixe as empresas solidarias nos diferentes países de América e Europa, e describe as principais denominacións legais que mellor cumpren coas necesidades dos novos emprendedores sociais.

La Stanza nella Teoria della Lingua in Atto
Authors: Saccone Valentina
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a corpus-based analysis of Italian spontaneous speech in the theoretical framework of Language into Act Theory (Cresti 2000; Cresti & Moneglia 2010; Moneglia & Raso 2014). A selection of IPIC database (Panunzi & Gregori 2012) has been studied to describe the syntactic behaviors of specific structures named stanzas. Stanzas are terminated sequences prosodically recognizable in the speech flow as chains of nuclei on the same prosodic level. This structure marks nearly 10% of the spoken communication and it is typical of monologues, stories, and life narrations. The analysis shows an additive and flat syntax mostly composed by chained clauses and juxtapositions, without a hierarchical order: stanzas are usually formed by main clauses one after the other or connected through coordinative conjunctions; subordination is not so common and mostly in the form of causal or relative subordinate clauses.
La competenza fraseologica in italiano lingua straniera tra i livelli elementare e intermedio

Phraseology constitutes an indisputably important area of language proficiency. Among the methods devised to explore this domain, semiautomated analysis of learner corpora has yielded important findings, especially in the case of intermediate and advanced levels. This paper investigates phraseological competence in Italian as a Foreign Language between the A2 and B1 levels of the CEFR. We collected 160 texts based on different combinations of task difficulty and learner level and we compared, through two-way Anova tests, the different groups. Results show that A2 leaners produce more non-collocational bigrams with respect to other groups, but when they attempt a B1 task they experience difficulty in producing high frequency bigrams. Implications for instruction and further research are discussed.

Authors: Dimitrova Nikolina
Published: March 2021

An “active” experiment has been realized for cinematic and dynamographic analyses of the motor action with one of the basic judo techniques of Kyu-dan system Seoi nage. From one hand the general common and legal principles assuring the success of the technique are respected and the individual particularities demonstrated during the performance of elite sportsman. The aim of the present work is research and realization of complex biomechanical analyses of the technique Seoi nage. The cinematic characteristics are assessed from quantity point of view with the help of videocomputing methods and the dynamic ones by using measurement of the supporting reactions on the dynamograhic platform. Two elite competitors for whom Seoi nage represents the basic technique are taking part in the research. The results followed the performance are common biomechanical regularities and important individual particularities in the sport technical mastership. The obtained results are followed by questions to the training process concerning the measurement between the standards and the individualization of the sport technical mastership.

The off-campus education in Bulgarian language and Sports is part of the preparatory school year of international students wishing to study in the medical specialties of Medical University - Sofia. The program includes Bulgarian classes, winter sports - skiing and hiking, and table tennis. The event is attended by current students from the Medical University of Sofia, which contributes to the socialization of international students and community formation.
The primary method of work is an anonymous survey with six questions that require specific answers. It covers various essential questions about the students' sport - recreational knowledge and needs, which will provide guidance for improving the organization and program content of the training delivered. It was held after the completion of the Bulgarian language and sports training in the town of Bansko in the period from 02 -09.02.2019.
We have set the following tasks:
1) to study the students' opinion on the main objectives of the off-campus training, on sporting events, and
2) to draw conclusions and recommendations for the future implementation and optimization of the off-campus training.
The following conclusions were made:
1. After successfully completing the initial ski and hiking training of students, most of them appreciate the benefits of outdoor activities as beneficial to health and as accessible to future independent activities.
2. The off-campus training organized for Bulgarian and an international student creates good conditions for socialization and building a more cohesive community.
3. Through such events, lecturers acquire greater organizational experience in working with students and optimizing their sessions.
The Early Islamic Pottery from the Monastery at al-Qusur
Authors: Bonnéric Julie
Published: March 2021

The pottery discovered at al-Qusur (Failaka Island, Kuwait) is of first importance to clarify thedating of the Christian settlements of the Arab-Persian Gulf. Firstly attributed to the Sasanianperiod by their excavators on the base of pottery and stucco studies, theses sites were thenattributed to the Early Islamic period by other scholars according to the artefacts published.Complete catalogues of the materiel unearthed on these sites are still lacking. This article offers afirst overview of the pottery discovered at al-Qu??r by the French Mission in Kuwait in 1988–1989and in 2007–2009 in two buildings identified as two churches (A1 and A2), two courtyard houses(B1 and B8), and seven isolated buildings (B2–B7 and B9). The corpus was incomplete due to theloss of sherds from 1988 and 1989 campaigns during the Gulf war and to the treatment of partof the pottery discovered from 2007 to 2009. If quantification was meaningless and petrographyimpossible, this corpus reflects the cultural proximity of the site with Mesopotamia and Persiaand diagnostic sherds such as pitchers with gouged lines or pointed circles with incised lines andgouged motifs, stamped sherds, carinated turquoise-glazed cups, attest that the main occupationof the site is related to an Early Islamic period. This dating is consistent with other Christian sitesin the region, contradicting both Arabic and Syriac sources that propounded the disappearanceof Christianity as soon as the beginnings of Islam.

The Validation Crisis in Psychology
Authors: Schimmack Ulrich
Published: March 2021

Cronbach and Meehl (1955) introduced the concept of construct validity and described how researchers can demonstrate that their measures have construct validity. Although the term construct validity is widely used, few researchers follow Cronbach and Meehl’s recommendation to quantify construct validity with the help of nomological networks. As a result, the construct validity of many popular measures in psychology is unknown. I call for rigorous tests of construct validity that follow Cronbach and Meehl’s recommendations to improve psychology as a science. Without valid measures even replicable results are uninformative. I suggest that a proper program of validation research requires a multi-method approach and causal modeling of correlations with structural equation models. Construct validity should be quantified to enable cost-benefit analyses and to replace existing measures with better measures that have superior construct validity.
Uso de cuplas o pares de fuerzas para expresar el torque en situaciones de equilibrio estático
Authors: Slüsarenko V. , Rojas R.
Published: March 2021

Un cuerpo rígido está en equilibrio estático si se cumplen las siguientes dos condiciones: la suma de fuerzas externas es cero, y la suma de los momentos de torsión (o torques) externos es cero. La condición de equilibrio de torques presenta dificultades para algunos estudiantes porque involucra un producto cruz de vectores. Acá vamos a describir una alternativa más simple para aplicar esa condición, que consta solo de elementos escalares. Para ello acá se presentan algunos ejemplos de una varilla y de una barra en que se identifican los pares de fuerzas que producen los torques.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to estimate the prevalence of voice- and swallowing-related symptoms in women submitted to total thyroidectomy. Methods: a population-based, observational, cross-sectional, analytical study, based on a Brazilian national survey. A total of 252 women, aged 18 to 58 years, submitted to total thyroidectomy, residing in the five geographical regions of the country participated in the study. All of them answered the version of the Thyroidectomy-Related Voice Questionnaire translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese, besides questions on demographic and clinical issues. A descriptive analysis of the categorical and quantitative variables was conducted. The relationship between the total TVQ score and the independent variables was analyzed with the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The significance level used was 5%. Results: the most prevalent symptoms were, tired voice, after talking for a long time (50%), and dry mouth/thirst (43.3%). The voice-related symptoms were more prevalent than those related to swallowing. The total TVQ score was not related to age group (p=0.141), profession (p=0.213), region of residence (p=0.303), time since surgery (p=0.955), and radiotherapy/radioiodine therapy (p=0.666). Conclusion: Brazilian women submitted to total thyroidectomy have a high prevalence of voice- and swallowing-related symptoms, the former being predominant.

Abstract The materials that compose a construction system influence directly the acoustic performance of buildings.In masonry systems, through experiments, the geometry of the blocks and the types of coating were perceived as fundamental factors on the acoustic performance of walls. Therefore, this study intends to enrich the database and promote analysis for the civil construction industry by evaluating the airborne sound reduction of masonry walls composed by ceramic blocks with and without mortar coating. Accordingly, different partitions made of different ceramic blocks were built to determine the performance discrepancies in the partitions’ behavior due to physical characteristics and the influence of the mortar coating. These analyses were made in laboratory. As a result, without coating, the highest sound reduction was observed in the samples with more bulk mass and higher Aliq/At ratio (relationship between the net and gross areas of the ceramic blocks). Then, with the mortar coating, the coating improved the sound reduction. Moreover, the bulk mass was the most influential characteristic in comparison to the Aliq/At ratio, even though the best results were obtained in the samples with higher Aliq/At ratios.
