Polyelectrolyte-chain-at-equilibrium v1
Authors: Edwards Mike
Published: February 2021

By means of the density functional theory framework (DFT) as well as the molecular dynamic simulations (MD), a polyelectrolyte chain (PE) in the good solvent conditions at thermal equilibrium is studied. The strength of the electrostatic interactions is varied by the Bjerrum length of the solvent. It turns out that average extension of a PE scales with the degree of polymerization, very much similar to a neutral polymer chain in good solvent. Remarkably, the difference between a PE and a neutral chain appears to be solely in the correlations among monomers which are stored in the Virial coefficients. Interestingly, upon increasing the Bjerrum length of solvent, the chain shrinks. This outcome is confirmed by the DFT framework as well as the MD simulations. The significance of this study is that it strongly criticizes the idea (already mentioned in T. Kreer, Soft Matter, 12, 3479 (2016)) that the PEs behave similar to a neutral ideal chain. This study could be useful in our understanding of biopolymers.

James Phelan’s Three Judgments in George Eliot’s Middlemarch
Authors: Du Xingjie
Published: February 2021

George Eliot, well-known as one of greatest realists in the 19th century, weaves multiple narratives in her representative work Middlemarch, presenting vividly the realistic picture of society between 1829 and 1832. The narrative clue of love affair between Dorothea, Casaubon and Will Ladislaw permeates the whole story, which attracts the attention of numerous scholars with fruitful, inspirational studies. However, few numbers of scholars delve into the controversial issue of Casaubon’s “will” in the story to analyze the moral values and thoughts expressed by the implied author. Thus, the paper attempts to analyze the issue of “will” by borrowing the concept of three judgments proposed by James Phelan to figure out how the implied author expresses her interpretative, ethical and aesthetical judgements by means of her distinct narrative.
Transcendentalism in Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick
Authors: Qi Wenjin
Published: February 2021

Ralph Waldo Emerson's Transcendentalist beliefs had dominated American literature in the Romantic period. It has remained an appealing interest in exploring whether Herman Melville had been influenced by Transcendentalism and in what ways it is embodied in his work. Therefore, this study carries out a detailed analysis of Melville's Transcendentalist tendency in his masterpiece of Moby-Dick. It is found that the characterization of Ahab as a Transcendentalist hero and Ishmael as an Emersonian Individualist are two cases in the point. Furthermore, it also reveals the embodiment of Oversoul in the narration. Altogether, they testify the sign of Transcendental influence over Melville in this novel.
A Linguistic-stylistic Analysis of Selected Aspects of Minutes of Meeting
Authors: Orebe Oluwabukola O.
Published: February 2021

Linguistic-stylistics explores the use of language, and how it (language) affects the building of a text to create effective meaning. Language is about meaning, as such, speakers and writers are often conscious of their language choice to create meaning in every given social context. The present study is a linguistic stylistic analysis of parliamentary type of minutes of meetings selected from two Faculties in Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. The study adopts the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistic [SFL] to analyze tense, mood and sentence types in the selected minutes of meetings. The study reports that a minute of meeting, being a report of speech activities is normally in the past tense, and the mood is predominantly declarative, and sentences are selected to reflect a narrative piece.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF GEOLOGICAL FACTORS ON THE DEPTH OF THE FILTRATE INVADED ZONEAT THE PRIMARY DISCLOSURE OF GRANULAR RESERVOIRS ACCORDING TO THE WELL-LOGGING DATA
Authors: Karpenko O. , Sobol B. , Myrontsov M. , Karpenko I.
Published: February 2021

Possibilities of using the well-logging data for revealing the factors of the geological nature that influence the formation of invaded zone of a drilling mud filtrate at oil and gas wells drilling are considered. Electrical logging data were used with probes of different sizes and different types for adequate calculation of the relative diameter of the invaded zone. 5 wells from the gas condensate field were selected for analysis. The terrigenous section of the wells is represented by the alternation of argillites, siltstones and sandstones. Rocks reservoirs of granular type; the layers with thicknesses from 3,4 to 18,2 m were selected for analysis. The results of statistical analysis (cluster and factor analyzes) revealed 3 groups of rocks, the characteristic features of which are significantly differentfrom the invaded zone, layer thickness and porosity and gas saturation coefficients. It is established that for terrigenous sections with reservoir rocks of granular type (Serpukhovian) for one field on the example of 5 wells there is a maximum direct correlation between the value of the relative diameter of the invaded zone and the thickness of the layers. The conducted researches allow making prognostic estimations concerning the approximate distributions of diameters of an invaded zone in terrigenous cuts in case of accident-free drilling with observance of technological conditions.
DEVLET PERSONEL BAŞKANLIĞINDAN CUMHURBAŞKANLIĞI İNSAN KAYNAKLARI OFİSİNE: KAMU PERSONEL YÖNETİMİNDE ÖRGÜTSEL DEĞİŞİM
Authors: Acar Osman Kürşat
Published: February 2021

Ülkemizdeki
kamu personel yönetimi için özellikle Cumhuriyet döneminde, 1950 sonrası
yabancı uzman raporlarının da etkisiyle personel sistemini tek elden yürütecek
bir merkezi bir kamu personel örgütü kurulması savunulmuştur. Bunun neticesinde
1960’da Devlet Personel Dairesi kurulmuş ama beklenilen işlevi sağlamamıştır.
1984 yılında adı Devlet Personel Başkanlığı olarak değiştirilen kurum, 2011
yılında bir takım ek görevler ile geliştirilse de kamu personel politikaların
tek elden yürütülmesi amacına hizmet etmemiştir. Son olarak yeni
Cumhurbaşkanlığı Hükümet Sistemi ile Devlet Personel Başkanlığı kaldırılmış ve
görevleri Çalışma Genel Müdürlüğüne devredilmiştir. Aynı zamanda yeni hükümet
sistemi ile birlikte Cumhurbaşkanlığı İnsan Kaynakları Ofisi kurulmuştur. Yeni
dönem ile birlikte kamu personel yönetim sisteminde birtakım politika
değişimleri beklenilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile 60 yıllık süreçte kamu personel
sistemi için merkezi bir politika koordinasyonu sağlayacak kuruluş olarak
Devlet Personel Başkanlığı’nın kuruluş ve gelişim süreci ile başarılı bir işlev
görememe nedenleri literatür çerçevesinde ortaya konulmuştur. Ardından yeni
kurulan Cumhurbaşkanlığı İnsan Kaynakları Ofisinin kuruluş süreci
incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak tıpkı 1960 yılında Devlet Personel Dairesinin
kuruluş aşamasında olduğu gibi Cumhurbaşkanlığı İnsan Kaynakları Ofisi’nin de iyi
kurgulanmadığı yönünde birtakım emarelere ulaşılmıştır.

Effect of manual therapies on cardiac autonomic control: a systematic review
Authors: Sousa Kamila Aparecida de , Cardoso Leila Batista , Pirola Flavia Maria , Auad Luciana Gonzalez , De Oliveira Adriana Sarmento
Published: February 2021

Background: Evidences suggest that manual therapies, a physiotherapy specialty widely used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, would be complementary or alternative for the treatment of cardiac autonomic dysfunction present in the elderly, patients with cardiovascular diseases, some neuromuscular diseases and in some pain processes. Objective: Evaluate the available scientific evidence regarding the effect of manual therapy techniques on cardiac autonomic control. Methods: The selected articles were indexed in the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, SCIELO and LILACS. Results: In the initial search, 233 articles were identified in the electronic databases. After initial analysis of the titles, 210 articles were excluded because they did not address the research topic, performed other types of intervention or evaluation or because they were review articles. A second step of evaluating the 23 previously selected articles was carried out and consisted of reading the abstracts of the articles. After reading the abstracts, 11 were selected. According to the analysis of the selected articles, it was possible to observe that most manual therapy techniques improved the cardiac autonomic control of their samples: Fornari, Carnevali and Sgoifo (2017), Girsberger et al. (2014), Valenzuela et al. (2018), Curi et al. (2017), Akbaş et al. (2019), Buttagat et al. (2009),Kunikata et al. (2012), Mantovani et al. (2005) and Giles et al. (2011). Guilherme et al. (2010) was the only study that found no change. Conclusion: Manual therapies have improved cardiac autonomy acutely in healthy young and middle-aged populations or with discomfort, hypertension and back pain associated with the presence of myofascial trigger points. It is emphasized the importance of conducting new randomized controlled studies, with high methodological quality, that address the effect of other manual therapies on cardiac autonomic control.
The effect of central bank transparency on inflation persistence
Authors: Oikonomou Georgios , Papadamou Stephanos , Spyromitros Eleftherios
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we examine the effect of central bank transparency on inflation persistence, using panel data analysis. The existing literature has shown a significant impact of central bank transparency on macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, but not many efforts have been made about its effect on inflation persistence. We use yearly data for 14 countries and the Eurozone (ECB). We find that monetary policy transparency has a negative statistically significant impact on inflation persistence, while controlling also for important variables such as GDP growth, interest rates, economic openness and unit labour cost.
The market demand- (and supply) curve paradox
Authors: Haugen Kjetil , Heen Knut P.
Published: February 2021

After many years of teaching utility maximization in Microeconomics a certain paradoxical puzzle has come to our attention. It is very simple and straightforward, but we still find it hard to explain it to students. Our hope is that the distinguished community of theoretical economists may help us solve this mystery. After all, we would find it extremely unlikely that we are the first persons to identify this paradox.
Government borrowing as a Ponzi scheme: the case of Bangladesh
Authors: Saadat Syed Yusuf
Published: February 2021

This study investigates whether government borrowing can be likened to a Ponzi scheme which will allow the government to roll-over its debt perpetually. The results show that, on the basis of the condition of maintaining real economic growth rate above and beyond the real interest rate on government debt, it will not be possible to sustain a perpetual Ponzi scheme of all four types of National Savings Certificates in Bangladesh. The government’s debt may be rolled over perpetually for two types of National Savings Certificates, following the condition outlined in Ball, et al. (1998), or for three types of National Savings Certificates following the condition outlined in Mehrotra (2017).

«Дома», или учебник для родителей Антона Чехова
Authors: Sadecki Artur
Published: February 2021

In the paper one of Anton Chekhov’s works devoted to childhood, an 1887 short story At Home, falls under the scrutiny. Its action appears to be limited to a conversation between Bykovsky, the father who works as prosecutor for the circuit court, and Seryozha, the son who has been found smoking. Were it not for the main hero – the father – this short story would not have been placed as one of the exceptional pieces in Chekhov’s writings. Bykovsky comprehends the reality properly and his course of action is crowned with success, meaning the son stops smoking. His way of thinking reveals a deep understanding of children’s raising rules. Firstly, he is aware that a child has its own, separate world of thoughts and feelings. In this way, the father using his own words describes the phenomenon, which is now being investigated by the so-called Theory of Mind. Secondly, Bykovsky achieves success when he tells his son a fairy tale about the harmful effects of smoking. It apparently shows that he is conscious of the role of narration in the process of education, which is also an axiom in contemporary science. Therefore, it can be concluded that the short story At Home is a kind of an artistic “guide for parents”.

Classroom management: Applying appropriate strategies to enhance effective teaching
Authors: Purwanti Eko , Vania Gitta
Published: February 2021

The teaching and learning process should be conducted effectively so that students can obtain the learning objectives. In so doing, teachers should have the ability to deliver the teaching materials effectively by conducting good classroom management. In this case, as prospective teachers, pre-service teachers should manage the classroom well to maintain teaching effectively. However, handling classroom management is not easy, and therefore pre-service teachers should apply appropriate strategies in managing the classroom. This research aims to investigate the strategies that pre-service teachers use to overcome the problems in managing the classroom during their teaching practices in a private senior high school. A qualitative research approach was employed to answer the research questions, in which in-depth interviews were administered to collect the data. Besides, four pre-service teachers at an Islamic university in Yogyakarta volunteered as the participants in this study. This study’s results showed that the participants applied several strategies to respond to the problems emerging during their teaching practice. The strategies which these pre-service teachers applied to overcome the problems comprised 1) improving self-confidence, 2) preparing lessons carefully, 3) anticipating unpredictable situations, 4) responding to unpredictable questions wisely, and 5) handling with the students’ heterogeneity. Having various ways of handling classroom management, these pre-service teachers could deliver the lesson effectively. Therefore, this study is beneficial for those who are having teaching practice to keep the classroom run successfully.

O gerenciamento de aquisições envolve diversos processos que visam gerenciar de maneira eficiente as compras e contratos de projetos. No setor público, em especial, esses processos possuem uma grande importância, considerando as especificidades existentes e a limitação dos recursos orçamentários. Nesse contexto, este artigo buscou identificar a utilização do Gerenciamento de Projetos no setor público, com foco no Gerenciamento de Aquisições, a partir do PMBOK e da experiência dos gestores da Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária – Infraero. A metodologia aplicada consistiu em pesquisa do tipo descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, por meio de um estudo de caso. Foi utilizado um questionário estruturado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Os resultados do estudo apontaram que no gerenciamento das aquisições dos projetos públicos é necessário que a administração pública cumpra estritamente o disposto nas leis de Licitações e Contratos Administrativos. Também, ilustrou-se que os riscos mais frequentes do Gerenciamento de Aquisições no setor público se referem, principalmente, ao processo de planejamento, as legislações e a alternância de poder. Demonstrou-se, ainda, que os processos do gerenciamento de aquisições, isto é, o planejamento, a condução, o controle e o encerramento, são seguidos detalhadamente pela empresa. Planejar o gerenciamento das aquisições dos projetos públicos é de fundamental importância na prática profissional do setor público, necessitando que os gestores de projetos estejam bem capacitados para gerir os recursos limitados que são disponíveis para as aquisições, a fim de se obter sucesso nos resultados dos projetos públicos.

Authors: Rahimi Arash , Rashidi Mohammad amin , Rasti Abolhasan
Published: February 2021

Aim: Due to the high prevalence of sickle cell anemia and beta-shaped sickle cell thalassemia in this region, we decided to conduct this study with the aim of investigating the status of pulmonary function in these patients in Bandar Abbas.
Method: The statistical population in this study included all patients with sickle cell anemia and sickle cell beta-thalassemia who had referred to the hematology clinic from 2019-2020, which was equal to 60 people. Also, the workers who had referred to the specialized lung clinic for periodic health tests entered the study by observing the criteria for leaving the review as a control group. Participants were subjected to spirometry and pulmonary volumes were measured.
Result: The patients in the case group, 39 (65%) were from sickle cell anemia, and 21 (35%) were from the sickle cell beta-thalassemia. In this study, all the studied parameters had a significant difference between the study group and the control, except for the mean age (p=0.906). In the control group, the values of FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second), FVC (Forced vital capacity), and FEF25-75% (Forced expiratory flow 25-75%) are higher than these values in the case group, and this difference is significant (P <0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the levels of FEV1, FVC and FEF 25-75% in the control group are higher than these values in the patient group and this difference is significant.

Authors: Jafari-Sales Abolfazl , Sadeghi Deylamdeh Zahra , Shariat Afsoon
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infections and as a multivalent pathogen is one of the causative agents of nosocomial and community infections. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify and determine the pattern of antibiotic resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from patients in hospitals and medical centers in Marand city and also to evaluate the presence of mecA gene.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 385 samples of S. aureus were collected from different clinical samples of patients in hospitals and medical centers of Marand city. S. aureus was identified using standard biochemical methods.  Methicillin resistance was determined by disk diffusion method in the presence of oxacillin and cefoxitin. The pattern of antibiotic resistance of the strains was determined by disk diffusion method and according to CLSI recommendation and also PCR method was used to evaluate the frequency of MecA gene.
Results: In the present study, out of 385 samples of S. aureus, 215 (55.84%) samples were methicillin resistant. PCR results for mecA gene showed that 110 samples had mecA gene.  The highest antibiotic resistance was observed against penicillin (100%) and erythromycin (83.63%). Most MRSA were isolated from urine and wound samples.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate the prevalence of methicillin-resistant species and also the increase in antibiotic resistance of MRSA to various antibiotics.  Therefore, in order to prevent increased resistance to other antibiotics, it is recommended to avoid inappropriate use of antibiotics.
An Analysis of Certainly and Generally in Late-Modern English English History Texts
Authors: Álvarez-Gil Francisco J.
Published: February 2021

This paper analyses the adverbs certainly and generally as stancetaking markers. These adverbial devices are said to show authorial stance and to communicate the author’s commitment or detachment towards the information presented, and so they are classified as epistemic adverbs (Alonso-Almeida 2015). For this study, I have selected a corpus of history texts from the Modern English period (1700-1900), as compiled in The Corpus of History English Texts (Crespo and Moskowich 2015), on the basis of which the two evidential adverbs are examined using computer corpus tools, although manual inspection is also employed to assess the meaning of the items in context. The findings suggest that, in this type of scientific articles, the two adverbs are used with differing pragmatic functions, in the case of certainly it functions mostly as a booster and, in the specific case of generally, its use seems to primarily suggest a hedging purpose (Hyland 2005a).
Factors Mediating the Association Between Financial Socialization and Well-Being of Young Adults: Testing a Conceptual Framework
Authors: Fan Lu , Park Narang
Published: February 2021

This study establishes an integrated conceptual framework to examine the influences of financial socialization on young adults’ financial and subjective well-being. Using the National Financial Well-Being Survey and structural equation modeling methods with a national sample of young adults aged 18–35, this study highlights two key potential influences of financial socialization: (a) early financial socialization experience is directly and positively associated with young adults’ financial knowledge and financial motivations (goal-oriented financial planning and self-control ability) and (b) there are indirect and positive associations between financial socialization and young adults’ perceived financial skill, financial behavior, and financial and subjective well-being. Moreover, perceived financial skill significantly mediates the relationship between financial motivations and financial management behavior and could indirectly influence financial and subjective well-being. Finally, this study also finds positive associations among financial management behavior, financial well-being, and subjective well-being of young adults.

Dinámica de la estructura organizacional
Authors: Huamán Pulgar-Vidal Laura
Published: February 2021

La estructura organizacional en la gestión de las organizaciones puede ser un tema de fácil entendimiento a nivel teórico. Sin embargo, las bondades de la teoría y sus conceptos llegan a ser limitantes cuando se trata de llevarlo a la práctica. Si bien la estructura organizacional se elabora en la fase “organizar”, del clásico proceso administrativo y luego de la “planeación”, la relación que existe entre el hecho de planear y organizar es clave cuando se crea una estructura organizacional. Las teorías y los métodos afines son diversos, habiéndose planteado variados modelos y metodologías. Quien dirija y controle la ejecución de los planes tendrá que tener mucha claridad en el orden de su organización y para eso la definición y claridad de una estructura será uno de los más importantes medios para el éxito de la estrategia. Es gracias a la docencia y al ejercicio de la consultoría de empresas que se evidenció la oportunidad de revisar el tema de la creación de estructuras organizacionales y presentar una propuesta metodológica al respecto.

La Facultad de Negocios de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), presenta mediante esta nota editorial el primer número del tercer volumen de su Review of Global Management. Quienes formamos parte, tanto de su Comité Ejecutivo, como de su Comité Editorial Internacional, nos sentimos complacidos de la publicación del presente número porque esta revista no sólo resume una ardua labor colectiva de corte operativo, sino también y sobre todo un esfuerzo institucional por diseminar erudición por la vía escrita. Ello, apelando a la reflexión intelectual, al pensamiento crítico y a la investigación científica, en temas de interés académico, como de actualidad, relevantes en la administración de empresas, negocios internacionales, innovación, emprendimiento y economía, entre otros.
Se busca sentido común
Authors: García Jean P.

Hace unos días revisaba algunos de los documentos de investigación que ha publicado el profesor Pablo Fernández, Ph.D. en Business Economics y titular de la cátedra PricewaterhouseCoopers de Finanzas Corporativas en la Escuela de Negocios IESE de la Universidad de Navarra. El profesor Fernández es conocido, tanto por sus trabajos de investigación, como por sus asesorías empresariales, todo ello relacionado con la valoración de negocios. Al ser uno de los principales especialistas hispanos en valuación, siempre resulta interesante releer sus reflexiones sobre este tema, que ocupa una posición importante dentro del ámbito de estudio de las finanzas corporativas.
Gestión de calidad
Authors: Bouillon Adolfo
Published: February 2021

La gestión de la calidad debe ser una filosofía de trabajo más que una serie de procedimientos para mantener una determinada certificación (e.g., ISO 9000). Esta filosofía supone un cambio de paradigma, desde la perspectiva dependiente hacia la interdependiente, en la cual los trabajadores asumen como suya la responsabilidad de velar por que los procesos se efectúen en forma adecuada, de manera que la experiencia del cliente con el servicio sea la mejor.
La solución de controversias entre estados en los tratados de libre comercio
Authors: García-Corrochano Moyano Luis
Published: February 2021

Los tratados de libre comercio no apuntan a crear sistemas burocráticos de integración, sino marcos legales que permitan el flujo transfronterizo de bienes y capitales. En ese sentido, al carecer de una estructura institucional permanente, requieren dotarse de sistemas de solución de controversias capaces de resolver los problemas que se presenten en el comercio entre los particulares, y también aquellos que se deriven de los actos legales y administrativos de los Estados partes, y que puedan impactar negativamente en el comercio entre ellos. Los sistemas de solución de controversias proponen mecanismos ágiles, fiables e imparciales que permitan resolver los desacuerdos y eviten que el cumplimiento de los tratados se vea perjudicado por el surgimiento de contenciosos que paralicen su aplicación y frenen el desarrollo de los aspectos sustantivos del tratado. En ese sentido, el artículo examina y compara los mecanismos previstos en algunos tratados de libre comercio acordados a nivel regional

Eficiencia: el código genético de la gestión
Authors: Macera Danilo
Published: February 2021

Se analiza la relación entre los términos eficiencia, eficacia, y efectividad. Mientras que los dos primeros términos se refieren a los recursos y a los objetivos respectivamente, el tercero se refiere a la combinación de ambos. La eficiencia es un concepto que está presente en la naturaleza y dentro de ésta en el reino animal. Se presentan casos de empresas que han logrado un desempeño adecuado en términos de eficiencia. Las capacidades que se deben desarrollar para alcanzar eficiencia corresponden a estimar con precisión la cantidad óptima de producción de bienes y servicios; identificar los recursos estratégicos y gestionarlos; y por último, tener claridad en el establecimiento de objetivos.

MENYINGKAP NARASI DEKONSTRUKSI DALAM NOVEL CALA IBI (BERHALUSINASI TENTANG SEBUAH HALUSINASI)
Authors: Purnamasari Hetty , Nugraha Triyana Andra
Published: February 2021

The novel Cala Ibi tells about the dream Maya has. In short, the story in Maya's dream is multi-layered and is one entity. Therefore Maya must find the meaning of  these dreams.  In her novel Cala  Ibi,  Nukila Amal tries to disconstruct a fixed structure of a novel that is understood by the readers. The structure of plot, the choice of characters, characterization, and the choice off setting are almost all deviated from the position of the elements of a novel. From the beginning, the narrator has decided not to obey the structure of a novel. The indication of her trying to disconstruct the novel’s structure happens to almost all of the parts of the novel. Nevertheless, the meaning given to the readers is an interesting challenge. This novel is examined with a deconstruction approach that aims to describe how the deconstruction is displayed in the novel Cala Ibi. Deconstruction is done by giving attention to symptoms that are hidden, deliberately hidden, such as untruth, side characters, women, and so on.

“The lost streetcar” by Nikolay Gumilyov: literature review
Authors:   Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University, Shuneyko Alexander A. , Chibisova Olga V.
Published: February 2021

The aim of the work is to review the scientific literature on one of N. Gumilyov’s most famous poems, “The Lost Streetcar,” one hundred years from the date of writing, due to the lack of an accurate dating of its creation, is in 2019, 2020, or 2021. The availability of a large number of analytical works indicates the constant interest of researchers in this multifaceted and ambiguous poem. The work is aimed at the implementation of several tasks: to give a comprehensive picture of the assessment of the text; look at it through the prism of analytics; reveal the true validity of certain interpretations; identify the main points of application of analytical thought; to discover how a clash of different interpretations of the same facts makes it possible to characterize the truth of these interpretations. It consists of four interconnected parts that take into account a different degree of interpretation breadth. The total representation of the materials associated with each of these parts allows drawing a number of conclusions. In particular, that the very first characteristics given by the poet’s contemporaries do not lose their relevance nowadays. And that researchers’ enthusiasm for seeking intertextual links sometimes leaves out discussing the individual author style features of the text itself. It is also important that researchers literally dissolve the poem in contexts that are significant for world culture and deprive it of independence. Assessments and interpretations of the text can be both in a relationship of mutual complementarity, and can be mutually exclusive. The perception of the text as reflecting biographical facts and esoteric generalizations and preferences of the author represents the main opposition, the components of which are focused on all studies of the poem.
Rhythmic reorganizations of speech based on jaw vertical movements
Authors: Meireles Alexsandro Rodrigues
Published: February 2021

Este artículo investiga cómo el aumento de la tasa de elocución actúa para cambiar articulatoriamente los movimientos verticales de la mandíbula. Dos mujeres (una de Minas Gerais y otra de São Paulo) en el grupo de edad de 30-40 años fueron grabadas en el Laboratorio de Fonética de la Universidad del Espiritu Santo con el uso de un magnetómetro NDI Wave con una frecuencia de muestreo de 100 Hz. Los resultados muestran que el aumento de la tasa de elocución alteró los parámetros articulatorios en el eje vertical de la siguiente manera: a) disminución de la duración de la aceleración; b) disminución del punto vertical máximo (y-extremo); c) disminución del desplazamiento de la constricción; d) disminución en módulo de la velocidad del valle/pico; e) disminución de la duración de los gestos articulatorios; y f) tiempo-para-velocidad-de-pico/valle proporcional constante. Además, los resultados muestran que la tasa de elocución tiende a afectar todos los gestos independientemente de su posición frasal. Sin embargo, hay evidencias que algunos parámetros articulatorios, si debidamente controlados, pueden proporcionar indicios para reestructuraciones rítmicas del habla.
