Defending the Absurd: The Iconoclast's Guide to Section 47(1) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013
Authors: McCreath Haneen , Koen Raymond
Published: April 2017

This contribution was intended as a defence of section 25(1) of the Supreme Court Act 59 of 1959. However, the Supreme Court Act was repealed in August 2013 and replaced by the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013, and in the process section 25(1) of the former gave way to section 47(1) of the latter. Both sections concern the doctrine of leave to sue judges in South Africa. Both prescribe that any civil litigation against a judge requires the consent of the court out of which such litigation is to be launched. Both apply to civil suits against judges for damage caused by either their judicial or their non-judicial conduct.

Although section 25(1) had been one of the more inconspicuous sections of the Supreme Court Act, it was contested on occasion. Both curial and extra-curial challenges to section 25(1) assailed its constitutionality, alleging essentially that its provisions violated the right of access to courts enshrined in section 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and that such violation did not meet the limitation criteria contained in section 36. It may be anticipated with considerable confidence, given its legal continuity with section 25(1), that any serious assault upon section 47(1) of the Superior Courts Act also will focus upon its relationship to section 34 of the Constitution.

This contribution is a pre-emptive defence of section 47(1) of the Superior Courts Act and, by extrapolation, a belated justification of section 25(1) of the Supreme Court Act. An attempt will be made to demonstrate, contrary to conventional wisdom, that section 47(1) does not limit section 34 and passes constitutional

muster at the first level of enquiry, thereby obviating the need for advancing to the second level of enquiry contained in section 36 of the Constitution.

The jurisprudential crux of section 47(1) of the Superior Courts Act is embedded in the nature of the judicial office and its core value of judicial impartiality. The procedural immunity which the section affords South African judges is a mechanism for sparing them the nuisance of having to deal with frivolous litigation, either as defendant or as adjudicator. Every specious suit against a judge, per definitionem, represents an incursion into judicial impartiality by urging that the court give credence to a claim which does not qualify for curial adjudication. In this regard, the doctrine of leave to sue seeks to ensure that judges do not have to adjudicate claims which resort beyond the compass of their judicial capacity. It is a doctrine which operates to protect and advance the unimpeachable principle of judicial impartiality.
Reassessing Judicial Independence and Impartiality against the Backdrop of Judicial Appointments in South Africa
Authors: Malan Koos
Published: April 2017

The South African Judicial Service Commission (JSC), considered to be exemplary for its independence, plays a pivotal part in judicial appointments. Yet the Commission has long been marred by tensions that have lately erupted into a full-blown conflict between those who could here be referred to as the transformationists, on the one hand, and the liberals, on the other. The transformationists, who may generally be regarded as falling within the sphere of influence of the ruling elite under the African National Congress (ANC), are bent on pursuing the policy of transformation. Hence they insist that the composition of the bench must reflect the national population profile and on individual judges' pursuing the ruling party's ideological goals. The liberals reject this as a threat to judicial independence and the professional competence of the judiciary. On close analysis the clash is based on incompatible interpretations of judicial independence and impartiality. This article is a critique of these interpretations against the backdrop of an assessment of what these notions can reasonably be expected to achieve.

It is argued that the liberals are harbouring unrealistic views about judiciaries, believing them to wield power which may even extend over matters of political significance, powers on a par with or even outweighing those of the political branches. However, on proper analysis it is clear that the judiciary is in fact, firstly, inherently weak and dependent on the support of the political branches; and, secondly, it is integrated into the ruling elite with whom they share the same ideological assumptions without any inclination to oppose them. Hence, the impartiality of the courts, when it comes to politically sensitive issues, is distinctively politically (regime) relative and ideologically conditioned.

Ironically the transformationists have bought into the liberals' erroneous belief in the potency of the courts (in the above-mentioned sense) and they fear, without foundation, for the political risks the courts might be posing to the ruling elite. This fear is based on an exaggerated vision of the far-reaching consequences that they ascribe to judicial independence and impartiality, believing it to render the judiciary a formidable political force on a par with the political branches. The transformationists would therefore go to extreme lengths to secure an amenable judiciary. This is exemplified by their rather improper insistence that the best candidates need not be appointed, thus compromising even the (limited) independence and impartiality which courts, on a realistic assessment, should have. In doing this the transformationists show a serious lack of appreciation of the distinctive professional nature of the judiciary, whose independence, impartiality and effectiveness are rooted not in political might but in the exceptional professional competence of the incumbents on the bench, who should be drawn from the best candidates the legal professional can produce.
Spatial Practices in Lowliebenhof: The Case of Maphango v Aengus Lifestyle Properties (Pty) Ltd
Authors: De Villiers Isolde
Published: April 2017

In Maphango v Aengus Lifestyle Properties (Pty) Ltd 2012 5 BCLR 449 (CC) the question before the Constitutional Court was when a landlord may legally cancel contracts of lease and evict tenants. In answering this question the court had to consider the constitutional protection against arbitrary evictions in section 26(3) and the provisions of the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999. The applicants sought a declaratory order that the landlord had terminated their leases unlawfully, because the termination had been intended to double (and in some instances more than double) the rent. The applicants argued that this escalation violated contractual and legislative provisions governing the procedure and conditions under which a landlord can increase the amount of a rental. The Constitutional Court found in favour of the tenants and postponed the appeal to allow any of the parties to lodge a complaint at the Gauteng Rental Housing Tribunal. The narrow focus of this note is the manner in which the Constitutional Court in the Maphango case interpreted the concept of "practice" in the Rental Housing Act and how this in turn corresponds to perceptions of urban spaces. The inquiry is informed by the spatial justice turn and relies on the works of Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre and Doreen Massey
Rectification and Party Misdescription: To what extent is Rectification Competent or Useful?
Authors: Sharrock Robert
Published: April 2017

The decision in Osborne v West Dunes Properties 176 2013 6 SA 105 (WCC) raises some interesting issues regarding the competence or usefulness of rectifying an incorrect party description in a contract required by law to be in writing and signed. This case note explains and critically analyses the court's reasoning on these issues and suggests that courts should bear in mind certain important principles when dealing with a problem of this nature.
Psychological Conditions Of Successful Maternal Role Development
Authors: Yakupova V.A.
Published: April 2017

The aim of this work is the investigation of psychological conditions, helping primiparous women to develop the role of mother. 73 primiparous mothers of 6—24 months children took part in the study. Three groups of conditions turned out to be important in the process of mastering the new role: the level of flexibility, realistic expectations and emotional attitude to the components of the mother role (towards the care of the baby, towards woman herself as a mother and the baby). Mothers with high level of rigidity estimate the difficulty of mastering the new role as the highest in the sample. It is also harder to adapt to the new role of parent for women with unjustified expectations about motherhood. They more often experience motherhood as a refusal of many life spheres. The difficulties associated with caring for the child are better tolerated by women who emotionally accept the components of the maternal role, have positive attitude to themselves as mothers, to the baby and to the process of caring about it.
OS DESAFIOS DA INDÚSTRIA FARMACÊUTICA BRASILEIRA DIANTE DA POLÍTICA NACIONAL DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS
Authors: Luna Roger Augusto , Viana Fernando Luiz Emerenciano
Published: April 2017

Produtos farmacêuticos são amplamente utilizados pela população, porém, a devida atenção ao processo de retorno de seus resíduos não são tratados de forma adequada, abrindo espaço para que ocorram impactos ambientais devido a isto. Este artigo tem como objetivo de analisar a influência da Política Nacional dos Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) na logística reversa da indústria farmacêutica de medicamentos com uso domiciliar, constituindo um estudo qualitativo de caráter descritivo, que envolveu a realização de entrevistas com os gestores de empresas fabricantes de medicamentos, além de análise documental das leis em vigor sobre o tema. Os resultados indicam que a indústria farmacêutica ainda não está adequadamente preparada para atender ao que está estabelecido na PNRS, embora já exista uma articulação com seu sindicato de classe para que isto ocorra em breve.
RESERVAS EXTRATIVISTAS NA AMAZÔNIA: UMA VISÃO DOS ATORES POR MEIO DO DISCURSO DO SUJEITO COLETIVO
Authors: Silva Neima Quele Almeida da , Müller Carlos André da Silva
Published: April 2017

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar como grupos de atores sociais distintos interpretam a institucionalização de Reservas Extrativistas (RESEX) apreciada do ponto de vista de uma política pública de conservação da biodiversidade. Foram considerados os extrativistas e os representantes de organizações que giram em torno das RESEX, diferenciadas em governamentais e não governamentais. Como referencial teórico, considerou-se a abordagem institucional e da sociologia organizacional. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) como forma de compreender o discurso de ambos os grupos no que se refere a definição de extrativismo, desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade. Os resultados apontam para discursos bastante distintos, sendo que os extrativistas relacionam suas atividades como meio de sobrevivência, com pouca conotação ambiental. Por outro lado, os representantes das organizações governamentais demonstram ter um discurso politicamente correto, mas com pouca eficácia na gestão ou apoio às RESEX. As organizações não governamentais, por sua vez, encontram-se em uma posição intermediária, ora aproximando-se dos extrativistas ora das organizações públicas. Conclui-se que esse descompasso reflete negativamente na gestão destas Unidades de Conservação e que a sustentabilidade ainda não tem sido atingida nessas áreas, vez que a baixa renda tem feito extrativistas optarem por manejos florestais, cada vez mais frequentes.

Authors: Younes Hassan E. A.
Published: April 2017

Background: Management of anal fistula is a challenging issue in surgical practice. No single technique is appropriate for treatment of all types of fistulas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new sphincter-sparing technique: ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) for management of anal fistula.Methods: Over a period of 18 months from January 2015 to June 2016 twenty-one patients (12 males and 9 females) with transsphincteric anal fistula were treated with the LIFT procedure. Patients were followed up for at least six months postoperatively for fistula recurrence, rate of wound healing and effect on fecal continence.Results: Fistula healing rate was (90.5%); recurrence rate was 9.5% in the form of down staging to intersphincteric fistulas. Mean time of healing of intersphincteric wound was 32±7.4 days (ranged from 17 to 58 days). Mean time of healing of the external opening wound was 27±5.8 days (ranged from 19 to 56 days). No postoperative changes in fecal continence.Conclusions: LIFT operation is a safe and effective management of transsphincteric anal fistula, this technique has high healing rate with no effect on fecal continence.

Evolution ‎of Asset-Freezing through the UN Security Council
Authors: Al-Own Gasem M.S , Bydoon Maysa Said
Published: April 2017

The UN Security Council (UNSC) carries out its task in maintaing and restoring international peace and security. However, it is argued that the Security Council evolved new ways to maintain international peace and security that differ from what was originally intended when the UN Charter adopted in 1945. The Development of Asset-freezing could be considered as an example of this evolution. This Article analyses the historic evolution ‎of asset-freezing in the UN legal order by the UNSC to identify the changes in the nature of asset-freezing. This article argues that asset-freezing has been designed as a means to put pressure on states to abide by the orders of the UNSC for the purpose of maintaining international collective security.

Using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) to Examine the Effects of the Body's Image on what Women Like and Choose in Clothing
Authors: Artac Berna Yildirim , Koc Fatma
Published: April 2017

For women the body is an important concept in clothing aesthetics. Body image is an important factor influencing what women like in clothing and what they choose to wear.In this study, which has been prepared with the aim of stressing the importance of the relationship between "Clothing Preference" and "Body Image", women's ability to minimize the difference between their ideal appearance and their actual appearance, as well as their ability to possess a good self-image and powerful self-confidence, have been studied.Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used in this study. The sample is 150 women aged 18-50 within the Konya Province in Turkey limits. The research concluded that while there was a relationship between the visual and verbal clothing choices for the women in the sample group, there was less of a match among their visual choices.
The Context of the Teaching Methods of Full Communicative Competence in English of the 11th Grade Teachers of the Middle Technical - Vocational Institutes in the Province of Cabinda (Angola)
Authors: Joao Armando , Sanchez Francisco Raso
Published: April 2017

The objective of this article is to analyse the context of teaching methods of English as a foreign language of English teachers of 11th grade of the Middle Technical - Vocational Institutes of Cabinda (Angola). This work consists of understanding why students do not learn full communicative competence in English, the reasons why students study this subject for two years in tenth and eleventh grade at school and three years in seventh to ninth grade but do not speak, do not read and cant even understand a simple request. They finish their studies without acquiring necessary linguistic competence in English. However, it is known that the role of the teacher is to guide the students to build their knowledge to orient their social lives. The results of the research show that teachers mostly use grammar translation methods, and they dont use other pedagogical resources such as publicity posters which would help students to acquire the necessary linguistic communicative competences.
Concevoir Une Société Yacouba Sans La Pratique De L’excision, Une Équation Impossible ?

The practice of violence against women is becoming increasingly acute in Côte d'Ivoire. The forms and frequencies vary from one cultural area to another. Thus, in the west, in the Tonkpi, female genital mutilation (FGM), occupy the heights of forms of gender-based violence (GVA), (CRD, 2016). In order to identify the strategies of circumcisers in this period of prohibition of FGM and the representations that underpin this practice, in spite of national and international policies, research was carried out in three sub-prefectures of the department of Man and Biankouma from February to March 2016. This is a qualitative study. The results confirmed that the attachment to custom and the adoption of new strategies are the factors explaining the persistence of the practice of excision in Côte d'Ivoire.

One of the main economic centers in the province of Pastaza is the spas known as "dams." They serve as homes to a significant number of national and international tourists. Six of the province's eight dykes are located within the Puyo river basin. It was built in the upper - middle part of the basin, and is the most visited area located in the main rivers. The drawbacks of this study to ensure the quality of waters for the recreational activity are in direct contact. This can be done by using the ICOMO index (index of contamination by organic matter) to evaluate the quality of the water and to verify their status for the realization for recreational activity. Out of all the seven spas sampled, four were found to have low levels of contamination, while the remaining three had no contamination. The leaves that should be given the most attention are: Dique de Fátima and Shell. They are located in the main stream and main tributary of the study area, which exceed the permissible values in the Ecuadorian legislation in the total coliform parameter.
Lynching as Psychological Turmoil in Selected African American Plays

Published: April 2017

This paper intends to investigate in depth a number of selected plays by African American playwrights and trace the references to the psychological impact of lynching on the black individuals as well as its impact on the society as a whole. The plays include Joseph Mitchell's Son- Boy (1928), Georgia Johnson's two plays Sunday Morning in the South (1925) and Blue-Eyed Black Boy (1930), Angelina Weld Grimk's Rachel (1916), and Mary Burrill's Aftermath (1919). The lynching scenes in the plays under discussion conveyed a great deal of the emotional impact of lynching on the black community.
People’s Cognitive Beliefs and Definitions About Homosexuality
Authors: Spahiu Desarta
Published: April 2017

This study aims to explore and analyze the process of defining homosexuality as an act of political implications. Defining the homosexuality influence the terms of social and political debate and implies distinct lines of actions. Qualitative analysis of the individual interviews used in this study shows how people discursively construct opinions about homosexuality. This study includes 10 participants using in-depth interviews and literature review as a research method. Evidence of this study indicates that cognitive beliefs and definitions about homosexuality are related directly and indirectly on attributions of causes that are biological or lifestyle choices in discourses. Surprisingly there is a significant number of responses about homosexuality that are not clearly defined. For some people, homosexuality can purport multiple things and others don’t think that they have the knowledge to give an opinion about the reasons that causes the homosexuality. In order to generate statistical estimates about how prevalent these different patterns of discourse are in the population in large, we must generate survey instruments that are more capable of measuring the complexity of people’s understandings of homosexuality.

Labor identity (LI) is a fundamental aspect of the worker. Without it, we are prone to generate nonsense for our work. Labor Outsourcing (LO) is a form of work that encourages the loss of LI and it has as a consequence on the nonsense of work (NW). The aim of this research is to investigate the correlation between LI and loss of consciousness in the LO context. To address this research, a quantitative research was conducted. A total sample of 55 people, composed of men and women between 25 and 56 years old, was used. Respondents were working on the outsourcing scheme in the personnel supply modality. The instrument that was applied was based on individual elaboration. Findings on the basis of NW and LI show high positive rates. Based on this, we can say that, despite the fact that workers live this precarious modality of work, they are motivated. However, we found that this absence of NW and presumed LI as a function of LO, is actually an apparent factor. This is due to the key items I2, SS3, T1 and T5 that has helped us to find the necessary support to affirm the existence of an aspirational LI feeling that generates the meaning of the work. Finally, we conclude that LO is perceived by the sample as a possible means to be directly employed by the primary organization of work.
CONVENÇÕES CORPORAIS E O MEDO DE ENVELHECER: Ideais de Juventude e Beleza Midiáticos Versus Aceitação Pessoal e Social da Imagem Real
Authors: Fort Mônica Cristine , Skura Ivania , Brisolara Cristina
Published: April 2017

O binômio beleza e juventude, tão comumente utilizado nas representações femininas na mídia, traduz padrões estéticos que já têm sido questionados, mas ainda servem de parâmetro para comentários de leitoras/es, e comparações na imprensa, de mulheres que foram belas na juventude e que, mais velhas, não têm mais a imagem que se esperava. Para discutir esse cenário, elencamos exemplos que apontam o envelhecimento feminino de personalidades públicas, adotando como pano de fundo para a reflexão as perspectivas de idadismo apontadas por Castro (2015, 2016); o conceito do corpo como capital de Goldenberg (2006, 2010, 2012, 2015); e do medo em Augé (2013), Altheide (2002) e  Bauman (2008). Ao debater como a mídia aumenta o inconformismo com o próprio corpo, abordam-se também os esforços que têm sido observados na área da comunicação persuasiva, com a presença de pessoas consideradas fora do estereótipo de beleza até então imposto, assim como são discutidas reações quanto a personalidades cobradas por fugirem desse padrão desejado.
PRECONCEITO LINGUÍSTICO: Origem na Sociedade; Término na Escola
Authors: Laperuta-Martins Maridelma
Published: April 2017

No presente artigo, expomos, brevemente, o desenvolvimento e resultado de uma pesquisa que relacionou o preconceito linguístico à educação. Postulamos que o preconceito linguístico é social, mas que somente por meio da escola é possível realizar algo efetivo que o combata. Trabalhamos com a Teoria Sociolinguística e com a pedagogia freireana (FREIRE, 1980) realizando discussões com professores e alunos da educação básica sobre conceitos da variação e preconceito linguístico. Como resultado, pudemos perceber uma mudança na postura e reconhecimento dos professores e alunos com relação à existência e malefícios do preconceito linguístico e a relevância do desenvolvimento de atividades que proponham a conscientização a respeito do tema.

A saúde configura-se como complexo conceitual com atores, práticas, contextos e dinâmicas particulares. Na perspectiva dos Estudos Culturais, este artigo considera lógicas e dimensões mobilizadas no processo de produção de campanha publicitária pelo Ministério da Saúde. Os dados coletados, em pesquisa documental e entrevistas, analisados, indicaram que o circuito de produção é configurado na articulação e tensionamento entre o disposto nas normas e o atualizado nas práticas cotidianas inseridas no contexto social, além de resultado de negociações e disputas entre atores e organizações envolvidas. A lógica organizacional destacou-se, ao mesmo tempo em que a lógica da saúde apresentou-se relativamente atenuada, sobretudo, em relação à concepção de saúde em nosso sistema de atenção.
LIBERDADE DE IMPRENSA SOB AMEAÇA: uma análise dos casos de violência contra jornalistas no Tocantins

Em alguns casos no Tocantins, os jornalistas têm sofrido violências por agressões físicas, morais, intimidações e até mesmo ameaças. Apesar das liberdades garantidas por lei, os riscos são pertinentes à profissão que lida com o trato diário das notícias divulgadas de modo a garantir o acesso à informação. Esta pesquisa ilustra casos acometidos aos jornalistas do estado no exercício da profissão, impedidos de desenvolverem seu trabalho por meio de violência entre os anos de 2012 e 2016. Ilustram-se as garantias e limitações da legislação brasileira, a correspondências com os casos vivenciados, bem como a análise de casos ocorridos no estado, suas origens, vítimas e motivos.

Volatile compounds have a tremendous impact on fruit quality. We evaluated the volatile compound profiles of ripening wild apple fruit (10 Malus baccata accessions and three Malus prunifolia accessions) in the National Field Genebank for Hardy Fruits at Gongzhuling, China. Alcohols, esters, aldehydes, terpenes, hydrocarbons, ethers, heterocycles, carboxylic acids, and ketones were detected in the M. baccata and M. prunifolia fruit, with the first four being the main volatile compounds present. Of the 92 volatiles detected, esters were the most diverse (49 compounds). This wide range of abundant volatile compounds suggests that M. prunifolia is a good resource for breeding apple cultivars with novel and interesting flavors. The M. baccata accession ‘Zhaai Shandingzi’ and the M. prunifolia accession ‘Bai Haitang’ had the widest range of volatile compounds and the highest volatile compound contents of the accessions examined, and will therefore be good breeding materials for developing commercial lines with enhanced flavor and for widening the genetic diversity. The number of different ester compounds present was significantly positively correlated (r = 0.877) with the cube root of the weight of an individual ripe fruit. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the contents of ester compounds could be used to distinguish between M. baccata and M. prunifolia species. Therefore, ester compounds could be used as a reference of parental choice in apple breeding.

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is a typical and widely used warm-season turfgrass. Low temperature is one of the key environmental stress limiting its utility. However, little information is available about the differences of cold response between bermudagrass genotypes. Here, we analyzed antioxidant defense system and fatty acid composition in cold-resistant genotype WBD128 and cold-sensitive genotype WBDg17 exposed to chilling stress. Low temperature (4 °C) significantly decreased the relative water content, whereas increased the H2O2 and O2− contents, more profoundly for WBDg17. Under chilling condition, WBD128 had higher anti O2− activity than WBDg17. Besides, the contents of total glutathione, reduced glutathione (GSH) and its oxidized form (GSSG) were markedly increased by low temperature in both genotypes, whereas WBD128 had significantly higher values of GSH, total glutathione, and GSH/GSSG ratio than WBDg17. Moreover, chilling stress increased saturated fatty acids (SFAs) percentage (palmitic acid and stearic acid) in WBDg17. After chilling treatment, the proportion of linoleic acid decreased in both genotypes, particularly in WBDg17. As for unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), the percentage of linolenic acid was increased in WBD128. In addition, chilling treatment decreased the values of double bond index (DBI), UFA/SFA ratio as well as degree of unsaturation in WBDg17. Finally, chilling stress altered the expression patterns of the genes, which encode one kind of late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEA), superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) C-repeat-binding factor/DRE-binding factor (CBF1), and peroxidase (POD-2). Collectively, our results revealed that natural variation of chilling tolerance in bermudagrass genotypes may be largely associated with the alterations of antioxidant defense system and fatty acid composition.
Interactive Short-term Effects of Waterlogging and Salinity Stress on Growth and Carbohydrate, Lipid Peroxidation, and Nutrients in Two Perennial Ryegrass Cultivars
Authors: Yin Xiujie , Zhang Chao , Song Xin , Jiang Yiwei
Published: April 2017

Waterlogging can occur in salt-affected turfgrass sites. The objective of this study was to characterize growth and carbohydrate, lipid peroxidation, and nutrient levels in the leaves and roots of two perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) cultivars (Catalina and Inspire) to short-term simultaneous waterlogging and salinity stress. Previous research showed that ‘Catalina’ was relatively more tolerant to salinity but less tolerant to submergence than ‘Inspire’. Both cultivars were subjected to 3 and 7 days of waterlogging (W), salinity [S (300 mm NaCl)], and a combination of the two stresses (WS). Across the two cultivars, W alone had little effect on the plants, while both S and WS alone significantly decreased plant height (HT), leaf fresh weight (LFW), leaf dry weight (LDW), root fresh weight (RFW), root dry weight (RDW), leaf nitrogen (LN) and carbon (LC), and leaf and root K+ (RK+), and increased leaf water-soluble carbohydrate (LWSC) and root water-soluble carbohydrate (RWSC), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Na+ content, compared with the control. A decline in chlorophyll content (Chl) was found only at 7 days of WS. Leaf phosphorus (LP) content either decreased or remained unchanged but root phosphorus content increased under S and WS. Reductions in LFW and LDW were found at 3 days of S and WS, whereas RFW and RDW were unaffected until 7 days of S or WS. Both cultivars responded similarly to W, S, and WS with a few exceptions on RDW, LWSC, leaf MDA (LMDA), and root MDA (RMDA). Although WS caused declines in Chl and resulted in higher leaf Na+ (LNa+) and root Na+ (RNa+) than S at 7 days of treatment, S and WS had similar effects on growth, carbohydrate, MDA, N, C, and phosphorus, and K+ content across the two cultivars. The results suggested that S alone largely accounted for the negative effects of WS on plant growth and physiology including alteration of carbohydrate and nutrient content as well as induction of lipid peroxidation.
IMAGINANDO CON MARÍA ZAMBRANO UN SABER SOBRE EL ALMA
Authors: Durán Palacio Nicolasa María
Published: April 2017

La autora de este artículo presenta un esbozo del saber de reconciliación en la filosofía occidental, propuesto por la filósofa María Zambrano, para quien la lógica de la racionalidad moderna introdujo en el mundo una tragedia de escisión que ha hecho padecer al hombre su existencia. La pensador a Malagueña asume su tarea filosófica como re-creación de un necesario saber reconciliado, que aviene emoción y razón, imagen y razón, poesía y filosofía en la comprensión de la existencia humana. Se trata de la configuración de un pensamiento reflejante de la vida y el pathos humano; un pensamiento que se reconduzca por los caminos concretos de la existencia sensible que reconoce sus pasiones, realidades oscuras del alma.
PERSPECTIVA EDUCATIVA DE LA RADIO UNIVERSITARIA
Authors: Mesa Granda Nubia Amparo , Vargas León Ancízar
Published: April 2017

La radio ha influido en las decisiones y comportamientos de los oyentes desde su aparición. Su alta capacidad de penetración y su lenguaje oral, la hacen un vehículo ideal para aportar al desarrollo de las comunidades, especialmente aquellas con niveles de educación bajos y pocas posibilidades de acceso al sistema educativo; aunque esas potencialidades se han diluido al convertirla, muchas veces, en simple tribuna para anunciar productos. Por eso, las radios universitarias son consideradas una opción para aportar contenidos que estimulen en las audiencias, procesos de apropiación del conocimiento y de reflexión crítica frente a su entorno. Este artículo, producto de la investigación Sentido(s) de la educación en el sistema educativo de los programas radiales denominados de carácter educativo en la emisora de interés público Universidad de Antioquia, realizado por la Facultad de Comunicación Social de la Funlam, presenta una aproximación a los fines que se persiguen y las estrategias que se plantean en la realización de los programas emitidos a través del Sistema de Radio Educativa de la Universidad de Antioquia. Al hacer un análisis de su programación se logra visualizar la concepción de radio educativa que acompaña la realización de los espacios y las dificultades que se enfrentan para concretar ese objetivo educativo.

SOBRE LA METÁFORA EN ARISTÓTELES
Authors: Viveros Chavarría Edison Francisco
Published: April 2017

En este artículo se analiza el problema de la metáfora como estrategia de enseñanza. La tesis que se argumenta es que la metáfora en Aristóteles tiene una función de enseñanza para contribuir a la comprensión de objetos o situaciones que se muestran enigmáticos, oscuros y de difícil explicación. Concluyo que Aristóteles conoce la tradición de la retórica y la dialéctica como formas de expresión del pensamiento filosófico y asume a la metáfora como un poderoso mecanismo para continuar con esa tradición desde un lugar más elevado, más recursivo, creativo y exigente. Es suficiente con reconocer el esfuerzo de este filósofo por ofrecer constantes ejemplos para generar procesos de aprendizaje por medio de la claridad, el placer y la extrañeza contenidos en la metáfora. El aporte de Aristóteles consiste en estimular el deseo de saber más sobre un problema filosófico y darle al filósofo estrategias para emprender las tareas de esclarecimiento y construcción de conceptos que le ayudaran a comprender mejor aquello que le hacía sentir agonía por no saber.

La modernidad: ¿quiénes la critican y quienes la defienden? A propósito de lo planteado por william ospina
Authors: Pino Montoya José Wilmar
Published: April 2017

Este artículo pretende exponer algunas de las críticas que realiza William Ospina a la sociedad occidental, especialmente al concepto de razón y de progreso. El objetivo es mostrar por qué el hombre occidental justifica dicha sociedad; lo anterior a propósito de los detractores de las críticas que realiza Ospina de la cultura ilustrada de occidente.Metodología: para estudiar este fenómeno se privilegió la investigación cualitativa desde un enfoque hermenéutico-interpretativo del rastreo documental sobre el tema planteado. Concluye el texto con el argumento y dando la legitimidad a las tesis de Ospina, en tanto que la razón y la sociedad occidental y el pensamiento llamado ilustrado, no ha cumplido su propósito, sino que por el contrario ha devenido una sociedad más nefasta y peligrosa, no solo para la comunidad actual, sino también para las generaciones futuras.
