Joint inversion of seismic traveltime and frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic data for hydrocarbon exploration
Authors: Ogunbo Jide Nosakare , Marquis Guy , Zhang Jie , Wang Weizhong
Published: December 2017

Geophysical joint inversion requires the setting of a few parameters for optimum performance of the process. However, there are yet no known detailed procedures for selecting the various parameters for performing the joint inversion. Previous works on the joint inversion of electromagnetic (EM) and seismic data have reported parameter applications for data sets acquired from the same dimensional geometry (either in two dimensions or three dimensions) and few on variant geometry. But none has discussed the parameter selections for the joint inversion of methods from variant geometry (for example, a 2D seismic travel and pseudo-2D frequency-domain EM data). With the advantage of affordable computational cost and the sufficient approximation of a 1D EM model in a horizontally layered sedimentary environment, we are able to set optimum joint inversion parameters to perform structurally constrained joint 2D seismic traveltime and pseudo-2D EM data for hydrocarbon exploration. From the synthetic experiments, even in the presence of noise, we are able to prescribe the rules for optimum parameter setting for the joint inversion, including the choice of initial model and the cross-gradient weighting. We apply these rules on field data to reconstruct a more reliable subsurface velocity model than the one obtained by the traveltime inversions alone. We expect that this approach will be useful for performing joint inversion of the seismic traveltime and frequency-domain EM data for the production of hydrocarbon.
Evaluation of routing protocol OSPFv3 on the link PE-CE on MPLS/VPN environments
Authors: Rocha Diego F. , Salcedo Parra Octavio Jose , Tarazona Bermudez Giovanny Mauricio
Published: December 2017

The paper must have abstract. The rapid growth of networks base on IP, and the
current challenge posed by the technological deployment of IPv6 and annexed
applications, challenges that must confront the Internet Service Provider and have
stimulated the development for rigorous researches on the topic. The Internet
Service Providers ISP offer infrastructure for implementation of virtual private
network VPN, where is fundamental the definition of routing schemas between the
border route of client CE and the provider PE. In this sense, have been proposed
different schemas where the new protocols as Open Short Path First version 3
OSPFv3 have a key role.
In the context of VPN, the routing protocol BGP is used to distribute the clientâs
path, the multi-protocol label switching MPLS is used to send the information
packages through the network core in tunnel mode. Originally, only IPv4 was
supported and expanded after support OSPFv2 and VPN IPv6. Based on the new specifications in order to support OSPFv3 as a routing protocol PE-CE and the
current technological infrastructures begin the process of IPv6 deployment, these
elements driving this research which evaluate the performance of routing protocol
OSPFv3 on border scenarios MPLS/VPN/IPv6.
Deeply rooted in the present: Contemporary street art and palimpsest memories on Réunion Island
Authors: Compan Magali
Published: December 2017

This article explores the work of street artists Kid Kréol and Boogie whose creative endeavours with visual texts constitute (re)articulations of memory and identity in Reunion Island. In abandoned industrial zones and urban locations, their work consistently features Zamérantes (creole for wandering souls) who serve as the protagonists of tales and legends from the island’s oral and written traditions. The public venues chosen for their works catalyse the meanings and messages of the works while the works reconstitute the meaning of spaces and places of exhibition. These artists purpose is to manipulate the traditional in ways that are emphatically contemporary and designed to superimpose the real and imaginary, the past and present. This article argues that these (re)visions of memory take the form of a superimposition of traces that come to constitute a new composite structure. This layering can be a superimposition of not only two moments in time but also of places, spaces and cultures that produce a chain of signification. Hence, considering KidKréol and Boogie’s art as palimpsests leads to new understandings of memory as transcultural and intertextual. It is a critically dynamic and open space composed of interconnected traces of different voices, sites and times.
Represent your origins: An analysis of the diatopic determinants of non-standard language use in French rap
Authors: Verbeke Martin
Published: December 2017

This article investigates the impact of diatopic determinants, and more specifically, ethnic and geographic origins, on non-standard language use in francophone rap (in France and Belgium). This study relies on a lexicographic analysis to produce quantitative results that are then analysed qualitatively with the help of extracts from rap tracks and semi-structured interviews with francophone rappers. This article looks at a variety of possible determinants, including multicultural communities, immigration, flows of people, notions of power relations, authenticity and conflicts between cities and départements. The general conclusion from the analysis is that the diatopic determinants do not have a marked impact on quantitative variation within the corpus when it comes to the overall use of non-standard language, although some wider differences emerge in relation to specific categories, such as the absence of verlan by Marseille rappers or the higher use of Arabic, slang and verlan by rappers of Algerian origin.
From trauma to drama: A polymorphous space for witnessing (to) the Rwandan genocide in theatre
Authors: Collins Holly , Abell Jacob
Published: December 2017

This study analyses the play, Rwanda 94, and demonstrates how it distinguishes itself from other literature dealing with the 1994 genocide. Rwanda 94 expresses a desire to bear witness to the genocide. This objective contrasts with the artistic, intellectual and political aims of other artistic projects, which often seek a swift catharsis. Rwanda 94’s structure and content suggest that the task of understanding must be preceded by an extended act of witnessing. The play creates a platform for this witnessing, facilitated by the theatre space and the relationship between the spectators and the actors. These dramatic elements differentiate Rwanda 94 from other creative attempts to represent the Rwandan genocide because the polymorphous nature of theatre allows for a better representation of the heterogeneous experiences of the event. The creation of Rwanda 94 by a diverse group results in a polyphonic project that addresses issues of authenticity, imposed identity and collaboration between francophone groups.

Hysteresis, Quasiperiodicity and Chaoticity in a Nonlinear Dissipative Hybrid Oscillator
Authors: Monwanou Adjimon Vincent , Miwadinou ClÃ©ment  HodÃ©vÃ¨wan , Ainamon Cyrille , Orou Jean Bio Chabi
Published: December 2017

Hysteresis, quasi-periodicity and chaoticity in a nonlinear dissipative hybrid oscillator are studied. The modified Rayleigh-Duffing oscillator is considered. We simultaneously take into account the new nonlinear cubic, pure quadratic and hybrid dissipative terms which modify the classical Rayleigh-Duffing oscillator. The influence of each of these new parameters on the dynamics of the oscillator has been seriously studied and interesting results are obtained. It is clear that each of these new dissipation terms can be used to control the dynamics of this oscillator. Some may be used to reduce or eliminate hysteresis, amplitude jump and resonance phenomena; others may accentuate them. Similarly, these new parameters can be used to impose on the systems modeled by this oscillator, a regular, quasi-periodic or even chaotic behavior according to their field of application. Thus, one of the original results obtained is the equation of the curve delimiting the zone of instabilities of the amplitudes of harmonic oscillations. This equation thus makes it possible to know the zone of amplitude permitted or of the amplitude jump for the systems and thus to control and predict the loss or gain of energy during this jump. Finally, the second stability of the oscillations of the system is studied as well as the influence of the dissipation parameters on this stability. It should be noted that the influence of some of these parameters depends on the simultaneous presence of these parameters.
Innovative capacity dynamics: KIBS dimensions
Authors: J-Figueiredo Ronnie , J. Ferreira João , Lima Gilson , Vieira Neto Júlio
Published: December 2017

The objective of this paper is to explain how the elements of a conceptual model based on KIBS (Knowledge Intensive Business Services) can be applied in an integrated way to assess the innovative capacity of firms in the service sector. The building of the model is based on a bibliometric analysis of the central theme KIBS, in the databases Scopus and ISI Web of Knowledge (Web of Science). We propose a conceptual model, which brings together several dimensions that have not yet been tested in economic sectors. These dimensions are: KIBS, knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, innovation and innovative capacity. The research presents interesting features from the scientific papers analyzed, highlighting gaps that gave origin to the proposed model.

Published: December 2017

This study discusses the theoretical concepts related to project management, specifically on the measurement of its implementation, through the concepts of maturity models. Moreover, in order to confirm the theoretical concepts related, it will be presented the results of a survey data conducted in an automotive industry in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro state), through the research of maturity proposed by Darci Prado. This survey will demonstrate the perception of employees at the different areas on the project maturity in this organization. In addition, the result found revealed that the organization analyzed is at the levels observed and calculated, considering the average level of maturity of the region and country. It is concluded that the Brazilian methodology adopted was effective in terms of measuring the level of maturity in a Brazilian organization. It is estimated that this work can contribute to those organizations concerned in the application of project management and that these practices become entrenched and fully disseminated and becoming part of their culture.
Relations between accountability and improvement strategies in New York City’s Children First Networks
Authors: McMahon Kelly
Published: December 2017

Federal school accountability policies like No Child Left Behind were based on a logic that measuring school performance and making the results public through tools like school report cards would incentivize educators to create strategies for improving school quality. Yet, most schools needed more than incentives to be able to design improvement strategies that would lead to all students becoming proficient in standard subjects like math and ELA. As a result, states and school districts implemented an infrastructure of supports. To date, there is little research that considers how support providers use accountability tools to diagnose problems and design targeted improvement strategies. Without better knowledge of how schools and providers commit to particular improvement strategies, it is difficult to determine whether we need better school report cards or strategies, or both to improve school quality. This study aims to address this gap by examining how four Children First Networks in New York City used accountability metrics to develop targeted improvement strategies, which led to distinctly different improvement strategies. The article closes with implications for policy.

Politique linguistique et planification linguistique pour le francoprovençal en Suisse: le cas du Valais
Authors: Diémoz Federica
Published: December 2017

Après une introduction sur la situation sociolinguistique du francoprovençal en Suisse, la contribution présentera des actions de planification linguistique entreprises récemment dans le canton du Valais pour le francoprovençal, langue vernaculaire parlée par une minorité de la population. Nous observerons ensuite les actions patrimoniales mises en œuvre par les locuteurs, des formes de patrimonialisation ordinaire. Des enquêtes de terrain réalisées avec des locuteurs natifs, des néo-locuteurs et différents acteurs locaux de cette langue minoritaire, nous permettrons d’analyser leurs discours épilinguistiques. Si nous avons pu observer des visions parfois divergentes au sujet de la transmission de la langue traditionnelle et des représentations qu’elle véhicule, un consensus fort existe sur la nécessité de sauvegarde de ce patrimoine linguistique.
Complex whey utilization: the propionic acid alternative
Authors: Vidra Aladár , Tóth András József , Németh Áron
Published: December 2017

Whey is the complex waste of the dairy industry. Despite the fact, that it has numerous applications (like different form of food supplements), its major amount is still handled as waste. The carbohydrate, protein and lactic acid content, as well as the COD and BOD, are sufficiently high warranting disposal as waste resulting in high costs; however, their levels are insufficient for the cost-effective isolation and purification. Most of the numerous reports on whey utilisation focus on lactose utilization, while lactic acid removal is complex, but necessary, particularly in case of sour whey decontamination. According to our best knowledge among the microbial fermentation, the only lactic acid (as carbon source) utilization process is propionic acid fermentation. Propionic acid is an attractive product with a wide application range. In this study, two propionic acid producing microorganisms were investigated in terms of industrial applicability. The propionic acid producing bacteria are generally characterized by anaerobic metabolism (except the pathogenic P. acne); but, for application in a biorefinery, facultative anaerobe behavior is the most appropriate and cost-effective. In this study, the aero-tolerances of Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii and Propionibacterium acidipropionici were examined; their propionic acid-producing properties (yield, concentration, substrate preference, productivity) were compared.
Advances on the group composition, mating system, roosting and flight behaviour of the European free-tailed bat (Tadarida teniotis)
Authors: Balmori Alfonso
Published: December 2017

We investigated a large colony of European free-tailed bats (Tadarida teniotis) in Spain, using a combination of capture-mark-recapture data and direct observations. Its social and reproductive organisation is complex and the mating system fits a “resource defence polygyny” model. In spring and autumn, aggressive interactions in flight, defence of roosts and mating songs of males to attract females occurred. According to our results, T. teniotis is organised in “harems” consisting of a dominant male and a variable number of females. In addition the sexual cycle displayed a bimodal reproductive pattern (this is unique and remarkable for European bats). The bimodal pattern coincided with peaks in food availability (moths) at high altitudes. Presumably, roost-guarding activities (patrolling, advertising…) make males less prone to move away (e.g. at higher altitudes and longer distances) from roosts, resulting in differences in prey selection and in altitudinal segregation between sexes. This provides a plausible explanation for the differences in diet (predation of more sedentary vs. high-flying migratory moths) between males and females that has been found in published studies.
Big-Men and Small Chiefs: The Creation of Bronze Age Societies
Authors: Iversen Rune
Published: December 2017

This paper investigates to what extent the significant material changes observable at the end of the Neolithic reflect transformations of the underlying social dynamics. Answering this question will help us to understand the formation of Bronze Age societies. The analysis concerns southern Scandinavia with a certain focus on Denmark. The assumption is that the creation of Bronze Age societies must be understood as a long formative process that partly originated in the culturally-heterogeneous Middle Neolithic. Four aspects seem to have been essential to this process: the rise of the warrior figure, the reintroduction of metal, increased agricultural production, and the establishment of one of the characteristic features of the Bronze Age, the chieftain hall. These aspects do not appear simultaneously but are introduced stepby- step starting out in the late Middle Neolithic and early Late Neolithic to fully develop around 2000 BC. Consequently, this paper argues that the final Late Neolithic (LN II, c. 1950-1700 BC) was de facto part of the Earliest Bronze Age.
Playing Reading, Using Hands: Which Activities are Linked to Number-Space Processing in Preschool Children?
Authors: Patro Katarzyna , Haman Maciej
Published: December 2017

Literate subjects from Western cultures form spatial-numerical associations (SNA) in left-to-right direction, which follows their reading habits. In preliterate children, sources of SNA directionality are more disputable. One possibility is that SNA follows children's early knowledge about text orientation. It could also reflect ipsilateral/contralateral tendencies in manual task execution. Furthermore, SNA's characteristics could differ depending on the evaluation method used. In this study, we test SNA in preliterate preschoolers using object counting, finger counting, and numerosity arrangement tasks. We examined the relations of SNA to children's directional reading knowledge and their manual response tendencies. Left-to-right SNA was pronounced for object counting, disappeared for the numerosity task, and was reversed for finger counting. In all tasks, left-to-right SNA dominated in children who responded contralaterally with their hand. Reading knowledge was partially related to numerosity-based SNA, but not to other SNAs. Based on these findings, we discuss developmental characteristics of different forms of number-space associations.
Computed tomographic perfusion imaging for the prediction of response and survival to transarterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Popovic Peter , Leban Ana , Kregar Klara , Garbajs Manca , Dezman Rok , Bunc Matjaz
Published: December 2017

Background

The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the clinical value of computed tomographic perfusion imaging (CTPI) parameters in predicting the response to treatment and overall survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEBTACE).

Patients and methods

Between December 2010 and January 2013 eighteen patients (17 men, 1 woman; mean age 69 ± 5.8 years) with intermediate stage HCC underwent CTPI of the liver prior to treatment with DEBTACE. Treatment response was evaluated on follow-up imaging according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Pre-treatment CTPI parameters were compared between patients with complete response and partial response with a Student t-test. We compared survival times with Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

CTPI parameters of patients with complete response and others did not show statistical significant difference. The mean survival time was 25.4 ± 3.2 months (95%; CI: 18.7-32.1). Survival was statistically significantly longer in patients with hepatic blood flow (BF) lower than 50.44 ml/100 ml/min (p = 0.033), hepatic blood volume (BV) lower than 13.32 ml/100 ml (p = 0.028) and time to peak (TTP) longer than 19.035 s (p = 0.015).

Conclusions

CTPI enables prediction of survival in patients with intermediate stage HCC, treated with DEBTACE based on the pre-treatment values of BF, BV and TTP perfusion parameters. CT perfusion imaging can’t be used to predict treatment response to DEBTACE.
„Figur“, „Grund“ und narrative Kontinuität in der Grammatikalisierung des gotischen Protoartikels
Authors: Pimenova Natalia
Published: December 2017

The author investigates the use of proto-article with locative nouns in the Gothic Bible and shows that the choice in Gothic among the anaphoric pronoun sa (proto-article) and Ø is pragmatically/functionally motivated. The locative nouns are mostly inherently definite and unmarked because of being elements of the frame in natural discourse. However, the anaphoric pronoun is used with unexpected locative objects or locative objects in surprising situations. It also marks the change NomLoc as ground > NomLoc as figure and serves as a highlighting device and as an attention-getter. When the topic-continuity is violated, the anaphoric pronoun is used as an invitation addressed to the hearer to mobilize previous knowledge in order to retrieve the referent. The investigation sheds light on the process of language change that led to the shift from demonstrative to article and the overall spread of anaphoric article.
Serum and urine vitamin D metabolite analysis in early preeclampsia
Authors: Tamblyn J A , Jenkinson C , Larner D P , Hewison M , Kilby M D
Published: December 2017

Vitamin D deficiency is common in pregnant women and may contribute to adverse events in pregnancy such as preeclampsia (PET). To date, studies of vitamin D and PET have focused primarily on serum concentrations vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) later in pregnancy. The aim here was to determine whether a more comprehensive analysis of vitamin D metabolites earlier in pregnancy could provide predictors of PET. Using samples from the SCOPE pregnancy cohort, multiple vitamin D metabolites were quantified by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry in paired serum and urine prior to the onset of PET symptoms. Samples from 50 women at pregnancy week 15 were analysed, with 25 (50%) developing PET by the end of the pregnancy and 25 continuing with uncomplicated pregnancy. Paired serum and urine from non-pregnant women (n = 9) of reproductive age were also used as a control. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and 3-epi-25(OH)D3 were measured and showed no significant difference between women with uncomplicated pregnancies and those developing PET. As previously reported, serum 1,25(OH)2D3 was higher in all pregnant women (in the second trimester), but serum 25(OH)D2 was also higher compared to non-pregnant women. In urine, 25(OH)D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 were quantifiable, with both metabolites demonstrating significantly lower (P < 0.05) concentrations of both of these metabolites in those destined to develop PET. These data indicate that analysis of urinary metabolites provides an additional insight into vitamin D and the kidney, with lower urinary 25(OH)D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 excretion being an early indicator of a predisposition towards developing PET.
Growth and characterization of succinic acid-mixed KHP crystal for NLO applications
Authors: Arul Jothi R , Mullai R U , Vinoth E , Suresh T , Gopinath S , Vetrivel S
Published: December 2017

Semiorganic single crystals of succinic acid-mixed potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHPSA) were grown from an aqueous solution by the slow evaporation method at room temperature. The structural properties of the grown crystals have been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis. Ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectral analysis showed that the mixed crystal has a lower UV cutoff wavelength of 226 nm combined with good transparency of about 55% in a very wide range. The second harmonic generation efficiency test has been carried out and the results are discussed. Thermogravimetric–differential thermal analyses were carried out to characterize the melting behavior and thermal stability of the mixed crystal. The hardness profile of the sample is investigated by using the Vickers microhardness test. The electrical properties have been studied by carrying out dielectric constant studies. Determination of the microstructure and composition of the KHPSA crystal has been carried out by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy.
Genauigkeit von Messgeräten überwachen
Authors: Hauff Thomas , Liang Wushan , Strauß Matthias , Brecher Christian , Obdenbusch Markus
Published: December 2017

In komplexen Schutzeinrichtungen, bei denen mehrere Messsignale durch mathematische Berechnungen zu einem sicherheitsrelevanten Resultat verknüpft werden, können Messfehler das Resultat beträchtlich verfälschen. Bereits eine geringe Verschlechterung der Messunsicherheit muss daher zuverlässig erkannt werden. Es wurde eine Strategie entwickelt, um das Driften von Messsignalen in Schutzeinrichtungen durch Vergleich redundanter Kanäle automatisch zu detektieren. Als partial proof test zwischen Kalibrierungen werden die redundanten Kanäle gegeneinander geprüft. Dazu können in regelmäßigen Abständen die Differenzen der Kanäle bei ungestörten Testsituationen überwacht werden. Die Zuverlässigkeit dieser Methode zur Drifterkennung wurde durch eine Analyse der Fehlerwahrscheinlichkeit verifiziert. Zur Vereinfachung sollen normale Betriebsdaten anstelle definierter Testsituationen verwendet werden. Das erfordert eine hohe Qualität der zu vergleichenden Signale, was in der Praxis wegen Fluktuationen der Messsignale nicht ohne weitere Maßnahmen möglich ist. Daher wurde eine Methode zur Trendanalyse der Signale entwickelt. Dazu werden ein rekursives Tiefpassfilter und ein Differenzierer zur Vorverarbeitung der Signale verwendet, sodass sich die Methode in typischen sicherheitsgerichteten Steuerungen einfach online realisieren lässt.

Teaching Note: The Spell Craft of Social Work: Harry Potter and Social Justice
Authors: Satterly Brent
Published: December 2017

J. K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter series describes a magical world of witches and wizards that exists in the ordinary world. Captivating an entire generation, Harry Potter is a lore that can teach today's undergraduate social work students about the power of advocacy for social change and the pursuit of social justice. Activating Millennial motivation, this cultural phenomenon provides themes, characters, and magical environments exploring identity, human development, trauma, families, oppression, privilege, power structures, groups, and diversity. For instance, how does studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry illuminate the intersectionality of identities in our pluralistic society? How does Draco Malfoy's exploration of his pureblood privilege and prejudice reflect White guilt and racism? And most poignantly, what role does Harry Potter play as change agent? This article takes us into the Pensieve to describe the scaffolding development of the course titled The Spell Craft of Social Work: Harry Potter and Social Justice.
A FUNÇÃO DO RISO NA OBRA DE SAMUEL BECKETT: UMA ANÁLISE DO CÔMICO EM MOLLOY
Authors: Casini Maria Cecilia , Cavalcanti Thaís Helena de Barros Neves
Published: December 2017

Presente em toda a obra de Samuel Beckett, o cômico torna-se mais radical a cada etapa de sua narrativa. Partindo dos procedimentos paródicos nos textos dos anos 30, o cômico corrói as estruturas do gênero nos romances dos anos 50 e avança, por fim, sobre a própria linguagem por volta dos anos 70. Este artigo estabelece uma relação entre a teoria do riso de Henri Bergson e o romance Molloy (1951). A partir desta análise, podemos perceber como as ideias de Bergson sobre a rigidez (de corpo, de caráter, de linguagem) ajudam a explicar os efeitos metanarrativos do cômico desta segunda fase. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.

Authors: Verardi Burlamaque Fabiane , Zanatta Deisi Luzia
Published: December 2017

Este artigo visa analisar como é representada a prática transgressora de emancipação da protagonista Edna Pontellier, no romance The Awakening, da escritora norte-americana Kate Chopin mediante a categoria da personagem, do narrador e foco narrativo. Para tal buscamos subsídios teóricos em Candido (1976), Rosenfeld (1969) e Forster (2005) sobre a natureza e a classificação da personagem de ficção; Genette (1972) acerca da teoria da narrativa, o qual trata sobre o narrador heterodiegético e de Friedman (2002) sobre o foco narrativo, especificamente, a onisciência seletiva e seletiva múltipla. O estudo mostra que, muitas vezes, a escritora deixa transparecer os sentimentos e percepções da protagonista, bem como das demais personagens, permitindo ao leitor (a) saber que ideologia atravessa a mente dos seres ficcionais.   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
RELIGIÃO E VIOLÊNCIA EM A HORA E A VEZ DE AUGUSTO MATRAGA
Authors: Pereira João Batista
Published: December 2017

Este artigo busca refletir sobre a configuração da violência no conto A hora e a vez de Augusto Matraga, de Guimarães Rosa. Ao creditar importância aos condicionantes históricos para entender a natureza brutal da sociedade sertaneja, destacamos em nossa análise como a religião edifica uma nova forma de opressão, operando contra os princípios éticos e morais que definem a subjetividade do protagonista. Os pressupostos teóricos antevistos no livro Origem do drama trágico alemão, de Walter Benjamin, em cujos fundamentos a alegoria, em liame com a perspectiva dialética, se alça como categoria analítica, embasaram a leitura do relato rosiano. Concluímos que, ao abandonar as práticas cristãs e se voltar para a face secular do sertão, a formação pietista de Augusto Matraga foi insuficiente para redimir as atribulações de sua alma. Para aceitar o fardo que era viver em um espaço social profanado pela história e abandonado por Deus, a morte se insurge como um espelho que reflete os contornos mais luminosos de sua redenção.  This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
A DESIGNAÇÃO DA SINGULARIDADE NO RESSOAR DO JOGO ENTRE A ESTRUTURA E O ACONTECIMENTO
Authors: Braga Sandro , Meneghel Patrícia Da Silva
Published: December 2017

Neste artigo discute-se a noção de estrutura e de acontecimento aproximando as perspectivas teóricas propostas por Gilles Deleuze, Michel Pêcheux e Michel Foucault. Além da desses autores, a noção de estruturalidade, de Derrida, é empreendia para a sustentação do argumento de que para existir uma estrutura é preciso haver, antes, o que o autor chama condições para a existência da estrutura, que neste artigo está sendo tratada como arquiestrutura, condição não só para a instauração da estrutura como também do enunciado, do acontecimento e da singularidade. Para isso, percorre-se o percurso teórico-metodológico no intento de pontuar o ingresso da subjetividade na linguagem a partir da perspectiva enunciativa e a abertura para os estudos do discurso. Na sequência, apresenta-se a proposta central deste trabalho buscando-se mostrar como a singularidade é designada no acontecimento que tem como ponto de emergência o enunciado fruto do ressoar da estrutura determinante. As discussões apontam a singularidade como o efeito de real, materializada no enunciado a partir do ressoar entre a estrutura e o acontecimento. Em outros termos, a singularidade está justamente na efetivação do acontecimento, atualizando-o em um contínuo incessante, mas, por outro lado, evadindo-se dele e se prolongando a outros acontecimentos descontínuos.   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.

Como aporte teórico, propõe-se uma articulação entre a Semântica de Frames, na perspectiva dos frames de compreensão (ZIEM, 2014), e o conceito de perfilamento (LANGACKER, 1987; 2008). Como corpus de estudo, foram utilizados acórdão da ADPF 54, bem como as notas taquigráficas que registram os depoimentos das quatro audiências públicas realizadas. Esses dados foram processados pela ferramenta Sketch Engine. Os resultados mostraram que, no processo como um todo, predominam as conceptualizações em que feto anencéfalo é conceptualizado por meio de perfilamentos contra slots como [anomalia], [morte] e [ausência de atividade neurológica], negando-se, ao feto anencéfalo, a proteção jurídica dada a outros fetos por meio da Constituição.   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.

There is often criticism from industry that there are not enough ICT skilled professionals in the market, and that the situation may only be getting worse. On the other hand, some ICT graduates struggle to find jobs. This phenomenon is referred to as the ICT skills paradox. A recent panel at the 2015 South Africa Computer Lecturers Association (SACLA) conference composed of leaders from industry, academia and government discussed their perspectives on the ICT skills paradox. The Habermasian goal of the panel, and the objective of this research, was to make sense of the paradox from the different sectors’ worldviews involved in ICT skills, and to identify mutually acceptable means of dealing with the paradox. The discourse of the panel session was analysed using techniques from grounded theory. There were three overarching findings; South Africa needs a formal accreditation body which is sensitive to and reflective of the unique local contexts; there is a need for a central coordinating agency on ICT skills between academia, government and industry; and rather than attempt to define ICT or ICT skills, efforts should be placed on embracing transdisciplinary practices. Based on the findings, the paper makes recommendations on how to deal with the contrasts, the dynamism of the ICT sector, and how the current ICT skills paradox could be resolved in South Africa and similar developing country contexts. The paper also makes a contribution to ICT theory on how to achieve consensus and implement ICT strategies from seemingly contradictory sectors using Habermas’ theory on social interactions.

Estratégias de leitura, sob o olhar de duas docentes no Ensino Fundamental I
Authors: Gomes Aline Neves , Cechella Nara Cristine Thomé Palácios
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo traz uma reflexão docente acerca das questões relacionadas às Estratégias de Leitura no Ensino Fundamental I, em uma Rede de Ensino do Município de Içara. Tentou-se apresentar a importância das estratégias de leitura, e como podem auxiliar na compreensão leitora dos alunos. O artigo teve o objetivo de verificar de que forma o professor desenvolve a leitura de forma significativa, identificando a importância das estratégias de leitura dos vários tipos de gêneros textuais. Para construir o referencial teórico, foram usadas e pesquisadas algumas ideias de alguns autores, entre eles destacam-se: Emmel (2003), Freire (1989), Leffa (1996), documentos norteadores como Proposta Pedagógica Curricular de Içara, o PPP (Projeto Político Pedagógico) da escola e o Projeto Anual Escolar. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário, com duas professoras que responderam às questões, conforme seus conhecimentos e suas práticas docentes vivenciadas. O artigo mostrou que a escola investigada possui um grande interesse sobre a leitura, mas quando colocado em prática, fica visível que o assunto se mostra vago, além de as professoras também apresentarem a falta de argumentos e embasamentos teóricos sobre o assunto.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Compreensão Leitora.

A leitura é uma prática social que requer dos sujeitos conhecimentos para que saibam fazer uso de diferentes textos presentes na sociedade, uso este que possibilita crescimento na habilidade da produção de leitura, o que contribui aos diferentes aspectos de vida de quem lê. Sendo assim, este trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar como a prática de leitura está presente no processo de formação leitora de alunos repetentes do 5º ano do ensino fundamental que vivem em situação de vulnerabilidade social. A partir do objetivo geral, foram elaborados os objetivos específicos que visam: identificar se os alunos gostam de ler; reconhecer as formas de escolha de leitura realizadas pelos alunos; verificar qual importância que o processo de leitura possui para os alunos e refletir sobre como são realizadas as atividades de leitura em sala de aula. A metodologia utilizada estrutura-se numa pesquisa de campo, que teve como instrumento para coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada aplicada a dez alunos com idade entre 10 e 12 anos. É caracterizada como uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa e do tipo exploratória. Com a finalização do trabalho, conclui-se que a leitura é uma atividade que está presente no processo de formação leitora dos entrevistados, porém, de uma forma ainda limitada, devido às circunstâncias de vida em que se encontram os alunos e que causam influências ao acesso à leitura e ao progresso na formação da habilidade do ato de ler.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Leitura.

Sequência didática na perspectiva das professoras de Educação Infantil
Authors: Anacleto Vanessa Simão , Camargo Gislene
Published: December 2017

Este estudo procura analisar os desafios e as possibilidades que as professoras da Educação Infantil encontram ao trabalharem com sequência didática. Para isso foi necessário identificar o tipo de formação recebida pelas professoras para trabalhar com esse planejamento e investigar se na visão das mesmas, esse planejamento contribui para o desenvolvimento integral das crianças. Nesse sentido, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a sequência didática a partir das teorias de Oliveira (2013) e Zabala (1998), complementadas pelos estudos de Freire (1979), Kramer (2005), Libâneo (2001) Saviani (2000), Veiga (2013). A pesquisa teve cunho qualitativo com a realização de uma entrevista semi-estruturada com cinco professoras que atuam na Educação Infantil, em uma Instituição de Ensino da Rede Municipal de Criciúma/SC e que utiliza a sequência didática como planejamento. Diante da análise de dados foi possível perceber que as professoras entrevistadas, não conheciam esse planejamento antes de iniciar na instituição que trabalham hoje, disseram ter recebido formação sobre a sequência didática na instituição em que aprenderam a trabalhar esse planejamento. Consideram a sequência didática como uma das melhores formas de planejamento para ser utilizado na Educação Infantil. Enquanto desafio, as entrevistadas destacaram o desconhecimento sobre o planejamento e quanto às possibilidades indicaram que o trabalho com sequência didática contribui com a aprendizagem das crianças, permitindo a participação das mesmas.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Educação Infantil.

In Dogs With a European Adder Bite, Does the Use of Antivenom With
Supportive Treatment Compared to Supportive Treatment Alone Improve Time to
Recovery?
Authors: Hodgson Lindsay , Brambilla Giorgia
Published: December 2017

The current literature does not offer convincing evidence for
the positive effect of antivenom on time to recovery in dogs envenomated by
the European adder. It appears that the use of antivenom in addition to
supportive treatment may positively affect local swelling if given within 24
hours of the bite, but the evidence is low quality and further studies are
required before a more definitive answer can be
reached.

In Dogs With Traumatic Elbow Luxation, Does Treatment Using Closed
Reduction and Conservative Management Have a Better Prognosis Than Those
Treated With Open Reduction and Surgery?
Authors: Dean Barnaby Luke
Published: December 2017

Clinical bottom
line:

In the available literature, cases of
traumatic elbow luxation managed by closed reduction appear to have a better
long-term prognosis  than cases managed by open reduction and surgical
stabilisation. That being said, it is important to consider that the poorer
outcome in surgically-managed cases could reflect the severity or chronicity
of the injury rather than the treatment method itself, or indeed could
reflect a combination of the two.

Closed reduction of
traumatic canine elbow luxation should be attempted in all cases as soon as
possible as this is associated with a better prognosis. Should closed
reduction not be possible, or should the elbow remain unstable or reluxate
following closed reduction, surgical intervention is indicated. Joint
immobilisation is recommended with either a Robert Jones bandage or splinted
bandage for two-to-four weeks following treatment.
