Developing a Practice of Cultural Awareness in Pre-Service Teachers by Promoting Positive Dialogue Around Diversity
Authors: Watson Allyson Leggett
Published: February 2017

Within higher education there are dynamic constructs surrounding discussions on race, gender and bias. Courses detailing inclusive pedagogy and university restructuring for diversity initiatives are at the forefront of higher education administration strategic planning. By drilling down into educator preparation programs, it is often assumed that the notion of conversations about diversity and teaching cultural awareness has long been a standard of practice. Solid educator preparation programs tout cultural awareness and assist in preparing teachers to effectively teach and serve in diverse school settings. This preparation allows for new teachers to feel secure in methods to meet the needs of learners through content and personal connection. This chapter will identify the strengths of a pre-service teacher preparation program designed to implement cultural conversation early in the baccalaureate program. The program is centered around learning strategies, techniques and pedagogical practices based on theoretical implications and class discourse relating to all areas of diversity.
Academic ESP Oral Production
Authors: García-Sánchez Soraya , Hernández-Guerra Conchi
Published: February 2017

Current higher education students are frequently engaged to 24/7 interconnectedness, which should contribute towards their careful awareness of other languages and cultures at the time of receiving or communicating information. English remains the international language higher education learners and professional citizens in general need to perform to access the most competent job vacancies. This chapter is based on assessing oral production tasks that pursue to enhance speaking skills, team-work competences, and problem-solving in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses in the Degrees of History and Social Work. The results compare not only the oral outcomes of these two ESP groups but what evaluation procedures and assessment criteria have been considered to promote successful communication in English. Equally, this ESP content would be analysed to observe if teams succeeded in building not only local needs but also a conscious global education that is responsibly engaged with other cultures, as promoted by the global competence.
“Imagioneering” a New Mission Space
Authors: Seiverd Kyle
Published: February 2017

Incorporating STEAM into classroom practice can be both challenging and daunting. “Imagioneering” a new Mission: Space showcases a way to utilize STEAM into the environmental earth science classroom. Using the familiarity many students have with Disney, critical analysis is applied to the design of a famous park ride. Ride-layout is critiqued and improved upon via student collaboration. Students then use their ability to analyze design to build a structure that fits a particular purpose. This project is geared towards the high school level and students redesign the exterior and line-queue for Mission: Space.
Bee Pollination
Authors: Rizzuto Kerry Carley , Henning John , Duckett Catherine
Published: February 2017

The purpose of the chapter is to provide an exemplar of an inquiry-based unit on pollination for designing and implementing constructivist instructional practices while simultaneously providing outstanding teacher preparation. The unit on pollination was developed by preservice teachers through a partnership between the Monmouth Conservation Foundation and the Monmouth University School of Education. Through collective action, these institutions were able to enhance student learning on a vital part of the science curriculum, provide a rich clinical experience for pre-service teachers, and to familiarize teachers with a more constructivist approach to pre-school science instruction.
Finding and Using the ART in Science Lessons
Authors: Finson Kevin D.
Published: February 2017

Teachers can find art in their science lessons if they know what to look for. The art in many science lessons is in the form of visual representations, which can be seen to exist on a continuum ranging from very concrete and iconic to very abstract and symbolic. There should be a progression through a lesson that guides students in identifying, interpreting, and analyzing different visual representations, and ultimately help them know how to create their own. The teacher should be very deliberate in his/her selection, generation, and/or use of visual representations. Five critical things the teacher should be mindful of include: (1) how the learner's mind processes visual information, (2) what visual literacy is, (3) what is meant by cognitive loading, (4) different types of visual representations, and (5) augmenting student learning by using a variety of visual encryptions.
Tower Design as a STEAM Project
Authors: Bazler Judith A.
Published: February 2017

The next generation science standards promote the teaching of engineering skills including the designing, testing and building of models. Tower building can provide a real world experience that not only provides the students with physics and mathematics through motion and stability but the explanation of the use of models and the engineering practice of design, redesign and testing of these models. Tia Pilskow (2014) used the project of building a tower with her middle school students in order to provide a cooperative team long term project. She focused first on the design using background information on existing towers. She required each team to design their tower first using graph paper and scale. This process stressed the need for Art and Mathematics in the STEAM project. The science, technology and engineering also played a major part in the design. The case included in this article expands her process by including a cost analysis attempting to promote real world engineering.
A Mathematical Approach to Designing Insulators
Authors: Pedings-Behling Kathryn E.
Published: February 2017

How do we keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold? Companies such as Tervis, YETI, and Thermos spend their time researching and designing products around that very question. In this lesson, students will discover, through mathematical modeling, which materials provide the best insulation and be tasked with designing their own insulator. This lesson has been designed at two different levels for students from grade three through high school with an optional extension activity for more advanced students. Students will use technology to explore the rate of change of the temperature of hot water over two minutes using different insulation materials. After this exploration, students will use the data they have collected to determine the best materials for designing their own insulator. This insulator will then be judged based on the ability to keep a hot drink hot and on the aesthetic value.

Using STEAM in Marine Science
Authors: Dollahon Callie (Van Koughnett)
Published: February 2017

This case summarizes two perspectives on inclusion of Arts in STEM/STEAM education, and how they influence the modification of an existing STEM lesson. Teachers are encouraged to use many instruction models throughout their careers, and inclusion of new methods can seem daunting. This case hopes to illustrate how STEAM education can be included in a classroom through intentional use of graphic design in an everyday lesson or a longer unit. Students in the case are asked to design and build a robotic arm that is capable of accomplishing a task such as move or grasp an object. The specific context is Marine Science in nature, but can be adapted to many other content areas.

The Coming Out Experience of Individuals Who Identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender
Authors: Marmo Jonathan , Silton Nava R.
Published: February 2017

This literature review will explore the relationships of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and their fears of how their relationships will be affected after coming out of the closet. This chapter will review the stages in Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages of Development that most pertain to the coming out years; stages associated with the fourteen to seventeen year age range. Erikson's Stage 5 (Identity versus Role Confusion) and Stage 6 (Intimacy versus Isolation) are most relevant to the aforementioned developmental time frame. This review will illuminate how each individual's life is unique and how he or she can be part of different societies, cultures, and communities that alter his or her coming out experience. This chapter will explore a variety of factors that differ from person to person such as family support, ethnic background, peer groups, and even work environments.
Relationship Literacy
Authors: Opiyo Valerie Awino , Ives Yossi
Published: February 2017

This chapter will explore the attitudes of young women between the ages of 18-25 years towards romantic relationships in the slums of Nairobi, with a view to wider lessons for young women in other societies. Through four case studies examining the lives, relationships and motherhood experiences in Mukuru Kwa Ruben slum, key themes are suggested to explain the high rate of early and single motherhood. Through the construct of ‘relationship literacy,' the chapter will suggest that poor or non-existent male role models, weak or negative experiences of committed relationships, combined with harsh socio-economic consequences have resulted in young women having a little notion of what a real relationship is or what commitment is about. In the conclusion, it is suggested that to achieve improved relationships and life chances for young women both in the slums and well beyond, it is vital to focus on promoting and enhancing the relationship literacy of girls and young women, to enable them to make effective life choices.
Young Children and Digital Media in the Home
Authors: Dias Patricia , Brito Rita
Published: February 2017

This chapter presents an overview of the digital practices of young children (under 8 years old) in the home. At such an early age, parents are the main mediators of the contact with digital media, thus paying a preponderant role in shaping young children's practices, perceptions and attitudes. In this chapter, we present partial results of a European-scale qualitative project that followed a methodology based on grounded theory, using interviews to families as method. Our findings reveal different roles played by the parents – role models, gatekeepers, companions, and supervisors. We also found that these different roles are related to the parenting style and also to the parents' own digital practices, and most importantly to perceptions and attitudes towards digital media.
Palynological analyses of the two Labrador Shelf wells, Petro-Canada et al. Corte Real P-85 and Petro-Canada et al. Pothurst P-19, offshore Newfoundland and Labrador
Authors: Williams G L
Published: February 2017

Both the Saglek and Hopedale sedimentary basins, respectively located on the northern and southern offshore Labrador margins, attracted hydrocarbon exploration in the 1970s and early 1980s. Two significant wells were Corte Real P-85 in the Hopedale Basin and
Pothurst P-19 in the Saglek Basin. To determine the ages and paleoenvironments of the sediments in these wells, I undertook analyses of the organic-walled microfossils (dinocysts, miospores, acritarchs, chitinozoa), which are collectively termed palynomorphs. Both wells encountered only Tertiary
sediments, with Corte Real P-85 being in the Ypresian at total depth and Pothurst P-19 being in the Lutetian at total depth. In both wells I identified a thick Lutetian section, an unusual occurrence in Labrador Shelf wells. One pleasant surprise was the flood of small pollen grains in the
Plio-Pleistocene of Corte Real P-85, which holds promise for subdividing this time interval in Labrador Shelf wells. Reworking trends occur in both wells, with Carboniferous spores and Cretaceous spores and dinocysts common in Corte Real P-85, whereas in Pothurst P-19 only Cretaceous palynomorphs
are reworked. Presumably the specimens were transported from the west and northwest. Significant breaks in the section are the apparent absence of Bartonian and Middle Miocene and the attenuated Priabonian sediments in Pothurst P-19. Neither well discovered oil nor natural
gas.
Tracing gold mobility using in situ Pb isotope geochemistry of early and remobilized sulphide minerals, Meliadine gold district
Authors: Lawley C J M , Jackson S E , Yang Z , Davis W J , Creaser R A , Mercier-Langevin P , Dubé B
Published: February 2017

The late timing of gold is a characteristic feature of orogenic gold deposits. For many of these deposits, gold and other metals were liberated from the host greenstone belt and/or early sulfides concomitant with the syndeformational and fluid-assisted
metamorphic transition of pyrite to pyrrhotite and remobilized into late, high-grade ore shoots. However, this metamorphic-driven gold-upgrading model is usually inferred, at least in part, from mineral textures, which can be equivocal in the absence of geochemical and/or isotopic constraints.
Herein, we report new bulk mineral separate and in situ Pb isotope results for minerals in key textures in the Paleoproterozoic Meliadine gold district. Arsenopyrite and pyrite porphyroblasts occur in Paleoproterozoic quartz ± ankerite veins and are enveloped by remobilized pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite, and galena crystals that accompany gold in late, microtextural sites, a texture that forms the basis for the gold-upgrading model. Early, sieve-textured arsenopyrite and pyrite are gold rich and tend to yield the least radiogenic Pb isotope compositions (high 207Pb/206Pb and
208Pb/206Pb ratios), suggesting these relict domains escaped complete recrystallization during later reworking. Late, inclusion-free arsenopyrite and pyrite overgrowths scatter to more radiogenic Pb isotope compositions (low 207Pb/206Pb and 208Pb/206Pb ratios) and are typically gold poor, which we
attribute to reworking and precipitation from a younger and more radiogenic fluid prior to and/or during the precipitation of free gold in variably plunging high-grade ore shoots at 1.90 to 1.85 Ga. Remobilized sulfides are the youngest sulfide phases, but locally yield low 206Pb/204Pb and
207Pb/204Pb ratios and, thus spurious old model mp;lt;"ages,mp;gt;" which overlap with the least radiogenic, sieve-textured arsenopyrite/pyrite domains. The isotopic signature of these remobilized sulfides was likely inherited from Pb liberated during reworking of early arsenopyrite and pyrite and a
second, crustal Pb source that was introduced during late remobilization. Our results highlight the importance of element recycling from early sulfides and/or the Neoarchean deposit host rocks during significantly younger Paleoproterozoic reworking and gold remobilization. The in situ Pb isotope
results of early and remobilized sulfides document the transition of gold from source to sponge to sink, which is likely a feature that occurred during the formation of other orogenic-style gold deposits.
Chemical reaction in MHD flow past a vertical plate with mass diffusion and constant wall temperature with hall current
Authors: Rajput U. S. , Kanaujia Neetu
Published: February 2017

Chemical reaction plays an important role in MHD flow. It has industrial applications, such as design of chemical processing equipments, food processing and cooling towers etc. In the present paper, chemical reaction effect on a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid with unsteady MHD flow past an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable mass diffusion and constant wall temperature is studied. The solution of the model is obtained by Laplace transform method. The effect of parameters is shown with the help of graphs. The skin-friction and Sherwood number have been tabulated. It has been observed that chemical reaction has decreasing effect on fluid velocity. Our study gets motivation from the study of Narayanan et al. (2016), which has similar findings on chemical reaction with a slightly different fluid model.Keywords: Chemical reaction, MHD, Hall current, Skin friction, and Sherwood number.
Socio – economic impact of pastoral activities in Olorunsogo Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Okunlola O.O.
Published: February 2017

Pastoral activities contribute positively to the local economy of the community where they exist, although such activities come with some inherent challenges. This study was aimed at determining the various contributions of pastoralism in Olorunsogo Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo state, Nigeria. A total of 140 interview schedules were used to elicit information from the respondents: for crop farmers, 100 schedules were used, 20 for pastoralists and 10 each for community leaders and law enforcement agents. A multi stage sampling of the crop farmers was adopted. In the first stage, the study area was divided into five zones while the second stage had each zone divided into four quarters. In the third stage, five interview schedules were administered in each quarter. Also, purposive and random sampling of the pastoralists, community leaders and law enforcement agents was conducted. The data obtained were processed and subjected to descriptive statistics using frequency count and simple percentage. The results obtained showed that crop destruction (20.79 %), water source pollution (18.31%) and theft (12.38%) were major problems the crop farmers encountered from pastoral activities while pastoralists experienced cattle theft (65%) and livestock poisoning (35%) from actions of crop farmers. Also, crop farmers and pastoralists (32.19, 51.28) % respectively indicated provision of grazing reserves by government as a prevention strategy to the problem. Majority of the crop farmers (34.07%) and pastoralists (53.33%) respectively stated that destruction of property and animosity with their crop farmer neighbours as the major effects of the conflicts. Concerning the resolution strategies, 29.66% of the crop farmers reported to law enforcement agents while 41.46% of the pastoralists indicated payment of compensation to the victims. Also, provision of grazing reserves by government was suggested as a prevention strategy to the problem by crop farmers and pastoralists (32.19, 51.28) % respectively.Keywords: crop farmers, pastoralists, conflict prevention, conflict resolution

Published: February 2017

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different processing methods on some macro-minerals in West African soft unripened cheese. Milk was processed by blending with high speed mixer for five (5) minutes followed by pasteurization of the blended milk (Blended Pasteurized Milk: BPM). Milk was also fortified with 6 % skimmed milk powder (31.50g skimmed milk in 500ml milk) followed by the pasteurization of fortified milk (Fortified Pasteurized Milk: FPM). Raw milk served as the control. Fresh cheese was coagulated from 500ml milk using 3.75 ml (0.75 % v/v) Calotropis procera medium sized (8 x 15 cm) leaf extract as milk coagulant. Each treatment was replicated four (4) times. Range 0.16 – 0.24 % Ca was obtained. The Ca content of fortified pasteurized milk cheese for the cheeses produced was similar to the control. Fortified pasteurized milk cheese contained significantly higher Na and Cl than raw milk cheese. However, Na and Cl values obtained for FPM cheese and BPM cheese were similar being 0.08 and 0.05, 0.06 and 0.04 % Na and Cl respectively. Milk processing method had little (P > 0.05) effect on the K and Mg content of cheese. It was concluded that raw milk should be used in producing West African soft unripened cheese because milk fortification with blended milk and blending with pasteurization of milk significantly increased the Na content of cheese and this may pose some health risks.Keywords: Blended Pasteurized Milk, Fortified Pasteurized Milk, Raw Milk, Cheese, health risks

The distribution of medicinal and food tree species in Owerri West Local Government Area (LGA) of Imo State were assessed. Data were collected using socio-economic survey and biological study. A total of 50 respondents from the study area were randomly selected and relevant information on the uses and contributions of tree species of food and medicinal importance was collected through the use of semi-structured questionnaire and Focused Group Discussion (FGD). A total of ten communities were sampled, with one community in each of the ten political wards in the LGA. Tree species of ethno-botany and food relevance were identified and enumerated in the course of field survey in the study communities. The spatial distributions of six most-frequently utilized tree species were mapped using Geographical Information System (GIS). Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance. A total of 22 tree species, belonging to16 families, known to be used for medicinal and food purposes, were identified in the ten study communities. Dacryodes edulis of the family Burseraceae was the most abundant tree species in the area having about 13% of the species encountered. In the study locations, the least-occurring species were Dialium guineensis and Garcinia kola with 0.27% each. Fabaceae and Rutaceae were the most represented families with 13.64% and 3 species each belonging to each of the two families. The six (6) mostly utilized species in the area were Dacryodes edulis, Chrysophyllum albidium, Persea americana, Psidium guajava, Mangifera indica and Moringa oleifera.

Published: February 2017

Characterization of West African Dwarf goat is an approach to a sustainable use of its great potentials. In this study, strains of WAD goat were characterized using linear body measurement. The WAD goat included the gold (brown), black, buckskin and chaimose of ages 1, 2, 3 and 4 years,raised under extensive system of management. The quantitative traits measured included the face length (FaL), ear length (EL), ear width (EW), fore limb length (FL), hind limb length (HL), tail length (TL), height at wither (HW), hip width (HpW), body length (BL) and live weight (LW) of the animal. Attainment of highest live weight with age varied in this goat. At age 3 years, the chaimose (16.67 ± 3.35kg) was superior in live weight to the gold (14.88 ± 3.73kg).At age 4 years, the buckskin (19.23 ± 6.83kg) was superior in live weight to the black (16.69 + 7.79kg). At age 3 years, FL, HL, HW and HpW was 10.39 ± 0.57 inches, 11.43 ± 0.55 inches, 16.91 ± 0.89 inches, 5.42 ± 1.01 inches respectively in chaimose WAD goat. At age 4 years, FL, HL, HW, HpW was 9.89 ± 2.29 inches, 10.97 ± 2.49 inches, 16.8 ± 3.95 inches, 5.60 ± 1.53 inches respectively in buckskin WAD goat. Live weight was positive and highly significantly correlated (P<0.05) with all body parameters in the male and female goats. Highest correlation (P<0.05) between live weight and body parameters were HG (r = 0.913) and BL (r=0.909) in the male chaimose, HpW (r = 0.903) and HG (r = 0.894) in the female chaimose, HL (r = 0.710) and FL (r = 0.689) in the male buckskin, HpW (r= 909) and HG (r = 0.859) in the female buckskin. Chaimose and buckskin could be selected for an improvement programme because they exhibited superiority in most traits.Keywords: strain, live weight, male, female, chaimose, buckskin

Published: February 2017

Abstract. An aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ATOFMS) was employed to provide real-time single particle mixing state and thereby source information for aerosols impacting the western Mediterranean basin during the ChArMEx-ADRIMED and SAF-MED campaigns in summer 2013. The ATOFMS measurements were made at a ground-based remote site on the northern tip of Corsica Island. 27 distinct ATOFMS particle classes were identified and subsequently grouped into 8 general categories: EC-rich (elemental carbon), K-rich, Na-rich, Amines, OC-rich (organic carbon), V-rich, Fe-rich and Ca-rich. Mass concentrations were reconstructed for the ATOFMS particle classes and found to be in good agreement with other co-located quantitative measurements (PM1, black carbon (BC), organic carbon, sulfate mass and ammonium mass). Total ATOFMS reconstructed mass (PM2.5) accounted for 70–90 % of measured PM10 mass and was comprised of regionally transported fossil fuel (EC-rich) and biomass burning (K-rich) particles. The accumulation of these transported particles was favoured by repeated and extended periods of air mass stagnation over the western Mediterranean during the sampling campaigns. The single particle mass spectra proved to be valuable source markers, allowing the identification of fossil fuel and biomass burning combustion sources, and therefore highly complementary to quantitative measurements made by particle-into-liquid sampler ion chromatography (PILS-IC) and an aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM), which have demonstrated that PM1 and PM10 were comprised predominantly of sulfate, ammonium and OC. Good temporal agreement was observed between ATOFMS EC-rich and K-rich particle mass concentrations and combined mass concentrations of BC, sulfate, ammonium and low volatility oxygenated organic aerosol (LV-OOA). This combined information suggests that combustion of fossil fuels and biomass produced primary EC- and OC-containing particles, which then accumulated ammonium, sulfate and alkylamines during regional transport. Three other sources were also identified: local biomass burning, marine and shipping. Local combustion particles (emitted in Corsica) contributed little to PM2.5 particle number and mass concentrations but were easily distinguished from regional combustion particles. Marine emissions comprised fresh and aged sea salt; the former detected mostly during one 5-day event during which it accounted for 50–80 % of sea salt aerosol mass, while the latter detected throughout the sampling period. Dust was not efficiently detected by the ATOFMS, and support measurements showed that it was mainly in the PM2.5–10 fraction. Shipping particles, identified using markers for heavy fuel oil combustion, were associated with regional emissions, and represented only a small fraction of PM2.5 particle number and mass concentration at the site.
A statistical study of the motion of pulsating aurora patches: using the THEMIS All-Sky Imager
Authors: Yang Bing , Donovan Eric , Liang Jun , Spanswick Emma
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Previous studies of the motion of patches that comprise patchy pulsating aurora (PPA) have been based on a limited number of events. In this study, we use a large database of PPA patches obtained from the THEMIS all-sky imager at Gillam (66.18° magnetic latitude, 332.78° magnetic longitude) between May 2006 and July 2013 to explore the velocity of the PPA patches. Our results show that PPA patches mainly drift eastward after midnight and westward before midnight. In addition, we found that patch velocities are in the expected range of convection given the magnetic latitude and that the velocities do not seem to depend on auroral electrojet (AE) index. The results suggest that the drifts of auroral patches could be a proxy for the ionospheric convection, and possibly provide a convenient and accurate method to remotely sense the magnetospheric convection.
Storm-wave trends in Mexican waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea
Authors: Ojeda Elena , Appendini Christian Mario , Mendoza Ernesto Tonatiuh
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Thirty-year time series of hindcast wave data were analysed for ten coastal locations along the eastern Mexican coast to obtain information about storm events occurring in the region, with the goal to examine the possible presence of interannual trends in the number of wave storm events and their main features (wave height, duration and energy content). The storms were defined according to their significant wave height and duration, and the events were classified as related to either tropical cyclones or Norte events. The occurrence and characteristics of both types of events were analysed independently. There is no statistically significant change in the number of wave storm events related to Nortes or their characteristics during the study period. However, there is a subtle increase in the number of events related to tropical cyclones in the western Caribbean region and a more evident increase in wave height and energy content of these events.

Taking into consideration Hayden White’s seminal argument about historical emplotment, and relating such notion to traditional explanations about the ritualistic structure of Tudor historiography, this article reassesses Chistopher Marlowe’s Edward II (ca. 1592) from the perspective of genre in order to expose how the play counter-effects the dominant ideology of the Tudor regime concerning royal authority. The encodation of historical events into the icon of romance, and the dramatic superimposition of tragic conventions upon such an iconic structure arguably confront two opposing modes of representing violence onstage, which determines a theatrical interplay of power discourses that arguably dramatizes the desacralization of kingship through the immanent representation of its sacredness. As this article argues, these dialectics articulates the political anxieties of Renaissance England from within generic categories, and it effectively subverts the well-established strategies of legitimization that idealized (and rewrote) violence, history and monarchy in Tudor England.
J.M. Coetzee: Construction and Representation of Historical Reality (Effect)
Authors: Mittal Nupur
Published: February 2017

South African novelist J.M. Coetzee has often been accused of refusing to engage with socio-political conflicts that mark his society. This paper will frame and analyse representation and conceptualization of history in Coetzee’s post-apartheid novels—Disgrace (2000) and Elizabeth Costello (2003). The central argument will be that, far from ignoring historical struggles and developments, Coetzee’s work engages with and encodes the same by using the grammar of novelistic discourse, which it positions as a rival to normative modern historical discourse.

Authors: De Souza Júnior José Maria
Published: February 2017

O presente artigo junta as discussões sobre ideias em política, governança global e transnacionalismo para saber o lugar das OIGs no sistema internacional. Elas são: 1) palco de contato entre Estados e para pressão de atores não estatais; 2) origem de produção de conhecimento e dados utilizados por diversos atores para o desenho de políticas, pesquisas e posicionamentos; 3) arenas de “fricção” entre Estados fortes e posições contramajoritárias de outros atores; 4) chance de representação de Estados fracos e emergentes; 5) atores decisivos no contexto de “sociedade global”.

Authors: Lima Murillo Silva de
Published: February 2017

Por meio da teoria dos complexos regionais de segurança (TCRS), propõe-se uma atualização da análise do subcomplexo regional de segurança do Golfo Pérsico. Lança-se a hipótese de que há uma mudança de polaridade no interior do subcomplexo de triangular para bipolar. Conclui-se que Irã e Arábia Saudita balanceiam um ao outro, enquanto o Iraque perdeu o status de potência regional.

The Marketplace of Devotional Song: Cultural Economies of Exchange in Bengali Padāvalī-Kīrtan
Authors: Graves Eben
Published: February 2017

In the past two decades, professional performers of a genre of Hindu devotional song known as padāvalī-kīrtan have begun to introduce a variety of promotional techniques to further their careers. Advertising, media production, and transformations of musical style are but some examples of this trend. These recent changes have spurred journalists, kīrtan scholars, and kīrtan instructors in urban Kolkata to suggest that professional kīrtan musicians are guilty of transforming the musical style of this genre in order to attract new audiences, while further subverting the genre’s association with themes of social prosperity. In this article, I study the social and musical values that surround this debate, as I argue that these negative critiques overlook the ways that money, music, and religious belief are intertwined in the lives of present-day musicians. Theories of musical commodification, neoliberal entrepreneurship, and the influence of capitalism on musical style are considered as I focus on a specific musical style of padāvalī-kīrtan that uses large meters and slow tempos in performance.
Classical Music in Television Commercials: A Social-Psychological Perspective
Authors: Kupfer Peter
Published: February 2017

This article describes a study involving 557 participants that investigated effects of respondents’ sociodemographic background on their rating of appeal and congruency of music in television commercials, with a focus on classical music. Though research indicates that there are connections between listeners’ musical preferences and their social backgrounds, and targeted advertising is premised on the notion that consumers can be divided and marketed to by sociodemographic categories, the results of the study suggest that sociodemographic background may not play a central role when it comes to the processing of music and images together in commercials, whether classical or other. In its use of SurveyMonkey’s Audience service to assemble participants, the study is exploratory in nature, suggesting a potential new resource for research on audiovisual media.
Combined vascular and neurologic injury after cephalic vein cutdown approach for ICD implantation
Authors: Xu Jack , Card Peyton Davis , Watts Evan , Escobar Guillermo A. , Tobler Gareth , Paydak Hakan
Published: February 2017

In this article we discuss two cases that highlight possible complications of cardiac device implantation. In particular, our first case involves a patient who, during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation, sustained injuries to her subclavian artery and vein and subsequently developed a self-resolving neuropraxia of the brachial plexus. In our second case, the patient, also during ICD implantation, had his left cephalic vein nicked during cutdown. Post-op he then developed a hematoma-induced left brachial plexus injury that also eventually self-resolved. A literature search has not shown other incidences of iatrogenic brachial plexus injuries from ICD implantation as described.
Analyzing Influential Factors of Lean Management
Authors: Lai Wen-Hsiang , Yang Hsien-Hui
Published: February 2017

The study explores the key factors influencing Lean management and evaluates their individual weights to identify what leads to a successful hospital management. It adopts the 4P Excellence Model in Lean management to assess and measure the healthcare organizations from the five perspectives: leadership, people, partnership, processes, and products. To explore the potential factors, the study employs the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and multi-expert judgment to prioritize the significance of each factor. The study has led to a number of useful insights. Processes are crucial when hospitals advocate lean management. Among the 18 sub-factors in the five criteria, the most significant factors include patient-centered care, clearly defined work content, rewarding teamwork effort, continual learning and upgrading, and increasing the clinic quality. To satisfactorily carry out Lean management, a hospital should continuously strive for improvement, pursue perfection, engender organizational culture, strengthen teamwork, and create mutual trust among team members. Moreover, patient-centered care beliefs should be actively implemented. To provide seamless care, patients and their families should be the main foci. The results could be used by hospital managers to improve their skills and knowledge when implementing Lean management. In addition, the framework developed herein could potentially lend itself to many practical applications.

Création néologique en Asie du Sud-Est au contact de l’Occident aux XIXe et XXe siècles
Authors: Jeanmaire Guillaume
Published: February 2017

Cet article se propose, à travers une étude diachronique réalisée à partir de dictionnaires et d’une base importante de textes anciens japonais et coréens, de montrer comment les concepts issus de la civilisation occidentale et importés ont été nommés en Asie du Sud-Est. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche portant sur la néologie en Corée, au Japon et en Chine. La terminologie au centre de notre étude est indissociable du contexte sociopolitique. La néologie se fait d’abord à l’initiative de missionnaires au XVIIe siècle, puis au XIXe siècle, conduisant à la création de termes religieux, mais aussi scientifiques. Cependant, par un souci de modernisation, c’est le Japon qui contribue le plus à la néologie scientifique, d’abord au contact des Hollandais, et plus encore au moment de l’Ouverture à l’Occident à la fin du XIXe siècle. Par-delà le Japon, les autres pays suivent une évolution parallèle dans la création de néologismes en recourant à des procédés similaires de création lexicale, certes en moindre proportion. Néanmoins, les Chinois, les Coréens et les Vietnamiens empruntent massivement les néologismes créés par les Japonais, par la (re)traduction vers leurs langues respectives d’ouvrages occidentaux traduits en japonais. L’abandon des mots chinois pour les néologismes japonais non seulement par les Coréens, mais aussi par les Chinois eux-mêmes, ainsi que la prédilection des Japonais pour les emprunts phonétiques s’explique par la défaite de la Chine dans la guerre sino-japonaise (1895), mais aussi par le caractère novateur et attrayant des néologismes japonais. Enfin, c’est par souci d’identité linguistique que les Chinois, et surtout les Vietnamiens, créeront leurs propres néologismes après 1919.
