Estudios científicos sobre la expresión escrita en el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas (2005-2017)
Authors: Selfa Sastre Moisés , Gómez-Devís M-Begoña
Published: July 2019

This paper reviews critically the thematic lines that from 2005 to 2017 have been published on Second Language Writing (SLW) in order to present an analysis of the predominant tendencies in the publications indexed in SCOPUS. As a study methodology, we have proceeded to the selection of those studies that have received 60 or more citations. From the bibliographic review carried out, we concluded that there are three main lines of research: the process of composing the written text; the feedback that the teacher offers to the student; and writing online of a L2. The conclusions point to the need to deepen in the research of the writing of texts in a different language than English as L2 and the practices of collaborative writing.
La puerta de Anuwampar. Literatura oral, paisaje y ritualidad en el Altiplano aymara.
Authors: Fernández Juárez Gerardo
Published: July 2019

El cerro Orqorani que tutela la vida ceremonial de los comuneros aymaras de la comunidad de Qorpa , en el Altiplano de Bolivia , ofrece entre sus recovecos geomorfológicos unas estructuras pétreas caprichosas cargadas de relatos , tradiciones y alusiones a la memoria local que aparece inscrita en el mapa cognitivo de sus estructuras. El artículo trata de una de estas representaciones, pétreas que a manera de ideograma introduce el relato de Anuwampar y constituye el testimonio simbólico de la Puerta del Templo donde se encuentra encerrado en el interior del cerro. Anuwampar , “mano de perro” esconde en su propia denominación , la certeza del deshonor, una falta de correspondencia en el tratamiento ritual con los cerros achachilas, dueños de la fertilidad interna y externa del cerro a quienes pertenece.
Women Watering Basil Plants: New Insights into a Spanish Moroccan Folktale
Authors: Duque Adriano
Published: July 2019

This paper examines the Spanish song «Princesita que riega la albahaca» and compares it with other Moroccan versions of the folk tale. Although loosely based on the encounter between King Solomon and Queen Sheba, the story incorporates a series of elements from different folk traditions, while insisting on the motif of the husband-seeking maiden. Drawing on the motifs of the garden or the mother, the essay examines how the protagonist of the story uses the metaphor of the Basil plant to articulate relations of exogamy and to question social assumptions regarding the role of women and their social constraints.

 

El presente artículo examina la canción en español "Princesita que riega la albahaca" y la contrasta con otras versiones marroquíes del cuento. Aun basándose relativamente en el encuentro entre el rey Salomón y la reina de Saba, la historia incorpora una serie de elementos de diferentes tradiciones populares al tiempo que insiste en el motivo de la doncella que busca marido.A partir de los motivos del jardín o de la madre, el ensayo examina cómo el protagonista de la historia utiliza la metáfora de la planta de albahaca para articular relaciones de exogamia y para cuestionar los presupuestos sobre el papel de las mujeres y sus limitaciones en sociedad.
El camaleón que se sustenta del aire: evolución paremiológica e incidencia en la literatura española
Authors: Malpartida Tirado Rafael
Published: July 2019

El hablante actual asocia al camaleón inmediatamente con el cambio de color, pero le causa desconcierto la noción de que el animal se alimente del aire cuando aflora en un texto literario. No reconoce como suya, en consecuencia, la paremia Sustentarse del aire como el camaleón, que ha perdurado durante varias centurias en las colecciones paremiológicas y se ha empleado con frecuencia por su valor estilístico y su eficacia como símil en la literatura. A explicar esa persistencia en la idea (incluso una vez sabido el error) y su evolución como paremia, mostrando los vasos comunicantes de la tradición culta y de la popular, se encomienda este artículo, que en última instancia aboga por la recuperación y estudio de lo que podríamos considerar una «preverdad» porque ejemplifica lo que Nuccio Ordine llamó, en su defensa de las Humanidades, «la utilidad de lo inútil».
The value of clinical staging of thyroid cancer using ultrasonography and CT scan and its correlation with intraoperative and histopathological findings
Authors: Chandra Mahesh , Kundu Reetu , Kochhar Suman
Published: July 2019

Background: Thyroid cancer has incidence of 4 patients per 100,000 populations per year and majority are present between 25-65 years age. Over the years, various imaging have been utilised to detect thyroid cancer but its TNM-staging remains pathological only made on the resected specimen. The aims and objectives of the study was to differentiate thyroid cancer from others lesions, clinically stage them on ultrasonography and CT scan and correlate with histological findings.Methods: This prospective study was done from March 2012 to April 2015. A total of forty patients of FNAC proven or highly suspicious of thyroid cancer underwent ultrasonography (USG) and CT scan TNM staging before planned surgery. The histopathogical findings of resected specimen were correlated with clinical TNM staging of thyroid cancer. The significance of difference between USG and CT scan was calculated using Chi-square test. The difference in the sensitivity as well in specificity was statistically highly significant (p<0.001) and significant (p<0.005), respectively.Results: The largest number of thyroid cancer patient was between 31-40 years with male: female ratio of 1: 4 and 60% presented as asymptomatic lump in the neck. Out of two imaging, the CT scan had more sensitivity and specificity in thyroid cancer staging compared to ultrasonography which had 87.5% sensitivity and 95.8% specificity, respectively.Conclusions: Overall, the CT scan has more sensitivity and specificity in the assessment of thyroid lesions, thus it may be recommended as imaging method of choice in the clinical staging of thyroid cancer either alone in combination of ultrasonography.

Construction of a labial flange in conventional manner might compromise the facial support and muscles of facial expression, limit function, and compromise aesthetics for a better prognosis, an unconventional approach is needed for the construction of complete denture. This case report describes an innovative, economical, nonsurgical treatment option for fabrication of complete denture in a patient with a prominent labial undercut to enhance the facial aesthetics of the patient.
Preliminary characterization of the dominant baroclinic modes of a tropical Andean reservoir during a dry period
Authors: Posada-Bedoya Andrés , Gómez-Giraldo Andrés , Román Botero Ricardo
Published: July 2019

A partir de datos de campo y un modelo numérico simple, se investigaron las ondas internas   escala de cuenco en un embalse tropical andino durante un período seco. La estructura y el período de las oscilaciones baroclínicas observadas, se infirieron a partir del análisis espectral de las series de temperatura medidas y de los desplazamientos verticales de las isotermas asociadas. El modo de oscilación dominante identificado a partir de los datos de campo constaba de dos capas que oscilaban con velocidades verticales y fases contrarias (modo V2), y con un período de 24 h. Los modos baroclínicos verticales teóricos del embalse se estimaron a partir de un eigenmodelo simple, el cual predijo el período y la estructura vertical del modo dominante identificado a partir de las observaciones, indicando también que las oscilaciones de la velocidad horizontal en cada capa estaban en fase (modo V2H1) y con un período natural cercano a 24 h. El forzamiento del viento mostró una variabilidad periódica con un período dominante cercano a las 24 h, por lo que concluimos que el modo V2H1 fue el dominante durante el período analizado y sometido a excitación por resonancia con el forzamiento diurno del viento. Se modeló el embalse como un sistema lineal masa-resorte, amortiguado y forzado, con el fin de estimar la relación de amortiguamiento de las oscilaciones baroclínicas, y se obtuvieron oscilaciones subamortiguadas con una tasa de amortiguamiento similar a la reportada en otros lagos alrededor del mundo. También se investigó el potencial del modo V2H1 en la generación vertical de turbulencia debido a inestabilidades cortantes usando el número de Richardson del gradiente, y encontramos que la producción de turbulencia era baja. Por último, se discuten aquí la estructura vertical de la fase en las oscilaciones de las ondas internas y las potenciales implicaciones del campo de ondas internas en la ecología del embalse. © 2019.

Odonatos de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia: una lista preliminar
Authors: Tobias-Loaiza Melizza , Tamaris-Turizo Cesar E.
Published: July 2019

Se presenta una lista de especies y géneros de odonatos de ocho ríos de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) producto de la revisión de artículos científicos, trabajos de grado y especímenes depositados en el centro de Colecciones Biológicas de la Universidad del Magdalena (CEBUMAG). Se registran 38 especies distribuidos en 35 géneros en ocho familias. La familia Libellulidae presentó la mayor riqueza (14 géneros) y los rangos más amplios de distribución altitudinal (entre 50 y 2800 msnm), encontrándose en todas las coberturas vegetales. El río Gaira exhibió la mayor riqueza entre los ríos revisados, 26 géneros, de los cuales ocho son exclusivos de la cuenca, en tanto que en el río Ranchería solo se registró Progomphus. La distribución espacial más amplia fue la de los géneros Argia y Brechmorhoga, registrados en seis ríos. La revisión evidenció la falta de estudios en las vertientes oriental y suroccidental de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, por lo que se recomienda realizar trabajos taxonómicos y de biodiversidad para contribuir al conocimiento de odonatos en el Caribe colombiano. © 2019.

Caracterización del agente causante de la deformación de los frutos de la uva (Vitis vinifera L.) var. Red Globe en La Unión, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Authors: López-Zapata Silvia Patricia , Castaño-Zapata Jairo , Arango-Isaza Rafael , Vásquez-Barajas Dayana Andrea
Published: July 2019

En años recientes una enfermedad caracterizada por la necrosis y el hundimiento de la epidermis de las bayas de la vid (Vitis viinifera L.) se ha venido presentando en la variedad Red Globe, cultivada en predios vitícolas del municipio de La Unión, Valle del Cauca, lo que ha resultado en pérdidas de rendimiento y calidad. Para determinar la etiología de la enfermedad, se recolectaron y procesaron frutos que mostraban los signos típicos de decoloración y posterior necrosis. Con mayor prevalencia se encontró un hongo, que fue sometido a pruebas de patogenicidad y caracterización morfológica mediante microscopía de luz y electrónica (Environmental scanning electron microscopy, ESEM), complementadas con pruebas moleculares. Los postulados de Koch se cumplieron mediante la inoculación de una suspensión conidial de 1x106 conidios por mL-1 de agua en bayas sanas de la misma variedad. Al cabo una semana se empezaron a observar signos similares a los observados en campo. Las búsquedas de similitud con la herramienta BLAST mostraron una identidad del 100 % entre las secuencias del espaciador transcribible interno (internal transcribed spacer, ITS) y Colletotrichum aenigma y C. siamense, pertenecientes al complejo de especies Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, lo que proporciona información útil para entender la enfermedad de las bayas de la vid y poder diseñar estrategias de manejo. © 2019.

Un manuscrito de finales del siglo XVII: primera manifestación de un estudio astronómico y cronológico autóctono en territorio neogranadino
Authors: Portilla J. Gregorio , Moreno Freddy
Published: July 2019

La existencia de un manuscrito que versa sobre astronomía y cronología redactado a finales del siglo XVII por Antonio Sánchez de Cozar, un humilde sacerdote de ascendencia indígena, ha pasado desapercibida para los historiadores de la ciencia en el país, aun cuando ya a mediados del siglo XIX había sido dado a conocer como pieza literaria. En este trabajo se presenta una síntesis del contenido de ese manuscrito, así como un análisis de algunos aspectos relevantes que muestran un pensamiento original e independiente del autor, tales como su propuesta dinámica del movimiento de los cielos, la introducción de un cielo entre Mercurio y la Luna y la propuesta de reforma al calendario gregoriano. El manuscrito también contiene las primeras efemérides astronómicas realizadas en territorio neogranadino, consistentes en fases lunares y eclipses cuyos tiempos de ocurrencia están referidos a la hora local de una población del Nuevo Mundo: el municipio de Vélez. ©2019.

Los lantánidos: ni tierras ni raras
Authors: Echeverri L Fernando , Parra B. John Jairo
Published: July 2019

La tabla periódica de los elementos contiene la base fundamental del conocimiento pasado, presente y futuro de la Química. Sin embargo, aún se proponen modelos adicionales y complementarios para tratar de satisfacer todas y cada una de las propiedades físicas y químicas, en especial de aquellos elementos que actualmente no se ajustan a ella. Algunas de esas desviaciones seguramente tendrán explicaciones por aproximaciones cuánticas, obviamente desconocidas en el tiempo de la propuesta original. Específicamente, existen dos situaciones relevantes clásicas, relacionadas con las tierras raras y los actínidos, que involucran unos 30 elementos. Estos se muestran como anexos por fuera del orden previsto y, por sus características de grupos, se organizan como períodos. A pesar de los debates en torno a la reubicación de dichos elementos, que realmente no es un mero ejercicio académico, las tierras raras son valiosos materiales con múltiples aplicaciones en la vida diaria y, además, tienen un papel fundamental en el equilibrio económico y político mundial. En este artículo se presentan varios aspectos relacionados con su posición en la tabla periódica, así como las propiedades estructurales y electrónicas de sus favorables y anómalos comportamientos, sus aplicaciones y el contexto internacional por la hegemonía mundial basada en el uso de sus elementos. © 2019.

Authors: Villacres Poveda Clara Elena , Tanquina Páramo Irma Maribel , Yánez Guzmán Carlos Fernando , Quelal Tapia María Belén , Alvarez Murillo Marco Javier , Ramos Moya Milton Rubén
Published: July 2019

El maíz (Zea mays L.) constituye junto con el trigo y el arroz uno de los cereales importantes del mundo, suministra elementos nutritivos tanto a los seres humanos como a los animales y es materia prima básica para la industria alimenticia. Las variedades de color morado o negro además de presentar nutrientes contienen antioxidantes naturales que ayudan a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardiacas, respiratorias y a prevenir enfermedades degenerativas como el cáncer. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el efecto del procesamiento en el contenido de compuestos y la actividad antioxidante del grano y raquis de las variedades de maíz: INIAP-199 y Sangre de Cristo. En estado crudo, el grano de INIAP-199 presentó el mayor contenido de fenoles (276.24 mg.100 g-1) y antocianinas totales (241.97 mg.100 g-1), zinc (3.72 mg.100 g-1) y carotenoides (281.42 ug.100 g-1). Igualmente, en el raquis de esta variedad se registró un mayor contenido de flavonoides (210.73 mg.100 g-1), taninos (100.54 mg.100 g-1) y ácido ascórbico (503.87 mg.100 g-1). El extracto del raquis de INIAP-199 presentó un mayor poder antioxidante reductor férrico (1.92 mg.ml-1), este valor superó al extracto del grano (2.90 mg.ml-1). En los extractos del raquis y grano de la variedad Sangre de Cristo se registró una menor capacidad para reducir el ión férrico (6.59 y 6.92 mg.ml-1), lo cual podría guardar relación con la menor concentración de compuestos fenólicos en sus extractos. En general, el proceso de remojo afectó en menor grado a la concentración de compuestos con capacidad antioxidante del grano, el efecto contrario se determinó con el perlado, lo que hace suponer que los componentes con las mencionadas propiedades se concentran en el pericarpio del grano.
Producción de semilla de maíz en el Ecuador: retos y oportunidades
Authors: Caviedes Cepeda Galo Mario
Published: July 2019

El maíz (Zea mays L) es uno de los cultivos más importantes para la alimentación de los ecuatorianos ya que su producción provee la materia prima para la agroindustria y la alimentación humana. De acuerdo con las estadísticas de la FAO, en el año 2016 la superficie sembrada fue de 485696 hectáreas con una producción de 1`667704 toneladas y un rendimiento de 3.17 toneladas por hectárea. En la actualidad, la producción nacional está orientada principalmente a los tipos duro y suave de color amarillo; el rendimiento promedio del maíz amarillo duro en los años 2015 y 2016, considerando dos ciclos de siembra fue de 5.76 t ha-1; estas mejoras en la productividad podrían atribuirse principalmente a dos factores: utilización de semilla de híbridos de alto potencial de rendimiento y una política de precios mínimos de sustentación para el productor, que permitieron incrementar significativamente los ingresos de pequeños y medianos productores de maíz. Un sistema de producción de este cereal requiere obtener el máximo beneficio de cada insumo que inicia con la semilla, ya que, una población adecuada garantiza la obtención de óptimos rendimientos. Las nuevas leyes de semillas y su reglamento promulgadas en el 2017, permitirán diseñar programas de certificación para la promoción, acondicionamiento, almacenamiento y distribución de semilla de calidad para la producción agrícola del Ecuador y contribuirán a la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria del país. Por otra parte, al sector maicero ecuatoriano se le presentan nuevas oportunidades para su desarrollo debido a la ley y reglamento de agrobiodiversidad, semillas y fomento de la agricultura sustentable que garantiza y promueve la producción y productividad; disponibilidad de tecnología en híbridos de alto potencial de rendimiento; aumento de la oferta y demanda de semilla de calidad; creación de un fondo que promueve la investigación en semillas; la apertura a la investigación con organismos genéticamente modificados; y, la apertura comercial a la Unión Europea y a los Estados Unidos.

Authors: Tacuri Ortega Christian Favián , Calderón Peralvo Felipe Sebastián , Sellers Walden Chester Andrew
Published: July 2019

Debido al progresivo crecimiento del parque automotor en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador, se evidencian grandes congestiones por la sobresaturación de tráfico en su centro histórico, el cual colapsa en horas pico, trayendo como consecuencia elevados niveles de ruido en la zona. Por esta razón, el presente artículo tiene como objeto modelar el ruido generado por tráfico vehicular en la calle Mariscal Lamar, utilizando el modelo de predicción de ruido NMPB-Routes-96 y las distintas configuraciones que permite el software especializado en ruido "Datakustik CadnaA", considerando las características locales y su parque automotor. Para así determinar el método que más se ajuste a la realidad de la zona de estudio, mediante comparación con niveles de ruido levantados in situ. Además, una vez determinado el método que más se ajusta a los valores del sonómetro, se logró establecer una línea base sobre los Niveles de Presión Sonora equivalente (NPSeq) de una sección del área de influencia directa del "Tranvía 4 Ríos de Cuenca"; obteniendo de esta manera un mapa de ruido previo a la implementación de dicho tranvía, lo cual servirá como referencia para determinar la variación en los niveles de ruido una vez que se encuentre operativo dicho medio de transporte masivo.

Authors: Steinberg Amir , Cleave Janet H. Van , Parikh Anish B. , Moshier Erin , Ru Meng , Marks Douglas , Montelibano Antoinette , Philpott Amanda , Garner Kourtney , Hammer Marilyn J.
Published: July 2019

Background: Abnormal blood glucose (BG) levels during hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are associated with increased infections, delayed engraftment, and prolonged hospitalization, though little is known about these associations.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated mean BG levels in the week prior to HCT and subsequent outcomes for 852 HCTs at our hospital from 1/2009 – 12/2013 pertaining to 745 patients. Outcomes included infections (pneumonia, C. difficile, positive cultures, administration of antimicrobials, or neutropenic fever), time-to-engraftment (TTE), and quality indicators (30- and 90-day readmission rates [RR] and median length-of-stay [LOS]).
Results: We retrospectively evaluated mean BG levels in the week prior to HCT and subsequent outcomes for 852 HCTs at our hospital from 1/2009 – 12/2013 pertaining to 745 patients. Outcomes included infections (pneumonia, C. difficile, positive cultures, administration of antimicrobials, or neutropenic fever), time-to-engraftment (TTE), and quality indicators (30- and 90-day readmission rates [RR] and median length-of-stay [LOS]).
Conclusion: Pre-HCT BG trends may be a prognostic biomarker for adverse outcomes, and thus can help improve quality of care for HCT patients.
Dickkopf-1 and Amphiregulin as Novel Biomarkers and Potential Therapeutic Targets in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: Awad Abeer E. , Ebrahim Mohamed A. , Eissa Laila A. , El-Shishtawy Mamdouh M.
Published: July 2019

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly fatal tumor which represents a major health problem worldwide. Due to asymptomatic nature of HCC, most patients present with the progressive stage of disease, so, unfortunately, there are no effective therapies. Existing techniques for HCC surveillance and diagnosis lack the required accuracy. Therefore, searching for new diagnostic and/or therapeutic tools could improve patient survival. This study aimed to estimate the diagnostic role of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) and amphiregulin (AREG) and to find out their correlation with different clinicopathological parameters in HCC patients.
Materials and Methods: Serum levels of DKK1 and AREG in 55 HCC patients, 20 cirrhotic patients, and 15 healthy subjects as control group were measured using the ELISA technique.
Results: Both of DKK1 and AREG showed a significant increase in the HCC group compared to cirrhotic and healthy groups. DKK1 at a cutoff point of 8.92 ng/ml showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.826 with 87.3% sensitivity and 82.9% specificity. DKK1 showed a significant correlation with tumor size, liver dysfunction, and poor performance status in HCC patients. AREG at a cutoff point of 8.74 pg/ml showed a sensitivity of 74.5% but low specificity (47.1%). AREG showed a significant correlation with portal vein thrombosis and tumor metastasis in HCC patients.
Conclusion: Serum DKK1 could be a diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Both of DKK1 and AREG may play significant roles in tumor progression and may offer promising therapeutic targets in HCC patients.
Evaluation of high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMWCK), p27, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR-4) and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) expressions related to tumor progression in breast cancer
Authors: ÖZGÜN Gonca , AKYOL Gülen
Published: July 2019

Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the most common reason for cancer death in women population. The immunohistochemical markers which could have prognostic information are always needed. Methods: This study included 365 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and ductal epithelial hyperplasia. The cases divided into the following two groups according to the presence of cancer: 1) cancer group (298 cases; cases with IDC and DCIS), 2) non-cancer group (67 cases without cancer; cases with usual ductal epithelial hyperplasia [UDH] and atypical ductal epithelial hyperplasia [ADH]). All histological slides stained with high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMWCK), p27, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR-4), stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) immunohistochemically. Results: IDC was present in 277 cases, of which 213 had pure IDC, and 64 had DCIS component adjacent to the invasive tumor. Twenty-one cases had only DCIS. Of 67 cases with epithelial hyperplasia, 31 had ADH, and 36 had UDH. Among cases with IDC, 143 had lymph node excision, of which 73 had metastasis in one or more lymph nodes, and 70 did not have metastatic disease. The expression of p27 was found to be significantly lower in the cancer group as compared to that in the non-cancer group (p < 0.0001). CXCR-4 expression in IDC was found to be higher than that of DCIS group. SDF-1 expression was observed to be significantly higher in cancer cases than that of non-cancer cases (p = 0.03). Conclusions: The higher CXCR-4 and SDF-1 expressions are associated with tumor progression, tumor size, and lymph node status. In benign proliferative lesions, both HMWK and p27 expressions were helpful in differential diagnosis of borderline atypical ductal hyperplasia and DCIS.
Effectively Serving The Needs Of Todays Business Student: The Product Life Cycle Approach To Class Organization
Authors: Eastman Jacqueline K. , Aviles Maria , Hanna Mark
Published: July 2019

We illustrate a class organization process utilizing the concept of the Product Life Cycle to meet the needs of todays millennial student. In the Introduction stage of a business course, professors need to build structure to encourage commitment. In the Growth stage, professors need to promote the structure through multiple, brief activities that can keep the attention of business students. In the Mature stage, professors need to use the structure to stabilize engagement levels and learning rates but be willing to make adjustments to prevent apathy in the course. Finally, in the Decline stage, professors need to dismantle the structure while allowing opportunities for utilizing materials for future business courses and addressing todays millennial students need for achievement and sense of entitlement with the course grades. The value is that this paper illustrates an approach to aid professors in organizing business courses that can be utilized in a variety of courses to better serve millennial students.
Discrimination against Women in Accessing Higher Education in Cambodia
Authors: Tuy Sophorn
Published: July 2019

Young women in Cambodia face challenges in accessing higher education. Social norms, financial constraints and other problems are the main root causes in the limitation of opportunities for women to pursue higher education. Social norms of the older generation in Cambodia remain from the past and they often think that it is not necessary for women to study in higher education institutions since a women’s role is to just be a housewife after marriage. Another restriction on women’s access to higher education is that they often have financial problems in supporting their education. Some women have to work in order to support their families, so they have no chance to pursue a higher education. Additionally, since most universities are located in cities, parents often feel insecure about their daughters studying far away from home. Currently there is increased enrollment of young women in higher education due to Government action, as it has ratified international conventions and enacted domestic laws. As well, there is government cooperation with NGOs to establish some strategies and action plans to promote and protect gender equality in all sectors, including the education sector, by improving scholarship opportunities or building dormitories for female students to live in while studying at university. However, these supports cannot provide access to higher education for young women in all areas in the Kingdom of Cambodia, and Cambodia has not yet enacted specific laws to promote the participation of women in higher education. This research aims to explore the opportunities that have been provided to young women to pursue higher education, particularly at the university level. After exploring the opportunities, the researcher will analyze data regarding the challenges for women in accessing higher education. Finally, the researcher will provide some possible recommendations to address these challenges. This research utilized multiple methods, including desk review and structured interviews. Interviews were conducted face-to-face and in focus group discussions (FGD). Desk review focuses on all relevant international and national laws, strategic and action plans related to the promotion of women studying at university and the de facto equality of that issue.
Administration of the Tambov Seminary in 1867–1884
Authors: Vasnev Theodosius
Published: July 2019

A special role in the public life of the Tambov province was occupied by the seminary. Particular importance in its development was attached to the administrative structure, a prototype of which is the current organization of higher educational institutions. The election of the rector was held on an alternative basis. The collegial body of management was the pedagogical assembly from 1867–1884. A new phenomenon for this period the seminary functioning was the general as-sembly, which included pedagogical (membership of 6 years) and regulatory (membership of
3 years). The pedagogical assembly was held once a month. Regulatory – once a week. The deci-sion was made by a majority of votes. This experience of introducing an elective element in the Tambov Seminary has had a useful influence on its activities. Unfortunately, not everywhere this practice led to positive results, which later seemed to be the reason for the abolition of this norm during the reforms of 1884, when it was decided that the Holy Synod nominate candidates for such important posts as rector and seminary inspector. It should be noted that similar reforms or “counter-reforms” carried out in the reign of Emperor Alexander III affected all educational institutions of the Russian Empire, including universities, where they toughened some norms of the university statute and, in particular, abolished the current provision according to which rector was elected for his post on an alternative basis.
On conceptualization of 1917–1918 Russian city riots: modest proposals
Authors: Dyachkov Vladimir
Published: July 2019

We try to support an idea that urban riots as an important side of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and Civil War had grown up and worked as a part of general social-natural synergism to control traditional and transitive societies including armed social aggression as an effective exogenous tool to suppress overpopulated populations. The source base and the methods’ set made it possible to trace hundreds of human millions in their social group-strata combinations in long unbreakable lines of sociography supporting true scholar approach and valid, highly objective conclusions. Anthroponymic (naming) indices, female, officers’ and outstanding people shares, indices of migration, age-sex balance, rear garrisons and finally of riots act as markers of social aggression of 134 urban populations having had made their way through the Russian “war-revolutionary phase”. The main investigation results are displayed in eloquent graphs.
The category of time in modern science: analysis and interpretation
Authors: Tumanova Ainakul B. , Pavlova Tatyana V. , Zueva Natalya Y.
Published: July 2019

We focus on the description of the time category and its interpretation in modern science. We present an overview of lexicographical sources and scientific papers on the definition of category and its analysis. Our purpose is to establish the specifics of artistic time as a text category based on the analysis of the time category and its typology. We give the basic definitions of time represented in different sciences: physics, philosophy, natural science and linguistics. We deter-mine that time and space categories are interrelated and text-forming. We pay special attention to the description of artistic time. The research is based on the works of D.S. Likhachev, Z.Y. Turaeva, I.Y. Chernukhina and others. We provide the main indicators of time category in the ar-tistic text: system of verb forms, lexical units with the meaning of time, syntactic constructions. To illustrate the results of observations, we present an interpretation of the artistic time based on materials of poetic texts of Kazakh writers and poets (T. Aybergenov, I. Isemberlin, A. Alimzhanov). We use the following techniques and methods: descriptive, comparative, observation, method of continuous sampling, linguistic and stylistic; conclusions are drawn.
Paroemias “wolf’s sun” and “sun of wolves”
Authors: Du Chunyang
Published: July 2019

We consider the combinations of the periphrastic nature of “wolf’s sun”, “wolf’s sunshine”, “sun of wolves”, “sun of wolf”, which are used to name the night time image in the titles of the television shows and poetic texts. We establish that periphrases for naming the moon are used in order to interest readers, listeners, viewers; to avoid tautology; to inform (clarify or notify additional knowledge about the time of day), to characterize the moon and focus on certain signs of the time of day, to reflect objectively the author’s emotional and subjective assessment of the text. We reveal that the analyzed artionymic units occur as a result of the creative individual process of artionymization - the transition of common nouns into the category of proper noun - artionym. The names of the moon by means of paroemias “wolf’s sun”, “wolf’s sunshine”, “sun of wolves”, “sun of wolf” reflect both positive and negative connotation. If the “wolf’s sun” symbolizes lovers time, the night luminary characterizes by positive semantics, as evidenced by the diminutive form “sunshine” in the paroemia “wolf’s sunshine”. If there is a night-time theft or the girls do “night affairs”, the image of the moon takes on a negative characteristic. We note that in the Chinese linguistic study, periphrasis is not considered as a separate lexical and stylistic category, which makes it very difficult to translate Russian paroemias into Chinese.
Ways of expressing irony and its types in modern Russian-language poetry of Kazakhstan (on the example of D. Nakipov’s works)
Authors: Baktybayeva Annel T.
Published: July 2019

We present the modern views of literature studies scholars, linguists and culturologists on the concept of irony in a poetic work. We analyze different ways of expressing irony on the example of contemporary Russian-language poetry by D. Nakipov. We center on material of the research literature on the analysis of the text poetics and lyrical poems of the Russian-speaking poet of Kazakhstan. Research methods: we use the method of continuous sampling to establish elements of irony in poetic texts; component and semantic analysis is used to determine the ironic meaning at various levels of literary text: lexical, grammatical, syntactic. Conclusion: in the works of D. Nakipov irony conveys the inner attitude of the narrator to what is happening, his mood and feelings through pun, antiphrasis, changes in phraseology, the use of neologisms, etc. Different ways of expressing irony create an ironic worldview. The ironic appeal, promise, readdressing, common-language and individually-author’s words and expressions with an ironic tone serves several functions (emotive, expressive, characterological) and passes several meanings (state, attitude, influence, characterization).
Statistical Structure and Deviations from Equilibrium in Wavy Channel Turbulence
Authors: Khan Saadbin , Jayaraman Balaji
Published: July 2019

The structure of turbulent flow over non-flat surfaces is a topic of major interest in practical applications in both engineering and geophysical settings. A lot of work has been done in the fully rough regime at high Reynolds numbers where the effect on the outer layer turbulence structure and the resulting friction drag is well documented. It turns out that surface topology plays a significant role on the flow drag especially in the transitional roughness regime and therefore, hard to characterize. Survey of literature shows that roughness function depends on the interaction of roughness height, flow Reynolds number and topology shape. In addition, if the surface topology contains large enough scales then it can impact the outer layer dynamics and in turn modulate the total frictional force. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms underlying drag increase from systematically varied surface undulations in order to better interpret quantifications based on mean statistics such as roughness function. In this study, we explore the mechanisms that modulate the turbulence structure over a two-dimensional (2D) sinusoidal wavy surface with a fixed amplitude, but varying slope. To accomplish this, we model the turbulent flow between two infinitely wide 2D wavy plates at a friction Reynolds number, $Re_{\tau}=180$. We pursue two different but related flavors of analysis. The first one adopts a roughness characterization flavor of such wavy surfaces. The second one focuses on understanding the non-equilibrium near surface turbulence structure and their impact on roughness characterization. Analysis of the different statistical quantifications show strong dependence on wave slope for the roughness function indicating drag increase due to enhanced turbulent stresses resulting from increased production of vertical velocity variance from the surface undulations.

Boyolali is one city in Indonesia with a massive growth in infrastucture development, especially in terms of public and communities space development that became urban planning goals of Boyolali city in the last five years. There are many development programs that have been planned by the goverment, one of them is the plan for building Botanical Garden as a conservation area and public space in 2016. This program is the reason why Boyolali Botanical Garden is choosen as the object design. The design of the Botanical Garden is more focused on the educational recreation purpose that implement fun learning experiences as a learning method. This method has proven to make learning new things, in this case is botany , fun and easier to understand. The architectural approach used to solve the design problems of this Botanical Garden is Fun Design approach, so the design of Botanical Garden tries to direct architectural elements toward a design that gives a pleasant and fun environment to the users because fun environment is the most conductive learning climate for non-formal education. The architectural elements that can help to form a fun environment in Fun Design approach is : Forms, Mass Arragement, Colors, Materials, Aperture and Lighting. These elements can help to create a fun learning environment by emphasizing the design decision on the impression that can be conveyed by each elements. The impression that need to be conveyed by the design to make fun learning environment among others is cheerfullness, energetic, happy, flexible, freedoom, and refreshing. One of the example is the application of bright color (such as yellow, red, blue, ect) to convey cheerfulness and energetic impression on the design.

Agropolitanconsept is developed as critics of industrial development failure in several Asian development countries which caused by high urbanization, unequal incomeand depletion of resources (Friedmann and Douglass, 1975). This consept also emphasize in agroindustrial development as part of successful agropolitan. Slemanagropolitan district has developed competitive commodites such as salak which can be process to high value products. AfterSlemanAgropolitan District established, the agroindustrial development still has not give the contribution for it. Many industries have limited quantity and there is no connection among other industries, so the industries just walked by itself. Many of them do not observe the important thing on their development, like location. Location has an important role for sustaining agroindustrial development.

Based on this issues, the research goal is the achievement value of supporting location factors to salakagroindustrial development in SlemanAgropolitan District. The method is scoring analysis in every location factors variable in agroindustrial development to find the value achivement of supporting location factors.

The result of this research, location factors have strongly support for salakagroindustrial development in SlemanAgropolitan District. Raw identified through origin, distance and how to gather the raw has value 96,4% which means strongly support. Labour identified through quantity, origin and distance has value 66,9% which means support. Market identified through origin, distance and how to distribute has value 90,6% which means strongly support. Transportation/accesibility identified through road, transportation cost and time has value 84,2% which means strongly support. Land identified through topography and disasten vulnerability has value 97,5% which means strongly support for agroindustrial development.
