A Grounded Theory of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs Partnerships for Diversity and Inclusion Aims
Authors: LePeau Lucy
Published: September 2015

This study explored how 18 participants at four institutions formed Academic Affairs and Student Affairs partnerships for diversity initiatives. These participants were also involved in a national Project launched by the Association of American Colleges and Universities in the 1990s. Using grounded theory methods, a conceptual model emerged, the Cycle of Making Lifelong Commitments to Diversity and Inclusion, that identifies and explains three distinct types of partnerships: complementary, coordinated, and pervasive. The findings offer implications for researchers and practitioners regarding partnerships to achieve diversity and inclusion goals.
The Media of Relativity: Einstein and Telecommunications Technologies
Authors: Canales Jimena
Published: September 2015

How are fundamental constants, such as “c” for the speed of light, related to the technological environments that produce them? Relativistic cosmology, developed first by Albert Einstein, depended on military and commercial innovations in telecommunications. Prominent physicists (Hans Reichenbach, Max Born, Paul Langevin, Louis de Broglie, and Léon Brillouin, among others) worked in radio units during WWI and incorporated battlefield lessons into their research. Relativity physicists, working at the intersection of physics and optics by investigating light and electricity, responded to new challenges by developing a novel scientific framework. Ideas about lengths and solid bodies were overhauled because the old Newtonian mechanics assumed the possibility of “instantaneous signaling at a distance.” Einstein’s universe, where time and space dilated, where the shortest path between two points was often curved and non-Euclidean, followed the rules of electromagnetic “signal” transmission. For these scientists, light’s constant speed in the absence of a gravitational field—a fundamental tenet of Einstein’s theory—was a lesson derived from communication technologies.
Mechanizing the Merc: The Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Rise of High-Frequency Trading
Authors: MacKenzie Donald
Published: September 2015

This article investigates one important strand in the evolution of today’s high-frequency trading or HFT (the fast, automated trading of large numbers of financial securities). That strand is the history of the automation of trading on what has become the world’s most prominent futures exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or Merc. The process of the automation of the Merc was episodic, often driven by responses to perceived external threats, and involved both “local” politics and transnational considerations. The article discusses the relationship between the Merc’s automation and the embodied, deeply social trading practices of the Merc’s open-outcry trading pits, and compares how the Merc was mechanized with the quite different—and in a sense more explicitly “social”—project of automation launched by the Merc’s rival, the Chicago Board of Trade.
Fast Spatially Resolved Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Distribution Measurements in an Internal Combustion Engine Using Absorption Spectroscopy
Authors: Yoo Jihyung , Prikhodko Vitaly , Parks James E. , Perfetto Anthony , Geckler Sam , Partridge William P.
Published: September 2015

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in internal combustion engines is an effective method of reducing NO x emissions while improving efficiency. However, insufficient mixing between fresh air and exhaust gas can lead to cycle-to-cycle and cylinder-to-cylinder nonuniform charge gas mixtures of a multi-cylinder engine, which can in turn reduce engine performance and efficiency. A sensor packaged into a compact probe was designed, built and applied to measure spatiotemporal EGR distributions in the intake manifold of an operating engine. The probe promotes the development of more efficient and higher-performance engines by resolving high-speed in situ CO2 concentration at various locations in the intake manifold. The study employed mid-infrared light sources tuned to an absorption band of CO2 near 4.3 μm, an industry standard species for determining EGR fraction. The calibrated probe was used to map spatial EGR distributions in an intake manifold with high accuracy and monitor cycle-resolved cylinder-specific EGR fluctuations at a rate of up to 1 kHz.
Influência da familiaridade com procedimentos judiciais de interrogatório na sugestionabilidade interrogativa de reclusos reincidentes
Authors: Penajoia Marta Sofia , Pinho Maria Salomé , Dias Isabel Teixeira
Published: September 2015

O presente estudo teve como objetivo examinar se o contacto com procedimentos de inquirição usados pelo sistema de justiça criminal afeta a sugestionabilidade interrogativa, avaliada pela Escala de Sugestionabilidade de Gudjonsson 1 (GSS 1). Foi também analisada a relação entre a sugestionabilidade interrogativa e outras variáveis psicológicas, designadamente a inteligência não-verbal, neuroticismo, desejabilidade social e simulação ou esforço insuficiente. Recrutaram-se dois grupos de indivíduos adultos, sendo um deles constituído por 42 reclusos com várias condenações e o outro por 42 sujeitos que nunca foram submetidos a inquirições judiciais. A ambos os grupos foram administrados, individualmente, além da GSS 1, os seguintes instrumentos: Matrizes Progressivas Estandardizadas de Raven, Inventário dos Cinco Fatores NEO, Escala de Desejabilidade Social de Marlowe-Crowne e Test of Memory Malingering. Os reclusos reincidentes revelaram menor sugestionabilidade interrogativa comparativamente aos sujeitos sem contacto com inquirições judiciais. Foram apenas observadas correlações significativas entre sugestionabilidade interrogativa e inteligência não-verbal e desejabilidade social, apresentando características diferenciadas em ambos os grupos. Estes resultados sugerem que tais variáveis devem ser tidas em consideração no momento da avaliação da credibilidade de depoimentos e confissões.
The integration of immigrants within the framework of the European Union: the field, the stakeholders, the strategies
Authors: Sebastiani Luca
Published: September 2015

Over the past decade the European Union has witnessed a process of increasing discursive production, as well as the development of soft policy tools around the concept of integration —thus occupying a political space which had been previously an exclusive domain of nation states. This paper focuses on the most significant moments of the aforementioned process, dealing with the most influential stakeholders involved in it and with their different perspectives, standpoints and strategies. By adopting a qualitative perspective and a deconstructive approach, it shows the way in which the currently hegemonic concept of integration is closely conditioned by a «Home Affairs approach» and linked to immigration-control policies. Far from being the necessary outcome of a predetermined dynamics, this situation is rather the overall result of the «moves» made by situated actors.
Well-being, social capital and international migration. The case of the Latin American and Andean Spain
Authors: Leal Diego
Published: September 2015

This paper attempts to introduce the concept of Latin American and Andean Spain. In order to do this the author collects data about the massive migration between Latin America and the Andean region to Spain. Then, two theoretical perspectives are proposed as an explanation of this phenomenon: push and pull theory, linked to the concept of well-being, and social capital theory associated with the concept of migration network. In third place, it is analyzed some evidence from Colombia that supports the theoretical framework. Finally, contemporary return migration dynamics from Spain are discussed

Short-Run Determinants of the IDR/USD Exchange Rate: A Simultaneous-Equation Model
Authors: Hsing Yu
Published: September 2015

This paper examines short-run determinants of the Indonesian rupiah/USD exchange rate based on a simultaneous-equation model. Based on a reduced form equation and the EGARCH method, the paper finds that the IDR/USD exchange rate is positively associated with the real 10-year U.S. government bond yield, real GDP in Indonesia, the stock price in the U.S. and the expected exchange rate and negatively influenced by the real deposit rate in Indonesia, real GDP in the U.S., and the stock price in Indonesia. The Asian financial crisis has shifted the mean exchange rate by 4,900.857.
Application Of Kalman Filter In Navigation Process Of Automated Guided Vehicles
Authors: Śmieszek Mirosław , Dobrzańska Magdalena
Published: September 2015

In the paper an example of application of the Kalman filtering in the navigation process of automatically guided vehicles was presented. The basis for determining the position of automatically guided vehicles is odometry – the navigation calculation. This method of determining the position of a vehicle is affected by many errors. In order to eliminate these errors, in modern vehicles additional systems to increase accuracy in determining the position of a vehicle are used. In the latest navigation systems during route and position adjustments the probabilistic methods are used. The most frequently applied are Kalman filters.
Management Control in Inter-organizational Relationships: The Case of Franchises
Authors: Cordobés Madueño Magdalena , Solde Pilar
Published: September 2015

There is great interest in the role of management control on theoretical and practical developments within the field of Inter-organizational Relations. This research aims to contribute at verifying how relationships between firms affect the management control tools used, as illustrated in a specific case: the relationship between the franchisor and its franchisees, which has not received much attention to date. As indicated by previous research, case studies can be helpful to determine the factors affecting the type of management control tools that should be established to manage inter-firm relationships.Results have found that the franchisor uses quantitative control mechanisms in order to avoid common types of opportunistic franchise behavior related to royalty payments and other financial requirements, as well as qualitative tools to assure the fulfilment of agreement-related conditions regarding knowhow, to resolve unexpected non-economic problems and to encourage personal relationship and trust. This study also provides an outline on franchisor-franchisee relationships in the model proposed by Van der Meer-Kooistra and Vosselman (2000). To test this model, the franchisor's perspective (outsourcer) has been taken into account as performed when building the model. Findings indicate that this relationship shows many similarities to the pattern based on bureaucracy and a few similarities to patterns based on trust.
Disputas científicas que transbordam para o campo da Ética em pesquisa: entrevista com Maria Cecília de Souza Minayo
Authors: Minayo Maria Cecília de Souza
Published: September 2015

Esta entrevista foi realizada pelas Professoras Iara Coelho Zito Guerriero e Maria Lúcia Magalhães Bosi com Maria Cecília de Souza Minayo. Esta reflete o calor dos debates atuais em torno à implementação de um protocolo específico para a avaliação das Pesquisas em Ciências Sociais e Humanas (CHS), vis a vis, as atuais normas estabelecidas pelo Conselho Nacional de Saúde que têm um viés claramente biomédico. A entrevista versa sobre as dificuldades de se introduzir normas adequadas e justas para julgamento dos projetos de CHS, frente a uma compreensão hegemônica do próprio conceito de ciência pelos biólogos e médicos que tendem a não reconhecer outras abordagens a não ser as que adotam seus referenciais. No caso, o Conselho Nacional de Saúde acaba por ser portador dessa polêmica, levando os pesquisadores das ciências humanas e sociais a se perguntarem se o setor saúde tem competência para criar normas para outras áreas de conhecimento.

Genetic diversity of Arapaima gigas (Schinz, 1822) (Osteoglossiformes: Arapaimidae) in the Araguaia-Tocantins basin estimated by ISSR marker
Authors: Vitorino Carla A. , Oliveira Renata C. C. , Margarido Vladimir P. , Venere Paulo C.
Published: September 2015

The genetic diversity of the specimens of four natural populations of Arapaima from Araguaia-Tocantins basin was assessed within and among these stocks, using five primers for ISSR. COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I ) partial sequences confirmed that the specimens belongs to Arapaima gigas . The ISSR provided 168 loci, of which 165 were polymorphic. However, the number of loci for each population and expected heterozygosity values were low. AMOVA showed 52.63% intra-population variation and 47.37% inter-population variation. The F ST was high among all populations (F ST ≥ 0.25), however, the cluster analysis (PCoA) and Bayesian inference showed three major groups: Araguaiana-MT + São Félix do Araguaia-MT, Novo Santo Antônio-MT and Itupiranga-PA. The genetic distance was not correlated with geographical distance. The ISSR marker revealed that the populations of the Araguaia-Tocantins are structured and have a low genetic diversity. These are the first data from a population analysis using molecular markers for A. gigas of Araguaia-Tocantins basins and may be used to define the best management strategies and conservation projects for this species.

AS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DOS LICENCIANDOS DE FÍSICA REFERENTES À INCLUSÃO DE DEFICIENTES VISUAIS
Authors: Lima Maria da Conceição de Almeida Barbosa , Machado Maria Auxiliadora Delgado
Published: September 2015

Este trabalho estuda a disciplina Ensino de Física e Inclusão Social criada há três anos como eletiva no curso de Licenciatura em Física. Pretendemos conhecer o que os licenciandos pensam de um ensino de Física inclusivo enquanto estão na Universidade, para eventuais mudanças no curso. Utilizamos Grupo Focal articulado ao Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo para identificar as representações sociais. O resultado mostrou que o tema inclusão não mobiliza os licenciandos, não constituindo uma representação social. Por outro lado, a ideia de o ensino de Física estar associado com dificuldade que só pode ser enfrentada por estudantes segundo um padrão de normalidade é um objeto de representação social, uma vez que se apresentou como um fenômeno capaz de gerar concepções, opiniões e atitudes ora contraditórias ora convergentes. Esse resultado é um indicador de que nossos estudantes ainda não aceitam que deficientes visuais possam aprender Física.

Authors: Nascimento Tatiana Galieta , Martins Isabel
Published: September 2015

O presente trabalho desenvolve-se a partir de uma oficina pedagógica oferecida pelo NUTES/UFRJ para professores de ciências. O objetivo central do estudo é discutir o sentido que professores atribuem às visões e contribuições propostas por vários perfis de educadores em ciências no contexto da revista Ciência em Tela (www.cienciaemtela.nutes.ufrj.br), a partir da investigação do processo de leitura e de resenha de textos nela publicados, sob perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise de Discurso, como desenvolvida por Pêcheux e Orlandi. A análise dos resultados aponta que as condições de produção envolvidas nas escolhas e nas leituras dos textos remetem a aspectos como: demanda por atualização, utilização dos textos como ferramenta didática e necessidade específica de elaboração de textos. Foram ainda observados os intertextos e o estabelecimento de interpretações parafrásticas e polissêmicas, bem como os movimentos de apropriação dos textos que foram resenhados pelos professores.
LO QUE PIENSAN DE LA ENSEÑANZA Y LO QUE HACEN LOS PROFESORES UNIVERSITARIOS
Authors: Manterola Carlos
Published: September 2015

Este trabajo pretende identificar las "teorías explícitas" e "implícitas" que poseen profesores universitarios sobre la enseñanza y apreciar si existen diferencias entre ellas. Para examinar las teorías implícitas se observaron y grabaron dieciséis horas de clases de 6 profesores, que se transcribieron y analizaron. Para identificar las teorías explícitas se les pasó un cuestionario, cuyas preguntas reflejan las teorías de la enseñanza. Un estudio estadístico simple por la frecuencia de las respuestas del cuestionario reflejó las teorías que dicen mantener los profesores. El análisis de las grabaciones del discurso del profesor en sus clases se efectuó en dos fases; una separando el discurso por actividad didáctica para conformar la unidad de análisis; y, la segunda, caracterizando cada actividad con códigos que permitieran ubicarlas en alguna de las cinco teorías de la enseñanza seleccionadas. Se concluye que los profesores "dicen" mantener con preferencia las teorías activa y constructiva, mientras que en su práctica de clase reflejan preferentemente una teoría tradicional con rasgos de la técnica y activa. La contradicción entre lo que se defiende verbalmente y lo que se hace no podía ser más neta. A la luz de estos resultados, se debe repensar la concepción de la formación de los docentes.
Das palavras e das coisas curiosas: correspondência e escrita na coleção de notícias de Manuel Severim de Faria
Authors: Megiani Ana Paula Torres
Published: September 2015

Enquanto vigorou a União das Coroas Ibéricas (1580-1640) aprofundaram-se as relações de conhecimento acerca das conquistas luso-espanholas. Alguns circuitos e conexões surgiram constituídos por funcionários e clérigos letrados, tanto de enviados com o objetivo de registrar e descrever as partes do Oriente e do Ocidente como dos que ao lado de suas atividades administrativas e evangelizadoras enviavam informações e conhecimentos delas. Manuel Severim de Faria, Chantre da Sé de Évora, criou e centralizou um desses importantes circuitos, do qual fizeram parte, entre outros, o vice-rei Diogo do Couto e os freis Cristóvão de Lisboa e Vicente do Salvador. Outros, menos conhecidos, relatavam em cartas as notícias com grande rapidez, como as da guerra contra os holandeses na Bahia em 1624-25.
Dinâmica da modernidade na América Latina: sociabilidades e institucionalização
Authors: Gadea Carlos
Published: September 2015

O presente trabalho pretende delinear alguns traços significativos do que se poderia compreender como modernidade na América Latina. O interesse radica em discutir como a caracterização da particular experiência histórica da modernidade latinoamericana requer de uma interpretação do sentido e significado dos processos de institucionalização de sociabilidades, disciplinamento e uniformidade cultural. Uma análise da modernidade na América Latina sugere destacar aqueles dispositivos normativos que fazem referência à formalização e institucionalização de experiências sociais. Assim, pretende-se argumentar que as múltiplas práticas modernizadoras parecem ter apresentado uma ambígua lógica institucionalizadora: caracterizam-se por seus marcados signos de fragilidade e ausência em determinadas esferas da vida social, ao mesmo tempo em que denotam uma forte presença homogeneizadora e disciplinar, materializadas em uma instituição, o Estado, que conseguiu se situar acima das demais.
O rei da América: notas sobre a aclamação tardia de d. João VI no Brasil
Authors: Hermann Jacqueline

O texto apresenta algumas possibilidades analíticas para a decisão tardia de aclamar d. João VI no Brasil, tendo o rei assumido o título monárquico desde a morte de sua mãe, d. Maria I, em 20 de março de 1816. A decisão pela aclamação e a forma grandiosa da cerimônia, quase dois anos depois, deve ser analisada à luz da mudança do contexto europeu após a derrota de Napoleão, da restauração das forças monárquicas impressas nos tratados do Congresso de Viena, e, no Brasil, considerando os novos perfis dos ministros de d. João nos últimos anos de sua permanência na América

Com base em documentação inédita o texto coloca em foco a ação de tais agências, que funcionaram como braço avançado da comunidade de informações noscampi. As AESI exerceram tarefas de vigilância, censura, contrapropaganda e triagem ideológica dos membros da comunidade universitária, o que implicou, às vezes, a demissão de professores e a expulsão de estudantes.
Cor e hierarquia social no Brasil escravista: o caso do Paraná, passagem do século XVIII para o XIX
Authors: Machado Cacilda
Published: September 2015

Em geral os historiadores concordam que, sob a escravidão, a designação da cor das pessoas no Brasil tinha mais relação com a sua inserção social do que propriamente com a ascendência étnica. Nesse sentido, nesse artigo exponho alguns aspectos acerca do processo de diferenciação social, por meio da designação da cor, no interior do grupo de escravos e pobres livres que viviam no Paraná na passagem do XVIII para o XIX, uma região com poucos escravos e com predomínio de pequenas escravarias e de domicílios não escravistas de brancos e pardos pobres.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect on quality of life of elderly people enrolled in GAMIA – Multidisciplinary Care Group to Outpatient Elderly Subjects (Grupo de Assistência Multidisciplinar ao Idoso Ambulatorial) of the Geriatric Department, Hospital das Clinicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo. Methods: Between 2000 and 2002, 83 elderly participants of GAMIA were assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-bref) at the beginning and the end of the program. Functionality was assessed by Katz and Lawton scales and sociodemographic data were obtained from medical charts. Results: Females predominated (79.5%) and overall mean age was 69.30 years. Data analysis showed a reduction in the physical domain of WHOQOL-bref (p = 0.014) and increased psychological health and environment domains (p = 0.029 and p = 0.007, respectively), detecting a trend of increase in social relationships and in general domains (p = 0.062 and p = 0.052, respectively). Conclusions: The clinical evaluation of the elderly detected previously unknown diseases and determination of the use of new drugs, which might have been the predominant factor for the deterioration of their perception in the physical domain. Improvement in psychological health and the environment can be related to psychological and social support that the elderly received from peers and professionals and the benefits of group activities, as well as the upward trend observed in social relationships and general domains. Participation in a program to promote healthy aging was effective in improving the quality of life of the elderly.

Published: September 2015

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the presence of depression, age, level of schooling, occupation, marital status, number of children and nutritional status (maternal and of the child) in mothers of overweight and eutrophic children and relate the data to mother/child bonding. Methods: A total of 120 mothers of children aged up to 10 years participated; 30 of them were overweight and 30 were eutrophic (low-income bracket); 30 were overweight and 30 eutrophic (high-income bracket). The control group was composed of eutrophic children paired according to sex, age, level of schooling, and social condition. Data collection was made through interviews. The assessment instruments were: Mother/Child Bonding Assessment Protocol and Beck Depression Inventory. The nutritional classification was defined by calculation of the body mass index, as per the curves of the World Health Organization. For statistics, McNemar, χ2, and Fisher's exact tests were used. A 5% level of rejection of the null hypothesis was set. Results: There was no significant result between mother/child bonding and the variables studied, or between the presence of depression and level of schooling, marital status, occupation, and maternal nutritional status. Nevertheless, mothers of eutrophic children (high-income bracket) showed less depression than mothers of eutrophic children (low-income bracket). Mothers with three or more children displayed more depression than mothers with less than three children. Mothers under 30 years of age showed more depression than mothers aged 30 years or older. Conclusion: There was no significant result between mother/child bonding and the variables studied, but the bond was compromised in all mothers of the sample. There was a significant result regarding the presence of depression.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of screening hyper and hypoglycemia measured by capillary glycemia and standard monitorization of hyperglycemic patients hospitalized in regular care units of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein. Methods: The capillary glycemia was measured by the Precision PCx (Abbott) glucosimeter, using the PrecisionWeb (Abbott) software. The detection of hyper and hypoglycemia during the months of May/June were compared to those of March/April in 2009 and to the frequency of the diagnosis of diabetes in 2007. Results: There was an increase in the glycemia screening from 27.7 to 77.5% of hospitalized patients (p < 0.001), of hyperglycemia detection (from 9.3 to 12.2%; p < 0.001) and of hypoglycemia (from 1.5 to 3.3%; p < 0.001) during the months of May/June 2009. According to this action 14 patients for each additional case of hyperglycemia and 26 cases for each case of hypoglycemia were identified. The detection of hyperglycemia was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the frequency of registered diagnosis related do diabetes in the year of 2007. Conclusions: the adoption of an institutional program of glycemia monitorization improves the detection of hyper and hypoglycemia and glycemia control in hospitalized patients in regular care units.

Published: September 2015

Objective: To report the clinical progress of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with autologous transplantation after failure or relapse of first-line treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Methods: The results of a retrospective analysis of 31 patients submitted to autologous transplantation as second-line treatment, between April 2000 and December 2008, were analyzed. Fourteen men and seventeen women, with a median age of 27 years, were submitted to autologous transplantation for relapsed (n = 21) or refractory (n = 10) Hodgkin's lymphoma. Results: Mortality related to treatment in the first 100 days after transplant was 3.2%. With a mean follow-up period of 18 months (range: 1 to 88 months), the probability of global survival and progression-free survival in 18 months was 84 and 80%, respectively. The probability of global survival and progression-free survival at 18 months for patients with chemosensitive relapses (n = 21) was 95 and 90%, respectively, versus 60 and 45% for patients with relapses resistant to chemotherapy (n = 10) (p = 0.001 for global survival; p = 0.003 for progression-free survival). In the multivariate analysis, absence of disease or pretransplant disease < 5 cm were favorable factors for global survival (p= 0.02; RR: 0.072; 95%CI: 0.01-0.85) and progression-free survival (p= 0.01; RR: 0.040; 95%CI: 0.007-0.78). Conclusion: Autologous transplantation of stem-cells is a therapeutic option for Hodgkin's lymphoma patients after the first relapse. Promising results were observed in patients with a low tumor burden at transplant.
Livedoid vasculopathy: fast involution after anticoagulant and hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Authors: Bollmann Patricia Weinschenker , Shimada Andréa Kazumi , Michalany Nilceo Schwery , Manhani Ana Rita de Araújo Burgos , Giglio Auro del
Published: September 2015

The livedoid vasculopathy is a rare condition characterized by the presence of recurrent painful ulcers in distal extremities of lower limbs. Histologically there is thickness of dermal vessels, occlusion of its light by fibrin thrombi associated with minimal inflammatory infiltrate. It might occur as an isolated condition or be associated with an underlying systemic disease, including coagulation and collagen disorders, or neoplasms. Because it is a rare disease there is no consensus for its treatment. We report a case of a 41-year-old man with painful ulcers in the lower extremities. We did not find any associated diseases. The lesions improved dramatically after treatment with anticoagulant and hyperbaric therapy. We concluded that anticoagulation associated with hyperbaric oxygenation may be benefit for the treatment of patients with livedoid vasculopathy. However, further studies should be done with a larger population to confirm our results.

Dark Tourism and Death: A Grounded Theory Approach on Bongha Villiage
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Shim Chang-Sup , Jeong Chul
Published: September 2015

Thanatological perspective has been widely accepted in recent tourism research on dark tourism while there are some criticisms on the perspective due to its excessive concentration on the concept of death. Therefore, this study aims to critically evaluate the validity of thanatological perspective on dark tourism by examining the tourist experience in Bongha villige in South Korea. The village is a hometown of former South Korean president Roh Moo-hyun although it became well-known after he committed suicide at the same place in 2009. After his death, the village has attracted each year around one million visitors and became a popular attraction in the region. Employing a grounded theory approach, we interviewed 14 tourists at Bongha village and analyzed their experience. The results show that thanatological perspective is a valid framework, which well explain the tourist experience in the village because their motivation, behavior, and personal impacts are closely associated with the concept of death while there are some limitations of the perspective. Based on the results, this study suggests that more attention should be paid to interdisciplinary approach on dark tourism.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kiyomi Taniguchi , Kim Hyun-Ji
Published: September 2015

In Korea, recognition about Slow Food is still very low and few studies has been conducted yet. The purpose of this study is to investigate images of Slow Food and to verify the relation between image, perceived value and satisfaction aiming to establish the effective plans to use Slow Food as tourism resources. The analysis result based on the census enforced on the location of 2013 Namyangju International Slow Food Festival is as follows; Firstly, images related to protection of environment and health appeared high level, meanwhile, images related to attractiveness of cooking method and taste appeared low level. Secondly, image of Slow Food was classified into 4 factors. Each factors partially had positive effects on perceived value and all factors had positive effects on satisfaction. Thirdly, perceived value was classified into 4 factors, all of which had positive effects on satisfaction. The suggestions of this study could be summarized that it is important to increase the recognition of overall Slow Food image evenly about every factors, which would result in the higher level of satisfaction of Slow Food experience.
The bibliography of and taxa proposed by Charles D. Michener
Authors: Engel Michael S.
Published: September 2015

In honor of Distinguished Professor and Curator Emeritus Charles D. Michener’s 97th birthday, the Journal of Melittology publishes this special issue tabulating his expansive list of publications, the vast majority of which entail studies on the systematics and biology of bees  (Apoidea: Anthophila) and represents some of the most significant contributions to the subject.  In total, this treatment covers Michener’s 514 citable items between 1935 and September of the present year (an astonishing eight-decade-long span of publishing!).  Many of the works provide descriptions of new taxa and the bibliography is annotated to indicate those novel taxonomic acts included in each publication.  To this is added an accounting of all of the species-, genus-, and family-group names established by Michener during this same period, and organized by both taxonomic group and rank.  Naturally, given Michener’s lifetime of work devoted to bees, the vast majority of these are of the Anthophila, but it does also include his taxonomic output on Acari, Lepidoptera, and Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera).

Authors: Chou Chun-Mei , Shen Chien-Hua
Published: September 2015

This study examines 728 tertiary students’ entrepreneurship learning socialization and its influencing factors to serve as a school reference for the development of internship and entrepreneurship education. The results show that students’ internship experience has a significant direct effect on entrepreneurship learning socialization, and entrepreneurship intention has a significant effect on entrepreneurship learning socialization through internship experience. The influence pattern and empirical data of entrepreneurship intention and internship experience on entrepreneurship learning socialization has a good fit. This paper gives an insight from Taiwan tertiary institutions about entrepreneurial learning socialization of students and contributions to them. We describe the development of the influencing factors, discuss its implications for entrepreneurship and internship education, and finally offer suggestions for further entrepreneurship education development.
Experimental Study of Composition Variation During Flow of Gas-Condensate
Authors: Vo Hai X. , Horne Roland N.
Published: September 2015

A significant and unique factor associated with gas-condensate reservoirs is a prominent decrease in productivity once the flowing bottom-hole pressure drops below the dew-point pressure. Gas-condensate reservoirs exhibit complex phase and flow behaviors due to the appearance of a condensate bank in the near-well region, and differ in their behavior from conventional gas reservoirs, especially for low permeability, high-yield systems where the condensate banking is more severe.

However, there is still a lack of understanding phase and flow behaviors of gas-condensate reservoirs. The difficulty lies in the variation of the composition of the in-situ fluid due to the accumulation of heavy components in the condensate phase. A good understanding of how the gas condensate reservoirs vary in composition is very important to optimize the producing strategy, to reduce the impact of condensate banking, and to improve the ultimate gas recovery.

The composition variation has been observed in the field but its effects have been reported rarely in the literature. This work studied compositional variation of gas-condensate systems through a series of laboratory experiments and supporting numerical simulations. The study verified claims on the effect of flow through porous media on the apparent behavior of a gas-condensate mixture. These include compositional variation during depletion, failure to achieve condensate revaporization upon well shut-in, and the effect of well bottom-hole pressures on condensate banking. The effect of irreducible water saturation on the composition variation was also studied.

Results from this study show that composition can vary significantly during depletion. Due to the difference in mobilities and accumulation effect, the composition of the mixture will change locally. The overall composition near the wellbore becomes richer in heavy components. As a result, the phase envelope of fluid will shift. Near-well fluids can undergo a transition from retrograde gas to volatile oil. By taking account of the new understanding of the impact of compositional changes, the liquid dropout can be “controlled” by the production strategy. Also, some common practices, for example shutting wells after condensate drops out to revaporize the condensate can be understood to be ineffective.
Alternative Methods for Nasotracheal Intubation and Extubation in a Patient With Apert Syndrome
Authors: Tsukamoto Masanori , Yokoyama Takeshi
Published: September 2015

Apert syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by craniofacial abnormalities, craniosynostosis and syndactyly. Nasotracheal intubation for a patient with Apert syndrome can be a challenge because of abnormal facial anatomy. We experienced the anesthetic management of a patient with Apert syndrome who underwent partial resection of mandible and cleft palate repair with nasotracheal intubation. Nasotracheal intubation using a gastric tube and extubation using an airway exchange catheter proved useful in this case of airway compromise.
ASD and VSD Flow Dynamics and Anesthetic Management
Authors: Yen Philip
Published: September 2015

Atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects are often encountered in patients presenting for treatment under anesthesia. The flow mechanisms for both defects are predominantly left to right shunting prior to long-term maladaptive changes that may occur. Close examination of the shunt dynamics demonstrates a minor right to left shunt that occurs as well. The article discusses these dynamics and the impact on an anesthetic plan.

Published: September 2015

This randomized double-blind crossover trial investigated the discomfort associated with 2 injection speeds, low (60 seconds) and slow (100 seconds), during inferior alveolar nerve block by using 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1 : 100,000 epinephrine. Three phases were considered: (a) mucosa perforation, (b) needle insertion, and (c) solution injection. Thirty-two healthy adult volunteers needing bilateral inferior alveolar nerve blocks at least 1 week apart were enrolled in the present study. The anesthetic procedure discomfort was recorded by volunteers on a 10-cm visual analog scale in each phase for both injection speeds. Comparison between the 2 anesthesia speeds in each phase was performed by paired t test. Results showed no statistically significant difference between injection speeds regarding perforation (P = .1016), needle placement (P = .0584), or speed injection (P = .1806). The discomfort in all phases was considered low. We concluded that the 2 injection speeds tested did not affect the volunteers' pain perception during inferior alveolar nerve blocks.
Sevoflurane-Based General Anesthesia Induction via Nasopharyngeal Endotracheal Tube Prior to Definitive Airway Control in Pediatric Oral Tumors

Published: September 2015

Airway-related tumors in pediatrics are always challenging for anesthesiologists. We present 2 cases of friable, bleeding large tumors in the oral cavity where conventional methods of securing the airway were not possible. Induction of general anesthesia could potentially lead to complete airway collapse and catastrophic obstruction in such cases. Awake fibrotic intubation is limited in pediatric patients. We describe the innovative use of an endotracheal tube inserted blindly as a nasopharyngeal airway guided by end-tidal carbon dioxide trace. This allowed us to bypass the anatomical obstruction and induce anesthesia using sevoflurane in high-flow oxygen. By the described technique, we were able to maintain and assist the spontaneous breathing of the child as well. We also highlight limitations of the use of a conventional nasopharyngeal airway in such situations.
Response of natural forest regeneration to human disturbance in Banke National Park
Authors: Napit R. , Paudel P. K.
Published: September 2015

Tropical forest continues to decline in Nepal’s lowlands, with a serious negative consequence for biodiversity conservation. Even a strict natural reserve is subjected to have some degree of human disturbances. The newly established Banke National Park of Nepal provides an excellent context to evaluate effects of human disturbances on the forest regeneration status. This article assesses the regeneration status of the park. A total of 1,067 plots were laid out within the park area. In each plot, three concentric rings of radii of 10 m, 5 m, and 1 m were established. Data of seedling/sapling and human disturbance variables were collected from each of the concentric plots. Principal component analysis (PCA) of all disturbance variables was carried out to generate a disturbance index. The findings of this study alienates with intermediate disturbance hypothesis. Cut wood, lopped tree, human/livestock trails, people number - are the significant variables for the impact of sapling and seedling density in the park. The induced human disturbances up to the limit avails the highest regeneration status in the park. These human disturbances might have induced the spatial heterogeneity and internal dynamics which help in the regeneration. The main challenge for the forest managers and scientists is to identify the indicators of environmental damage of forest and their threshold levels at which human disturbances will result in an irreversible decline of the vegetation and its regeneration.Banko Janakari, A Journal of Forestry Information for NepalVol. 25, No. 1Page: 39-49
