Strategic Hedging: A Comparative Study of Methods, Results and Discussion (and Conclusion) Sections of Research Articles in English and Russian
Authors: Zanina Elena
Published: April 2017

A great deal of research has established the importance of hedging and its cross-linguistic differences for intercultural academic communication and, consequently, for L2 EAP/ESP teaching and learning. However, strategic hedging seen as discourse-based hedging strategies related to the rhetorical structure of research papers seems to be underexplored. The article reports on a mainly descriptive study of its cross-linguistic variation in the Methods, Results and Discussion (and Conclusion) sections of English-medium and Russian-medium research articles in the field of management and marketing. Based on D. Koutsantoni’s taxonomy, this paper analyzes 20 published articles to compare the types, frequencies and reveal some tendencies of using strategic hedges in both languages. The research detects the same two major categories of strategic hedges (agreement with other research and limitations) for both languages, with the same further subcategorization for each of them. The findings reveal differences between the languages in the overall frequencies of strategic hedges and the frequencies of their subtypes, as well as in tendencies of their usage including Russian writers’ preference for referring to general opinion, implicit ways of expressing limitations and giving one explanation for obscure results, as compared to English writers. The research outcomes indicate that cross-linguistic variation of strategic hedging in English-medium and Russian-medium research articles is an important feature to be taken into account in EAP/ESP teaching and learning.
Arthur Ransome and Dmitri Mitrokhin: Translating the Russian Folktale
Authors: Bogrdanova Tatiana , Usmanova Asya
Published: April 2017

This paper focuses on Arthur Ransome’s and Dmitri Mitrokhin’ s collaboration in translating the Russian folktales. Old Peter’s Russian Tales (1916), Ransome’ s first serious (and sustained) success, was the translation product of his early sojourns in Russia, illustrated by Dmitri Mitrokhin. The aims of the research are threefold: (1) to explore the cooperation between the British translator and the Russian artist in translating Russian folktales as an insight into the intense British-Russian dialogues of the time; (2) to examine the interaction of the translated texts and the images in terms of the translation strategy employed, as well as the influences of the contemporaneous tastes and trends; (3) to gain a better understanding of the translator’s agency and human interaction in building an important link between the cultures and the countries. The research has required close reading of primary and secondary sources, including archival materials, as well as the textual analysis of the translated stories, the translator’s correspondence and other papers pertaining to his micro-history. These latter are used to explore the interplay of the translated text and the pictures against the background of personal, as well as wider British-Russian cultural interaction at the turn of the twentieth century.Ransome’s book of over three hundred pages was illustrated with Mitrokhin’s seven full-page coloured pictures and twenty nine black and white head-pieces and end-pieces, which the author found admirable and his publishers were pleased with, though later editions would be illustrated by the other artists as well. Ransome’s translation strategy in retelling the Russian tales to his young reader at home was largely domesticating; however, he was careful to convey their culturally specific character, which was enhanced by Mitrokhin’s effort to acquaint the foreign reader with the Russian peasant world. The main result achieved is that the examination of the interplay between the text and the picture shows the specific relevance of aesthetically and emotionally powerful images in rendering the culturally distinct character of folktales. This is, therefore, a case study of the intercultural dialogue between the translator and the artist which produced an interesting interpretation of Russian folklore for the international reader and made an important contribution to the cultural links between the countries.
A New Type of Lexicographic Product: Thesaurus of Text Strings. Field of EFL/ESL
Authors: Keselman Iosif
Published: April 2017

The “Thesaurus of Text Strings: The field of EFL/ESL” (TTS) is a structured collection of text fragments extracted from various texts, both printed and digital, that deal with teaching and learning English as a foreign or second language. While the sublanguage of ELF/ESL has been vastly discussed in literature, the TTS is a radically new type of dictionary due to the nature of its constituent objects, the text strings. A text string (TS) is a lexicographic object of unique status; as such, it has not been used before. It is different from all other objects traditionally treated in dictionaries of various types, such as words, collocations, idioms, proverbs and other reproducible linguistic units. TSs have been extracted from specialized texts, they are supposed to reflect the various aspects, even the minute ones, of the referential situations presented in the texts. The TSs in the Thesaurus are arranged mostly according to the conceptual structure of the Foreign Languages Teaching Methodology (a deductive logical procedure, ‘head – bottom’), but on the lower, more concrete, levels of analysis the TSs have to be grouped following the opposite logical direction, ‘bottom – up’ as the Teaching Methodology concepts prove to be too general to differentiate between finer meaning distinctions of numerous TSs. The TTS supplies a considerable amount of carefully structured professional information in language form. It is aimed primarily at teachers of English who are not native speakers of the language and who wish to make their professional communication in English more authentic. It can also be used in classroom activities with students who are preparing for teaching careers. Thus, a conclusion may be justified that the TTS has both the theoretical significance for lexicography and the practical value as a good professional teaching material. The TTS may also be meaningfully considered against the background of today’s Corpus Linguistics. Though not a ‘true’ corpus per se, it has certain features that are essentially similar to those of contemporary linguistic corpora.
Online Forums as a Mirror Reflecting the World of ESP
Authors: Dzięcioł-Pędich Agnieszka
Published: April 2017

The article presents the analysis of most frequent threads in four Internet forums to see what can be learnt about ESP teachers’ interests and understanding of the concept of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The results show that the majority of discussions revolve around the choice of materials for different types of ESP. This might suggest that forum members know very little about oral and written communicative strategies of a given profession and rely on the expertise of course books writers to provide them with such knowledge. Moreover, the analysis shows that forum members do not discuss how to teach individual language skills but how to teach different types of ESP which might indicate that there is a greater difference between teaching the same skills in two branches of ESP than there is between teaching different skills with a single type of ESP. The results also indicate that some users feel that ESP teachers should be interested in more than just linguistics, but there are those who claim that the main difference between ESP and general English lies in vocabulary. This polarity of opinions shows that no established view of ESP may exist. The analysis further suggests that the distinction between ESP and EGP is clearer to those who are more interested in learners’ professional needs. Finally, the choice of topics in the analysed threads indicates that forum members and their visitors are interested not only in ESP, but in subjects which have nothing to do with ESP.
Challenges of Minority Teachers in a Western Society: Experience in Austria
Authors: Pfanner Nasy Inthisone
Published: April 2017

The aim of this reflective article is to investigate firstly, the preconception of professionalism in teaching; secondly, whether minority teacher’s identity influences their professionalism; and, thirdly, how minority teachers affect minority students, since minority teachers face real inequality in white societies. The issue of teacher professionalism has always been controversial due to the changing nature of the profession and society’s expectations of how the profession should be. There has not been an investigation regarding minority teachers in Austria. I wish to address this gap in the research by investigating the experience of a Laotian-American in a secondary school. The investigation reveals that in spite of the efforts that governments in Canada, the United States, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom have put into recruiting minority educators, minority teacher population does not keep pace with the minority student populations. Regrettably, Austrian government does not have such a recruiting scheme. This study has the potential to raise debates about minorities in the Austrian educational system and contribute to existing discussion about minority educators in white society.
Efficiency of Individualised Resources in the Russian EFL Classroom
Authors: Stognieva Olga
Published: April 2017

In order to plan lessons that include effective instructional strategies, it is critical for teachers to be aware of student aptitudes, personality variables, learning strategies, interests, aspirations, and talents. This paper presents a way for Russian teachers to improve their students’ speaking abilities when learning foreign languages, called individualised resources, which are based on the concept of individualisation. Individualised resources are designed to help students to actively participate in the learning process, contribute to their productivity of learning and compensate for missing abilities when mastering foreign languages. In order to verify the effectiveness of this educational tool, qualitative and quantitative indicators were applied to a classroom-based study. Research findings illustrate how the approach enhanced the students’ speaking abilities in terms of purposefulness, richness of speech content and logical progression of speech. The results presented in the article indicate that this type of training may be sufficient to shape speaking skills when teaching English.
Chronopotic Information of the Non-Dialogic Part of American Dramatic Text (Based On 20th Century American Plays)
Authors: Orlova Tatiana
Published: April 2017

It is well-known that any dramatic text consists of two main blocks – the dialogic represented by actors’ speech and the non-dialogic part represented by the author’s indications (remarks). This article seeks to analyze the informative potential of the non-dialogic part of a dramatic text from the point of view of its content-related and semantic characteristics, and in its peculiarity is considered as a distinctive feature of the American linguocultural area. The topic of the content of the non-dialogic part is rendered by chronotope and anthropocentric information, which reveal the point that a dramatic text is encoded in the verbalization of extra-linguistic space/time and of a human being. Special attention is paid to spatiotemporal indications as the constituents of chronotopic information. The interior and scenery descriptions as subtypes of spatial loci are subjects of the research as well. The investigation was carried out on the bases of 45 dramatic texts created by American authors of the 20th century. The research methods were component data mining, descriptive analytical method and linguistic comparison. The results showed that the distinctive feature of the American plays of the first half of the 20th century was the presence of large pieces of text and specific information in spatiotemporal indications in the non-dialogic part. Furthermore, the results affirmed that during the reading of modern American dramatic texts it might seem as though the authors forgot about the original orientation of plays for performance on stage. Some of the spatiotemporal indications were bound not to be embodied by a stage director and were available only for a reader, who in this aspect was equal to a reader of a prosaic text. As for a viewer, they are highly unlikely to perceive the author’s descriptions of the scenery in full informational content and consequently they would face a definite information gap.
Lexical and Grammatical Means of Distancing Strategy Performed in American Political Discourse
Authors: Karnyushina Vera , Makhina Alina
Published: April 2017

This article provided a survey of the English lexis and grammar constructions that serve to realize communicative intention of request aimed at distance enforcement in the American political discourse. The research method was the discourse analysis and the statistics data analysis and its interpretation. As a result, the most common and effective lexical and grammatical language means expressing the communicative intention of request were singled out and their choice explained. The results showed that in the course of the political discourse the opponents used those linguistic means that helped to minimize the pressure and save the face, thus having discussed topical disputable issues. Moreover the study showed the importance of further investigations in order to explain how communicative intentions will be received by its targets and thus how it may succeed (or fail) as a form of persuasion and influence.

Introduction. Low adherence to diabetes self-care affects glycemic control and increases the risk of diabetes complications and premature deaths. Studies from the United States have found a relationship between distress and adherence to self-care in patients with diabetes; however, there is a lack of research on distress and its association with self-care in Mexican patients with diabetes. Objective. To evaluate the prevalence and association of distress with low self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method. A cross-sectional study was carried out in two family medicine clinics of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Mexico City. Four hundred eighty-nine type 2 diabetic patients ≥ 19 years of age participated. The statistical analysis incorporated a multiple Poisson regression. Results. Of the patients 18.8% had distress, 44.8% had low adherence to medication, 43.8% had low adherence to regular physical exercise, 82.4% did not consume the recommended amount of vegetables and 51.1% consumed foods with high sugar content. The distress was associated with poor adherence to medication and lack of regular physical exercise. Discussion and conclusion. The high prevalence of distress in type 2 diabetic patients in comparison with the general population reveals the importance of distress screening and health care at family practice clinics

Introduction. Symptoms of depression are highly prevalent among people living with HIV/AIDS in Brazil and in other countries. This situation points to the need for proper diagnosis and timely treatment by the health team. Objective. To identify the prevalence of depressive symptoms and its association with sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral disorders among PLWHA. Method. This cross-sectional study analyzed 331 people living with HIV/AIDS in the city of São Paulo, Southeast Brazil. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess depressive symptoms. To identify predictors of depression, a multiple regression model was used, with a 95% confidence interval. Results. Of the participants, 167 (50.5%) were men, with an average age of 40. Depressive symptoms were prevalent in 42.3% and the factors associated with depression were being employed, age, and immunological status. Being employed was 1.8 times more likely (95% CI [1.0, 2.8]) to develop depressive symptoms than those who were not employed. The odds ratio of individuals under the age of 40 indicates they were 1.8 times more likely (95% CI [1.1, 2.8]) to have depressive symptoms than those over 40 years old. In regard to clinical aspects, individuals with 200 CD4 cells per mm3 are 2.1 times (95% CI [1.1, 3.9]) more likely to develop depression. Discussion and conclusion. We conclude that the prevalence of depressive symptoms among people living with HIV/AIDS was 42.3% and it was associated with being employed, age and CD4 + cell count.

Introduction. In addition to compulsion (involuntary hospitalization, seclusion, restraint, etc.), there are broader forms of coercion (persuasion, interpersonal pressure, inducement or threat), called informal or covert coercion, all of which try to improve patients adherence to treatment. Objective. To analyse the use of covert coercion in mental health outpatients and the mental health professionals´ views on this practice comparing four countries (Spain, Italy, Mexico and Chile). Methods. We conducted a qualitative research using four focus groups in each country with mental health professionals working in mental health centres and based on a thematic analysis approach. Sample. The total sample was made up of 98 professionals (31 psychiatrists, 25 clinical psychologists, 28 nurses, eight social workers and six other professionals). Results. The use of informal coercion was recognized in clinical practice, but its intensity was related to professionals´ characteristics and to factors related to diagnosis, clinical course, perceived risk, insight, therapeutic relationship and organizational issues in the delivery of services. Its use was justified by effectiveness in improving adherence and, generally, in seeking benefits for the patient, but sometimes in a paternalistic way. Discussion and conclusion. Our results match those described in the literature in terms of: 1. sociodemographic and clinical profile; 2. the reason that leads to its use (adherence); 3. ethical justification (search for patient´s benefit, trying not to impair his freedom); hence, the most intense forms (threat) were misperceived. Our professionals acknowledged the use of covert coercion in their clinical practice, justifying it on ethical and clinical grounds.

Background. The new psychoactive drugs (NPD) are those that represent a danger to public health and are not prohibited by conventions on international narcotics. The concept also includes new contexts and new routes of consumption as well as novel ways of distribution, notably Internet. The risks associated with NPD consumption are largely unknown to users and to health care providers. Objective. To integrate the existing evidence regarding the main NPD in terms of description, epidemiology, psychopharmacology, medical complications and psychoactive effects. Method. To review relevant and updated clinical information on NPD obtained from specialized books and indexed scientific journals (PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus), as well as official documents edited by international organizations dedicated to the epidemiologic analysis of drug abuse and Internet websites and forums managed by psychoactive substance users. Results. Aspects of clinical and pharmacological interest are described comprehensively, together with epidemiological data and risks associated to the consumption of the most relevant NPD: synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, NBOMe series, indoleamines, piperazines, hallucinogenic mushrooms (Psilocybe SP.), synthetic opioids, plant products (khat, kratom, Salvia divinorum, ayahuasca) and dissociative anesthetics. Discussion and conclusion. The emergence of the NPD is a phenomenon on the rise with important consequences for public health. Learning about new trends in drug consumption and its potential risks should be essential for the medical professional. New research is needed in order to understand the phenomenon of the NPD and its pharmacological, clinical and legal implications.
Respeitável público: espetacularização e popularização do futebol profissional no Rio de Janeiro (1933-1941)
Authors: Gomes Eduardo de Souza
Published: April 2017

Este artigo possui como objetivo analisar as relações existentes entre o processo de profissionalização do futebol no Rio de Janeiro (1933-1941) e a construção de uma lógica espetacularizada desse esporte na cidade, tal como no Brasil. A partir da análise de fontes periódicas e obras do período, buscamos entender como a espetacularização e a popularização do futebol, sendo ambos processos iniciados nos primórdios do século XX, se efetivaram definitivamente com o avanço da profissionalização dessa prática, iniciada no Rio de Janeiro durante a década de 1920 e consolidada nos anos 1930. Entendemos que esse cenário propiciou a ampliação do público e do mercado em torno do futebol, assim como a construção de discursos e o uso desse esporte enquanto fim político nacionalista, notadamente no contexto do Estado Novo varguista (1937-1945).

Translações no Facebook: a controvérsia 'Galo Machista!?' nas páginas de torcidas organizadas
Authors: D'Andréa Carlos , Melgaço Leonardo , Firmino Roberta
Published: April 2017

O ponto de partida deste trabalho é a controvérsia em torno da exploração do corpo feminino e do machismo no futebol desencadeada pelo desfile de lançamento do novo uniforme do Clube Atlético Mineiro, em fevereiro de 2016. Nosso objetivo do artigo é mapear e discutir as translações entre torcedores e demais atores nas páginas do Facebook de cinco torcidas organizadas do time. Mais especificamente, nos interessa observar, através da extração e visualização de rastros digitais extraídos do Facebook, como a controvérsia “Galo Machista?!?” desencadeou a formação de agrupamentos, oposições, alianças etc. entre usuários/torcedores envolvidos nas discussões on-line. Partindo da abordagem da Teoria Ator-Rede, nos apropriamos de conceitos como translação e controvérsia, que são discutidos a partir da ambiência sociotécnica do Facebook e das especificidades das torcidas organizadas. Após uma análise quantitativa das postagens, detalhamos as discussões desencadeadas por uma "nota de repúdio" ao desfile (torcida Galo Marx) e por uma peça de apoio à patrocinadora (Galo Metal).
Se vencer o Palestra, vence a 'bella' e legendária pátria italiana: um estudo comparado dos Palestras Itália de São Paulo e de Belo Horizonte (1914-1933)
Authors: Moura Rodrigo Caldeira Bagni
Published: April 2017

No presente trabalho analisaremos em perspectiva comparada o Palestra Itália fundado em São Paulo em 1914, que após 1942 passou a se chamar Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, com o Palestra Itália de Belo Horizonte, que iniciou suas atividades em 1921 e após 1942 transformou-se em Cruzeiro Esporte Clube. Nosso objetivo central será analisar comparativamente o processo de afirmação dos dois times, buscando compreender qual a importância do futebol, no processo de inserção e pertencimento dos italianos nas duas capitais mencionadas, e qual a contribuição dos Palestras para sedimentar a noção de identidade italiana, entre os membros da colônia, no período de 1914 a 1933. Durante a pesquisa pudemos perceber que vencer, para os Palestras Itália de São Paulo e de Minas Gerais, passou a ser uma forma de conseguir reunir e agrupar mais pessoas, que vieram da região onde se constituiu o território italiano após a unificação, em torno de um sentimento de pertencimento, reforçando desse modo a italianidade.
La construcción de la nación colombiana a la luz del modelo porfirista
Authors: Suárez Mayorga Adriana María
Published: April 2017

El artículo examina la influencia que tuvo el modelo de gobierno de Porfirio Díaz en la construcción de la nación colombiana desde 1884 hasta 1909. La recopilación, análisis e interpretación de fuentes primarias y secundarias, propia del método histórico, se realizó priorizando los libros y la prensa de la época, así como la bibliografía que se considera cardinal para aproximarse al tema.
El texto inicia con un recuento de la historia política del período, para luego enfatizar en la figura de Rafael Reyes, un confeso admirador del Porfiriato que fungió como presidente durante el Quinquenio (1904-1909). Tales reflexiones serán el sustrato para cuestionar la historiografía que lo ha reivindicado, equiparando su gestión a la del mandatario mexicano, como el modernizador del país. La conclusión principal del escrito es que, allende las similitudes, la dictadura no fructificó en nuestro medio porque suponía trasgredir tres principios inquebrantables: republicanismo, democracia e institucionalidad. 
Escatología y demonio en el discurso religioso de la Guadalajara decimonónica
Authors: Aceves Ávila Roberto
Published: April 2017

Desde fines del siglo XVIII la Iglesia católica configuró un discurso de orden escatológico en el que el demonio tuvo una participación importante, y que ayudó a introducir en la mentalidad de los fieles la idea de que la condición de crisis que enfrentaban la sociedad y la Iglesia no era una situación local, episódica y temporal, sino que era universal y permanente, producto de las crecientes condiciones de secularización y laicización y de una mayor presencia real del demonio en la historia. Este discurso se ejemplifica con el caso de la arquidiócesis de Guadalajara, México. La continuidad y el fortalecimiento de las creencias a lo largo del siglo XIX, puede ser explicado, entre otras razones, por la presencia creciente de este discurso escatológico que fomentó la devoción en los creyentes y su acercamiento a la religión, alentando la participación de los laicos dentro de las actividades de la Iglesia.

Construcción de un criptosistema usando las cajas de AES y una función biyectiva que va de los números naturales al conjunto de las permutaciones
Authors: Silva García Víctor Manuel , Lindig Bos Michael Klaus , Yáñez Márquez Cornelio , Flores Carapia Rolando , López Yáñez Itzamá
Published: April 2017

Dado un entero positivo n se construye un algoritmo que asocia a cada entero positivo m, con 0 ≤ m ≤ n!-1, una permutación en n-1 pasos. De hecho, el algoritmo define una función biyectiva que va del conjunto de los naturales al conjunto de las permutaciones. Además, para cualquier permutación πL definida en el conjunto de los números {0,1,…,L-1}, con L múltiplo de 3, ésta puede ser construida a partir de 3 permutaciones definidas en el conjunto de los números {0,1,…,2/3L-1}. Lo anterior permite definir un criptosistema de bloques de cadenas de 96 bits de longitud, en el cual se trabaja con números de 64! – 1 ≈ 1090 en lugar de 96! – 1 ≈ 10150 con lo que se reduce el tiempo y recursos de computo. También se muestra que el conjunto de las llaves crece de manerafactorial, de tal forma que el número de elementos de este conjunto llega a ser del orden de 10150 ≈ 2500 cuando se trabaja con cadenas de 96 bits. También, se ilustra con un ejemplo que utiliza la caja de Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) y un procedimiento de encriptamiento por bloques de 96 bits de texto claro. Las cajas de AES son propuestas porque son altamente no lineales [1]. Se muestra el diseño de una implementación en hardware de este criptosistema. Por último, se menciona que asociar a un entero una permutación permite considerar a las permutaciones como llaves.

A Comparison of the Academic Achievement of Home School and Public School Students
Authors: Boulter Lyn
Published: April 2017

This study added to existing data on home school effectiveness by comparing the academic achievement of 66 home school students with 66 of their grade-level peers in traditional public schools. The two groups of students were matched on gender, race, and grade level and were administered the Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery III. No significant difference in overall academic achievement was found between the groups.  Both home school and public school students had average or above average scores in reading, math, written language, and broad knowledge (science, social studies, and humanities).  The results further revealed a downward trend in math, reading and broad knowledge scores with increasing grade level. This trend suggests that home school and public school students experience a “developmental mismatch” between the changes that occur in adolescence and their school/home experiences, resulting in lower motivation, confidence, and academic performance.

A CONCEPÇÃO DE MENTE EM JOHN SEARLE
Authors: Cardoso Matêus Ramos
Published: April 2017

John Searle considera que a mente existe realmente; que é uma característica do cérebro; que os estados mentais são causados pelo cérebro e têm lugar nele; que a maioria dos estados mentais são intencionais intrinsecamente; que são subjetivos e qualitativos, o que dificulta o seu estudo de um ponto de vista externo.  Searle acredita que a consciência é um produto da evolução, produzida em cérebros altamente evoluídos, como uma vantagem evolutiva que possibilita a flexibilidade e criatividade nas ações. A mente ou a consciência  é uma característica exclusiva de alguns sistemas biológicos dotados de sistemas nervosos complexos.

Implementing the Tri-Council Policy on Ethical Research Involving Indigenous Peoples in Canada: So, How’s That Going in Mi’kma’ki?
Authors: Moore Carla , Castleden Heather E , Tirone Susan , Martin Debbie
Published: April 2017

The 2010 edition of the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans introduced a new chapter, titled "Research Involving the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples of Canada." The goal of our study was to explore how this chapter is being implemented in research involving Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia. Qualitative data from four groups—health researchers, research ethics board representatives, financial services administrators, and Mi’kmaw community health directors—revealed that while the chapter is useful in navigating this ethical space, there is room for improvement. The challenges they encountered were not insurmountable; with political will from the academy and with guidance from Indigenous community health and research leaders solutions to these barriers can be achieved.

Tereny mieszkaniowe w znacznej mierze kształtują krajobraz Lwowa. Zgodnie z ogólną tendencją koncentrycznego rozwoju miasta tereny mieszkaniowe drugiej połowy XX w. otoczyły pierścieniem obszar Lwowa XIV i z początku XX w. Ich formy przestrzenne zmieniały się w zależności od trendów panujących w tym czasie w architekturze i urbanistyce ZSRR, a potem Ukrainy: niewielkie kwartały, wielkie osiedla mieszkaniowe, odosobnione domy.

Telling Stories of Violence in Adult ESL Classrooms: Disrupting Safe Spaces
Authors: Waterhouse Monica
Published: April 2017

This article develops a complex understanding of safe space in relation to adult refugee learners’ oral literacy practice of telling stories of violent life experiences in English as a second language (ESL) classrooms. A rhizoanalytic approach brings theoretical and empirical elements into conversation to ask two questions. Can the exigencies of safe classroom spaces accommodate the telling/hearing of violent stories? What might be the pedagogical potential of such storytelling in ESL classrooms? Grounded in literature critiquing safe space discourses and theoretical work that views the telling of violent stories as ambivalent (destructive and productive), I argue that unproblematic conceptualizations of safe classrooms become impossible when refugees are involved. I present a data assemblage drawn from a qualitative study with two ESL teachers and four students. In a series of interview vignettes, the students describe their experiences of hearing their classmates’ stories of violence, highlighting the emotional impact of these experiences and their capacity to bring on new ways of thinking. This analysis reframes refugee storytellers as powerful, agentive forces in the ESL classroom and suggests that sharing stories is pedagogical in the sense that it affects and transforms learners. In closing, I discuss the practical and ethical implications of the research. Cet article développe une interprétation complexe du concept d’espace sûr relatif à une pratique li éraire orale selon laquelle des réfugiés adultes racontent des expériences de vie violentes dans leurs cours d’anglais langue seconde (ALS). Une approche « rhizoanalytique » réunit en conversation des éléments théoriques et empiriques pour poser deux questions: 1- Est-il possible de raconter et d’écouter des récits violents tout en respectant les exigences liées aux espaces surs en classe? et 2- Quel pourrait être le potentiel pédagogique de ces récits dans les cours d’ALS? Puisant dans la recherche qui critique le discours relatif aux espaces surs et dans le travail théorique qui perçoit comme ambivalent (destructif et productif) le fait de raconter des histoires violentes, j’affirme qu’il n’est pas possible de concevoir des espaces surs en classe qui ne posent aucun problème lorsque les élèves sont des réfugiés. Je présente des données tirées d’une étude qualitative impliquant deux enseignants d’ALS et quatre élèves. Par le biais d’une série de capsules d’entrevues, les élèves décrivent ce qu’ils ressentent en écoutant les récits de violence que racontent leurs camarades de classe et soulignent l’impact émotionnel de ces expériences et leur capacité d’entrainer de nouveaux modes de réflexion. Cette analyse restructure les conteurs réfugiés comme des forces puissantes et capables dans les cours d’ALS et propose que le partage de récits est pédagogique dans le sens qu’il exerce une influence sur les apprenants et les transforme. Je discute des conséquences pratiques et éthiques de cette recherche.

DESAFÍOS POSTMODERNOS DE LA OBRA LITERARIA DE JUAN BENET
Authors: Machín-Lucas Jorge
Published: April 2017

En este artículo se analiza una serie de cuestiones postmodernas nada o poco estudiadas en la obra del novelista y ensayista Juan Benet (1927-1993). Se estudia su interés por las minorías, su rechazo del valor del progreso, su uso globalizado del inglés, su tendencia hacia el fragmentarismo, el kitsch, el pastiche y el collage, su noción de distopía y de heterotopía, una deconstruida dicotomía entre razón y pasión, su rechazo de los sistemas teleológicos de conocimiento, su tendencia a mostrar una sexualidad sin amor puro, morbosa y violenta, y una violencia en general y hacia la mujer en particular.El artículo es original y procede de un proyecto de investigación acerca de la obra de Juan Benet ante la postmodernidad, lo irracional y lo intertextual.
LA ESPADA DE AGUA (TÓPICOS DEL ROMANTICISMO EN GARCÍA LORCA)
Authors: Campos Ocampo Melvin
Published: April 2017

Este artículo analiza el “Poema doble del lago Eden”, de Federico García Lorca, para rastrear en el texto diversos tópicos del romanticismo, tomando como punto de partida el libro Los hijos del limo, de Octavio Paz. Se plantea que el texto está estructurado en cuatro tiempos: un pasado idílico perdido, un presente moderno trágico, un futuro donde se desea retornar al pasado y un presente en el que se ha vuelto al pasado idílico. Además, se asocia ambiguamente el agua con la vida y la muerte y se culpa tácitamente a Dios de haber perdido el pasado idílico.
RESOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMAS MATEMÁTICOS EN LA EDUCACIÓN MEDIA COSTARRICENSE: UN ESTUDIO ACERCA DE LA ACTITUD
Authors: Meza-Cascante Gerardo , Suárez-Valdés-Ayala Zuleyka , Agüero - Calvo Evelyn
Published: April 2017

En este artículo se exponen los resultados de un estudio realizado sobre de la actitud de los estudiantes de la educación media oficial costarricense hacia la resolución de problemas matemáticos.  En dicho estudio, se indagó la existencia de diferencias entre hombres y mujeres y, además, se identificaron los niveles educativos con mejor actitud. La investigación se realizó con una muestra de 3271 estudiantes durante el año 2014.Los resultados muestran que aproximadamente un 20% de los estudiantes tiene una actitud baja o muy baja hacia la resolución de problemas matemáticos, lo cual es poco favorable, y que cerca del 50% tiene una actitud media, es decir, ni baja ni alta. También, los resultados revelan diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de actitud hacia la resolución de problemas matemáticos por sexo, donde los hombres presentan niveles mayores, aunque con un tamaño del efecto bajo.Los hallazgos sugieren entonces que no hay diferencias en el nivel de actitud entre los estudiantes de décimo y undécimo año, y que estos niveles evidencian niveles más bajos de actitud comparados con sétimo, octavo y noveno; lo anterior resulta preocupante por cuanto los niveles menos favorables de actitud se dan precisamente en los estudiantes más próximos a elegir carrera universitaria, en donde el componente matemático es vital para la selección de opciones en ciencia y tecnología
LA CUESTIÓN DE LAS SOCIEDADES POSAPOCALÍPTICAS Y EL MIEDO AL FIN DEL MUNDO: EL CASO DE THE WALKING DEAD
Authors: Espinoza-Rojas Johan , Méndez-Esquivel Josué E.
Published: April 2017

El artículo analiza las principales características de las sociedades posapocalípticas que emanan de los discursos provenientes del miedo fundamental del ser humano, es decir, la idea de su muerte y la búsqueda por conocer qué vendrá después. Para tal efecto, se analiza brevemente la serie televisiva The Walking Dead, la cual ofrece un posible escenario que refleja la dicotomía entre el miedo y la esperanza, provocados por la destrucción de la civilización.
Numerabilidad y cardinalidad de conjuntos
Authors: Rosales Ortega José
Published: April 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los elementos básicos de lo que se conoce como numerabilidad y no numerabilidad de conjuntos, y luego definir el concepto de cardinal. El desarrollo de este concepto de número cardinal de un conjuntos se hace por medio del uso de funciones inyectivas, sorbreyectivas, y del cálculo explícito de inversas. También se utiliza el teorema de Cantor-Bernstein-Schroeder para probar la equivalencia de ciertos subconjuntos de números reales, y se culmina probando que cualquier conjunto infinito se puede expresar como una unión disjunta de conjuntos infinitos, al utilizar los números primos.
