The Problem of Liberal Empire Reconsidered
Authors: Getachew Adom
Published: November 2019

This review essay situates Christopher Taylor’s Empire of Neglect: The West Indies in the Wake of British Liberalism (2018) in the context of the two-decade-long debate about the emergence of a liberal imperialism during the nineteenth century. Through an examination of the political economy of emancipation in the British West Indies, Taylor recasts the problem of liberal imperialism by decentering its justificatory discourses in the metropole to examine its practical effects in the colonies. In this turn, he provides an important and missing “materialization” of liberal empire that makes the deep connections between free trade and freeing slaves legible. The practical and theoretical coincidence of these nineteenth-century developments as well as Taylor’s reconstruction of a West Indian tradition of political economy provide a new way of conceptualizing colonial economic violence elaborated as the product of a neglectful empire. It is in this tradition of critiquing and resisting a neglectful empire that we find critical and normative resources to think beyond the terms of our own entrapments within the terms of liberal political economy.

Syntactic Ability of Girls With Fragile X Syndrome: Phonological Memory and Discourse Demands on Complex Sentence Use
Authors: Kover Sara T. , Abbeduto Leonard
Published: November 2019

This study was designed to establish the extent of delay in complex sentence use by females with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and to identify sources of variability among individuals. Females with FXS (n = 16; 10;2–15;7) and younger typically developing girls (n = 17; 4;1–8;11) were group-wise matched on nonverbal cognition and receptive syntax. Language samples (conversation and narration) yielded syntactic complexity in terms of mean length of C-unit (MLCU) and Developmental Level sentence coding (DLevel; Rosenberg & Abbeduto, 1987). Complex syntax was not weaker than developmental expectations; however, MLCU was lower than expected for age. Phonological memory and verbal working memory correlated with measures of syntactic complexity in narration. Discourse demands may play an important role in the language produced by females with FXS.
Reflection on education equity in Vietnam: Teachers' and students' voices in an English tourism programme
Authors: Hoang Le Giang Nguyen
Published: November 2019

In this article context, I recall my memories as a Vietnamese English for Tourism Purposes (ETP) programme teacher and a student who grappled with many inequities in the nationwide process of internationalization of higher education. The equity-related issues include the teacher's unpreparedness with the adoption of foreign curriculum, the teacher's lack of recognition of the local cultures, and the unfair treatment of the Vietnamese ETP interns in the workplace. I write this article in the role of a narrator, sharing my personal and professional experiences to give the status quo of ETP education in Vietnam and the various nuances that help unpack the realities of this situation. This reflective article intends to picture the inequities in Vietnamese higher education internationalization that both Vietnamese students and teachers encounter and to pave the road for further discussions to construct future scholarship and research.
Considerações sobre o Parto Humanizado e a Participação do Enfermeiro Obstetra / Considerations on Humanized Childbirth and Obstetrician Participation

Published: November 2019

A gravidez e o parto são situações marcantes na vida da mulher, que compõem um processo de mudança de um statusde mulher para a condição de mãe. São normalmente cercados por paradigmas culturais, bem como permeados por valores sociais, emocionais e afetivos. O parto humanizado é essencial para todas as mulheres, compreendendo um relacionamento e cuidado amplo com a gestante. O enfermeiro obstetra na humanização do parto, é direito de todas as parturientes e exigido por lei, na maioria das vezes atua diretamente com a gestante, desde o pré-natal, até o parto. O presente estudo tece considerações sobre o Parto Humanizado e  a participação do Enfermeiro Obstetra. Os resultados levaram a crer que o enfermeiro obstetra é um profissional treinado para examinar a gestante, verificar contrações, dilatações, bem como discernir alterações patológicas que necessite atendimento médico especializado. Neste sentido executa os cuidados necessários à mãe, orienta os cuidados que a mãe deve ter com a criança recém-nascida e com seu corpo, podendo atuar nas diversas etapas do parto, inclusive no planejamento da reabilitação da mãe e da criança. Conclusão: A participação de um Enfermeiro Obstetra na situação de parto, pode ser de grande contribuição para trazer maior conforto às mães, reforçando a cultura de uma atenção ao parto com maior participação da mulher. Ressalte-se que, a simples substituição da cesariana por um parto normal intervencionista, não necessariamente garante a humanização do parto. É importante uma mudança de paradigma, que envolva todos os agentes ativos na assistência ao parto. Este procedimento é  básico para uma verdadeira prática humanizada.

A violência contra a mulher é um problema de saúde pública identificada como a ação ou a omissão baseada no gênero que cause morte, lesão, sofrimento físico, sexual ou psicológico e dano moral ou patrimonial. Comumente, transtornos mentais comuns são notificados com maior frequência entre mulheres, estando, a violência, relacionada com grande parte desses casos. Este trabalho objetiva realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura quanto a influência da violência doméstica na saúde mental de mulheres. Artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2019 e indexados no banco de dados da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde(BVS) foram selecionados para este trabalho de revisão. A estratégia de busca utilizada foi a partir das palavras-chave: “Violência doméstica”, “Saúde mental”, “Mulheres” e “Brasil”. Os trabalhos foram submetidos a três testes de relevância compostos por perguntas objetivas que avaliavam e quantificavam as relações existentes entre os critérios de busca e os trabalhos encontrados, analisando a relação do artigo com os objetivos propostos pela pesquisa consoante o protocolo PRISMA para revisões sistemáticas. Destaca-se que uma mulher que não tem um apoio social significativo tende a sofrer mais violência doméstica. Também, o uso de força física e/ou constrangimento psicológico traz danos na saúde física e mental da mulher por negar busca por tratamento médico. Além disso, percebeu-se que, apesar da existência da Lei Maria da Penha, muitas mulheres não se sentem seguras em denunciar seu agressor, o que acaba por perpetuar uma relação de violência e desigualdade, e também, danos na saúde mental. Destacamos a necessidade de mais estudos e discussões nessa temática a fim de propor e efetuar uma alteração social que possa refutar um sistema tóxico à vida das mulheres.

Authors: Rodrigues Paula Luiza Nogueira , Santos Wemerson Pereira dos , Diniz Fernando Leonardo , Ferreira Lilian Abreu
Published: November 2019

O plasma rico em plaquetas é um concentrado autólogo de plaquetas e fatores de crescimento. Tem sido utilizado há décadas em várias especialidades da área da saúde e, recentemente, evidências para aplicações na área estética vêm sendo desenvolvidas. Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre o uso intradérmico do plasma rico em plaquetas para rejuvenescimento facial, baseado em evidências clínicas. Nove estudos foram incluídos na síntese interpretativa. Foram encontradas diferenças entre o método de obtenção do plasma, doses e o tamanho da amostra, que variou de 10 a 31 indivíduos, tornando os resultados com evidência pouco suficiente. Entretanto, a melhora na aparência da pele e das rugas foi estatisticamente significativa em todos os estudos, tanto após administrações únicas quanto após mais sessões de tratamento, o que demonstra a aplicação promissora do plasma rico em plaquetas, que pode ser integrado na prática estética para o rejuvenescimento facial.

Monitoring the dynamics of acute radiofrequency ablation lesion formation in thin-walled atria – a simultaneous optical and electrical mapping study
Authors: Pollnow Stefan , Schwaderlapp Gerald , Loewe Axel , Dössel Olaf
Published: November 2019

Background

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a common approach to treat cardiac arrhythmias. During this intervention, numerous strategies are applied to indirectly estimate lesion formation. However, the assessment of the spatial extent of these acute injuries needs to be improved in order to create well-defined and durable ablation lesions.

Methods

We investigated the electrophysiological characteristics of rat atrial myocardium during an ex vivo RFA procedure with fluorescence-optical and electrical mapping. By analyzing optical data, the temporal growth of punctiform ablation lesions was reconstructed after stepwise RFA sequences. Unipolar electrograms (EGMs) were simultaneously recorded by a multielectrode array (MEA) before and after each RFA sequence. Based on the optical results, we searched for electrical features to delineate these lesions from healthy myocardium.

Results

Several unipolar EGM parameters were monotonically decreasing when distances between the electrode and lesion boundary were smaller than 2 mm. The negative component of the unipolar EGM [negative peak amplitude (Aneg)] vanished for distances lesser than 0.4 mm to the lesion boundary. Median peak-to-peak amplitude (Vpp) was decreased by 75% compared to baseline.

Conclusion

Aneg and Vpp are excellent parameters to discriminate the growing lesion area from healthy myocardium. The experimental setup opens new opportunities to investigate EGM characteristics of more complex ablation lesions.
Calculators as Facilitators of Understanding Computational and Mathematical Contexts
Authors: Guncaga Jan , Korenova Lilla , Hvorecky Jozef
Published: November 2019

Learning is a complex phenomenon. Contemporary theories of education underline active participation of learners in their learning processes. One of the key arguments supporting this approach is the learner’s simultaneous and unconscious development of their ability of “learning to learn”. This ability belongs to the soft skills highly valued by employers today.

For Mathematics Education, it means that teachers have to go beyond making calculations and memorizing formulas. We have to teach the subject in its social context. When the students start understanding the relationship between real-life problems and the role of numbers and formulas for their solutions, their learning becomes a part of their tacit knowledge. Below we explain the theoretical background of our approach and provide examples of such activities.

Riassunto

Per due secoli e mezzo lo „Schottenkloster“ („monastero scozzese“) di Vienna, fondato nel 1155, appartenne all’unione degli „Schottenklöster“ irlandesi che era caratterizzata dall’unità etnica. Gli irlandesi, posti di fronte all’alternativa di accettare monaci benedettini nativi o di rinunciare all’abbazia, preferirono lasciare Vienna nel 1418. La storiografia posteriore ha attestato ai monaci irlandesi incapacità, comportamenti sbagliati e difetti di carattere – accuse ricorrenti sino ad oggi. L’articolo analizza, da una parte, il rimprovero di inadeguatezza linguistica, rivolto a loro, ed esplora in che misura gli irlandesi abbiano rappresentato, a Vienna, un corpo estraneo destinato all’insuccesso a causa della loro riluttanza al voler integrarsi e vivere insieme con gli altri; d’altra parte esamina il ruolo svolto da questi monaci „scozzesi“ nella vita religiosa, economica e politica della città e del paese, nonché i loro rapporti con la corte, la popolazione urbana e altre istituzioni religiose. Dopo l’analisi della (non-)affidabilità della fonte principale delle accuse, il „Memoriale reformacionis ad Scotos“, si tenta di spiegare i veri motivi che spinsero gli irlandesi ad abbandonare il monastero.
Orientalismo meridionale, patriottismo e musulmani nell’Italia medievale
Authors: Wolf Kordula
Published: November 2019

Michele Amaris „Storia dei Musulmani di Sicilia“ (11854–1872, 21933–1939) stellt seit mehreren Generationen ein zentrales Referenzwerk für die Erforschung der muslimischen Herrschaft und Präsenz im mittelalterlichen Sizilien und Unteritalien dar. In den mediävistischen Disziplinen hat eine eingehende Auseinandersetzung mit seinen zugrunde liegenden Prämissen jedoch erst in den vergangenen Jahren und mit Fokus auf Sizilien begonnen. Amaris spezifisch sizilianisches Geschichtsnarrativ wird im ersten Teil des Beitrags Ausgangspunkt für die Betrachtung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Orientalismusdiskursen und damaligen Debatten im Rahmen der italienischen Nationalstaatsbildung. Im zweiten Teil werden erstmals die besonderen Interpretationsansätze in Amaris Darstellung der Muslime und ihrer Aktivitäten auf dem italienischen Festland herausgearbeitet, um abschließend nach ihrem Fortwirken zu fragen. In dieser Kombination von Werkanalyse und forschungsgeschichtlichem Abriss kann deutlich gemacht werden, dass Amaris südlicher Orientalismus in seiner spezifisch sizilienzentrierten, patriotischen und eurozentrischen Form große Persistenz hatte und teils noch heute unhinterfragt fortgeschrieben wird.
Appealing Locally for Transnational Humanitarian Aid
Authors: Zavatti Francesco
Published: November 2019

Riassunto

Nel marzo 1847, Papa Pio IX emanò l’Enciclica „Praedecessores Nostros“, un appello rivolto ai prelati di tutto il mondo affinché organizzassero tre giorni di preghiere e di raccolta di offerte a favore dell’Irlanda colpita dalla carestia. Negli stati italiani, le parole del Papa furono comunicate ai fedeli dai vescovi, che emanarono appelli locali. L’invito era di seguire l’esempio del Papa, il cui contributo personale, risalente ai mesi precedenti, aveva avuto vasta eco sui quotidiani della penisola. Con l’ausilio di un corpus di venticinque appelli scritti dai vescovi sull’impulso dell’Enciclica, l’articolo analizza la riproduzione di un appello umanitario globale negli stati italiani. L’articolo contestualizza la distribuzione della „Praedecessores Nostros“ e degli appelli dei vescovi nella storia politica e culturale nei territori italiani e mappa l’impatto della censura su questa iniziativa caritatevole. In secondo luogo, un’analisi testuale mostra gli elementi narrativi, le risorse metadiscorsive, le parole chiave e i riferimenti biblici e patristici che costituivano la specifica economia morale attraverso la quale i vescovi invitavano a donare a livello locale.
Urban sanitation in Nigeria: the past, current and future status of access, policies and institutions
Authors: Ezeudu Obiora B.
Published: November 2019

Though rated among the largest economies in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria is currently grappling with enormous socio-economic challenges such as high poverty rate, power and water supply shortages, large-scale unemployment ratio, economic recession and underperforming agricultural sector. Judging by the scale of urgent political and economic importance, urban sanitation definitely ranks low among the government’s priorities. No wonder political slogans and manifestos of political parties feature provision of water supply while sanitation is conspicuously usually omitted. This is suggestive of the opinion that having not critically understood the status, challenges and opportunities associated with sanitation in the country’s urban areas might be partly responsible for this. Thus, the current work presents a detailed review of the past, current and future status of urban sanitation in Nigeria in terms of access coverage, policies, institutions and future challenges and opportunities. The past status was difficult to evaluate because of the absence of data and unclear definitions of the term ‘sanitation’. The current status shows among other findings that water supply issues receive domineering attention than sanitation, mainly due to merging together of discussions, policies and implementation of the two issues together. In cases where sanitation crops up in the agenda, rural areas are favored more than the urban areas. This pattern is also common in the literature. But the future of urban sanitation in Nigeria is double-edged depending on actions or inactions of the government and other stakeholders. The study further makes recommendations for – balanced and sustainable urban development planning, restructuring of land and housing policies and creation of enabling market environment that could trigger a viable sanitation industry – as the way forward.
Detecting the Fault Section in the Distribution Network with Distributed Generators Based on Optimal Placement of Smart Meters
Authors: Dashtdar Majid , Dashtdar Masoud
Published: November 2019

One of the most important issues in employing distribution networks is detecting the fault location in medium-voltage distribution feeders. Due to the vastness of distribution networks and growing distributed generation (DG) sources in this network, detection is difficult with the common methods. The aim of this paper is to present a method based on voltage distributed meters in a medium-voltage distribution network (by smart meters installed along the feeder) in order to detect the fault location in the presence of DG sources. Due to vastness of distribution network and cost of installing smart meters, it is not economically possible to install meters in all the Buses of the network. That’s why in this article, combination of genetic and locating algorithms and fault-based on voltage drop has been used to suggest a method to optimize the meter locations. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the method suggested, first we determine the optimal number and location of the meters and then we apply the fault that has been simulated in different Buses of the sample network, using PSCAD/EMTDC software. After results analysis, the fault location is estimated by MATLAB. Simulation results show that the fault locating method by optimal number of meters has good efficiency and accuracy in detecting faults in different spots and in different resistance ranges.

Through increased globalization and fast changing customer demands companies need to adapt their service management constantly. Business model approaches can provide a suitable base to comprehend the service management of a company. However, existing knowledge about the business model artefacts and the possibilities in service management is very diffuse. With this work, we want to shed light on the state-of-the-art of business model research with a specific focus on the different possibilities for a use in service management. We perform a systematic literature review and present a comprehensive overview of different existing business model artefacts including constructs, models, methods and instantiations. This can be possibly used to support service management and for future research this field. This demands requirements of suitable tool support from theory and practice both. It furthermore strengthens the relation between business modeling and service management. Overall, this research should strengthen the awareness of using the available business model capabilities for service management in order to create powerful management tools.
An Empirical Investigation into Personal Characteristics' Effect on Choosing Complaint Channels
Authors: Boepple Hannes , Göttling Janine , Papen Marie-Christin , Siems Florian U.
Published: November 2019

For companies, complaints are a valuable customer reaction to dissatisfaction. They enable the company to respond to customer issues to prevent them from changing supplier or spreading negative word-of-mouth communication. Previous research identified various influencing factors of complaint behaviour. However, it has been scarcely considered which aspects influence the selection of the complaint channel (e. g. telephone, social media). Therefore, a 1x2 experimental study (n = 244) was conducted. Results reveal effects of personal characteristics (aggressiveness, argumentativeness and social anxiety) on complaint channel choice. A moderating effect of failure severity was also partially found. From a managerial perspective, it is recommended to provide various complaint options. This would allow the disappointed consumer to choose an adequate complaint channel depending on his or her personality.

This article discusses the diversity in verbalization of the concept UNIVERSITY in the English educational discourse. The definition of the notions “concept”, “educational discourse” have been revealed through cognitive linguistics. The analysis is based on the most common variants of the English language – British and American. The research has been conducted on the basis of the educational discourse of the leading universities of the UK and the USA, namely, 5 leading universities of the UK and 5 universities of the USA. In order to study the diversity in verbalization of the concept UNIVERSITY a frame structure has been chosen. This structure fully reflects the lexica‑and‑semantic features of the concept under study. The article presents a schematic view of the concept UNIVERSITY, where its components has been highlighted: subframes, slots and subslots. When examined the concept UNIVERSITY, component and conceptual analysis has been used, so that the vocabulary definitions of the verbalizers of the concept under study have been compared. The analysis has shown that the lexical unit “university” is a concept that includes a whole range of characteristics and associations. Different lexical units presented in the educational discourse have been examined on the basis of English-speakers’ perception. It has been stated that lexical‑and‑semantic structure of the concept UNIVERSITY is quite a complex and developed one. Significant differences in the use of lexical units that actualize the concept UNIVERSITY has been considered. The reason for this difference are linguocultural as well as historical features of the development of the two variants of the English language.

Authors: Bilova A.G.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to one of the innovative, alternative methods in EFL teaching. Teaching oral speech with the help of role-play has been examined. The author puts particular emphasis on the close connection of role-play with communicative approach in EFL teaching.  It has been stressed that role-play heightens self-esteem, motivation, spontaneity, increases capacity for empathy, and lowers sensitivity to rejection. All these facilitate communication and provide an appropriate psycholinguistic climate for language learning. The author considers that role-play is a source of fresh ideas and relieves the monotony of education. Role-play is considered to be one of the types of drama activity. The experience of role-play putting into practice in home-reading classes has been described. The author comes to the conclusion that the use of role-play as drama activity in Teaching English as a Foreign Language can be used as an innovative technique in language teaching. Using drama to teach English results in real communication involving ideas, emotions, feelings and adaptability; in other words an opportunity to use language in operation which is absent in conventional language class.
THE PECULIARITIES OF UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION TERMINOLOGY WORD COMBINATIONS
Authors: Chernovaty L.M
Published: November 2019

The article presents the results of an original research into a hypothetical dependence of translation techniques selection on the term structure in the target text. The data was obtained following the analysis of translation techniques applied to render into Ukrainian 932 English terminological word combinations related to Teaching Foreign Languages and Applied Linguistics. It was established that word combinations constitute the most numerous category in the English terminology corpus selected for the analysis. It was also found that the share of two-component terminological word combinations considerably supersedes the share of lexical units with a larger amount of words. Adjective-Noun and Noun-Noun models turned out to be the most frequent models the two-component word combinations are based on in the said sphere. In the category of the two-component word combinations, the share of adjective-headed lexical units amounts to 52%, while the Adjective-Noun model accounts for half (49%) of them. The share of the noun-headed word combinations, where the Noun-Noun model predominates, is 37%. The rest of the models have a tendency to follow the adjective-headed word combinations in their behaviour. The analysis of the correlation of translation techniques selected to render into Ukrainian the Language Pedagogy English terminological word combinations allowed to assume that the choice of the techniques is dependent on their structure. The two-component adjective-headed word combinations tend to be translated by means of calque. However, in rendering the two-component noun-headed word combinations the share of calque diminishes by half. The increase of the amount of components in a word combination is accompanied by a sharp fall in the share of calque and the simultaneous rise in the proportion of transformations, dominated by transposition, often in combination with word addition or deletion. The research results do not give any ground to assume that the selection of translation techniques in rendering English terminological word combinations related to Teaching Foreign Languages and Applied Linguistics into Ukrainian has any specific features as compared to other specialized areas, because the said results are quite similar to those observed in other spheres of human activity. Like in those spheres, calquing is used if the principles of the word combination structure in English and Ukrainian coincide, while transformations occur in case of their discrepancies. Words are added into the target text to ensure a greater degree of rendering the meaning of the term from the source text, while the reason for the word deletion is the redundancy of the word combination in the source text, i.e. the possibility to render its meaning in the target text with fewer words. Transposition is applied to meet the target language norms, and the simultaneous use of several types of transformation is explained by the desire to comply with several requirements mentioned above.
