Mending Mother’s Kitchen
Authors: Haynes Naomi
Published: January 2018

This chapter focuses on a large party given for the wife of Pastor Mwanza, the leader of the congregation the Zulus had departed from. Like seed offerings, donations to this party sparked fears of choosing, since not everyone in the congregation was able to contribute the same amount toward the event. Those who gave the most were members of a subset of Pentecostal laity that called “supermembers.” These believers are both spiritually devout and materially wealthy, and as such they occupy a difficult position. Although their ambivalent status made the kitchen mending a risky event, these believers also played a central role in making it ritually successful.
The Shifting Viewpoint of the Outsider
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter focuses on the sculptures Rosso made during his Parisian years. Medardo Rosso created such extraordinarily advanced work as Après la visite (After the Visit); Impression de Boulevard, Femme à la voilette (Impression of a Boulevard, Woman with a Veil); and Madame X. Rosso registered in these sculptures an uneasiness about personal encounters that related to his own experience as an alienated artist working at the margins. His innovative artistic intuitions and itinerant self-fashioning would pave the way for the next generation of foreign artists in the city, breaking ground for younger sculptors such as the Romanian Constantin Brancusi and the Swiss Alberto Giacometti, who enjoyed successful careers in Paris after 1900 and made significant contributions to the international birth of modern sculpture.
Seeing and Being Seen
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This chapter introduces the modern strategies that Medardo Rosso developed to reach an audience during his Parisian years. He worked mostly on a small scale and cast in his studio rather than having his sculptures cast by commercial foundries. He also began to exploit the new middle-class taste for cheaper sculptural materials, casting works in wax and plaster and selling them as finished pieces. He capitalized on his experience in Italian foundries, where the cire perdue (lost wax) method was regularly employed for casting bronzes, to generate special excitement around his sculptures. Rosso attempted to personalize his relationship with buyers and circumvent the Parisian gallery system that was becoming the intermediary between avant-garde art and a new bourgeois audience.
Afterword
Authors: Hecker Sharon
Published: January 2018

This concluding chapter explains how Medardo Rosso's posthumous reputation is another story that remains to be told. Except for a handful of enlightened art historians, such as Carola Giedion-Welcker and H. W. Janson, who included Rosso in their histories of modern art, Rosso was forgotten by the world after his death. In 1963 he was suddenly propelled back onto the international art scene by Margaret Scolari Barr, who wrote the first English monograph on Rosso. Since the 1970s, Rosso has been fully reclaimed by Italy and reframed within the nineteenth-century Italian Scapigliatura movement, a tale of local origins that Rosso himself had denied. Today, due to the many international artists inspired by Rosso's work, he has become the only Italian sculptor of his time to be globalized.

Published: January 2018

This study aims to determine the factors influenced online job search among millennial stu-dents in Malaysia Technical University Network (MTUN). A total of 300 university students through on-oneself-reported questionnaires were collected from four MTUN namely Uni-versiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Univer-siti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) and Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP). This study performs descriptive analysis, reliability testing, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis by using IBM-SPSS software version 22. The results indicate that factors such as user-perception, social networking sites, and smartphone technology are significantly related to the online job search enhancement. Amongst these three factors, user perception appears to be the strongest predictor toward online job search enhancement. This study concludes that besides consideration of the identified factors which lead to the successful adoption of online job search, effortless and interactive online job search websites in creating a convenient and favorable job search environment would be able to increase the use of online job search.
Análisis de los asentamientos en los rellenos sanitarios La Pradera y Curva de Rodas
Authors: Yepes-García Jorge Andrés , Villarraga-Herrera Manuel Roberto
Published: January 2018

Se analizaron los registros de los piezómetros, puntos de control topográfico, aforo de caudales de lixiviados y estaciones meteorológicas instalados en los rellenos sanitarios Curva de Rodas y La Pradera. Se usaron las lecturas de los puntos de control topográfico para calibrar dos modelos extraídos de la literatura desarrollados para reproducir el comportamiento de los asentamientos en los residuos sólidos urbanos (RSU) a través del tiempo (modelo Exponencial [10] y modelo de Marques [15]). Luego se seleccionó el modelo de Marques [15], pues conceptualmente incorpora los asentamientos primarios y secundarios, tanto mecánicos como por descomposición. Para los parámetros de este modelo se generaron curvas de ajuste en función de la altura de la columna de los RSU, logrando estimar curvas de asentamiento que se aproximaron a los registros de los puntos de control, por lo cual las curvas de ajuste podrían ser aplicadas en rellenos de características similares.

Authors: Shuaib Taghreed
Published: January 2018

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Objective: The study aimed to examine validity evidence of in-training evaluation report (ITER) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH)'s pediatric residency program. Predictive validity of ITERs, to assess learner acquisitions of required competencies were studied. We used ITER scores to identify trainees with unprofessional conduct. Methods: One-year data for 35 residents in pediatric residency training program at KAUH were reviewed. Data were extracted from 360 ITERs completed by faculty members and specialists. ITERs' reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. ITERs scores were correlated with final Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) and written exams scores. Professionalism composite scores from ITERs were compared with scores of trainees reported for unprofessional attitude. Results: Specialists had high variability in scoring competencies with average standard deviations (SD) of 0.85 compared with 0.15 by faculty. Reliability of ITER scores using Cronbach's alpha was 0.895. Good correlation was observed between competencies ranging between 0.86 to 0.29. There was fair correlation between ITER composite scores and those of final OSCE and written exams. There was no correlation between professionalism scores and residents reported for unprofessional conduct. Conclusion ITER scores had good validity and reliability despite variability observed between faculty and specialist when scoring competencies. ITERs failed to detect trainees with unprofessional conduct.
OCCURRENCE OF SMALL HOMOLOGOUS AND COMPLEMENTARY FRAGMENTS IN HUMAN VIRUS GENOMES AND THEIR POSSIBLE ROLE
Authors: Kharchenko E. P.
Published: January 2018

With computer analysis occurrence of small homologous and complementary fragments (21 nucleotides in length) has been studied in genomes of 14 human viruses causing most dangerous infections. The sample includes viruses with (+) and (–) single stranded RNA and DNA-containing hepatitis A virus. Analysis of occurrence of homologous sequences has shown the existence two extreme situations. On the one hand, the same virus contains homologous sequences to almost all other viruses (for example, Ebola virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, and mumps virus), and numerous homologous sequences to the same other virus (especially in severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus to Dengue virus and in Ebola virus to poliovirus). On the other hand, there are rare occurrence and not numerous homologous sequences in genomes of other viruses (rubella virus, hepatitis A virus, and hepatitis B virus). Similar situation exists for occurrence of complementary sequences. Rubella virus, the genome of which has the high content of guanine and cytosine, has no complementary sequences to almost all other viruses. Most viruses have moderate level of occurrence for homologous and complementary sequences. Autocomplementary sequences are numerous in most viruses and one may suggest that the genome of single stranded RNA viruses has branched secondary structure. In addition to possible role in recombination among strains autocomplementary sequences could be regulators of translation rate of virus proteins and determine its optimal proportion in virion assembly with genome and mRNA folding. Occurrence of small homologous and complementary sequences in RNA- and DNA-containing viruses may be the result of multiple recombinations in the past and the present and determine their adaptation and variability. Recombination may take place in coinfection of human and/or common hosts. Inclusion of homologous and complementary sequences into genome could not only renew viruses but also serve as memory of existence of a competitor for host and means of counteraction against a competitor in coinfection being an analogy of the bacterial CRISPR/Cas system.

Published: January 2018

The problem of prophylaxis and treatment of the hospital-acquired infections caused remains actual and urgent and stubborn in modern medicine. Appearance of antimicrobial agents resistant and high virulent strains adapting also to desinfectants. Development of innovative hi-tech diagnostic methods and treatment at wide circulation of microorganisms with multiple antimicrobial agents resistance defines need of continuous improvement of epidemiological surveillance and microbiological monitoring of this group of infections. Aim of project: to carry out the epidemiological analysis of a case rate of hospital-acquired infections in Primorsky Krai and to determine the specific role of hospital-acquired infections which arose in surgical hospitals and units. Material and methods: In work there were used statistical forms, e.g. No. 2 «The information on infectious and parasitic diseases» in Primorsky Krai. A research method — the retrospective epidemiological analysis. Results of a research: In 2015 in Primorsky Krai there were registered 159 cases of hospitalacquired infections, the indicator of a case rate made 0.05 per 1000 treated patients. In comparison with 2014 the case rate decreased, rate of depression made — 28%. According to the statistical reporting the greatest number of cases of hospital-acquired infections was registered in obstetrical institutions — 60 cases (38% of all hospital-acquired infections), in children’s hospitals — 46 (29%) and in surgical hospitals and units — 33 (21%). Other hospital-acquired infections are registered in out-patient and polyclinic institutions and in institutions of a therapeutic profile. In structure of hospitalacquired infections in the territory of Primorsky Krai in 2015, as well as in previous years, acute intestinal infections dominated (35 cases — 22%) and it is purulent — septic infections at newborns (34 cases — 21%). Conclusions: In the territory of Primorsky Krai the hospital-acquired infections are often registered in obstetrical institutions, in children’s and surgical hospitals and units. The tendency to hospital-acquired infections morbidity growthin surgical hospitals and units, most likely, not owing to augmentation of cases of postoperative complications, and at the expense of other nosologies.
Ultra-long read sequencing protocol for RAD004 v3
Authors: Quick Josh
Published: January 2018

The intention of this protocol is to isolate high molecular weight DNA. This means you should avoid any pipetting without using a wide-bore or cut off pipette tip, vortexing, mixer shakers or anything else which generate a velocity gradient which may shear the DNA. In addition you should be very careful not to introduce nucleases by making up buffers with nuclease-free water. Avoid unnecessary heating and do not freeze, isolated DNA should be stored in the fridge, a good extraction will be stable for months. Currently tested on E. coliand human cell lines, however it is likely to work with many gram-negative bacteria and mammalian cells.
Algoritma Interpolasi Nearest-Neighbor untuk Pendeteksian Sampul Pulsa Oscilometri Menggunakan Mikrokontroler Berbiaya Rendah
Authors: Firdaus Firdaus
Published: January 2018

Non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices are widely available in the marketplace. Most of these devices use the oscillometric principle that store and analyze oscillometric waveforms during cuff deflation to obtain mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Those pressure values are determined from the oscillometric waveform envelope. Several methods to detect the envelope of oscillometric pulses utilize a complex algorithm that requires a large capacity memory and certainly difficult to process by a low memory capacity embedded system. A simple nearest-neighbor interpolation method is applied for oscillometric pulse envelope detection in non-invasive blood pressure measurement using microcontroller such ATmega328. The experiment yields 59 seconds average time to process the computation with 3.6% average percent error in blood pressure measurement.

RESUMO - O objetivo do presente trabalho foi selecionar parentais e híbridos de sorgo granífero para características agronômicas. Foram avaliados 184 cruzamentos oriundos de um dialelo parcial envolvendo 16 linhagens macho-estéreis e 12 restauradoras da fertilidade. Foram realizados 8 experimentos, com 23 híbridos cada e duas testemunhas adicionais (BRS 304 e BRS 330), em blocos casualizados, com duas repetições. Foram avaliadas as características rendimento de grãos, florescimento e altura de plantas. Os efeitos de CGC e CEC foram significativos para as três características, mostrando a importância dos efeitos aditivos e dominantes no controle destes caracteres. O quadrado médio para CGC foi superior ao da CEC. Todos os parentais que contribuíram para aumentar o rendimento de grãos também o fizeram para altura de plantas, exceto pelos parentais femininos CMSXS 1006 e CMSXS 1011, mostrando a dificuldade de dissociar estas duas características. Os híbridos mais produtivos apresentaram altura de plantas acima do recomendado para sorgo granífero, mesmo assim foi possível a seleção de cruzamentos que apresentaram rendimento de grãos acima da média, florescimento abaixo da média e altura dentro do padrão exigido. Dentre estes, pode-se destacar os híbridos CMSXS 1002 x CMSXS 1102, CMSXS 1006 x RTx2907, ATx ARG 1 x SC1155 e CMSXS 1008 x Tx2741.Palavras-chave: Sorghum bicolor, seleção de parentais, dialelo, hibridação, melhoramento de plantas. COMBINING ABILITY OF LINES AND SELECTION OF GRAIN SORGHUM HYBRIDS  ABSTRACT - The purpose of this work was to select grain sorghum lines and hybrids for growing as succession crop. Crosses, coming from a partial diallel involving 16 male sterile lines and 12 restorer lines, were evaluated. Eight experiments were carried out with 23 hybrids each and two additional checks (BRS 304 and BRS 330) in randomize complete blocks design, with two replications and plot of two lines of five meters long. Grain yield, days to flowering and plant height were evaluated. The effects of GCA and SCA were significant, showing the importance of both additive and dominant effects in the control of these traits. The mean square for GCA was well above the SCA, suggesting the importance of parental selection in sorghum. Only the lines CMSXS 1006 and CMSXS 1011 contributed to rise grain yield without increasing the plant height in the hybrids they compose. The most productive hybrids showed plants above 150 cm, however it was still possible to get crossings that had yield above average, cycle below average and plant height within the standard required for grain sorghum. Among these are the hybrids CMSXS 1002 x CMSXS 1102, CMSXS 1006 x RTx2907, ATX ARG 1 x SC1155 and CMSXS 1008 x Tx2741, with high yields and CEC.Keywords: Sorghum bicolor, parental selection, diallel, hybridization, crop breeding.
Defining Quality in Undergraduate Education
Authors: Bowers Alison W. , Ranganathan Shyam , Simmons Denise R.
Published: January 2018

Objectives: This research brief explores the literature addressing quality in undergraduate education to identify what previous research has said about quality and to offer future directions for research on quality in undergraduate education.

Method: We conducted a scoping review to provide a broad overview of existing research. Using targeted search terms in academic databases, we identified and reviewed relevant academic literature to develop emergent themes and implications for future research.

Results: The exploratory review of the literature revealed a range of thoughtful discussions and empirical studies attempting to define quality in undergraduate education. Many publications highlighted the importance of including different stakeholder perspectives and presented some of the varying perceptions of quality among different stakeholders.

Conclusions: While a number of researchers have explored and written about how to define quality in undergraduate education, there is not a general consensus regarding a definition of quality in undergraduate education. Past research offers a range of insights, models, and data to inform future research.

Implication for Theory and/or Practice: We provide four recommendations for future research to contribute to a high quality undergraduate educational experience. We suggest more comprehensive systematic reviews of the literature as a next step.

Aproximación físico-química a las alteraciones ácido base en la orina de ovinos con alcalosis hipoclorémica
Authors: Martínez Rodríguez David Alexander , Oliver Espinosa Olimpo Juan
Published: January 2018

La aproximación físico-química para determinar el pH urinario es relativamente nueva y no se ha usado en condiciones patológicas en animales. En el presente artículo, el objetivo principal fue demostrar la validez de esta teoría en la orina de ovinos con alcalosis metabólica hipoclorémica. Se realizó un estudio de tipo experimental para la inducción de la alcalosis metabólica hipoclorémica en ovinos. Durante el periodo de control y de inducción se determinaron en la orina: pH calculado, pH medido, excreción neta de ácido, amonio y diferencia de iones fuertes en la orina (SID) cada 24 h hasta el desarrollo de la aciduria paradójica o el deterioro físico de los sujetos. Se determinó la correlación de Pearson (r) entre el pH medido y calculado a partir del modelo del SID en la orina. Se observó una correlación alta entre el pH urinario medido y el calculado usando el SID calculado con base en la excreción neta de ácido (r = 0,874). La correlación entre SID calculado y pH en orina fue significativa (r = 0,839). Sin embargo, la correlación entre el SID y el pH medido de la orina fue moderada (r = 0,588). Se concluye que existe una alta correlación entre el pH calculado a partir del SID usando la excreción neta de ácido y el pH medido en la orina de ovinos con alcalosis metabólica hipoclorémica. Esto indica que el pH urinario depende fuertemente del SID y, por lo tanto, la reducción en el pH puede ser explicada por la disminución del SID.

Published: January 2018

Eremophilus mutisii es una especie nativa, endémica, del altiplano central colombiano, donde tiene un carácter emblemático y con características que permiten inferir algún potencial piscícola. Con el objetivo de avanzar en el conocimiento sobre aspectos relacionados con su reproducción, se adelantó un seguimiento del desarrollo embrionario bajo condiciones controladas de laboratorio. Para ello, ejemplares silvestres y sexualmente maduros fueron inducidos con extracto de hipófisis de carpa, en dosis totales de 5,5 mg kg–1 en hembras y 4,0 mg kg–1 en machos, siguiendo protocolos con respuesta demostrada. La fertilización se realizó en seco y la incubación se adelantó en frascos de vidrio de 3,6 L a 16,15 ± 1,1 °C. Se colectaron muestras cada hora desde ovocélula hasta eclosión, y se establecieron los estadios por medio de observación en estereoscopio y con una descripción también apoyada con material fotográfico. Se trata de huevos esféricos, adherentes, con 1052 ± 60,2 μm de diámetro, telolecíticos, y con segmentación meroblástica. Para los estadios de cigoto, clivajes, blastomeración, blástula, gástrula, organogénesis y eclosión, la descripción se realiza en 20 momentos clave, referenciados temporalmente en horas posfertilización (HPF), grados hora (grados h–1) y grados día (grados d–1). Comparado con otros bagres nativos, el periodo de desarrollo se considera extenso, con eclosión completa a las 100 HPF (1615 grados h–1; 387,6 grados d–1). Las larvas nacen con una longitud total de 3148 ± 176 μm, con un saco vitelino de forma redondeada con un diámetro medio de 0,9 ± 0,08 mm y un volumen de 0,382 mm3.

Violação no Casamento Enquanto Forma do Crime de Violência Doméstica
Authors: Sousa Isa Filipa António de
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho versa sobre uma das formas de violência sobre a mulher na constância do casamento que raramente é valorizado pela sociedade em geral e pelos tribunais em particular: a violação da cônjuge mulher. Na verdade, o desrespeito pela autodeterminação sexual, da liberdade e da igualdade da mulher no contexto conjugal tem sido menosprezada, pois a sociedade entende o “débito conjugal” como um dos deveres da mulher enquanto “esposa”, não fazendo sentido que a recusa em ter relações sexuais com o seu marido e a imposição da vontade deste sobre aquela seja configurado como um crime de violação. Discordamos em absoluto deste entendimento e oferecemos várias soluções e medidas de proteção da mulher-vítima.

Durante o tempo de espera da autorização fizemos pesquisa in loco nos arquivos, e aplicamos entrevistas semi diretas aos servidores que trabalham nesse órgão. As conclusões destacam que a Lei de Acesso à Informação ainda é um desafio a ser enfrentado pela autarquia.
A Proteção do Meio Ambiente, a Ponderação de Valores e o Código Florestal
Authors: Wambier Luiz Rodrigues
Published: January 2018

O tratamento à gestão ambiental dado pelo Código Florestal Brasileiro de 2012 tem sido alvo de inúmeras discussões entre estudiosos e profissionais do direito. São vários os dispositivos legais desse código que estão sendo objeto de controle de constitucionalidade pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. São discussões de interesse global, já que além de ser um dos maiores exportadores de alimentos do mundo – atividade essa que certamente sofrerá impacto direto caso se conclua pela inconstitucionalidade -, o Brasil engloba grande parte da Floresta Amazônica. O presente estudo se propôs à análise da atividade do legislador no equacionamento de interesses polarizados e, muito especialmente, na compatibilização entre direitos e garantias fundamentais envolvidos, nomeadamente a segurança jurídica, o meio ambiente sadio e ecologicamente equilibrado e o desenvolvimento social e econômico nacional.
Mandado de Injunção: Origens, Jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal e Perspectivas a Partir da Lei 13.300 de 2016

Published: January 2018

A publicação da Lei 13.300, de 23 de junho de 2016, que disciplina o processo e o julgamento dos mandados de injunção individual e coletivo, ainda que tardiamente, pretendeu por fim a uma série de questões sobre as quais já havia se debruçado doutrina e jurisprudência. Afinal, o instituto já estava entre os brasileiros desde 1988 e vinha sendo utilizado com muita frequência, dando ensejo a soluções muito sensíveis especialmente no que concerne ao princípio da separação dos poderes e ao chamado ativismo judicial. Embora tenha sido criado para permitir a realização de direitos fundamentais cuja implementação estaria a depender de atividade normativa posterior e que poderiam ser sonegados pelos Poderes Constituídos em razão da omissão legislativa ou da falta do cumprimento dos comandos constitucionais nos casos em que a iniciativa do processo legislativo dependia de manifestação do Poder Executivo, a jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal relutou em atribuir ao referido remédio constitucional os efeitos concretos que ele sempre guardou em si. Porém, a novel legislação parece pretender um retrocesso neste tema. Estes e outros aspectos do polêmico instituto serão objeto deste pequeno escrito.

Published: January 2018

O presente artigo noticia resultados parciais de uma pesquisa exploratória que vem sendo realizada no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, PPGD-UNESA/RJ dentro do grupo de pesquisa “Observatório do Acesso à Justiça na Ibero América” (OAJI) e tem como objetivo analisar criticamente o procedimento de internalização dos Tratados Internacionais de Direitos Humanos no ordenamento jurídico-constitucional brasileiro segundo o procedimento estabelecido pela Emenda Constitucional nº 45 particularmente no que tange à sua efetividade na integração destes instrumentos de Direitos Humanos em uma “hierarquia normativa forte” como denominam-se as Emendas Constitucionais. Este trabalho investiga a hipótese que o procedimento da Emenda Constitucional nº 45, parágrafo 3º, tem prejudicado a incorporação dos Tratados Internacionais de Direitos Humanos e para testar tal proposição vale-se de metodologia qualitativa apoiada na revisão bibliográfica, aliada à análise indutiva, partindo da observação de fatos concretos – tais como o tratamento dado a Convenção para Proteção dos Portadores de Deficiência (2004) e a Convenção interamericana de Proteção dos direitos das Pessoas Idosas (2015) – em direção a reflexões sobre caminhos para uma maior eficácia da proteção de Direitos Humanos protegidos pela ratificação de Tratados Internacionais.
Protagonismo Infantojuvenil: uma Necessária Dimensão da Dignidade da Criança e do Adolescente
Authors: Silva Bruno Rezende Ferreira da , Freitas Maria Carolina Rodrigues , Iorio Filho Rafael Mario
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo questionar a efetivação de todas as dimensões da dignidade da criança e do adolescente em face das práticas sociais moduladoras do princípio do melhor interesse dos menores. Abordaremos o modo como a criança e o adolescente são percebidos em nossa sociedade, a constituição destes agentes sociais enquanto sujeitos de direito e, portanto, detentores de uma dignidade que deve ser respeitada pelos demais agentes sociais. Outrossim, apresentaremos as dimensões da dignidade, a definição de melhor interesse das crianças e adolescente e o uso deste principio para, em razão da nossa percepção destes agentes sociais, não garantir a plenitude da dignidade para estes sujeitos. Concluiu-se através de nossa pesquisa que o princípio do melhor interesse das crianças e adolescentes é mitigado pela compreensão adultocêntrica sobre a criança e sua participação, o que impede a plena garantia de sua dignidade.
Problemas do ensino da literatura: do perigo ao voo possível
Authors: Agazzi Giselle Larizzatti
Published: January 2018

Os problemas sobre a formação do leitor de textos literários são inúmeros e têm se adensado nos últimos anos. A reflexão proposta sobre esse amplo e complexo panorama da educação literária se dá em torno das polêmicas que acompanharam a publicação dos documentos oficiais - PCN, PCNEM e Orientações Curriculares Nacionais -, expressas em “Literatura”, de Enid Yatsuda Frederico e Haquira Osakabe (2004). A discussão percorre alguns dos questionamentos de Rildo Cosson (2009), Graça Paulino (2002) e Todorov (2009), quando se debruçam sobre as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas nas últimas décadas, fazendo reverberar vozes e letras tão antigas como as da professora Lígia Chiappini, ao publicar já em 1983 sua Invasão da catedral: literatura e ensino em debate. A perspectiva assumida é a de que há um progressivo afastamento entre o público e as obras e que ele acontece, ironicamente, por meio das relações entre literatura e ensino. Vê-se nos espaços escolares, acadêmicos a preocupação com a história e as correntes literárias, a biografia dos escritores, as fortunas críticas e, não, com a leitura dos textos literários.  Nesse contexto, a literatura, para falar com Todorov (2009), fica em perigo, porque colocada dentro de um ciclo vicioso: os professores vivenciam cada vez menos o texto literário e, com isso, suas práticas são cada vez menos empenhadas na formação do leitor literário. O empobrecimento na educação literária revela-se como um impasse de difícil superação, tratado aqui como um eixo em torno do qual se desdobram os problemas do ensino da literatura. Trata-se da formação inicial e continuada docente, que pouco avançou no que diz respeito à formação dos professores como leitores literários.  A aposta é a de que professores com experiências literárias vivas transformam gradativamente as práticas pedagógicas assumidas no cotidiano escolar.

Methodology of a spatial approach in library science: prevalence and specificity of applying
Authors: Berestova T. F. , Mikhailova A. V.
Published: January 2018

Space is one of the basic categories of philosophy having extensive operational and analytical capabilities. Nowadays the specificity of different types of spaces is studied, and the methodology of a spatial approach has become recognized as an effective method of knowledge in various sciences: philosophy, philology, pedagogics and psychology, political science, sociology, art history and cultural studies, economics and law, technical and natural sciences (physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry). As a special tool, the spatial approach is included in the scientific-educational store of documentary communication cycle’s sciences. To proof this statement authors examined an array of dissertations on library science and bibliography. A vector of cognitive activity, formed in librarian works of last 20-30 years, was directed on researching a spatial-information subject, as well as related to an «information space» phenomenon. However, many scientists, focusing on spatial terminology, have not deepened theoretical aspects and set tasks to detect an entity and structure of the information space without trying to offer its definition. Nevertheless, after representation theoretical and methodological foundations for studying information space scientists by T. F. Berestova in her doctoral dissertation researches began operating spatial terminology more confidently. Works’ analysis in library science allowed concluding that studying information or any other space researchers always focus their attention on investigating the interaction of the subject, which simultaneously acts as a part and as a creator of the space with other subjects and objects within it. This interaction provides course of integrative processes between subjects. The library science has already studied some form of interaction, identified a number of areas of integration processes, which are involved and initiated by the library. Thus, the analysis of works revealing the spatial issues enabled to summarize the methodology and to identify some common theoretical and methodological positions, which should be relied while developing a new epistemological tool in library science: methodology of the spatial approach. This article offers recommendations to use the spatial approach in library science and bibliographic researches.
Estimating Full Regional Skeletal Muscle Fibre Orientation from B-Mode Ultrasound Images Using Convolutional, Residual, and Deconvolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Cunnigham Ryan , Sánchez María B , May Greg , Loram Ian
Published: January 2018

Direct measurement of strain within muscle is important for understanding muscle function in health and disease. Current technology (kinematics, dynamometry, electromyography) provides limited ability to measure strain within muscle. Regional fiber orientation and length are related with active/passive strain within muscle. Currently, ultrasound imaging provides the only non-invasive means of observing regional fiber orientation within muscle during dynamic tasks. Previous attempts to automatically estimate fiber orientation from ultrasound are not adequate, often requiring manual region selection, feature engineering, providing low-resolution estimations (one angle per muscle), and deep muscles are often not attempted. Here, we propose deconvolutional neural networks (DCNN) for estimating fiber orientation at the pixel-level. Dynamic ultrasound images sequences of the calf muscles were acquired (25 Hz) from 8 healthy volunteers (4 male, ages: 25–36, median 30). A combination of expert annotation and interpolation/extrapolation provided labels of regional fiber orientation for each image. We then trained DCNNs both with and without dropout using leave one out cross-validation. Our results demonstrated robust estimation of regional fiber orientation with approximately 3° error, which was an improvement on previous methods. The methods presented here provide new potential to study muscle in disease and health.

Published: January 2018

In the context of climate change in West Africa characterized by a reduction of precipitation, this study was conducted to evaluate the impact of climate change on water resources from now to the end of the 21st century in the transboundary watershed of the Sassandra River shared by Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire. Historical and future climate (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios) data were projected with the model. The Abdus Salam ICTP RegCM4 was used. The hydrological modeling of the river basin was carried out with the conceptual hydrological model, GR2M. This model is a monthly time steps model that allows the assessment of the discharge of the Sassandra River for each climate scenario according to the 2030 (2021–2040), 2050 (2041–2060), 2070 (2061–2080), and 2090 (2081–2100) horizons. The results showed a reduction of the annual discharge when compared to the baseline (1961–1980). For the RCP 4.5, the observed values went from –1.2% in 2030 to –2.3% in 2070 and rose to –2.1% in 2090. Concerning the RCP 8.5, we saw a variation from –4.2% to –7.9% in the 2030 and 2090 horizons, respectively. With the general decrease of rainfall in West Africa, it is appropriate to assess the impact on water resources on the largest rivers (Niger, Gambia, and Senegal) that irrigate the Sahelo-Saharian zone.
