Estrada de Rodagem São Paulo-Belo Horizonte: fluxos que constroem um novo tempo social em “A volta do Marido Pródigo” de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Rezende Ana Maria Nogueira , Castro Maria Luiza Almeida Cunha de
Published: October 2018

Ao longo do período de colonização e até o início do século XX na região das minas no Brasil, houve uma dupla articulação de fluxos, que gerou especificidades na organização econômica e social: a ligação com as vias inter-regionais movimentou uma economia exportadora, enquanto, na região, organizou-se uma economia de abastecimento, por meio de uma rede de caminhos regionais e vicinais. O conto de Guimarães Rosa descreve o momento da transição, no qual esta estrutura duplamente articulada estava prestes a ser rompida: a construção da estrada entre São Paulo e Belo Horizonte significa, não apenas a ligação entre os dois importantes centros, mas anuncia, por onde passa, uma transformação no sertão e sua incorporação aos fluxos inter e extra regionais, dentro de uma dinâmica de globalização.

A figura da Virgem Maria sob a ótica das Cartas dogmáticas e representações culturais.
Authors: Rodrigues João Paulo Pacheco
Published: October 2018

Nos últimos séculos, o papel da Virgem Maria dentro da Igreja Católica passou por uma mudança paulatina substancial. De uma vaga referencia evangélica a um personagem eximiamente familiar e divino de modo equivalente ao seu filho, Nossa Senhora vem recebendo tributos e homenagens ao seu nome na praticamente na mesma proporção que seu filho. Nesse artigo problematizaremos essa transformação da Imaculada, sob dois prismas: documentos e cartas dogmáticas e representações iconográficas e iconológicas da Virgem.

Mulher e História: Da invisibilidade à sujeito de análise
Authors: Lunz Leandro Da Silva
Published: October 2018

A narrativa histórica que nos tem sido apresentada na cultura ocidental representa um modelo antropocêntrico do fazer histórico e consequentemente relegou às mulheres um papel de invisibilidade e silenciamento. A figura feminina foi construída como um modelo de submissão e impotência, sendo tratada como um objeto que deveria atuar no campus do privado. Refletir sobre os caminhos da historiografia até a consolidação de uma História das Mulheres implica em reconhecê-las como sujeitos da História e desconstruir a visão que privilegia a masculinidade como o modelo ideal a ser reverenciado. O desenvolvimento da nova história cultural aliado ao feminismo e novos paradigmas científicos contribuíram para a inserção das mulheres no estudo da História como sujeito que participou ativamente da construção histórica.

SLAVONICISMS AS MARKERS OF THANATOLOGICAL MOTIVES IN P. A. VYAZEMSKY’S LATE LYRICS
Authors: Borodina Ekaterina Yur’evna
Published: October 2018

The article considers the thanatological motives of P. A. Vyazemsky’s late lyrics on the basis of his three poems of 1854, initiating the final stage of creativity. The way of the analysis of the thanatological motive complex is to reveal the sacred-religious meanings of Slavonicisms that are both obvious and non-obvious for modern linguistic consciousness and that act as the key words of the poems. Semantic Slavonicisms are interpreted by the author as Church Slavonic - Russian polysemantic words or homonyms, representing respectively the secular and sacred-religious components of Vyazemsky’s poetic consciousness. The features of the Orthodox world outlook in Vyazemsky’s late works are reconstructed on the basis of linguistic hermeneutics technologies.

EMPRESS EUDOXIA’S POETRY AND “THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES”
Authors: Aleksandrova Tat'yana L'vovna
Published: October 2018

The article for the first time analyzes the reception of the monument of the Hebrew-Christian literature, “The Sibylline Oracles”, in Empress Eudoxia’s poetry (the V century A.D.). The author concludes that the traces of “The Sibylline Oracles” influence are visible in the poem “The Life of Cyprian and Justina” at the level of the epic formula borrowing. The metric peculiarities of the poem (prevalence of male caesura) are seemingly conditioned by “The Sibylline Oracles” influence. In other Eudoxia’s work, Homeric Cento (the first version), the prologue is a paraphrase of the prologue to “The Sibylline Oracles”. Eudoxia’s appeal to this monument is possibly motivated by the role of a “Christian prophetess”, which she adopted in her poetry.
ONYMS FUNCTIONING IN WORD-FORMATION PROCESSES OF THE MODERN GERMAN LANGUAGE AND THEIR PLAYING NATURE
Authors: Kosova Ol’ga Aleksandrovna , Aleksandrova Larisa Gennad’evna
Published: October 2018

The article deals with onyms functioning in the word-formation processes of the modern German spoken language. The inventory of the onomastic material selected by the method of continuous sampling from three modern German dictionaries allows us to conclude that onyms participate in all the word-forming processes, without exception, - word-building, conversion from one part of speech to another, suffixation, prefixation, contamination and deonymization. The most numerous group consists of deonyms, which contain the proper names of well-known politicians. It confirms the view that deonymization is a socially and culturally determined word-formation model.

Authors: Alvear Sandra A.
Published: October 2018

The current study analyzes the relationship between elementary school reading achievement and participation in the following language acquisition programs—transitional bilingual, developmental, two-way bilingual immersion, and English immersion. With a focus on the achievement of Spanish-dominant English learners, the study uses multilevel models to examine Spanish and English reading outcomes for evidence of an “additive advantage” associated with programs that pursue full proficiency in students’ home language and English. Set in a large urban school district in Texas, this research finds that participants in the most additive program, two-way, earned the highest Grade 5 English reading performance. In contrast, students in transitional and two-way programs demonstrated similar Spanish reading growth, and developmental students had significantly slower growth than transitional students.

Authors: Amaral Olavo Bohrer , Neves Kleber , Wasilewska-Sampaio Ana Paula , Carneiro Clarissa França Dias
Published: October 2018

With concerns over research reproducibility on the rise, systematic replications of published science have become an important tool to estimate the replicability of findings in specific areas. Nevertheless, such initiatives are still uncommon in biomedical science, and have never been performed at a national level. The Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative is a multicenter, systematic effort to assess the reproducibility of the country’s biomedical research by replicating between 60 and 100 experiments from Brazilian life sciences articles. The project will focus on a set of common laboratory methods, performing each experiment in multiple institutions across the country, with the reproducibility of published findings analyzed in the light of interlaboratory variability. The results, due in 2021, will allow us not only to estimate the reproducibility of Brazilian biomedical science, but also to investigate if there are aspects of the published literature that can be used to predict it.
A Caveat on the Savage-Dickey Density Ratio: The Case of Computing Bayes Factors for Regression Parameters
Authors: Heck Daniel W.
Published: October 2018

The Savage-Dickey density ratio is a simple method for computing the Bayes factor for an equality constraint on one or more parameters of a statistical model. In regression analysis, this includes the important scenario of testing whether one or more of the covariates have an effect on the dependent variable. However, the Savage-Dickey ratio only provides the correct Bayes factor if the prior distribution of the nuisance parameters under the nested model is identical to the conditional prior under the full model given the equality constraint. This condition is violated for multiple regression models with a Jeffreys-Zellner-Siow (JZS) prior, which is often used as a default prior in psychology. Besides linear regression models, the limitation of the Savage-Dickey ratio is especially relevant when analytical solutions for the Bayes factor are not available. This is the case for generalized linear models, nonlinear models, or cognitive process models with regression extensions. As a remedy, the correct Bayes factor can be computed using a generalized version of the Savage-Dickey density ratio.

Authors: Ruiter Robert A.C. , Crutzen Rik
Published: October 2018

Psychology is not only a basic behavioral science but also an applied discipline that is used to solve societal problems. In a problem-driven context, the search for existing literature, the correct application of appropriate theories, and the collection of additional research data are basic tools essential for the systematic development of any intervention. These ‘Core Processes’ can be used in different phases/steps of intervention planning and within different planning frameworks. However, in practice intervention planners often do not systematically follow all necessary steps. In this paper, ‘Core Processes’ are presented in order to provide empirical and theoretical guidance to planners from problem definition to problem solution. Specific emphasis is put on finding theories that are potentially useful within the parameters that the theory describes using a combination of approaches (i.e., the topic, concept and general theories approaches).

In the present study of eco physiological effects of lead nitrate was observed by taking a local cultivated cereal crop Vigna mungo (L). The germination data showed that there is a negative impact of concentration of lead nitrate on the germination of seeds. There is decrease in seed germination at higher concentration in comparison to control. Root and shoot growth of seedling was effected when exposed to high concentration of lead nitrate. Roots were more affected and much reduced than shoots. Morphologically they look different from normal roots by their size and shapes. Effect of different concentration of lead nitrate was visible in different pigment concentration of leaves. Lead toxicity inhibits chlorophyll formation which visually showed in degeneration of green pigments in shoots exposed to different concentration of lead nitrate. With the increase in concentration of the toxicant, the exposed seedlings showed a decline in chl-a, chl-b, total chl, carotenoid and pheophytin content in shoots. This was a clear indication that the fall in the growth rate, pigment content had direct impact on photosynthesis. Conclusively, our results show that lead at higher concentration decreases seed germination, chl-a, chl-b, total chl, carotenoid and pheophytin contents in the mung seedlings.Int. J. Appl. Sci.

Authors: Chaudahary R.K. , Devkota A.
Published: October 2018

The aim of this research was to analyze physical and chemical characteristics of low altitude lake of Jagadishpur Reservoir, a Ramsar site in central Nepal lies about 197 m altitude. The reservoir water was studied for three seasons (rainy, winter and summer) to compare the changes in the parameters. Water quality in reservoir was found less favorable to aquatic organisms, with low pH and transparency, low dissolved oxygen (DO), and high nutrient concentrations (Nitrogen). The reservoir was found eutrophic in nature by nitrogen concentration and transparency criteria. The findings created a database for present status of low land water reservoir of Nepal, which can be used for the management of lakes as well as to study the impact on water quality.This study provided useful information for decision makers aimed to the conservation and sustainable management of the reservoir.Int.

Individualizing hyperosmolar therapy for management of intracranial hypertension
Authors: Shrestha Gentle Sunder
Published: October 2018

Intracranial hypertension is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with brain injury. If not appropriately treated, it can precipitate brain ischemia, brain herniation and death. Hyperosmolar therapy remains the main armamentarium for management of raised intracranial pressure, especially in patients with diffuse lesions and where surgical options are not applicable. Substantial amount of studies have tried to explore the superiority of hypertonic saline or mannitol over the other. Due to significant heterogeneity in the pathophysiology of patients, variation in treatment threshold, method of drug administration and drug concentration, substantial evidence is lacking to support one agent over other. Hypertonic saline may be more effective than mannitol for lowering raised intracranial pressure. Well designed novel trials need to try to find the answer. Clinical, pathophysiological and biochemical data should be incorporated at bedside while individualizing selection of hyperosmolar therapy, with the aim to improve outcome and minimize harm.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists of NepalVol. 4, No. 2, 2017, Page: 54-56
A comparative study of bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block for postoperative analgesia in lower segment cesarean section
Authors: Poudel Anjali , Dutta Prashant Kumar
Published: October 2018

Background: Modern techniques incorporate regional anesthesia in pain management and it is the best and safest technique. It avoids the side effects that remain with the traditional use of opioids. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block can provide a satisfactory postoperative analgesia in parturients with pfannenstiel incision thereby reducing postoperative opioid consumption.Objective: To compare opioid consumption and pain relief postoperatively with ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block in patients undergoing lower segment cesarean section.Methods: It is a hospital based comparative study done in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur, Banke in a period of one year. Total of sixty patients, thirty in each were randomly allocated into the two groups. Group B received bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block by landmark technique with 20ml of 0.5% bupivacaine; 10ml in each side. Group NS received ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block with 20ml of 0.9% normal saline. In postoperative period blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, numerical rating scale score at different allocated duration, total dose of tramadol consumption and time to first dose of tramadol were recorded.Results: The total postoperative tramadol consumption in the first 24hr postoperatively was significantly less in group B (125 ± 34.11mg) than in group NS (205 ±37.93mg). The mean effective duration of analgesia measured from the time of onset of spinal blockade to the time of request for tramadol was 264 ±78.27 minutes in group B and 178.17±30.61minutes in group NS, which was statistically significant and also numerical rating scale scores were low at all points postoperatively in group B.Conclusion: Bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block significantly lowers the consumption of tramadol and also provides adequate postoperative pain relief.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists of NepalVol. 4, No. 2, 2017, page: 81-86
Scaling the Interactive Dot Map
Authors: Walker Kyle E.
Published: October 2018

Dot maps are effective for cartographic visualization of categorical data. Recent advances in Web mapping technology have facilitated the development of interactive dot maps, in which users can pan and zoom to view data distributions for different areas. This interactivity, however, introduces multiple cartographic challenges, as design decisions that are appropriate at large scales can lead to clutter and illegibility at small scales. This article considers these challenges in the context of an applied example – an interactive dot map of educational attainment in the United States. It covers the methodology of the map’s creation as well as how it addresses the cartographic challenges of interactive dot mapping.
The Geography of Devotion in the British Library Map Psalter
Authors: Brott LauraLee
Published: October 2018

The article investigates how two thirteenth-century T-O maps in the British Library Map Psalter interact with their textual setting. The maps occupy the two sides of a single folio. On the recto is a pictorial world map with 91 place names; on the verso, a list map indicates 75 provinces and 77 cities within Asia, Africa, and Europe. The maps occupy a unique place within the history of medieval cartography because they are the only mappaemundi extant within a Book of Psalms. The specific relationship between the maps and the texts of the psalms is, however, less studied. I propose that the maps allude to the content of the psalms and complement images in the historiated initials, cultivating exegesis, prayer, and contemplation.
Under “The Half-Lit Moon”: Theories of Expanded Cinema and Nuit Blanche Edmonton 2015
Authors: Miliokas Lydia
Published: October 2018

L’auteure s’intéresse à plusieurs installations d’importance, produits de la lentille ou médiatisées sur écran, exposées à Edmonton à l’occasion du festival Nuit Blanche inaugural, en 2015, afin de se livrer à une lecture formelle des textes audiovisuels comme œuvres littérales concrètes, tout en sondant simultanément le mode selon lequel elles exposent leurs publics à de puissantes expériences affectives. Dans Thinking in Film: The Politics of Video Installation According to Elija-Liisa Ahtila (2013), l’analyste culturel Mieke Bal se penche sur le potentiel esthétique du mouvement dans l’installation vidéo contemporaine, affirmant que la compréhension des différentes façons dont se meuvent les images est essentielle à l’interprétation des installations de films et de vidéos dans les galeries. Le travail de Bal sert donc de guide dans une lecture des autres discours sur les installations artistiques sur écran relatifs à trois œuvres présentées dans le cadre de Nuit Blanche Edmonton. L’auteure examine donc comment ces œuvres pourraient convertir des places quotidiennes en sites productifs d’échange au-delà des murs des institutions publiques consacrées à l’art.
Doorways to an Urban Mirage: Urbanity and the Situated Cinema Project
Authors: Wilmink Melanie
Published: October 2018

L’auteure applique les études phénoménologiques, les études des performances et les études cinématographiques à l’analyse de deux projets d’exposition présentés par Melanie Wilmink. Les projets Urbanity (Calgary, 2009) et Situated Cinema Project (Toronto, 2015) sont déployés à titre d’études de cas permettant d’examiner comment les architectures cinématiques oscillent, sur le plan performatif, entre posture critique et intégration pour structurer de nouvelles formes d’expérience esthétique du spectateur. Exposées en milieux extérieurs urbains à l’intention des publics itinérants, les deux installations créent des zones liminales — aux frontières du cinéma, de la galerie et de l’espace public — où les spectateurs peuvent se livrer à une expérience artistique ludique et tactile, créant momentanément des échanges et permettant à leurs corps d’expérimenter le contact avec des images projetées, des architectures construites et le rituel du visionnement. En s’appropriant des lieux habituellement réservés à la circulation, ou à d’autres aspects de la vie publique (comme les rues, les trottoirs et les places), les cinémas mobiles rompent le fil de la vie quotidienne, induisant détournements et interactions.
