THE EVALUATION OF DURABILITY OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS USING NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: Didych Iryna Stepanivna , Pastukh Oleg , Pyndus Yuri , Yasniy Oleg
Published: March 2018

While in operation structural elements may have cracks, which usually grow up to critical size due to further cyclic loading, so that the component is likely to be destroyed. Therefore, it is important to study the process of fatigue failure of structural materials. The aim of this work was to evaluate the durability of structural elements during their design phase, taking into account the achieved level of material damage, and to predict the fatigue crack growth (FCG) rate in an aluminium D16chT alloy under regular loading using neural network (NN). Based on experimental data of FCG at stress ratio R = 0, FCG rate was predicted in this alloy. The results obtained by the authors are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Authors: Bublíková Dagmar , Jirková Hana , Jeníček Štěpán , Káňa Josef
Published: March 2018

Jednou z dnešních pokročilých cest tepelné úpravy ocelí s vysokou pevností je proces Q & P, který poskytuje vysokou pevnost v kombinaci s dobrou tažností. Výsledná mikrostruktura je kombinací martenzitu a malých frakcí bainitu a zadrženého austenitu. Zadržený austenit má podobu tenkých jehel, které přiléhají k martenzitovým lištám. Použití tohoto způsobu v průmyslové praxi je komplikované potřebou udržení při rozdělovací teplotě, když se zadaný austenit stabilizuje migrací uhlíku z super-nasyceného martenzitu. Inženýři proto hledají procesní cesty, při nichž přerušení chladicího procesu při určité teplotě a udržení při této teplotě nepředstavují technologické problémy. 
Jednou z dostupných možností je vytvrzování lisováním, které se často zabývá ošetřením částí těla vozidla. Ocel 42SiCr, která je legována manganem, křemíkem a chrómem, byla Q & P zpracována za použití experimentálních sekvencí s různými teplotami kalení a dělení. Doba namáčení a teplota a rychlost chlazení byly shodné s parametry používanými v reálných procesech. Správně zvolené parametry vedly k martensiticko-bainitickým mikrostrukturám s částí zadrženého austenitu, maximální pevností přibližně 2000 MPa a protažením A 20 více než 10%.
ACTIVITY OF BI4V2-2XCU2XO11–Δ IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF ISOBUTANOL AFTER PLASMA-CHEMICAL TREATMENT
Authors: Povarova Elena , Pylinina Anna , Mikhalenko Irina , Safronenko Marina
Published: March 2018

The catalytic properties of plasma-chemically and thermally treated Bi4V2-2xCu2xO11–δ with х= 0.00–0.16 (BICUVOX) in the transformation of isobutanol are studied. Plasma treatments lead to the total deactivation of the active sites of dehydration reaction, and the alcohol is converted with 100% selectivity into aldehyde. Activity of the dehydrogenation of alcohol after PCT increases in ~ 1.7 times on samples with xCu=0.04-0.06 (a.b phases) compared to the initial samples. Similar values which were found for the samples with xCu=0.0-0.06, including the double vanadate, suggests that PCT affects the ceramic matrix with Bi, O and V elements. Addition of small amounts of copper does not change this effect.

Memory Liberated, Memory Enslaved. Historical Culture in the Process of Transformation

The democratic breakthrough in Poland and in other Central‑European countries led to a process of liberation and transformation of public memory. Societies, whose memory had been ‘occupied’ for decades, focused on debating the problem of identity with the fervour of neophytes. They discussed their origins and their destiny. Poland, a country that survived two occupations at the same time, is settling with the past, which has far reaching consequences both for its own self‑awareness and for its attitude towards the neighbours. However, memory freed of censorship and pressure of a single ideology becomes easily enslaved in the face of another ideology. Thus, the historical culture of Poland that is developing in the age of globalisation and numerous international challenges, is full of contradictions and questions that cannot be easily answered.

Critical Post‑memory in Narratives of the Offsprings of Holocaust Survivors (J. Dres, M. Grynberg, G. Rossenberg)
The literary works of the offsprings of Holocaust survivors most frequently show that this is the inherited Shoah trauma, which was, and still is, very important or even the most important determinant of their lives. Among the similar voices of the so‑called second and third generation of survivors there appear some distinct ones, which make an attempt to work through the Shoah trauma. This article is aimed at presenting these distinct attitudes, which are the attempts to have a look at the personally experienced situation of the offsprings of Holocaust survivors. While analyzing the critical, reflective attitudes, the author refers to Marianna Hirsch’s conception of post‑memory; he also asks about the influence of the attitudes on polish collective memory.

An unusual tumulus or cenotaph at Cozzo Rotondo, town of Grifone (Bisignano, Cosenza, Italy). New and old geological investigation for an archaeological discovery
Authors: Vincenzo Rizzo  , Mario Panizza
Published: March 2018

The hillock named “Cozzo Rotondo”, in Grifone (Bisignano, province of Cosenza, Italy), has attracted the attention of numerous researchers since 1986, when it was discovered, and – owing to its peculiar morphology – is described as a monumental tumulus. This research, integrating old unpublished data and new ones, aims to define its internal structure and how it was made. In fact , its shape is in striking contrast with the geomorphological context of the surrounding area. Its shape, orientation and spatial setting recall many tumuli of Central Europe. A series of popular myths and legends, as well as its curious name, are associated with this hillock, conferring it a certain halo of mystery. The geological, geophysical and geomorphological investigations carried out in the past – in particular those quoted in this study – confirm that this hillock is made up of homogeneous sand arranged in natural layers and that its shape is the result of the digging and remodelling of a natural slope. Based on geomorphological observations, it has been estimated that the volume of earth dug out is about 8,000 m3, concentrated nearly exclusively in the southwestern sector of the hillock, where the soils are more recent and thinner. Subsequently, the material was scattered in the underlying plain, thus forming a gentle bluff, some 1-2 m thick, over an area of 4,000 m2, as confirmed by georadar surveying. In particular, geological investigations carried out on a series of excavations have clearly shown the presence of a moat surrounding an ancient building and a clayey colluvium, which were dated to the 8th century CE (by means of 14C dating) and after the 8th century BCE (by means of fluorescence analyses), respectively. It was therefore suggested that the digging and remodelling activities took place in this time interval. Geoelectrical and georadar surveying seems to show the absence of voluminous finds, strengthening the hypothesis – expressed also by many archaeologists – that the hillock of Cozzo Rotondo is a quaint tumulus resulting from accurate partial modelling, almost totally made by a sort of “deep carving”. More likely, it is a monumental cenotaph, built in a very original way.
A Bibliography on the Application of GIS in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
Authors: Bogdani Julian , Eugenio De Mitri
Published: March 2018

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applications to archaeological projects of different scales, chronological contexts and cultural milieux has accrued by now a long history and bibliography. Hopefully the phases of experimentation and almost blind testing are over, even if GIS applications are still sometimes being labeled as “new technologies”. This does not mean that scientific research is on a blind alley and nothing new is to be expected from GIS applications to archaeology. It means only that at present some strong, reliable and indisputable basis exist and are available to build new research on. Just as archaeological stratigraphy, GIS and spatial information technology is now a widespread and steady technique handled everyday by hundreds of archaeologists that use these tools to manage, visualize, query and model datasets that are growing everyday more diversified and richer. It is thus important to keep an eye open on current research in order to promptly identify innovative best practices or approaches that can greatly help in interpreting our data.
Developments in Indian Missile Program: Options for Pakistan

Published: March 2018

With the induction of new weapon systems in South Asia, notably BMDs, the region would gradually become prone to risk of war especially due to unresolved disputes, notably Kashmir. The sporadic events of violence and state terrorism in Indian Held Kashmir, as have been witnessed in past few months, pose serious threat to a major chuck of the entire world population. Due to mutual hostility and suspicion, role of international community, especially the major powers, would remain critical in facilitating the bilateral peace between the South Asian nuclear rivals or else possibility of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan would keep the populace of this region hostage to the nuclear radiation effects around the globe.
China-South Asia Communications under BRI: The CPEC Model
Authors: Khalid Rahman
Published: March 2018

BRI, when compared with any other connectivity project in the 21st century, can indisputably be regarded as the greatest project considering its size and diversity. Yet, the real significance of this project isn't linked to its size; it is the paradigm and the spirit behind it. Cooperation, inclusiveness and win-win approach, being the main elements of this development model, makes it a completely distinct paradigm, from what has been in practice since last over 200 years in the world, under the Colonial Culture of Domination, to benefit from the opportunities offered by the over powering trend of globalization. Although China now enjoys a greater global influence, many of the other powerful international and regional players, while may like to benefit from the project, might not reconcile with the approach that has laid the foundation of BRI. Thus, while the physical and functional aspects of the BRI would naturally attract the maximum attention, an aggressive communication strategy advancing the spirit of BRI is a prerequisite to make the project a real success. While this is important for each and every region (and country) involved in BRI, the regions and countries sharing borders with China naturally occupy special significance; since the physical connectivity cannot be achieved without taking them on board. This paper, after elaborating the above perspective discusses in the final part CPEC experience as an example in the overall context.
Maritime Politics in South Asia and Naval Compulsions of CPEC for Pakistan
Authors: Attiq-ur-Rehman
Published: March 2018

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), highlighted both by Chinese and Pakistani leadership as the flagship project of Beijing's ‘Belt and Road (BRI) Initiative,’ is essentially a long-term plan for closer economic partnership. It promises immense benefits not only for the two nations directly involve but for the entire region, especially in terms of trade, transit and transportation. But at the same time, the development of sea-ports as part of BRI in general and Gwadar as part of CPEC in particular has provided a context to India to magnify its ‘concerns’ and aim for a renewed naval build-up. Chinese larger strategy is also seen by experts in the region and beyond as starting a new maritime contest in the so-called Indian Ocean. In this background, it seems that CPEC would lead toward increased maritime politics and contestations not only between Pakistan and India but would also involve China and US. Islamabad needs to carefully evaluate its options and develop its strategic response accordingly, involving but not limited to continuous development of its naval capability and an even closer maritime cooperation with China.
Central Asia's Place in Turkey's Foreign Policy
Authors: Zeeshan Fida
Published: March 2018

With the independence of the Turkic World after disintegration of USSR in 1991, Turkey found an opportunity to fill the power vacuum in the Central Asian region left by the Soviets. Thus, in the early 1990s, the Turkish foreign policy towards the Central Asian States was hinged on the wishful ideas of Pan-Turkic World. It immediately faced outright resistance from the CARs as they craved to retain their newly found exclusive nationalistic identities. Consequently, later on, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Turkey relinquished their hitherto ambitious foreign policy towards the CAR and reoriented it on more pragmatic lines which allowed her to strengthen its bilateral relations with the CARs. Meanwhile, in light of the geopolitical developments in Ukraine and dramatic slowdown of the Russian economy, Turkey's balancing act in Central Asia was seen as beneficial by Moscow, which could find another partner in helping to stem some of China's swelling influence in the region. Moreover, after the failed military coup attempt in Turkey (July 2016), Russian and Turkish leadership have showed friendly overtures to each other which can strengthen their relations and both these players can play constructive role towards the development of Central Asia region.

Convergence of Linear Approximation of Archimedean Generator from Williamson’s Transform in Examples
Authors: Bacigál Tomáš , Ždímalová Mária
Published: March 2018

We discuss a new construction method for obtaining additive generators of Archimedean copulas proposed by McNeil, A. J.-Nešlehová, J.: Multivariate Archimedean copulas, d-monotone functions and l1-norm symmetric distributions, Ann. Statist. 37 (2009), 3059-3097, the so-called Williamson n-transform, and illustrate it by several examples. We show that due to the equivalence of convergences of positive distance functions, additive generators and copulas, we may approximate any n-dimensional Archimedean copula by an Archimedean copula generated by a transformation of weighted sum of Dirac functions concentrated in certain suitable points. Specifically, in two dimensional case this means that any Archimedean copula can be approximated by a piece-wise linear Archimedean copula, moreover the approximation of generator by linear splines circumvents the problem with the non-existence of explicit inverse.

Čoh, M, Vodičar, J, Žvan, M, Šimenko, J, Stodolka, J, Rauter, S, and Maćkala, K. Are change-of-direction speed and reactive agility independent skills even when using the same movement pattern? J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 1929–1936, 2018—The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there are differences between the 2 approaches to quantifying agility (preplanned vs. unplanned response) when reacting to a stimulus in an identical spatial scenarios. The study involved 45 male and 31 female trained athletes (age 21.2 ± 1.78 and 20.6 ± 1.27 years, body height 181.6 ± 8.31 and 167.7 ± 5.03 cm, and body mass 78.9 ± 11.33 and 63.3 ± 8.65 kg, respectively). A light-based reactive training system was used to measure the time to completion in a task that assessed agility by change-of-direction speed (CODS) in a preplanned condition and reactive agility (RA) in an unplanned condition across 4 spatial configurations. Sprint performance in a 30-m sprint and lower limb reactive power in a 10-m single leg jump test was also measured. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found between men and women in all tests and between performance in the CODS and RA condition for each spatial configuration. Significant correlations were observed between 30-m starting sprint speed and CODS and RA performance measured in a semicircle (r = 0.62, r = 0.60) and lateral (r = 0.54, r = 0.58) configuration in male athletes. The present findings suggest that CODS and RA are 2 different and independent skill domains that define agility. These qualities should be diagnosed by discrete assessments and enhanced by different training methodologies.

Lastova, K, Nordvall, M, Walters-Edwards, M, Allnutt, A, and Wong, A. Cardiac autonomic and blood pressure responses to an acute foam rolling session. J Strength Cond Res 32(10): 2825–2830, 2018—Foam rolling (FR) is a self-myofascial release method that has become extremely popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for its ability to improve flexibility and range of motion and alleviate delayed-onset muscle soreness. However, the cardiac autonomic modulation and blood pressure (BP) responses induced by an acute FR session are currently unknown. This study evaluated the effects of an acute session of FR exercise on heart rate variability (HRV) and BP responses in healthy individuals. Fifteen (M = 8, F = 7) healthy subjects completed either an FR or nonexercise control trial in randomized order. Heart rate variability and BP measurements were collected at baseline, 10, and 30 minutes after each trial. There were significant increases (p < 0.01) in markers of vagal tone (normalized high frequency) for 30 minutes after the FR trial, whereas no changes from baseline were observed after control. There were also significant decreases (p < 0.05) in markers of sympathetic activity (normalized low frequency), sympathovagal balance (ratio of normalized low frequency to normalized high frequency), systolic BP, and diastolic BP at 10 and 30 minutes after the trial KB trial, whereas no changes from baseline were observed after the control trial. Our findings indicate that FR decreases sympathovagal balance for 30 minutes postintervention, which is concurrent with an important hypotensive effect. Further research is warranted to evaluate the potential cardiovascular protective effects of FR in diverse populations.

Peart, AN, Nicks, CR, Mangum, M, and Tyo, BM. Evaluation of seasonal changes in fitness, anthropometrics, and body composition in collegiate division II female soccer players.J Strength Cond Res32(7): 2010–2017, 2018—The purpose of this study was to investigate anthropometrics, body composition, aerobic and anaerobic fitness of collegiate Division II female soccer players throughout a calendar year. Eighteen (20 ± 0.9 years) National Collegiate Athletics Association division II female soccer players from the same team participated in the study. Anthropometrics and body composition variables were assessed in addition to the counter movement jump (CMJ), Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAT), and peak oxygen uptake (V̇o2peak). Data were collected over 5 time points: end of competitive seasons (ECS1 and ECS2), beginning of off-season (BOS), end of off-season (EOS), and preseason (PS). Repeated-measures analysis of variance was conducted to compare test scores among all 5 data collection points. Where appropriate, Bonferroni post hoc tests were used to determine which points were significantly different. Hip circumference decreased significantly (p< 0.001) from EOS (98.47 ± 6.5 cm) to PS (94.46 ± 6.8 cm). Fat mass (12.73 ± 5.4 kg) was significantly different in ECS2 compared with BOS and EOS means (p≤ 0.05) and percentage of body fat (%BF) (20.08 ± 5.44) significantly different in ECS2 compared with ECS1, BOS, and EOS means (p≤ 0.05), whereas fat-free mass (FFM) was maintained from ECS1 to ECS2. Counter movement jump, WAT, and V̇o2peak performance did not significantly change from ECS1 to ECS2. Anthropometrics and body composition results are similar to previous studies measuring Division II to professional female soccer players. Counter movement jump results remained consistent and are comparable to results on Division I female soccer players. Coaches and researchers can use these data to help design and evaluate training programs throughout a calendar year.

Borges, A, Teodósio, C, Matos, P, Mil-Homens, P, Pezarat-Correia, P, Fahs, C, and Mendonca, GV. Sexual dimorphism in the estimation of upper-limb blood flow restriction in the seated position. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 2096–2102, 2018—Arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) is typically used to normalize blood flow restriction (BFR) during low-intensity BFR exercise. Despite strong evidence for sexual dimorphism in muscle blood flow, sex-related differences in AOP estimation remain a controversial topic. We aimed at determining whether the relationship of upper-limb AOP with arm circumference and systolic blood pressure (BP) differs between men and women resting in the seated position. Sixty-two healthy young participants (31 men: 21.7 ± 2.3; 31 women: 22.0 ± 2.0 years) were included in this study. Arm circumference, resting BP, and AOP were taken in the seated position. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine whether the relationship of AOP with arm circumference and resting BP differed between sexes. Prediction accuracy was assessed with the mean absolute percent error and Bland-Altman plots. Men had higher systolic BP and larger arm circumference than women (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, AOP was similar between sexes. Arm circumference, systolic BP, and sex were all significant predictors of AOP (p < 0.05), explaining 42% of its variance. The absolute percent error was similar in both sexes (men: −0.55 ± 7.12; women: −0.39 ± 6.31%, p > 0.05). Bland-Altman plots showed that the mean difference between actual and estimated AOP was nearly zero in both groups, with no systematic overestimation or underestimation. In conclusion, arm circumference, systolic BP, and sex are all significant predictors of upper-limb–seated AOP. Their measurement allows for the indirect estimation of BFR pressure within the context of exercise training.
Evaluation of the Most Reliable Procedure of Determining Jump Height During the Loaded Countermovement Jump Exercise: Take-Off Velocity vs. Flight Time

Published: March 2018

Pérez-Castilla, A and García-Ramos, A. Evaluation of the most reliable procedure of determining jump height during the loaded countermovement jump exercise: Take-off velocity vs. flight time. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 2025–2030, 2018—This study aimed to compare the reliability of jump height between the 2 standard procedures of analyzing force-time data (take-off velocity [TOV] and flight time [FT]) during the loaded countermovement (CMJ) exercise performed with a free-weight barbell and in a Smith machine. The jump height of 17 men (age: 22.2 ± 2.2 years, body mass: 75.2 ± 7.1 kg, and height: 177.0 ± 6.0 cm) was tested in 4 sessions (twice for each CMJ type) against external loads of 17, 30, 45, 60, and 75 kg. Jump height reliability was comparable between the TOV (coefficient of variation [CV]: 6.42 ± 2.41%) and FT (CV: 6.53 ± 2.17%) during the free-weight CMJ, but it was higher for the FT when the CMJ was performed in a Smith machine (CV: 11.34 ± 3.73% for TOV and 5.95 ± 1.12% for FT). Bland-Altman plots revealed trivial differences (≤0.27 cm) and no heteroscedasticity of the errors (R
2 ≤ 0.09) for the jump height obtained by the TOV and FT procedures, whereas the random error between both procedures was higher for the CMJ performed in the Smith machine (2.02 cm) compared with the free-weight barbell (1.26 cm). Based on these results, we recommend the FT procedure to determine jump height during the loaded CMJ performed in a Smith machine, whereas the TOV and FT procedures provide similar reliability during the free-weight CMJ.

Electron-Impact Excitation of 51S – 51Po Resonance Transition in Sr Atom
Authors: Nagy E. A. , Gedeon V. F. , Gedeon S. V. , Lazur V. Yu.
Published: March 2018

Main aspects of a new version of the B-spline R-matrix (BSR) method, in which nonorthogonal orbitals are applied, have been described. The BSR approximation is used to calculate the resonance structure of integral cross-sections of the 51S - 51Po transition at the electron scattering by a strontium atom in the energy interval up to 10 eV. The multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock method with a nonorthogonal set of orbitals is employed to accurately represent the target wave functions. The close-coupling expansion included 31 bound states of a neutral strontium atom ranging from the ground state to the 5s5f 1Fo one. The calculated cross-sections are in good agreement with available experimental data and can be exhaustively interpreted. The structure of a resonance feature in the e-Sr scattering cross-sections at about 4 eV is discussed.
Amorphous Submicron Layer in Depletion Region: New Approach to Increase the Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency
Authors: Kozinetz A. V. , Skryshevsky V. A.
Published: March 2018

The insertion of a thin amorphized layer (AL) in the space charge region of a silicon solar cell is proposed as a way to improve the conversion efficiency due to the impurity photovoltaic effect. Previously, this approach had been applied to a cell with a layer inserted in the emitter by the ion implantation. The insertion of such layer in the space charge region is founded to be preferable, because a better control over the recombination (via energy levels in the band gap and local states of interfaces) can be achieved. The parameters of a modified device are investigated by the numerical simulation, and it is concluded that the layer parameters have a crucial influence on the cell conversion efficiency. Based on our simulation results, the optimal AL and the height of barriers are determined. In such a case, the short circuit current density is improved due to the absorption of photons with energy less than a silicon band gap of 1.12 eV in AL, whereas the open circuit voltage and fill factor remain unchanged. Theoretically, the increase in the efficiency by 1–2% is achievable. In the non-optimal case, the degradation of a short circuit current and the fill factor eliminate the positive effect of an additional photogeneration in AL.

Authors: Strikha M. V. , Kurchak A. I. , Morozovska A. N.
Published: March 2018

Review is devoted to the recent theoretical studies of the impact of domain structure of ferroelectric substrate on graphene conductance. An analytical description of the hysteresis memory effect in a field effect transistor based on graphene-on-ferroelectric, taking into account absorbed dipole layers on the free surface of graphene and localized states on its interfaces is considered. The aspects of the recently developed theory of p-n junctions conductivity in a graphene channel on a ferroelectric substrate, which are created by a 180-degree ferroelectric domain structure, are analyzed, and cases of different current regimes from ballistic to diffusion one are considered. The influence of size effects in such systems and the possibility of using the results for improving the characteristics of field effect transistors with a graphene channel, non-volatile ferroelectric memory cells with random access, sensors, as well as for miniaturization of various devices of functional nanoelectronics are discussed.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and to analyze the factors associated with odontogenic pain among children at a pediatric dental emergency service.METHODS: The retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using the clinical records of children (0 to 12 years old) attended from 2003 to 2010 at the Pediatric Dentistry Emergency Service of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. The information was collected by a researcher, and a structured form was used to collect all data from patients’ records. A bivariate analysis of the absolute and relative frequencies of odontogenic pain (spontaneous and induced) and associated factors (age, gender, diagnosis, treatment and referrals) was performed with the chi-square or Fisher tests (p<0.05).RESULTS: Of the 574 records examined, 308 (53.7%) had reported odontogenic pain. The majority of the individuals were male (51.0%) between 4 and 8 years of age (40.9%). Odontogenic pain affected more frequently the deciduous tooth (76.9%), with induced dental pain (54.5%), diagnosed with dental caries (54.5%), which was treated with extraction (21.4%), and referred to another clinic (59.7%). The type of odontogenic pain was not associated with gender, age group or affected tissue (p>0.05), but there was a higher prevalence of spontaneous pain in children with caries in a deciduous tooth with pulpal involvement, who were treated with endodontic medication and endodontic treatment (p<0.05). Among children with induced pain, there was a higher prevalence of trauma and decay in deciduous and permanent teeth without pulpal involvement, and they received temporary restoration and were referred to the trauma project (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: There was higher prevalence of odontogenic pain in children between 4-8 years of age, with deciduous dentition and dental caries. The type of odontogenic pain was associated with diagnosis, treatment and referral, but was not associated with gender and age.

Fatores de experiência linguística associados à proficiência autoavaliada por usuários de inglês como língua adicional
Authors: Scholl Ana Paula , Finger Ingrid , Fontes Ana Beatriz Arêas da Luz
Published: March 2018

Pesquisadores sugerem que o aprendizado de línguas adicionais e a experiência com o uso dessas línguas tem um papel importante no desenvolvimento da competência linguística de um indivíduo (MARIAN, BLUMENFELD e KAUSHANSKAYA, 2007). O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar quais fatores relacionados a uma experiência linguística são  associados à proficiência autoavaliada pelos usuários de uma língua adicional. Para esse fim, correlacionamos variáveis da experiência linguística de 535 participantes brasileiros falantes de inglês como língua adicional com a proficiência reportada por eles no Questionário de Experiência e Proficiência Linguística (QuExPLi). Os resultados sugerem que os fatores relacionados a marcos de idade, tempo de imersão e uso atual da língua associam-se de forma significativa à proficiência autorreportada pelosparticipantes.
Aspectos hipermodernos no conto “O importado vermelho de Noé”, de André Sant’anna
Authors: Moura da Silva Paulo Ricardo
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo primordial discutir criticamente o conto “O importado vermelho de Noé”, do escritor André Sant’Anna (2007), presente no livro Sexo e amizade, sob a perspectiva das reflexões de Gilles Lipovetsky (2004) sobre os aspectos fundamentais que constituem a hipermodernidade. Atentamo-nos em nossa leitura crítica para os diálogos possíveis entre o conto de André Sant’Anna e as discussões de Gilles Lipovetsky de modo a aproximá-los para verificar certos aspectos convergentes entre estes dois discursos, como, por exemplo, o consumo, a velocidade, bem como as ressignificações nas relações que os indivíduos hipermodernos estabelecem com o tempo.
Processos cognitivos de domínio geral: evidências em instanciações da construção transitiva
Authors: De Lucena Nedja Lima
Published: March 2018

Este artigo examina processos cognitivos de domínio geral que estão atrelados ao uso linguístico, mais precisamente à manifestação discursiva de um tipo de construção de estrutura argumental: a construção transitiva. Seu objetivo é discutir evidências da atuação desses processos nas instanciações dessa construção a partir do exame de dados empíricos oriundos de situações comunicativas reais. O trabalho ancora-se nos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso, que abriga a concepção de que as línguas são moldadas pela complexa interação de princípios cognitivos e funcionais. Esses desempenham um papel basilar na manifestação dos fenômenos linguísticos. Alinhado a esse viés teórico, este artigo adota a perspectiva da gramática de construção na análise. Evidencia-se que os processos cognitivos de domínio geral atrelados à experiência motivam a expressão de instanciações da construção transitiva que se afastam do membro prototípico, mas que, por analogia, são tomadas do modo semelhante. Os padrões linguísticos são vistos como consequência da atuação desses processos cognitivos e, ao observá-los, estamos situando a língua num amplo contexto do comportamento humano.

Authors: Henrique Judithe Genuíno , Oliveira Rosana Costa de , Gonçalves Calaça de Souza Flávia
Published: March 2018

A pesquisa elaborada neste estudo investiga a reflexividade verbal e seu papel no processamento da anáfora se. No intuito de verificar quais verbos são considerados mais aceitáveis na leitura de sentenças contendo a anáfora se, realizamos um teste offline de julgamento de aceitabilidade com falantes nativos do português brasileiro. Utilizamo-nos da noção de reflexividade proposta por Reinhart e Reuland (1993), os quais predizem que a reflexividade é uma propriedade dos predicados, bem como dos trabalhos de Christiano (1991) e Mello (2008), pois estes estabeleceram uma classificação mais categórica para os verbos com características mais reflexivas, dividindo-os em três níveis: primário – penteou, secundário – sentou, e terciário – acusou, de acordo com o grau de reflexividade. De modo geral, os resultados encontrados evidenciaram que a propriedade da reflexividade pode estar presente tanto na anáfora como no predicado, assim como afirmam Reinhart e Reuland (1993).
“Of course i’m happy”: an analysis of Animal farm (Orwell, 1945) and Fahrenheit 451 (Bradbury, 1953) dystopian modernity
Authors: Gonçalves Davi Silva
Published: March 2018

*“É claro que sou feliz”: uma análise da modernidade distópica de Animal farm (Orwell, 1945) e Fahrenheit 451 (Bradbury, 1953)*Utopias e distopias, trazendo aos leitores possibilidades distintas de futuro, sempre nos ofereceram ferramentas para repensar a sociedade.Isto porque, apesar dos textos estarem inseridos em seus devidos contextos, eles são também empoderados com a possibilidade de dar forma à novos contextos – a literatura é informada e informa a realidade, operando como receptáculo e resposta à comoções sociais e políticas. Tendo isto em mente, este estudo analisa como Animal Farm (ORWELL, 1945) e Fahrenheit 451 (BRADBURY, 1953) reagem aos epistemes com os quais nós, leitores, viemos equipados. O que ambas novelas demonstram é que existe a possibilidade de aceitação e de subversão – isso quando estamos cientes que a segunda opção é de fato factível. Abordando questões como a alienação dos sujeitos e a ausência de suas habilidades críticas para interagir socialmente de maneira frutífera em vistas de alterar sua condição, as duas narrativas nos dão indicações da arena política para a qual discursos literários podem ser trazidos. Afinal, pensar politicamente acerca de produções literárias pode até ser uma opção, mas o fato de que a literatura consiste, por si só, em uma instituição política não é.
An issue for Wegner’s theory about the conscious will: the Readiness Potential does not conclusively represent preparation for an action
Authors: Marques Beatriz Sorrentino
Published: March 2018

The role of consciousness in the production of actions has received much attention from philosophy and neuroscience. Wegner (2002) claims that what he calls the conscious will plays no role in the causal production of human actions, and that it is just an illusion. I will argue that Wegner’s claim is mistaken, because his defense of the alleged illusion rests on how he conceives of what the Readiness Potential (RP) represents in a key experiment – Libet’s experiment – and this conception is mistaken. Therefore, Wegner has not offered a convincing reason to believe that humans are deluded about the way they produce their actions.
