Published: May 2018

The productivity of pastures and forage is increasingly limited due to climate variability and prolonged drought periods. For that reason, it is necessary to cultivate plants that are tolerant and productive under conditions of seasonal drought. The objective of this work was to characterize the agronomic and productive performance of new drought tolerantCenchrus purpureus cultivars. Three cultivars (CT-601, CT-603, and CT-605) were used at different regrowth ages (60, 80, 100, and 120 days) in two climatic periods: rainfall and low rainfall from 2013 to 2014 in a representative ecosystem of Cauto Valley, Cuba. The cultivars were grown on Vertisol and were fertilized with organic fertilizer at a rate of 25 t/ha. Some agronomic variables and dry matter (DM) yield (t/ha) were evaluated under rainfed conditions. A randomized block design with factorial arrangement and its interaction (3x4x2) was used. DM yield was affected by the second order interaction, during the period of rainfall, CT-605 at the age of 120 days reached the best average (p≤0.001) and during the period of low rainfall, CT-603 and CT-605 were highlighted (p≤0.001). Weather-season interaction on cultivars had a significantly positive impact (p≤0.001) on the length of leaves of CT-601 in the period of rainfall. CT-605 increased (p≤0.001) the percentage of leaves and green stems in the period of rainfall, superscripts were equalized in the dry season. Cultivars showed an acceptable DM yield during the low rainfall period, morphological changes neither affected the development nor the productivity.

The stomatal characteristics and chlorophyll concentration are some of the main parameters, to determine plant productivity. The objective of the present study was to characterize the stomatal density and distribution to estimate the chlorophyll concentration and evaluate their effect on the biomass production of sideoatsgrama[Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] genotypes. The experiment was performed from May to July 2015 under greenhouse conditions, at- the School of Animal Sciences and Ecology of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, Mexico. Three commercial varieties were studied: El Reno, Niner, Vaughn and two native genotypes: E-689 and E-592 of side-oats grama. The variables evaluated were chlorophyll concentration index (CCI), stomatal density (SD), trichome density (TD), stomatal index (SI), and stomatal area (SA). These variables were related to biomass production (BP) applying regression analysis. SD and SI showed a negative effect on BP, while SA and CCI showed a positive effect. The genotype E-689 showed the lowest (p<0.05) SD and SI, with values from 152.7 to 275 stomatal/μm2 and from 13.41 to 16.03%, respectively. In addition, it also presented the highest (p<0.05) SA and BP, with values from 186.7 to 361.7 μm2 and 13.5 to 30.3 g, respectively. In conclusion, genotypes of side-oats grama with lower stomatal density and stomatal index and higher stomatal area and chlorophyll concentration index could produce higher amounts of biomass.

Criteria and Scale for Argumentation
Authors: Kaewpet Chamnong
Published: May 2018

This paper presents an updated and practical criteria and scale for teaching, learning, and evaluating argumentation. The ability criteria and scale is generated from existing knowledge of argumentation as expected by CEFR, TOEFL and IELTS, as well as recent interest in argumentation. Examination of the academic literature suggests that the new criteria and scale should consider relevancy, reasoning, language use, organization and writer’s voice. Relevancy has not yet been seriously highlighted in the existing criteria. Reasoning, language use and organization are common criteria in argumentation. Writer’s voice is not emphasized in the existing criteria but often discussed in recent publications on argumentation. It is added to the updated framework in this paper to keep up with advancements in the field. This new framework could be a powerful option for teaching, learning and evaluating argumentation particularly in EFL or ESL contexts.

Authors: Hashamdar Mohammad , Rafi Fahimeh
Published: May 2018

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between social identity and the taboo words men and women use in order to express their anger. Moreover, this study went further and investigated the relationship between using taboo words in male and female participants who had a university degree and those who did not. In order to do the research, 20 female and 20 male adults, whose professions were similar in pairs, were randomly selected. The researcher recorded their voices when they were in an angry mood. After recording data, the researcher made a transcription of the first fifty words uttered by each participant. Then, the taboo words- words which were considered offensive or shocking and that were discouraged in public places - were calculated. Finally, the percentage of taboo words used by each participant was calculated and compared to that of the others. The findings of the study confirmed that the percentage of using taboo language by male characters, in different social identities, was much more than that of female characters. On the other hand, by dividing the participants into two groups of those who had a university degree, and those with no university degree, the researcher came to the conclusion that both male and female participants with a university degree used less taboo words than those without a university degree.

With the convening of the 19th NCCPC and at the call of “Building stronger cultural confidence and helping socialist culture to flourish.” the going global of Chinese cultural classics has gained increasing importance. Jiangxi Province is the birthplace of literati and scholars throughout the ages, especially in the Song Dynasty. Among the Eight Great Literati of the Tang and Song Dynasties three were JX natives. Therefore, the study on the English translation of the classic works by them would be of great academic and practical values as well as significance for popularization. Taking Chesterman’s Translation Memetics as the guidance and from the aspects of Expectancy Norms and Professional Norms, the study analyses and explores the translation strategies and skills of Chinese classic, in the hope to contribute the author’s pygmy to the translation and spread of traditional Chinese culture.
AUTONOMIA DA PESSOA COM DEFICIÊNCIA E OS ATOS DE DISPOSIÇÃO DO PRÓPRIO CORPO
Authors: Vasques Sampaio Carolina , Menezes Joyceane Bezerra de
Published: May 2018

Trata da autonomia da pessoa com deficiência para as decisões que impactam o próprio corpo. Considerando que tais pessoas são iguais em direito e dignidade, tem reconhecida a sua personalidade e possuem a capacidade civil para decidir sobre questões existenciais, dentre as quais, os atos de disposição sobre o corpo. Não é a deficiência que mitiga a capacidade para decidir e sim eventual ausência do discernimento necessário à prática da escolha. Aborda a disciplina jurídica da deficiência e os seus impactos da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência e o Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência (Lei no.13.146/2015) no Direito Civil. Por meio dessa plataforma de direitos, a pessoa com deficiência logra o reconhecimento de sua autodeterminação para realizar suas escolhas mais impactantes a sua pessoa, incluindo-se aquelas que interferem no corpo.
A PROTEÇÃO DO DIREITO À MORADIA ADEQUADA E SUA IMPORTÂNCIA PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO INFANTOJUVENIL NA PERSPECTIVA DOS DIREITOS DE PERSONALIDADE
Authors: Alves Fernando de Brito , Meda Ana Paula
Published: May 2018

Os direitos de personalidade são basilares na concretização da dignidade humana, pois ensejam a realização das potencialidades pessoais. Contudo, são direitos que prescindem, no estudo em análise, da efetivação do direito à moradia adequada com interferência no desenvolvimento infantojuvenil. Estudos até então realizados nesta área relacionam o direito à moradia com os direitos de personalidade, mas não o fazem direcionados para a verificação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) em simbiose com o conceito de moradia adequada. Propõe-se um estudo acerca de como o direito à moradia é concebido no referido Estatuto e de quais maneiras a inefetividade do direito de morar reflete a violação dos direitos de personalidade e, adiante, no saudável crescimento de infantes e juvenis. Utiliza-se o método dedutivo, a fim de que a premissa da moradia adequada seja investigada em meio aos direitos de personalidade e da realização humana a partir do público infantojuvenil. A moradia é direito implicitamente reconhecido pelo ECA, de maneira que sua execução completa tende a proteger o direito à vida, à saúde, à intimidade, à integridade pessoal e à liberdade.
REFORMA TRABALHISTA E O CONCEITO DE SISTEMA JURÍDICO
Authors: Moraes Camila Miranda de , Gaia Fausto Siqueira
Published: May 2018

A gênese do trabalho humano remonta os esforços físicos, punições. A etimologia da palavra trabalho, que vem do latim “tripaliare” que significa torturar, reflete em sua evolução histórica e na evolução da disciplina jurídica que hoje conhecemos como direito do trabalho. No curso da história, o trabalho assumiu diversas feições – servidão, escravidão, corporações de ofício – o que gerou a necessidade do surgimento de uma disciplina jurídica autônoma que regulasse tais relações, que hoje denominamos direito do trabalho. O objetivo do presente artigo é estudar o conceito de sistema jurídico e suas características para investigar quais as características do sistema de direito do trabalho no Brasil e pesquisar se a denominada reforma trabalhista veiculada pela lei 13467 de 13/07/2017 guarda pertinência com o sistema do direito do trabalho brasileiro e em que medida.

Published: May 2018

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) was initially described as a movement disorder, however there is now recognition that its clinical features also include non-motor symptoms such as cognitive impairment and dementia, which are frequent even in the early stages of the disease and, especially in the advanced stages. Cognitive deficits in PD include impairments in executive functions, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. Cognitive impairment may manifest as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia, in which MCI refers to the stage between normal cognitive functioning and dementia. Factors associated with cognitive dysfunction in PD include advanced age, low schooling, worse motor scores, stiffness, postural instability and increased daytime sleepiness. Objective: To track cognitive decline and to correlate measurement instruments in subjects with PD by comparing them to healthy subjects. Methods: Study conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences of Trairi / UFRN. The sample consisted of 20 old people (10 healthy elderlies and 10 elderlies with PD). It was applied the socio-demographic record, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS II and III), Hoehn & Yahr Scale, Mini Mental State Examination, Leganés Cognitive Test (LCT) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results: It was observed cognitive decline in both groups by MoCA (90% of the PD group and 80% of the healthy group), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.10). It was also verified association between UPDRS II and LCT (r= -0.69, p=0.03) and between UPDRS III and LCT (r=-0.66, p=0.04). Conclusion: We found a cognitive deficit in the elderly group with PD, with no significant difference when compared to the healthy elderly. There was an association between motor and cognitive function in subjects with PD. MoCA was more sensitive in the screening of cognitive deficit in subjects with PD.

Authors: Raghavan Jisy S. , Muhammed Kunnummal , Fathima Sharim
Published: May 2018

Background: Paucity of literature on epidemiological studies of alopecia areata (AA) from Indian subcontinent especially from southern India. The objectives of the study were to study the epidemiological and clinical profile of alopecia areata in a population from northern part of South India.

Methods: The epidemiology including pattern, risk factors and associations were evaluated in all newly diagnosed alopecia areata cases seen from January 2017 to December 2017 in a tertiary hospital in South India.

Results: The incidence of AA was 2% of total dermatology outpatients. 60 new case referrals of AA were seen from January 2017 to December 2017. Male to female ratio was almost equal. Maximum number of patients with AA belonged to the age group of 21-40 years (50%). Occiput was the commonest site involved in AA (36.8%) followed by vertex (27.6%). 30% of the patients gave a past history of AA and 21.7% gave a family history of AA. 15% of AA patients had history of atopy. Nail changes were found in 30% of patients. 5% of AA patients had associated vitiligo. On microscopic examination of plucked hair early dystrophic anagen hair predominated (70%) as against (16.7%) of dystrophic telogen hair.

Conclusions: The clinical characteristics of alopecia areata throws light from a data sparse geographical region but warrants further detailed studies for improved understanding.

Vibration related white finger disease: a case report
Authors: KURTUL Seher , TÜRK Meral
Published: May 2018

Vibration related white finger
disease is frequently observed in workers exposed to hand-arm vibration. The
main occupational exposure sources for hand-arm vibration are grinding, road
and concrete breaking, using of grinding wheel, rotary saw, high pressure water
hose, pneumatic hammer, drill, hammer, hand crusher, lawn mower, road roller. A
38-year-old male patient was admitted to our occupational disease clinic with
complaints of pain on both fingertips, swelling on the fingers and occasional
whitening of the fingers on both hands. There was a story of pneumatic hammer
use in a private firm that produced heat resistant plate for 12 years and also
work story in the same company for 2 years in the grinding department. The case
was considered to be a white finger disease due to vibration with current
findings and work history, and medical treatment for white finger disease was
regulated. It has been suggested that the patient should do job change, work in
a non-cold environment, and also avoid work that can cause vibration. This case
who exposed hand-arm vibrations shows the importance of taking a detailed work
history while taking an anamnesis. In screening the health effects of the
hand-arm vibration, the complaints of white finger disease should be carefully
questioned and examined. Vibration-related white finger disease, as in other
occupational diseases, can be protected by taking effective measures at the
workplace.
In Dogs That Have Had Intussusception Does Enterοplication Prevent Recurrence?
Authors: Kormpou Foteini , Adamantos Sophie
Published: May 2018

Clinical bottom line

The number of published primary papers on enteroplication as a preventative surgical procedure for recurrent intussusception is currently low with a relatively small number of cases reported in the studies. The studies did not demonstrate a statistical difference in the recurrence rate with or without the procedure although there was a consistent trend for a reduction in the recurrence rate with enteroplication.

Enterοplication has also been associated with severe complications, thus surgeοns must weigh the risk of recurrent intussusception against the risk of complications with enterοplication. More definitive conclusions cannot be made until higher quality evidence is available on the tοpic.

From the papers identified from the search functions used for the clinical question remission in uncontrolled trials was reported following prednisolone treatment. Details of which can be found in other sections of this paper.

  
In an Adult Horse With Severe Asthma (Previously Recurrent Airway Obstruction) Does Using Inhaled Corticosteroids Result in an Equal Improvement in Clinical Signs When Compared to Systemic Corticosteroids?
Authors: Jocelyn Natasha A
Published: May 2018

PICO question

In an adult horse with severe asthma (previously recurrent airway obstruction (RAO)) does using inhaled corticosteroids result in an equal improvement in clinical signs when compared to systemic corticosteroids?
Clinical bottom line

The level of confidence in the outcomes from the body of evidence in the 4 papers identified is high. This suggests inhaled corticosteroids (fluticasone and beclomethasone) when used at an appropriate dose can have equivalent effects on severe equine asthma as systemic intravenous dexamethasone. Inhaled corticosteroids can take longer to have the desired effects. 

  
Improving Social Work Student Competence in Practice With Older Adults Affected by Substance Misuse: Spotlight on the Bronx
Authors: Sarabia Stephanie Elias , McGovern Justine
Published: May 2018

Through the lens of a case study, this article suggests ways to increase social work student competence in gerontology and substance abuse treatment to better meet needs of growing numbers of diverse clients in urban settings. Focusing on a client residing in the Bronx, New York, it explores how changing demographics and a lack of workforce preparedness can combine in an urban context to increase risks for older adults and reduce quality of life in late life. Aiming to reduce knowledge and service gaps, suggestions are made on how to improve social work student competence. These include interpreting client cases through a theoretical framework to deepen understanding about the intersection of advancing age and substance use and improving treatment skills.
Comparación experimental entre el mínimo separable y el mínimo legible de Snellen
Authors: Merchán de Mendoza Gabriel
Published: May 2018

Los optotipos de Snellen, comúnmente usados para determinar la agudeza visual en la consulta ordinaria de optometría, son así mismo utilizados para evaluar los resultados de las diferentes cirugías refractivas. Si bien en el primer caso son adecuados, es posible que no lo sean tanto para el segundo, por lo cual conviene ir a los fundamentos en que se basan los diseños de Snellen como son el mínimo separable y el mínimo legible. Objetivo: establecer una comparación entre el mínimo separable y el mínimo legible en una población de personas con problemas indeterminados de la visión de grado bajo o medio. Metodología: 24 ojos de personas entre 7 y 60 años de edad con estados refractivos indeterminados, fueron escogidos para realizar la comparación consistente, en primer término, en la observación de dos pequeños puntos luminosos (0,3 mm diámetro) separados por una distancia gradualmente variable, para reportar el momento en que puedan ser diferenciados y, en segundo término, para la medición de la agudeza visual con optotipos Snellen. Resultados: se realizó un análisis estadístico de las dos muestras pareadas con nivel de confianza de 95% (alfa 5%). Conclusiones: la hipótesis nula que establece que el promedio de mediciones de agudeza visual con los optotipos Snellen es igual al promedio de mediciones con la separación entre los puntos luminosos no puede ser rechazada.

Authors: Henao Calderón José Luis , Camacho Montoya Marcela
Published: May 2018

Objective: to determine the prevalence of visualmotor and visualperceptual dysfunctions in children between 5 and 9 years of Fontibón, Puente Aranda and Usaquén towns. Methods: it was made a transversal descriptive study in which were evaluated 128 patients with the TVPS-3 and Beery VMI tests. The statistic analysis was done by contingency charts, chi square y association degree with Rho Spearman´s correlation coefficient Results: the prevalence of visual- motor dysfunctions was: 20.5% for Pablo Neruda school of Fontibon, 31.6% for España School of Puente Aranda y 8.7% for De La Salle School of Usaquén. The prevalence of visoperceptual dysfunctions was: 52.6% for Pablo Neruda School of Fontibon, 66.6% for España School of Puente Aranda y 14.2% for De La Salle School of Usaquén. The spearman´s rho showed that there is a low but significant correlation coefficient between the test results; it means that, as one test score high, the other one is high too. Conclusions: the prevalence of visualmotor and visualperceptual dysfunctions was major in Fontibón and Puente Aranda than Usaquén.
Insuficiencia de convergencia
Authors: Molina M. Nancy Piedad , Forero Mora Cindy
Published: May 2018

The purpose of this article is to review about convergence insufficiency, its definition, etiology, signs, symptoms and treatment. It was made an article search in data bases from 1980 to 2010. Convergence Insufficiency (CI) is one of the most common binocular vision problems and it has been defined as the inability to maintain an adequate convergence without effort. This is typically a benign and idiopathic condition that represents a lack of concordance between visual abilities and its near work demands, the main complaint is near vision asthenopia. The prevalence is 4.2% to 6%. Treatment involves the correction of any refractive error, and active therapy. The recommended treatment has three phases each one with different goals at home and office during 12 to 24 months depending on the variety of the condition, patient’s age and anomalous visual functions.

Authors: Coledam Diogo Henrique Constantino , Santos Douglas dos , Santos Júlio Wilson dos
Published: May 2018

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a potência anaeróbia antes e após o período competitivo em atletas profissionais de futebol. Participaram do estudo 25 atletas do gênero masculino avaliados antes e após o período competitivo. A potência anaeróbia foi avaliada através do teste de corridas de velocidade repetidas (RAST), com o qual foram determinadas a potência máxima (PMAX), potência média (PMED), potência mínima (PMIN) e o índice de fadiga (IF). O teste foi realizado na primeira (PRE) e na ultima (POS) sessão de treinamento do período competitivo, que teve a duração de 20 semanas. Não houve diferença significativa (p>0,05) entre PRE e POS em nenhum dos parâmetros analisados, PMAX (10,70 ± 0,95 vs 10,83 ± 0,87), PMIN (8,48 ± 0,92 vs 8,28 ± 0,76), PMED (9,52 ± 0,83 vs 9,41 ± 0,61) e IF (22,73 ± 7,48 vs 25,53 ± 8,79). Não há alteração significativa na potência anaeróbia após um período competitivo de 20 semanas em atletas profissionais de futebol.
Publicações sobre lutas e artes marciais em congressos de iniciação científica
Authors: Cazetto Fabiano Filier , Lollo Pablo Christiano
Published: May 2018

A Educação Física no Brasil passou por momentos históricos de restrição ou predominância em uma ou poucas manifestações da cultura. A partir de 80 isso começou a ser questionado e atualmente existe um início de diversificação de conteúdos que coloca as lutas e as artes marciais inseridas no contexto da área. O Objetivo desse artigo é demonstrar como a produção científica na Educação Física vem evoluindo nos últimos 12 anos, especialmente no que se refere a trabalhos sobre lutas e artes marciais. Para isso foram analisados os anais dos congressos de iniciação científica desse período. Foi possível detectar um aumento nas publicações da área como um todo e nos trabalhos específicos nas áreas de humanas e biológicas, os trabalhos de lutas e artes marciais também vem crescendo em ambas as áreas apesar de haver uma expressiva predominância nos trabalhos de biológicas. Assim como o discurso teórico a legislação e as publicações vêm caminhando no sentido da diversidade, neste caso particular incluindo as lutas e as artes marciais. Tal movimento dá subsidio ao trabalho com esses fenômenos dentro e fora da escola, o que é benéfico tanto para a área como um todo quanto para as manifestações específicas.

A pesquisa teve como objetivos realizar levantamento e analisar publicações em periódicos sobre os processos de ensino-aprendizagem em inglês no ensino fundamental, em periódicos indexados na base Google Scholar e SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). As análises se guiaram pela teoria sociointeracionista e pelas diretrizes do ensino de segunda língua. Os artigos analisados são do período de 2012 a 2016 de periódicos de relevância das áreas de línguas na interface com a psicologia da educação e possibilitaram organizar as informações com incidência nas subtemáticas Interação nas ações pedagógicas, Elementos da linguagem e linguísticos, Material didático e Recursos tecnológicos. Esse levantamento é ilustrativo do baixo interesse no estudo de processos de ensino-aprendizagem de inglês no ensino fundamental. Considera-se a relevância da temática e a necessidade da continuidade de pesquisas que possam evidenciar o interesse da comunidade acadêmica e das políticas públicas no letramento dos alunos do ensino fundamental.
O manual escolar de Língua Portuguesa do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico: inquietações em torno da desigualdade de género na escola
Authors: Samagaio Florbela
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo fundamental alertar para a desigualdade de género que poderá estar presente nos manuais escolares. Essa sensibilização para o tema afigura-se-nos pertinente na medida em que, em Portugal, existe um dispositivo legislativo e normativo, relativamente sólido, que procura prevenir esse tipo de situação. Contudo, na nossa opinião, não será suficiente. Nesse sentido, o artigo propõe como paradigma pedagógico adequado à escola da sociedade moderna o paradigma do professor como profissional reflexivo, crítico e problematizador, sendo este o principal interlocutor do discurso pedagógico oficial junto das crianças. O artigo apresenta uma análise de conteúdo realizada ao Manual de Língua Portuguesa do 4º ano de escolaridade do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, inspirada na metodologia proposta por vários autores, entre eles Eugénio Brandão. nos anos 70 em Portugal, a partir da qual se poderá verificar o desequilíbrio na veiculação das imagens no feminino e no masculino assim como a sugestão de criação de territórios simbólicos de significados assentes nos estereótipos de género. A análise é efetuada ao nível das imagens e ao nível dos textos e conclui que existe uma significativa desigualdade de género no referido material de estudo. A questão central que se coloca é que os manuais escolares integram a vida escolar e quotidiana das crianças, podendo conduzir à cristalização de ideias preconcebidas sobre o género através do processo de socialização.
Nurses’ Awareness Regarding Human Trafficking
Authors: Ramnauth Terrica , Benitez Mary , Logan Brandy , Abraham Samuel P. , Gillum Deborah
Published: May 2018

Problem: A review of the literature indicated that human trafficking is a worldwide problem and not all nurses in the healthcare setting were adequately trained to identify and care for human trafficking victims.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further explore nurses’ awareness regarding human trafficking.Method: This quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental study with a descriptive design, studied the issue by administering a survey to nurses actively working in the field. The theoretical framework of forced labor and Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory were used to guide the study. The data were collected using SurveyMonkey®, an Internet-based confidential data-collection tool. The survey contained eight demographic questions and sixteen Likert-type statements. The researchers obtained personal email addresses and used Facebook contacts to send out the survey initially. In this study, a Snowball sampling was used to obtain nurse participants.Results: A total of 166 responses were received from nurses across the United States. The results confirmed that there is a lack of awareness among nurses about human trafficking. An increase in both training and education amongst nurses could increase the number of victims, which go unnoticed, being saved or provided with assistance. Nurses also must be more self-aware about the patients they are encountering and be more observant of signs that look suspicious. The most agreed upon statement by participants was that counseling should be available to people who are affected by human trafficking (M = 3.75, SD = 0.48).
No romperé jamás ml alianza con vosotros (Jue 2,1)
Authors: MIHALOVICI Sor Ionel
Published: May 2018

God's Covenant with men contitutes the essence of Revelation. The first text to give account of a Covenant is the narration of Creation and the last one appears in the Gospels, when Jesus announces the New Covenant through his blood. Nevertheless, there are not two covenants, an Old one and a New one. In the Bible, the different narrations of covenants are a renewal of the unique Covenant. It's man who is summoned to change his attitude in order to answer, always in a more profound way, to God's call.
