El realce: Algunos recursos para realzar en textos multimodales
Authors: Vergara Heidke Adrián
Published: July 2018

En todo texto escrito u oral existen elementos que se destacan más que los otros; a este fenómeno o recurso lo denominamos “realce”. El realce se entiende como la ubicación prominente perceptiva o semántica de elementos semióticos dentro de un texto (Vergara-Heidke, 2012). A partir de la propuesta para conceptualizar y estudiar el realce, en este artículo se presentan y explican los recursos identificados en el análisis de noticias televisivas sobre delincuencia en Costa Rica. Estos recursos permiten mostrar el proceso metodológico y argumentativo para su estudio; además, el artículo ofrece nuevas herramientas para el trabajo con textos multimodales.
Configuración y transfiguración del poder: Escuela de mandarines de Miguel Espinosa
Authors: Lin Ching-Yu
Published: July 2018

El pensamiento literario de Miguel Espinosa gira en torno al discurso del Poder, que revela la sociedad española durante el franquismo. Escuela de mandarines, la obra más representativa del autor murciano, narra en forma de ensayo la omnipresencia del Poder. El presente estudio propone analizar la configuración y transfiguración del Poder desde tres perspectivas. Dada la complejidad de la estructura narrativa, la ambición por abarcar diversos géneros y recrear detalles de manera enciclopédica, muestra tanto un intento de universalismo como un efecto de reduccionismo irónico. Aparte de ello, el lenguaje con el que se relata la historia se considera una forma de arreglar las cuentas por medio de la exégesis y manifestaciones. El libro total, repleto de parodias, esboza un mundo antiutópico en que el retorno de la represión del Poder desemboca en la desesperanza.

The affective and behavioral responses to repeated “strength snacks”
Authors: Buckner SL , Dankel SJ , Mattocks KT , Jessee MB , Mouser JG , Loenneke JP
Published: July 2018

Background

A training program consisting of only one-repetition maximum (1RM) training results in similar strength adaptations as traditional resistance exercise. However, little is known regarding the affective or behavioral responses to this type of training.

Aim

To examine the affective and behavioral response to either a traditional resistance exercise program or a biweekly 1RM-training program.

Methods

Participants were trained for 8 weeks (2× per week). The HYPER group completed four sets of 8–12 repetitions; the 1RM group (TEST) worked up to a single maximal repetition.

Results

The TEST group felt more revitalized and had an increase in positive engagement during their first visit, whereas the HYPER group showed an increase in feelings of physical exhaustion during their first and last visits. There were no pre to post differences for the change in behavior or self-efficacy between groups.

Conclusion

1RM training appears to elicit a more favorable affective response, compared with HYPER training, which may ultimately improve adherence to resistance-type exercise.
Effect of one bout of local vibration exercise with blood flow restriction on neuromuscular and hormonal responses
Authors: Chen W-C , Wu C-M , Cai Z-Y
Published: July 2018

This study aimed to investigate the effects of single local vibration (LV) with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on muscle activity and hormonal responses. A total of 12 physically inactive males were exposed to 10 sets of intermittent LV (35–40 Hz) on unilateral mid-quadriceps in the supine lying position and LV + BFR (inflated to 140 mmHg) sessions in a repeated-measures randomized crossover design, with a 1-week interval separating the sessions. The results indicated that the electromyography values from the rectus femoris during LV + BFR were greater than those during LV (p < 0.05). LV + BFR caused a minor increase in the lactate (LA) response (p < 0.05); LV with or without BFR failed to elicit change in growth hormone (GH) and testosterone (T) levels (p > 0.05). Cortisol (C) levels were decreased postexercise in both the sessions (p < 0.05). In conclusion, BFR elicited higher increase in muscle activity and metabolic response, but it did not induce hormonal responses. The exposure of LV and LV + BFR may only have a relief effect as detected by the reduction in C levels, probably because the LV did not elicit sufficient stimulus to the muscles.

Published: July 2018

Banana is a really chilling injury sensitive product. Its sensitivity to cold temperatures generates serious practical, economical and commercial problems. Chilling injury related physiological responses of Cavendish type green banana samples stored at 2.5, 5, 10 °C and near optimal (15 °C) cold storage temperature were investigated by nondestructive optical methods (surface color and chlorophyll fluorescence measurement, DA-index® evaluation) and by the determination of the physiological reactions (respiration, ethylene production, symptom manifestation) during cold storage and the 8-day long subsequent shelf-life. The positive effects of low temperature storage were proven on mass loss, respiration and ethylene production. In case of bananas stored at 2.5–10 °C, the chilling injury related changes in chlorophyll content related DA-index®, IR-values; Fm and Fv chlorophyll fluorescence values, the L*, a*, b*, C* and hue angle color characteristics suggested clearly from day 3 the onset of chilling injury several days before the visible signs of chilling injury appeared.

Authors: Prima Eka C , Putri Chika L , Sudargo Fransisca
Published: July 2018

Solar system is an abstract phenomenon that needs to understand by junior high school students. The phenomenon cannot be observed directly in the classroom. In this research, the role-play model is first proposed to provide analogical phenomenon combined by Stellarium as an astrophysical virtual laboratory to give better visualization of Solar System Model. Role-play is a part of psychodrama used as a learning method to help students understand some aspects of science. However, the best strategy on this approach needs to be further investigated. The research attempts to improve students’ understanding on learning solar system. The role-play model is applied before or after using Stellarium virtual observatory as pre and post role-play learning designs, respectively. This research employed quasi-experimental method. The method used in this research is experimental with pretest-posttest design. There are three types of instrument used in this research. There are objective test, rubric, and questionnaire. The quantitative data of this research was collected by objective test (pretest-posttest), while the qualitative data is used to describe students’ performance and students’ responds in role-play. The result shows that there are statistically significant between pre role-play and post role-play. The N-gain of students’ understanding improvement on post role-play was 0.40 and pre role-play was 0.18. The result is confirmed by students’ performance and responds implying that students need learning concept previously so that they can perform role-play effectively.

Authors: Jordán Buenaño Jeanette Elizabette , Mayorga Naranjo Nelson Eduardo
Published: July 2018

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la aplicación del régimen de visitas tras la separación entre padres, para determinar el incumplimiento del régimen de visitas por parte de las madres que tienen la tenencia de los hijos. El estudio se centra en la ciudad de Ambato, el método utilizado fue a partir de reflexiones teóricas y jurídicas sobre las sanciones que aplican los jueces cuando las madres incumplen las visitas, así como también entrevistas y estudio de casos. Se ha podido concluir que el régimen de visitas, al parecer se ha convertido en una institución utilizada por las madres para ejercer medidas coercitivas contra los padres. Se considera la existencia del síndrome de alienación parental como forma de maltrato hacia los hijos y propone la posibilidad de la mediación familiar como medida pacífica y eficaz de ayuda para que los padres puedan mantener el contacto con los hijos, logrando mitigar el conflicto que al parecer la justicia ordinaria no logra solucionar, por la complejidad de los problemas intrínsecos que no se reflejan en un proceso judicial.

Análisis Comparado de una Sentencia Relativa al Estado Social de Derecho del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia Venezolano (TSJ) y la Corte Constitucional Colombiana (CCC)
Authors: Manzo Ugas Gustavo Alberto
Published: July 2018

Esta investigación del Estado Social de Derecho desde la perspectiva comparada entre la República de Colombia y la República Bolivariana de Venezuela1, se lleva a cabo mediante una revisión teórica de sus características y elementos fundamentales (micro análisis), pero sobre todo los profundiza por cuanto en la revisión jurisprudencial se utiliza la analogía como método de razonamiento, hecho que puntualiza la temática mencionada. Por supuesto, es evidente que la inquietud científica surge de la situación jurídica y política que sucede en Venezuela, por ello recurrir al análisis comparado con un país vecino unido por diferentes lazos de toda índole, cobra sentido; porque son repúblicas con un origen común, tienen una historia desarrollada en muchos aspectos al unísono como también unas condiciones geográficas, políticas, sociales y económicas parecidas. Lo más relevante es que al sopesar los resultados podrá establecerse qué camino va tomando cada ordenamiento jurídico en uno de los tópicos más relevantes y que ocupa mayor espacio en la Ciencia Política y el Derecho: la democracia. Puede afirmarse que en Colombia hay un Estado de Derecho vigente mientras que en Venezuela la praxis jurisprudencial ha superado este concepto.
Study of antiangiogenic activity of “aqueous extract of Nigella sativa seeds” in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model
Authors: Kota Karunakar , Sharma Sandhya , Ragavendhra P.
Published: July 2018

Background: Angiogenesis is important for the typical physiological activities such as cure from injury, menstrual cycle and embryo growth. It is also plays a crucial role in several pathological conditions in cancer. Antiangiogenesis, e.g., inhibition of blood vessel growth, is being investigated as a way to prevent the growth of tumors and other angiogenesis-dependent diseases. The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is commonly used as an experimental in vivo assay to study both angiogenesis and antiangiogenesis in response to tissues, cells or soluble factors. Given the high occurrence of cancer worldwide and the major source of the discovery of new lead molecules are medicinal plants. The objective of the present research was to study the antiangiogenic property of “aqueous extract of Nigella sativa seeds” using chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assayMethods: The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay for screening the effect of Nigella sativa on anti-angiogenesis was performed according to the method given by Ribatti and co-workers.Results: The results of present study significantly increased the antiangiogenic effect on CAM by decreasing the proliferation of capillary networks in a dose (50 to 300 µg/egg) dependent manner which is probably related to the inhibition of neovascularization.Conclusions: It is concluded that aqueous extract of N. sativa seeds possesses significant antiangiogenic activity, and this is a possible rationale for its folkloric use as an anticancer agent.

Authors: Anwar M. Mohamed , A. Jesudoss , P. Thirumalaikolundusubramanian
Published: July 2018

Background: Nasal septal deviation is of both congenital and traumatic etiology, found among children and adults and many of whom require corrective surgery. Recently endoscopy assisted nasal septal correction surgery is being performed in many centers as a preferred one. Hence it was decided to find out the postoperative outcomes among those who underwent both the types of surgical procedures.

Methods: A total of 50 patients with septal deviation underwent conventional surgery and another 50 operated with endoscopy assisted method were considered for this study. Both groups were followed up for postoperative outcomes and relief of symptoms after 48 hours, 8 weeks and 24 weeks for statistical analysis.  

Results: Head ache, watering of eyes and nasal obstruction were found significantly less in endoscopy assisted nasal septal correction during the first 48 hours and 8 weeks when compared with conventional surgery and it became negligible after 24 weeks of postoperative period.

Conclusions: Endoscopy assisted surgery is convenient in targeting the surgical site with less trauma and less requirement of time to perform the surgery. However, the initial cost would be higher for installation of endoscopy and maintenance.

Development of a multiuser system web-interface as a tool of using mathematical packages for solving engineering tasks
Authors: Danilenko A. N. , Zhdanov I. A.
Published: July 2018

Creating web-applications is illustrated by an example of developing a multiuser web-interface for the computer-aided search of solving systems of non-linear equations in the Django package. The automated system is implemented in the Python programming language. Creation of a web application is proposed based on the client-server technology, where the client part implements the user interface, forms requests to the server and processes the responses from it. The server part receives the request from the client, performs the necessary calculations, then forms a web page and sends it to the client online. The developed application is designed for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The system has the ability to solve systems of equations of any dimensionality, save the solutions on the server and the PC, and to visualize the step-by-step process of solving and plotting. The system efficiency was tested on real data. For example, gas turbine engine parameters were calculated and the obtained results were used to design a 3D model of a gas turbine engine

Published: July 2018

The biological module BINOM is a platform for multi-purpose biomedical space experiments with a wide range of biological objects (bacteria, algae, fungi, plants, multicomponent ecosystems). It was designed as a payload for SamSat nanosatellites and can be easily mounted on any other space vehicle. The module consists of three main blocks a sealed chamber for biological objects, a life support system, a system of control and measurement supporting scientific data acquisition and pre-processing. The BiNOM interacts with the electronic systems of the nanosatellite with the help of a single four-pin connector. The life support system maintains the required temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture composition in the chamber of the biological object. The control system makes it possible to carry out biomedical experiments in the automatic mode according to a specified program or by commands from the ground control post. The control system is designed to measure the parameters of the environment and the biological object. The module supports visualization of objects in the UV-VIS-IR spectral range, fluorescence analysis, temperature and humidity measurement at several points, pressure, concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Additional sensors can be used depending on the goals of the experiment. A module prototype was made and a number of tests were carried out to confirm the adequacy of the engineering solutions proposed. In particular, the vacuum chamber tests showed that the pressure loss in the pressure hull does not exceed 20% per year. A number of biological experiments demonstrated the possibility of initialization, growth and life support of various biological objects during a long, up to two months, period.

Conventional foods are thefoods that is devoted to each country or specific culture which differ from one to another. However,maintaining the habitual dietary is not always possible. Thus, at a particular period of time changing the traditional diets due to the, cultural, social, economic and environmental factors impacts can be a real challenge. Consequently, alteration in traditional or conventional diets can lead to the ill-health conditions or an early death. Changing the traditional habit and replacing it with modern diet can seriously impairs body physiological regulatory functions at different body organs. As result, short – term or long – term ill-health can be the outcome of consuming un-healthy diet in various unexpected states. Nonetheless, consuming habitual food is not always possible and so using a healthy and an uncomplicated food (i.e., a piece of brown bread with cheese, vegetable and some fruits) can have positive impact on overall health and general well-being this kind of the occasions. Individual also are needed to be educated from early life that required worldwide andglobal attempts.

O presente estudo discute as percepções que o público de visitação estimulada, oriundo de comunidades de baixo poder aquisitivo e/ou baixo capital cultural, desenvolve a partir da visita ao Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins. Descreve também o seu perfil sociodemográfico, cultural e econômico. Toma como referência os conceitos de inclusão social, experiência e empoderamento, bem como uma tipologia de público de museus, que envolve o aspecto de autonomia sociocultural do indivíduo em relação ao evento ao qual ele se expõe. O instrumento de pesquisa foi um questionário autoadministrado a 1.258 visitantes, contendo questões sobre o perfil e parâmetros atitudinais de interesse e de motivação, relacionados ao conceito de empoderamento. Conclui-se que o empoderamento se dá pela associação entre as percepções de ganhos cognitivos e de aplicabilidade destes ao mundo social do visitante no nível de suas relações pessoais e de suas relações com as esferas sociais mais externas. As ações de inclusão social em museus devem se materializar como uma política institucional.
Cross-cultural comparison: piloting an analytical framework
Authors: Prowse Jacqueline
Published: July 2018

With the proliferation of international education initiatives, research into the transfer of pedagogy across cultures is essential to ensure that quality education is delivered in a culturally accessible form. One of the factors impeding such research is the lack of widely accepted theoretical frameworks (Dimmock & Walker, 2005). This paper examines the development and effectiveness of a cross cultural framework that was used to compare a Business program at a Canadian College with its branch campus in Qatar (Prowse & Goddard, 2010). Findings are compared to results in the literature to gauge the robustness of the framework. The framework developed in the study was found to be a helpful means of allowing a comparison of pedagogy across two cultures.
Indigenous Access to Skilled Jobs in the Canadian Forest Industry: The Role of Education
Authors: Cahill Ian G
Published: July 2018

In this article, the effect of education on the skill level of jobs held by Indigenous people working in the Canadian forest industry is examined. A skill index based on detailed occupation is used as the dependent variable in ordered logit models estimated using data from Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). Results are obtained by gender. In the case of men, for Métis (a specific mixed European and Indigenous culture) and for First Nations living off reserve estimates of the effect of education are similar to those for non-Indigenous people. The estimated effect is lower for those Indigenous people living on reserve, particularly for those whose employment is also on the reserve. Results for women are similar, though often not statistically significant due to the limited sample size. High school graduation appears insufficient to provide access to better jobs, whereas post-secondary education, including trade certificates and community college, is very effective. The article concludes with a suggestion that, while closing the lag in Indigenous rates of high school education is critical, this must provide a gateway to further education. A discussion provides more policy context.

The article is devoted to revision of a problem of formation of the emotional-volitional culture of future policemen in the course of vocational training. It is predetermined by the increase of intensity and force of stressful factors which influence negatively on their mentality, moral and physical state during performance of professional duties. At the stage of theoretical development of a problem was made a hypothesis that formation of emotional-volitional culture of future policemen will be effective if in the course of their vocational training provide the following issues: 1) development of resistant motivation in cadets to mastering emotional-volitional culture as professionally significant quality; 2) application of pedagogical tools in educational process (forms, methods, means) which requires demonstration of emotions and volitional qualities of the personality; 3) stimulation of cadets to self-improvement of emotional-volitional culture. For testing the made hypothesis were used the following methods: theoretical (philosophical, psychological and pedagogical analysis with the purpose of conceptual construct determination and grounds of pedagogical conditions of formation of emotional-volitional culture of future policemen); empirical (questioning, testing, conversations, polls, pedagogical experiment); mathematical statistics (arithmetic mean of , Pearson criterion χ?). 358 cadets from Kharkiv National University ofInternal Affairsparticipated in a research. They formed the experimental group (180 persons) and the control group (178 persons).Results. The efficiency of pedagogical conditions implementation of formation of the emotional-volitional culture of future policemen in the course of vocational training was proved during the experimental work which included classes, extracurricular educational activities, in particular, the educational club «Fan of extreme» and also practical training of cadets. In a general number of cadets with the high level of formation of emotional-volitional culture in the experimental group increased by 30% whereas in a control group the appropriate increase was only 12%. At the same time, the number of cadets with the low level of formation of emotional-volitional culture decreased in the experimental group by 24%, in control group by 18%.Conclusions. Defined pedagogical conditions of formation of the emotional-volitional culture of future policemen were checked by scientific experiment and could be realized in the course of vocational training at the higher education establishments of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
Caracterización y comparación del escaneo visual de pilotos expertos y novatos durante un aterrizaje VFR
Authors: Martínez José Luis
Published: July 2018

Este artículo tiene como propósito divulgar los resultados experimentales de un proyecto de investigación donde se realizó la caracterización y posteriormente la comparación de los patrones de escaneo visual de un grupo de pilotos expertos y novatos en la cabina de un simulador de vuelo durante los últimos dos minutos de la fase de aproximación y aterrizaje en condiciones visuales. Se seleccionó de manera aleatoria a un grupo de integrantes de la escuela de aviación de la Universidad RMIT de Melbourne, Australia, durante el tercer trimestre del año 2016; asimismo, el experimento contó con un equipo de rastreo ocular Tobii2. El estudio fue de tipo cuantitativo ex post facto, el cual examinó hasta qué punto las variables independientes: “Experiencia del piloto” y “condiciones de vuelo” afectan las variables dependientes de interés relacionadas con las métricas obtenidas por el equipo de rastreo ocular. Con los resultados obtenidos se realizaron análisis de estadística inferencial de tipo correlacional y de diferencias significativas. Se evidenció una correlación positiva entre la experticia del piloto y el número de visitas a determinados instrumentos de vuelo y áreas de la cabina, diferencias entre el tiempo empleado por los dos grupos en distribuir su atención visual fuera y dentro de la aeronave, así como variaciones entre el tiempo empleado en prestar atención a instrumentos primarios en condiciones de vuelo óptimas y degradadas. La investigación contribuye a la comprensión del proceso de monitoreo en la fase de aproximación y aterrizaje en condiciones visuales desde una perspectiva cuantitativa; adicionalmente, proporciona una serie de evidencias relacionadas con el proceso de escaneo de los pilotos dentro y fuera de la cabina en función de la experticia y condiciones de vuelo, que previamente no había sido abordado a través de esta metodología en un simulador de vuelo.
