ESTIMATING IMPACT OF SCHOOLING AND EXPERIENCE ON WAGE LEVEL USING SEMIPARAMETRIC REGRESSION METHOD
Authors: ÇELİK KEÇİLİ Merve , ESEN Ethem
Published: September 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki okullaşmanın ve deneyimin kazançlar üzerindeki etkisini Mincer kazanç modeli kullanılarak ortaya koymaktır. Bu model eğitimin ve deneyimin kazançlar üzerinde önemli belirleyici olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bu kapsamda çalışanlara ait okullaşma yılının ve deneyimin ücret seviyesi üzerindeki etkisi semiparametrik regresyon tahmini aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Okullaşma yılı, deneyim yılı, medeni hal ve cinsiyet değişkenleri Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu tarafından oluşturulan 2011 ve 2019 hane halkı bütçe istatistikleri mikro veri setinden alınarak modelde kullanılmıştır. Parametrik regresyon, modelin değişkenler arasındaki ilişki hakkında belli bir fonksiyonel bir forma sahip olmaması durumunda doğru sonuçlar vermemektedir. Bu problemin üstesinden gelmek için hem parametrik hem de nonparametrik değişkenlerin aynı modelde kullanılmasına imkan tanıyan semiparametrik regresyon yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar okullaşma yılının ücret düzeyini olumlu yönde etkilediğini ifade etmektedir. Deneyimin kazançlar üzerindeki etkisi belli bir döneme kadar pozitif olurken, bir süre sonra bu etki negatif bir seyir izlemektedir.
Fertirrigação da alface com esgoto doméstico tratado com biocarvão de bagaço de laranja
Authors:   , Souza Antonio Magno dos Santos
Published: September 2022

A escassez hídrica do planeta vem fomentando debates e pesquisas na busca de alternativas para o enfrentamento ou mitigação do problema. A utilização de água residuária tratada na agricultura irrigada se revela uma opção viável, por apresentar resultados expressivos em relação ao consumo da água, produtividade das culturas e economia de fertilizantes químicos. Porém, a presença dos microrganismos patógenos neste tipo de fonte hídrica é apontada pelos órgãos competentes, como um risco de saúde pública. Objetivou-se com a realização do presente trabalho estudar a capacidade de adsorção do biocarvão do bagaço da laranja, aplicando seus benefícios na agricultura irrigada. Para isso foi desenvolvido um sistema de tratamento terciário de baixo custo a partir do biocarvão. Objetivou-se também comparar os atributos físico-químicos e microbiológicos da água de irrigação com os limites estabelecidos pela legislação. Verificou-se o impacto da água residuária proveniente do sistema de filtragem no solo e nas características agronômicas e biológicas na cultura da alface. O biocarvão foi produzido em mufla e caracterizado por termogravimetria e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). O experimento foi conduzido em ambiente protegido, localizado na Universidade Federal de Sergipe. As lâminas de irrigação foram obtidas em função da evapotranspiração da cultura, utilizando o método direto. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, no arranjo fatorial 5 (lâminas de irrigação) x 5 (combinações de fontes hídricas e adubação), com três repetições. As características agronômicas analisadas foram a matéria fresca e seca, o número de folhas e a produtividade do uso da água. As características microbiológicas analisadas da cultura foram Salmonella sp. e Coliformes a 45 °C. Foi possível concluir que a utilização do biocarvão, como material filtrante, melhorou a qualidade microbiológica da água residuária. As fontes hídricas utilizadas na irrigação não promoveram alterações na salinidade do solo, considerando o período experimental utilizado. A fertirrigação utilizando água residuária que passou pelo sistema filtrante afetou positivamente as características agronômicas da alface, sem a necessidade da adubação de cobertura. As folhas das alfaces produzidas no experimento foram aceitáveis para o consumo humano, de acordo com os padrões da Resolução-RDC nº 12, de 2 de janeiro de 2001, da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA).

oferta da janela de Libras com múltiplos tradutores na obra fílmica “A Hora da Estrela”
Authors: De Souza Borges Lima Karina , Monteiro Carvalho Márcia
Published: September 2022

Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma análise da Tradução Audiovisual da Língua de Sinais (TALS) através da janela de Libras com múltiplos tradutores no filme “A Hora da Estrela”. Adotamos a perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2001; 2006) e orientações do “Guia para Produções Audiovisuais Acessíveis” (NAVES et al., 2016). A análise das categorias: a) semelhança física entre tradutor e personagem; b) indumentária dos tradutores, revelou que a escolha por tradutores de mesmo gênero é positiva na espectação, já a falta de semelhança física e uso de camisetas coloridas, sem vínculo estético com o figurino, pode gerar ruído à obra.

Análise da tradução da página Web do celular HUAWEI P30 Pro a partir da teoria dos atos de fala
Authors: Zhou Qian , Sun Yuqi
Published: September 2022

Na atual era digital e de globalização, as páginas de produtos nos websites empresariais são meio popular para a promoção de produtos aos consumidores de mercados estrangeiros. Assim, a tradução e o estudo delas tornam-se fundamentais para captar a atenção do público-alvo no exterior. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o conteúdo verbal escrito da página Web do celular HUAWEI P30 Pro tanto em chinês quanto em suas traduções de duas variantes de português, sendo a brasileira e a europeia. Por meio da construção de três corpora, a análise é realizada a partir de uma visão pragmática, usando a teoria dos atos de fala. Os resultados demonstram que, embora o efeito perlocutório de atrair e persuadir seja igual, a prática dos atos de fala apresenta maneiras distintas nos três corpora. A identificação desses atos pode contribuir para o entendimento das diferenças linguísticas e culturais e aumentar a eficácia da tradução do conteúdo verbal escrito da página de produto.
Lixo, vagabunda, piranha, puta e louca
Authors: Schmechel de Avila Suzana , Iost Vinhas Luciana
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo, com base na proposta teórico-analítica da Análise Materialista de Discurso, apresenta uma reflexão sobre a violência doméstica a partir de relatos-testemunho de mulheres que sofreram essa violência. Os relatos foram publicados pelo coletivo Filhas de Frida através da campanha Ajudem Aquela, a qual teve o objetivo de conscientizar sobre os efeitos da violência contra mulheres no âmbito doméstico. A descrição e a interpretação do corpus, composto por três sequências discursivas recortadas dos relatos, ancorou-se na análise de adjetivos usados para fazer referência às mulheres pelos seus parceiros, sendo o processo discursivo analisado pelo viés das determinações discursivas. Com o estudo, é possível concluir que a ideologia trabalha produzindo as evidências sobre o que é ser mulher, fazendo permanecer um universo semanticamente estabilizado sobre o comportamento feminino que atende à lógica dominante de exploração e opressão entre os gêneros.
Considerações a respeito da identidade da Terminologia como campo da Linguística
Authors: Pereira Castro Gabriel , Serra Luís Henrique
Published: September 2022

Este texto é um ensaio sobre o status da Terminologia como uma das ciências do léxico. É problematizado o fato de que uma visão descritivista no campo trouxe grandes avanços, no entanto, alguns outros problemas também decorrem daí, dentre eles o olhar para apenas um dos elementos da comunicação especializada, o léxico. Nesse sentido, entende-se a Terminologia como um campo amplo de estudos da comunicação no ambiente especializado e, por isso, todos os elementos desse fenômeno podem/devem ser estudados, o que amplia o âmbito dos estudos terminológicos. São consideradas, no texto, discussões sobre o desenvolvimento dos campos científicos, além de algumas ideias dentro da própria Terminologia que veem a prática de estudos terminológicos a partir de uma reflexão dialógica e comunicativa. Tais ideias são retomadas aqui na direção de demonstrar que alguns estudos terminológicos, muito embora não foquem apenas no léxico, podem também ser reconhecidos como terminológicos. Por fim, o grande objetivo do texto é apresentar novos possíveis caminhos e lançar luz sobre algumas reflexões epistemológicas sobre a Terminologia, buscando sempre sua ampliação e qualidade como campo de análise do discurso especializado.

Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a construção discursiva da identidade do indivíduo financeiramente educado em um livro do material didático da Estratégia Nacional de Educação Financeira para o ensino médio. Para tanto, utilizamos o quadro teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso Crítica (ADC). Adotamos como categoria de análise linguística as unidades lexicais que fazem referência a ações e projetos dos sujeitos. Nossos resultados demonstram que a construção identitária do jovem financeiramente educado é perpassada pela individualização dos problemas e desafios, atribuindo unicamente ao sujeito a responsabilidade pelas escolhas que vão determinar seu próprio bem-estar financeiro, de sua família e da sociedade.
Pragmatics, representation and minorities
Authors: Lira Edvaldo Santos de , Ferreira Barbara Cabral
Published: September 2022

This paper aims at analyzing the American TV series Glee, in order to reflect on how the face, maxims, rules and strategies of the Politeness Theory are presented before characters who are read as part of a minority group, compared to characters seen as a majority and relies mainly on the contributions of scholars such as Thomas (1995) and Yule (1996) and their study in the field of Pragmatics; and Brown and Levinson (1987) and their investigation on politeness. We also rely on reflections by authors who discuss representation, language, and meaning (HALL, 1997; JODELET, 2001; MOSCOVICI, 2000; SOARES, 2007). Our corpus is composed of excerpts from three episodes of the series that were analyzed from a qualitative-interpretative perspective. Glee is a TV show that represents multiple realities through fiction and the excerpts selected allow us to reflect on the discrepancies in the interactions that involve characters considered to be a minority compared to characters read as a majority. As a result of our analysis, it became evident that politeness, highlighted in the excerpts, was primarily used towards characters considered the majority. Concerning minority groups, impoliteness, mainly displayed by the principal and the teacher, prevailed.

Postpartum gangrenous cystitis is a rare condition with only a few reported cases in the literature. We report a case of a 26-year-old lady who developed gangrenous cystitis and perforation 48 hours after a prolonged labour when she presented in urinary retention and sepsis. Computerised Tomography (CT) scans revealed ascites. With clinical signs of peritonitis, emergency diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, identifying the bladder perforation. The procedure was converted to laparotomy and necrotic bladder tissue was excised and bladder was repaired. We highlight the important learning points from the case and review the current literature on aetiology, diagnostic challenges and management of this rare complication.

However, of course, there are obstacles to the implementation of industrial relations mediation policies, including the lack of industrial relations mediators, the unavailability of a particular mediation room, mediators who double as structural officials.
Quoted Equity Investments and Financial Performance of Pension Funds in Kenya
Authors: Boyante Roba , Muturi Willy , Gekara Mouni
Published: September 2022

Purpose: This study is inspired by the need to investigate the contribution of quoted equity to financial performance of pension funds in Kenya

Methodology:  The study used a descriptive research design with data collection form used to gather secondary data. The target population for this study was 1,258 registered schemes as per RBA as of 31 December 2021. The sample consisted of 294 registered schemes. Secondary data was obtained from the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) for the study variables for the six-year period between 2016- 2021. The data was subjected to diagnostic tests and analyzed using multiple linear regression method.

Findings: Regression results on the influence of quoted equity on the performance of pension funds shows that the coefficient had a negative and significant impact on performance of firms, p value 0.000 which was smaller than 0.05 level of significance. This shows that quoted equity had a negative impact on the performance of firms. In addition, 16.6% of the variation in performance of firms is explained by quoted equity. The study findings echo policy discourses suggesting that quoted equity investments may be riskier and therefore need for increased risk premium to cushion investors against increased risks

Unique Contributions to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study validates the modern portfolio theory whose premise is selection and construction of asset portfolios to maximize the portfolio expected return and the concurrently minimize the attendant risk. The study can help policy makers such as Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) in Kenya review investment ceilings imposed on quoted equity The trustees and fund managers can use the study findings to determine proportion of quoted equity investments in the investment policy that is optimal given risk characteristic of quoted equity as an asset class.

Benefits of Drilling Repetition in Enhancing Second Language Learners’ Speaking Ability
Authors: Mendrofa Melania , Wijaya Marchellina
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to analyze the significance of drilling repetition in enhancing second language learners' speaking ability. In learning a second language, some learners may overcome problems in saying words or sentences. In some cases, they also mispronounce the words. These can occur because of some problems, such as a lack of confidence, a lack of practice, and less feedback from the teacher. Based on this issue, this paper is concerned with the discussion of how the drilling technique can be a solution to the problem and its benefits to the students' speaking performance. This paper uses qualitative research analysis and a descriptive method to discuss the finding. The equipment that was implemented for this paper is journals and books. The benefits of drilling repetition are providing learners with intensive practice in hearing and saying particular word phrases. They can help with memorization and automation of common language patterns, providing the opportunity for learners to get immediate feedback, assisting learners in noticing the correct form or pronunciation of a word or phrase, which makes the learners speaking ability accurately, and building confidence. This paper finally points out that the benefits of adopting drilling repetition in enhancing second language learners' speaking ability are helpful to building learners' confidence and fluency in speaking the second language.

While arthralgia and myalgia are common in the disease course, frank myositis is exceedingly rare. Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), characterized by severe myositis. We report herein a case of prominent diffuse myositis with shared features of AAV and IMNM.
Critical decisions in hurricane evacuation bridge and roadway closures
Authors: Dixon, PhD Zachary , Drishti, MS Valecha
Published: September 2022

The closure of bridges and roadways during hurricanes can represent an abrupt end to evacuations for the residents of coastal barrier island. Despite the gravity of bridge and roadway closures during hurricane evacuations, their governing policies and practices in the United States are often opaque, poorly defined, or mired in confusion. The lack of clarity among bridge and roadway closure policy rationales and terminology, as well as their wide dissensus, may disrupt public compliance and participation in hurricane evacuations. This article argues for the application of critical decision methods (CDMs) analysis in hurricane evacuation bridge and roadways closures as a means of producing better, evidence-based policies and practices. Using CDM to study the decision-making of the experts responsible for the actual work of closing bridges and roadways in hurricane evacuations can help produce more detailed, evidence-based policies, more compelling communication about those policies, and greater public compliance in hurricane evacuations.

Published: September 2022

Healthcare acquired infections/HAIs (nosocomial infection) is a growing problem in developing and developed country around the world and one of the contributing factors in the increasing of morbidity, mortality and cost of treatment in hospital. One way to prevent HAIs is by increasing adherence of hand hygiene practice in healthcare workers, including nurses, especially in rooms with high risk of HAIs incidents. This study aims to understand the effect of health belief model (HBM) on the adherence of hand hygiene practice of nurses in rooms with high HAIs risk. A total number of 170 nurses who worked in high HAIs risk enrolled in this study. All nurses then asked to fill questionnaire which consist of demographic factors, experience, personal beliefs, cue to action, and self-efficacy. During this study, all nurses hand hygiene practice also observed directly by researcher. This study found that demographic factor, personal belief, cue to action and self-efficacy have no significant relationship with hand hygiene practice adherence (p>0.05), whilst modifying factor like experience shown to have significant relationship with adherence of hand hygiene practice (p<0.05). Demographic factor, personal belief, cue to action, and self-efficacy component of HBM can’t predict the adherence of hand hygiene practice. However, modifying factor in HBM such as experience can predict the adherence of hand hygiene practice.

Abstract. Except for excessive nutrient input and climate warming, the rapidly rising
SO42- concentration is considered as a crucial contributor to the
eutrophication in shallow lakes; however, the driving process and mechanism
are still far from clear. In this study, we constructed a series of
microcosms with initial SO42- concentrations of 0, 30, 60, 90, 120,
and 150 mg L−1 to simulate the rapid SO42- increase in Lake Taihu, China,
subjected to cyanobacteria blooms. Results showed that the sulfate reduction
rate was stimulated by the increase in initial SO42-
concentrations and cyanobacteria-derived organic matter, with the maximal
sulfate reduction rate of 39.68 mg (L d)−1 in the treatment of 150 mg L−1 SO42- concentration. During the sulfate reduction, the
produced maximal ∑S2− concentration in the overlying water and
acid volatile sulfate (AVS) in the sediments were 3.15 mg L−1 and 11.11 mg kg−1,
respectively, and both of them were positively correlated with initial
SO42- concentrations (R2=0.97; R2=0.92). The
increasing abundance of sulfate reduction bacteria (SRB) was also linearly
correlated with initial SO42- concentrations (R2=0.96),
ranging from 6.65×107 to 1.97×108 copies g−1.
However, the Fe2+ concentrations displayed a negative correlation with
initial SO42- concentrations, and the final Fe2+
concentrations were 9.68, 7.07, 6.5, 5.57, 4.42, and 3.46 mg L−1, respectively.
As a result, the released total phosphorus (TP) in the overlying water, to promote the
eutrophication, was up to 1.4 mg L−1 in the treatment of 150 mg L−1
SO42- concentration. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the
effect of rapidly increasing SO42- concentrations on the release
of endogenous phosphorus and the eutrophication in lakes.

Abstract. The processes involved in the exchange of water, energy and carbon in terrestrial ecosystems are strongly intertwined.
To accurately represent the terrestrial biosphere in land surface models (LSMs), the intrinsic coupling between these processes is required.
Soil moisture and leaf area index (LAI) are two key variables at the nexus of water, energy and vegetation.
Here, we evaluated two prognostic LSMs (ISBA and ORCHIDEE) and a diagnostic model (based on the LSA SAF, Satellite Application Facility for Land Surface Analysis, algorithms) in their ability to simulate the latent heat flux (LE) and gross primary production (GPP) coherently and their interactions through LAI and soil moisture. The models were validated using in situ eddy covariance observations, soil moisture measurements and remote-sensing-based LAI.
It was found that the diagnostic model performed consistently well, regardless of land cover, whereas important shortcomings of the prognostic models were revealed for herbaceous and dry sites.
Despite their different architecture and parametrization, ISBA and ORCHIDEE shared some key weaknesses.
In both models, LE and GPP were found to be oversensitive to drought stress. Though the simulated soil water dynamics could be improved, this was not the main cause of errors in the surface fluxes.
Instead, these errors were strongly correlated to errors in LAI.
The simulated phenological cycle in ISBA and ORCHIDEE was delayed compared to observations and failed to capture the observed seasonal variability.
The feedback mechanism between GPP and LAI (i.e. the biomass allocation scheme) was identified as a key element to improve the intricate coupling between energy, water and vegetation in LSMs.
Consistent responses of vegetation gas exchange to elevated atmospheric CO2 emerge from heuristic and optimization models

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration is expected
to increase leaf CO2 assimilation rates, thus promoting plant growth
and increasing leaf area. It also decreases stomatal conductance, allowing
water savings, which have been hypothesized to drive large-scale greening,
in particular in arid and semiarid climates. However, the increase in leaf
area could reduce the benefits of elevated CO2 concentration through soil
water depletion. The net effect of elevated CO2 on leaf- and
canopy-level gas exchange remains uncertain. To address this question, we
compare the outcomes of a heuristic model based on the Partitioning of
Equilibrium Transpiration and Assimilation (PETA) hypothesis and three model
variants based on stomatal optimization theory. Predicted relative changes in leaf-
and canopy-level gas exchange rates are used as a metric of plant responses
to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration. Both model approaches predict
reductions in leaf-level transpiration rate due to decreased stomatal
conductance under elevated CO2, but negligible (PETA) or no
(optimization) changes in canopy-level transpiration due to the compensatory
effect of increased leaf area. Leaf- and canopy-level CO2 assimilation
is predicted to increase, with an amplification of the CO2
fertilization effect at the canopy level due to the enhanced leaf area. The
expected increase in vapour pressure deficit (VPD) under warmer conditions is
generally predicted to decrease the sensitivity of gas exchange to
atmospheric CO2 concentration in both models. The consistent
predictions by different models that canopy-level transpiration varies
little under elevated CO2 due to combined stomatal conductance
reduction and leaf area increase highlight the coordination of
physiological and morphological characteristics in vegetation to maximize
resource use (here water) under altered climatic conditions.
Spring onset and seasonality patterns during the Late Glacial period in the eastern Baltic region

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Spring onset is an important phenological observation
that is sensitive to modern climate change and can be traced back in
geological time. The Late Glacial (∼ 14 500–11 700 cal yr BP)
spring onset and growing season (growing degree days) dynamics in the
eastern Baltic region were reconstructed using the micro-phenological
approach based on the dwarf birch (Betula nana) subfossil leaf cuticles. The presented
study sites, Lake Lielais Svetinu (eastern Latvia) and Lake Kosilase
(central Estonia), are located ∼ 200 km apart in the region
affected by the south-eastern sector of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. During
the Late Glacial period the region and its biota were influenced by the
retreating glacier and the different stages of the Baltic Ice Lake. The
plant macrofossil data confirm that the study sites were in different
vegetation zones (arctic-to-boreal) during the Late Glacial period. The
dynamics of the estimated length of the growing season and spring onset,
combined with the regional collection of plant macrofossil records, suggest
the importance of local settings to species migration. During the
Late Glacial warming period (Bølling–Allerød), a notable spring warming
and longer growing season was calculated based on micro-phenology, but the
treeline did not extend beyond central Estonia. The comparison of pollen-
and chironomid-inferred past temperature estimations with spring onset,
growing degree days, and plant macrofossil data shows coherent patterns
during the cooler Older Dryas and warmer Bølling–Allerød periods, while suggesting more complicated climate dynamics and possible warmer episodes during the Younger Dryas cold reversal.
Multifidelity Monte Carlo Estimation for Efficient Uncertainty Quantification in Climate-Related Modeling

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Uncertainties in an output of interest that depends on the solution of a complex system (e.g., of partial differential equations with random inputs) are often, if not nearly ubiquitously, determined in practice using Monte Carlo (MC) estimation. While simple to implement, MC estimation fails to provide reliable information about statistical quantities (such as the expected value of the output of interest) in application settings such as climate modeling for which obtaining a single realization of the output of interest is a costly endeavor. Specifically, the dilemma encountered is that many samples of the output of interest have to be collected in order to obtain an MC estimator having sufficient accuracy; so many, in fact, that the available computational budget is not large enough to effect the number of samples needed. To circumvent this dilemma, we consider using multifidelity Monte Carlo (MFMC) estimation which leverages the use of less costly and less accurate surrogate models (such as coarser grids, reduced-order models, simplified physics, interpolants, etc.) to achieve, for the same computational budget, higher accuracy compared to that obtained by an MC estimator or, looking at it another way, an MFMC estimator obtains the same accuracy as the MC estimator at lower computational cost. The key to the efficacy of MFMC estimation is the fact that most of the required computational budget is loaded onto the less costly surrogate models, so that very few samples are taken of the more expensive model of interest. We first provide a more detailed discussion about the need to consider an alternate to MC estimation for uncertainty quantification. Subsequently, we present a review, in an abstract setting, of the MFMC approach along with its application to three climate-related benchmark problems as a proof-of-concept exercise.
