Laser and TIG welding of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V parts
Authors: Sen Murat , Kurt Mustafa
Published: May 2022

Electron beam melting (EBM) is a powder bed additive manufacturing (AM) technology for small and medium-sized Ti-6Al-4V components. In this study, EBM-built Ti-6Al-4V tensile specimens were joined using tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and laser beam welding (LBW) to form large-scale components. Weld morphology, defects, mechanical properties, and microstructure of joints made by LBW and TIG welding were compared. It was found that the pore sensitivity of EBMed Ti-6Al-4V is extremely high. In EBM, the most common defect is pores, but this has been ignored as parts are broken at welding zone. Large pores are distributed along the edge of the weld in TIG welding, whereas in laser welding they are distributed at top of the weld. LBW has a much smaller grain size in the weld center than TIG welding. The TIG welded sample has more heat at the weld boundary. Mechanical properties of TIG welded parts were superior to laser welded parts. The main reason for this is that the weld cross section is larger than the center. In addition, in the microstructure examination of TIG welding, it was observed that the weld had fewer defects than laser welding. Also, the elongation of all specimens is very low.

Published: May 2022

Full-space metasurfaces demonstrate powerful abilities in manipulating electromagnetic (EM) waves, but most of them are usually single band. Here, a multiband bidirectional digital coding metasurface is proposed for multiple tasks, which can achieve completely different functions in up to six frequency bands when the EM waves are incident from the front and back of the metasurface. As a proof-of-concept, we design and fabricate a dual-band full-space metasurface with integrated functions of reflection, transmission, holographic imaging, and vortex-beam forming, and a six-band full-space metasurface with completely independent holographic imaging functions at different frequency bands. Simulated and measured results are in good agreements with the theoretical predictions, verifying the good performance of the proposed multitask bidirectional digital coding metasurface.

Authors: González-Gaxiola O. , Rach Randolph , Ruiz de Chávez Juan
Published: May 2022

In this article, we report for the first time the application of a novel and extremely valuable methodology called the Rach–Adomian–Meyers decomposition method (MDM) to obtain numerical solutions to the rotational pendulum equation. MDM is a tool for solving nonlinear differential equations that combines both series solution and the Adomian decomposition method efficiently. We present a simple and highly accurate MDM-based algorithm and its numerical implementation via a one-step recurrence approach for obtaining periodic solutions to the rotational pendulum equation. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique for both large and small amplitudes of oscillation.
On Two Sub-projections of the Nominal Extended Projection: Some Romance Evidence
Authors: Cinque Guglielmo
Published: May 2022

If cross-linguistic word order variation is a function of the movement of the head of each (sub)projection of an extended projection (in one of the possible ways movement can take place: with or without pied piping) there will be novel evidence for the correct constituencies of the clause and its major phrases. Here I will try to illustrate this by looking at two specific sub-projections of the nominal extended projection in a number of Romance languages: the sub-projection of locative adverbs and elevation and exteriority/interiority particles, and the sub-projection containing ‘other’, and ordinal and cardinal numerals.

Haraldsdottir, K, Sanfilippo, J, Dawes, S, and Watson, A. Contribution of lean mass distribution on aerobic fitness and performance in NCAA division I female rowers. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2022—The purpose of this study was to determine the relative influence of total lean body mass (LBM), body fat percentage (BF%), upper extremity lean mass (ULM), lower extremity lean mass (LLM), and trunk lean mass (TLM) on maximal aerobic capacity (V̇o
2max) and time to exhaustion (Tmax) in female collegiate rowers. One hundred seven female collegiate rowers (aged 18–22 years) performed maximal progressive rowing ergometer testing to determine V̇o
2max and Tmax. Body mass, LBM, BF%, ULM, LLM, and TLM were determined by using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Separate multivariable linear regression models were performed to predict V̇o
2max and Tmax by using LBM and BF% as predictors. In addition, separate linear regression models were used to predict V̇o
2max and Tmax with ULM, LLM, and TLM as covariates. Subjects were aged 20 ± 3 years. V̇o
2max was significantly predicted by LBM (r
2 = 0.29, p < 0.001), but not BF% (r
2 = 0.002, p = 0.79). Similarly, Tmax was significantly predicted by LBM (r
2 = 0.25, p < 0.001), but not BF% (r
2 = 0.003, p = 0.19). V̇o
2max was significantly predicted by LLM (r
2 = 0.12, p < 0.01), but not ULM (r
2 = 0.08, p = 0.68) or TLM (r
2 = 0.09, p = 0.17), and Tmax was significantly predicted by TLM (r
2 = 0.09, p = 0.02), but not ULM (r
2 = 0.07, p = 0.89) or LLM (r
2 = 0.08, p = 32). Among female collegiate rowers, whole body LBM is a significant predictor of both V̇o
2max and Tmax. However, LLM is a stronger predictor of V̇o
2max while TLM is a stronger predictor Tmax, although each of these relationships has a low coefficient of determination. These findings suggest that aerobic fitness and performance may be influenced by regions of lean mass differently.

Carbonaceous nano-chlorapatites have attracted great attention for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated environment. Herein, a novel biochar/graphene-supported chlorapatite (BC/G-ClAP) was successfully synthesized by a green method for the purpose of removing the Pb(Ⅱ) from the water. The generated BC/G-ClAP was characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that biochar had the mesoporous structure with the layers of graphene on biochar surfaces and chlorapatites were distributed on the surface of biochar/graphene. BC/G-ClAP showed excellent remediation performance towards Pb(Ⅱ) contaminated water, with the Pb(Ⅱ) removing efficiency of 80.29%. The high remediation was due to the porous biochar/graphene with plenty of functional group have the strong adsorption for the Pb(Ⅱ) ions and the chlorapatites showed the cation exchange with Pb(Ⅱ) to form the stable Pb10(PO4)6Cl2. Therefore, this green synthesis method and the novel composites have a great potential for the application of remediation in the contaminanted environment.

The aim of this work is to the basic concepts of the varies chemical and electrochemical procedures used m the fabrication of semiconductor devices seems to be useful to provide a suitable background for the present work, a brief review of the same as also the results obtained by earlier workers has been undertaken at the outset. A careful scrutiny of the results obtained by different workers reveals that although the aforesaid methods have a few limitations, they may be satisfice borily used as an alternative to sputter and evaporation techniques for device fabrication. The author carried out experimental investigations on the formation and properties of ohmic contact to silicon using two electroless plating baths - one operated at room temperature and the other at 95°C. In particular, the variation of contact resistance of ohmic contacts formed by electroless Ni-P process on silicon was studied as a function of sintering temperatures with operating point temperatures and pH of the baths as parameters. ^rom these studies it has been shown that both the baths yielded an adherent and dense deposit of nickel-phosphorous alloy on n-Si, which when sintered at very high temperatures give a less value of contact resistance due to the formation of metal-n -n contact. The phosphorous component of the Ni-P deposit diffuses into n-Si during heat treatment and forms the metal-n+ --n contact which behaves as an ohmic contact. As expected, the value of contact resistance was found to decrease with the increase of phosphorous materials in the deposit. The most favourable temperature range of heat treatment was found to be between 600°-700°C. Heats studying above 700°C slightly less increase the contact resistance probably due to the out diffusion of phosphorous from the Ni-P deposit. The barrier height and ideality factor are two important parameters for m-s contacts. The values of these two parameters of electrochemically fabricated Schottky diodes as obtained from the capacitance and current voltage characteristics were found to be in fairly close agreement with those of vacuumevaporated diodes. It is therefore, concluded that the electrochemical method of metal deposition is a valid and convenient technique for the fabrication and study of metalsemiconductor contacts

Seedling stage reactions of thirty-eight 2-rowed barley landraces representing different areas of Turkey obtained from Osman Tosun Gene Bank to two Pyrenophora teres f. teres isolates were evaluated. In addition, barley cultivars Bülbül 89 and Avcı 2002 were included. Landraces exhibited different reactions to the disease and their reactions ranged from resistant- moderately resistant to susceptible. Landrace number 33 obtained from Diyarbakır was found the most resistant to the disease compared to all other landraces whereas landrace number 10 obtained from Bilecik-Söğüt, and cultivar Bülbül 89 were the most susceptible. The majority of the landraces were classified between the Moderately Resistant-Moderately Susceptible to Moderately Susceptible-Susceptible. Landrace number 33 exhibited Resistant-Moderately Resistant reactions to both isolates. This landrace from Diyarbakır could be used as the seed source and in the breeding studies for obtaining barley cultivars resistant to the net form of net blotch disease.

This study was conducted to determine the levels of melatonin in the day and night milk of Holstein and Jersey cows. In the study, samples of daytime milk produced from 27 head of Holstein and 27 head of Jersey cows in the first lactation, which were raised in a private dairy cattle enterprise in the Kaşınhanı neighborhood of Meram district of Konya city Turkey, and night milk samples taken from the same cows that were blackened for one (1) week were used. Melatonin levels in milk samples taken from day and night milk were determined separately for Holstein and Jersey cows with the help of Bovine Melatonin (MLT) Elisa Kit.

In the study, it was determined that the ratio of melatonin in day and night milk in Holstein cows was 2.912 pg/ml and 11.314 pg/ml, respectively, and the ratio of melatonin in Jersey cows was 2.924 pg/ml and 6.954 pg/ml in the same order. The difference between the melatonin levels of the day and night milk of Holstein and Jersey cows was found to be statistically significant (p<0.01).

At the end of the study, it can be stated that night milk can be used for medical purposes and a new production source may arise for producers since there is a significant difference in melatonin between day and night milk.

Pepper is an important variety of vegetable that has economic value in human nutrition in Turkey and in the world. Continuous changes in producer and consumer demands also create a competitive environment in pepper breeding. Green pepper cultivation is generally carried out in greenhouse cultivation, and its cultivation has become widespread in open field conditions. In the study, 8 F1 (G12, G11, K42, B25, L9, Z22, G14 and L10) pepper varieties with superior characteristics were used as plant material. Some plant, leaf and fruit characteristics as well as yield and quality parameters were examined. As a result of the principal components analysis (PCA) made using theese measurements and observations, the study was explained variations in 6 components at a high rate of 97.94%. G11 and G12 cultivar candidates are located in the positive region of both components in the Score plot graph drawn from the first two components which means that these two candidates showed the highest performance among those evaluated ones. These cultivar candidates showed superior characteristics in terms of yield, fruit weight, fruit width, TTS, pH, L and b parameters. It is thought that these cultivar candidates can be grown in open land conditions having semi-arid climates such as Konya and will contribute to the country's agriculture production.

Published: May 2022

In order for strawberry varieties to be recommended in any region, the ecological demands of the varieties must be determined by making adaptation studies. For a successful strawberry production, variety adaptation plays an important role in the growing region. In strawberry cultivation, one of the most important purposes of breeding programs is to regulate yield and fruit quality. This study was carried out in order to determine the yield and quality characteristics of four strawberry cultivars (Albion, Monterey, San Andreas and Portola) using frigo seedlings in the Ereğli district of Konya province in 2019-2020. In the study, the earliest flowering and the highest yield were observed in Portola variety in both years. The highest fruit weight was obtained from Monterey (8.19 g) in the first year and Portola (7.72 g) in the second year. The highest number of fruits per plant was obtained from Portola (11.85-8.20 units/plant) in both years. The highest fruit firmness was determined in Monterey (1.47-1.49 kg/cm2) cultivar in both years. The highest TSS content was determined in Albion (12.40-15.10%) in both years. In the experiment, the highest L (brightness) values were found in San Andreas (35.77-36.82) variety in both years. The highest C (color intensity) value was determined in San Andreas (41.25-43.53) cultivar in both years. The darkest red fruits were determined in Monterey (h°=30.33) and Portola (h°=32.06) in the first year, and in Portola (h°=31.46) and Monterey (C°=32.15) cultivars in the second year. Titratable acidity was found to vary between 1.09% and 1.15% in the first year and between 1.23% and 1.69% in the second year. As a result, it was concluded that the cultivation of Portola variety is appropriate in terms of yield and quality characteristics in Konya province Ereğli conditions
Usage Opportunities of Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) Peel Dried with Dif-ferent Methods in Whole Wheat Flour Chips
Authors: Ertaş Nilgün , ASLAN Mine
Published: May 2022

In this study, pomegranate peels were dried using three different drying methods, vacuum, microwave and convective. Dried peels were ground into powder and replaced (0, 5 and 10%) with whole wheat flour in chips formulation to enhance functional properties of chips. Some physical (diameter, thickness, spread ratio and weight), chemical (total phenolic content and antioxidant activity), color and texture properties of chips samples were determined. While the chips obtained with addition of microwave dried peels were brighter, higher values of yellowness were determined with vacuum dried peels. The increased ratio of pomegranate peel powder caused a decrease in diameter and spread ratio values of chips. The utilization of 10% pomegranate peel powder decreased the hardness of the chips samples. The addition of pomegranate peel powder was increased in total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of chips. As a result, pomegranate peel powder can be used as a functional ingredient in snacks product formulation.

Authors: Babaoğlu Ali Samet , KARAKAYA Mustafa
Published: May 2022

The current study investigated the effects of dill, spinach and Swiss chard powders on the physicochemical (pH, TBARS, colour, residual nitrate and nitrite), microbiological (TMAB, LAB and total yeast-mould) and textural properties (TPA) of sucuks during refrigerated storage for 90 days. Five different groups of sucuk were prepared containing T1: 100 mg/kg sodium nitrite; T2: 100 mg/kg sodium nitrate; T3: dill powder 0.71%; T4: spinach powder 0.29% and T5: Swiss chard powder 0.26%. Swiss chard powder decreased the pH values of samples (P < 0.05). It was determined that the most effective curing agent in terms of TBARS numbers was spinach powder (T4). The residual nitrate was not detected in the groups of T4 and T5 all the refrigerated storage (P < 0.05). Curing with different vegetable powders did not affect the microbiological counts of sample (P > 0.05). Natural curing agents decreased the redness values of samples (P < 0.05). The highest chewiness value was determined in the group of T5 (P < 0.05). These results suggest that Swiss chard and spinach powders could be recommended as a natural curing agent in the sucuks.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the dried peach leaves powders with different methods on pH and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values, cooking, textural and sensory properties of beef patties. Samples were divided into six treatment groups; control (without peach leaf powder/ Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT)), patties with BHT (0.01%), patties containing peach leaf powders (PLP) dried in air (AP) (%1) and in microwave oven (MwP) in three different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2%). Sample were stored at +4 ºC for 7 days. The pH of raw beef patties containing various levels of PLPs decreased slightly (P<0.01). The MwP addition significantly decreased (P <0.01) the TBARS value compared to the without peach leaf powder. At the end of the storage period, the TBARS value of the control group was 4.14 mg MDA/kg, while the TBARS value of MwP3 was 0.67 mg MDA/kg.

Published: May 2022

Pulping using organic solvents is an alternative to kraft pulping and can reduce environmental pollutants. Ethanol is a potential cooking liquor, as it improves the penetration of the cooking chemical due to its low surface tension, and it can be recovered via distillation. The chemical structure and alpha-cellulose content need to be controlled during cooking and bleaching processes to prepare dissolving pulp. Therefore, the effect of ethanol on the cooking efficiency and caustic extraction prior to sequential bleaching on the alpha-cellulose content of the pulp were analyzed. The cooking yield was 50.2% in cooking liquor with 20% NaOH and 50% ethanol at 160 °C for 120 min. The delignification extent was 83.2%, which was better than that of kraft cooking. Caustic extraction was effective in removing the hemicellulose content, and the removal rate of xylan was 61.1% with 10% NaOH added to 1.5% pulp slurry and reacted at 60 °C for 90 min. The alpha-cellulose of bleached pulp could be improved to over 94% by a sequential bleaching process consisting of chlorine dioxide, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide.

Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has generated significant interest due to growing concerns about low carbon emission, environmental issues, and the guaranteed outstanding performance of applied products. Because of this trend, the importance of NFC production from an industrial angle has also been emphasized. In this study, ground pulps (at -300 μm clearance, 40 passes) were homogenized by using a pilot-scale microfluidizer (at 1,500 bar, up to 5 passes) to produce the NFC, and its characteristics were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that the size and distribution of the NFC particles gradually decreased by up to three passes on account of the microfluidizer treatment and remained constant after that mechanical pass number. The viscoelastic properties (dynamic moduli) and viscosity of the NFC suspension steadily increased with three passes of the treatment, and the same trends as in the SEM images were observed after these passes. These results demonstrated that the NFC fluid behavior inside the equipment depends on the morphological properties of the manufactured NFC particles. Additionally, a good agreement between the morphological and rheological results implied that rheological analysis can be a reasonable approach to predicting the quality (size and distribution) of manufactured NFC particles.
Controlled release of orange oil vapour to delay the ripening and mould growth of mangosteens (Garcinia mangostana) using rubberwood sawdust
Authors: Matan Narumol
Published: May 2022

The effect of rubberwood sawdust containing orange oil was evaluated relative to the quality of mangosteens after harvest, transportation, and storage. Orange oil emulsion (500 µl L−1) was added to the rubberwood sawdust as an adsorber and inserted into sachets in different amounts (0 g, 70 g, 140 g, 210 g, and 280 g). Then, each sachet was packed into a corrugated paper box (about 35 L) containing 15 kg of mangosteens, transported for 3 days by truck, and stored at 30 ± 2 °C for nine days. Results showed that the sachet containing 210 g of orange oil absorbent was able to delay the ripening of mangosteens by two stages of the ripening scale and inhibit mould growth. In addition, the overall quality of the treated fruit was good, especially in terms of loss of weight and firmness. Orange oil vapour from the sachet had a high antioxidant capacity that affected the pigment of mangosteen by preventing the degradation of chlorophyll and carotenoids. D-limonene was the main factor that inhibited mycelium growth on the fruit. This finding indicates that rubberwood sawdust containing orange oil in a paper box can be used to improve the quality of mangosteens in the fruit market.

The influence of the government's debt policy on the development of Ukraine's economy is analyzed. It is determined that today almost all indicators of debt stability in Ukraine exceed the critical limit, beyond which the state loses the ability to solve debt problems on its own. Thus, during 2014–2021, the domestic public and state-guaranteed debt of Ukraine increased in hryvnia equivalent by 3.9 times and as of the end of 2021 amounted to UAH 1,111.6 billion. The increase in debt was primarily due to direct public debt, which increased 4.1 times during the analyzed period. It is concluded that the scale of government borrowing in Ukraine makes it a threat to the economy, because without a change in the current government debt policy, the risk of the government's inability to meet its obligations to repay and service the debt will increase. Emphasis is placed on rethinking the country's economic policy in the direction of limiting the country's debt dependence, improving the structure of balance of payments and foreign trade balances, a balanced approach to the liberalization of relations in the foreign economic sphere and attracting foreign investment. A detailed analysis of trends in the issuance of domestic and external government bonds, as well as attracting debt financing from international financial organizations. The study of trends, and most importantly the structure of domestic government bonds, suggests that their growth is due to the need to finance not only the state budget deficit, but also the shortcomings and miscalculations of monetary and debt policy, as well as protectionist interests of individual businesses. Emphasis is placed on the fact that a significant share of non-residents' funds in domestic government bonds increases the country's exchange rate and financial vulnerability and is a factor that allows non-residents to influence the foreign exchange market and, accordingly, the national currency and international reserves of Ukraine.

Published: May 2022

Premature infants who need to be transported to a specialized intensive care unit should be transported in a specialized vehicle, with the participation of a transport resuscitation team. During the transportation of the newborn, clear and complete monitoring of body temperature, respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure and saturation, as well as the level of glycemia, should be carried out. All potential changes in the condition of premature infants should be monitored and, if possible, corrected. To assess the severity of the condition of premature babies before, during and after transportation, it is advisable to use the TRİP scale. Evaluation scales of the risk of transportation of newborns allow to improve the quality of transportation of newborns without significant risk for their life and health.

Authors:   Military Hospital of the Internal Troops, Guliyeva R.A.
Published: May 2022

Purpose of the study To study the epidemiological aspects and features of the course of fungal infection in military personnel. Material and methods. Within 5 years, after applying for medical dermatological help to the Central Hospital of the Internal Troops, in the department of skin and venereal diseases, 250 military personnel aged 20 to 50 with fungal diseases were identified and involved in further research. Research methods: clinical, statistical, microscopic — detection of fungal infection. Statistical analysis of the research results was carried out using the STATISTICA system for Windows 7.0 and the SPSS program. Research results. The highest incidence of foot mycoses was found among the military personnel of the older age groups. Relatively less frequently, servicemen aged 20 to 29 were registered with the studied pathology in relation to the previous groups (12.9%). The age groups under 20 years old (1.2%) were the smallest in terms of the number of cases. Thus, the level of occurrence among military personnel of various nosological forms of dermatomycosis was determined (Figure 2). Almost a little more than half of the sample consisted of patients with dermatophytosis (B-35) in accordance with ICD-10, and superficial candidiasis of the skin and keratomycosis occurred in equal numbers of cases. Conclusions. Summarizing the above, we can conclude that the actual practice of registering fungal diseases in a certain group of military personnel has been studied. In the structure of dermatomycosis, mycoses of the feet were in the lead, the second place was occupied by dermatomycosis in the area of large folds, mycosis of the trunk. The frequency of various nosological forms of the studied pathology in the examined military personnel fluctuated within wide limits

The article analyzes the main clinical and theoretical data on the features of the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in combination with diabetes mellitus (DM). Differentiated approaches to the correction of these cardiac arrhythmias in this category of patients are considered, among which the methods of first choice are hypoglycemic therapy and catheter ablation. Currently, in addition to metformin, which is the basis for the treatment of most patients with type 2 diabetes, new classes of drugs are used: sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, agonists of the receptor for glucagon-like peptide-1 (aGPP-1), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The results of randomized trials performed using these classes of drugs have shown different levels of cardiac efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with AF.

OBJECTIVES

To assess the biochemical and clinical outcomes of hospitalized children who received prophylactic enoxaparin.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective observational study of hospitalized children aged <18 years who received prophylactic enoxaparin against hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE). Weight-based enoxaparin dosing was administered using a pharmacy-driven protocol, which later included a low molecular weight, anti-Xa level directed-dose adjustment strategy. Primary biochemical and clinical outcomes were achievement of goal anti-Xa range of 0.2 to 0.5 IU/mL and development of HA-VTE, respectively. Secondary clinical outcome was development of clinically relevant bleed.

RESULTS

We analyzed 194 children with 13 (6.7%) infants aged <1 year and 181 (93.3%) older children aged ≥1 year. After the initial dose, only 1 (11.1%) infant, but 62 (57.9%) older children, achieved goal. Median number of anti-Xa levels until goal was 2 (interquartile range: 2–3) in infants and 1 (interquartile range: 1–2) in older children (P = .01). HA-VTE developed in 2 (15.4%) infants and 9 (5.0%) older children. Among children with anti-Xa level, HA-VTE developed less frequently in children who achieved (2.1%) than in those who did not achieve (13.6%) goal (P = .046). A total of 4 (2.1%) older children and no infants developed clinically relevant bleed. Among children with anti-Xa level, frequency of bleeding was comparable between children who did (3.2%) and did not achieve (0%) goal (P >.99).

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest the effectiveness and safety of an anti-Xa level directed strategy of prophylactic enoxaparin. However, this strategy should be investigated in prospective controlled studies.

The paper deals with the problem of various ways of representing concepts in specialist communication. In specialist communication in the field of mathematics we are dealing with a situation in which the concepts which are the basis of specialist knowledge are abstract. Therefore, in communication with the recipient, the problem of their representation arises. It turns out that they can be represented in a number of ways not seen outside the field of this science. In turn, the very choice of concrete representations may seem to be closely related to the communicative situation. Consequently, communication in mathematics turns out to be very complex in terms of the medium used to express content. This is because it can be represented by a word, a phrase or a metaphor, as well as by a symbol, a longer symbolic notation, or even a drawing. Such a wide range of various representations is a peculiar phenomenon in terminology, which is an important part of specialist communication, because it expands the understanding of a term as a sign, especially a linguistic one, with new, often non-literal material. The research touches upon an important problem of what unusual means a sender of a specialist text may use to present a term. The research material consists of popular representations of integrals, appearing in mathematical texts of varying levels of specialisation.
Formuły metatekstowe podkreślające ważność wprowadzanych treści (na przykładzie encyklik Jana Pawła II)
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Gajewska Urszula
Published: May 2022

Among formally and semantically diverse metatexts functioning in encyclicals of John Paul II a large group constitute formulas highlighting importance of introducing content. Recognition by the sender specified information as particularly important is motivated by the evaluation carried out by him, taking into account cognitive and religious criteria. In the analyzed metatextual structures we can distinguish formulas in which signaling importance is the only function, and formulas, in which signaling the importance of introducing content is an additional (accompanying) function, yet the main task of metatexts is naming and accentuating the strategic points of the discourse. Strictly evaluative formulas and persuasively characterized modal formulas, imperative formulas and emotional first-person formulas can be distinguished in both groups. Metatextual indicators signaling the importance of introducing content used by John Paul II are both structures specific to scientific texts, as well as structures peculiar and unusual for them, but characteristic of – for example – catechetical and preaching messages.
Operator tematyczny jako wobec jego historycznej funkcji porównawczej
Authors:   emerytowana profesor, Uniwersytetu Śląskiego w Katowicach, Polska, Kleszczowa Krystyna
Published: May 2022

The article discusses the inspirations which linguistics may draw from the semantic-syntactic research trend in the modern language. Obviously it explores only a model and a point of reference, for it is impossible to faithfully transfer methods used by synchronic linguistics to the study of historical material. This year saw the publication of Magdalena Danielewiczowa’s work entitled „Aspekt tematyczny w strukturze informacyjnej wypowiedzi. Rozszerzanie i integracja wiedzy” [“The Thematic Aspect in the Informational Structure of Utterances. How Knowledge is Made Broader and Integral”], whose author suggests that the thematic-rhematic structure should be extended to cover expressions which indicate the aspect which is expressed by the theme – we are dealing with the exponents of the thematic aspect (thematisers). A thematiser, which in reference to the Polish language Magdalena Danielewiczowa posits in the first place, is jako, a functional expression which historically occupied the first place among the exponents of comparison. Which elements are shared by jako in both functions? In typical comparative constructions (gradational and non-gradational ones) we compare two objects, A and B, and we compare them in reference to some property (Z). In a construction in which jako performs the function of a thematiser, we characterise A (theme) in order to say something about A in comparison to itself (A1), although in a different role; obviously we do this also due to the property Z: Jan (A) jako urzędnik (Z) jest skrupulatny, ale poza urzędem Jan (A1) jest strasznym bałaganiarzem. [Jan (A) is diligent as an employee (Z), but outside his office-related work Jan (A1) is a terribly messy person.] In both cases we may speak about characterisation, on the one hand by means of seeking a similarity between A and B, and, on the other hand, by means of attributing some property to A. In the further part of her discussion, the author attempts to explain why the comparative jako was transformed into jak (the disappearance of ~o), and how jako in turn, prevailed, in the function of a thematiser, in the competition with other functors.
Addressing the hegemony of English through picture books in Gamilaraay
Authors: Smith Hilary , Pryor Leanne
Published: May 2022

The reawakening of the Indigenous Gamilaraay language in northern inland New South Wales, Australia involves righting two centuries of prohibition and mistreatment after invasion by English-speaking settlers. Gamilaraay is no longer used as an everyday language in the community, although it has strong emblematic value for the Gamilaraay community. The hegemonic power of English means that it is seen as “normal”, while Gamilaraay use is often confined to ceremonial uses. A burgeoning awareness of the importance of Gamilaraay and other Indigenous languages of New South Wales has been reflected in recent legislative changes, which have in turn resulted in funding support for language materials. This article describes a community development approach in writing bilingual picturebooks in Gamilaraay and English as we progress towards our ultimate aim of normalising the use of Gamilaraay once more.

Authors: Rodrigues Marco Aurelio de Souza , Kamlot Daniel
Published: May 2022

RESUMO Este ensaio apresenta as relações entre Marketing Social (MS) e Ecossistemas de Negócio (EN), buscando contribuir para a integração destas áreas de conhecimento e argumentando que a aplicação da análise de ecossistemas pode ser um instrumento valioso no desenvolvimento de estratégias de Marketing Social mais eficientes. Por meio de uma avaliação reflexiva realizada a partir de investigação crítica do estado da arte, orientada pela busca por pontos comuns entre MS e EN, expuseram-se elementos de convergência entre tais assuntos, principalmente os de natureza organizacional, empresarial, social e comunitária. Consolidando-se um quadro contendo particularidades do MS e contribuições de EN, elencaram-se quatro proposições, permitindo constatar que organizações que realizem planejamentos de MS poderão conceber estratégias derivadas do mapeamento da estrutura da rede composta pelo ecossistema a que pertencem, beneficiando-se das trocas de recursos e de influências entre stakeholders e outros participantes.
ECONOMIA PLURAL EM ECOVILAS: PARA ALÉM DA MONOCULTURA DA MENTE
Authors: Tres Guilherme Smaniotto , Souza Washington José de
Published: May 2022

RESUMO Este artigo objetiva sistematizar práticas de pluralidade econômica tomando como base empírica propósitos de autossuficiência em ecovilas e, como referência teórica, elementos de economia solidária, plural em Polanyi e da dádiva em Mauss. Assumimos a premissa que a economia de mercado domina a sociabilização humana reduzindo a racionalidade humana ao cálculo utilitário, estabelecendo, assim, uma monocultura que se espraiada da mente à agricultura. Pontuamos práticas econômicas cujos propósitos e esquemas de trabalho, gestão e economia se orientam pela preservação e regeneração de ecossistemas que reconectam o ser humano a ele próprio e à natureza. Após 49 dias de imersão em quatro ecovilas, e posterior acompanhamento remoto de suas atividades, foram qualificadas práticas diversificadas de agricultura, centradas em ideais de autossuficiência, tempos e processos naturais e em singularidades de vida social, revelando pluralidade econômica em termos de domesticidade, reciprocidade, redistribuição, dádiva e solidariedade. Restritas relações com o mercado orientam dinâmicas de vida econômica e sustentam ideais de enfrentamento da crise social e ambiental.

Educação em sexualidade na Europa e as sexualidades interseccionais do Brasil
Authors: Rodrigues Neto Antônio
Published: May 2022

Resumo: No presente artigo, temos por objetivo investigar a política europeia de educação em sexualidade com base nos Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe e tecer breves considerações sobre sua adequação à realidade brasileira sob o critério formal, relativo às leis educacionais brasileiras; e material, relativo à sua capacidade de representar uma noção interseccional de sexualidade vivenciada no Sul Global de origens coloniais. A investigação utilizou método dialético, tendo por base metodologia exploratória, e constatamos que o modelo europeu sugere uma abordagem abrangente da sexualidade, que vai além das questões de saúde sexual e reprodutiva, e propõe o questionamento das normas e relações de poder que constituem social, política, cultural e historicamente o gênero e a sexualidade. Todavia, para uma implementação no Brasil pós-colonial, é preciso observar uma noção ainda mais abrangente, incorporando a relação da sexualidade com outros marcadores sociais, a exemplo de raça e classe.
Mulheres de favelas e o (outro) feminismo popular
Authors: Nunes Nilza Rogéria de Andrade , Veillette Anne-Marie
Published: May 2022

Resumo: Neste artigo, temos como objetivo apresentar e ampliar o conceito de feminismo popular na América Latina a partir do caso das mulheres de favelas que são reconhecidas pelo seu ativismo social e político. Para tal, partiremos das epistemologias feministas e decoloniais que nos permitem perceber as resistências geralmente invisibilizadas pela colonialidade do gênero e muitas vezes ignoradas pelo feminismo hegemônico. Metodologicamente, este estudo se alicerça em uma pesquisa qualitativa na qual foram realizadas entrevistas com 110 mulheres em 105 favelas do Rio de Janeiro. Apoiamo-nos, principalmente, nas respostas à questão sobre se considerarem feministas ou não e o motivo. Assim, propomos uma definição ampliada do feminismo popular que se caracteriza pela subjetividade específica dessas mulheres, sua articulação em rede, um compromisso radical pela favela e uma temporalidade de ação diferenciada na cidade.
Correlação entre espasticidade do membro superior e movimentação da mão no pós-AVC
Authors: Vargas Isadora Martins Postiglioni de , Rodrigues Luciano Palmeiro
Published: May 2022

RESUMO A hemiparesia e a espasticidade são consequências comuns em pacientes que sofreram um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) e delas decorre a dificuldade do paciente de movimentar o hemicorpo acometido. O objetivo deste estudo foi, assim, verificar a relação da espasticidade no membro superior (MS) com a capacidade de movimentação da mão desses pacientes, a partir de um estudo transversal de delineamento ex-post facto correlacional. Foram avaliados pacientes que realizavam acompanhamento no Ambulatório Neurovascular do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA). Foi preenchida uma ficha de avaliação com dados da amostra e realizada a avaliação da espasticidade do MS, por meio da escala de Ashworth modificada (MAS), e da movimentação ativa da mão, por meio da escala de movimentação da mão (EMM). Para a correlação das variáveis, foi usado o coeficiente de correlação tau de Kendall, adotando-se um nível de significação de 5% (p≤0,05). Foram avaliados 47 sujeitos de ambos os sexos com média de idade de 64,5 (±13) anos e média de tempo de AVC de 2,7 (±1,8) meses. A moda da EMM foi de 6 pontos e 74,4% dos pacientes não eram espásticos. O movimento da mão apresentou correlação significativa negativa com as musculaturas espásticas avaliadas. Houve uma correlação negativa moderada com as musculaturas peitoral (r=−0,383; p=0,007), os flexores de cotovelo (r=−0,339; p=0,016) e pronadores (r=−0,460; p=0,001), e correlação negativa alta com os flexores de punho (r=−0,588; p<0,001) e os flexores de dedos (r=−0,692; p<0,001). Concluiu-se que quanto maior o grau de espasticidade do membro superior, menor a capacidade de movimentação da mão dos pacientes.
