A Comparative Study of Discursive Constructions of Chinese Smog Documentary in American and Chinese News coverage
Authors: Li Qiuyang , Yang Ya
Published: September 2018

This article investigates the corpus-based discourse study of the representations of smog documentary Under the Dome in five Chinese media (Xinhua News, People’s Daily, China News, Guangming Daily and Caijing Net) and four American media (The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today). It is found that dialectical relationship between discourse and culture, discourse and politics as exemplified by the historical issues, various linguistic forms and discursive strategies. The findings suggest that Chinese media discourse about Chai’s smog documentary tends to be unitary, while American media discourse focuses on the whole story of the event and constructs an integrated discourse event with diverse perspectives. American news reports inclined to take a determinative attitude to accuse Chinese government’ censorship while Chinese news report focuses on expressing people’s emotion and opinion toward the smog documentary and Chai Jing.
La heterogeneidad estructural de las pseudopartitivas en español
Authors: San Julián Solana Javier
Published: September 2018

En la lingüística actual está totalmente asentada la ya clásica diferencia establecida por Selkirk (1977) al segregar la construcción pseudopartitiva de la construcción partitiva propiamente dicha. Sin embargo, en la bibliografía no se advierte lo estructuralmente heterogéneo del grupo de las pseudopartitivas, al menos tal y como se viene presentando en los estudios gramaticales del español. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar que bajo el marbete de construcción pseudopartitiva (y otros alternativos) cohabitan secuencias que responden a dos esquemas sintácticos radicalmente distintos. La sistemática indiferenciación se debe a que una y otra estructura obedecen a la misma distribución de componentes semántico-pragmáticos: un cuantificador y un cuantificado (en este orden) entre los que media la preposición de (‘cuantificador + de + cuantificado’).
Estereotipos femeninos en anuncios gráficos de marcas de lujo de moda, perfumería y cosmética
Authors: Treviños Rodríguez Doris , Díaz-Soloaga Paloma
Published: September 2018

En este artículo se pretende conocer cuáles son los estereotipos femeninos más frecuentes en los anuncios gráficos de marcas de lujo de moda, perfumería y cosmética en España. Se ha replicado la investigación realizada por Díaz-Soloaga, Muñiz y Quintas en el año 2010 para comprobar si se ha producido una evolución en la representación femenina durante este tiempo. Asimismo, y a modo de aproximación, se ha indagado de manera aislada en los anuncios de perfumería y cosmética para comprobar si manifiestan características diferentes al resto de la muestra.Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de contenido en 164 anuncios insertados en las revistas Elle, Glamour, Marie Claire, Telva y Vogue. Los resultados constatan que la forma de representar físicamente a la mujer no ha cambiado (blanca, delgada, bella y joven). Los datos también manifiestan que los cuatro estereotipos encontrados en la totalidad de los anuncios son prácticamente los mismos que los hallados años antes; aunque los estereotipos mujer pasiva y mujer frágil han sido sustituidos por el nuevo estereotipo mujer con éxito afectivo. Por otro lado, los estereotipos que exhiben los anuncios de perfumería y cosmética son similares a los encontrados en toda la muestra.

Authors: Fazeli-Nasab Bahman , Rossello Josep Antoni , Mokhtarpour Amir
Published: September 2018

The nanotechnology is a relatively new technology that has recently entered the field of agriculture. Nanotechnology covers the integration or manipulation of individual atoms, molecules or molecular masses to a diverse array of structures allowing the production of new characteristics and traits of interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar application of TiO2 nanoparticles on quantitative traits (plant height, number of branches, dry weight of shoots and roots) and the essential oil content of thyme under different levels of field capacity. Our results showed that the application of TiO2 nanoparticles had significant effects on thyme growth, while the essential oil concentrations not affected. These results imply that the application of TiO2 nanoparticles in plants increase agronomic value under reduced irrigation conditions but has not different significant on essential oil.
The Narrative and Poetical Role of a Polynesian Literary Myth: Canoes of the Origins in Contemporary Texts from French Polynesia, New Zealand, and Samoa
Authors: Angué Chloé
Published: September 2018

How does the rewriting of the Polynesian migration by contemporary authors participate in the evolution of a historical and political myth into a fruitful literary one? When they create characters or stories which exalt the history of their migrant ancestors, Polynesian writers reclaim their past. They also keep alive and help spread the memories of the maritime journey. Most of all, they “write back” to those who ignored their heritage or failed to recognize its value, thereby giving the myth of the original migration a political dimension. In their novels, the quest of the hero is filled with the memory of the great migration, which adds to the postcolonial protest discourse. The myth is nevertheless seldom used for concrete political demands: most of the time, it echoes an ideal or dream of a new world, a world where Polynesian cultures and literatures would be recognized for their universality and creativity.
Beyond Archaeology: The Broader Scholarly and Educational Mission of the American Center of Oriental Research
Authors: Corbett Glenn J.
Published: September 2018

For 50 years, the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR) in Amman, Jordan, has been at the forefront of Near Eastern archaeology, helping pioneer innovations in survey archaeology, cultural resource management, and, more recently, community-based archaeology. Yet, as the Center has grown, perhaps its greatest success has been serving as a place of educational, scholarly, and cultural exchange among Americans, other foreign nationalities, and Jordanians. ACOR's operational mandate extends well beyond archaeology and embraces an educational mission that, in seeking to “advance knowledge of Jordan past and present,” brings together students, scholars, and professionals, both foreign and Jordanian, to meet, talk, learn, collaborate, exchange ideas, and, in general, get to know each other a little better. This article will discuss how ACOR and its various programs and activities serve this broader mission and why ACOR, as a space for mutually beneficial learning and exchange, is worth continued investment.

El lugar en donde abundan los venados : historia, narraciones y memorias locales del municipio de Comasagua, El Salvador
Authors: Erquicia Cruz José Heriberto , Herrera Martha Marielba
Published: September 2018

Comasagua es rica en historia y tradición. La enseñanza de la historia en el sistema educativo salvadoreño tiene grandes vacíos, uno de tantos es no tomar en cuenta las narraciones y memorias locales, dedicándose solamente a examinar una historia nacional, excluyendo a las comunidades que se encuentran al margen de la sociedad salvadoreña dominante. A través de un método historiográfico y de técnicas de entrevistas semi estructuradas y grupos focales se llegó a conocer una parte de la historia de las comunidades. Desde la época prehispánica hasta el siglo XXI, los comasagüenses han resguardado, mediante la oralidad y la memoria, su historia. Estos aportes permiten determinar cómo, en el país, varios colectivos siguen vigentes, revelando su diversidad étnica, su cosmovisión y sus saberes.Entorno, agosto 2015, número 59: 77-85

Authors: Calles Hernández José Ricardo
Published: September 2018

El comportamiento de la morbilidad por IRC en la microcuenca del río Las Cañas se explica, al menos en un 50 %, por factores ambientales como la concentración de nitrógeno (nitrato y nitrito) en las fuentes de abastecimiento de agua para consumo humano y al caudal de vertido evidenciado en los municipios de Apopa, Soyapango y Tonacatepeque. No obstante, la relación entre las concentraciones de sustancias (químicas y orgánicas) y la morbilidad por insuficiencia renal crónica (IRC) es explicada, en un 95 %, cuando se asocian variables relacionadas con la edad y el consumo de agua de la población afectada. El costo social de la morbilidad por IRC, atribuible a la concentración de sustancias contaminantes identificadas en las fuentes de agua para abastecimiento para consumo humano analizadas en los municipios antes referidos equivale a US$271.870.272.60 por año.Entorno, agosto 2015, número 59: 123-141

Authors: Hailemariam Yehualashet Bekele , Carrena Olufolahan , Eshun Derek , Okafor Henry E.
Published: September 2018

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is also known as stress induced cardiomyopathy and transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome. There have been few case reports where hyponatremia was implicated as a trigger for stress-induced cardiomyopathy. We report the unusual case of a 79-year-old African American woman without any discernible recent stressors who presented atypically with generalized fatigue and was found to have severe hyponatremia (from chronic alcohol use and thiazide diuretics) and significantly elevated Troponin. Her echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization revealed typical features of apical ballooning syndrome.
Technique of Exploring Women’s Choice in Select Novels of El Sadaawi, Ba, Alkali and Adichie
Authors: Ngozi Dick Angela
Published: September 2018

Women writers in Africa have enjoyed wider audience especially in higher institutions where the curriculum includes African Women Writers, Gender Studies and other related courses. African women writers may focus on a variety of subject matters but what is common to their literary art is that they concentrate on the experience of women. This article focuses on how the authors use their literary art to portray women’s experiences in their social melieu.  Nawal El Sadaawi, Mariama Ba, Zaynab Alkali and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are women writers from Africa. The first three women are older and from Moslem background. Adichie is younger and from a Christian background. The choice made of the novels of these women is due to the recurrent problem of being a woman everywhere. In contemporary times women are still treated differently just because they are women. However, it has been observed that there is nothing intrinsic in women that depict them as the bad or inferior species of human beings. This article focuses on the commonality of style used by the select African novelists in couching the predicament of women in the African society. The novels chosen in this research are El Sadaawi’s  Woman at Point Zero and God Dies by the Nile; Ba’s So Long a Letter and Scarlet Song; Alkali’s The Stillborn and The Virtuous Woman and  Adichie’s Americanah.
Incompleteness of General Relativity Regarding Einstein's Program
Authors: Elbaz Claude
Published: September 2018

The detection of gravitational waves substantiates the undeniable achievement of general relativity theory by increasing its theoretical and experimental accuracy. One century after predicting it has set again Einstein's works at the front of research. Absence of quantum particle associated to gravitation emphasizes that general relativity theory remains not included in the standard model of physics. Then Einstein’s disagreement about it incompleteness regarding wave-particle and matter-field becomes actualized. In order to circumvent these difficulties he privileged field, rather than matter for universe description in his program. In consequence a scalar field e(r0,t0) propagating at speed of light c yields matter from standing waves moving at speed strictly inferior to c, and interactions from progressive waves. Electromagnetic interactions derive from local variations of frequencies, and gravitation from local variations of speed of light. A space-like amplitude functions u0(k0r0) supplements fundamental time-like functions of classical and quantum mechanics. It tends toward Dirac’s distribution Delta (r0) in geometrical optics approximation conditions, when frequencies are infinitely high, and then hidden.

More generally, it allows theoretical economies by deriving energy-momentum conservation laws, and least action law. Quantum domain corresponds to wave optics approximation conditions. Variations of frequencies give rise to an adiabatic constant, formally identical with Planck's constant, leading to first quantification for electromagnetic interactions and to second quantification for matter.

Authors: Nanema Emmanuel , Konate Moustapha , Gnabahou Doua Allain , Ouattara Frederic
Published: September 2018

Ionosphere investigation leads to the knowledge of its composition in particles. The particle density and composition determine the capacity of this region to reflect radio waves in the atmosphere at different heights. Some variables such as season, solar cycle phase also influence the ionosphere behavior. Radio waves frequencies pass through the ionosphere layer without reflection above a critical value determining the critical frequency. This study determines the critical frequency of radio waves in the F2 layer (foF2) of the ionosphere by use of data at Ouagadougou station during the minimum and the maximum of solar cycle 22, at different seasons with the height of F2-layer (hmF2). Daytime and nighttime also influence ionosphere parameters. The study presents the hourly behavior of foF2 according to hmF2 values.

Authors: Jukonienė Ilona , Rasimavičius Mindaugas , Ričkienė Aurika , Subkaitė Monika
Published: September 2018

Stanisław Batys Gorski (1802–1864) was a pharmacist, botanist, and entomologist. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, he headed the Vilnius University Botanical Garden and lectured on botany at the Imperial University of Vilnius and the Vilnius Medical and Surgical Academy. It is a known fact that the Herbarium of Vilnius University (WI) contains Gorski’s largest collection of vascular plants. In 2016, the nineteenth-century collection of bryophytes in WI was analyzed. The analysis of handwriting on specimen labels, as well as their style, showed that more than half of the collection had been compiled by Gorski. The purpose of this study is to present Gorski’s reassembled bryological collection, which contains 729 specimens of bryophytes and is stored in the Herbarium of Vilnius University.
Ecological conditions of the altitudinal substitution of Petasites kablikianus and P. hybridus in the Polish Carpathians
Authors: Uziębło Aldona Katarzyna , Fojcik Barbara , Kozik Dariusz
Published: September 2018

Two species of the genus Petasites, P. kablikianus (occurs upstream) and P. hybridus (occurs downstream), form characteristic tall herb communities in two altitudinal zones of Carpathian streams and rivers. They are described as “altitudinal vicariants” due to their substitution with decreasing elevation on similar habitats along mountain streams. This would indicate that the phenomenon is conditioned by climatic factors. In this study, we investigated the factors that determine this substitution on streambanks, and whether P. hybridus competes with P. kablikianus and limits its spread from mountains to foothills. We analyzed 72 plant patches from the Western and Eastern Carpathians in terms of flora composition, and geomorphological features of the habitat. The content of organic matter, available Mg, P, K, C, total N, and pH were also analyzed for a representative group of patches. Phytocoenoses were analyzed based on the presence of one of the analyzed species or on the quantitative proportions, in the case of a co-occurrence. We found statistically significant differences in the soil structure (skeleton percentage), content of Mg, N, and C, and the values of the C:N ratio. These results revealed that P. kablikianus prefers skeletal soils with a lower clay content, that is rich in Mg, N, C, and organic matter. Petasites hybridus prefers finer soils, which are richer in pulverized and clay fractions, in a zone of decrease of soil richness and where a thick layer of humus is typical for its phytocoenoses. We found that the spread of P. kablikianus into lower locations is not limited by competition with P. hybridus, but rather by the quality and structure of the habitat. Therefore, both species should be treated as ecological rather than altitudinal vicariants.
Topology-based approach to the modernization of transport and logistics systems with hybrid architecture. Part 1. Proof-of-concept study
Authors: Semenov Iouri N. , Filina-Dawidowicz Ludmiła
Published: September 2018

Industrial companies are linked with affiliated firms, suppliers and customers through the supply chains. Such chains operate within large-scale networks directly related to distribution and warehousing. In order to meet the market demands and customer new expectations, the various components of the supply chains have to be developed i.a. through implementation of the innovative vehicles, green and blue technologies. Moreover, modernization processes of transport and logistics system need to be resistant to crucial mistakes related to innovative solutions implementation in order to exclude domino effect occurrence. The authors attempt to build topology-based approach to the modernization of transport and logistics systems. It is assumed that each innovation application is the independent element-based coalition, possessing linked object structure. The results of multi-year researches demonstrate the offered approach as a useful tool to analyze innovative changes for obsolete transport and logistics system as hybrid structure. The ways of system structure transformation, as well as possible innovative effects are considered. The preliminary results have been obtained for compositions on meso-level for the case of marine propulsion modernisation. The paper is illustrated by various examples.
The non-audit fee and the auditee’s failure risk
Authors: Staszkiewicz Piotr , Górska Rumiana
Published: September 2018

This paper examines whether the auditee’s financial situation affects the auditor’s non-audit fee and independ- ence. Three sets of tests were used to address the issue. The first examines whether there are cross-border and intertemporal differences in relationships between non-audit fees and audit fees. The second tests whether there is a relationship between non-audit fees and report modification. The third addresses the relationships between audit fees and the auditee’s financial situation. The results suggest a lack of coexistence of all three motives for the purchase of non-audit fee services, and substantial similarities of auditor and auditee behaviors across Po- land and New Zealand. We documented the lack of a significant link between auditee failure risk and the quality of the audit report. Our findings indicate an operational rather than a strategic nature of non-audit services to incumbent clients.

Authors: Ran Junjian , Liang Xinhong , Du Hanmei , Sun Junliang
Published: September 2018

Background: A lot of sweet potato residues (SPR) were discarded and wasted. Objective: To make full use of the SPR. Methods: Ultrasonic microwave synergistic (UMS) extraction method was used to extractdehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in SPR. The extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology based on single factors. Results: The optimum extraction conditions were 1:25 (solid–liquid ratio), 300 W (microwave power), 30 min (extraction time), and 30°C (extraction temperature). The extraction yield of DHEA from SPR reached 117.25 μg/100 g. Conclusions: The advantage of UMS extractiontechnology is to make full use of the synergistic effect of ultrasound and microwave to improve extraction efficiency. Highlights: The technology provides an effective way to improve the DHEA extraction yield from the SPR in industrial production.
An Ecosemiotic Critique of Heidegger’s Concept of Enframing
Authors: Frayne Craig ,   International Association for Environmental Philosophy
Published: September 2018

This essay presents ecosemiotics as an approach to interpreting Heidegger in environmental philosophy. Comparisons between Heidegger’s philosophy and ecosemiotics have often focused on the 1929–1930 lecture course where Heidegger discusses Jakob von Uexküll’s notion of Umwelt. These and other ecological interpretations reach an impasse with the sharp ontological boundary Heidegger places between Dasein and more-than-human lifeforms. This essay revisits the theme by focusing on a central concept from Heidegger’s later work: enframing [Gestell]. Enframing, it is argued, can be understood as a rupture between human (cultural) and natural signs, which is a consequence of technological modernity. Although this interpretation diverges from Heidegger’s philosophy, such critical readings may be necessary if Heidegger’s work is to speak to today’s technologies and ecological issues.

Among the places studied, at the Parque Florestal Estadual do Turvo it was possible to observe a fit population of D. willistoni in majority of gathering periods, probabily because the ecological and climatic conditions were move benefic at this place than at the two others.
The two-band model and the metal-nonmetal transition in magnetlc systems
Authors: Boldo J. L. , Turchiello R. F. , Mota R.
Published: September 2018

Using the two band model introduced by Mota and Coutinho-Filho, the metal-nonmetal transition is investigated by taking an approximate model Hamiltonian which takes into accout the hybridization of the bands, not included in the original model. A Green's function technique is used to obtain the hybrid bands inthe Hartree-Fock approximation. Investigating the phenomenon of metal-nonmetal transition, in general, increasing the intra-atomic interaction the tendency of the systems toward nonmetalic behavior increases. But, differently of previous results, for strong hybridization and small intra-atomic interaction, where the Hartree-fock approximation is valid, the opposite is observed. this may help to understand the difficult os observing pressure-induced nonmetal-metal transitions in magnetic systems.

Este estudo objetivou verificar a relação entre o período de hospitalização de recém-nascidos (RN) internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) Neonatal de um hospital público federal e a frequência da distribuição do leite materno (LM) ofertado em suas dietas diárias. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados secundários que avaliou 246 RN admitidos na UTI neonatal entre março e junho de 2016. Os testes estatísticos foram realizados nos softwares Microsoft® Excel 2010 e SPSS versão 18.0 ®. Do total de RN, 63% recebeu o LM por via oral, sendo que, quanto menor a frequência desse recebimento, maior o tempo de internação (p<0,001). Entretanto, dentre os bebês que receberam LM administrados por sonda enteral, observou-se uma relação direta entre tempo de internação e frequência de distribuição do leite materno (p<0,001). Os resultados corroboram com a importância do uso do LM para a redução do tempo de internação de RNs.

Alimentos com alegação funcional ou de saúde fazem parte de uma nova concepção de alimentos, atraindo a atenção de consumidores assim como do comércio eletrônico brasileiro. Como estratégia de marketing, alguns sites de venda reproduzem falsas alegações, distanciando-se das alegações estabelecidas pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar anúncios de alimentos funcionais divulgados em sites de vendas brasileiros e sua conformidade com as legislações brasileiras referentes à rotulagem e alegações estabelecidas pela ANVISA. Coletaram-se dados de 117 propagandas de produtos comercializados em 64 sites de vendas online brasileiros no período março a junho de 2017. 24% das propagandas mostraram-se consonantes com as alegações estabelecidas pela ANVISA, enquanto 76% apresentaram um ou mais tipos de inconformidade. 80% não apresentaram advertências exigidas para requisitos específicos e 49,7% não dispunha de tabela nutricional. Tal perfil de anúncios demonstra uma necessidade de monitoramento efetivo dos veículos de comercialização.

Necesarios reajustes de planificación en diseños turísticos funcionales: ejemplo de la Ruta Amanecista = Functional Tourist Designs and the Necessary Evolutionary Adjustments. The Example of the Amanecista ...

Buena parte de las rutas culturales se ha basado en diseños sobre intereses particulares, sin contemplar la demanda. Por ello requieren de ajustes que conduzcan a su supervivencia y hasta relanzamiento. Es el caso de la Ruta Amanecista. Para constatar su funcionamiento se ha recurrido al análisis de la ruta, trabajo de campo y un modelo de encuesta dirigido a los servicios de acogida para comprobar la incidencia de la ruta,y los resultados permiten acercarse a una demanda definida por planteamientos de diseño poco ajustados a los requerimientos actuales. También se buscan sinergias territoriales de servicios, que urgen de replanteamientos, como el escaso significado sobre el desarrollo rural, un objetivo esencial de toda ruta en este ámbito. Las fortalezas y debilidades, internas y externas, son lo suficientemente explícitas como abordar las necesarias adaptaciones.Manu of the cinematographic tourist routes are based on designs underpinned by private interests and, in general, not considering demand. As such, they require adjustments focused on their survival, as is the case with the Amanecista Route. In order to verify its operation and needs, an analysis based on fieldwork has been prepared, a survey model aimed at hosting services, with the aim of checking the incidence of the route on the services. The results will lead to the definition of the demand and the additional needs of the design of the route, to the requirements of cultural tourism at the present time. Also, the study of the territorial synergies of the services indicates that it requires rethinking because of its scarce significance on rural development, which is one of the essential objectives of the routes. The internal and external strengths and weaknesses can serve as a basis to address the necessary adjustments to the design and initial objectives.

Efficiently Processing and Storing Library Linked Data using Apache Spark and Parquet
Authors: Sharma Kumar , Marjit Ujjal , Biswas Utpal
Published: September 2018

Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a commonly used data model in the Semantic Web environment. Libraries and various other communities have been using the RDF data model to store valuable data after it is extracted from traditional storage systems. However, because of the large volume of the data, processing and storing it is becoming a nightmare for traditional data-management tools. This challenge demands a scalable and distributed system that can manage data in parallel. In this article, a distributed solution is proposed for efficiently processing and storing the large volume of library linked data stored in traditional storage systems. Apache Spark is used for parallel processing of large data sets and a column-oriented schema is proposed for storing RDF data. The storage system is built on top of Hadoop Distributed File Systems (HDFS) and uses the Apache Parquet format to store data in a compressed form. The experimental evaluation showed that storage requirements were reduced significantly as compared to Jena TDB, Sesame, RDF/XML, and N-Triples file formats. SPARQL queries are processed using Spark SQL to query the compressed data. The experimental evaluation showed a good query response time, which significantly reduces as the number of worker nodes increases.
PAL: Toward a Recommendation System for Manuscripts
Authors: Ziegler Scott , Shrake Richard
Published: September 2018

Book-recommendation systems are increasingly common, from Amazon to public library interfaces. However, for archives and special collections, such automated assistance has been rare. This is partly due to the complexity of descriptions (finding aids describing whole collections) and partly due to the complexity of the collections themselves (what is this collection about and how is it related to another collection?). The American Philosophical Society Library is using circulation data collected through the collection-management software package, Aeon, to automate recommendations. In our system, which we’re calling PAL (People Also Liked), recommendations are offered in two ways: based on interests (“You’re interested in X, other people interested in X looked at these collections”) and on specific requests (“You’ve looked at Y, other people who looked at Y also looked that these collections”). This article will discuss the development of PAL and plans for the system. We will also discuss ongoing concerns and issues, how patron privacy is protected, and the possibility of generalizing beyond any specific software solution.

Ivan Bunin occupies a unique place in the context of Russian literature. The following article demonstrates the relevance of Juri Lotman’s work on defining semiotic artistic space by examining Bunin’s modeling of the world and his construction of artistic space in his prose works. Special attention is paid to the semiosphere, its central mechanisms, and their realization in several of Bunin’s works, and especially the short story entitled “Horror Story”.
