Miként befolyásolják a stratégiai gondolkodásmódok a vállalat innovativitását? (How can strategic mindsets influence innovative capability of the firm?)
Authors: Bakonyi Zoltán
Published: January 2021

A stratégiai gondolkodásmód a szervezetben működő egyének olyan kognitív sémáinak összessége, melyek alapjaiban befolyásolják a szervezet üzleti lehetőségeivel kapcsolatos feltevéseiket, valamint ezáltal a vállalati stratégiát és innovációt. Jelen tanulmány egy koncepcióalkotó munka, mely négy alapvető stratégiai gondolkodásmódot azonosít, amelyek mindegyike sajátos módon kapcsolódik az innovációhoz. Későbbi empirikus vizsgálathoz kapcsolódóan három feltevést azonosít, melyek a következőek: 1. Minél dinamikusabb a vállalat stratégiai gondolkodásmódja, annál radikálisabb innovációs kezdeményezéseket támogat. 2. Időben a vállalatok (a stabilitásra való törekvésük miatt) a statikusabb stratégiai gondolkodásmód felé mozdulnak el. 3. Minél konzisztensebb a vállalat stratégiai gondolkodásmódja, annál nagyobb mértékben kerül megvalósításra a tervezett stratégia. _____ Strategic mindset is the sum of those cognitive patterns of a group of individuals in an organization which fundamentally influence their assumptions about business opportunities. Four types of strategic mindsets can be distinguished which fundamentally influence the strategy and innovation capability of the firm. This paper is a conceptual framework which describes three assumptions such as 1. the more dynamic strategic mindset results the more radical innovation strategy; 2. in time strategic mindsets become more static; and 3. the more consistent strategic mindsets inside the firm, the greater possibility of the intended strategy is implemented. By this way it is a first step of a future research examining why start-up companies can lose their innovation capability and why large firms can keep it?

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar se há uma variação temporal característica da distribuição de valores de termos relevantes ao longo do tempo da produção de textos que possa contribuir como um critério para o processo de sua indexação automática. Foram analisadas as teses de doutorado dos programas de pós-graduação (PPGs) da área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da UFMG, considerando-se 7 PPGs distintos, sendo cada um deles um corpus, com um total de 641 teses defendidas período de 12 anos, de 2007 a 2018. Os termos considerados foram todos os sintagmas nominais contidos nos próprios textos das teses. Cada sintagma nominal recebeu um valor associado à sua relevância como descritor de acordo com os critérios de frequência do termo na própria tese (TF - Term Frequency) e com o inverso da frequência de ocorrência do termo no total de teses de cada PPG (IDF - Inverse Document Frequency). As teses foram divididas em 12 grupos em cada PPG para o cálculo da data média de defesa das teses e da média de pontuação consolidada dos termos relevantes nas teses. Como resultados, identificou-se o comportamento característico de cada PPG através de um gráfico de dispersão do nível médio de pontuação de relevância ao longo do tempo. Para cada gráfico de cada um dos 7 PPGs foi adicionada uma linha de tendência, considerando seu respectivo R², e feita sua análise específica. Todos os comportamentos de distribuição temporais foram caracterizados em equações polinomiais e podem ser aplicados como critério para indexação automática.

No Country for Old People
Authors: Astalkovska Gajtanoska Ana , Jakimovska Ilina
Published: January 2021

In North Macedonian ethnology, there is a lack of ethnographic studies dedicated specifically to old age. This is a paradox, especially having in mind the fact that the elderly are considered the most important field interlocutors, and that statements about their own old age make an important part of materials dedicated to other topics - feelings and experiences that they have provided without being directly asked about them. Thus, the field materials upon which this article is based include ethnographic interviews with elderly people collected during the last fifteen years in different villages throughout the Republic of North Macedonia. Their stories reflect the treatment of old age in contemporary context. The transformation of traditional values in relation to old age culminated during the period of industrialization and modernization after WWII, especially due to the migrations from the villages to the cities, that had a major impact upon the treatment of the elderly. In the idealized version of the past, old people had power, wisdom, and thus enjoyed important status in the frames of the family and the wider community. The conceptualization of old age in contemporary context does not include these positive stereotypes anymore. Loneliness, lack of power, insecurity and fear of old age are regularly present in these life stories. The conflict between traditional and “new” values concerning the treatment of old age at individual level could be very dramatic. In this sense, our interviewees have felt, during their life spans, the intensive changes in the treatment of old age: during their youth, when they took care of their elderly relatives and parents, and currently, through the treatment that they obtain today as elderly, from their relatives, the community or the state.
The Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Family Communication
Authors: Ivan Loredana
Published: January 2021

ICTs are increasingly prevalent across the life course. The uptake of ICTs, however, varies considerably across countries and across different age groups. Studies regarding grandparents' use of web-based services to communicate with family members (see for example Ivan/Hebblethwaite 2016) show that grandmothers are more engaged in communicating actions, although they are less technologically skilled compared to grandfathers. In the current study we approach grandmothers' use of ICTs in family communication from a critical and relational perspective. The current study focused on grandmothers, as previous research (i.e. Burke/Adamic/Marciniak 2013) has indicated that they play a central role in communication actions and family bonding. Using a focus group methodology, we engaged grandmothers from Bucharest, Romania (age 65 and older) in conversations about their everyday uses and the role of ICTs in family communication. We investigate: what media they engage with; what media they do not engage with; how they engage with these media in family interactions, particularly when communicating with children and grandchildren and the relationship between ICT use and social participation in their everyday lives. This work contributes to the current literature on how older adults use (or do not use) ICTs in their everyday lives by focusing on a range of media, including social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), online communities, blogs, and other communication platforms such as Skype, WhatsApp and email. In addition, the chapter sheds light on the family practices in the use of ICTs in Eastern European countries - largely affected by migration and with increased numbers of elderly people left behind.
Who belongs to ›the people‹? The societal boundaries of national and European notions of citizenship
Authors: Wegscheider Carsten , Nezi Roula
Published: January 2021

The process of European integration increasingly challenges the concept of national citizenship through the development of a supranational citizenship derived from countries' membership in the European Union. Previous research suggests two widespread notions of citizenship among citizens - ethnic and civic - which are both related to the development of nation states in Europe. However, we know little about the extent to which citizens' political identities influence their attitudes towards and perceptions of different notions of citizenship at the national and European level. In our analysis we argue that citizens attitudes regarding requirements for citizenship depend upon their political identity. To test our hypotheses, we use data from the second pre-release from the European Values Study (EVS) 2017. Applying Bayesian hierarchical modeling, we find that political identities determine the support or rejection of national and European restrictions on citizenship.
It's the End of the World as We See It
Authors: Mazurek Marcin
Published: January 2021

In this chapter, Marcin Mazurek offers a (post)apocalyptic interpretation of two Black Mirror episodes, “Fifteen Million Merits” and “Metalhead,” wherein the notion of the apocalypse is approached not so much in terms of its destructive potential, but as a powerful metaphor of paradigmatic transformation. Drawing from Jacques Derrida's discussion of the apocalyptic tone detectable across philosophical discourses, as well as Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's view of the evolution of the natural environment into the industrial one, Mazurek identifies in both episodes a number of disappearing binaries hitherto considered formative for the development of western consciousness. These include oppositions such as nature-culture, nature-man, masculine-feminine, organic-technological, and conscious-unconscious. This dismantling is further supported by the theories of Samuel Butler and René Descartes whose views concerning the (im)possibility of machine consciousness are also reflected in the show. Following the conviction of apocalypse's transformative rather than destructive power, the chapter concludes by offering a socio-philosophical reflection on the post-apocalyptic character of contemporary post-media western society.
Making a Killing
Authors: Ward Dan
Published: January 2021

Dan Ward focuses in his chapter on the conspicuous influence of Scandinavian crime fiction in two of the series' most evocative episodes. Crime stories originating from Northern Europe have in recent years enjoyed critical and commercial success in the fields of cinema, television and literature, spawning translations, adaptations, and even international imitations paying visible homage to the distinctive aesthetic and thematic characteristics of the form. These have become so recognisable they have evolved into a generic type of their own - »Nordic Noir«. The format has become known as much for its social and political commentary as its unique visual styling, and it is with this in mind that Ward explores the rationale, function and ultimate impact of Brooker's overt mobilisation of these conventions across the course of the focal episodes. Drawing on a range of critical perspectives on Nordic Noir and notable texts within the genre, Ward argues that the familiar social critique at the core of much Scandinavian crime fiction is co-opted by Black Mirror to bear witness to concerns around creeping surveillance and the rise of corporate technocracy in modern neoliberal societies.
The Flower People of Shanidar
Authors: Hochadel Oliver
Published: January 2021

Starting in the 1950s the image of the Neanderthal as brutish and subhuman started to give way to a vision of a much more intelligent and cultured creature. The Neanderthal finds in Shanidar, Iraq were crucial in this promotion from beast to brother were. These discoveries reached a larger public through Ralph Solecki's book Shanidar. The first flower people (1971). The pollen found seemed to indicate the burial of a Neanderthal on a bed of flowers. This hypothesis initiated a productive interaction between archaeological research and popular culture. Novels, popular science books, dioramas in museums, documentaries and movies exploited the powerful imagery of the flower burial. In all these narratives the comparison of Neanderthal and Homo sapiens is key. Our understanding of the two species can only be rendered as a histoire croisée.

Religiöse Orte werden erst durch diskursive Strategien als solche konstruiert und wahrgenommen. Auf der Grundlage jüngerer Theorien zu mehrfach gemeinsam genutzten religiösen Orten zeigt sich, dass historisch kontingente Orte mehrdeutige Räume sein können: Am Kloster Sveti Naum überlappen sich interreligiöse Aushandlungen mit Tourismus, Wirtschaft und Politik. Anhand empirisch-qualitativer Daten ihrer einjährigen Feldforschung zeigt Evelyn Reuter Kontinuitäten und Brüche im Wandel dieses Klosters auf und kontextualisiert sie in der regionalen Religionsgeschichte bis zur Gegenwart postsozialistischer Transformationsprozesse.
Lektüre als Form
Authors: Coch Charlotte
Published: January 2021

Innerhalb der aktuellen Buchmaterialitätsforschung kommt die Betrachtung der Lektüre oft zu kurz. Dies verkennt die intrikate Verschlingung von Buch und Lektüre in der Entdeckung der Druckschrift um 1800. Charlotte Coch zeigt, wie sich das »absolute Buch« bei Friedrich Schlegel im Zeichen der Arabeske als spezifisches, symmetrisches Lektüreprogramm formiert. Sie verfolgt außerdem die Umcodierung dieses Lektüreprogramms bei Walter Benjamin und Niklas Luhmann: Parallel zu einer Prozessualisierung des Formbegriffs verwandelt sich das absolute Buch von der Arabeske in das Ornament - und wird signalförmig. Damit wird Literatur als Paratext und Theorie als Metatext lesbar.
Simultaneous Pretreatment Process on The Isolation of Cellulose Mycrocrystalline from Oil Palm empty Fruit Bunches
Authors: Sampora Yulianti , Devy Yenni Apriliany , Sondari Dewi , Septevani Athanasia Amanda
Published: January 2021

This research was aimed to evaluate the isolation of cellulose derived from empty fruit bunches (EFB), especially to increase the purity of cellulose content by subsequent pretreatment process involving delignification using NaOH followed by bleaching process using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The result showed that the cellulose content of the raw EFB content at 37.6% ± 0.3 w/w increased to 89.2% ± 0.4 w/w after the simultaneous pretreatment process. Moreover, after the simultaneous of bleaching process using H2O2, the lignin content can be reduced up to 3.1% ± 0.1 w/w which similar to cellulose standard (2.7% ± w/w). The utilization of simultaneous pretreatment process can also reduce the hemicellulose content from 23.9% ± 0.3 w/w (raw EFB) to 7.7% ± 0.2 w/w even lower than the cellulose standard (13.1% w/w). FTIR spectrum showed that the peak absorption of cellulose increased significantly upon the simultaneous process of delignification-bleaching. Morphological changes of the raw EFB compared to pre-treated EFB as a note by SEM analysis showed the significant transformation from the larger size and tightly bundles of micro-fibril cellulose into smaller size and individually separated micro-fibrils. Further through the simultaneous process exhibited yield at 80-85%, high crystallinity (70-80%), and good thermal stability in terms of Tonset at about 230-290 °C. From these results, it can be concluded that the subsequent pretreatment process involving NaOH delignification and H2O2 bleaching processes more likely offer a high selectivity of cellulose microcrystalline from lignocellulosic biomass material by simultaneous reduction of the hemicellulose and lignin content without disrupting the structure of cellulose.Keywords: bleaching; cellulose; delignified; microcrystalline cellulose; oil palm empty fruit bunches

Authors: Goleń Jacek
Published: January 2021

Po ukazaniu się adhortacji apostolskiej Amoris laetitia rodzi się pytanie, jakiej odnowy wymaga przygotowanie narzeczonych do małżeństwa w Polsce. Analiza tekstu adhortacji pozwala wydobyć podstawy tejże odnowy, czyli dowartościowanie etapu wychowania w rodzinie oraz etapu pracy z parą narzeczonych, a także odpowiedni dobór treści formacyjnych, cele formacji, jej podmiot oraz zadania tegoż procesu. Pośród kierunków odnowy przygotowania do małżeństwa papieski dokument wskazuje na ewangelizację oraz mistagogiczne przygotowanie narzeczonych oraz pomoc w poznawaniu się i uczeniu miłości do konkretnej osoby. Akcentuje także pomoc w pogłębieniu motywacji zawarcia małżeństwa oraz w rozpoznaniu niezgodności i sygnałów ostrzegawczych zagrożeń wzajemnej relacji. Adhortacja rzuca także jasne światło na kierunek pracy duszpasterskiej z parami żyjącymi „bez ślubu”. Z przedstawionych przesłanek w artykule zostały sformułowane wnioski, dotyczące form przygotowania narzeczonych.
Spiralna koncepcja czasu w prawie kanonicznym – inspiracje pastoralne
Authors: Kostecka Jolanta
Published: January 2021

Autorka w artykule proponuje analizę teoretycznych i praktycznych aspektów spiralnej koncepcji czasu. W pierwszej części wyjaśnia znaczenie pojęć: czas i wieczność, a następnie omawia konstrukcję spiralnej koncepcji czasu. Kolejne części pracy odnoszą się kolejno do aspektów czasowych w prawie, spojrzenia na czas w świetle nauki Kościoła katolickiego i teologii (perspektywa wieczności) oraz do zastosowania spiralnej koncepcji czasu w normach prawa kanonicznego. Przedmiotowa koncepcja stanowi syntezę dwóch innych teorii czasu, tj. cyklicznej i linearnej. Kościelny prawodawca korzysta ze spiralnej koncepcji czasu i konstruuje normy prawne mające na celu pomoc ludziom w odnalezieniu sensu ich życia – wieczności. Istotne jest, aby ukierunkować ich na troskę o jakość przeżywanego czasu – przemianę chronos w kairos. Współcześnie powszechnym doświadczeniem staje się problem nieustannego braku czasu, pośpiechu i lęku przed śmiercią, związany w pewien sposób z utratą perspektywy wieczności. W tym kontekście kairos to czas niosący nadzieję, dający szansę na wyjście z kryzysu i rozpoczynanie od nowa – korzystając z dotychczasowych doświadczeń, powracając do pewnych zdarzeń, lecz przeżywając je niejako w ruchu spiralnym, na nowym, wyższym etapie rozwoju. Autorka zwraca również uwagę, że prawo kanoniczne jest podporządkowane misji Kościoła, która polega na prowadzeniu wiernych do wieczności. Oznacza to konieczność ciągłego rozwoju i dążenia do chrześcijańskiej doskonałości.
Piezoelectric energy generation in India: an empirical investigation
Authors: Anand Hari , Singh Binod Kumar
Published: January 2021

The consumption of energy has always been in exponential growth and also there is always an increasing demand in the requirement of energy in some way or the other. So, there is a need to search for energy availability from alternate sources of energy. The utilization of waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is relevant and important for highly populated countries like India where the railway station, temples, etc., are overcrowded all round the clock. When the flooring is engineered with piezoelectric technology, the electrical energy produced by the pressure is captured by floor sensors and converted to an electrical charge by piezo transducers, then stored and used as a power source. This paper deals with the generation of alternate sources of energy through piezoelectric materials. This research describes the use of piezoelectric materials to harvest energy from people walking vibration for generating and accumulating energy. This study also studies the perceptions and adaptability of piezoelectricity. The adaptability of piezoelectric technology in a real-time environment has been studied by comparing the overall cost of generating electricity with solar energy. This study also suggests a footstep of the piezoelectric energy harvesting model which is cost-effective and easy to implement.
DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE: Post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus: prime time for secondary disease
Authors: Petrov Maxim S
Published: January 2021

While most people with diabetes have type 2 disease, a non-negligible minority develops a secondary diabetes. Post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM) is an exemplar secondary diabetes that represents a sequela of pancreatitis – the most common disease of the exocrine pancreas. Although this type of diabetes has been known as a clinical entity since the late 19th century, early 21st century high-quality epidemiological, clinical, and translational studies from around the world have amassed a sizeable body of knowledge that have led to a renewed understanding of PPDM. People have at least two-fold higher lifetime risk of developing diabetes after an attack of pancreatitis than those in the general population without a history of diseases of the exocrine pancreas. PPDM is caused by acute pancreatitis (including non-necrotising pancreatitis, which constitutes the majority of acute pancreatitis) in four-fifth of cases and chronic pancreatitis in one-fifth of cases. Moreover, the frequency of incident diabetes is not considerably lower after acute pancreatitis than after chronic pancreatitis. Recurrent attacks of pancreatitis and exocrine pancreatic dysfunction portend high risk for PPDM, but are not mandatory for its development. Further, young- or middle-aged non-obese men have an increased risk of developing PPDM. In comparison with type 2 diabetes, PPDM is characterised by poorer glycaemic control, higher risk of developing cancer (in particular, pancreatic cancer), younger age at death, and a higher risk of mortality. Metformin monotherapy is recommended as the first-line therapy for PPDM. Appropriate screening of individuals after an attack of pancreatitis, correct identification of PPDM, and apposite management is crucial with a view to improving the outcomes of this secondary but not inappreciable disease.
Perception versus production of contact-induced cantase in Galician Spanish
Authors: Anderson Ana Maria
Published: January 2021

Though the existence of effects of Galician-Castilian contact on patterns of language use in Galicia have been well-documented, the exact scope and consequence of these effects is difficult to determine. This is due in part to the complex attitudes, both positive and negative, toward the Galician language. Because of this, societal reception of influences of Galician on Castilian –such as a heightened use of the verbal morpheme -se­– is not easily predictable, even though the form enjoys greater use in Galicia than elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world. This study explores attitudes of 39 Galicians from the province of Pontevedra toward the production of the ‑se form, as well as how these attitudes impact participants’ production of the form. Results indicate that the Galician-influenced form ‑se is more prestigious than the ‑ra form that is more common outside of Galicia, though whether participants correctly perceive which form is influenced by the minority language is unclear.

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo la identificación y delimitación del operador enunciativo en términos generales. Para ello, se ha partido metodológicamente de la Lingüística pragmática, tomando un enfoque macrosintáctico. Diferenciamos, así, su función como complemento circunstancial, dependiente del verbo principal de la oración, de aquellas otras situaciones en las que se encuentra en la periferia del enunciado, aislado por pausas, bien aún dependiente de un verbo de decir o de intelección presente en la oración (complemento marco), bien ya como un operador discursivo. En este último estadio en términos generales es una unidad fraseológica con un valor procedimental: el hablante indica que transmite su mensaje de manera no detallada ni fiel a la realidad. Advierte del incumplimiento de las máximas de cantidad y calidad, para así evitar posibles objeciones. De este modo, esta construcción entra a formar parte del mismo paradigma que otros elementos que comparten su base léxica y su función enunciativa: en general, por lo general o generalmente. Constatamos, así, la rentabilidad de un adjetivo como general en la formación de operadores del discurso

Background. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable cardiomyopathy, characterized by fibrofatty replacement of myocytes in the right ventricular, left ventricular or both ventricles. It is caused by pathogenic variants of genes encoding desmosomal (JUP, DSP, PKP2, DSG2, DSC2) and non-desmosomal proteins, and is one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Therefore, early identification, correct prevention and treatment can prevent adverse outcomes.Case report. Our case presents a 65-years-old man with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. The ischemic cause was the first to rule out. Echocardiography revealed right ventricular structural and functional abnormalities. After suspicion of ARVC, magnetic resonance imaging was performed showing reduced right ventricular ejection fraction with local aneurysms, structural changes ir the right and left myocardium. Subsequently performed genetic testing identified a novel ARVC likely pathogenic variant in DSC2 gene and variant of uncertain significance in RYR2 gene.Conclusions. Diagnostic evaluation of ARVC is challenging and requires multidisciplinary team collaboration. Further functional tests for elucidation of the clinical significance of the two novel variants of ARVC-associated genes could be suggested.
Theoretical aspects of energy consumption acoustic evaluation at the jet grinding
Authors:   National Technical Univercity «Dnipro Polytechnic», Gorobets L.J. , Verhorobina I.V. ,   Institute of Geotechnical Mechanics named by N. Poljakov of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
Published: January 2021

The objective of this work was to develop an acoustic method for evaluating energy consumption during the jet mill operation on the basis of the new generalized physical laws of material dispersion at it destruction. Theoretical explanation is given to the problem of energy consumption diminish in the mode of fine grinding. Dependences between the product dispersion and critical energy density in the course of destruction are described. The acoustic-emissive parameters of dispersion of the samples loaded by compression and results of acoustic estimation of the jet grinding are considered. Interrelation between the gas-jet mill performance and parameters impacting on the energy consumption are analyzed. Grounds are given for using a criterion of extremal control of the working process for maintaining maximal performance. An acoustic size effect of dispersion is formulated by the analogy with dynamic size effect of destruction (DSE). A new approach to evaluation of energy consumed by the jet mill is developed from positions of unity of nature and mechanism of the loaded body destruction with community of manifestation of physical laws of acoustic emission and effects of new surface formation on the destroyed particles. Leading role in the methodology of energy consumption evaluation is given to the coefficient gN (J/imp) of transformation of the consumed energy into acoustic radiation at optimal mode of the mill operations (at maximum performance), which is calculated as a ratio of the reduced work (energy) to the acoustic signal counts in the grinding zone. Current energy consumption ЕDt (J) for period Dt (s) of work is calculated with taking into account coefficient gN (J/imp) and average (for the interval Dt) acoustic activity (imp/s). It is possible to maintain minimum energy consumption at the jet grinding by the snap-acting control of jets loading up to the level of the measured acoustic activity in the grinding zone, at which a “conditionally permanent” value of coefficient gN can be achieved. The results of acoustic evaluation of effective surface energy at optimal grinding mode correspond to the range of estimation gs in the regularity of the DSE destruction. This fact confirms validity of the dispersion theory (including the acoustic size effect) use for evaluating current energy consumption in the course of the jet mill operation.
The Impact of Assessment Training on EFL Writing Classroom Assessment: Voices of Mexican University Teachers
Authors: González Elsa Fernanda
Published: January 2021

The extent to which writing assessment training (WAT) impacts writing scores has been widely explored in L2 testing contexts. However, little is known of the benefits of WAT to classroom assessment of writing. This paper analyzes the impact of two WAT sessions on the classroom assessment of writing of eleven EFL Mexican university teachers. Twenty-two interview transcripts suggested an impact in three main areas: classroom teaching of writing, classroom assessment of writing, and teacher self-awareness. The category of teacher self-awareness displayed the most impact. The paper proposes a categorization of impact on writing assessment.
A Practice-Based Approach to Foreign Language Teacher Preparation: A Cross-Continental Collaboration
Authors: Barahona Malba , Davin Kristin J.
Published: January 2021

The international trend towards a practice-based approach in teacher education has permeated foreign language teacher education and English language teaching. A practice-based approach is based on the understanding that teachers learn to teach a language by engaging in “actual” teaching rather than “talking” about teaching. We report on the implementation of a practice-based approach in two different contexts: an initial English teacher education program in Chile and an initial foreign language teacher education program in the United States. We provide practical recommendations and areas of caution for future enactments. The findings demonstrate that incorporating a practice-based approach into the university classroom offers a useful affordance for examining and illuminating the complexities of foreign language teaching practice across contexts.
Enacting Agency and Valuing Rural Identity by Exploring Local Communities in the English Class
Authors: Paredes-Mendez Lucelly , Troncoso-Rodriguez Ingrid Alexandra , Lastra-Ramirez Sandra Patricia
Published: January 2021

This article reports on an action research study about the exploration of local communities to enact agency and value rural identity. Thirty-three students from a rural public school in Colombia participated in the study. Our aim was to examine ways in which students enacted agency as a result of participating in local community inquiry to realize the predominant value of their identity as farmers. Data were gathered through a focus group, interviews, students’ artifacts, and teacher journals. Results showed that when communities are linked with classroom practices and foreign language learning, English becomes a vehicle to explore their places, who they are as members of the community, and how to promote decision making to help others.

Published: January 2021

Since its description, the troglobitic amphipod Hyalella veredae Cardoso & Bueno, 2014 has been recorded only in its type locality, Vereda da Palha cave, in southeastern Brazil. We report this species from three other caves in the region, expanding its distribution by at least 20 km². Inter- and intra-population variability in eye size was observed. Two caves had larger populations, probably due to the presence of biofilm. The species was classified as Critically Endangered due to its restricted area of occurrence, and regional impacts and threats.

Published: January 2021

Abstract: This article describes the policy of the Islamic fiscal management system managed by the state with the aim of improving the people welfare during the Khulafa ar-Rasyidin era. This study uses a normative historical method and an exploratory approach that refers to various relevant literatures and is analyzed qualitatively. This research shows that the culture of the Islamic fiscal management system during the Khulafa ar-Rasyidin era tended to continue the Prophet's culture and development which included a balanced budget policy, as evidenced by the instruments of zakat, ghanimah, kharraj, jizyah, waqf, and others, and distributed for the welfare of society. The policy of managing the Islamic fiscal system is now widely used as a reference for developing a modern fiscal system. This result of this study found that the policy of the Prophet Muhammad regarding on fiscal management was continued by Khulafa ar-Rasyidin, which was a representation of the principles of public spending in the social, political, economics, and security context, whose it was based on the principle of a balanced budget policy. And then, the utilization of zakat, jizyah, kharaj, ghanimah, and waqf instruments as the sources of the state budget at this period, illustrating the dynamics of the caliph's fiscal policy progressively during the Khulafa ar-Rasyidin era, which was succeeded in bringing the Muslims to be in the golden age. Unfortunately, after the fall of the Abbasid Dynasty and continued to the colonialization period, Islamic fiscal policy was also declined.

Generic masculines – masculine forms used for women – are employed in many languages, for example English (Mills 2008), French (Coady 2018), Spanish (Bengoechea 2011) and German (Motschenbacher 2016), providing accounts of how gender is made visible in the language through morphological, lexical and syntactic units. These accounts are also linked with how gender is seen in societies and culture, reproducing an imbalance between women and men. Specifically, language discrimination against women is based on the idea that speakers orient themselves towards androcentric language, recognising ‘men’ as a metonym for the group ‘human being’ (Alvanoudi 2014), causing a linguistic invisibility of women.

Similarly, studies in Italian have also discussed the use of masculine forms to refer to, talk about and describe women (Cavagnoli 2013), or have shown how these are used in specialised (Nardone 2016, 2018) or media corpora (Formato 2014, 2016, 2019). This article investigates the use of a specific (and underexamined) generic masculine in Italian – namely, the indefinite pronoun uno.m.sg (in comparison with una.f.sg) labelled ‘impersonal masculine’ (Formato 2019:69) – in three subcorpora of the Perugia Corpus (TV, Web and Spoken; Spina 2014). Uno.m.sg is seen as constructing ‘extended intersubjectivity’, that is, the awareness of a general third party (3rdP) acting as the social bearer of the utterance (Tantucci 2013, 2016, 2017a). The results show that the masculine impersonal uno.m.sg is widely used in the three subcorpora and in several functions, confirming that grammatically gendered language is still employed within a ‘masculine as a norm’ order.

Abstract: Honey produced by native stingless bees in the Araucaria Forest region of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, specifically the municipality of Cambará do Sul, is highly valued for its characteristic white color, floral odor and taste. In this study, we investigated the botanical origin of white honey stored in colonies of five Meliponini species of the genera Melipona (n = 3) and Plebeia (n = 2). During the production period of white honey, from January to March, flowers were sampled fortnightly along pre-established trails to identify plants used by bees. For all sampled plant species, exsiccates and pollen reference slides were prepared. Honey samples from stingless bees were processed for extraction and preparation of pollen grains for identification of pollen types. In all analyzed honey samples, pollen grains of Clethra scabra (Clethraceae) were predominant (between 46-94%). Pollen grains from other botanical families, including Myrtaceae, Fabaceae and Melastomataceae were frequently identified in honey samples of the Melipona species, while Cunoniaceae was also found in samples of Plebeia species. In this study, we concluded that Clethra scabra is predominantly used by Meliponini bees in the production of white honey in the municipality of Cambará do Sul.

ABSTRACT: In this study we evaluated the effects of the prepartum anionic diet on the electrolyte balance and calcemia of high producing dairy cows in the first days of lactation, and investigated the impact on the frequency of subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH). Sixty healthy Holstein cows, producing 30 kg of milk/day, handled in intensive system (compost barn), were distributed in groups (n=15) according to lactation order: first, second, third, and fourth to sixth. In the last three weeks before calving they received a diet with negative DCAD (-6mEq/100g DM) and high chloride content. After calving, they received a diet with positive DCAD (18mEq/100g DM). Urine pH was measured before calving. Serum Na+, Cl-, K+, and total Ca concentrations, and the strong ion difference (SID3) were determined in samples taken soon after calving (0h), 24, 48, 72 and 96h after. The frequencies of SCH were determined considering the critical value of 2.125mmol/L (8.5mg/dL). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA and chi-square test were used for comparisons. The cows eliminated acidic urine before calving. Na+, K+, Cl-, and SID3 values did not differ between groups. Na+ and K+ did not vary between days; Cl- was elevated at calving and decreased until 72h; and SID3 was reduced at calving and increased up to 48h. The Ca levels were reduced until 24h and increased up to 72h. Cows of third and fourth to sixth lactations presented lower values up to 24h. SCH was observed in almost half of the cows (43.3% to 55%) until 48h. The maintenance of hypocalcemia for three or more consecutive days occurred in 53.3% of third and fourth to sixth lactations cows. Ingestion of a high chloride prepartum anionic diet led to hyperchloremic acidosis and this imbalance was reversed on the second postpartum day. The induced effects on electrolyte and acid-base balances were not able to prevent the occurrence of SCH in the first days of lactation.

ABSTRACT: This study performed a histomorphometric analysis of the retina and estimated the visual acuity of three fruit-eating bats of the genus Artibeus, including Artibeus lituratus, Artibeus planirostris and Artibeus obscurus. In total, 13 animals were used for this study, in which the retinas were hemidisected, fixed, cut, and stained. The visual acuity was determined by the density of ganglion cells in the retina and the retinal layers were also measured from histological sections. The retinas of these bats are avascular, do not present tapetum lucidum in any quadrant, and have the 10 retinal layers common in mammals. Moreover, it was observed that the thickness of the retina in the central region was significantly higher in all measured parameters (p<0.001), except for the outer plexiform layer (OPL) which was significantly higher in the peripheral region (p<0.001). The retinas of the three species showed a horizontal visual streak with a higher concentration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) at the inferotemporal region. In addition, the species A. lituratus exhibited extras areas of high cell density in the retina. Thus, A. lituratus showed the highest visual acuity (1.92 cycles/degree), while A. planirostris showed a visual acuity of (1.77 cycles/degree) and A. obscurus exhibited the lowest visual acuity (1.50 cycles/degree). All these characteristics are related to the echolocation system and the eating habits of each species. Therefore, it can be concluded that bats of the genus Artibeus have a high visual acuity value compared to other echolocating bats and all these differences might be directly linked to the phylogeny of the genus.

Abstract: Introduction: The inclusion of new methodologies and assessments in the medical education area has indicated the need to understand teachers’ perception of their own ability to use them adequately. Objective: Thus, the present study aimed to investigate possible associations between teacher self-efficacy and the use of OSCE. Method: The Teacher Self-efficacy Scale and Self-Efficacy Sources Scale and a characterization questionnaire were used. Forty-seven medical teachers from a private university, of both genders, aged between 31 and 78 years, participated in the study. Results: The results indicated that the factors Social Persuasion and Vicarious Learning were the most endorsed, suggesting that these sources are the ones that interfere the most in the formation of the participants’ beliefs. There was only one positive and statistically significant correlation, with a weak magnitude, established between the Intentionality of Action Efficacy and Vicarious Learning. The other identified correlations were statistically negative and of moderate magnitude. Conclusions: The teachers who agreed with some important characteristics about the OSCE method also showed higher levels of self-efficacy. Therefore, professionals with greater perseverance, resilience and confidence, have also been more committed to teaching, research and student assistance.

ABSTRACT Knowledge on the nutritional demands of different potato genotypes is necessary for the development of fertilizing recommendations. This study aimed to determine and compare the macronutrient accumulation curves in the Agata, Asterix, BRSIPR Bel and F183-08-01 potato genotypes, in order to subsidize the split fertilization that could meet the specific demands of each genotype. A randomized block design was used, with the treatments (genotypes × plant stages) arranged in a split-plot scheme, with three replications. The genotypes were grown in plots containing 75 plants each. The subplots within a plot contained four plants each and corresponded to the number of days after planting, when destructive samples of whole plants were collected. The plants from the subplots were harvested at 24, 38, 52, 66 and 80 days after planting, to estimate the dry mass accumulated by different parts of the plant (shoots + roots, tubers and whole plants), as well as to determine the macronutrient accumulation curves. F183-08-01 presented the highest total accumulation of N, Ca, Mg and S (141.37, 29.21, 25.16 and 22.36 kg ha-1, respectively). The highest rates of macronutrient accumulation for all the potato genotypes occurred at 24 days after planting, coinciding with the beginning of the tubers formation.

ABSTRACT In order to meet the need for nutrients or soil cover, when plants are used as green manure, it is necessary to determine the ideal plant population, as well as the amount and duration of released nutrients. This study aimed to assess the decomposition and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) release rates of vetiver grass mulch. A split-plot arrangement was used, with the plots consisting of mulch decomposition times after cutting (0, 15, 25, 70 and 125 days) and the subplots of vetiver plant densities (1, 2, 3 and 4 plants m-2). A randomized block design was used, with four replications. The highest release rates for N, P and K were recorded during the first five days. The plant density of 3 plants m-2 exhibited the highest mulch dry weight at 125 days and contained more N, P and K, when compared to the populations of 1, 2 and 4 plants m-2.
