Modern concepts of attention systems
Authors: Voronin N.A.
Published: March 2017

A three-component model of neural networks of human attention, including modules of maintaining vigilance (alerting), orientation (orienting) and executive control (executive attention), summarizes the data of a large number of studies concerning the function of human attention in norm and in pathological conditions. This article describes the main provisions of this theory and discusses the experimental evidence in its favor. Despite the widespread dissemination of this model in the past decade, relatively small number of works devoted to the study of the development of attention operations and their brain mechanisms in childhood. The article attempts to summarize the data on the development of neural networks of attention. The results showed that the development of attention operations in ontogenesis occurs in different terms, and this heterochrony partially determines the degree of their plasticity in relation to the shaping influences. Consideration of experiments aimed at modification of attention processes, finalizing the review, shows a wide range of areas for application of knowledge and new research in relevant to modern science directions.

The article provides a brief overview of the most well-known foreign computerized training programs, gives idea of skills in social cognition (SC), presents data on the effectiveness of these programs, the possibilities and limitations of application of computer technologies in training SC, and also a number of conclusions about the perspectives of their application.
Defining Disability: Understandings of and Attitudes Towards Ableism and Disability
Authors: Friedman Carli , Owen Aleksa L.
Published: March 2017

Disabled people, amidst political and social gains, continue to experience discrimination in multiple areas. Understanding how such discrimination, named here as ableism, operates is important and may require studying perspectives of people who do not claim a disability identity.  Ableism may be expressed in a number of ways, and examining how a particular group, in this case siblings of disabled people, understand and value disability may contribute to overall understandings about how ableism works. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore relationships between siblings of disabled people's broad societal understandings of disability and their attitudes towards it. In order to tease out this relationship further we have also examined factors that impact how people define disability. Using both social psychological and sociological approaches, we have contextualized individual attitudes as providing additional new information about social meanings of disability, and set this study's results against the larger backdrops of debates over meanings of disability within Disability Studies. In our research, participants revealed complex understandings of disability, but most often defined disability as preventing or slowing action, as an atypical function, a lack of independence, and as a socially constructed obstacle. Participants' unconscious (implicit) disability attitudes significantly related to their understandings of disability as lacking independence, impairment, and/or in relation to the norm, and their conscious (explicit) disability attitudes. Moreover, longer employment in a disability-related industry was correlated with defining disability as a general difference, rather than as slowing or limiting of tasks.
Semiotics of Otherness in Japanese Mythology
Authors: Okuyama Yoshiko
Published: March 2017

This article examines the tropes of "otherness" embedded in Japanese myths and legends in which the protagonist has a physical or intellectual disability to uncover the sociohistorical attitudes toward such people in Japan. Using the theory of semiotics, I will explicate the narrative signifiers of "the Other" represented in Japanese mythology; examine the binary perceptions of disability in ancient myths, medieval literature, and latter-day folklore in Japan; and demonstrate how perceptions have changed historically. I argue that some of these antique perceptions of the Other that have survived in contemporary Japanese consciousness may be hampering our effort to understand human variation.
Race, Apology, and Public Memory at Maryland's Hospital for the 'Negro' Insane
Authors: Stuckey Zosha
Published: March 2017

To respond to a recent demand of the ACLU of Maryland, and to augment theories from Disability Incarcerated (2014) about the convergence of race, disability, and due process (or lack thereof), this essay analyzes the extent to which racism informed the creation of Maryland's Hospital for the 'Negro' Insane (Crownsville Hospital). In order to understand the extent of racism in Crownsville's earlier years, I will take into account 14 categories within conditions of confinement from 1921-1928 and compare them to the nearby, white asylum. Ultimately, the hospital joins the ranks of separate and unequal (Plessy vs. Ferguson) institutions founded alongside a rhetoric of fear that the Baltimore Sun daily paper deemed "a Black invasion" of the city of Baltimore. Even more, I add to public memory of this racialized space invoking the rhetorical frame, as Kendall Phillips advises, of responsibility and apology (versus absolution) within the context of present-day racial justice movements.

Testament
Authors: Heit Stephanie
Published: March 2017

As an empowering antidote to the psychiatric system, this piece repossesses and plays with medical establishment language. It indexes the drugs and treatments for bipolar disorder I’ve tried over the course of twenty years and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. Initially written after a series of inpatient stays in my late 20’s, I recently revised "Testament" after another inpatient intensive period to include new treatment trials and psych unit jargon.  An audio recording of "Testament" is available at http://hdl.handle.net/1811/79959

Un/covering: Making Disability Identity Legible
Authors: Evans Heather Dawn
Published: March 2017

This article examines one aspect of disability identity among people with non-apparent or "invisible" disabilities: the decision to emphasize, remind others about, or openly acknowledge impairment in social settings. I call this process "un/covering," and situate this concept in the sociological and Disability Studies literature on disability stigma, passing, and covering. Drawing on interviews with people who have acquired a non-apparent impairment through chronic illness or injury, I argue that decisions to un/cover (after a disability disclosure has already been made) play a pivotal role for this group in developing a strong, positive disability identity and making that identity legible to others. Decisions to pass, cover, or un/cover are ongoing decisions that stitch together the fabric of each person's daily life experiences, thus serving as primary mechanisms for identity negotiation and management.
Armazenamento de atemoias (Annona squamosa x Annona cherimola) recobertas com filme PVC
Authors: De Souza P. A. , Freitas R. V. da S. , Batista E. M. , Da Costa F. B. , Maracajá P. B.
Published: March 2017

A atemoia, assim como todos os frutos climatéricos, apresenta uma elevada perecibilidade, tornando-se importante a adoção de técnicas pós-colheita. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o armazenamento de atemoias recobertas com filme PVC. Os frutos utilizados foram da variedade ‘Gefner’ apresentando-se em estado de maturação verde-maduro. Estes foram transferidos para o laboratório de Química de Alimentos do IFCE, submetidos à higienização e divididos nos devidos tratamentos. O primeiro tratamento constou no armazenamento de cinco frutos em bandejas de isopor recobertos com filme PVC. O segundo, do recobrimento individual dos frutos em filme PVC, sendo estes acondicionados em bandejas de isopor e os frutos do controle. Estes foram armazenados durante 8 dias. O delineamento utilizado foi o DIC em esquema fatorial 3x4 com quatro repetições de cinco frutos por parcela. A cada tempo de armazenamento foram avaliadas: perda de massa, sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável, Ratio, pH e índice de rachaduras. O uso de filme plástico reduz a perda de massa, porém retarda o amadurecimento de frutos de atemoia. As rachaduras estão diretamente associadas ao amadurecimento dos frutos, ao aumento dos teores de sólidos solúveis e possivelmente a cultivar avaliada. 

Storage of atemoyas (Annona squamosa x Annona cherimola) covered with PVC film

Abstract: The atemoya, as well as all climacteric fruits, is highly perishable, becoming important to adopt post-harvest techniques. This work aimed to evaluate the atemoyas storage covered with plastic wrap. The fruits used were of the variety 'Gefner' presenting itself in a state of green-mature aging. These were transferred to the Food Chemistry Lab IFCE submitted to cleaning and divided in appropriate treatments. The first treatment consisted in five fruit storage in styrofoam trays covered with plastic wrap. The second, the individual coating of the fruits in PVC film, which are packed in styrofoam trays and control fruits. These were stored for 8 days. The design was the DIC in 3x4 factorial with four replicates of five fruits per plot. Each storage time were evaluated: weight loss, soluble solids, titratable acidity, ratio, pH and cracking index. The use of plastic film reduces the weight loss, however retards the ripening of atemoya fruit. The cracks are directly associated with fruit ripening, increased soluble solids and possibly the cultivar evaluated.

Published: March 2017

El presente artículo presenta un marco metodológico para el análisis de textos en ciencias sociales, el cual hemos apoyado en los enfoques hermenéuticos. Estos diversos enfoques asumen que todo discurso es portador de significado -sea este veraz o no- y por demás expresa complejas relaciones sociales. Por lo tanto cualquier análisis de contenido, pasa por ser en últimas un cierto tipo de hermenéutica (interpretación), en tanto que intenta dar cuenta de múltiples fenómenos inmersos en la producción, aplicación, uso y reproducción del saber al interior del texto.
"Andar, narrar". Experiencias a/r/tográficas basadas en el paseo como propuesta de intervención en diferentes contextos.
Authors: Martínez Morales María
Published: March 2017

Con el presente trabajo se pretende exponer una serie de experiencias a/r/tográfica Â ligadas a la acción de andar como práctica artística, educativa y de investigación al mismo tiempo con la intención de poner en práctica formas de hacer que favorezcan dinámicas de relación con el entorno como espacio social y de intercambio. Para ello, doy cuenta del recorrido que me lleva a exponerÂ  la acción de andar como práctica artística, propuesta de intervención e investigación educativa al mismo tiempo. En este sentido, entiendo la acción de andar desde un posicionamiento crítico, artístico y pedagógico, y por tanto político, con la intención de generar conocimiento basado en procesos artísticos y abrir ese medio a nuevos recorridos por explorar en ámbitos de educación formal y no formal. De esta manera, a lo largo de la investigación surgen espacios intermedios muy enriquecedores al vincular ambas prácticas en una misma acción, desde la mirada relacional y en continuo movimiento que propone la a/r/tografía.

Authors: Vega-Umbasía Leonardo Alberto , Fernández-Gallego Ãlvaro Alfonso , Giraldo-Navia Néstor Raúl
Published: March 2017

Este artículo se propone describir cómo los entornos sociales (familiares, barriales y escolares) están asociados a la problemática de la violencia escolar en las instituciones educativas públicas de las ciudades de Manizales y Armenia. Con un enfoque cuantitativo, de diseño transversal y alcance descriptivo, se aplicaron 500 encuestas a estudiantes de grados sexto a once y 30 a docentes y coordinadores. Los resultados muestran que los entornos sociales residenciales y escolares tienen variaciones notables en las dos capitales. En Manizales los entornos vecinales representan una mayor exposición a la venta y consumo de sustancias psico-activas, barras o pandillas futboleras y a personal armado; en Armenia, sus entornos escolares presencian y tienen mayor influencia las dinámicas violentas o adictivas.Â
Las mediciones masivas: una producción política de sentidos y significados sobre los sistemas educativos
Authors: Sánchez Rodríguez Carmenza
Published: March 2017

El artículo recoge reflexiones producto de revisiones documentales y discusiones con docentes y expertos en evaluación educativa. Lo cual ha permito trascender la comprensión de la evaluación desde una práctica técnica a una práctica política producida desde una visión de mundo que legitima e instala ciertos sentidos y significados sobre los sistemas educativos y sus actores, generando unas formas específicas de relación y organización que producen exclusión. En esta perspectiva se analizan algunos de los sentidos y significados producidos por las prácticas de medición masivas que, presentadas como una práctica técnica, obvian la discusión de las visiones de mundo, concepciones y valoraciones desde las cuales son producidas. Se abordan las concepciones sobre la evaluación, el conocimiento evaluado, las culturas reconocidas y los procesos de exclusión que se generan a partir de estas prácticas, así como sus efectos para las instituciones y los sujetos, concluyendo que las pruebas son invenciones del siglo XX, y los problemas pedagógicos y técnicos que ocultan no han sido discutidos, pero especialmente se han ignorado sus implicaciones en términos de calidad y equidad y su papel político en la reproducción y legitimación de las diferencias.
An Integrated Case Management Model to Assist Pacific Youth Offenders and Their Families in Australia
Authors: Ravulo Jioji
Published: March 2017

Pasifika Support Services (PSS) was a program managed by a nongovernment organization, Mission Australia, and funded by the New South Wales Premiers Office to meet the needs of young offenders from a Pacific background. PSS ran from June 2005 to June 2009 and implemented a cost-effective integrated case management model with the New South Wales Police Force adapted to address social risk factors specific to Pacific youth offenders and family support networks. Sixty young people were reviewed regarding the outcomes achieved through their participation, further supported by an evaluation carried out by an external evaluator who found that 65% of participants did not reoffend after 18 months of completing the program. An importance of developing a shared approach to employing a holistic and intensive model of case management that affects individual, community, and organizational change through culturally relevant processes and practices, paired with a cross institutional commitment underpins the various outcomes discussed.
Management of Severe Periodontal Abscesses Using a Laser and Light‐Emitting Diode Procedure Adjunctive to Scaling and Root Planing: A Case Series
Authors: Giannelli Marco , Materassi Fabrizio , Lorenzini Luca , Bani Daniele
Published: March 2017

Introduction: The current literature reports different treatment procedures for periodontal abscesses mainly based on empiricism, but an evidence‐based treatment of choice is still lacking. This case series shows the favorable results of a multilaser/light‐emitting diode (LED) treatment, termed photoablative‐photodynamic (PAPD) laser/LED therapy, adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the management of acute periodontal abscesses.

Case Series: Six patients underwent photoablation of the contaminated gingival epithelium by diode laser (λ 810 nm), irradiation with a λ 405‐nm LED, SRP, and repeated photodynamic treatments with 0.3% methylene blue activated with a λ 635‐nm diode laser to achieve antiseptic and anti‐inflammatory effects. Clinical examination and cytofluorescent analysis were used to evaluate the effects of this combined treatment. Subjective pain/discomfort was scored by a visual analog scale and questionnaire.

Conclusion: Within the limitations of this case series, the present results indicate that the described PAPD laser/LED treatment performed in adjunct to conventional SRP can be a valuable approach to the treatment of acute periodontal abscesses because it is capable of accelerating periodontal healing while avoiding the use of local or systemic antibiotics and flap surgery.
Teaching Students’Understanding of Innovative Pedagogy
Authors: Naifeld Edni , Simon Eitan
Published: March 2017

The education system, is responsible for the training of each new generation, and consequently adapts itself over the years to changes in the surrounding society. Technological changes, the information revolution and changes in work habits necessitate fundamental change in teaching methods, so that it can appropriately prepare future generations for modern reality. The Teaching and Education College in northern Israel offers programs to train “future teachers”, highlighting dynamic environments, the integration of technology in teaching and innovative pedagogy. A qualitative study used an open-ended questionnaire to investigate students’ perceptions of the concepts “innovative pedagogy” and “integration of technology in teaching” during their first practicum year in the education system. Findings showed that the young students find it difficult to conceptualize these concepts and describe them in a superficial and concrete manner. Mediation is needed, to connect college learning of these concepts with the students’ practical work in the field.
The Effects of Budget Deficit on Economic Growth and Development: The Experience of Ghana (1994 – 2014)
Authors: Kurantin Napoleon
Published: March 2017

This paper surveyed and access the empirical literature on the sources of budget deficit and their policy implications on the processes of sustainable economic growth and development. The Ghanaian experience and evidence shows that the budget is not projected to be on a sustainable growth path under current socio-economic and political (governance) policies; the budget is projected to increase more quickly than the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The modeling of underlying variables (Inflation, Gross Domestic Product, Real Interest Rate, Gross Investment, Real Exchange Rate) to estimate the quantitative effect of continued budget deficit on the rate of economic growth, governance and development. The sample used for this study is based on panel data-sets between 1994 and 2014. Results obtained from the analysis pointed to an adverse impact of continued budget deficit on the processes of economic growth and development. The paper recommends the adoption and implementation of policies that could reverse the un-sustained budget deficit leading to crowding out of the private investment but rather, put the economic on a sustained path of growth and, development in the medium to long term.
Effects of Mentoring in the Utilization and Improvisation of Biology Learning Resources on the Performance of Senior Secondary School Students in South West Nigeria
Authors: Elizabeth Olu-Ajayi Funmilayo
Published: March 2017

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mentoring in the utilization and improvisation of Biology learning resources on the performance of senior secondary school students. The main purpose of this study is to mentor the senior secondary students on the utilization of the available Biology learning resources in their schools and the improvisation of unavailable resources, when necessary, for effective learning. The study employed the quasi-experimental design which utilizes non-randomized pretest, post-test, and experimental-control group system. The population of the study was made up of senior secondary school students in South West Nigeria. The sample consisted of 180 Biology students selected from six secondary schools. The sampling technique was multi stage, involving simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The instruments used in the study were Biology learning Resources Questionnaire (BLRQ) and Biology Concept Test (BCT). There was a mentoring package involving a Supplemental Instruction Learning Model. The instrument was validated by experts in science education and test evaluation, and the reliability of the instruments was ascertained using test-retest method. Reliability coefficients of 0.72 and 0.67 were obtained through Pearsons Product Moment correlation statistics. The BCT was administered as both pre-test and posttest, while BLRQ was used to gather information on available learning resources in the secondary schools. In addition, SILM was used for treatment. Data collected were analyzed using Pearsons Product Moment Correlation. It was discovered from the study that mentoring served as an effective tool in encouraging the utilization of available and improvisation of unavailable, but needed, learning resources for Biology teaching and learning in secondary schools. This was discovered to improve students' performance in Biology. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations were made. Among which was that mentoring should be used by Biology teachers as an adjunct to normal classroom teaching, especially in improvisation of learning resources for experiment demonstration during practicals, for effective performance by students.
Passing Before ‘Passing’: The Ambivalent Identity of the Narrator in Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man
Authors: Al-Shraah Bassam M.
Published: March 2017

James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is considered by many as an early seminal censure and commentary on the contested racial issue of African American in the United States of America. This paper argues that the ‘invisible’ protagonist of the Novel has passed for white as early as his childhood years. The narrator relinquishes his black identity for the conveniences and supremacy that the white identity entails. This paper brings to question the credibility of narrative in the novel; also, it proves that the narrator contradicts himself. The invisible narrator appears not to have a firm stance regarding the atrocities suffered by his own people—African Americans. People of color in the United States were caught between two cultures, identities, and lives. The un-named narrator has taken the least troubled road. He announces his passing for white at the end of the novel. This study contends that he has done so long time ago before he literally announces his passing.

Published: March 2017

This study, which was carried out in order to identify the problems faced by Turkish women living abroad with respect to dress culture, is a descriptive study based on a scan model. The sample group for this study comprised 394 Turkish women aged 20 and over living in London in the United Kingdom, which is home to many cultures as well as its own specific culture. As a result of an analysis of the data obtained from the survey prepared by the researcher it was determined that people coming to London from the major cities in Turkey encountered fewer problems with respect to dress culture than people coming from towns and villages in Turkey, and that people with an income of less than £1,000 a month experienced more problems than people with a higher level of income. Furthermore, it was also determined that the sample group aged 50 and over experienced more adaptation problems with respect to dress culture, and that these problems were generally due to the length of clothing and how revealing it was.
Workplace Stress and Employee Wellbeing: Case of Health Care Staff in UAE
Authors: Khan Nasreen , Khurshid Sofia
Published: March 2017

Workplace stress is a world-wide concern and has been a subject of researchers, academicians, authorities and decision makers’ interest. It has evidently been considered to be causing poor performance, reduced employee morale, lack of autonomy, job insecurity and to greater extent the employee's wellbeing. Employees in healthcare and hospitality sector work in 24*7 work schedule due to the demanding nature of the industry. Empirical evidences have indicated that employee experience high stress on account of work overload and long working hours taking a toll on their mental and physical well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of workplace stress on employee well-being among staff employees in the health care sector and hospitals in UAE. A total of 150 employees working at staff level in health care centers and hospitals in UAE were surveyed. The results showed that workplace has negative impact on employee well-being and the impact was found to be weak. The findings of the study suggest that an increase in workplace stresses will reduce wellbeing of employees. The researchers recommend that in order to reduce the impact of stress on employee well-being organizational support, family support and social support is essential.

Framework for Management of Post-Conflict Waste in Libya
Authors: Ali Ashraf , Ezeah Chukwunonye
Published: March 2017

An important aspect of the Libyan conflict since the 2011 Arab Spring is the generation and management of huge volumes of construction and demolition (C&D) type waste, arising from conflict-related damage to the built environment. Estimates put the amount of Post-Conflict Waste (PCW) at about 82 million tonnes, much of which comprises potentially useful materials that could be reused or further processed and used in construction and other sectors of the economy. This paper presents and discusses the challenges that affect the use, reuse and recycling of such materials. To validate findings from literature, a pilot questionnaire survey of 70 professionals working in the waste management sector was carried out to identify the barriers constraining sustainable management of solid waste stream in three major Libyan cities. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 20.0. Based on the identified barriers, a framework for sustainable management of post-conflict waste arising in Libya has been designed in line with the medium-term infrastructure development objectives of the Libyan government. The paper recommends an urgent revision of applicable legislation and the formulation of new ones to address identified gaps in sustainable waste management. It is envisaged that results from this study will help underpin post-conflict sustainable development goals in Libya.
Mobilites Et Pratiques Socio-Spatiales Des Populations Des Zones Periurbaines De Daloa (Centre-Ouest De La Cote d’Ivoire)
Authors: Florent Gohourou , Combo Mafou Kouassi , Armand Zadou Didié
Published: March 2017

Currently, the urban spreading out is the core issue of all the territory management policy. In Côte d'Ivoire, it is particularly the main cause of over-mobility at the level of the displacements of proximity. This situation leads us to find out the real reasons for this generalized mobility among the concerned populations. Based on an inquiry strip, this study sets a broad map of the mobility and the spatial practices of the moving populations of four urban outskirts of Daloa: Bribouo, Sapia, Zaguiguia and Wandaguhé. The inquiry confirms the complexity and diversity that characterize the mobility practices by the so-called new-urban populations. On the one hand, the mobility of the urban outskirts populations are based on an unlimited number of factors such as: working life, social life, everyday life and depend on a large number of factors like: sex, residing duration, social status, community charges and finally differ from one individual to another. On the other hand, these populations are mainly in keeping with their movements on the scale of their villages and the whole city of Daloa.
Rendimiento Académico Y Otras Variables Psicosocio-Familiares En Alumnos De Educación Secundaria Obligatoria
Authors: Broc Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2017

This paper attempts to raise awareness of the need to transfer the research linking academic performance mainly personal and endogenous variables (intra-psychic), to other family, social and contextual, in order to expand and add with new data some of the shortcomings obtained on the results of research based on the theories of traits and factors, the differentialfactorial approach to intelligence and clinical models. Significant empirical data were obtained in some variables, which provide an “optimal constellation of variables” which may be more likely to achieve better academic achievement. 317 students of Secondary Education were part of this research in a public center of Zaragoza (Aragon-Spain) with a high level of immigration (53%), who were given an “ad hoc” Family Settings, Psychosocial and Contextual Questionnaire” whose factorial analysis yielded three factors: Context Immigration, Family Settings and academic autobiographical history and study habits. Further analysis of variance, correlation and regression allow us to glimpse a configuration of the most important variables that point to a hypothetical “academic success” with moderate but significant indices, which provide new information that may allow progress in the construction of better theoretical models in this educational field where there is great ethnic and cultural diversity, which requires further research in the future. However, the need to return to the inclusion of general assessments of general intelligence and effective study time by students is redesigned for further research, given the low level of academic skills and competence shown by a large majority of immigrant students, in order to obtain better performance prediction models, based on hierarchical linear models and multilevel analysis, with programs like MLwin that analyze the relationships between variables of different levels or other including fixed, random effects and covariates in the model predictor.

Published: March 2017

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of destination image (cognitive and affective image) on the intention of Arab tourists to revisit Istanbul. The sample group of the study is comprised of Arab tourists who visited Istanbul in January-April 2016. Data was obtained from a total of 385 Arab tourists for the application. Descriptive analyses such as percentage, frequency as well as statistical tests such as factor analysis (confirmatory), reliability analysis were used in the analysis of the obtained data. Furthermore, Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze the impact of destination image (cognitive and affective image) on the intention of Arab tourists to revisit Istanbul. The study concluded that cognitive image did have an impact on the intention of Arab tourists to revisit Istanbul, however affective image was not effective in terms of intent to revisit.

Ciljevi istraživanja su semantička analiza somatizama iz domena straha u nemačkomi srpskom jeziku i postulisanje konceptualnih metafora koje doprinose konstituisanju konceptastraha. Metafora u kognitivnolingvističkom pristupu je osnovno sredstvo za razumevanja sveta okonas. U ovom radu polazi se od osnovne Lakofove i Džonsonove ideje: u jeziku postoje metaforičkiizrazi koji se mogu svesti na neki uopšteni zajednički izvorni domen.
JUDITA ŠALGO: IDENTITET I STRATEGIJE IDENTIFIKACIJA
Authors: Dražić Silvia H.
Published: March 2017

Tekst se bavi  pitanjem identiteta u proznom opusu Judite Šalgo, što je jedna od centralnih tematskih preokupcija njenog književnog stvaralaštva. Problem identiteta razmatra se u kontekstu teorijskih promišljanja druge polovine 20. veka koja su destabilizovala ovaj pojam i dovela u pitanje njegove esencijalističke formulacije. Takođe, pokazuju se konesekvence ovog preokreta u umetnosti, pre svega kada se radi o formulaciji „ženskog autorstva”, za čije razumevanje konstitutivan postaje pojam roda. Na ovom teorijskom horizontu istražuje se razumevanje vlastititog spisateljskog identiteta Judite Šalgo, kao i neukorenjeni i hibridni identitet njenih likova. Analizom priče Irena ili o Marini ili o biografiji(autobiografija) ukazuje se na sofisticiranu igru identitetom koju Judita Šalgo sprovodi ukrštanjem biografskog i autobiografskog diskursa.
ODNOS PREMA STVARNOSTI I STVARALAŠTVU U DRAMAMA SVETISLAVA BASARE
Authors: Antić Anja Ž.
Published: March 2017

Druga polovina dvadesetog veka, u književnosti i umetnosti uopšte, na svet donosi veliki broj autora koji odlučno odbijaju da budu svrstani u neki pravac. Takav je slučaj i sa Svetislavom Basarom. Ipak, analizirajući njegova prozna dela, kritičari se uglavnom slažu da ona nose glavne odlike postmodernističke proze. Budući da drame Svetislava Basare izvesno imaju zajedničkih odlika sa njegovom prozom, mi ćemo u ovom radu na primeru dve drame – Dolče vita i Budibogsnama, pokazati osnovne odlike Basarinog dramskog dela, odnose prema stvarnosnim parametrima, prostoru, vremenu i istini, i konačno, odnos prema samom stvaralaštvu za koji želimo da dokažemo da je tipično postmodernistički. Takav zaključak donosimo najpre zbog njihove estetike, tehnika kojima se koriste i specifičnog, a tipično postmodernističkog, odnosa prema stvarnosti i stvaralaštvu. Njegovo delo potpuno se, dakle, uklapa u postmodernističku tradiciju nemimetičkih teorija reprezentacije i borbe umetnosti protiv teorije. Konačno, pred zadatkom da ga „svrstamo” odlučujemo se za postmodernizam možda i najviše zbog toga što ni sam ne priznaje klasifikacije i podele i što se sumnjičavo odnosi prema svakoj teoriji, pa samim tim teoretičarima i njihovim odredbama, što je sve jedna (a možda i jedina čvrsta) zajednička odlika svih predstavnika postmodernizma.
HEAD AS A CONTAINER IN ENGLISH AND SERBIAN – A COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Silaški Nadežda R. , Radić Bojanić Biljana B.
Published: March 2017

Within the theoretical framework of Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory in this paper we aim to establish the ways the container image schemais used in the conceptualisation of head/glava in English and Serbian to see whether theseconceptualisations are shared in the two languages or, alternatively, whether they manifestany cross-conceptual and cross-linguistic differences. The corpus of our analysis has beencompiled from various monolingual and bilingual English and Serbian dictionaries as wellas dictionaries of idioms and idiomatic expressions in both languages. The main hypothesisof the paper is the following: since the mind is embodied and human concepts are cruciallyshaped by our bodies and brains, we expect to find little difference in the conceptualisationof head/glava as a container between English and Serbian. However, since the mind isalso enculturated, i.e. culturally constructed and is filtered through specific languages, wehypothesise that the differences will mainly manifest not at the conceptual level, but in thelinguistic instantiations in the two languages.
ЛЕКСИЧКО СКРАЋИВАЊЕ У НОВИМ РЕЧИМА У ЕНГЛЕСКОМ ЈЕЗИКУ
Authors: Јовановић Војислав П.
Published: March 2017

У раду су приказани неки од начина творбе речи у енглеском језику, односно скраћивања лексема. Посебну пажњу су привукли иницијализми, акроними, абре- вијације и конфлације, као најчешћи начини скраћивања речи у енглеском језику. Избор ове теме подстакнут је чињеницом да се у свакодневном говору, актуелним политичким догађајима, пословној комуникацији и рачунарству и интернету најчешће користе баш ови типови лексичких скраћеница, што доказује и корпус употребљен у раду. Примери који илустративно приказују поделу у раду су приказани табеларно. Рад има за циљ да на једном месту прикаже творбу речи у енглеском језику на начин скраћивања постојећих лексема у фонду тог језика, односно да прикаже извесне опште карактеристике и тенденције свој- ствене скраћивању речи као начину творбе речи и скраћеницама као резултату те творбе.
FRAZEOLOGIZMI SA LEKSEMAMA ĐAVO (VRAG) / DEVIL U SRPSKOM I ENGLESKOM JEZIKU
Authors: Šafer Marina Ј.
Published: March 2017

U radu se ispituju frazeološke jedinice s leksemom đavo (vrag) / devil u srpskom i engleskom jeziku. Uočeno je ukupno 100 ovakvih frazeologizama u srpskom, i 43 frazeologizma u engleskom jeziku. Osim ovih, sporadično se pominju i frazeologizmi sa značenjski srodnim leksemama, kao što su hell, demon, dickens, Mammon; andrak, bes i sl., kao i neke poslovice i izreke. Svi frazeologizmi predstavljeni su u 17 grupa, prema osobinama koje se pripisuju đavolu kao biću, a koje su vidljive u leksičkom sastavu frazeoloških jedinica. Ovakvom analizom može se otkriti koncept đavola u dva različita jezika, u dve različite kulture. Na predstave đavola kao bića koje simbolizuje zlo, uticala su kako mitološka i paganska, tako i hrišćanska verovanja, a često je teško povući granicu između ovih slojeva.
ФУНКЦИЈА ГРАЂАНСКЕ ПОЕЗИЈЕ У ДЕЛИМА ЈАКОВА ИГЊАТОВИЋА И СТЕВАНА СРЕМЦА
Authors: Јелисавчић Маријана С.
Published: March 2017

Дела двојице писаца из епохе реализма, Јакова Игњатовића и Стевана Сремца, посматрају се кроз призму утицаја српске грађанске поезије на њихово стваралаштво. Функција ове поезије (као и њен значај) се испољава у сликовитијој карактеризацији ликова, у моћи да се кроз песму каже оно што се иначе не би смело, у постизању хумористичког контраста.
METAPHOR OF FLIGHT IN TONI MORRISON'S NOVEL „SONG OF SOLOMON“
Authors: Izgarjan Aleksandra M.
Published: March 2017

Članak se bavi analizom metafore leta u romanu Toni Morison Song of Solomon. Autorka koristi legendu o afričkim robovima koji su mogli da lete kako bi naglasila dualnost metafore leta i njenu subverzivnu ulogu koja omogućava različite interpretacije. Kompleksnost metafore leta u romanu Toni Morison zahteva upotrebu nekoliko književno-teorijskih okvira tako da će se u članku koristiti okvir magijskog realizma, praksa marginalizacije i označavanja pripadnika manjinskih grupa kao Drugog onako kako se tom temom bavio Edvard Said u svom delu Orijentalizam i Jungov koncept arhetipa i putovanja mitskog heroja. Fokus članka je posebno na korišćenju magijskog realizma i spajanju master narativa zapadne civilizacije sa legendama koje potiču iz afroameričke zajednice kako bi se preispitao process konstrukcije istorije i zajednice. Morison u prvi plan stavlja univerzalnost leta kao jednog od ljudskih impulsa koji može da se nađe i u zapadnoj, afričkoj i afroameričkoj kulturi čime pruža validnost svojim likovima i njihovoj sposobnosti da lete.

Published: March 2017

Waste management is an essential component of an egg production system, affecting the environmental impact of production, food safety, worker safety, and animal health and safety. Manure, animal mortalities , and egg washing and processing wastewater are the major types of waste generated in an egg production facility. In this chapter, the characteristics of manure, poultry mortality and egg washing wastewater are discussed. Various methods and technologies for treating and managing these waste streams are then presented, including anaerobic digestion, aerobic treatments and thermochemical processes. The application of poultry waste products as fertilizer is also considered.
Assessing the sustainability of organic egg production
Authors:   University of Kentucky, USA, Jacob Jacqueline , Pescatore Anthony ,   University of Kentucky, USA
Published: March 2017

Organic food production has increased in popularity in the last few decades, although it still remains a small portion of global food production. As questions arise about the sustainability of conventional egg production systems with regard to environmental protection and animal welfare, there has been a push to move away for the caged-rearing systems used in conventional egg production. The question arises: Do organic production systems increase the welfare of the birds and, at the same time, reduce environmental impact. Comparisons of the two broad definitions of egg production systems show that neither system is ideal. Any poultry production system has scope for improvement and thus has the potential to reduce its environmental impact and improve animal welfare.
Avaliação econômica em decorrência da poluição do ar na saúde humana causada pelo impacto da instalação de uma Termoelétrica a gás natural: um estudo de caso para as cidades de Lorena, Canas e Cachoeira Paulista [SP]
Authors: Bachi Junior Dante
Published: March 2017

O desenvolvimento a qualquer custo, nos dias atuais, não é mais aceito pela sociedade, com isso as decisões administrativas e econômicas dos gestores públicos, necessitam de ferramentas atualizadas de gestão, diante disso, o presente estudo apresenta uma análise teórica de alguns métodos de valoração econômica ambiental, a monetarização do custo da poluição do ar possibilitando enxergar o custo real ambiental, servindo como instrumento para a sociedade exigir dos empreendedores investimentos em equipamentos de controle de poluentes melhorando a qualidade ambiental e ao mesmo tempo a própria sociedade entenda o ganho econômico em escala. Inicia-se o estudo por meio da definição dos efluentes lançados no ar pelas usinas termelétricas a gás natural, com ênfase no fator recursos naturais; posteriormente tratando sobre a teoria do valor econômico total dos recursos naturais. Em seguida o estudo converge para a análise dos métodos de custos de função demanda, função de produção e dose-resposta, e a confrontação da disposição a pagar (DAP) e a disposição a aceitar (DAA) com a avaliação do impacto econômico exercidos pelas doenças respiratórias. O estudo encerra-se com a determinação dos custos das doenças associadas à poluição do ar, ou seja, doenças respiratórias no município de Lorena, Cachoeira Paulista e Canas no Vale do Paraíba-SP.
