Authors: Griselda Griselda , Rahadiyanto Kemas Ya'Kub , Hidayat Rachmat
Published: June 2019

Background

Liver cirrhosis is a disease with high morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. The Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification is a noninvasive parameter to assess severity of liver cirrhosis. Meanwhile, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio can reflect person's immunity to liver cirrhosis. This study was conducted to determine the agreement between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification in assessing severity of liver cirrhosis.

Methods

Analytical observational study with Cohenâ€™s Kappa agreement test was conducted in 86 liver cirrhosis patients. Data was retrieved by observing the medical records. Neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, albumin, bilirubin, and INR were all recorded. Documented variables were analyzed by the Cohenâ€™s Kappa agreement test.

Results

In Cohenâ€™s Kappa agreement test, there was moderate agreement between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification in all samples (Îº = 0.591 and p <0.001). Agreement between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification based on age and gender was found to be Îº = 0.777 at age â‰¤45 years, Îº = 0.532 at age >45 years, Îº = 0.682 in male, and Îº = 0.445 in female (p <0.001). The highest agreement is the substantial agreement between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification obtained at age â‰¤45 years (Îº = 0.777 and p <0.001) and male (Îº = 0.682 and p <0.001).

Conclusion

There is moderate agreement between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification in assessing severity of liver cirrhosis. Substantial agreement obtained at age â‰¤45 years and male gender.

Speed is determined by several factors such as anatomical and physiological factors. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of an indicator from anthropometric measurement that is relevant to distinguish the capacity and performance of athletes. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between BMI and running speed.  It was an observational research with cross-sectional design of 35 students of Athlete High School in Palembang.  students. The primary data was taken from anthropometric measurements (stature meters, weight scales, meters) and assessment of 50 meters running speed tests. Data analysis was executed by using Pearson or Spearman correlation test in SPSS. The BMI of subjects varied from 17.05 to 27.12 with mean 21.48. The running speed of subjects varied from 5.67 to 8.17 m/s, with an average of 6.78 m/s. The bivariate analysis showed that there was a weak negative correlation between BMI and running speed (r = -0160). There was a weak negative correlation between BMI and running speed  (r = -0160). A negative correlation means that the greater BMI then the less time it takes to run at a distance of 50 meters, in other words, the better performance of athletes.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric disorder, which is characterized by severe distortion of reality; disturbances in thoughts, feelings and behavior; according to DSM V is a disorder form deviations fundamentals and characteristics of thought and perception, and by the innapropriate or blunted affect. The influence of genetics is believed to have a role in psychiatric disorders, especially if the disorder has occurred in young adults or adolescents. The pathophysiology of schizophrenia is closely related to disorders of the biomolecular aspects of the central nervous system. Dopamine activity in the striatal area and prefrontal cortex is a mechanism believed to be the cause of the emergence of positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Meanwhile, neuronal cell apoptosis and increased oxidants, especially in the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex areas cause worsening of negative symptoms experienced by schizophrenic patients.

The purpose of this research work was to develop and evaluate transdermal patch of Prednisolone, using Xanthan gum, Guar gum and Polyacrylamide in different ratios prepared by the Glass Substrate Technique. The physicochemical compatibility of the polymers and the drug was evaluated by FTIR. The results suggested that no physicochemical incompatibility between the polymer and the drug. Drug free films were formulated and evaluated characteristics like flexibility and smoothness. Further drug loaded films were formulated and evaluated for thickness, weight uniformity, drug content, folding endurance and drug release. The XRD analysis confirmed the amorphous dispersion of the drug in the formulation. SEM analysis showed surface morphology of prepared formulations. Drug diffusion through cellophane membrane was carried out using Franz diffusion cell by in-vitro study. The film prepared with formulation PDS 9 showed maximum diffusion release at the end of 24 hours. It is shown that drug release follows order and non Fikinian mechanism of release diffusion. The PDS 9 formulation was found to be stable with respect to drug content as well as physical changes at 40 ºC and 75 % RH.

Enhancing the adsorption of disinfection by-products onto activated carbon using TiO2 nanoparticles
Authors: HESHAM Ahmed , MOUSTAFA Rafat
Published: June 2019

The removal of contaminants from consumable waters by the traditional water treatment techniques is highly difficult. Disinfection of water alludes to the inactivation or pulverization of unsafe living pathogenic beings, which living in the water. Occurrence of disinfection by products (DBPs) during disinfection normally demonstrates lethal impacts on human health. Granular activated carbon (GAC) has the oldest history of decreasing of organic matters, but its role is reducing by time. TiO2 is used to accelerate the removal of the DBPs. TiO2 nanoparticles have good adsorption phenomena on the removal of those organic compounds at various pHs and temperatures and give good results. This study proved that TiO2 nanoparticles enhanced the efficiency of GAC to remove DBPs from water. While the elimination of trihalomethanes (THMs), dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) using 0.5 g of GAC was determined as 61.7, 69.8 and 83.2% respectively, the elimination of them by 0.1 g of TiO2 nanoparticles:GAC (1:1) was estimated as 100, 96 and 100%, respectively.

The article explains, at least three important problems, related to how to read hadis through the viewpoint of anthropology as a humanical science, why do it must be solved, and then what are the implications of it, in understanding some hadis. It becomes important to be discussed because, however, Muslims' religiosity often touch humanity and social dynamic sides, constantly change

and evolve. Its aim is clear, to ensure that hadis as second Muslims' life guide after the Qur'an shalih. Ii kulli zaman wa makan. Then, by using descriptive-analysis research method and focusing on the study of hadis that explain some procedures of prayer, this can be concluded that, if we read through anthropological approach, the hadis are historical temporal valued. This means that it requires understanding and embodiment that must be adapted to the conditions of human in everytime. For example, the shape of mosque since the Prophet to present time has undergone many changes. So the forms or procedures of worship associated with that adjust for these changes, such as role of shaf in prayer, sutrah use, doing prayer on the vehicle, terrain, boats, up to recommend Muslimah to pray in jama'ah in the mosque, and so on.

THEOLOGICAL DEBATES ON ASH‘ARIYYA TENETS
Authors: Muttaqin Entol Zaenal
Published: June 2019

There are some differences in defining Islamic theology since the era of prophet Muhammad. Some of them emerged from political aspects, and some of them are not. The two prominent ideologies in Islamic theology are Ash’ariyya derived from Sunni, and Mu’tazilla from Syi’a. One of significant scholars in 19 century, Nawawi al-bantani, wrote many books in wide Islamic studies, one of them is Fath al-Magid in theology. Many scholars wrote and designated themselves to a particular group. In contrary, although Nawawi al-Bantani confessed himself as Sunni scholar, yet in some of his writing including Fath al-Magid, he opposed Ash’ariyya and defended Mu’tazila. To some extent, this manner will come up into a unique scholarship tradition for some scholars, indeed, this research aimed to investigate this behavior in final words this paper concluded that Nawawi distanced himself from Ash’ari when he stated that God’s essence and His attributes are inseparable and thereby preserve the oneness of God. He adopted both Ash’ari’s concept, that the Qur’an is not created (ghayr makhluq and it is qadim) and Mu’tazila’s concept, that the Qur’an is created (makhluq and it is hadith). According to Nawawi, the Qur’an is created when it refers to the text and the sound, but uncreated when it refers to the underlying meaning of each verse, even if this contradicts the concept of free will that Nawawi adopted. For his last explanation, pertaining to the concept of prophecy, ru’ya and shafa’a, Nawawi provided a very general explanation, neglecting to elaborate on some important issues relating to the concept of prophecy. it is obvious that Fath al-Magid, with its different interpretation of Ash’ari’s work, meant it was similar to other Sunni theological works that aimed to modify Ash’ari’s original doctrine.

Teeth are among the structures of the skeleton which are most resistant against external effects. It has also been put forth in population, family and twin studies examining the impacts of genes and the environment that tooth development is generally affected less from environmental factors and that it has a significant genetic component. It is possible to understand the biocultural kindredship relations, oral health, relationship between oral health and life style and nutritional habits by taking metric measurements from tooth, examining pathologic formations or variations. In our study, three-rooted mandibular permanent molars have been examined from among the root variations in teeth and it has been examined whether there has been any change in Anatolia from the past to the present. Three different populations were examined in our study; two of which were from the Medieval Period and one was current population. It is known that teeth variations differ geographically and that three-rooted mandibular permanent molars are of Asiatic origin. Whereas three-root was not observed in the first molar teeth in our current population, it was observed that the ratio of three-root in the second molar teeth declined significantly from the past to the present. It has been determined in studies carried out on different populations in Turkey that no significant changes have been observed between Anatolian populations of the past and today’s populations and that the ratios are close to each other.

Dicle vadisinin güneyinde, Şırnak ili Güçlükonak ilçesine bağlı Koçtepe Köyü yakınındaki düzlükte yer alan Tatıka, Ilısu ve HES Projesi kapsamında kazılmıştır. Seramik buluntulara göre Tatıka, MÖ 3000-2700 yılları arasına tarihlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, üç kazı sezonundan (2013-2015-2016) ele geçen toplam 1542 hayvan kemiği incelenmiştir. Toplanan hayvan kemiklerinin tümü Erken Tunç (ETÇ)(I-II) dönemine aittir. Genel olarak memeli faunası incelendiğinde koyun-keçi, domuz ve sığır kemiklerinin sayıca fazla olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Yabani hayvanlar ise az sayıdadır. Çalışmada, başlıca evcil türler için epifiz kaynaşmasına bakılarak yaşlandırma yapılmıştır. Bölgesel olarak karşılaştırma yapıldığında, Güneydoğu ve Doğu Anadolu’da benzer amaçlarla koyun, keçi ve sığır yetiştiriciliğinin yapıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Domuzların çevresel olarak elverişsiz ortamlarda yetiştirilmediği ancak Tatıka’da et sağlayıcısı bu türün faunada ikinci sırada temsil edildiği görülmüştür. Logaritmik Boyut Endisi karşılaştırmasında, Tell Beydar yerleşiminin ölçümleri kullanılmıştır. Koyun ve keçilerin boyutlarının Tell Beydar’da daha büyük iken domuzların daha küçük boyutta oldukları anlaşılmıştır. Sığırların boyutları ise iki Erken Tunç yerleşiminde oldukça benzerdir.
Kültürel Kimlik Sorunsalı: Görecelik Mi, Evrenselcilik Mi? Yoksa Uzlaşı Mı?
Authors: NAR Mehmet Şükrü
Published: June 2019

Küreselleşme ekseninde kültür ve kimlik tartışmaları önemli bir gündemi oluşturur. Tartışmaların odak noktası ise kültürel görecelik ve evrenselcilik arasındaki ikilemin kültürel kimlikler üzerinde nasıl bir etkisinin olduğudur. Küreselleşme politikaları ile bir taraftan farklı kimliklerin önem kazanmasına ortam hazırlanır, diğer bir taraftan ise yerel kimlikler üzerinden küresel bir kimlik siyaseti ortaya çıkarılmak istenir. Bu yaklaşım ayrımıyla küreselleşme, hem kültürel farklılıkları destekler hem de öngörülemeyen şekilde evrensel kültür değerlerini vurgulayarak kendi içerisinde çelişkiye neden olur. Bu şekliyle kültürel kimlikler, günümüz toplumsal anlayışın önemli bir sorunsalı olarak kabul edilir. Ancak küreselleşmenin neden olduğu sonuçlar birlikte düşünüldüğünde, bu ikilem bir ilişkiyi ve bağlılığı zorunlu kılar. Çünkü küreselleşme süreci doğası gereği, ne tamamen ulus-kimlik yapısının yıkımına ne de yerel kimliklerin tam anlamıyla evrimini tamamlamasına izin verir. Ancak, ilerleyen dönemlerde ortak bir uzlaşının sağlanamaması, görecelik ile evrenselcilik arasındaki söylenegelen kaotik durumu iyice karmaşık hale getirebilir. Bunun sonucu ise zaten sorunsal olan kültürel kimlikler daha da sorunlu hale gelebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı görecelik ve evrenselcilik anlayışı üzerinden kimlikleri, özelde kültürel kimlik kavramını önemli bir sorunsal olarak tartışma konusu etmektir.
Pisidia Antiokheia Aedilicus Kilisesi’nden Bebek ve Çocuk İskeletlerinde Saptanan Patolojilerin Antropolojik Açıdan Değerlendirilmesi

Published: June 2019

Pisidia Antiokheia antik kentindeki Aedilicus Kilisesi’nde 2015 yılında yapılan kazılarda kilisenin ana nefinde 5 mezar açığa çıkarılmıştır. MS 6. – 10. yüzyıllar aralığına tarihlendirilen mezarlardan üçü; iki bebek ve bir çocuğa aittir. Söz konusu mezarlardan bebek ve çocuk iskeletleri üzerinde yürütülen bu çalışmada, dişlerde ve iskelette gözlemlenebilen patolojilerden yola çıkılarak onların yaşamlarında maruz kaldıkları fizyolojik baskıların belirlenmesi, sağlıklarına ve dolayısıyla büyümelerine etki eden etmenlerin anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla bebeklerin ve çocuğun diş sürme aşamalarına göre ölüm yaşları belirlenmiş, uzun kemiklerinin diyafiz ölçüleri alınmış, diş ve iskeletlerindeki patolojik bulguları tespit edilmiştir. Antropolojik incelemelere göre bebeklerden biri (Güney Mezarı 1) yaklaşık 9 aylık, diğeri (Mezar 4) yaklaşık 18 aylık, çocuk (Mezar 1) ise yaklaşık 6 yaşındadır. Dokuz aylık olan bebeğin (GM1) kafatası, yüz ve uzun kemiklerindeki bulgular, C vitamini eksikliği olarak tanılanan iskorbüt hastalığını işaret etmektedir. On sekiz aylık olandiğer bebeğin (Mezar 4) incelenebilen kafatası kemiklerindeki porotik hiperostosis demir eksikliği anemisiyle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Sözü geçen bebeğin, süt dişlerinin 1 ve 2 ölçeklerinde aşınması bir süredir ek gıdalarla beslendiğini düşündürmektedir. Diğer yandan 6 yaşındaki çocuğun (Mezar 1) vücut kemiklerindeki anomaliler yaşamında muhtemelen Serebral palsiden (SP) kaynaklanan bir engeli olduğunu işaret etmektedir. Bebek ve çocukların hepsinde uzun kemiklerinin büyümesinde gerilik tespit edilmiştir. Genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde bulgular; Aedilicus Kilisesi’ndeki bebeklerin, çocukların ölümlerine yol açan nedenler hakkında kesin sonuçlar sağlamasa da muhtemelen kötü beslenme, yetersiz anne bakımı gibi sosyokültürel örüntülerin ve ilişkili çevresel koşulların olumsuz etkilerini sergilemektedir.

Published: June 2019

Permukiman kumuh membutuhkan penanganan agar tidak menurunkan nilai keindahan kota, menurunkun kualitas hidup masyarakat, serta menurunkan tingkat keamanan dan kenyamanan kota. Permukiman Nelayan memiliki komunitas masyarakat yang penghuninya mempunyai orientasi ke laut, dengan mata pencaharian utama sebagai nelayan, sehingga sangat bergantung kepada kondisi alam. RPKPP melakukan penanganan kumuh dengan pendekatan struktural yaitu pembangunan promanade/ steigher, pembangunan jalan lingkungan dan pembuatan sumber air bersih (sumur bor) di permukiman nelayan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi dampak penataan permukiman kumuh terhadap peningkatan kualitas hidup masyarakat di kawasan Bagan Deli Belawan. Kualitas hidup dipengaruhi oleh kualitas lingkungan permukiman yang dapat dilihat melalui beberapa hal seperti: jaringan infrastruktur (jalan, sanitasi, akses terhadap air bersih, dan lain-lain), kondisi kualitas kesehatan (frekuensi diserang penyakit dan akses ke pusat kesehatan), peningkatan ekonomi masyarakat (tingkat pendapatan dan lapangan kerja baru), persepsi keamanan fisik lingkungan (resiko bencana, keamanan dan kenyaman). Metode penelitian mengggunakan metode evaluasi, yaitu membandingkan kondisi lingkungan dan kondisi masyarakat saat sebelum dan saat sesudah adanya program RPKPP. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa dampak penataan permukiman kumuh terhadap peningkatan kualitas hidup masyarakat di kawasan Bagan Deli Belawan masih terbatas pada peningkatan aksesibilitas, sedangkan untuk aspek lainya belum berdampak. Oleh karena itu masih diperlukan pengembangan dan implementasi program RPKPP di kawasan Bagan Deli, tidak hanya pada sektor infrastruktur saja tetapi juga pada hal pemberdayaan ekonomi dan perubahan perilaku masyarakat.

Authors: Margaretha Siagian Dumora Jenny
Published: June 2019

Permasalahan pengelolaan sampah di Kota Medan cukup kompleks, sehingga seringkali upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah belum memberikan dampak yang cukup besar untuk kebersihan lingkungan. Pada hakikatnya, pengolahan sampah tidak bisa hanya dikerjakan oleh pemerintah saja, namun juga sangat penting adanya keterlibatan masyarakat. Sudah seharusnya pengelolaan sampah dilakukan secara holistik dengan memperhatikan aspek ekologis, sosial dan kultural. Bank sampah sebagai tempat pemilahan dan pengumpulan sampah mempunyai tujuan untuk mendidik dan membudayakan pengurangan sampah di tingkat masyarakat sekaligus juga sebagai wadah bagi masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pengelolaan sampah. Dalam mempertahankan keberlanjutan operasional bank sampah ini bukanlah hal yang mudah. Banyak tantangan dan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh para aktor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa bagaimana peranan para aktor dalam mempertahankan keberlanjutan operasional bank sampah di Kota Medan. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode etnografi dari Spradley. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada kondisi yang alamiah, sumber data primer, dan teknik pengumpulan data lebih banyak pada observasi berperan serta, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitan menjelaskan bahwa aktor-aktor yang berperan pada pengelolaan bank sampah di Kota Medan meliputi nasabah, bank sampah (induk dan unit), pengepul dan pengerat, botot dan perusahaan (vendor). Interaksi antar agen dan aktor berjalan dalam suatu kepentingan yang didasarkan pada dimensi ruang dan waktu, atau dengan kata lain terjadi reposisi antar agen dan aktor yang disesuaikan dengan keadaan. Selain itu pemerintah juga mengambil peranan cukup penting dalam keberlangsungan bank sampah, baik dalam administrasi maupun sebagai sebuah struktur bank sampah. Berdasarkan hasil lapangan, ada 3 aspek yang dimiliki para aktor, sehingga mereka mampu bertahan dan terus memiliki kemauan mengembangkan bank sampah. Aspek-aspek tersebut adalah Strategi, Jaringan sosial dengan membentuk kerjasama dan jaringan, dan Sosialisasi pengelolaan sampah. Aspek-aspek ini sangat berperan dan penting dilakukan oleh para aktor untuk memperjuangkan dan mengembangkan bank sampah.

Double Hit Theory for the Development of Vascular Parkinsonism
Authors: Alejandro Manosalva Herbert
Published: June 2019

Introduction: Identify the non-decoded network in Vascular Parkinsonism (VasP). Objective: To determine what pattern of stroke lesions is responsible for VasP, as compared to those patients who had stroke, gait and balance problems, but absence of a hypokinetic rigid syndrome also called Vascular Pseudo Parkinsonism-V PSeuP. Materials and Methods: Design: prospective cohort study. Participants were consecutively screened for parkinsonian symptoms during a year as according to our previous study. Validated questionnaire (Tanner Questionnaire-TQ) was used, and a new scale operationalizing the criteria for VasP (FMAS score). All participants in the original study had a clinical exam to identify if presence of a hypokinetic rigid syndrome. Lesion patterns were analyzed. Setting: tertiary care stroke prevention clinic at the University of Alberta Hospital. Participants: Eligible participants attained a score of ≥ 4 on the TQ, high risk for parkinsonism. Four groups were considered: V PseuP, VasP (onset of parkinsonism within a year of the stroke -FMAS score of 4), Pseudo Vascular Parkinsonism-PseuVP (hypokinetic rigid syndrome not related to stroke), and Pseudo Vascular Pseudo Parkinsonism-PseuV PseuP (no stroke and no extrapyramidal syndrome), but with gait and balance problems. Baseline demographic information and clinical characteristics were recorded including vascular risk factors, and stroke subtype. All participants had a Holter, CT head and/or brain MRI, and CTA. Medications that produce drug-induced-parkinsonism were recorded for every participant. The primary outcome was to find the pattern of anatomical lesions particularly involved in the VasP subgroup considering the Basal Ganglia Motor Output Circuit-BGMO, the Thalamo Cortical Drive Loop-TCD and connections to frontal cortex. Results: 240 consecutive participants were screened during 12 months. We found 46 patients with potential Parkinsonism (TQ>4). VPseuP was found in 25/46 (54%), VasP in 8/46 (17%), PseuVP in 7/46 (15%), and PseuV PseuP in 6/46 (14%). VasP were older (p<0.0007) and had a higher risk for cardio embolism due to atrial fibrillation (p=0.02, odd ratio 6.6 CI 95% (1.2 – 35.2)). Neuro images showed that only the pattern involving the BGMO and frontal cortex was significantly associated to the group of VasP (X2 Fisher exact test p<0.0005 Odds ratio 32 CI 95% (9.6-108)); whereas the pattern TCD was not significantly different between the groups (X2 Fisher exact test p=0.828 Odds ratio 1.2 CI 95% (0.5-2.8)). Discussion and Conclusion: A two strategic location hit within the BGMO circuit and frontal cortex is required, so a phenotype of VasP may occur.
The Conceptualisation of FEAR through Conceptual Metonymy and Metaphor in Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Zibin Aseel
Published: June 2019

This study aims to examine the figurative devices used in Jordanian Arabic (JA) to conceptualise the emotion of FEAR. It investigates whether FEAR in JA can be conceptualised: (1) universally, on the basis of human embodied experiences; and (2) socioculturally, on the basis of culture specific schemas. The study adopts Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as its main theoretical framework to compare and contrast the similarities and/or differences in the conceptualisations of FEAR in both JA and English. Data are collected from two sources: namely, the comment section on Facebook pages of cinemas in Amman that show horror and thriller movies, and 12 JA native speaker informants. Data analysis of the linguistic metonymical and metaphorical expressions shows that three figurative devices are used to conceptualise FEAR in JA: Conceptual metonymy, conceptual metaphor and conceptual metaphtonymy. Data analysis of the linguistic realisations in JA and English also demonstrate that both languages exhibit similarities and differences in the conceptualisations of FEAR. The similarities between the two languages are explained by relying on universal embodied cognition, whereas the differences are accounted for in terms of cultural filtering of general universal conceptualisations, reflecting experiences that are more common to a particular sociocultural group..
Oral Storytelling: Resistance and Freeing Voices from the Deep South in Ernest Gaines’s A Gathering of Old Men
Authors: Mahfouf Faiza
Published: June 2019

The study sheds light on the folkloric tradition of oral storytelling which has been used as an act of resistance in Ernest Gaines’s A Gathering of Old Men (1983). The marginalized black characters decide to voice their tragedies so as to empower each other to counter the discourse of White supremacy. This tradition becomes a measure of reaching sustainable socio-cultural transformation in the black community. More specifically, the paper relates storytelling, a process of telling personal narratives from an African vantage point, to the theory of Afrocentricity put forward by African-American theorist, Molefe Kete Asante. Steeped in African orature, storytelling endows the African subject with agency to move from the margin to the center. The paper considers how this agency is created throughout this process enabling the disempowered subjects to become speaking powers in recounting their stories and in deciding their own fate in a racist society. Also, it answers the question: How can their oral narratives represent the essential human experience of resistance and transformation, particularly when the social context is one of extreme oppression and violence?.
Recreating Tone in Two Arabic Translations of Landay Poetry
Authors: Al-Jabri Hanan
Published: June 2019

Tone is the way the author expresses an attitude toward the subject. Tone often poses a challenge for translators. The present study is comparative as it explored two Arabic translations of the same Afghan Women's Poetry (Landay). The first translation was done by Jamil Salah in 2002 from the French collection Le suicide et le chant, and the second by Abdallah Abushmaes in 2018 from the English Songs of Love and War: Afghan Women's Poetry. The study aimed at identifying the strategies employed by the two translators to convey the tone expressed in Landay poems, and determining their effectiveness in transferring it into Arabic. The study shows that the two translators adopted different strategies at the word and structure levels which in some cases overlooked the significance of tone, while in other cases they seemed to recreate a similar tone..
Network and Cooperation in the Field of Cultural Production: Naguib Mahfouz in Translation
Authors: Alkhawaja Linda
Published: June 2019

Translation is a social practice and cultural product practiced by agents and produced by institutions in different subjects; hence, it can be studied from various sociological perspectives. This study explores translation activity through a network of various human and non-human agents by adopting two sociological theories: Bourdieu’s (1993) theory of cultural production and Latour’s (1996) Actor-Network Theory (ANT). The study demonstrates how these two theories reveal the effect of agent networks on the field of cultural production and that the more agents are involved in these networks, the stronger their impact will be on the field of cultural production. The impact of networks and the cooperation of agents in the field of cultural production in relation to the translation of the works of Naguib Mahfouz are examined as a case study. The study concludes that high numbers of linkages between agents in networks strongly influence the field of cultural production. This can be seen in the case of Mahfouz’s translated works after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1988, at which point there was a flood of Arabic to English translations. Finally, the study highlights the value of synthesizing Bourdieu’s theory and ANT in the field of translation studies..
Rhetorical Structure and Sociocultural Analysis of Muslim and Christian Obituaries in Jordanian Newspapers
Authors: Hassan Mohammed Sawalmeh Murad
Published: June 2019

This paper gives a detailed account of the distinctive macro-structural and micro-linguistic properties used in Muslim and Christian obituaries in Jordan society. It also examines how socio-religious practices and beliefs are played out through the overall genre text. In order to examine the discourse, a move-based analysis was conducted upon a corpus of 150 Muslim obituary announcements (MOAs), and another 100 Christian obituary announcements (COAs). The analysis of textual and linguistic features is carried out by following Bhatia’s (1993) model as it fruitfully illumines the relation between social discursive practice and written discourse. The genre analysis of the data demonstrates that eleven communicative moves exist in both types of obituary announcements (OAs). The study also highlights that the generic genre discourse reveals several socio-cultural and religious messages about the Jordanian community that are reflected in the rhetorical components of this genre..
Translating Intertextuality in T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Authors: Fattah Abu Ssaydeh Abdul
Published: June 2019

Despite the numerous Arabic translations of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, the poem continues to fascinate, attract and challenge Arab academics, poets and translators alike. The major difficulty in translating it arises from its extensive use of intertextuality. This paper examined how three academics - Louis Awad, Abdul-Wahid Lu’lu’a and Adnan Abdulla - rendered the intertextual elements of the poem into Arabic. The analysis showed that they all adopted a foreignizing approach which retained intertextuality in the core target texts. However, the deep immersion of the poem in the western cultural tradition and its heavy reliance on intertextuality have produced core target texts that are mostly cryptic and inadequate. This created a need for clarification and compensation to preserve the semantic integrity of the poem and bridge the cultural gap between the text initiator and target text receiver. Thus, paratexts emerge as a viable – even a necessary - element in the translation of the poem into Arabic and recreating its meaning. As such, paratexts are no longer viewed as peripheral but as an essential component in which part of the meaning of the translated text is situated..
The Relationship between Female EFL Students' Use of Reading Strategies and Their Reading Self-efficacy
Authors: Alsuhaibani Zainab
Published: June 2019

This study investigated the relationship between female EFL students' use of reading strategies and their reading self-efficacy. The participants were 191 female Saudi students majoring in English at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. Two questionnaires; a reading strategy questionnaire and a reading self-efficacy questionnaire, and retrospective interviews were used to collect data of the study. The analysis of the data showed that female Saudi students used reading strategies at a moderate-frequency level. Problem-solving strategies were used more than global and support strategies. The students also showed a moderate sense of reading self-efficacy. The study further revealed that reading strategy use was significantly positively correlated with reading self-efficacy. A significant statistical difference between high self-efficacious students and low self-efficacious students in the overall use of reading strategies was found. The two groups further differed in the use of the subcategories of reading strategies. In addition, the study showed that the factors that affected students' reading self-efficacy beliefs were teachers' methodology in teaching and their encouragement and feedback, students' grades on exams, and students' ability to comprehend most of reading texts. The study recommends developing students' reading strategy use and reading self-efficacy beliefs while adopting a reading strategy instructional program..
A tecnologização do gênero discursivo e a construção de identidades: a mulher, a religião, a marca institucional
Authors: Souza Ferretti-Soares Vanessa Arlésia
Published: June 2019

Este artigo discute o uso que a mídia televisiva faz do discurso de “respeito à diversidade religiosa” na (re)construção da identidade institucional (marca institucional), de grupos religiosos e da mulher. Toma-se como objeto de análise o interprograma O Sagrado (Rede Globo/Brasil), especificamente os episódios dos quais participam representantes do Islamismo e Judaísmo, que discutem a identidade e papel social da mulher na contemporaneidade. Teórica e metodologicamente, a discussão se embasa na Análise Crítica de Gêneros (BAKHTIN, 1997 [1952/53]; BONINI, 2010, 2013; FAIRCLOUGH 2001 [1992], 2003; FREIRE, 1967), que busca, em resumo, descrever e analisar os gêneros discursivos em relação às práticas sociais das quais estes participam. Os dados aqui analisados mostram como determinados temas sociais podem ser apropriados pela mídia televisiva e como seus propósitos primeiros podem ser tangenciados. No caso do programa em questão, viu-se como estrategicamente a emissora se utiliza do discurso de respeito à diversidade e inclusão da mulher no contexto religioso para fins, sobretudo, de promoção institucional.

Mamãe Dolores, Nice e Val: comoções (e razões) nacionais
Authors: Tavares da Silva Denise da , Milliano Max
Published: June 2019

País apontado como aquele que detém o maior número de empregadas domésticas no mundo (OIT, 2013), o Brasil acumula, em suas produções audiovisuais, inúmeros personagens que, exercendo tal função, funcionam, quase sempre, como complemento cênico. No entanto, em alguns momentos deste percurso, esse papel praticamente invisível é catapultado à primeira grandeza, provocando comoções nacionais que, amarradas historicamente, transitam entre o devido reconhecimento do sujeito à elevação da notoriedade da atriz. Investigando tal trajeto, este artigo foca as personagens domésticas Mamãe Dolores, Nice e Val, sob o horizonte dos limites e cobranças que estas repercussões carregam no cenário midiático, discutindo, também, os elos que as narrativas constroem com a matriz melodramática latino-americana.
Contribuições do grupo musical Songoro Cosongo para o crescimento do carnaval de rua e das fanfarras cariocas no início do século XXI
Authors: Herschmann Micael , Cabanzo Maria Pilar
Published: June 2019

Tomando como base a pesquisa empírica realizada nos últimos anos (construída não só a partir da coleta, seleção e análise de matérias veiculadas na mídia impressa tradicional e material postado nas redes sociais, mas também de observações de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os atores), buscou-se – a partir do estudo da trajetória do grupo musical Songoro Cosongo – analisar a relevância das sonoridades latinas para o crescimento do carnaval de rua e das fanfarras nos últimos anos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
A tessitura continuada da intriga na narrativa seriada de televisão: Uma proposta de análise da serialidade televisiva de longo prazo a partir de Breaking Bad
Authors: Araújo João
Published: June 2019

Neste artigo, sugerimos um proto-modelo para a observação das narrativas continuadas de longo prazo em ficções seriadas televisivas, desenvolvido a partir dos conceitos de fio, trama e tecido narrativos e do esquema actancial de Greimas, e ilustrado por meio de uma análise de Breaking Bad. Enfim, após a apresentação do modelo proposto, observamos ainda algumas das suas limitações, bem com o alguns ganhos que ele proporciona, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à observação da modulação das temporadas, da economia e ritmo narrativos e da convocação imersiva.
