Teoría pura del Derecho y la separación conceptual entre las funciones administrativas, jurisdiccionales y de gobierno, en la evolución del sistema alemán de protección jurídica del individuo
Authors: Espinoza Rausseo Alexander , Rivas Alberti Jhenny
Published: June 2021

El objetivo general se encuentra dirigido a determinar, a partir del análisis racional propuesto por KELSEN y la Escuela de Viena, ¿cuáles son los elementos que determinan la ubicación constitucional de la administración pública y sus relaciones con la jurisdicción y el gobierno? Analizaremos la teoría de la libre evaluación, como criterio de delimitación entre las funciones administrativa, jurisdiccional y de gobierno y valoraremos las propuestas de delimitación de las funciones administrativas y jurisdiccionales y su eventual relación con la garantía de protección jurídica del individuo, en base al criterio de la relación jurídica. Como resultado, podemos afirmar que, el elemento de la protección jurídica individual constituye un criterio adecuado para llevar a cabo una clasificación de las funciones del Estado a partir de su diversa naturaleza. Los conceptos de interés individual y de interés general son determinantes del distinto ámbito de evaluación, esto es, del espacio de libre juego que queda a partir de la norma superior y, funcionan al mismo tiempo como punto de referencia a las fuentes de legitimación democrática y del Estado de derecho, de lo que es propio de la opinión pública y la voluntad general o de la esfera de libertad del individuo, por lo que finalmente, permiten distinguir entre las materias a que se refieren las diversas funciones del Estado y de sus relaciones de dependencia, independencia o coordinación. En cuanto a la identidad material entre la función administrativa y jurisdiccional, observamos que, el elemento que permite delimitar entre tales funciones deriva de la naturaleza del bien jurídico protegido. En resumen, las funciones jurisdiccionales civiles y penales y la función administrativa se encuentran referidas a relaciones jurídicas en las que, por una parte, se afecta un interés jurídico individual, pero por otra parte, tienen una justificación diversa, que reside en la protección de un interés individual, en la primera y de un interés general en las dos últimas. Desde el punto de vista de la afectación del interés individual, que constituye un elemento de todas estas funciones, no existe una justificación material de su distinta ubicación constitucional, especialmente en su relación con respecto a la función de gobierno. En nuestro criterio, no sólo los asuntos sometidos a la competencia de los jueces, sino toda actuación del Estado que produzca una afectación de intereses individuales debe encontrarse protegido por el principio de sujeción sólo a la ley y por la garantía de independencia frente al gobierno.
Do romantic relationships promote happiness? Relationships’ characteristics as predictors of subjective well-being
Authors: Londero-Santos Amanda , Natividade Jean Carlos , Féres-Carneiro Terezinha
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to investigate the predictive power of aspects of the romantic relationship on subjective well-being, beyond what is explained by sociodemographic and personality variables. Participants were 490 heterosexual adults (68.8% women), all involved in a monogamous romantic relationship. Romantic relationship variables were substantial predictors of the three components of subjective well-being, explaining 21% of the variance in life satisfaction, 19% of the variance in positive affect, and 15% of the variance in negative affect, in addition to sociodemographic variables and personality factors. Still, relationship satisfaction was one of the main predictors of subjective well-being. The results highlight the importance of romantic relationships over subjective well-being, suggesting that cultivating satisfying romantic relationships contributes to a happier life.
The Heraldry of the Noble Gruževskis Family and Its Actualisation at the Kelmė Regional Museum
Authors: Jasiūnienė Gabrielė
Published: June 2021

From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the heraldry of the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was influenced by local, Polish, and other European heraldic traditions. The coat of arms became one of the most important elements representing the culture and identity of the nobles. It reflected their family and marital ties, titles, positions, and other important aspects in the life of the nobility. The coats of arms that have survived to this day act as a reminder of the past lives of their holders. The article explores the heraldry of the noble Gruževskis (Grużewski) family from Samogitia between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries and its actualisation in the twenty-first century in the manor estate in Kelmė that was formerly owned by this family. The analysis revealed that the Gruževskis, a Polish noble family, who moved to Samogitia in the sixteenth century, enriched the heraldic tradition of the region’s nobility with the Lubicz coat of arms originating in Poland. The Lubicz coat of arms depicts a white horseshoe on an azure field with two crosses, one cross inside the horseshoe and the other outside with a crest of three ostrich feathers. The article looks at the heraldic seals held by the members of the Gruževskis family be­tween the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the seventeenth-century coat of arms of Jurgis Gruževskis in the joint coat of arms in Kelmė Evangelical Reformed Church, and the eighteenth-century coat of arms of the Gruževskis family above the entrance to the manor house they used to own. It has been observed that the members of the Gruževskis family preserved their coat of arms from the sixteenth century up to the second half of the eighteenth century and that it was passed down from generation to generation. The analysis of the records shows that the family’s heraldic tradition featured both single-field and combined coats of arms. The emergence of the former in the seventeenth century is traced back to Jurgis Gruževskis. Today, the Kelmė Regional Museum is one of the main memory institutions that preserve and actualise the legacy of the noble Gruževskis family. While the coat of arms of this family is not forgotten by the museum and receives relatively comprehensive attention, there are few attempts to provide more detailed information or more critical insights about it. The heraldry of the former owners of the manor estate is usually presented using easy-to-understand visual resources such as illustrations, stands, interactive materials, and souvenirs. It is believed that visitors could be offered a more detailed picture of the heraldic traditions of the Gruževskis family and a more critical approach to these traditions could be developed by drawing upon a relatively extensive range of heraldic sources and scholarly materials. The possibility of showcasing the copies of the sources featuring the family’s heraldic traditions or developing thematic educational activities is to be considered.

Zlomi prsno-ledvene hrbtenice (PLH) predstavljajo širok spekter poškodb. Zdravljenje je odvisno od vrste poškodbe, splošnega stanja poškodovanca ter morebitnih pridruženih bolezni hrbtenice. Skupna ocena teh dejavnikov narekuje strategijo zdravljenja, ki je zaradi nejasnih in včasih nasprotujočih si podatkov v literaturi nemalokrat težavna. Kljub številnim odprtim vprašanjem pa v mnogih primerih lahko le hitra in usklajena veriga postopkov od začetne oskrbe na terenu do končne rehabilitacije zagotovi dober izid zdravljenja. Prispevek zato predstavi priporočila Vertebrološkega združenja Slovenije za obravnavo bolnikov z zlomom PLH. Zajemajo celotno verigo oskrbe, od oskrbe na terenu in v urgentnem centru do diagnostičnih postopkov in klasifikacije ter kirurškega zdravljenja, končno po do rehabilitacije in ambulantnega spremljanja zdravstvenega stanja poškodovanca. Posebna pozornost se posveča poškodbam z nevrološko prizadetostjo, osteoporotičnim zlomom in zlomom pri ankilozirajočih boleznih hrbtenice, ki so zaradi starajočega se prebivalstva v porastu. Namen priporočil je postaviti minimalne standarde oskrbe zlomov PLH v slovenskem prostoru. Zato priporočila temeljijo na empiričnih znanjih, upoštevajo pa tudi regionalne posebnosti slovenskega prostora.

Reseña del libro de César Hidalgo. El triunfo de la información
Authors: Calvo Patri
Published: June 2021

Salvando el victimismo tradicional que impera en el discurso de muchos países que no logran alcanzar un desarrollo económico óptimo, pero sin despreciar la validez de sus argumentos, César A. Hidalgo (Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute - Université Fédérale Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées) propone en su libro El triunfo de la información. La evolución del orden: de los átomos a las moléculas (2017) un nuevo enfoque de crecimiento económico basado en la capacidad de construir realidad a través de la cooperación y la imaginación —cristales de imaginación solidificada— y no en la posibilidad individual de comprar, consumir, vender o producir. Partiendo de ese punto de vista, Hidalgo sugiere la complejidad económica como el principal motor del desarrollo de las economías modernas y, por ende, de las sociedades del siglo xx. La clave no se halla tanto en los factores de producción tradicionales, sino en la información que una sociedad concreta —personas, grupos, empresas e instituciones— es capaz de procesar y compartir a través de redes para generar conocimiento y knowhow productivo.

A new porous carbon structures made by sintering whey powder in a mold at 150ºC and subsequent carbonization and/or activation are described. These porous carbon structures represent a step beyond simple activated carbon monoliths, as they can take the shape of any mold and machined if necessary. These carbon materials have a porosity that can reach up 70%, made up of a system of hierarchical and interconnected pores, which gives them a high permeability. Furthermore, they have a much higher mechanical strength than other porous carbon monoliths.

Key Words: carbon structures, monoliths, porous carbon, activated carbon, machining, sintering, whey, whey powder.

PREPARATION OF ZNO/SEPIOLITE COMPOSITE AND ITS PHOTOCATALYTIC PERFORMANCE FOR THE WATER DECONTAMINATION
Authors: Li Chao , Li Huijuan , Pu Chengzhi , Lei Zhiwu
Published: June 2021

The photocatalysis technology has become an important means to control environmental pollutions especially water pollution. A new ZnO/sepiolite composite was prepared using the sol–gel method by taking the nontoxicity, high catalytic activity, high stability, and strong antioxidant capacity of ZnO and the large pore volume and specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity, light weight, and strong chemical stability of sepiolite to prepare improved photocatalytic materials. The microrepresentation and contrast analysis of structures and morphologies of sepiolite and ZnO/sepiolite composite were performed using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and TD-3500 X-ray diffraction. The degradation capacities of sepiolite, ZnO, and ZnO/sepiolite composite into formaldehyde, malachite green, methylbenzene, and landfill leachate were tested under UV light. Results show that ZnO can be loaded onto sepiolite successfully and that ZnO ions form a tight coupling interface after entering the sepiolite layer. The formed crystals are small. The pore ratio increases synonyms, and the adsorption performance improves accordingly. Moreover, sepiolite can inhibit the agglomeration of ZnO particles effectively. The ZnO/sepiolite composite is significantly superior to sepiolite and ZnO in the treatmenting of above pollutants. The composite has degraded 88.57% of formaldehyde, 91.3% of malachite green, 66.53% of methylbenzene, and 76.38% of landfill leachate. Compared with other types of composite photocatalyst, the ZnO/sepiolite composite has better photocatalytic performances, and its degradation of organic pollutants conforms to the first-order kinetics. Finally, the ZnO/sepiolite composite has high reusability due to easy recovery and good chemical and photocatalytic stabilities. The ZnO/sepiolite composite provides a new selection to control environmental pollutions and possesses promising application prospects.

Keywords: ZnO, sepiolite, preparation, composite, photocatalysis
Læreruddannelsens rolle i lærerprofessionens historiske tilblivelse
Authors: Fibæk Laursen Per
Published: June 2021

Formålet med artiklen er at foretage en tolkning af læreruddannelsens rolle i forhold til lærernes og skolens historiske tilblivelse med udgangspunkt i begrebet om didaktiske revolutioner. Første didaktiske revolution, opfi ndelsen af undervisning, skabte hverken lærerstand eller -uddannelse, da undervisningen blev varetaget af den gejstlige stand. Under anden didaktiske revolution omkring år 1800 spillede læreruddannelsen en central rolle i tilblivelsen af den danske lærerstand, som afløste degnene som undervisere, og som fi k en social placering uden for den gejstlige stand. En selvstændig lærerstand med undervisning som hovedbeskæftigelse og med kompetencer fra en læreruddannelse blev udviklet samtidig med skabelsen af en planmæssig undervisning i strukturerede skolemæssige rammer og med regelmæssig skolegang fra elevernes side, hvilket var det centrale i anden didaktiske revolution. Under tredje didaktiske revolution fra omkring 1960 spillede læreruddannelsen en tilsvarende central rolle i lærererhvervets transformation fra stand til profession, hvilket var med til at muliggøre reformpædagogikkens modernisering af folkeskolen.

Artiklen diskuterer muligheder og udfordringer for deltagelse og tilblivelse som lærerstuderende på 1. årgang, baseret på empirisk materiale fra “Ind i lærerfaget”, som er ét af en række projekter i “Læreruddannelsen som udviklingslaboratorium”(LULAB). Det bliver en pointe, der fremskrives i artiklens analyser, at projektet ikke kan forstås uden at forstå det som et LULAB-projekt med bott om-up eksperimenterende indsatser i professionelt samarbejde. Baseret på analyserne kondenseres en række interaktioner og relationer, der opleves som afgørende af aktørerne: oplevelse af sammenhæng på fl ere planer, udstrakt praktik på 1. årgang giver både muligheder og udfordringer, relationen mellem læreruddanner og lærerstuderende, herunder positionering af lærerstuderende som medudviklere, at studerende opleves at tage ansvar, og at forankring ikke bare må ses som et format, der rulles ud, de nye aktører skal også opleve mening. Der peges således både på positive mulighedsrum i relation til læreruddannelsen som professionsrett et uddannelse, men også på udfordringer og spændinger.

Hydrogeochemical characteristics and source identification of salinity in groundwater resources in an arid plain, northeast of Iran: implication for drinking and irrigation purposes
Authors: Taherian Parisian , Joodavi Ata
Published: June 2021

Groundwater salinization is a worldwide problem where groundwater is the principal source of water. A combination of geochemical and statistical approaches was used to investigate the mechanisms governing the groundwater chemistry and origin of salts in the Neyshabour aquifer (north-eastern Iran). The mean values of Mg2+ (61.4 mg/L), Na+ (553.2 mg/L), Cl- (800.4 mg/L), SO4 2- (428.7 mg/L), EC (3404 μS/cm), TH (525.0 mg/L) and TDS (2212.8 mg/L) in 55 groundwater samples taken from deep wells were higher than WHO and ISIRI guideline values. Geochemical and multivariate statistical analysis suggested that: i) the dissolved solids in the water samples are controlled mainly by geology, and ii) Na-Cl and Na-HCO3 type waters are dominant in the area. Besides the water–rock reactions (e.g., evaporites dissolution), groundwater salinity in Neyshabour aquifer has been intensified by irrigation return flows and groundwater level decline. The chemical weathering of mafic and ultramafic rocks in ophiolitic rocks is responsible for Mg enrichment in the majority of samples. Water quality index (WQI) and different indices calculated for the groundwater samples indicated that the most of them have poor water quality for drinking and agricultural uses especially in the southern, central and western parts of the plain.

Low Interest Rates – A Real Threat to German Banks or First-Class Whining?!
Authors: Hastenteufel Jessica , Fuchs Lena
Published: June 2021

The current phase of low interest rates poses major challenges for banks. A continuous decline in the interest result, which is so important for the profitability of banks, has been observed for years, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for banks to generate sufficient income from the interest margin. This is partly due to the European Central Bank’s expansive monetary policy. However, other factors, such as advancing digitization, also play a role here. The structure of the German banking market and the mostly strong focus of German banks on interest-bearing business are also increasingly becoming a problem. Still, the question arises, whether the current phase of low interest rates is actually a serious threat to banks or whether they are complaining at a high level.
Testing for the economic and environmental impacts of EU Emissions Trading System: A panel GMM approach
Authors: Gretszel Piotr , Gurgul Henryk , Lach Lukasz , Schleicher Stefan
Published: June 2021

The COVID‑19 pandemic has had a great impact on the economies of the EU, also with regard to the future of EU climate policy. The plan to rebuild and support the EU economy seems to place less emphasis on environmental issues as the main focus has been shifted to a quick economic recovery. One of the issues discussed in this context is the continued operation of the EU ETS. From this perspective, empirical research devoted to a thorough analysis of the impact of the EU ETS is of particular importance. At the same time, the current economic literature lacks any econometric analyzes devoted to the issues in question that would use detailed and reliable databases on EU ETS like the one provided by the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change. The aim of this paper is to make a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the EU ETS in terms of reducing the actual emissions while preserving the economic growth of EU member states. The extensive empirical analysis is focused on examining the issues in question for different phases of the EU ETS and various groups of EU economies that vary in terms of economic development and the overall air pollutant emission.

Comparison of barriers faced by women in the Australian and Indian construction industry
Authors: Paul Priya
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT

Today’s construction industry has extreme gender stratification that is still traditional in the employment of women. Even though the participation of women in the construction industry has grown, women are still considered as a minority in this field. The industry is considered as male-dominated with low participation of women. The aim of this study is to compare the challenges faced by women construction workers in two different countries: Australia and India. In this context, the study also investigated the level of participation of women in the construction industry and the common challenges faced by women that hinder their participation around the globe. The significant barriers that are faced by women construction workers around the globe are the male-dominated nature and masculine culture of the industry, work-family balance, lack of career progression, longer working hours and the complex workplace culture. When comparing the barriers faced by women in the Indian and Australian construction industry, some of them similar, whereas some are different. The barriers faced by women in Australia are gender stereotyping, lack of awareness, the rigidity of work roles, flexibility issues and changing the family structure. On the other hand, In India, women face barriers such as unequal wages, caste, cultural and religion restrictions, poor sanitary facilities, seasonal work irregularity and health hazards. The research proves that there are many barriers that counteract the participation of women in the industry and thus recommends some measures to improve their involvement.

Response of Ovalbumin to Fructose Addition and pH Variations - Ultrasonic and FTIR Study
Authors: Palaniappan Lakshmanan , Kavitha Kathiroli
Published: June 2021

Main aim of this work is to understand how the protein ovalbumin is affected by the presence of cosolvent and variations in pH of the medium.  The addition of cosolvent in many cases is found to control the extent of denaturation and pH is one of the main sources of denaturant of proteins.  In this work, keeping fructose solution as cosolvent and pH of the solution as main variable, the extent of denaturation is analysed by ultrasonic methods and are further confirmed by FTIR amide-I second derivative spectra at 303 K. Obtained results shows that denaturation is sensitive to pH, however, acidic and alkaline behave totally in a different way.  It was found that the impact of alkaline pH produces lesser denaturation and is slower whereas the impact of acidic pH is specific and instantaneous. Ultrasonic analysis shows that pH variation can denature the protein whereas the addition of cosolvent supports renaturation. FTIR spectra were recorded for the experimental samples from which the second derivative curve fitted spectra were constructed using Origin program.  Quantitative assignment of peaks and the variations in cumulative areas calculated for the structures like α-helix, β-sheets etc confirms the observations of ultrasonic analysis that the pH variations aid in denaturation whereas the cosolvent supports the renaturation of protein.
Impacts of climate variability on growth and variability of agricultural productivity: a review
Authors: Kumari Rekha , Kanga Shruti
Published: June 2021

In this paper a comprehensive review of different research papers, reports and articles associated with the impacts of the variability of climatic parameters mainly temperature and rainfall on agricultural productivity and its variability. In the high altitude and hilly regions due increase of temperature from low temperature, it makes those regions more favorable to more crop yield. Whereas in the planer region due to the increase of temperature the crop yields are getting affected to a greater extent. The rainfall is also having a great impact on the crop yield. However, due to irregular seasonal patterns, an increase in the number of dry days and extremely high rainy days are affecting the yield of almost every crop. Apart from temperature and rainfall, the crop yields are also affected by greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide, carbon mono-oxide, methane, etc. In opposite to that, the high volume of agricultural practices can decrease the level of greenhouse gases and climate change.

The proximate composition showed that moisture content was (9.54%), protein was (7.46%), Crude fibre was (5.60%), fat was (1.57%) and ash was (2.47%) respectively. This was found to be rich in protein and considerably high amount of moisture content. The anti-nutrient composition analysis revealed the presence of Saponin (0.471mg/100g), Alkaloid (3.905mg/100g), flavonoid (0.675mg/100g), tannin (0.017mg/100g), Phytate (0.060mg/100g), Oxalate (0.005mg/100g) and others, all of which are below toxic level. For mineral and vitamin compositions, potassium was significantly (P>0.05) higher than iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus while vitamin C was (4.920mg/100g) which is higher than all other vitamins evaluated. Based on these findings crayfish (Atya gabonensis) is recommended for consumption and for further investigation as a potential raw material for the  pharmaceutical industry.Keywords: Atya gabonensis, Nutrient, Anti nutrient, River Benue,composition
Role of public entrepreneurship in the progress of agricultural produces in Himalayas
Authors: Parrey Imtiyaz Rasool
Published: June 2021

Villagers living in the Western Himalayan region of Uttarakhand are primarily dependent upon subsistence farming. They follow the practice of growing crops and raising livestock sufficient only for one's own use, without any surplus for trade. With the growing financial needs of the villagers, some portion of their produces is now readily available for marketing. While doing so a farmer gets easily entrapped into the web of the middleman, who provides him anticipatory loans in lieu of the agricultural produces grown by him and a promise to handover those produces at a much lower prices. Under this process farmers are totally debarred from getting a real fair price for their agricultural produces which otherwise they could have fetched in the absence of a middleman. This paper showcases a real experiment done by one of the authors of this paper in which a Farmer’s Producer Organization was established with hundreds of local farmers. Farmer’s Producer Organization is ensuring true monetary value for their agricultural produces by eliminating middleman and ensuring value addition to their produces. This paper critically analyses a case of formation of a Farmer’s Producer Organization in Mukteshwar area of District Nainital, Uttarakhand. Paper also throws light over its working and the challenges being faced by new generation Farmers. Key Words: Traditional farming, Framer’s Producer Organization, Middleman, Livelihood security.
Effect of fortification of Pasta with natural immune booster Moringa Oleifera leaves powder (MLP) on Cooking Quality and Sensory analysis
Authors: Soni Namrata , Kumar Shiv
Published: June 2021

Malnutrition is a worldwide escalating severe problem, impacting majority of the Indian population. Currently, it is difficult to meet, the nutritional requirements with a limited type of stored food as compared to the variety of freshly available food. In such a scenario incorporating, the immune-boosting nutritional ingredients in a commonly consumed food can be adopted as one of the nutritional approaches. Hence, as an alternate to fresh food, the usage of a fortified high-nutrient food products can be one of the approaches e.g., the inclusion of fortified pasta in meals. Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing underutilized tree with high nutritional value. Its leaves are rich sources of bioactive components, vitamin A, vitamin C and Iron. Fortification of pasta products with Moringa oleifera leaf powder can be one of the cost-effective approaches and, a best immunity booster supplement for enhancing the nutritional value of pasta-based products which can be stored for several months. In current study, the preparation of pasta fortified with varying concentrations of Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MLP) was attempted, followed by its cooking quality analysis (cooking time, cooking weight, cooking loss and water absorption) and sensory attributes evaluation (based on 9 points hedonic scale including the colour, taste, texture, flavour and overall acceptability). The results from the qualitative as well as quantitative analysis suggest that the fortification of pasta with Moringa oleifera leaves differentially modified the sensory characteristics of the pasta in a concentration-dependent manner. The present study indicates that the fortification of pasta with Moringa oleifera leaf powder can act as a natural immune booster, and has the potential to reduce the probability of microbial infections.

Biochemical Studies on edible oysters Crassostrea madrasensis and Saccostrea cucullata.
Authors: Paul Packiam , Stella Chelladurai , Siva J
Published: June 2021

n general, changes in biochemical components are closely linked to the state of sexual maturity of the mollusks and to energy supply, either directly from ingested food or from previously stored reserves. Carbohydrates are considered to be the main energy source in adult marine bivalves and are important for gamete formation and maintenance of adult condition during periods of nutritive stress or in winter. Many studies have related changes in the biochemical composition of bivalves with the reproductive cycle mostly in the natural environment. Energy storage and biochemical cycle are closely related to reproductive activity in marine bivalves. The present study indicates that major biochemical constituents in oyster Crassostrea madrasensis and Saccostrea cucullate are significantly influenced by environment condition such as quantity of food availability, temperature and salinity. The high contents of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and water content values, during summer are indicating this season as the best for harvesting this particular oyster species and the statistical analysis of the biochemical composition of the tissue sample of the oyster revealed positive correlation in both species of oyster Crassostrea madrasensis and Saccostrea cucullata. The strong Positive Correlation were observed in between the two stations and the highest value of protein, carbohydrate and lipids were observed in Crassostrea madrasensis rock and creek when it compare to Saccostrea cucullata.

LINGUAGEM, COMUNICAÇÃO E PRODUÇÃO DE SENTIDOS NA FÓRMULA DISCURSIVA “PADRÃO FIFA”
Authors: Joana Chiodelli Chaise Maria , Cesar de Freitas Ernani
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho se inscreve no quadro teórico da análise do discurso (AD) francesa, de base enunciativa. Mais especificamente, se orienta pela proposta metodológica de Krieg-Planque (2010) acerca da noção de fórmula discursiva, compreendida como um adensamento de um sintagma, reconhecido como referente social, que passa a condensar temas polêmicos e a ser objeto de disputas quanto ao seu sentido. Será estudada a fórmula “Padrão Fifa”, expressão já usada como sinônimo de qualidade e que atualmente circula com sentidos outros, e sua circulação em produtos midiáticos. O estudo tem o objetivo de descrever o percurso da fórmula “Padrão Fifa” (MAINGUENEAU, 2008) e analisar suas características no que tange à cristalização; à inscrição discursiva; ao fato de que funciona como um referente social; e ao seu aspecto polêmico (KRIEG-PLANQUE, 2010). Os resultados apontam que, especialmente em ano de Copa do Mundo de Futebol, como 2018, o “Padrão Fifa” se reveste de interpretações polêmicas e diferentes do que pretendia o seu sentido original, muito em função da circulação da fórmula em textos alheios ao futebol.
Forgiveness, guilt, and shame in alcohol dependence: A comparative study in a Turkish sample
Authors: Vatansever Merve , Ozgur-Ilhan Inci
Published: June 2021

Aims: The purpose of the present study was to compare individuals with and without alcohol dependence in terms of forgiveness, shame, and guilt. A further purpose was to investigate the association of shame and guilt with alcohol dependence.

Methods: Fifty-five individuals with and 55 without alcohol dependence (based on ICD-10 criteria) were compared using the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), and Trait Shame and Guilt Scale (TSGS).

Results: Individuals with alcohol dependence showed a significantly lower level of self-forgiveness, pride and a significantly higher level of both shame and guilt than the non-alcohol dependent group in the univariate analysis. However, only guilt was related to the presence of alcohol dependence in the multivariate analysis. Self-forgiveness was negatively correlated with both shame and guilt in the alcohol-dependent individuals, but not among individuals without alcohol use problems.

Conclusions: The findings of this study support the importance of the self-conscious emotions of shame and guilt in alcohol dependence, together with self-forgiveness. These psychological states should be considered in the treatment of alcohol dependence.

Aims: To ascertain and compare the tolerance of the selected cassava (Manihot esculenta) genotypes to drought and salinity using chlorophyll, total phenolic acid content and yield attributes as the screening parameters.

Study design: The design was factorial consisting of ten cassava genotypes, three treatments (and control) with six replications laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD).

Place and duration of study: Department of Botany, University of Ibadan, between January and July, 2019.

Methodology: There were a total of 240 experimental units, 60 units in each group. It was semi-field as the plants were potted, treatments controlled while still exposed to natural environmental factors such as direct sunlight, air etc. All plants were watered for 6 weeks before exposing them to the physiological stresses of drought (D), salinity (S) and their interaction (D×S). The designated plants were subjected to S by applying 100mM of NaCl solution, D by with-holding water for 2wks interval, (D×S) by combining the two stresses and the first block (the first 60 units) serve as control.

Results: With respect to total chlorophyll content (TCC) at the final stage, the highest TCC was synthesized by TMEB419 (42.84 mg/g) under drought (D), IBA120008 (48.23 mg/g) and (39.80 mg/g ) under salinity (S) and under drought and salinity (D×S) respectively while the least TCC was recorded in genotypes I070593 (4.37 mg/g) under D, I920326 (21.86 mg/g) under S and I098510 (15.65 mg/g) under D×S. With respect to total phenolic acid content (TPC), the most tolerant genotype was the salt-stressed I070593 (4.201 mg/g) among all the stressed genotypes and their controls while the least tolerant was combined stressed I980581 (1.89 mg/g). With respect to tuber yield (fresh weight), cassava genotype I980581 is the most tolerant in all the stresses (174g under D, 350g under S and 224g under D×S) while the least tolerant were TMEB693 (23.97g) under D, IBA120008 (39.53g) under S and I010040 (16.80g) under D×S.

Conclusion:  In conclusion, genotype I980581 is the most tolerant under all the stresses while the least tolerant were TMEB693 under D, IBA120008 under S and I010040 (D×S).
