La pequeña cerillera de Hans Christian Andersen: Dramatización de un cuento en Educación Infantil.
Authors: Díaz Moreno Sila
Published: September 2018

La Educación Infantil es una de las etapas de mayor trascendencia en la formación de la personalidad de los niños y niñas. Es en este momento cuando se crean los cimientos de todos los conocimientos que se irán adquiriendo a lo largo de la vida. Los cuentos son una de las herramientas más eficaces, junto al juego simbólico, para lograr el desarrollo integral del alumnado en los primeros años de escolarización (Bassedas, Huguet y Solé, 2006). En este artículo se exponen los principales apartados del trabajo escrito, que acompaña y dirige la dramatización del cuento La pequeña cerillera de Hans Christian Andersen y el enlace al video de la representación, realizada por el alumnado del último curso de Grado en Educación Infantil, en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación (Universidad de A Coruña). Esta dramatización fue diseñada para llevarse a cabo en los centros educativos que imparten dicha etapa, con la finalidad de transmitir a los niños y niñas de entre tres y seis años, valores como la solidaridad y la compasión, así como la aproximación a un tema tan importante como la muerte, considerado tabú en muchas escuelas (De la Herrán, s.f.).

Authors: TOKLU İsmail Tamer
Published: September 2018

Akreditif uluslararası ticarette yaygın olarak kullanılan bir ödeme şeklidir. Burada Milletlerarası Ticaret Odası (MTO) tarafından yayınlanan yeknesak kurallar akreditifin çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. UCP 600 sayılı broşür olarak tanımlanan bu kurallar ihracatçılar tarafından detaylı olarak incelenmeyi gerektirmektedir. Türkiye dünyada en büyük bal üreticileri arasında sayılmasına rağmen, ürün çoğunlukla yurt içinde tüketilmektedir. Son yıllarda ihracat rakamlarında göreli artış olmasına rağmen bunun dünya ölçeğinde yeterli seviyede olduğu söylenemez. Bu çalışma akreditifli ödeme şekli ve ihracat bağlamında Türkiye bal sektörünün durumunu incelemektedir. Doğal bal ile ilgili bir akreditif vaka analizi olarak incelenerek ihracat pazarlama performansı değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmanın paydaşlar için bir değer sunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Zakrzewska-Manterys Elżbieta , Niedbalski Jakub
Published: September 2018

Niepełnosprawność jest terminem opisującym nie tylko pewien stan rzeczy, lecz jest także pojęciem, w którego rozumienie wbudowane są wartości i oceny, ukryte postulaty, zakamuflowane etykietowanie. Innymi słowy, pojęcie, o którym mowa, jest uwikłane w świat sensów i znaczeń ze swej istoty wieloznacznych, nieprecyzyjnych i zmiennych w zależności od czasu i okoliczności. Przyjmując takie założenie, celem, który przyświecał nam podczas tworzenia niniejszej publikacji, było zrekonstruowanie jednostkowego i społecznego rozumienia oraz postrzegania niepełnosprawności. Z tego względu w numerze znalazły się artykuły poświęcone takim zagadnieniom, jak: niepełnosprawność jako konstrukt społeczny, proces rekonstruowania tożsamości, przemiany ról społecznych czy style życia oraz aktywności osób niepełnosprawnych w różnych sferach i kontekstach.

Agroforestry Standards for Regenerative Agriculture
Authors: Elevitch Craig , Mazaroli Daniella , Ragone Diane
Published: September 2018

Agroforestry is increasingly being recognized as a holistic food production system that can have numerous significant environmental, economic, and social benefits. This growing recognition is paralleled in the U.S. by the budding interest in regenerative agriculture and motivation to certify regenerative practices. Current efforts to develop a regenerative agriculture certification offer an opportunity to consider agroforestry’s role in furthering regenerative goals. To understand this opportunity, we first examine how agroforestry practices can advance regenerative agriculture’s five core environmental concerns: soil fertility and health, water quality, biodiversity, ecosystem health, and carbon sequestration. Next, we review a subset of certification programs, standards, guidelines, and associated scientific literature to understand existing efforts to standardize agroforestry. We determine that development of an agroforestry standard alongside current efforts to certify regenerative agriculture offers an opportunity to leverage common goals and strengths of each. Additionally, we determine that there is a lack of standards with measurable criteria available for agroforestry, particularly in temperate locations. Lastly, we propose a framework and general, measurable criteria for an agroforestry standard that could potentially be implemented as a standalone standard or built into existing agriculture, forestry, or resource conservation certification programs.
Every Entangled Stuff Has Its Own Avatar
Authors: Mastriani Mario
Published: September 2018

During the last century, entanglement was the bone of contention between the two main pillars of Physics: General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). This began in 1935 with the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (EPR paradox) which concluded that although Quantum Mechanics is not wrong, it is an incomplete theory to represent physical reality. In this paper it is demonstrated that some byproducts resulting from entanglement and which we will call avatars act as a hinge that link both theories making the completeness of QM clear. Moreover, a thorough analysis of the non-locality of this effect will be carried out. Besides, it is demonstrated that entanglement is an instantaneous phenomenon and that it does not require the use of a superluminal signaling for this purpose. Finally, the avatars will also appear in each wormhole resulting from an entanglement process (WREP) demonstrating that they are traversable with an equivalent path of null length which can be crossed in a null time with all that this implies in Quantum Communications.

We obtain two generalizations of a known theorem of A. Alam and M. Imdad (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 17 (2015) 693–702) showing that some standard proofs can be obtained involving only Cauchy sequences of the successive approximations instead of the usual successive approximations sequences. Suitable examples prove the effective generalization of our results in metric spaces not necessarily complete.
Comparisons in Screen-Time Behaviours among Adolescents with and without Long-Term Illnesses or Disabilities: Results from 2013/14 HBSC Study
Authors: Ng Kwok W , Augustine Lilly , Inchley Jo
Published: September 2018

Reducing sedentary behaviours can help prevent non-communicable diseases, particularly among young adolescents with long term illnesses or disabilities (LTID). Much of young people’s voluntary sedentary time is related to screen-time behaviours (STBs) such as TV viewing, playing computer games, and using the computer for other activities. Although public health data on adolescents’ STB is growing, information about adolescents with LTID is currently lacking in a European context. The purpose of this study is to compare time on STBs between adolescents with and without LTID in European Countries through the HBSC 2013/14 study. Young adolescents (n=61,329, boys; 47.8%) from 15 European countries reported the time spent on TV viewing, playing computer games, and using the computer for other purposes on weekdays and the weekend. STBs were dichotomised based on international recommendations of less than 2 hours per day, and Chi-square test of independence were performed to investigate differences. STB time was combined to produce a sum score as dependent variable in multiple ANCOVA with age and family affluence as covariates. There were statistically significant differences in computer gaming among boys and other computer use among girls for both weekdays and weekends, whereby adolescents with LTID reported higher use. In addition, both boys and girls with LTID spent more time on STBs than their same sex peers without LTID (Boys, F=28.17, p<.001; Girls, F=9.60, p=.002). The results of this study indicate a need to address high levels of STB among young adolescents with LTID.
The Mediator Role of Negative Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies between Interpersonal Problems and Borderline Personality Beliefs
Authors: Akyunus Miray , Gençöz Tülin , Karakose Selin
Published: September 2018

Interpersonal difficulties and emotion regulation are the core characteristics of the borderline personality disorders (BPD). However, how emotion regulation strategies contribute to the association between interpersonal problems and borderline personality symptomatology have not been well-addressed in the literature. The aim of the current study is to examine the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between interpersonal problems and borderline personality beliefs. The study consisted of 648 (381 women and 267 male) people from Turkey. In addition to Socio Demographic Form, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-32) and Borderline Personality Belief Subscale (PBQ) were used to collect data from participants. Results showed that negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies, particularly catastrophization, blaming-others and self-blame mediated the relationship between interpersonal problems and borderline personality beliefs. With the cognitive level of assessment, the findings of the current study provide enlightening information to understand the underlying processes of the borderline personality pattern, as well as promising clinical implications to improve intervention programs within cognitive therapy approaches.
An exploration of place and its representations: an intertextual/ dialogical reading of the photographs of AB Ovenstone and the novel Gillespie by John MacDougall Hay.
Authors: Blair Lindsay Fiona
Published: September 2018

“An intertextual/ dialogical reading of place through photography and fiction”

The article is an exploration of place and its representations based on the intertextual reading of a series of photographs (1880-82) of Tarbert, Loch Fyne by Andrew Begbie Ovenstone (1851-1935) and the dialogical reading of a novel, Gillespie (1914), by John MacDougall Hay (1881-1919) which is set in Tarbert. The proposed article is inspired by a sense that a semiotic approach to the subject will reveal far more than has been discovered within the tradition of hermeneutics and patrimony and that much will be gained by a study of the contrast between written and visual signifiers.

The article raises questions about the (unexamined) coded readings of place especially in relation to the photograph, and the lack of an adequately theorized tradition for the novel. The literary text is well known - if not well understood - but the images are from a rare, unpublished, private collection of photographs from Scotland, India and the furthest reaches of Empire (Ovenstone was the Atlantic Freight Manager of Anchor Line Ltd, the Glasgow shipping company).

The paper emphasizes the need for the use of codes to decipher the texts. When we “read” the photographs we need to be aware of the intertextual relationship between the photograph and the landscape painting tradition as well as the common practice of the created tableau – there is then overlaid upon the image the sense of a set of conventions, a system which operates much like a language. We are able to discover through the notion of the “long quotation from appearances” the potential for more complex “synchronic” readings. Likewise, in the case of Gillespie, the novel operates within a genre which determines a “reading”. When we are aware of a code, we become aware of the way that Hay manoeuvres adroitly to thwart the reader’s best efforts to settle upon a preferred reading – especially one shaped by an authoritative narrator - which thereby allows for the genuine experience of “heteroglossia” to emerge. The notion of truth in Gillespie is interrogated in the light of Heidegger’s essay “The Origins of a Work of Art” in order that the relationship between representation and reality be clarified.

Application of the electron backscateered diffraction method in microstructure research for determining of causes of metal structures destruction
Authors: Markova L. V. , Koleda V. V. , Kolodinskaya N. S.
Published: September 2018

The application of the diffraction method for backscattered electrons allows us to take a fresh look at the structural changes in the material as a whole and on the processes of destruction of metal structures in particular. The aim of this work was to apply the method of diffraction of backscattered electrons to reveal the characteristic distinctive features of the structure of the material in areas under the fracture and away from it.

The diffraction of backscattered electrons is a method that allows one to determine the orientation of individual grains, the local texture, and also to identify the phases in the sample under research. This method can determine local and general deformations, the number of recrystallized and deformed grains, the size and misorientation of grains, etc.

The results of a study of the mast fragment of the unit for drilling and repairing wells with a carrying capacity of 200 tons (APC-200) are presented with the establishment of characteristic structural differences between the sites under the fracture and away from it.

The appearance and development of a subgrain structure at the site under the slope is established. It is shown that the material of the mast was made of rolled metal, for which no additional heat treatment was carried out, and destruction could occur at almost any point.
Effect of Phosphonate Applications, for Phytophthora Brown Rot Control, on ‘Nadorcott’ Mandarin External Fruit Quality
Authors: van Niekerk Jan , Kotze Charl , North Jade , Cronje Paul
Published: September 2018

Phosphonate foliar applications in the period before harvest are routinely used in citrus (Citrus sp.) production for the control of phytophthora brown rot (Phytophthora sp.) control. However, several grower reports indicated that these applications caused phytotoxic damage on ‘Nadorcott’ mandarin (Citrus reticulata hybrid) fruit. To investigate this, trials were conducted over two seasons (2016 and 2017) in two climatically different citrus production areas of South Africa. These trials consisted of ammonium and potassium phosphite foliar applications (at full dose or half dose) at green, color break, or full color stages of fruit development. At commercial harvest, fruit was sampled from the different treatments and the incidence of the phytotoxic damage was documented as both percentage incidence and a phytotoxic index (PI). Results indicated that, regardless of the type of phosphonate or dosage applied, phytotoxic damage was observed at harvest if foliar applications were carried out at color break or full color stage of fruit development. The same results were observed in the different climatic areas, although the mean percentage of damaged fruit varied between the areas. Based on these results it is recommended that skirt pruning be used to mitigate phytophthora brown rot on ‘Nadorcott’ mandarin fruit.
Assessing the Potential of Nontraditional Water Sources for Landscape Irrigation
Authors: Cabrera Raul I. , Altland James E. , Niu Genhua

Scarcity and competition for good quality and potable water resources are limiting their use for urban landscape irrigation, with several nontraditional sources being potentially available for these activities. Some of these alternative sources include rainwater, stormwater, brackish aquifer water, municipal reclaimed water (MRW), air-conditioning (A/C) condensates, and residential graywater. Knowledge on their inherent chemical profile and properties, and associated regional and temporal variability, is needed to assess their irrigation quality and potential short- and long-term effects on landscape plants and soils and to implement best management practices that successfully deal with their quality issues. The primary challenges with the use of these sources are largely associated with high concentrations of total salts and undesirable specific ions [sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), boron (B), and bicarbonate (HCO3−) alkalinity]. Although the impact of these alternative water sources has been largely devoted to human health, plant growth and aesthetic quality, and soil physicochemical properties, there is emergent interest in evaluating their effects on soil biological properties and in natural ecosystems neighboring the urban areas where they are applied.
Tree Irrigation Requirements in the Semiarid Southwestern United States
Authors: Schuch Ursula K.
Published: September 2018

Several large cities in the southwestern United States have set a target to increase their tree canopy cover up to 25%, which often requires more than doubling the current canopy cover. A major goal is to alleviate high temperatures and support public health in addition to gaining all the other benefits conferred by urban forests. Rising temperatures, the arid climate, continued drought, increasing population numbers, and the growing urban forest in the southwestern United States fuel the demand for more water. Using water wisely to garner the benefits of trees requires the application of sufficient irrigation based on the water needs of different species. Current irrigation recommendations for trees are often based on expert consensus. Research-based results of tree irrigation studies from the southwestern United States are presented to give specific examples of how trees respond when they are exposed to different irrigation regimes.

Published: September 2018

Webinars have become an important aspect of many extension outreach programs, especially for large research projects that cover wide geographic regions. Evaluation of webinar impact is important to funders and stakeholders alike. Surveys to gather direct and indirect data can be used to evaluate webinars for their overall utility. The results can inform funders of program success and also serve as an indicator of the continued viability of webinar programming for extension audiences. The Northern Grapes Project administered a webinar series on topics related to grape (Vitis sp.) and wine production from 2012 through 2016. Thirty webinars were delivered to an audience of 3083, with nearly an additional 2400 views of recorded webinars. To estimate the value of the series, we modified two models, one that estimated viewer time investment and one that calculated the “green savings.” In addition, we surveyed webinar participants, asking them how much they would pay to watch a live webinar and access the archives, as well as how much money they had earned and/or saved from the information presented. Together, the models and survey indicated a webinar series value of nearly $3.4 million.
Riding the waves of culture: an empirical study on acclimatization of expatriates in IT industry
Authors: A. N. Raghavendra , Shivakanth Shetty A.
Published: September 2018

The forces of globalization and subsequent trade across the borders have necessitated the firms to have their presence across the globe to meet the needs of their customers. The employees or expatriates will be sent on assignment to different countries for a period of time ranging from few weeks, months to years. This sudden exposure to the different environment not only makes these expatriates vulnerable to cultural shocks, but also may significantly affect their job performance. Their failure to acclimatize to the foreign conditions will not only hurt the confidence, career and life of the expatriate, but it will also cost a lot to the company. The present paper aims to understand of the process of expatriate adjustment in the Indian Information Technology (IT) industry by examining demographic variables and few organizational variables of expatriate’s adjustment process. A structured questionnaire was distributed to the expatriate employees working in 50 IT companies in the Silicon city, Bengaluru. The study uses Chi-square test and linear regression for testing the hypotheses and found that there is a significant influence of demographic variables like gender, work experience and length of assignment on acclimatization of expatriates to their host country culture. The findings of the study proved that there is a significant relationship between demographic variables and the cultural acceptance of the expatriates. Hence, it is suggested that multinational companies should create an enabling environment within the organizations to make international assignees compatible and comfortable with different cultural values and inculcate cultural acceptance to make them successful in their international assignments.

Published: September 2018

Background:

Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, despite many different drugs
available to treat the disease. This high mortality rate is largely due to the complexity of the disease,
which results from several genetic and epigenetic changes. Therefore, researchers are constantly searching
for novel drugs that can target different and multiple aspects of cancer.

Experimental:

After a screening, we selected one novel molecule, out of ninety-four triazole derivatives,
that strongly affects the viability and proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7,
with minimal effects on non-cancer cells. The drug, named DAN94, induced a dose-dependent decrease
in MCF-7 cells viability, with an IC50 of 3.2 ± 0.2 µM. Additionally, DAN94 interfered with mitochondria
metabolism promoting reactive oxygen species production, triggering apoptosis and arresting the
cancer cells on G1/G0 phase of cell cycle, inhibiting cell proliferation. These effects are not observed
when the drug was tested in the non-cancer cell line MCF10A. Using a mouse model with xenograft tumor
implants, the drug preventing tumor growth presented no toxicity for the animal and without altering
biochemical markers of hepatic function.

Results and Conclusion:

The novel drug DAN94 is selective for cancer cells, targeting the mitochondrial
metabolism, which culminates in the cancer cell death. In the end, DAN94 has been shown to be a
promising drug for controlling breast cancer with minimal undesirable effects.

Published: September 2018

Vilsmeier-Haack reaction is one of the most important chemical reactions used for formylation of electron-rich arens. Even though Vilsmeier-Haack reaction was studied on a wide variety of hydrazones of enolizable ketones, literature lacks the examples of the use of 4-substituted cyclohexanones as a substrate. The cyclization potential of hydrazones of cyclic keto compounds is still interested topic of investigation. In the present study, the reaction of various hydrazines with 4-substituted cyclohexanones was proceeded and the resulted hydrazones in crude form were treated with Vilsmeier- Haack reagent using both conventional as well as microwave methods. The reaction of phenyl hydrazine with 4-phenylcyclohexanone yielded the corresponding tetrahydro-1H-carbazole instead of hydrazone during solvent evaporation at 40ºC. By keeping the temperature of water bath to 0ºC, the corresponding hydrazone was isolated in crude form which was immediate treated with POCl3/DMF for 10 min at 90ºC using microwave irradiation method afforded novel 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole derivative. Using this optimized condition, the substrate scope for the synthesis of tetrahydroindazole derivatives was explored and synthesized total 6 final compounds. The microwave assisted synthesis of tetrahydroindazoles from 4-substituted cyclohexanones has been reported for the first time under mild conditions in good yield. Easy work up procedure, high yielding, shortened reaction times, clean and ecofriendly are the main advantages of this protocol.

Published: September 2018

Background:

The use of effective contraceptive methods must be encouraged among adolescents, not only to prevent unintended pregnancies but also to promote the sexual health and well-being of these young people. In effect, hormonal contraceptives offer several benefits beyond prevention of pregnancy to every woman, in particular to adolescents (e.g., dysmenorrhea, irregular bleeding, hirsutism, acne); moreover, they can be a targeted therapy for some gynecological diseases (e.g., endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome), to ensure a better quality of life.

Objective:

The purpose of this article is to review the different formulations of COCs for adolescent and young adult women, and analyze their efficacy, safety, and benefits of specific pathological conditions.

Methods:

We screened published literature on PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus, using as keywords “oral contraceptive” in adolescent and young adult women. We included only articles in English about the COCs, different regimens and formulations.

Results:

Our literature analysis allows us to underline the important role of COC not only as birth control method, but also as valid treatments for gynecological disorders related to hormonal fluctuations (e.g., dysmenorrhea, irregular bleeding, hirsutism, acne) and pathological diseases, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, with a preventive role for fertility preservation and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Conclusion:

Adequate, care and competent counseling is the key to achieve good compliance of young women with contraception. Through the “GATHER” method suggested by WHO, health care providers should first evaluate the balance between benefits and risks of hormonal treatment, create an appropriate safety profile and then recommend COC prescription in adolescent and young women.

Published: September 2018

Background:

Tricyclic psychotropic drugs are defined as a tricyclic rings of the dibenzazepine group with the presence of sulfur and nitrogen atoms. They have been prescribed for antidepressive therapy over the years. Due to their medical importance, many analytical methods have been developed for their monitoring. However, benefits of electrochemical techniques such as costeffectiveness, fast, easy operation and non-destructiveness make them appropriate analytical methods for drug assays. Electrochemical determinations of pharmaceuticals require suitable working electrodes. During years, many electrodes are modified by a variety of modifiers and several sensors were developed based on them. In this regard, nanomaterials, due to their remarkable properties, are one of the most important choices.

Objective:

Here, the application of electroanalytical methods in the determination of electroactive tricyclic psychotropic drugs will be reviewed and the nanomaterials which are used for improvements of the working electrodes will be considered.
