From doublevalent to monovalent discourse : the role of the translator in mediating heteroglossia and heteropsia in a fictional narrative
Authors: Mozetič Uroš
Published: August 2018

Among the many unresolved issues in the field of translation studies is also the one pertaining to the question of who sees/speaks in the source and in the target text. To this effect, the paper explores, firstly, excerpts from James Joyce's Dubliners, in order to extrapolate the prevailing narrative strategies with respect to narrative perspective and their rendering in the Slovene translation. Secondly, the results obtained from the analysTs of the selected segments 1r6m both the source and target texts on the micro-structural level are compared with the effects that take place on the macro-structural level. The main objective, however, is to provide an adequate insight into those textual conditions that significantly govern the realisation of Bakhtin's notion of double-voiced discourse, particularly those which occur in a very limited stretch of language, sometimes even within a single phrase. The assumption is that such a narrative configuration is bound to present special difficulties for a translator of any text which includes a polyphony of voices and perspectives. Consequently, Bakhtin's postulation of heteroglossiais complemented with heteropsia, a medical term denoting unequal vision in the two eyes, which has been employed to signal a parallel perception of the object observed. Since these two rhetorical phenomena are most aptly realised by means of free indirect discourse, particular emphasis is placed on the variety of its function in a fictional narrative.
Louis Adamic's "Old alien" as a relic of ethnic differentiation in the U.S.A
Authors: Petrič Jerneja
Published: August 2018

The paper analyzes Louis Adamic 1940 story " The Old Alien by the Kitchen Window" as the foil to his 1928 reportage "The Bohunks".The latter provoked a violent controversy among Slovene Americans due to its honest, straightforward and none-too-flattering presentation of the Slavic immigrants in America known as the Bohunks. "The Old Alien" story is both a portrait of an individual as well as a broader cultural and social analysis of Slovene American life.

Pianist Glenn Gould's often dismal writing
Authors: Blake Jason
Published: August 2018

Glenn Gould was known to the world primarily as a pianist. His Bach interpretations were lauded, his Mozart generally lamented, and his often curious musical views met with suspicion. Despite the fact that it was his primary occupation, Gould considered himself to be much more than a pianist. He produced a number of radio and television documentaries on subjects ranging from musical topics, to life in the north of Canada. He considered himself to be only a part time pianist, and he longed to be recognized also as a writer. After briefly introducing Glenn Gould as Canadian culturalicon, this paper examines the lesser-known part of his oeuvre, and points out some of the stylistic shortcomings of his writing, before addressing the following question: "Why bother to read him?"

Dans le cadre de cette étude l'auteur suit comme ligne de conduite l'idée que seule une théorie de réunion du langage et de la littérature peut établir le propre du traduire, son im-manence. Avec la traduction du poeme, "Chanson" de Boris Vian, offerte pour la premiere fois en Slovene, l'auteur tente de voir si, en effet, les ennuis de la traduction peuvent être éclaircis davantage. La constatation que les traductions ainsi que les oeuvres littéraires existent bien au sein de l' "institution" littéraire oblige l'auteur à se poser la question de l'(in)traduisibilité du poeme ˝Chanson˝ de Boris Vian. Apres un bref aperçu historique et théorique sur la traduction cette étude procédant par induction relie les particularités poétiques de ˝Chanson˝, qui se mettent à jour au cours du proccessus de la traduction même, à des question théoriquesfondamentales sur la traduisibuilité. Somme toute lćauteur nous présente la façon propre de penser un discours poétique au cours de sa traduction.
William Morris and the critical utopia of high fantasy
Authors: Večko Matic
Published: August 2018

The novels The Wood Beyond the World (1894) and The Weil at the World's End (1896) by William Morris are considered the formative works of the type of literature which has been labelled high fantasy. The latter is one of the commercially most successful genres of fantasy literature. The two novels are analysed from the perspective of critical utopianism as articulated through a distinc­tive type of aesthetic structure which was established in these works and has become characteristic of the high fantasy literature. The author of the article suggests that it is this complex of aesthetic structiire-aiid ifs iiiherent iitopian lmpulse which may be one of the important faciors-in the perennia popularity of high fantasy.
Leatherstocking tales: 20th century Slovenian translations
Authors: Mazi-Leskovar Darja
Published: August 2018

This article examines Slovenian translations of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales published from 1926 onwards. By analysing the domestication and foreignisation procedures, it uncovers how these translations testify to the narrowing of the gap between Slovenian and American cultures. The notes in particular are highlighted since they are revealing also about the importance of each translation for Slovenian cultural context.
Water research and collaboration in the Southern African Development Community
Authors: Pouris Anastassios
Published: August 2018

This article investigates water-related research in the Southern African Development Community. Water issues are part of the region’s science and technology priorities as 4countries receive less rain than the global average of 860 mm/yr – Botswana with 400 mm/yr, Namibia with 254 mm/yr, South Africa with 497 mm/yr and Zimbabwe with 652 mm/yr. Furthermore, the international literature indicates that joint or internationally coordinated research has the potential to improve the scientific–technical quality of international agreements, prevent conflict and shape the way for appropriate management of the shared resources. Scientometric analysis using the Web of Science database is employed in order to identify the state of water research and collaboration in the SADC region. The Web of Science indexes a defined set of journals worldwide and the South African Government provides incentives/subsidies for publications indexed by this database. The results show that South Africa is the main producer (80%) of research publications in the region. Similarly, in the field of water research South Africa produces 75% of the region’s research. The SADC collaboration matrix in water-related research reveals that there is minimal, if any, collaborative research on the topic. Some seed-level research exists between South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The main funders of research are the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) (acknowledged in 180 publications), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (72 publications), the National Institutes of Health (64 publications) and the Wellcome Trust (60 publications). Policy implications are discussed (e.g. the establishment of SADC Common Water Research Area; research support for the region, etc.).
Electrospun chitosan-based nanofibres for removal of phenols from drinking water
Authors: Nthunya Lebea N , Masheane Monaheng L , Malinga Soraya P , Nxumalo Edward N , Mhlanga Sabelo D
Published: August 2018

Chitosan-based nanofibres were synthesized using a fibre electrospinning technique and tested for the removal of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The downside of chitosan-based materials is swelling. In this study, it was found that the addition of polyisoprene not only improved the electrospinning ability of chitosan but also reduced the swelling of the nanofibres by 50%. The adsorption studies of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol on the chitosan-based nanofibres were conducted in a batch process. The nanofibres were found to remove up to 90% of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol with an adsorption reduction capacity of 12% at each cycle of reusability test. The reduction capacity was associated with the chemical interaction of the adsorbate and the adsorbent. This indicated that the nanofibres can effectively remove 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol from water for at least 3 cycles. The adsorption efficiency improved as the degree of cross-linking was reduced and the adsorption mechanism followed the Freundlich isotherm suggesting that the adsorption of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol occurred in different layers on the surface of the nanofibres. The degree of crosslinking of the electrospun nanofibres with glutaraldehyde was found to affect theadsorption capacity. Nanofibres with different degrees of crosslinking were used to study the effect of pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration.
Impact of variable speed pumps on water quality in distribution systems
Authors: Darweesh Moustafa S
Published: August 2018

Water quality has become a prominent issue in the study of water distribution networks. Variable speed pumps (VSPs) can control and improve the performance of water distribution systems. However, they may have effects on the water quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of VSPs on water quality. The EPANET water quality simulator was applied for modelling water age and chlorine residual in a distribution network. In addition, intrusion of an active contaminant and analysis of leakage effects on residual chlorine concentration were performed through extended period simulations. Results indicate that VSPs may have negative impacts on water quality, including increased water age during low consumption times, and reduced disinfectant residuals at peak hours. In addition, the average rate of chlorine decay for fixed speed pumps (57%) is higher than that for VSPs (54%) when a conservative contaminant (sewage water) is considered.
Predicting continuous form of soil-water characteristics curve from limited particle size distribution data
Authors: Amanabadi Samaneh , Mohammadi Mohammad Hossien , Masihabadi Mohammad Hassan , Vazirinia Mehran
Published: August 2018

Detailed information derived from a soil moisture characteristics curve (SMC) helps in water flow and solute transport management. Hence, prediction of the SMC from soil particle size distribution (PSD), which is easy to measure, would be convenient. In this study, we combine an integrated robust PSD-based model and a Van Genuchten SMC model to predict a continuous form of SMC using sand, silt and clay percentages for 50 soils selected from the UNSODA database. We compare the performance of the proposed approach with some previous prediction models. The results indicated that the SMC can be predicted and modelled properly by using sand, silt, clay and bulk density data. The model’s bias was attributed to the high fine particle and organic carbon (OC) content. We concluded that independence of the proposed method from the database and any empirical coefficients make predictions more reliable and applicable for large-scale water and solute transport management.
Measuring and modelling evapotranspiration in a South African grassland: Comparison of two improved Penman-Monteith formulations
Authors: Gwate Onalenna , Mantel Sukhmani K , Palmer Anthony R , Gibson Lesley A , Munch Zahn
Published: August 2018

Accurately measuring evapotranspiration (ET) is important in the context of global atmospheric changes and for use with climate models. Direct ET measurement is costly to apply widely and local calibration and validation of ET models developed elsewhere improves confidence in ET derived from such models. This study sought to compare the performance of the Penman-Monteith-Leuning (PML) and Penman-Monteith-Palmer (PMP) ET models, over mesic grasslands in two study sites in South Africa. The study used routine meteorological data from a scientific-grade automatic weather station (AWS) to apply the PML and PMP models. The PML model was calibrated at one site and validated in both sites. On the other hand, the PMP model does not require calibration and hence it was validated in both sites. The models were validated using ET derived from a large aperture scintillometer (LAS). The PML model performed well at both sites with root mean square error (RMSE) within 20% of the mean daily observed ET (R2 of 0.83 to 0.91). Routine meteorological data were able to reproduce fluxes calculated using micrometeorological techniques and this increased the confidence in the use of data from sparsely distributed AWSs to derive reasonable ET values. The PML model was better able to simulate observed ET compared to the PMP model, since the former models both transpiration and soil evaporation (ES), while the latter only models transpiration. Hence, the PMP model systematically underestimated ET in a context where the leaf area index (LAI) was < 2.5. Model predictions in the grasslands could be improved by incorporating the ES component in the PMP model while the PML model could be improved by careful choice of the number of days to be used in the determination of the fraction of ES.
Evaluating the carbon sequestration potential of volcanic soils in South Iceland after birch afforestation
Authors: Hunziker Matthias , Arnalds Olafur , Kuhn Nikolaus J.
Published: August 2018

Abstract. Afforestation is a strategy to sequester atmospheric carbon in the terrestrial system and to enhance ecosystem services. Iceland's large areas of formerly vegetated and now degraded ecosystems therefore have a high potential to act as carbon sinks. Consequently, the ecological restoration of these landscape systems is part of climate mitigation programs supported by the Icelandic government. The aim of this study was to explore the change of the soil organic carbon (SOC) pools and to estimate the SOC sequestration potential during the re-establishment of birch forest on severely degraded land. Differently aged afforested mountain birch sites (15, 20, 25 and 50 years) were compared with sites of severely degraded land, naturally growing remnants of mountain birch woodland and grasslands which were re-vegetated using fertilizer and grass seeds 50 years ago. The soil was sampled to estimate the SOC stocks and for physical fractionation to characterize the quality of the SOC. The results of our study show that the severely degraded soils can potentially sequester an additional 20 t C ha−1 (0–30 cm) to reach the SOC stock of naturally growing birch woodlands. After 50 years of birch growth, the SOC stock is lower than that of naturally growing birch woodland. Hence, afforested stands can sequester additional SOC after 50 years of birch growth. The SOC fractionation revealed that at all tested sites most of the carbon was stored in the
Plaster Archeology in Budapest’s Seventh District: Toward a Mode of Engagement with Architectural Surfaces
Authors: Munteán László
Published: August 2018

Used as a predominant covering material in Central and Eastern Europe throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, plaster’s malleable characteristics also enabled its efficient utilization as a material for imitating decorative features traditionally made from stone and marble. Instead of looking at plaster as an imitation material, this article proposes studying it as a material archive containing unintentionally preserved traces of the past that may include fragments of advertisements, graffiti, bullet holes, or virtually any inscription in plaster that would otherwise be bound to disappear. Plaster archeology is a mode of looking at plaster less as a conduit of architectural form and more as a material surface involving depth. As a discipline, plaster archeology entails a set of practices that allows one to attend to these surfaces, although not with the intention to save traces of the past from disappearance, but rather towards reconceptualizing plaster as a material in its own right that constantly transforms at the whims of human and climatic forces.  By using two buildings located in the heart of Budapest’s seventh district as case studies, I will then demonstrate how the plaster archeologist views and examines façades. Finally, through an exploration of plaster’s characteristics and history, I argue for plaster archeology as a non-interventive mode of engaging with architectural surfaces.
The Travelogues of Gyula Illyés and Lajos Nagy on Their Visit to the Soviet Union
Authors: Pastor Peter
Published: August 2018

The Hungarian populist writers Gyula Illyés and Lajos Nagy visited the Soviet Union together during the summer of 1934 as guests of the Union of Soviet Writers. Upon their return to Hungary, Illyés and Nagy published their impressions in separate travelogues.Although they both stressed that they strived for objectivity in their travel reports, they did not fully succeed in their efforts. Their perspectives were colored by a feeling of cultural superiority carried over from their experiences in the Hungary of the 1930s. Their writing was also tainted with anti-Semitism, as evidenced by their reflections on the life of Jews in Russia and Ukraine. Although their hosts took them to model institutions on a government-designed grand tour, they were not won over to the communist cause and failed to become fellow travelers.
Identity and Intergenerational Remembrance Through Traumatic Culinary Nostalgia: Three Generations of Hungarians of Jewish Origin
Authors: Vasvári Louise O.
Published: August 2018

In my interdisciplinary analysis of foodways which combines Gender Studies with Holocaust Studies, I aim to demonstrate the cultural and gendered significance of the wartime sharing of recipes among starving women prisoners in concentration camps. This study will further discuss the continuing importance of food talk and food writing in the aftermath of the Holocaust, with an emphasis on the memory work of Hungarian survivors and their descendants. Fantasy cooking and recipe creation, or “cooking with the mouth,” as it was called in many camps, was a way for many inmates to maintain their identities and connections to their ethnic and family history, a survival technique that may have influenced the depiction of food memories and their continuing role in the postwar memoir writing of survivor women. I will also examine the continued use of food talk as a genealogy of intergenerational remembrance and transmission in the post-memory writing of second-generation and even third-generation daughters and (very occasionally) sons of Hungarian origin. Studying multigenerational Holocaust alimentary writing has become particularly urgent today because we are approaching a biological and cultural caesura, at which juncture direct survivors will disappear and we will need new forms of transmission to reshape Holocaust memories for the future.
Reading Ádám Bodor’s Sinistra körzet [‘The Sinistra Zone’] in English
Authors: Orzóy Ágnes
Published: August 2018

This article focuses on the English translation and reception of a major contemporary Hungarian novel, Ádám Bodor’s The Sinistra Zone. A fairly slim book, The Sinistra Zone was first published in 1992, established Bodor as a major writer and inspired a considerable amount of critical literature in Hungary. The article first gives an overview of the position of The Sinistra Zone in contemporary Hungarian literature and highlights some issues discussed by critics that are relevant for the discussion of the English translation and reception. After reviewing the American reception of the book, Orzóy examines how specific features of Bodor’s prose are rendered in Paul Olchváry’s English translation by discussing some translational choices and analyzing how these choices may modify possible interpretations of the novel. It is also suggested that besides the interpretive potential of the English translation, expectations towards translated novels may be a reason for the divergence of opinion between Hungarian and American reviewers and critics.
Heritage and Repatriation in the History of Habsburg and Hungarian Archives
Authors: Niessen James P.
Published: August 2018

Hungary’s National Library and National Archives seek to collect, as exhaustively as possible, information sources defined as Hungarica: created by, or about, Hungary or Hungarians. Modern archival practice privileges the principle of provenance (the identity of the author or records creator) in determining what an archive should acquire. The Hungarian government’s Mikes Kelemen Program, founded in 2013, builds on earlier efforts for the acquisition of foreign Hungarica publications and manuscripts, defined by the Hungarian identity of the author. But because Hungarians living in the diaspora are not only Hungarian, sensitivity to the heritage and collecting interests of the diaspora host country is recommended.

A study of the quality and biological value of meat of different breeds of rabbit bred in Georgia
Authors: Tavdidishvili Dodo , Khutsidze Tsira , Tsagareishvili David
Published: August 2018

The use of a rabbit meat is a perspective and accessible way of solving the problem of the shortage of domestic meat products in Georgia. Nowadays, there are sufficient on rabbit breeding in the country, but no data are available on the quality and technological properties of rabbit meat. Therefore, of scientific and practical interest is to study the quality indicators, safety, chemical composition and biological value of meat of different breeds of rabbits. The modern, standard, commonly accepted methods of the research have been used in performing this work, which are suitable for accomplishing the set tasks. Statistical processing of the results obtained and the evaluation of the reliability of the obtained data were carried out by the mathematical statistics methods using the Windows IBM SPSS Statistics software program. Based on the study of microbiological indicators of rabbit meat, it has been demonstrated that the number of mesophylic-aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms does not exceed the values established by the sanitary standards and rules, no bacteria of intestinal bacillus and pathogenic microorganisms were detected, including salmonella, which is also is in compliance with the biological and hygienic safety requirements and standards. The safety of rabbit meat is also indicated by a study of its toxicity. It has been established that the breeds of rabbit bred in the country are distinguished by a high meat productivity, high protein and moderate fat contents and low caloric capacity. The biological value of rabbit meat has been determined: it is distinguished by the number of all essential amino acids and the protein-quality index, it does not have limited amino acids, and all essential amino acids scores, especially of lysine, tryptophan and leucine, exceed the "ideal protein" score. The level of satisfaction of human daily needs is also high with amino acids. The resulting data point to the high quality and biological value of the meat of rabbits bred in Georgia, and made it reasonable to use as raw material for domestic high-quality meat production.

Published: August 2018

The aim of this research was to monitor selected quality parameters of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) - the loss of egg weight, changing yolk and white index, Haugh units, egg yolks color. Quail eggs were stored for 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks at 4 °C. The weight of the quail eggs ranged from 11.67 to 12.27 g. The ratio of the shell range 7.60 to 8.16 % (resp. 0.89 - 0.96 g), ratio of egg white from 59.33 to 62.10 % (resp. 6.31 - 6.66 g) and a ratio yolk of 30.13 - 32.88 % (resp. 3.68 - 3.91 g). The lost of egg weight ranged from 0.47 to 2.93 % during the quail eggs storage, corresponding to a weight loss of 0.26 - 0.58 g of the total weight of the eggs. The average values of the yolk index ranged from 42.67 - 48.53 % and the average values of the quail egg white index ranged from 6.77 to 11.35 %. The average Haugh units were set between 56.93 and 73.72. The color of quail egg yolk was determined using the La Roche scale with the most frequent value 3. During the quail eggs storage, a statistically significant difference was found with most of the quality traits observed.
The effect of explant, BAP and 2,4-D on callus induction of Trachyspermum ammi
Authors: Fazeli-Nasab Bahman
Published: August 2018

Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) has been considered as an important medicinal plant because it contains many alkaloids such as Thymol. In vitro culture of Ajowan provides new tissue sources such as callus, cell suspension and seedlings to produce secondary metabolites. The present study describes callus production optimization procedures experiment that was a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design at three levels with four explants (root, shoot, leaf and cotyledon) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg.L-1) and 2,4-D (2, 4 and 8 mg.L-1). Comparison of means showed that the maximum callus production was obtained from shoot explants, the cotyledon and leaf explants were in the second orders. In overall, 0.25 mg.L-1 BAP with 2 mg.L-1 2,4-D concentrations proved to be optimal for the production of maximum callus and also were more effect on callus weight, callus volume and callus color. The best explant based on callus weight was cotyledon explant and for callus volume was shoot explant. The result were shown that the effective hormone combination and explant was 2 mg.L-1 2,4-D with 0.25 mg.L-1 BAP concentrations were more effect on callus induction and shoot explant, respectively.
Relationship between viscosity and sugar content of must during ripening period of grapes
Authors: Kumbár Vojtěch , Lampí­ř Lubomí­r , Ondruší­ková Sylvie
Published: August 2018

The relationship between dynamic viscosity and sugar content of the must is important indicator during the ripening of the vine grapes. For the experiment were selected and used only grape vine varieties. The grape vine varieties are divided into blue and white. The varieties of Blaufränkisch, Blauer Portugieser, and Cabernet Moravia were used in the blue varieties. Representatives of the white varieties were used Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon. Country of origin was the Czech Republic, wine region Moravia (sub-region Slovácko). The grapes were collected and analyzed four times week after week during their ripening period. After grapes harvesting the individual berries were cut out of grape using the scalpel. These berries were then weighed and then the must was squeezed using a mechanical presser. Weight of berries, dynamic viscosity (in shear strain rate 100 s-1), sugar content, and density of must were measured and evaluated. From the values of berries weight it can be observed the variations in weight depending especially on the weather change - the water content in the berries. The observed sugar content did not change a lot during maturity, which can be explained by a more mature phase of the grapes. The results of viscosity and sugar content (for all varieties) demonstrate the viscosity dependence on the sugar content of must - with increasing viscosity of the must the sugar content of the must increase and conversely. The knowledge of the physico-mechanical properties os wine must is very important for for technocologists, producers, but also wine consumers.
SyMiLa and the Atlas linguistique de la France: A tool for the study of Gallo-Romance syntax
Authors: Dagnac Anne
Published: August 2018

This paper presents different ways in which the Gallo-Romance data of the Atlas linguistique de la France (ALF) can contribute to syntactic description, typology and analysis. After briefly presenting the SyMiLa project, which aims at making such data accessible, it presents four case-studies. The first one focuses on wh-questions, which provide a horizontal perspective over the whole Gallo-Romance varieties. The complete data set shows how the dominant wh-structures distribute over the Gallo-Romance domain, and how the rarer ones argue for an articulated CP where que ‘that’ stands in Fin, and for a compositional nature of est-ce que. The next section turns to a vertical perspective on the data: it focuses on a very local phenomenon, complementizer doubling, and shows how the ALF reveals an optional but consistent behavior, which adds evidence to a head-movement analysis and suggests that complementizer doubling and recomplementation correspond to two different configurations. The last section deals with isolated data, that could not per se lead to any clear syntactic claim. Anecdotal and unsystematic as they may seem in the atlas, these data signal structures that, as further research shows, can enrich and/or challenge previous generalizations on interrogative clause typing and Negative Concord, respectively. In the latter case, they call for typologies and analyses of Negative Concord that include both optional concord and partial concord.
Uma revisão crítica da antropologia de Carmen Junqueira
Authors: Laurindo Teodorescu Lindinalva
Published: August 2018

O artigo faz uma revisão crítica da antropologia produzida pela antropóloga Carmen Junqueira, junto ao povo Kamaiurá, do alto Xingu, ao longo de cinquenta anos de pesquisa. Entre as publicações selecionadas para análise, foram retidos quatro temas que são recorrentes em suas pesquisas e que constituem o cerne de sua antropologia. São eles: 1) a composição do universo Kamaiurá (as formas de produção, parentesco e relações de poder, a generosidade ostentada e o sacrifício do líder, mudanças e interação grupal entre os povos do alto Xingu, política protecionista e deslocamento de poder na aldeia de Ipavu e os ritos como fundamento do sistema social); 2) o espaço das mulheres nas sociedades indígenas (as narrativas míticas e a situação das mulheres); 3) o imaginário e o simbólico na configuração do tempo Kamaiurá; 4) o mundo animal e o mundo humano ou a relação natureza e cultura. Neste último item, foi feita uma tentativa de comparação entre a antropologia de Carmen Junqueira e a perspectiva que dá conta da composição do universo indígena, em termos de pluralidade de mundos, como o modelo desenvolvido por Philippe Descola e Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.  Abstract: This article reviews the anthropology produced by the anthropologist Carmen Junqueira, around the Kamaiurá people of the upper Xingu, over fifty years of research. Among the publications selected for analysis four themes were retained that are recurrent in her research and which constitute the core of her anthropology. They are: 1) the composition of the Kamaiurá universe (the forms of production, kinship and power relations, the leader´s bounty and sacrifice, changes and group interaction among the upper Xingu peoples, protectionist politics and power displacement in the village of Ipavu and rites as the foundation of the social system); 2) the space of women in indigenous societies (the mythical narratives and the situation of women); 3) the imaginary and the symbolic in the configuration of Kamaiurá time; 4) the animal world and the human world or the relation between nature and culture. In this last item, an attempt was made to compare the anthropology of Carmen Junqueira with the perspective that accounts for the composition of the indigenous universe in terms of a plurality of worlds, such as the model developed by Philippe Descola and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.
A coluna “Chronica da Moda” de Mariana Coelho: educação e emancipação feminina em debate (Curitiba - 1901) / Mariana Coelho’s column Chronica da Moda: feminine education and emancipation under discussion (Curitiba - 1901)
Authors: Bueno Alexandra Padilha
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo é parte de estudos realizados no campo da História da Educação, com ênfase na história intelectual, e das mulheres que se propuseram a analisar a trajetória de Mariana Coelho (1874-1954), intelectual, feminista e educadora portuguesa que chegou ao Paraná em 1893. Ela morou em Curitiba e, nessa capital, manteve-se atuante até1940. Nesse período, além de colaborar em diversos periódicos da imprensa local, produziu e publicou seis livros. Como recorte para este artigo, optou-se por analisar a coluna mensal Chronica da Moda, publicada por Coelho no jornal curitibano Diário da Tarde. Embora a coluna tratasse de assuntos considerados femininos – naquele contexto – Mariana Coelho utilizou o espaço que lhe foi concedido para debater o feminismo, os direitos da mulher, sua condição diante da profissionalização e presença na cena pública, bem como a relevância de sua educação para ocupação desse novo espaço social. Como fontes, privilegiou-se, para uso neste artigo, as colunas que foram publicadas em 1901, visto que, nelas Coelho defendia publicamente o voto feminino e o feminismo, o que lhe colocou em um embate público com outros intelectuais paranaenses do período. Do ponto de vista teórico, o artigo aborda o conceito de intelectual de Carlos Eduardo Vieira, os conceitos de trajetória, campo e capital de Pierre Bourdieu e redes de sociabilidade de Jean-François Sirinelli.* * *This article is part of studies conducted in the field of the History of Education with focus on intellectual history and women’s history that proposed the analysis of Mariana Coelho (1874-1954), intellectual, feminist and Portuguese educator’s trajectory, who arrived in the state of Paraná in 1893. Coelho lived in Curitiba, and stayed active until the 1940s. In that period, in addition to her collaboration in many local press’s journals, Coelho produced and published six books. As passage for this article, it was decided to analyze the biweekly column Chronica da Moda, published by Coelho in the Curitiba’s newspaper Diário da Tarde. While the column addressed subjects considered feminists – in that context – Mariana Coelho used the space given to her to discuss feminism, women’s rights, women’s conditions in the face of professionalization and public presence, as well as the relevance of women’s education to occupy this new social environment. Columns published in 1901 were used as references for this article, since, in those Coelho publically defended women’s rights to vote and feminism, which placed her in a public debate with other intellectuals of the time. From a theoretical point of view, this article approaches Carlos Eduardo Vieira’s intellectual concept, Pierre Bourdieu’s trajectory, field and capital concepts, and Jean-François Sirinelli‘s sociability network.
História do Brasil como saber escolar nos livros didáticos dos exames de admissão ao Ginásio (1931-1971) / History of Brazil as school knowledge in the textbooks of middle school entrance exams (1931-1971)
Authors: Silva Cristiani Bereta da
Published: August 2018

Neste artigo analisa-se a constituição da história do Brasil como saber escolar em dois livros didáticos usados nos estudos preparatórios para os exames de admissão ao ginásio. Destinados a estudantes e professores, os livros Programa de Admissão (Cia. Editora Nacional) e Admissão ao Ginásio (Editora do Brasil S/A) tiveram dezenas de edições e milhares de tiragens. Ambos aparecem como índices de memória em muitas narrativas orais e escritas de pessoas que estudaram e/ou atuaram como docentes nas décadas de 1930 a 1970. Parte-se do pressuposto que os dispositivos de funcionamento desses exames provocaram mudanças tanto na organização do currículo quanto nas finalidades de cada disciplina selecionada para os testes. Certamente, as escolhas dos conteúdos, feitas pela instituição de ensino secundário – a partir dos programas oficiais – contribuíram para reorganizar os saberes escolares também no primário, haja vista a necessidade de preparação para os exames realizada tanto no ensino regular quanto em cursinhos ministrados para preparar as crianças – aquelas que podiam pagar – para os exames. Nesse exercício serão mobilizadas, principalmente, as categorias de cultura escolar e cultura histórica, bem como o conceito de representação. Acredita-se que a investigação e o estudo desses manuais didáticos sejam capazes de contribuir para a inteligibilidade não apenas dos processos de constituição e de consolidação da história do Brasil como saber escolar, mas principalmente as variadas formas de sua difusão e apropriação, no passado. * * *The present article aims at analyzing the construction of Brazilian history as school knowledge in two textbooks used in preliminary studies for middle school entrance exams. Designed for students and teachers the textbooks of the Admission Program (Cia. Editora Nacional) and Middle School Admission (Editora do Brasil S/A) had dozens of editions and thousands of runs. Both books appear in many oral and written recollections of students and teachers between the 1930s and 1970s. We begin by assuming that the exams' working devices incited changes both in the curricular structure and in the functions of each subject selected for the exams. The subjects chosen by the secondary education institutions – following official regulations – surely contributed to reorganize school knowledge as early as primary education, considering students' need to prepare for the exams, both in regular education and, for those who could afford them, private preparatory courses.  To conduct such an exercise, the categories of educational and historical culture, as well as the concept of representation, will be employed. We believe that researching and studying these textbooks can contribute to an understanding of not just constitution and reinforcement processes of Brazilian history as school knowledge, but mainly of the many forms of its diffusion and appropriation in the past.
Digitization and Financial Reporting – How Technology Innovation May Drive the Shift toward Continuous Accounting
Authors: Stein Smith Sean
Published: August 2018

Technological forces, including but not limited to blockchain and artificial intelligence platforms, are driving change not only in the accounting profession, but business at large. In a business environment where data is produced nearly continuously, and stakeholder groups expect an increasing variety of information, current accounting processes do not appear sufficient. This research examines and applies current market forces, linked to both technology, including an analysis of both blockchain and artificial intelligence, and the increased influence of stakeholders on the reporting process, to do the following. First, an analysis of items to consider and review as the shift toward more continuous accounting and reporting begins is postulated. Second, and arguably more important for the combined practitioner and academic audience this research is intended for, implications and applications of more continuous accounting are put forth to assist as individuals and organizations embrace this transformative process.
Peroneal nerve palsy caused by a synovial cyst of the proximal tibiofibular joint: A case report
Authors: Kruspi Swantje M. , Dietrich Michael
Published: August 2018

Peroneal nerve entrapment is the most common entrapment found in the lower limb, even though nerve palsy caused by a synovial cyst of the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) is a very rare condition. We report the case of a 54-year-old man who developed sudden onset of an incomplete foot droop and therefore presented himself to the emergency room. Further examination showed a compression of the peroneal nerve provoked by a synovial cyst of the PTFJ. Treatment involved puncture of the cyst. The patient showed a complete and fast recovery. We discuss our case with regards to the recent literatures.
Wiki as a Tool in Teaching Translation: An Online Peer-Assessment Model of Evaluation
Authors: Parvizi Gholam-Reza
Published: August 2018

The complexities of the real professional world the trainee translators are to enter requires the utilization of the large scale instruction, flexibility and highly facilitated and interactive learning that online learning and its associated facilities put at our disposal within an instructional design. This paper is an attempt to investigate the effect of incorporating wiki (an asynchronous text-based online collaborative tool) in a web-based social constructivist specialized translator training workshop on trainee translators’ performance in comparison with conventional contact classrooms applying the same instructional framework. An experimental research methodology was utilized to answer the research question and test the hypothesis. The results revealed that using such a collaborative tool as wiki in the translator training workshop had improved the performance of future translators as a consequence of more developed translation and translator competences when compared with the conventional contact classroom.
