Leer en igualdad: una aproximación a los requisitos de los textos
Authors: Peña Jiménez Palma , Gomes-Franco e Silva Flávia
Published: February 2020

Presentamos en este estudio la necesidad de incluir entre los criterios de selección de lecturas, textos adecuados que respeten las diferencias culturales, personales, contrarios a la violencia y alejados de los estereotipos sexistas. Los educadores de la etapa obligatoria deben tener presente, a la hora de trabajar en el aula, la importancia de realizar una selección de textos de lectura que cumpla con los requisitos de respeto, dignidad e igualdad de derechos y oportunidades para todos. Para ello, proponemos una aproximación a los requisitos de estos textos con base, por un lado, en teorías que contemplan el poder perfomativo de las palabras, partiendo de los actos de habla y la conciencia respecto a los efectos que pueden producir los mensajes según la intencionalidad del emisor al elegir ciertos términos en lugar de otros. Se reconoce la complejidad del proceso comunicativo, incidiendo en el hecho de que el lenguaje, herramienta empleada a menudo en la transmisión de valores, no es inocuo. Por otro lado, se realiza una revisión de la legislación vigente en materia de igualdad y educación en valores.
Effectiveness of structured handouts lectures and oral discussion on the performance of science students in the basic biochemistry course
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed
Published: February 2020

The
aim of this article was to investigate the effect of structured handouts
lectures and oral discussions on the academic performance of biochemistry
students. The biochemistry course of science Bachelor students was implemented through structured handouts
lectures using the lecturer and the mobile as information sources , oral
discussions and practical sessions. The opinion of the students about the
instruction methods was investigated through a questionnaire. The academic
performance of the students was compared to the performance of a previous
student batch who studied the course through traditional lectures and practical
sessions only. The obtained results were analyzed using the SPSS program and
the t-test percent. According to the university regulations the pass mark was
set as 60. 85.9% was the percentage of pass students who studied the course
through the structured handouts , oral discussion and practical session while
the percentage of the pass students who studied the course through traditional
lectures and practical sessions was 78.8%. However, the difference between the
two percentages was insignificant (p- value= 0.25). The questionnaire analysis
showed that 63.2% of the students believed that the structured handouts
lectures and the oral discussions were excellent and 79.4% of the students
advised the course coordinator to adopt this teaching method for the future
batches. structured handouts lectures and oral discussions improved the
performance of biochemistry students and they advised to adopt the method for
future batches of biochemistry.

Goats follow human pointing gestures in an object choice task
Authors: Nawroth Christian , Martin Zoe , McElligott Alan G.
Published: February 2020

Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are extremely adept in interpreting human-given cues, such as the pointing gesture. However, the underlying mechanisms on how domestic non-companion species use these cues are not well understood. We investigated the use of human-given pointing gestures by goats (Capra hircus) in an object-choice task, where an experimenter surreptitiously hid food in one of two buckets. Subjects first had to pass a pre-test where the experimenter indicated the location of the food to the subject by a proximal pointing gesture. Subjects that succeeded in the use of this gesture were transferred to the actual test. In these subsequent test trials, the experimenter indicated the location of the food to the subject by using three different pointing gestures: proximal pointing from a middle position (distance between target and index finger: 30 cm), crossed pointing from the middle position (distance between target and index finger: 40 cm), asymmetric pointing from the position of the non-baited bucket (distance between target and index finger: 90 cm). Goats succeeded in the pointing gestures that presented an element of proximity (proximal and crossed) compared to when the experimenter was further away from the rewarded location (asymmetric). This indicates that goats can generalise their use of the human pointing gesture but might rely on stimulus/local enhancement rather than referential information. In addition, goats did not improve their responses over time, indicating that no learning took place. The results provide a greater understanding of human-animal interactions and social-cognitive abilities of livestock, which allows for the provision of enhanced management practices and welfare conditions.
kristologi biblika
Authors: butarbutar marlon
Published: February 2020

Kristologi adalah merupakan pokok terpenting dalam ajaran iman Kristen. Kristologi juga bisa disebut sebagai pusat kekristenan itu sendiri, dengan itu kristologi adalah pusat dari ilmu theologia. Karenanya mempelajari Pribadi dan karya Kristus, berarti sedang berada pada pusat theologi Kristen. Yesus Kristuslah yang memberikan identitas kepada kekristenan, yang sekaligus membedakannya dari agama atau kepercayaan yang lain. Keistimewaan doktrin ini terletak dalam pribadi dan karya Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan yang menjadi finalitas jalan menuju kepada keselamatan yang kekal.Pemahaman yang benar terhadap doktrin kristologi tidak lepas dari pengetahuan yang sehat terhadap Alkitab, sebab Alkitablah satu-satunya sumber utama yang dengan jujur dan terbuka memberikan kesaksian mengenai pribadi Yesus sebagai juruselamat dunia. Memang realita historis tulisan-tulisan di dalam Alkitab itu ditulis oleh manusia, akan tetapi proses penulisannya diilhami oleh Allah melalui pimpinan Roh Kudus sehingga apa yang diucapkan atau ditulis sesuai dengan kehendak Tuhan (bnd. 2Tim 3:16). Alkitab secara keseluruhan dipercaya dengan akurat dalam mengambarkan Yesus Kristus. Akan tetapi dalam prosesnya banyak ditemukan bahwa kristologi yang dihasilkan bertentangan dengan Alkitab. Sejarah membuktikan bahwa gereja selalu berhadapan dengan pengajaran-pengajaran sesat yang menyerang gereja dari dalam. dalam ini berbentuk ajaran-ajaran (doktrin) yang menyesatkan atau bidat-bidat yang menyelewengkan ajaran murni Alkitab. Bahaya ajaran-ajaran sesat ini tidak saja timbul pada abad-abad belakangan ini, melainkan sudah ada sejak gereja didirikan. Karenanya penulis hendak menguraikan kristologi yang akan menjadi dasar apologetika di era postmodern sekarang ini.

Optimal implementation of frequency domain impedances in time domain simulations of building structures on embedded foundations
Authors: Kusanovic Danilo S. , Seylabi Elnaz E. , Asimaki Domniki
Published: February 2020

Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) have been studied the last decades, and proper analysis for the linear elastic case in frequency domain has been established successfully. However, SSI is rarely considered in the seismic design of building structures. Regardless of its importance as a significant source of flexibility and energy dissipation, buildings are analyzed using a rigid base assumption, and the design is based on a response spectrum analysis, for which not only the soil, but also time are totally ignored. In a first attempt to improve and to incentivize time domain analyzes compatible with standard finite element packages for the engineering community, the state-of-practice introduces two major simplifications to transform the frequency domain analysis into a time domain analysis: (a) it assumes the frequency at which the impedance value should be read is the flexible-base frequency, and (b) it also assumes that the foundation input motion preserves the phase of the free field motion. Upon these simplifications, the following questions may arise: How does NIST recommendations perform in overall against a full finite element model? Are the embedment effects for shallow foundation not important so that the phase angle can be neglected? What is the best dimensionless frequency to estimate the soil impedance? Is it possible to make a better estimation of the dimensionless frequency to increase the NIST accuracy? In this study, we attempt to address these questions by using an inverse problem formulation.
Framing Effects of Corporate Action on Climate Change: Implications for Consumer Attitudes and Behaviour
Authors: Martin Matthew , Rae Jayden , Krastev Sekoul , Struck Brooke , Pilat Dan
Published: February 2020

This study looked at the effects of framing on the public perception of corporate environmental compliance and government policy, closely mirroring the policy design of the Federal backstop of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change. There were three key findings. First, companies that simply pay their taxes as a penalty for emissions (“merely complying” with the policy) are considered to be less moral, to have less-acceptable practices and to be harming the environment. Alternatively, companies that invest to decrease their carbon footprint (“proactively engaging” with the policy) are more likely to be perceived as acting morally, having acceptable practices and helping the environment. Secondly, consumers were more willing to bring their business to proactive companies rather than the ones that were strictly complying. Finally, the response of companies also had an effect on citizens’ perception of the policy itself. If companies were engaging proactively rather than merely complying, consumers were more likely to view the carbon pricing policy as fair, to support the political party that implemented it, to ratethe policy as helping the environment, to rate it as helping Canada’s image and reflecting Canadian values, and to rate the policy as helping the economy. There are key implications for both industry and government stakeholders to draw from these findings. For industry, communicating proactive policy engagement improves public image and increases consumer support. For the government, communicating to industry the positive benefits—environmental, economic and social—of proactive engagement could increase overall private-sector engagement and thereby improve the public’s perception of the policy itself. Overall, this suggests that adherencewith and support for carbon pricing policies is a promising opportunity for the private sector to signal their environmental and social commitments.
Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity Is Linked to Numerosity Discrimination in Children and Adults
Authors: Ben-Shachar Mattan S. , Lisson Svetlana , Shotts-Peretz Dalit , Hannula-Sormunen Minna , Berger Andrea
Published: February 2020

Spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) is the tendency to spontaneously address exact numerosity in the environment without prompting. While previous studies have found children’s SFON to be a stable, domain-specific predictor of mathematical abilities throughout development, it is unclear whether SFON reflects individual differences in quantitative processing. This study examined the relationship between SFON and the acuity of the Approximate Number System (ANS) in children and adults. To measure adults’ SFON, we developed a numerosity bias task (NBT). In children and adults, better ANS acuity was related to higher tendency to spontaneously focus on numerosity. Additionally, in adults, SFON was related to higher mathematical academic achievements. These findings suggest an interplay between SFON and ANS acuity, indicating a mechanism where increased ANS acuity makes numerosity elements in the environment more salient, while early self-initiated numerical practice promotes fine-tuning of the ANS. Possible implications of these reciprocal developmental pathways are discussed.

From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) than adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet, IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multi-site study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic experience on infants’ IDS preference. As part of the multi-lab ManyBabies 1 project, we compared lab-matched samples of 333 bilingual and 385 monolingual infants’ preference for North-American English IDS (cf. ManyBabies Consortium, 2020 (ManyBabies 1)), tested in 17 labs in 7 countries. Those infants were tested in two age groups: 6–9 months (the younger sample) and 12–15 months (the older sample). We found that bilingual and monolingual infants both preferred IDS to ADS, and did not differ in terms of the overall magnitude of this preference. However, amongst bilingual infants who were acquiring North-American English (NAE) as a native language, greater exposure to NAE was associated with a stronger IDS preference, extending the previous finding from ManyBabies 1 that monolinguals learning NAE as a native language showed a stronger preference than infants unexposed to NAE. Together, our findings indicate that IDS preference likely makes a similar contribution to monolingual and bilingual development, and that infants are exquisitely sensitive to the nature and frequency of different types of language input in their early environments.
Consumers’ willingness to pay for plants protected by beneficial insects—Evidence from two stated-choice experiments with different subject pools
Authors: Lehberger Mira , Gruener Sven
Published: February 2020

We investigate consumers’ willingness to pay for edible and non-edible plants protected by beneficial insects and those protected by pesticides, respectively, as well as the influence of message framing on willingness to pay. We use basil, heather, and orchids as experimental objects in two stated-choice experiments (a lab-in-the-field experiment and an online experiment) conducted in Germany. In both experiments, we find strong evidence that consumers prefer plants protected by beneficial insects. Moreover, we find that message framing affects consumers’ willingness to pay, where gain framing produces greater overall willingness to pay. To check for the robustness of our results, we implemented instruments to mitigate concerns for social desirability and hypothetical bias, finding that our results are robust in terms of our key findings. This is the first comprehensive experimental study specifically on consumer’s willingness to pay for plants protected by beneficial insects. Our findings are valuable for practitioners, as the use of beneficial insects in greenhouse production is already rather common. Following our results, this information could be successfully used for marketing purposes.
The Consequences of Political Identity for a Democratic System
Authors: Sahabi Omen , Nacho Ilya
Published: February 2020

In today's political climate, there appears to be a greater focus on what would be good for people who belong to a particular gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. As a result of this, what would benefit people in general no longer has the same level of importance. An Obsession, It wouldn't be accurate to say that this is something that relates to people on both sides of the political spectrum, though. This is something that someone is more likely to be on board with if they are on the left. However, as the horseshoe theory points out; the further someone goes on either side of the spectrum, the closer their views will be. When this takes places, what someone on the far-left says might sound different to what someone on the far-right comes out with, but that will be about as far as it will go. In Group Preference, One way of looking at the lefts obsession with identity politics would be to say that this is a form of tribalism. There is then no reason for someone from one group to assimilate with the members of another group. Also, by putting everyone into different groups, it makes it a lot harder for people to put their differences aside. In order for this to happen, people need to focus on what they have in common and not on what separates them from others. Two Groups, When someone has bought into this way of looking at the world, there will be people who oppress others and then there will be the people who are oppressed by others. This is something that is completely black and white. The biggest oppressors are often said to be white men, and this means that just about everything one else is kept down by these people. White women, on the other hand, are also seen as being oppressed, but they are still seen as having it easier than women who are not white. Taken To the Extreme Consequently, there are a number of people who believe that all the problems in the world would disappear is white men were removed from the planet. Ironically, this approach has a lot in common with how those on the far-right think- especially white supremacists.
Evaluation of Fasting Capillary Glucose and Fasting Plasma Glucose as Screening Tests for Diabetes and Prediabetes among Adults in a Semi-Urban Area in the Kathmandu District, Nepal

Published: February 2020

The natural history of type 2 diabetes includes a preceding period of impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance which is referred to as prediabetes. During the asymptomatic phase of prediabetes, an estimated 20-30% of persons may develop complications like retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, neuropathy and nephropathy. Screening and lifestyle management may help to delay or arrest progression to diabetes. In primary care settings, point of care devices that measure glucose in capillary blood can be used for diagnosis of diabetes. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of fasting capillary glucose (FCG) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement in screening for diabetes and prediabetes among adults in a semi-urban community in the Kathmandu district of Nepal. An observational, cross-sectional study design was used and FCG, FPG performance was evaluated by the 2-hour plasma glucose levels (2-hr PG) following Oral glucose tolerance test (75g glucose) using WHO 1998 criteria. Linear regression was performed to assess correlation co-efficient (r) between FPG, FCG and 2 hr PG. Bland Altman plot and Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess concordance, measure ROC AUC and determine sensitivity and specificity of the measurements at recommended cut-off values for identifying diabetes and prediabetes. Among the study participants (n=162), 104 were female and 58 were male. Prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes was 4.32% (95% CI 1.75% to 8.70%) and 7.14% (95% CI 3.89% to 12.58%). Strong positive correlation was seen between FPG and FCG (Spearman’s r 0.67). FPG & FCG had a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.49 & 0.45) with 2 hr PG levels (p<0.0001). FCG and FPG ROC AUC was 0.91 (95% CI 0.85 to 0.97) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.97) in comparison to 0.98 (95% CI 0.97 to 1.0) for the gold standard 2 hr PG. At 110 mg/dl and above, FCG had an optimal sensitivity and specificity of 84.21% and 81.12% in comparison to 47.37% and 100% for FPG. At 100 mg/dl, the sensitivity and specificity of FCG was 100% and 51.75% in comparison to 57.89% and 97.20% for FPG. In conclusion, at each recommended cut-off value, FCG was more sensitive than FPG with no significant difference between ROC AUCs of the two tests. Hence, FCG may be a suitable, sensitive, and convenient screening tool for diabetes and prediabetes in community-based settings. Larger prospective studies may validate the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of similar screening strategies in the Nepalese community.

Published: February 2020

In Nepal the prevalence of hypertension is in increasing trend with an increased number of deaths from heart disease and stroke. The morbidity and mortality from hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases has been associated with high Body mass index (BMI). The current study aimed to study the association between BMI, blood pressure and age of the adults in Makalbari area. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 643 respondents. The information was obtained using self constructed structured questionnaire which included demographic information of individuals. Height, weight and blood pressure were recorded and hypertension was defined as per Joint National Committee (JNC) VII guidelines. Maximum value of mean BMI was found among 40– 49 years age group. BMI was found to be lowest among younger age group. Both the mean systolic and diastolic BP were found to be lowest among the youngest age groups. Mean Systolic BP increased steadily with age and the highest value was found among the oldest age group. Mean Diastolic BP increased with age till 40–49 years and declined thereafter. There was significant (P <0.01) positive correlation of BMI with systolic and diastolic BP. It showed that BP increased with increase in BMI. Correlation coefficient showed that relationship of BMI with systolic BP (0.231) was stronger than diastolic BP (0.167). Thus the present study provides valuable information regarding the association of BMI with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It also showed the correlation of blood pressure with increasing age independently.

The shifting trend of conventional to the electric drivetrain in automotive industries makes batteries become the most favorable energy storage. There are three types of battery cells that are commonly used for electric vehicles i.e., cylindrical cells, pouch cells, and prismatic cells. The use of active material such as lithium-ion in the battery of electric vehicles could bring some issues related to the safety field. For that reason, comprehensive research on battery failure analysis needs to be conducted. This paper reviews the recent progress of the use of battery cells in electric vehicles and some challenges which must be considered to assure their safety. There are a lot of studies on battery failure analysis, which mainly focuses on the appearance of a short circuit as the main cause of the thermal runaway event. Several proposals on predicting short circuits in the battery due to various loading are comprehensively discussed. Those research results can be considered to establish regulations in designing battery protectors.

Published: February 2020

The proposed B-MQKD method uses a quantum key distribution to generate a key and provide an authentication amongst many parties. It uses concepts of block cipher by using RC6 algorithm for encryption. The mix concept in B-MQKD (quantum and block cipher) gives the algorithm more authentication, randomness, and security which make it difficult to find the original message by attackers. In this paper using BB84 among three parties make it possiple to give the key to many users in a secret way.

As a result of the tremendous development of information and communications technology, especially

after the wide spread of the internet, the process of preserving images has become a major and important subject. The

most important method to preserve images is the use of encryption, which aims to ensure the preservation of the

privacy of images and not allowing anyone to tamper with or view them because they are either confidential or very

special. Also, no one can understand the content of those images unless they have a means of encryption.

In this research, a new methods has been applied in images encryption using mutation methods. Different analysis

like correlation coefficient, and histogram analysis is applied for the verification of the performance of the suggested

algorithm. Matlab language has been used to implement the suggested algorithm, because of its efficiency, accuracy

and flexibility in giving results.

The purpose of the article is a brief description of the experience of analyzing the conceptual foun-dations of governance in education and other spheres in post-Soviet Russia in comparison with developed democracies; a description of typical approaches to the implementation (imitation) of strategic planning in management, as well as the consequences and specific traits of contextual, a-strategic management. Conceptual management in education and in the context of others is oppose to contextual management. Modern management concepts are externally presented in Russian education and in other areas of management discourse and practice. The system of professional standards developed in the country is designed to solve a number of managerial tasks. However, the non-conceptual use of professional standards leads to an imbalance in subject-object interaction and in organization in whole. This article lists two categories of workers. Non-compliance with the professional requirements is typical to the first category of workers. Failure to comply with professional standards also take part to the professional, partners and personal deformations. These deformations are illustrated by the text of management strategies. Having strategies is an incentive for development. However, the lack of an algorithm for the compilation and evaluation of such documents, the analysis of the importance of this aspect in the process of evaluating the activities of authorities leads to the fact that this strategic management remains unclaimed in the territorial and organizational management system. The authors consider two leading aspects of the problem of territorial strategization: (1) substantiation of the reasons for poor-quality strategic developments; (2) the search for errors in the conceptual management methodology. The roots of the first problem should be found in the imbalances in the formation and development of the subject of management, starting with the problem of improper selection and de-professionalization of managerial personnel. To solve the second problem, the authors propose SEO analysis tools as a methodology for evaluating strategy texts. This tool solves the problem of audit of regional strategies in the context of administrative, socio-psychological and linguistic aspects of public servants in the field of education. The data obtained can also be disseminated to non-governmental educational institutions: in particular, in additional or global education it is extremely important to know its subject, object, purpose and objectives, etc. Otherwise, as in the case of state educational institutions, imitations will arise that are more likely to harm education and society than support it.

Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND:

Different preferences of the customers and their product judgments have been widely neglected in the literature despite their significant influence on decision-making. Hence, decision-makers must recognize customers’ rating evaluations based on their satisfaction that interact with their different behaviours (quality- and prestige-seeking).

OBJECTIVE:

Our objective was to ascertain the different behaviors of the customers that influence their product judgment in ratings which change the informational role of the ratings.

METHODS:

This study was empirically conducted based on survey results from 20000 mobile phone customers and showed their different behaviours in their rating evaluations by using a non-recursive SPSS model.

RESULTS:

The results of our study reveal that: the rating evaluation of quality-seeking customers is carried out with a higher average rating and a lower variance, for prestige-seeking customers are carried out with a higher average rating and a higher variance. Overall, the variance of ratings distribution varies towards two groups of the customers while their ratings evaluations carried out with similar average ratings, in the context of customers’ rating evaluation and their different behaviour.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study has provided preliminary evidence for different behavioral customer rating evaluations which is crucial in both business owners and potential consumers’ decision-making process.
Testing Hofstede’s 6-D model in the North and Northwest regions of Morocco: Implications for human resource development
Authors: Louahabi Younes , Moustaghfir Karim , Cseh Maria
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND:

Operating in foreign countries implies that organizations need to consider local cultures and adapt their human resource development (HRD) processes to local norms for an optimized performance. Such an adaptation requires the adoption of adequate cultural frameworks as Hofstede’s 6-D Model (Hofstede et al., 2010). A major limitation of Hofstede’s model is the missing consideration for regional and subcultural differences within the same country. Such a limitation may affect the success of HRD initiatives, as undertaken by global companies in a specific context.

OBJECTIVE:

This research intends to test Hofstede’s 6-D Model (Hofstede et al., 2010) at the subcultural level using the case of a multinational company operating in the North and Northwest regions of Morocco, and to provide a critical analysis of this theory as to its applicability in the context of multinational organizations.

METHODS:

A quantitative survey-based study was considered for this research, using the Value Survey Module 2013 (VSM). The sample included the managers and professional workers of the Moroccan subsidiary of a multinational company from various cities in two regions. A descriptive approach was adopted to interpret the main features from the collected data. The collected scores were then treated using SPSS and XLSTAT to conduct the T-test statistical analysis, allowing also for a critical analysis of the subcultural value scores.

RESULTS:

The results of this study show differences between the cultural value dimensions in the subcultures of the North and Northwest of Morocco and the national culture. The comparison of the scores between North and Northwest regions of Morocco and Hofstede’s Moroccan national score following the T-test statistical analysis shows differences between at least four indices in both regions, leading to the conclusion that the regional cultural scores are statistically different from national scores.

CONCLUSIONS:

Given the importance of HRD in contributing to learning and change strategies and the importance of aligning leadership development approaches with the cultural values of multinational organizations, this study provides a further understanding of how subcultures represent important platforms for building contextualized HRD systems that foster managerial effectiveness and performance.
Electrostatic separation motion analysis of machine-harvested cotton and residual film based on CFD

Published: February 2020

A solid model of electrostatic separation between mechanical cotton harvesting and residual plastic film is established. The mechanized harvesting degree has been improved year by year. 90% of the cotton harvesting has been achieved in the southern Xinjiang reclamation area of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. However, there are a lot of impurities in the machine harvesting cotton, and it is difficult to remove them. Machine-picked cotton cleaning is an important part of cotton processing. Its cleaning effect directly affects the processing efficiency and lint quality of cotton. In this paper, a solid model of electrostatic separation between mechanical cotton harvesting and residual plastic film is established. Through CFD method, the particles of mechanical cotton harvesting and residual plastic film fly into the electric field at the speed of 3 m/s, 4 m/s, 5 m/s and 6 m/s respectively, and the movement process of different electric field forces is loaded on the particles, in order to reveal the mechanism of electrostatic separation between mechanical cotton harvesting and residual plastic film. The test results show that with the increase of the speed of cotton picker flying into the electric field area, the shorter the residence time of cotton picker in the electric field area, the electric field force required for the film to be captured by the upper plate will gradually increase; the trajectory of particles in the electric field area has less influence on the airflow, and the inlet airflow velocity is the most important factor affecting the airflow distribution in the box. This study is expected to provide a reference for the application of electrostatic technology in the study of the cleaning process of mechanical cotton picking.
DESORDEM À VISTA: A MÚSICA NAS MEMÓRIAS DE UM SARGENTO DE MILÍCIAS, DE MANUEL ANTÔNIO DE ALMEIDA
Authors: Correia Luiz Filipe , Tuma Said
Published: February 2020

O artigo explora relações entre música e literatura. Apoia-se em pesquisa histórica de natureza interdisciplinar e utiliza, de forma privilegiada, fontes como obras literárias e musicais. Partindo da dialética da malandragem, definida por Antonio Candido (1970), o artigo investiga como a arte dos sons dialoga com essa reflexão. Além da ubiquidade da música nas Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias (1854-55), de Manuel Antônio de Almeida (1831-1861), a reflexão constata que ela age como um vetor que favorece a passagem da ordem para a desordem. Além da retomada do texto de Antonio Candido, o artigo se justifica pela oportunidade de investigação de práticas musicais brasileiras.

Abstrak Munculnya karya sastra lokal di Indonesia akhir-akhir ini secara massif penting untuk direspon. Hal pertama yang perlu dilakukan ialah merumuskan metode penelitian yang sesuai dengan pendekatan dan permasalahan yang dominan muncul dalam karya sastra lokal. Permasalahan tersebut antara lain, narasi budaya lokal dan kearifan lokal yang ditampilkan di dalam karya sastra, serta relasi antara narasi budaya lokal dengan masyarakat, pengarang, dan pembaca. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penulis meyakini bahwa pendekatan klasik M.H Abrams, yang terdiri dari pendekatan objektif, mimetik, ekspresif, dan pragmatik relevan untuk menjawab dan menjelaskan permasalahan. Sementara metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah metode deskripsi analisis dengan langkah kerja sesuai asumsi dari masing-masing 4 pendekatan tersebut. Hal yang penting dalam penelitian sastra lokal ialah penelusuran data melalui sumber pustaka dan wawancara. Data wawancara penting untuk membangun pemahaman mengenai konteks budaya dari masyarakat yang digambarkan oleh karya. Sementara analisis yang penting dilakukan ialah mendeteksi sikap dari karya sastra dalam memandang budayanya sendiri dan budaya lain dalam interaksi budaya. Analisis ini merupakan langkah awal dalam mendeteksi munculnya sikap-sikap negatif dalam tumbuh kembangnya budaya lokal, yakni sikap konservatif dan persaingan budaya yang tidak sehat.
