Políticas de desarrollo rural en la Unión Europea y Latinoamérica: algunas reflexiones para Costa Rica. 1990-2008
Authors: Blanco Obando Edgar Eduardo
Published: July 2019

Con base en la revisión de extensa literatura de políticas públicas, desarrollo rural, estadísticas oficiales y estudios de casos en las regiones de estudio, se presenta el análisis de las principales políticas para el desarrollo rural ejecutadas en la Unión Europea, Latinoamérica y Costa Rica durante 1990-2008, en el marco de la nueva realidad rural producida por la globalización, que llevó a reformar las políticas públicas para atender las necesidades del campo y el surgimiento del modelo territorial para el desarrollo rural. Se evidencia, que en las regiones estudiadas se han aplicado políticas territoriales ascendentes que han provocado desigualdad, y que en Costa Rica al igual que en el resto de América Latina, no lograron resolver el principal problema de las poblaciones rurales: los elevados niveles de pobreza.
Increase of heat utilization coefficient of micro-TPP fuel based on ice with air-cooling due to cogeneration
Authors: Sinelnikov D. S. , Shchinnikov P. A.
Published: July 2019

The market is widely represented by a number of micro HPP (gasoline generators) based on internal combustion engines (ICE) with air cooling. Such setups are used in everyday life, by professional builders, geologists, soldiers and rescuers in the areas of emergencies, and in the regions with lack of infrastructure. Improving the efficiency of such plants will reduce the amount of fuel supplied in the areas of their operation. This paper shows the main provisions of the research technique of the experimental cogeneration heat and power plant on the basis of an air-cooled carburetor combustion engine which is based on the mechanism of energy balances. The working capacity of the technique on various loads of the plant operation is shown. The conditions for determining the effect which consist in bringing the comparable variants to the same energy potential on the output of products are formulated. As comparison variants, it is necessary to consider electric power supply from the gas generator, and heat supply from the heat gun which, in turn, can use gas, liquid fuel or electric power as the primary energy carrier. The basic schemes of realization of cogeneration in the conditions of reduction to the same energy effect are presented. It is shown that the use of cogeneration obtained from heat of air flow cooling the cylinder head for micro HPP based on carbureted ICE with air cooling increases the coefficient of fuel heat utilization () by 1.52 times. The setup with 2.4 kW capacity for 3035 minutes can increase the temperature of the room air in the volume of 150 m3 (for example, in a staff or medical room) by  3C at  = 0.3. It is shown that cogeneration for mini-HPPs on the basis of air-cooled ICE after installation of a special heat exchanger for waste gas heat recovery allows increasing the fuel heat utilization coefficient up to  = 0.5. It is shown that a gasoline generator with cogeneration is more efficient than a gasoline generator in combination with a heat gun and due to fuel cost saving can be renewed every four years.
Estratégias políticas na formação docente: diálogo e interações entre sujeitos, instituições formadoras e sociedade
Authors: Schuchter Lúcia Helena , Bruno Adriana Rocha
Published: July 2019

Este capítulo é um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado, concluida em 2017, que objetivou investigar como se constituíram, historicamente, as políticas públicas de formação docente para o uso das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e da Comunicação na rede municipal de ensino de Juiz de Fora. A investigação é de cunho qualitativo, na abordagem histórico-cultural, respaldada por Vygotsky e Bakhtin e associada ao “ciclo de políticas” (BALL, 1994). A pesquisa defende que, para a constituição e execução das políticas públicas educacionais, é necessária a configuração de uma arquitetônica cíbrida (SCHUCHTER, 2017). Os “contextos do ciclo das políticas” (BALL, 1994) precisam se reconhecer como instâncias corresponsáveis pela melhoria na educação.

Briefing: An experimental procedure to assess the erosional behaviour of cohesionless soils
Authors: Haouzi Fatima Zahra , Esnault-Filet Annette , Courcelles Benoit
Published: July 2019

Selective erosion of fine particles from granular soils can affect the draining properties of hydraulic structures with time, and it is important to identify unstable soils and characterise their hydraulic and erosional behaviour. To this end, this study focuses on the design and set-up of a new laboratory device for testing the suffusion and piping phenomenon occurring in an internally unstable cohesionless material. The proposed procedure offers the possibility of quantifying the hydraulic gradient at which erosion starts and evaluates the mass of fine particles washed out of the sample under controlled hydraulic conditions. The quantity of eroded particles, the exit water flow rate and the hydraulic gradient distribution along the flow paths are also measured during the process. The procedure was tested on an erosive soil under saturated conditions and under unconfined seepage, allowing the assessment of the hydraulic behaviour of this internally unstable material.
Clinical evaluation of young adult patients with ischemic stroke applying to emergency department
Authors: YAVAŞİ Özcan , GÜNDOĞDU Ömer Lütfi
Published: July 2019

Objective:
Ischemic stroke in
young adults constitutes about 10-15% of all strokes. It is also a serious
socioeconomic burden since it leaves these young adults disabled at their most
productive years. For this reason, it is necessary to investigate underlying
causes in order to identify and prevent the disease. The purpose of our study was
to compare causes and outcomes of ischemic stroke at young age with the results
available in the literature. Methods: The study retrospectively
covers patients aged 18 to 50 diagnosed with ischemic stroke between 2014 and
2017 years. Age, gender, emergency department complaints, neurological findings
detected on physical examination, and comorbid diseases which were risk factors
for stroke were recorded for all patients. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke
Treatment (TOAST) classification was used for identification of stroke
subtypes. Hospital
outcomes were assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Pearson
Chi-square test was used to compare the groups. p <0.05 was assumed for
statistical significance.Results: A total of 87 patients who satisfied
inclusion criteria, 34 female (39.1%) and 53 male (60.9%), were included in the
study. Mean age of the patients was 44.41 ± 6.96 (range 18-50). The highest
risk factors were hypertension (55.2%) and dyslipidemia (52.9). When assessed
according to TOAST criteria, the most frequently detected subtype was
cardioembolic (28.7%). When we looked at the mRS scores,
54% of the patients were completely cured.

Conclusion: Since it threatens youngs and
productive population, identification of etiologies and taking precautions
before stroke development is the most effective way to fight the disease. Racial
differences require every nation to conduct a detailed research.

Despite the increasing importance of U.S. CLOs, information on the holders of U.S. CLO securities is very limited. This note provides a breakdown of CLO investors by location and investor type using data from the Treasury International Capital (TIC) system. We find that most U.S. CLOs are held by U.S. investors and that the holdings are concentrated in insurance companies, mutual funds, and depository institutions.
Corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere
Authors: Janse van Rensburg Darelle T. , Cornish Lesley A. , Van der Merwe Josias
Published: July 2019

The first atmospheric corrosion map of South Africa, produced by Callaghan in 1991, has become outdated, because it primarily focuses on the corrosivity of coastal environments, with little differentiation given concerning South Africa’s inland locations. To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 μm/a [95% CI: 18–23 μm/a]. The minimum inland figure was about 1.3 μm/a (recorded at Droërivier in the Central Karoo) and the maxima were approximately 51 μm/a and 50 μm/a in the industrial hearts of Germiston (Gauteng) and Sasolburg (Free State), respectively. The variability in the corrosion rate of mild steel also decreased by as much as 80% between 150 m and 1000 m from the coastline. Moreover, the impact of changing altitude on the corrosivity of the environment was confirmed, particularly along the coastal regions.
Significance:

A new corrosion map of South Africa’s inland and coastal regions is presented.
The map facilitates the identification of South Africa’s least to most corrosive environments; enabling the selection of more appropriate corrosion protection solutions for general, business, mining and industrial installations.
In identifying South Africa’s least corrosive areas, the use of more environmentally friendly corrosion protection procedures is potentially encouraged.
Biodegradability and kinetic studies on biomethane production from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) waste
Authors: Ugwu Samson N. , Enweremadu Christopher C.
Published: July 2019

Emerging from the energy crisis of 2008 in South Africa, climate change concerns and the global desire to reduce high ozone-depleting emissions, renewable energy sources like biogas are gaining wide acceptance in most localities for heating and electricity. The paucity of feedstock varieties is a major challenge plaguing the sustainability of this sector. Biomethane potential, biodegradability and degradation kinetics of organic substrates are essential for assessing the suitability of feedstocks for methane generation and the overall performance of the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants. Waste from the vegetable okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a novel substrate; its biodegradability and degradation dynamics in biomethane production are largely unstudied, and were therefore the aims of this research. The substrate was digested for 25 days at the mesophilic condition and the biomethane potential data were recorded. Measured data of methane yield and the elemental composition of the substrate were used to fit five models (modified Gompertz, Stannard, transference function, logistic and first-order models) to predict degradation parameters and determine biodegradability of the substrate, respectively. Low lag phase (0.143 d), positive kinetic constant (0.2994/d) and the model fitness indicator (<10) showed that transference and first-order kinetic models predicted the methane yield better than did other growth functions. The experimental methane yield was 270.98 mL/gVS, theoretical methane yields were 444.48 mL/gVS and 342.06 mL/gVS and model simulation ranged from 267.5 mL/gVS to 270.89 mL/gVS. With a prediction difference of 0.03–1.28%, all growth functions acceptably predicted the kinetics of A. esculentus waste. The findings of this study offer information on this novel substrate important for its use in large-scale biogas production.
Significance:

Growing interest in biogas technology as an alternative energy source for both South African rural dwellers and industries, has mounted enormous pressure on known feedstocks, and instigated the search for novel substrates.
Our study shows that okra waste is a viable feedstock for biogas production.
The suitability of the first-order kinetic model over other models in predicting okra waste degradation was highlighted.
A 20-year evaluation of PLAAS research outputs: Impact on the scholarly domain and in social media
Authors: Kerchhoff Gillian , Kahn Michelle , Nassimbeni Mary
Published: July 2019

Patterns and methods of scholarly communication have changed with the growth in information technology, particularly the Internet and the social web. The changes have necessitated a broader definition of scholarly communication and the role of social media in the research process. We sought to record the body of work that the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), a research institute at the University of the Western Cape, produced over a 20-year period (1995–2015) – the first two decades of its existence – and to measure its visibility and impact using bibliometrics and altmetrics. A survey was also carried out to investigate to what extent PLAAS researchers knew and used social media in their research practice. Scopus and Google Scholar were used as citation indices and Altmetric.com provided Altmetric scores – a measure of impact through social and mainstream media. The full list of PLAAS outputs showed a composition of 54% grey literature and 46% journal articles and monographs. Given that over half of PLAAS research outputs were in the form of grey literature, and therefore not indexed in traditional bibliometric databases, we suggest that alternative metrics be used in conjunction with bibliometrics, to measure the impact of a body of work on the scholarly domain. Although the bibliometrics in this study were a useful quantitative indicator of the impact of PLAAS research, this study was inconclusive with regard to determining the impact of the research output via altmetrics, partly because not any of the grey literature, nor any author from PLAAS, had a unique identifier, thus making it difficult to track and find quantitative indicators. Nonetheless, the potential benefit for PLAAS of using altmetrics was demonstrated in selected case studies of the output of three PLAAS researchers active on social media platforms.
Significance:

This study demonstrates that the use of bibliometric and altmetric analyses can yield a rich picture of research output and significance, providing insight into the patterns of scholarly communication of research and policy institutions.
The application of the research design in other research units and departments could generate results that are useful to research management within those institutions.
Transition to open: A metrics analysis of discoverability and accessibility of LIS scholarship
Authors: Raju Jaya , Mfengu Andiswa , Kahn Michelle , Raju Reggie
Published: July 2019

Metrics analysis of journal content has become an important point for debate and discussion in research and in higher education. The South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science (SAJLIS), a premier journal in the library and information science (LIS) field in South Africa, in its 85-year history, has had multiple editors and many contributing authors and has published over 80 volumes and 160 issues on a diversity of topics reflective of LIS theory, policy and practice. However, how discoverable and accessible has the LIS scholarship carried by the Journal been to its intended readership? SAJLIS transitioned to open access in 2012 and this new format in scholarly communication impacted the Journal significantly. The purpose of this paper is to report on a multiple metrics analysis of discoverability and accessibility of LIS scholarship via SAJLIS from 2012 to 2017. The inquiry takes a quantitative approach within a post-positivist paradigm involving computer-generated numerical data as well as manual data mining for extraction of qualitative elements. In using such a multiple metrics analysis to ascertain the discoverability and accessibility of LIS scholarship via SAJLIS in the period 2012 to 2017, the study employs performance metrics theory to guide the analysis. We highlight performance strengths of SAJLIS in terms of discoverability and accessibility of the scholarship it conveys; identify possible growth areas for strategic planning for the next 5 years; and make recommendations for further study for a more complete picture of performance strengths and areas for improvement.
Significance:

The importance of discoverability and accessibility of scholarship carried by a scholarly journal is conveyed.
The need to use multiple metrics for objective evaluation of the discoverability and accessibility of the scholarly content of a journal is emphasised.
The impact of open access on the discoverability and accessibility of the content of a scholarly journal is assessed.
How Do Informal Social Networks Impact on Labor Earnings in Turkey?

Published: July 2019

The informal social networks are one of the prominent factors in the labor market decisions both for the supply and demand side. Particularly, in developing countries, like Turkey, these informal networks have an influence on the labor market. However, even the existence of this issue, the impact of informal social networks has not been argued sufficiently for the Turkish case. In this respect, this study advances existing researches, by implementing the quantile regression method to reveal the impact of the informal social networks. The quantile regression analysis reveals the impacts of the different quantiles of wages. The Household Labor Force Survey (HLFS) is utilized for 2004-2016 period. The findings indicate that being recruited by social contacts has negative impact on wage levels and in consequence, aggregate productivity is decreased from low quality of labor force and the low return to the firm.

Насколько оправданна такая универсализация «этничности» в качестве объяснительного механизма общественных процессов, что она объясняет и что не может объяснить? К чему приводит абсолютизация этничности как свойства, «имманентно присущего» каждому индивиду и предопределяющего его принадлежность к группе? Эти и другие вопросы обсуждаются в рецензии.
Vocabulary Learning Strategies Employed by Thai University Students across Four Academic Profiles
Authors: Boonnoon Sichabhat
Published: July 2019

The present study explored the use of vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) by undergraduate Thai EFL students doing an academic reading course at a comprehensive university in northeastern Thailand and examined if there was a significant difference between the students' use of VLS and their academic majors. A five-point Likert-scale questionnaire with 41 items adapted from Jones’s (2006) taxonomy of VLS which was categorized into 8 different strategies was administered to a group of 267 Thai undergraduate students purposively selected from across four academic majors–Business major (BM), Engineering major (EM), Agriculture major (AM), and Health science major (HM). The results revealed that the students were moderate users of VLS, with dictionary and note-taking strategies being reported as the most frequently used VLS and selective attention the least frequently used VLS. The results of One-way ANOVA showed that the students were significantly different (p<.05) in using five out of eight strategies. Post hoc comparisons using Scheffe test showed that health science students used VLS more frequently than the rest of academic majors.
Reading The Color Purple from the Perspective of Ecofeminism
Authors: Wu Lianghong
Published: July 2019

Alice Waker is one of the most influential black female writers in modern America. The summit of her literary achievements, The Color Purple, wins her three awards since its publication and becomes a milestone in the black literature. This paper sums up the three stages of the relationship between human, women in particular, and nature---fragmentation, over-sewing and wholeness. In this novel, Walker attempts to arouse black women’s self-consciousness by showing the fragmentation state of black women and nature under oppressions. She looks for ways of oversewing the broken souls to realize the wholeness of survival. Advocating people to attach importance to the problems of women and environment, Walker expresses her ecofeminist consciousness to establish a harmonious society where human and nature, men and women could co-existent peacefully.
Case Study of Howard Goldblatt’s Translation of Red Sorghum—From Media-translatology Perspective
Authors: Deng Wensheng
Published: July 2019

Since Mo Yan was given the Nobel Prize for Literature，literary translation has been heatedly debated. Howard Goldblatt, as one of Mo Yan’s major translators of English world, is gaining global eyes. And his translations are so popular that some scholars claim that Howard flatters MoYan himself, and he has rewritten Mo Yan. To make the debate known to the public, the thesis explores Howard’s translation of Red Sorghum, based on the perspective of Media-translatology. In the translation, Howard Goldblatt has made addition, subtraction, rearrangement, etc., in the translation. His changes and adjustments are quite different from the ST, but it retains the image, structure of the ST, and it adopts aesthetic fidelity, which is a universal principle in literary translation. Howard’s choice of MoYan is another reason to help him achieve success in translation for western readers are particularly interested in Mo Yan’s invention of genre, style, techniques and language. And what Howard’s action has coincided with the significant opening-up policy of China is also a great power to popularize his translation. Actually, Howard’s performance and practice are necessary steps to communicate culture in cross-cultural interactions, he is not only a communicator of Chinese literature, modern and contemporary, but also a constant contributor of world civilization and culture, for his new attribute in translation—a thirdness.
Analysis of Discourse from Perspective of Systemic Functional Grammar
Authors: Li Xiaqing
Published: July 2019

Firstly the author introduces Systemic Functional Grammar in this paper, including the levels of language and their realization relationships, the systems of the three metafunctions and their submetafunctions, as well as the two levels of discourse analysis(DA). Then being based on different aspects of the systemic functional grammar, this paper analyzes the four discourses. Person system, mood and modality system, cohesion system in systemic function grammar are used in analysis of the first discourse “heal the world” which reveals some features of discourse of song. Understanding these characteristics can deepen understanding of the listener to the discourse of English song so as to improve the listener's ability to appreciate the song. When analyzing the other three discourses, the author uses the “context-text-commentary” method. Elaborate applicability of this linguistic theory to DA is the purpose. Finally, concluding that analysis of discourse with the systemic functional grammar analysis is not only a good way, but also it has very important significance.
Notas sobre las figuras de Pirrón y Timón en la obra de Sexto Empírico

Este trabajo describe los principales rasgos que Sexto Empírico extrae de quienes designa como sus precursores y, al mismo tiempo, explica cómo esa lectura influye en su propio ideal escéptico. Específicamente, señalaremos las principales características con que Pirrón y Timón aparecen retratados en la obra sextana. Consideramos que un estudio de estas figuras en el corpus sextano redundará en una mejor comprensión del ideal escéptico del filósofo. De este modo, nuestro objetivo principal consistirá en mostrar que Sexto utiliza distintas estrategias argumentativas para modelar su propia postura escéptica a partir de ellos. Paralelamente, a través de esta labor, intentaremos reivindicar a Sexto como un escritor auténtico, pues muchas veces se lo ha tildado de copista carente de originalidad cuando realiza exégesis de este tipo sobre guras como las aludidas.

Máscaras del escepticismo en la filosofía hegeliana
Authors: Montecinos Fabio Sergio
Published: July 2019

Se sostiene que la apropiación del escepticismo antiguo por parte de Hegel juega un papel fundamental para la formación de su sistemática, tanto en vista de aspectos metódicos que anticipan rasgos esenciales de la dialéctica especulativa, como en vista de su confrontación con la fiiosofía trascendental y la superación del conocer finito en general. Para ello, se reconstruyen dos guras y funciones que el escepticismo adopta en la fase temprana de su pensamiento (Frankfurt y Jena). Se concluye con una reflexión sobre la conexión general entre escepticismo y sistema en Hegel, y en este contexto se anuncia una tercera figura del escepticismo: la Fenomenología del Espíritu.
Wittgenstein y el escepticismo antiguo: desacuerdos, suspensión del juicio y persuasión

Mi propósito es evaluar el alcance de estas afinidades a partir del lugar que ambos autores otorgan a la problemática del desacuerdo.
Wittgenstein y la justificación de las proposiciones gozne
Authors: Gómez Alonso Modesto Manuel
Published: July 2019

Las cuestiones acerca de la posibilidad del pensamiento, entendido como una actividad dirigida a la realidad, son más profundas que las referidas a si el conocimiento es posible. El trilema de Agripa, particularmente mediante el tropo de arbitrariedad, expresa dichas cuestiones intuitivamente. Este tropo es, además, operativo en lo que se re ere a la epistemología de goznes, principalmente en virtud del hecho de que los goznes wittgensteinianos son principios fundacionales de nuestra práctica epistémica. Como tales, carecen necesariamente de aval racional, lo que plantea el problema de si la arbitrariedad de su aseveración es inherente a su carácter fundacional. Para afrontar este reto, los epistemólogos de goznes han propuesto una serie de argumentos prácticos que conciben los goznes bien como postulados que se exigen legítimamente a cualquier agente epistémico o como reglas constitutivas de la práctica ordinaria. El objeto de este trabajo es el de demostrar que tales argumentos son presa de consideraciones escépticas.
Metaescepticismo

Published: July 2019

En el presente trabajo suscribiremos el sentido de metaescepticismo según el cual la teoría del conocimiento es imposible. Este sentido de metaescepticismo se sostiene sobre dos condiciones aparentemente necesarias: (1) la identificación de uno o varios de los presupuestos de la teoría del conocimiento para someterlos a crítica; y (2) la asunción, más o menos explícita, de una comprensión del conocimiento alternativa a la que se atribuye y critica a la teoría del conocimiento en cuestión. Una vez aclaradas estas cuestiones preliminares llevaremos a cabo un repaso de las distintas variedades metaescépticas y comprobaremos que hasta las versiones más austeras de metaescepticismo satisfacen las dos condiciones anteriores. Esto nos llevará a concluir, en primer lugar, que todo metaescepticismo las cumple y, en segundo lugar, que no hay ninguna variedad de metaescepticismo que esté libre de implicaciones epistemológicas, por lo que terminaremos preguntándonos si cabe el metaescepticismo.
Las fuentes del escepticismo

Se afirma que el problema del escepticismo radical, en el que se centra gran parte de la discusión epistemológica contemporánea, se divide en dos formulaciones lógicamente distintas: una basada en el principio de clausura, y otra en el principio de infradeterminación. Primero, vamos a exponer la propuesta de Wittgenstein acerca de la estructura de la evaluación racional, y mostraremos cómo puede tratar con el escepticismo radical basado en el principio de clausura, al menos cuando dicha explicación se formula adecuadamente. Sin embargo, también aseveramos que esta propuesta no logra dar cuenta del escepticismo radical basado en la infradeterminación. El antídoto para esta última forma de escepticismo radical se encuentra en otra parte, sugerimos que en el seno del disyuntivismo epistémico.

Published: July 2019

Un libro refrescante y profundo. El contenido de Radical Skepticism and the Shadow of Doubt no es nuevo: originalmente titulado Epistemology noir, fue, desde diciembre del 2014 hasta su republicación en diciembre del 2017, un texto de público acceso en la página personal del autor (https://sites. google.com/a/brandeis.edu/eli-hirsch/). ¿Hay razón para dudar de si tenemos contacto con la realidad externa? Si tuviéramos razones para dudarlo, ¿dudaríamos? ¿O es imposible tener semejantes dudas? Éstas son algunas de las preguntas que Eli Hirsch nos plantea y aborda junto a nosotros y tres pintorescos personajes en su libro. Y lo hace en tantos niveles que tendrá que emerger (pues se reduplican en cada acto) una última duda: aun si descubriésemos que para los protagonistas es lícito dudar del Yo, de la realidad externa y de la filosofía como el o cio de la duda por excelencia, ¿es lícito para nosotros (y para Hirsch) dudarlo?

Authors: TAKKAC TULGAR Aysegul
Published: July 2019

As a popular social media application, WhatsApp has become an integral part of daily lives of many people on earth. Researchers have investigated the individual, social and pedagogical benefits of the tool. However, the possible contributions of WhatsApp as a platform for cultural interaction in the glocal sense has not been examined yet. To call attention to this dimension of the tool, this case study aims to investigate the role of WhatsApp in maintaining glocal linguistic, social and cultural interaction among a group of foreign learners of Turkish. The participants had a three-week summer school experience in Turkey where they formed a WhatsApp group for communication. After returning back to their home countries, these participants continued their interaction with their friends through the WhatsApp group. The data for this study were collected through open-ended questions. The results of the content analysis revealed that WhatsApp was an effective application to promote the maintenance of glocal cultural interaction among the participants with its personal, social and linguistic contributions. The participants could have the chance to exchange ideas and increase their perspectives and knowledge as global citizens while preserving their cultural and national identities as local citizens. Their interactional experiences through WhatsApp can be said to have helped the participants increase their awareness and expand their intercultural knowledge from the glocal stance.

THE STATE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY AS A THREAT TO RUSSIA’S SECURITY: PUBLIC ESTIMATES AND INFLUENCING FACTORS
Authors: Karginova-Gubinova V. V.
Published: July 2019

This article is aimed at determining the significance of the state of the world economy as a threat to national security for the public of the Russia, as well as the formalization of the factors determining this. The study is based on a sociological approach and assumes primary attention to society, not the state, and cognitive factors. Using the methods of applied statistics, the data of the international sociological survey held in February-May 2017 in 38 countries were analyzed. The reports and statistical bases of the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the Central Intelligence Agency were also analyzed. The study showed a plurality of factors that determine the assessment of threats to national security: both the personal characteristics of people and the characteristics of the development of their countries. From all of the countries reviewed, evaluations of Russians to the greatest extent correspond to the estimates of residents of Israel. The multiple regression equation was constructed, it allows to calculate the current and forecast public assessment of the state of the world economy as a threat for the country's security. The results can be used for further studies of security discourse and threat perception. Also, knowledge of the factors that determine the threat assessment will help to choose the tools and measures that will create both objective and subjective security (its feeling).
Publicidad y poesía en el nuevo ecosistema literario: un estudio en el marco de YouTube
Authors: Senís Juan
Published: July 2019

Son varios los especialistas que han llamado la atención sobre la existencia de un cambio de paradigma en la mediación lectora en el que la escuela no es ya la principal prescriptora de lectura y las redes sociales y la web cobran cada vez más protagonismo. En el marco de esta cambiante situación, este trabajo se centra en un anuncio de la colonia de Calvin Klein “Eternity”, en el cual un poema de E. E. Cummings desempeña un papel fundamental. Puede ser, por tanto, considerado una manifestación particular de poesía ilustrada, desde el momento en que versos e imágenes se alían en la creación de sentido, como ocurre en el álbum poético. De hecho, en el presente estudio dicho anuncio es comparado con un álbum de Mati McDonough que adapta el mismo poema. Teniendo esto en cuenta, este anuncio podría provocar respuestas literarias en los receptores, aunque no estén inmersos en un contexto convencional de lectura, como la escuela o los libros. Así, para confirmar esta hipótesis, se analizan los comentarios acerca del anuncio por parte de usuarios de YouTube. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los comentarios es de tipo estético, aunque no específicamente literario. Sin embargo, todo ello lleva a la conclusión de que, debido a su potencial estético y a sus similitudes con el álbum poético, el anuncio puede ser un adecuado instrumento para la educación literaria, especialmente con la mediación adecuada.
Valor predictor y discriminante de la velocidad de nombrado en español: experiencia con niños argentinos.
Authors: Fonseca Liliana , Corrado Ivana , Lasala Eleonora , García-Blanco Laura , Simian Marina
Published: July 2019

La detección temprana de los lectores con dificultad es fundamental para la implementación de programas de remediación.En Latinoamérica hay pocas herramientas para evaluar las habilidades prelectoras.  La velocidad de denominación y la conciencia fonológica son considerados los principales predictores de la lectura. El objetivo de este trabajo fue adaptar al español la prueba RAN/RAS publicada por Wolf y Denkla (Wolf y Denkla, 2005) y determinar la correlación con las medidas de denominación con las de lectura entre preescolar y 3ro de la Escuela Primaria. Para ello se evaluó a 142 niños de entre 5 y 8 años en tareas de denominación, conciencia fonológica, segmentación fonémica, lectura de letras, lectura de palabras, lectura de pseudopalabras y comprensión de textos de acuerdo al año que cursaban. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la velocidad de denominación es un buen predictor de la lectura y que correlaciona con medidas de fluidez y precisión. Estos resultados confirman que su normalización en la población latinoamericana sería de gran utilidad para la detección temprana de niños en riesgo.

Published: July 2019

Los contenidos digitales para niños y jóvenes son un sector que crece de manera continua, por lo que reconocer la calidad de los mismos es una tarea compleja, ya que las tiendas de aplicaciones no siempre proporcionan información clara y completa. En este contexto nacen las plataformas de recomendación de aplicaciones, sitios web dedicados a seleccionar, evaluar y reseñar los productos que día a día aparecen. Como no todos ofrecen información de la misma calidad resulta necesario estudiarlos y compararlos. Partiendo de estas consideraciones en el trabajo se evalúan veinticinco recomendadores, en base a veintisiete indicadores agrupados según se refieran a la estructura del sitio web, la información que aportan sobre el contenido y la visibilidad que consiguen en las redes sociales. La evaluación realizada muestra cuáles son los mejores recomendadores según los indicadores establecidos en el artículo.
Enseñar fluidez lectora en el aula: de la investigación a la práctica
Authors: Castejón Luis A. , González-Pumariega Soledad , Cuetos Ana
Published: July 2019

Se presenta una propuesta colaborativa entre universidad y escuela para diseñar e implementar en el aula un programa de fluidez lectora basado en evidencias. Participaron 36 alumnos de 2º de Educación Primaria, sus maestras y dos profesores de universidad que actuaron como asesores, constituyendo todos un grupo de trabajo. Se formó a las maestras en contenidos de fluidez y se realizó una evaluación inicial para identificar los grupos de riesgo, emergente y establecido en fluidez lectora. Se diseñó e implementó durante 7 meses  un entrenamiento ajustado a cada nivel basado en la lectura repetida de palabras y frases. Los resultados reflejan una mejoría en la competencia de las maestras por la integración del entrenamiento de la fluidez en su sistema de respuesta, adaptándolo a distintos niveles de enseñanza. En el alumnado se constató una mejoría en la fluidez. Se plantea la necesidad de acercar a las escuelas las aportaciones de la investigación educativa y de ayudar a los docentes a desarrollar intervenciones basadas en la misma y ajustadas al nivel del grupo de clase.
