This article aims to present a practice of reading and writing in the discursive perspective, from versions of children’s and young adult’s literature and cinema, on reconstruction of stories. The theoretical basis supporting this reflection is Discourse Analysis (DA), anchored in the studies of Michel Pêcheux, in France, and Eni Puccinelli Orlandi, in Brazil. We started with the reading project Ler, contar e recontar (Reading, telling and retelling) in 2012, motivated by the concern about students presenting difficulties in writing and interpreting texts in all disciplines. The project’s purpose is to perform DA on literary and cinematographic works in activities that lead to the establishment of similarities and differences among such materials. We provided visibility to the effects of meaning produced in the passage from the book to films and to drawings, considering the different processes of constitution, formulation and circulation of each significant materiality. By an approach involving reading the book, watching movies and examining drawings, added by discussions on effects of meaning of each and among them, it was possible to build the final product: a new version for the Peter Pan story, which was brought to the current days. Such story was presented on a festive night to the school community, showing the effects of authorship. It is worth remembering that it is not possible to invent a recipe. Our project is unique and even if someone wants to copy it, i.e., use the same methodology, the results will be different, as the subjects will be different, just like the production conditions, the time, the teacher, the activities etc. The unique production conditions of the conceived activities and the specific chosen class are responsible for the particular result of any proposal.
Possession and nominalization in Dan: Evidence for a general theory of categories
Authors: Baker Mark C. , Gondo Bleu Gildas
Published: April 2020

Dan, a Mandean language of the Ivory Coast, marks the alienable possessors of simple nonrelational nouns differently from the inalienable possessors of relational nouns: only the former occur with the particle ɓa. This difference also shows up in nominalizations. When a verb is nominalized, its theme argument is expressed like the possessor of a relational noun, without ɓa, whereas when an adjective is nominalized, its theme argument is expressed like the possessor of a nonrelational noun, with ɓa. We show that this generalization holds for both a low type of nominalization, in which the nominalizer combines directly with the root before that root combines with any arguments, and for a high type of nominalization, in which the nominalizer combines with a larger phrase. We account for this difference between deverbal nominalization and deadjectival nominalization using Baker’s (2003) theory of the lexical categories, according to which verbs intrinsically combine directly with a theme argument, whereas adjectives do not, but only become predicates of a theme argument with the help of a functional head Pred. This theory also accounts for the fact that denominal nouns like ‘childhood’ pattern with deadjectival nominalizations in this respect. This study thus provides new empirical support for Baker’s theory of lexical categories, as opposed to theories which assume a stronger parallelism across the various lexical categories.
Lexical Availability Output in L2 and L3 EFL Learners: Is There a Difference?
Authors: Catalán Rosa Mª Jiménez , Fontecha Almudena Fernández
Published: April 2020

English as a foreign language (EFL) is a global issue that extends to thousands of learners worldwide who share a similar classroom situation. However, researchers have often considered learners to have homogeneous linguistic profiles, overlooking the fact that EFL classrooms in primary and secondary education include learners with different linguistic profiles. Despite the fact that immigrant and non-immigrant students meet every day in classrooms, little is known about the EFL performance of the former compared to the latter. This paper addresses this reality, and explores the vocabulary performance of immigrant students, learners of English as an L3, compared to learners of English as an L2 who had the same course level and were from the same community. The research questions were twofold:

(1) to ascertain whether there were quantitative differences between L2 and L3 English learners in terms of the number of words produced by each group, and

(2) to ascertain whether there were qualitative differences in the words produced by the L3 and L2 groups with regard to (a) the most and least productive prompts for each group, and (b) the number of infrequent words appearing in the production of each group.

The sample consisted of 14 bilingual students who were learners of English as an L3 and 14 monolingual learners of English as an L2, respectively, who were in the twelfth year of Spanish secondary education (age 17-18 years old). The data collection instrument was a lexical availability task consisting of six prompts. The data were lemmatized, coded and analysed by means of WordSmith Tools and the VocabProfile programme. The results indicated that the L2 group produced a greater number of words and a higher percentage of infrequent words in the most productive prompt.
Analysis of the ROPO Effect amongst Men in the Clothing Industry in Poland
Authors: Czajkowski Tomasz , Szymański Grzegorz
Published: April 2020

The aim of the article is to present and analyse the results of research on the extent of the ROPO effect (Research Online, Purchase Offline) amongst men in the clothing industry in Poland. This effect is an important factor limiting the development of the e-commerce sector. The selection of men as an investigated population is determined by the literature gap in the clothing industry. This industry is dominated by women in Poland, who much more often than men purchase this type of product. However, company managers should also take into consideration the habits and attitudes of men. In this study, research was done on a sample of 1303 males who purchased a clothing product in a traditional shop. Analysis of research results allowed the identification of the scale of the ROPO effect in dependence on the age and place of residence of the respondents. An additional aspect investigated was also the subjective assessment of the respondents of selected elements of the purchasing process.
Human-centric Faceted Approach for Ontology Construction
Authors: Ghosh Shiv Shakti , Das Subhashis , Chatterjee Sunil Kumar
Published: April 2020

In this paper, we propose an ontology building method, called human-centric faceted approach for ontology construction (HCFOC). HCFOC uses the human-centric approach, improvised with the idea of selective dissemination of information (SDI), to deal with context. Further, this ontology construction process makes use of facet analysis and an analytico-synthetic classification approach. This novel fusion contributes to the originality of HCFOC and distinguishes it from other existing ontology construction methodologies. Based on HCFOC, an ontology of the tourism domain has been designed using the Protégé-5.5.0 ontology editor. The HCFOC methodology has provided the necessary flexibility, extensibility, robustness and has facilitated the capturing of background knowledge. It models the tourism ontology in such a way that it is able to deal with the context of a tourist’s information need with precision. This is evident from the result that more than 90% of the user’s queries were successfully met. The use of domain knowledge and techniques from both library and information science and computer science has helped in the realization of the desired purpose of this ontology construction process. It is envisaged that HCFOC will have implications for ontology developers. The demonstrated tourism ontology can support any tourism information retrieval system.
Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical Instruments
Authors: Lee Deborah
Published: April 2020

This paper discusses the Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical Instruments. This classification system was originally designed for musical instruments and books about instruments, and was first published in German in 1914. Hornbostel-Sachs has dominated organological discourse and practice since its creation, and this article analyses the scheme’s context, background, versions and impact. The position of Hornbostel-Sachs in the history and development of instrument classification is explored. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the mechanics of the scheme, including its decimal notation, the influential broad categories of the scheme, its warrant and its typographical layout. The version history of the scheme is outlined and the relationships between versions is visualised, including its translations, the introduction of the electrophones category and the Musical Instruments Museums Online (MIMO) version designed for a digital environment. The reception of Hornbostel-Sachs is analysed, and its usage, criticism and impact are all considered. As well as dominating organological research and practice for over a century, it is shown that Hornbostel-Sachs also had a significant influence on the bibliographic classification of music.

A lot of intersexual children undergo gender reassignment surgery to achieve clear classification as being either male or female.

In this work, the current medical practice in this regard is examined in terms of its compatibility with German law. The study focuses on informed consent regarding such medical treatment. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the legal systems in Germany, Austria and Switzerland aims to analyse whether certain regulations concerning the different forms of consent in this respect should be incorporated into the German legal system. All in all, the work pursues a legal policy objective, and develops and evaluates different approaches to improving the situation of intersexual individuals beyond surgical treatment.
Verwaltungsprozessuale Defizite der Rechtsschutzpraxis im Beamtenkonkurrentenstreit
Authors: Burghardt Katja
Published: April 2020

Die fast ausnahmslose Verlagerung des Rechtsschutzes des bei der Vergabe eines Statusamtes unterlegenen Bewerbers gegen die Ernennung seines Konkurrenten in das Eilverfahren weist prozessuale Defizite auf, die eine Rückführung des Rechtsschutzes in das Hauptsacheverfahren notwendig machen. Unter dieser Leitthese zeigt die Arbeit auf, dass die den verfassungsrechtlichen Bewerbungsverfahrensanspruch des unterlegenen Bewerbers verletzende Auswahlentscheidung auch nach erfolgreichem Eilverfahren fortbesteht, dass aus diesem Grund die Gefahr sich widersprechender behördlicher und verwaltungsgerichtlicher Entscheidungen droht und dass die strukturelle Verlagerung des Rechtsschutzes ins Eilverfahren eine Verkürzung des verwaltungsgerichtlichen Instanzenzuges bewirkt. Abschließend unterbreitet die Arbeit einen Vorschlag zur Ausgestaltung des Hauptsacherechtsschutzes in Beamtenkonkurrentenstreitigkeiten, den sie aus der Verwaltungsaktqualität der Auswahlentscheidung herleitet.

Sudden death syndrome caused by cardiac tumor
Authors: Petrović-Rodić Dušica , Spasić Marko , Popovska-Jovičić Biljana , Milošev Danijela , Mitrović Slobodanka
Published: April 2020

Cardiac tumors are not a common pathology. However, due to their occurrence in the vital organ, they bare an extremely important clinical significance. According to biological behavior, they are divided into 2 groups, primary (benign and malignant), which are less frequent and secondary (metastatic), which are more common. Among all primary benign cardiac tumors, myxoma is the one that occurs most often. A great number of studies indicate that it originates from multipotent mesenchymal cells of the septum of the left atrium. It is due to its localization that some authors consider it potentially malignant. This paper presents a case of cardiac myxoma which is echocardiographically diagnosed in a 34-year-old woman who died suddenly, several days before the scheduled surgery. The diagnosis of the disease was confirmed after the autopsy, by a routine haematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining method and an additional immunohistochemistry method (IHC). By presenting a rare clinical case, we emphasize the fact that every diagnosed cardiac tumor requires immediate cardiac surgery without delay.

Authors: Aparisi Romero Frederic
Published: April 2020

El presente trabajo aborda la producción de lino en el reino de Valencia desde la conquista cristiana hasta la expulsión de los moriscos. Es desde esta perspectiva que se cuestiona la pretendida especialización de las familias musulmanas de dicho territorio en el cultivo e hilado del lino. También se hace hincapié en la participación de las elites rurales en este ámbito productivo. Para acabar, en el estudio se plantea hasta qué punto se puede considerar esta producción como una industria rural en la medida que no hubo especialización productiva ni tampoco participación del capital comercial. Los protocolos notariales, los registros del justicia así como las cartas de población ya editadas son las principales fuentes documentales que sustentan esta investigación.AbstractThis paper is concerned with linen production in the kingdom of Valencia from the Christian conquest to the expulsion of the Moriscos in the seventeenth century. From this perspective we will question the supposed specialization of Muslim families of this territory in the production and spinning of linen. Moreover, this study specifically examines the participation of affluent Christian families in this sector. Finally, the article discusses to what extent this production should be classified as a specifically rural economic sector. The notarial protocols, judicial registers as well as previously published population charters are the main documentary sources on which we base our research.

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio es determinar los efectos del programa de intervención Descubriendo Mis emociones cuyo objetivo es reconocer y expresar las emociones positivas y morales, y el manejo de emociones negativas en un grupo de niños/as en edad preescolar de Lima. El estudio ha seguido un diseño de investigación cuasi experimental con grupo de control con pre test y post test. La muestra estuvo conformada por 125 participantes con una edad promedio de 5 años (95 del grupo experimental y 30 del control). Se determinó la evidencia basada en la validez de contenido, de constructo y confiabilidad del instrumento. El programa se organizó en diez  sesiones semanales de aproximadamente dos horas cada una, mediante la aplicación de técnicas participativas. Al inicio de la intervención, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en los puntajes obtenidos por los niños/as que conformaron el grupo control y el grupo experimental. En el análisis intragrupos, los dos grupos experimentales mostraron leves diferencias; en el análisis entre-grupos, se detectaron claras diferencias entre el grupo control y los grupos experimentales; en el análisis clinicométrico, hubo un mayor cambio confiable y clínico en los grupos experimentales. Se discuten las implicaciones de un programa orientado al reconocimiento de emociones en niños/as. ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to determine the effects of an intervention program discovering my Emotions for recognizing and expressing positive, negative and moral emotions. It was conducted with a group of preschooler’s children in Lima. The study followed a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The study sample comprised 125 participants with an average age of 5 years (95 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group), through intentional sample. Content validity, construct validity and reliability of the instrument were determined. The program was organized in ten weekly sessions of approximately two hours per session by applying participatory techniques. In the pretest, no significant differences were found in the scores obtained from the control group and the experimental group. In the intra-test group analysis, the two experimental groups showed slight differences. In the posttest, clear differences were detected between the control group and the experimental groups; in the clinical metric analysis, there was a greater reliable and clinical change in the experimental groups. The strategies, activities and participatory techniques are analysed, the regular attendance of the participants, among other aspects and the implications of the program oriented to the recognition of emotions in children are discussed. Pre-school children who participated in the program were able to recognize and express positive, moral and negative emotions. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the program and verifies the hypothesis formulated.
Vnetje požiralnika, povzročeno s HSV, pri imunokompetentnem otroku
Authors: Tiselj Mateja , Zidar Nina , Homan Matjaž
Published: April 2020

Vnetje požiralnika, povzročeno z virusom herpes simpleks (HSV), je stanje, ki se pri imunokompetentnih posameznikih pojavi redko, še zlasti v obdobju otroštva. Če so pri otroku prisotni simptomi v zgornjih prebavilih, opravimo endoskopijo požiralnika z biopsijami sluznice, s katerimi potrdimo prisotnost HSV. Zdravljenje je največkrat samo podporno, se pa v otroškem obdobju hitreje odločimo za protivirusno zdravljenje.Predstavljamo primer 9-letnega otroka z vnetjem požiralnika, povzročenega s HSV, ki je bil zaradi vztrajnega bruhanja in nezmožnosti hranjenja iz regionalne bolnišnice premeščen na Klinični oddelek za gastroenterologijo, hepatologijo in nutricionistiko Pediatrične klinike v Ljubljani.Ob sprejemu je bila ob kliničnem pregledu prisotna bolečina v spodnjem delu trebuha; deček je bil izsušen. V laboratorijskih preiskavah smo ugotavljali blago povišane kazalce vnetja. Po začetnih preiskavah, vključno z ultrazvočnim pregledom (UZ) trebuha, nismo uspeli pojasniti dečkovega stanja, zato je bila opravljena ezofagogastroduodenoskopija (EGDS), ki je pokazala izrazito vnetje v področju požiralnika. Biopsija je potrdila prisotnost HSV tip 1. Serološke preiskave so potrdile prisotnost HSV IgM in normalno vrednost HSV IgG, nadaljnje testiranje krvi pa ni potrdilo imunske pomanjkljivosti.
Izboljšanje dinamičnega ravnotežja z uporabo lestvice za oceno funkcionalnosti hoje (FGA) v fazi akutne nevrorehabilitacije pri nevrokirurških bolnikih
Authors: Kos Nataša , Brcar Maruša , Brcar Marko , Velnar Tomaž
Published: April 2020

Izhodišče: V akutni fazi nevrorehabilitacije imajo bolniki po nevrokirurških posegih pogosto motnje statičnega kot tudi dinamičnega ravnotežja. Lestvica za oceno funkcionalnosti hoje (angl. FGA) omogoča oceniti dinamično ravnotežje med hojo in je primerna za izvajanje specifičnih kompleksnih gibalnih spretnosti in temu primernih ravnotežnih odzivov. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti stopnjo izboljšanja dinamičnega ravnotežja pri bolnikih po odstranitvi vestibularnega tumorja z uporabo lestvice za ocenjevanje funkcionalnosti hoje, ki smo jo uporabili kot vadbeno orodje v času hospitalizacije.Metode: V prospektivno raziskavo smo vključili 10 bolnikov po kirurški odstranitvi vestibularnega tumorja, ki so bili sposobni slediti navodilom in so na Kratkem preizkusu spoznavnih sposobnosti (KPSS) dosegli več kot 25 točk od 30 možnih in dobili oceno po indeksu Barthelove več kot 8 od 20 točk. Med hospitalizacijo smo vse bolnike vključili v individualno prilagojeni program ravnotežnih spretnosti s poudarkom na različnih funkcijskih in kognitivnih nalogah, ki jih vključuje lestvica FGA, in jo uporabili kot učinkovito vadbeno orodje. Kot merilno orodje pa smo lestvico FGA uporabili za oceno dinamičnega ravnotežja ob odpustu bolnikov iz bolnišnice v domače okolje in ponovno po treh mesecih od odpusta. Bolniki so dobili tudi pisna navodila in posnetke vaj na DVD- ju za ustrezno nadaljevanje izvajanja dejavnosti v domačem okolju.Rezultati: Povprečna starost vključenih bolnikov (6 žensk, 2 moška, 2 najstnika) je bila 39,5 let (razpon 18–57 let). Hospitalizacija je povprečno trajala 10,5 dni (razpon od 7 do 14 dni). Šest bolnikov je ob odpustu iz bolnišnice po lestvici FGA dobilo oceno od 8–14/30, štirje bolniki pa vrednosti 16–20/30, kar kaže na prisotnost zmernih do hudih motenj dinamičnega ravnotežja. Tri mesece po odpustu je 7 bolnikov doseglo več kot 22 točk (od 24–28/30), kar pomeni, da so imeli blage motnje dinamičnega ravnotežja, 3 bolniki so dosegli manj kot 22 točk (od 14–18/30), kar pomeni, do so imeli med hojo zmerne do hude motnje dinamičnega ravnotežja, zato so potrebovali nadzor ali pomoč druge osebe. V naši raziskavi je minimalno izračunano zaznavno spremembo 4 točke po FGA preseglo 70 % bolnikov, kar kaže na izboljšanje dinamičnega ravnotežja.Zaključek: Lestvica za oceno funkcionalnosti hoje se je izkazala kot odlično vadbeno orodje za odkrivanje motenj in izboljšanje dinamičnega ravnotežja, ki ugodno vpliva na specifične gibalne spretnosti in tako olajša bolnikovo delovanje v domačem okolju.
El pensamiento computacional en Educación. Análisis bibliométrico y temático.
Authors: Roig-Vila Rosabel , Moreno-Isac Víctor
Published: April 2020

El pensamiento computacional se está considerando actualmente como una de las competencias más demandadas y, de ahí, su planteamiento en el contexto educativo. Este trabajo trata de analizar la literatura científica sobre la aplicación del pensamiento computacional en el ámbito educativo publicada en las colecciones principales de la base de datos Web of Science. Se han tenido en cuenta las variables de año de publicación, los países con más producciones, los autores más productivos en este campo y fuentes documentales con mayor número de publicaciones. Asimismo, se ha realizado una clasificación según los tipos de documentos y los métodos de investigación utilizados, así como las etapas educativas objeto de estudio y los lenguajes de programación utilizados. Se ha hallado una tendencia creciente de publicaciones en esta temática, donde España es uno de los países donde más se publica. Además, se ha observado cómo este campo de estudio se ha abordado desde los dos principales métodos de investigación –cuantitativo y cualitativo— y la etapa educativa más investigada es la educación primaria. Por último, se lleva a cabo una discusión de los resultados y conclusiones, sirviendo este documento como punto de partida para futuras investigaciones sobre el pensamiento computacional en educación.

The status of computational thinking as one of the most demanded skills explains why suggestions are currently being made to apply it within the educational context. This paper constitutes an attempt to analyze the scientific literature on the implementation of computational thinking in the field of education published in the most important Web of Science database collections. Attention was paid to four variables, namely: publication year; countries with more productions; the most productive authors in this field; and documentary sources with a higher number of publications. Added to this, we carried out a classification according to the types of documents and the research methods used, along with the educational stages under study and the programming language adopted. Publications are undoubtedly on an upward trend, Spain standing out as one of the most productive countries in this area. Likewise, evidence demonstrates not only that this field of study has been addressed using the two main research methods —quantitative and qualitative— but also that the emphasis has traditionally been placed on the primary education stage. A discussion of the results obtained as well as the conclusions drawn will put an end to this paper, which can hopefully serve as a starting point for future research works on the utilization of computational thinking in education.

Published: April 2020

Los países del mundo han incluido en sus agendas educativas la incorporación del Pensamiento Computacional (PC) en la Educación Básica. A pesar de los esfuerzos de las autoridades escolares, los sistemas escolares tienen dificultades en desarrollar esta propuesta en las aulas tradicionales. En este artículo presentamos dos experiencias basadas en el uso de tecnologías y metodologías educativas que han ayudado a superar estas dificultades, logrando llevar el PC al aula de forma eficaz para los estudiantes, profesorado y centros escolares. Las experiencias se han desarrollado en colaboración con instituciones educativas y ministerios de educación de dos países de Latinoamérica. Las tecnologías educativas utilizadas son los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA), los sistemas de colaboración síncronos, y los entornos de programación online Scratch/Snap. Las metodologías educativas desarrolladas se basan en el trabajo colaborativo profesorado-tutores, profesorado-estudiantes, y estudiantes-estudiantes. Ambas, tecnologías y metodologías educativas, se han utilizado de forma conjunta para desarrollar a través del PC la capacidad de nuestros estudiantes para resolver problemas relacionados con la vida diaria y con el mundo laboral.

Countries in the world have included in their educational agendas the incorporation of Computational Thinking (CT) in Compulsory Education. Despite the efforts of the school authorities, the school systems have difficulties in developing this proposal in the traditional classrooms. In this article we present two experiences based on the use of educational technologies and methodologies that have helped overcome these difficulties by bringing the PC to the Classroom effectively for students, teachers and schools. Experiences have been developed in collaboration with educational institutions and ministries of education in two Latin American countries. The educational technologies used are virtual learning environments (VLE), synchronous collaboration systems, and Scratch / Snap online programming environments. The educational methodologies developed are based on collaborative work teachers-tutors, teachers-students, and students-students. Both educational technologies and methodologies have been used together to develop, through the PC, the ability of our students to solve problems related to daily life and the working world.

The subject of this research is the set of legal, organizational and economic measures pertinent ti the reforms taxation of private entities aimed at ensuring fairness and further positive development of tax system of Russia and Kazakhstan. The author determines the patterns in periodicity of conducting reforms, success and mistakes in their implementation from the perspective of the theory of taxation, tax regulation, and theory of reforms. The article proposes an algorithm for carrying out the reform of taxation, which can serves as a universal instrument for reforms of the entire tax system or its separate elements. The scientific novelty consists in the comprehensive study of the reforms of taxation of private entities based on the Russian, Kazakh and other foreign experience for the period from 1991 to 2020 within the framework of decennial cycle ended with the crises, which allowed detecting the merits and flaws and proposing a unique sequential algorithm for conducting taxation reform. Articulation and substantiation of the goals, as desired state of the system of taxation of private entities, vectors of its transformations and development, requires their precise formulation, quantification and implementation.
The dramaturgy of coloristics
Authors: Kormin Nikolai Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2020

This article analyzes the approaches to understanding the aesthetic architectonics of coloristics and transcendental clarification of the dramaturgy of knowledge on color, as well reveals potential for its spiritual dimension. Viewing aesthetics as a form of metaphysical history of origin that changes modus of the ability to reason, and the aesthetics of color itself as what R. Arnheim calls metaphorical clash of modalities, the author demonstrates the emergence of text linguistics of coloristics as a manifestation of the observed at the limit, as a perception of unthinkable in creativity. The question that still remains open is one of how it is possible speak of transcendental vision of color, if the transcendental itself cannot be captured in a burst of passion or get inspired by it. Nonetheless, namely these acts are of great importance for comprehending all that suggests the presence of aesthetic predicates. For the first time it is shown that the conducted by Husserl analysis of the problem of perception of color is a paramount prerequisite for the phenomenological concept of intentionality of aesthetic consciousness. Transcendental phenomenology discovers fundamental grounds of this concept (also enabling aesthetic interpretation of the phenomena of consciousness) by modally intentioning understanding of the concept of color perception, finely structuring and describing it as a manifestation of activity of the consciousness on different levels.

Within-host competition drives energy allocation trade-offs in an insect parasitoid
Authors: Wilson J. Keaton , Ruiz Laura , Davidowitz Goggy
Published: April 2020

Organismal body size is an important biological trait that has broad impacts across scales of biological organization, from cells to ecosystems. Size is also deeply embedded in life history theory, as the size of an individual is one factor that governs the amount of available resources an individual is able to allocate to different structures and systems. A large body of work examining resource allocation across body sizes (allometry) has demonstrated patterns of allocation to different organismal systems and morphologies, and extrapolated rules governing biological structure and organization. However, the full scope of evolutionary and ecological ramifications of these patterns have yet to be realized. Here, we show that density-dependent larval competition in a natural population of insect parasitoids (Drino rhoeo: Tachinidae) results in a wide range of body sizes (largest flies are more than six times larger (by mass) than the smallest flies). We describe strong patterns of trade-offs between different body structures linked to dispersal and reproduction that point to life history strategies that differ between both males and females and individuals of different sizes. By better understanding the mechanisms that generate natural variation in body size and subsequent effects on the evolution of life history strategies, we gain better insight into the evolutionary and ecological impacts of insect parasitoids in tri-trophic systems.

Published: April 2020

No monocultivo de arroz, as espécies daninhas mais adaptadas a este sistema de produção aparecem em maior incidência na área. A rotação de culturas pode ser uma alternativa para auxiliar na redução do banco de sementes de plantas daninhas. Nesse sentido o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a dinâmica do banco de sementes de capim-arroz (Echinochloa spp.) e papuã (Urochloa plantaginea) em terras baixas, em combinações de rotação de culturas e do manejo de solo. Foram utilizadas as culturas de arroz, soja e sorgo, sob o manejo de preparo do solo convencional e sistema de semeadura direta, cultivado em faixas. Foi avaliado o banco de sementes de capim-arroz e papuã após dois anos de cultivo, na camada de 0-5 e 5-10 cm de profundidade. A densidade do banco de sementes de capimarroz e papuã foi superior no monocultivo de sorgo em relação ao cultivo de arroz. Não houve diferença do banco de sementes de plantas daninhas entre diferentes camadas de solo, exceto para o papuã no monocultivo de sorgo. O monocultivo de sorgo, sem aplicação de herbicidas em pós-emergência, em terras baixas incrementa o banco de sementes de capim-arroz e papuã.

This paper explores the role of an innovative trauma-informed, strengths-based education program designed to address barriers to education about the self-esteem and well-being of survivors of torture and/or war. Results show a statistically significant change in participants’ self-esteem measures. Qualitative data suggest that the participants perceived the program as a safe space that afforded social support and factual information about access to tertiary education. The program also reinforced participants’ sense of belonging and helped sustain their feelings of hope and motivation. Trauma-informed, strengths-based educational programming is a promising framework that can support survivor’s self-esteem, sense of identity, and successful resettlement.

During the contemporary period, man has undergone transformations in terms of lifestyle, social relations, and economic affairs throughout all human history. These changes, in some cases, have had a reversible effect on human health, due to the lack of coordination with the evolutionary processes that man has acquired over the course of tens of thousands of years of social evolution. One of these dimensions is the mental health of the community; among other things, the mental health of the elderly is of particular importance due to human capital and future generations. In this research, the main goal is to achieve the current state of mental health of the elderly living in the home (in the neighbourhood) and living in the nursing home and compare these two. The concept of mental health in this research is based on various approaches, from the point of view of global health ontologists and role theorists (Conrad Lorenz), self-actualisation and realization (Yong and Allport), humanists (Maslow), the network of sustainable social networks Adler), theories of psychoanalysis (Freud, Ericsson, Kurt Levine, Carl Rogers) and theories with other approaches have been suggested. The concepts and variables used in this research are mental health and ageing and 28-GHQ measurement tools, which are components of depression, anxiety, social functioning and physical condition of the elderly living in the home and the nursing home. The research method is Ali-Comparative and 100 non-Alzheimer's sample of 50 men and women from Tabriz and 50 men and women from Urmia, including 100 people, 50 people living at home and 50 people living in nursing homes. In analysing data, descriptive and inferential statistics and t-test were used. The results of this study revealed that the mental health of men living in nursing homes has a better mental health status than the women living in nursing homes; and, conversely, women living in the home have a higher mental health status than men living at home.

Aim: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other nosocomial pathogens are frequently isolated from the Radiology Department of hospitals. These pathogens are repeatedly exposed to refracted electromagnetic radiations during diagnostic clinical X-ray imaging sessions. This study thus investigated the effect of these refracted radiations on the nosocomial bacteria found within Radiology units and their possible survival mechanism.

Methodology: Swab samples were collected from three (3) Radiology units; plain radiography machine, ultrasound machine and mammography machine. The samples were cultured and identified following standard microbiology procedures. The identified bacterial isolates were exposed to X-rays at different KVp and MAs factors, cell counts and catalase activities of the isolates were determined using standard procedures.

Results: The bacterial isolates identified were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis where Staphylococcus aureus had the highest prevalence (29.41%) and Enterococcus faecalis (11.76%) was least. The highest survival level to KVp and MAs exposure was S. aureus with values 11.16 ± 0.86 x103 and 19.50 ± 0.16 x103 cfu/ml respectively while Enterococcus faecalis was least with negative value. There was a positive correlation between catalase activity and cell survival with R-value of 0.2512 and 0.6925 for KVp and MAs exposure factors respectively.

Conclusion: The study revealed that clinical X-ray does not completely eliminate nosocomial pathogens within Radiology Department and MRSA is a formidable bacterium in the units.

General anaesthesia is known to be associated with the risk of cardiopulmonary depression, therefore the use of a safer means of anaesthesia as an alternative has to be explored. Epidural anaesthesia technique is known for its simplicity, safety and effectiveness and is one of the most frequently used regional anesthetic techniques described for surgical procedures caudal to the umbilicus in small animal practice. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of lumbo-sacral epidural injection of a mixture of 7.5 mg/kg of 2% lignocaine solution and 0.2 mg/kg 0.5% diazepam solution in 10 apparently healthy Nigerian local dogs undergoing caudectomy. Onset of neural blocked recorded was 6.5 ± 1.35 min (mean ± SD), duration of analgesia was 54.4 ± 5.38 min (mean ± SD) and duration of recumbency was 115.1 ± 36.1min (mean ± SD). Changes observed in the Pulse rate (PR), Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), Respiratory rate (RR) and Rectal temperature (RT) were recorded at 10 min intervals throughout the duration of the procedure. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the mean physiological parameters observed as compared to the baseline values. Blood samples were also taken at 15 min interval throughout the duration of the procedure to determine the effects of the epidurally administered lignocaine-diazepam combination on haematological and serum biochemical indices. No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed in the mean haematological (PCV, RBC, WBC, Hb and CBC) and serum biochemical indices (ALT, ALP, Creatinine and BUN).  It was concluded that epidurally administered lignocaine-diazepam mixture at 7.5 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg respectively had a fast onset of neural blockade, adequate and long duration of analgesia without profound effects on haemodynamic and cardiopulmonary system.
Children's response biases to results of object sharing
Authors: Okanda Mako , Taniguchi Kosuke
Published: April 2020

This study investigated whether 2‐ to 6‐year‐old children exhibit a response bias to questions pertaining to the results of sharing objects that should attract their interest. An experimenter distributed four objects between herself/himself and a child, equally or unequally (more to the child or more to the experimenter) and asked the child yes‐no questions: “Is this okay?” and “Is this bad?” The results indicated that 2‐ and 3‐year‐olds exhibited a yes bias in all conditions, 4‐year‐olds exhibited a yes bias to the equal condition and to the unequal condition with more distributed to the child, and 5‐year‐olds exhibited a yes bias to both unequal conditions, whereas 6‐year‐olds did not show any response bias. Young preschoolers exhibited a yes bias regardless of questions and children may become able to say both “yes” and “no” appropriately to questions about object sharing after the age of six.

The classical nucleation theory (CNT) is the most common theoretical framework used to explain particle formation. However, nucleation is a complex process with reaction pathways which are often not covered by the CNT. Herein, we study the formation mechanism of copper nanospheres using in situ X‐ray absorption and scattering measurements. We reveal that their nucleation involves coordination polymer lamellae as pre‐nucleation structures occupying a local minimum in the reaction energy landscape. Having learned this, we achieved a superior monodispersity for Cu nanospheres of different sizes. This report exemplifies the importance of developing a more realistic picture of the mechanism involved in the formation of inorganic nanoparticles to develop a rational approach to their synthesis.

Facing the environmental crisis to leakage of oil spills and chemicals, multifunctional absorbent with high oil absorption and selectivity urgently need to solve this matter. In our work, a high oil sorbent was designed and favorably fabricated by two simple immersions using melamine sponge as pristine and a series of oils were used to evaluate the oil absorption performances of the absorbent. Two immersions include adhesion of dopamine and grafting of the long chain hydrophobic agent. The prepared material is superhydrophobic with water contact angle is 165.9° ± 2.17 and high oil absorption to chloroform is 174 times by own weight, other oils are close to or over 100 times, but to water is only 0.5 times. The reusability reveals that the average recovery can keep more than 95% after 20 cycles. These advantages make it really potential to use in oil spill clean.
