Entrepreneurial constraints on women in chile: an empirical approach
Authors: Fernández Robin Cristóbal , Santander Astorga Paulina , Yáñez Martínez Diego
Published: February 2019

This Article of scientific and technological  research examines conditioning factors that affect female entrepreneurship in Chile through a study of the formal and informal constraints of institutional economic theory and of differences in women’s experiences with entrepreneurship compared to those of male entrepreneurs. A sample of respondents from Chile was selected, and GEM Adult Population Survey data for the period 2011-2015 were used. The results highlight the influence of informal factors on male and female entrepreneur as perceptions of entrepreneurial capabilities and networking. Additionally, being a student was found to have a negative effect on both genders, while family role has a negative effect on the probability for women to undertake.Este artículo de investigación científica examina factores condicionantes que afectan el emprendimiento femenino en Chile a través de un estudio de las limitaciones formales e informales de la teoría económica institucional y de lasdiferencias en las experiencias de las mujeres emprendedoras en comparación con las de sus pares masculinos. Se seleccionó una muestra de encuestados chilenos y se utilizaron los datos de la Encuesta de Población Adulta deGEM para el período 2011-2015. Los resultados indican la influencia de los factores informales en ambos sexos, como percepción de las capacidades empresariales y la creación de redes. Además, se evidenció que ser estudiantetenía un efecto negativo en ambos sexos, mientras que el papel de la familia tiene un efecto negativo en la probabilidad de que las mujeres emprendan.Este artigo da pesquisa científica e tecnológica examina os fatores condicionantes que afetam o empreendedorismo feminino no Chile através de um estudo das restrições formais e informais da teoria econômica institucional e das diferenças nas experiências das mulheres com o empreendedorismo em comparação com os empresários do sexo masculino.

Design for Disruption: Creating Anti-Fragile Urban Delta Landscapes
Authors: Roggema Rob
Published: February 2019

In this article three different responses are taken as the starting point how different types of disruption could be dealt with. These responses—repair, bounce back and grow stronger—are combined with three disruptions (sea level rise, storm surge and heavy rainfall), and then tested in three case studies. The result of the investigation is that anti-fragility (grow stronger) is a preferential approach to create delta landscapes that become stronger under influence of a disruption. Anti-fragility is for this research subdivided in three main characteristics, abundance of networks, adaptivity and counterintuitivity, which are used to analyse the three case study propositions. The type of response, type of disruption, characteristic of anti-fragility and the qualities of the case study area itself determine the design proposition and the outcome. In all cases this approach has led to a stronger and safer landscape. The concept of anti-fragility impacts on the period before a disruption, during and also after the disruptive impact. This gives it a better point of departure in dealing with uncertain or unprecedented hazards and disruptions.
A Modern városok program újraiparosítási törekvései
Authors: Lux Gábor
Published: February 2019

A tanulmány célja a 2015-ben indult Modern városok program (MVP) iparfejlesztési elképzeléseinek kritikai elemzése a hazánkban kialakult függő piacgazdasági modell és a tartós gyengeségekkel küzdő fejlesztéspolitikai intézményrendszer tükrében. A gazdasági válság utáni Magyarországon a főáramú fejlesztéspolitikák kudarca, az ország gyenge felzárkózási teljesítménye növekvő érdeklődést eredményezett az alternatív gazdaságfejlesztési receptek iránt. Az új teret nyert developmentalista felfogás visszanyúl az erős állami beavatkozás ideájához, ezt azonban paradox módon olyan környezetben teszi, amelyben a gazdaság jelentős hányada külföldi beruházók kezében van, a hazai fejlesztéspolitika eszköz- és intézményrendszere pedig tartós és öröklődő gyengeségekkel küzd.

A kormány és a fejlesztésre kijelölt megyei jogú városok külön megállapodásain nyugvó, uniós forrásokat újraelosztó Modern városok program projektszemléletű, vonásaiban a francia és a lengyel tervszerződésekhez hasonló (de azoknál gyengébb és esetlegesebb) fejlesztési eszközként, az új fejlesztési filozófia megtestesítőjeként jelent meg az állami cselekvésben. A program, bár elsősorban városfejlesztési eszköz, jelentős számban tartalmaz újraiparosításra irányuló vagy azt támogató fejlesztési célokat (77 projekt).

A program elképzeléseit jelentős regionális különbségek fémjelzik. Az ország nyugati felében inkább a hagyományos fejlesztési eszközök alkalmazása és néhány tudásintenzív tevékenység letelepítésére irányuló törekvés figyelhető meg; a Dél-Alföldön és környezetében az endogén növekedési modell számára is kedvező komplex iparfejlesztési célok kerültek előtérbe; az ország ipari perifériáin azonban egyáltalán nem került sor igazi áttörést sejtető, előremutató fejlesztési célok megfogalmazására. Feltehető, hogy az MVP nyertesei elsősorban a már iparosodott vagy újraiparosodó térségek lesznek; a területi különbségek mérséklődése helyett a különbségek további növekedésére számíthatunk.
A hazai felsőoktatási jelentkezési döntések változása. A regionális hatás
Authors: Kuráth Gabriella , Sipos Norbert
Published: February 2019

A tanulmányban a hazai felsőoktatási jelentkezési döntésekkel foglalkozunk. A cél, hogy megvizsgáljuk a 2005/06 és a 2015/16 közötti évek jelentkezési számainak alakulását a regionális hatások kimutatásával. Eredményeink alapján a hazai intézmények vonzáskörzete átalakult, a csökkenő hallgatói létszámok mellett Budapest, valamint a nagyobb vidéki szellemi központok vonzereje növekedett, csökkentve az érdeklődést a kisebb felsőoktatási intézmények iránt. Így a gyengébb vonzerejű területeknek új lehetőségeket, stratégiákat kell találniuk a megváltozott helyzetben. A tanulmányban foglalkozunk az oktatási intézmények számára kötelező pályakövetési kutatásokkal, amelyek segítséget nyújthatnak munkájukhoz.
Okos valóság Magyarországon? Okos programok megvalósításának esélyei Miskolcon és a magyar–szlovák határ menti térségben
Authors: Józsa Viktória , Kneisz Ildikó
Published: February 2019

A hazai városok „smart city”-vé alakulásának támogatása a kormányzat kiemelt célja, és ezzel összehangban több hazai város is zászlajára tűzte az okosvárosprogramot. A cél elérése érdekében az elmúlt években számos település kapcsolódott nemzetközi együttműködésekhez, egyrészt a programhoz szükséges hazai forrás hiánya miatt, másrészt a nemzetközi jó gyakorlatok megismerése és alkalmazása céljából. Elsősorban a megyei jogú városok és a fővárosi kerületek indítottak ilyen tevékenységeket, de vajon csak a nagyvárosok kiváltsága a „smart”-ság? Kutatásunk egyik célja annak a hipotézisnek az alátámasztása, hogy az „okosság” a vidéki, elmaradott kistelepülések esetében is értelmezhető. Igaz, más megközelítés és módszertan alkalmazásával. Fentiek illusztrálására két nemzetközi kutatási projekt eddigi tapasztalatait vizsgáljuk: az országban egyedülálló Horizont 2020-as projektet, amely egy hazai nagyváros részvételével zajlik; valamint egy alapvetően más koncepcióval megvalósuló projektet, amely a határ menti, hátrányos helyzetű kistelepülések összefogására épül. Az esettanulmányok segítségével igyekszünk választ kapni arra, hogy a smart programok megvalósulásának – különböző típusú települések esetében – milyen realitása van hazánkban. A téma aktualitása a következő (2021–2027) európai uniós programozási időszak tervezésekor kiemelkedő lesz, mivel a megfogalmazott tanulságok, tapasztalatok a szakpolitika számára fontos kiindulási alapot jelenthetnek.
A Progressive Interval Type-I Censored Life Test Plan for Rayleigh Distribution
Authors: Kaushik Arun
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we have considered the problem of optimal inspection times for the progressive interval type-I censoring scheme where uncertainty in the process is governed by the two-parameter Rayleigh distribution. Here, we also introduced some optimality criterion and determined the optimum inspection times, accordingly. The effect of the number of inspections and choice of optimally spaced inspection times based on the asymptotic relative efficiencies of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters are also investigated. Further, we have discussed the optimal progressive type-I interval censoring plan when the inspection times and the expected proportions of total failures in the experiment are under control.
THE PHENOMENON OF NBIC CONVERGENTION
Authors: Klymenko R.
Published: February 2019

The purpose of the article is in a philosophical analysis of phenomenon of NBIC convergence as a main contemporary trend in technology, which will influence on life experience and social life. The author using an analysis of themathical information created an original concept of changes in human life which will be triggered by synergistic effect of development of NBIC technologies. Possible risks which are related to uncontrolled development of technology, as examples provided cases of genetic modification of human and usage of artificial intelligence. The author created an original concept of changes in human life which will be triggered by synergistic effect after usage of NBIC technologies. The original philosophical conclusions are discovered such as changes in thinking about categories of natural – unnatural. The obtained results allow us to think that modern technologies give us big possibilities that we need to estimate adequately. Their meaning is not restricted just to usual human life.
HISTORIOGRAPHY OF PHILOSOPHY AND NATIONAL TRADITION. SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE BASIS OF DISCUSSIONS ON THE HISTORY OF POLISH PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Mróz T.
Published: February 2019

The basis of paper consists of decades long discussion of Polish philosophers and historians of philosophy who touched upon the issue of national Polish philosophy and upon the problems of researching the history of Polish philosophy. The discussion led to numerous interesting conclusions which appear to be still valid for researchers of national philosophical traditions and also for philosophers who intend to contribute to philosophical tradition of their nation. Topical conclusions of their considerations can be formulated as methodological instructions for researching history of nation's philosophy and as advice for building philosophical tradition of the given nation.
Sobre o licenciamento de “sequer” em interrogativas do português brasileiro / On the licencing of “sequer” in Brazilian Portuguese interrogatives
Authors: Ferreira Thayse Letícia
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Neste texto, investigamos o comportamento do Item de Polaridade Negativa “sequer” em contexto de interrogação no português brasileiro (PB). Nosso objetivo com esta pesquisa é descrever a distribuição de “sequer” em tal ambiente e propor uma semântica para esse item, buscando explicar, sobretudo, o contraste existente entre sentenças como “ela sequer ligou?” e “*ela sequer ligou ou não?”. Para tanto, apresentamos algumas das principais propostas para lidar com IPNs encontradas na literatura, bem como alguns dos problemas que elas enfrentam, para, então, nos concentrarmos no licenciamento de IPNs em estruturas interrogativas e também no funcionamento de “sequer” nesse tipo de contexto. Concluímos, com a análise desse item, que interrogativas polares, de alternativa e de constituinte (wh) são ambientes propícios para o aparecimento de “sequer”, ao passo que questões de alternativa polar (A-não-A) bloqueiam sistematicamente a presença desse item. Como explicação para o comportamento observado, defendemos a hipótese da exaustividade forte elaborada por Guerzoni e Sharvit (2007) e demonstramos que “sequer” é bloqueado em interrogativas de alternativa polar como consequência de uma incompatibilidade entre propriedades do IPN e da estrutura inquisitiva.Palavras-chave: itens de polaridade negativa; sentenças interrogativas; semântica.Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the negative polarity item (NPI) “sequer” in interrogative contexts in Brazilian Portuguese (BrP). Our aim with this inquiry is to describe the distribution of “sequer” in such contexts and to propose a semantic denotation for this item, searching mainly to explain the contrast between sentences like “ela sequer ligou?” and “*ela sequer ligou ou não?”. In order to do that, we first present some of the main proposals found in the literature to deal with NPIs, then we focus on the licensing of NPIs in interrogative sentences and also on how “sequer” works in this kind of context. We conclude with the “sequer” analysis that polar questions, alternative questions and constituent questions are a suitable environment for the emergence of “sequer”, while polar alternative questions (A-not-A) systematically block the presence of this item. As an explanation for the observed behavior, we defend the strong exhaustiveness requirement elaborated by Guerzoni and Sharvit (2007) and show that “sequer” is blocked in alternative polar questions as a consequence of an incompatibility between the properties of “sequer” and the inquisitive structure.Keywords: negative polarity items; questions; semantics.
Verbos de movimento do português brasileiro: evidências contra uma tipologia binária / Brazilian Portuguese motion verbs: evidence against a two-way typology
Authors: Meirelles Letícia Lucinda
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Neste artigo, analisamos os verbos de movimento do português brasileiro em relação à tipologia linguística binária proposta por Talmy (1985, 2000). Focamos no comportamento sintático dos verbos com o intuito de mostrar que o português brasileiro não se caracteriza como uma língua emoldurada nos verbos (verb-framed language), como proposto pelo autor. Isso ocorre, pois, nessa língua, o sentido de trajetória é representado através de satélites, mesmo em verbos que lexicalizam o sentido de direção em sua raiz. Nós mostramos que o português brasileiro não apresenta um padrão tipológico definido, como tem sido proposto por diferentes autores para várias outras línguas. Concluímos que restrições sintáticas amplas, como a presença de sintagmas preposicionados, de adjuntos adverbiais e de orações subordinadas, determinam como nossa língua expressa as propriedades semânticas trajetória, direção e maneira em sentenças com verbos de movimento.Palavras-chave: português brasileiro; verbos de movimento; tipologia linguística.Abstract: This paper brings an analysis about Brazilian Portuguese motion verbs in relation to the binary linguistic typology proposed by Talmy (1985, 2000). It focuses on the syntactic behavior of those verbs in order to show that Brazilian Portuguese is not a verb-framed language, as proposed by the author. That occurs because in Brazilian Portuguese the meaning of path is expressed by satellites, even in verbs that lexicalize the meaning of direction in their roots. We show that Brazilian Portuguese does not present a definite typological pattern, as has been shown by different authors for several other languages. The conclusion is that broad syntactic constraints, such as the presence of prepositional phrases, adverbial adjuncts and subordinate clauses, determine how Brazilian Portuguese expresses the semantic properties path, direction and manner in sentences with motion verbs.Keywords: Brazilian Portuguese; motion verbs; linguistic typology.
A extração de genitivos e a periferia esquerda do sintagma de determinante do português brasileiro / The extraction of genitives and the left periphery of the Determiner Phrase in Brazilian Portuguese
Authors: Sedrins Adeilson Pinheiro
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Este artigo se insere nos estudos de perspectiva da cartografia da sintaxe, centrando a discussão no fenômeno da extração de constituintes para fora do Sintagma de Determinante (DP, do inglês Determiner Phrase) no Português Brasileiro (PB), enquanto um fenômeno que pode ser melhor acomodado assumindo uma estrutura de DP robusta em termos de categorias funcionais. O estudo busca ampliar para o PB a validação da postulação da projeção de uma categoria funcional F, como a projeção mais proeminente na estrutura nominal localizada acima de DP. A análise é centrada na extração de construções genitivas, as quais são assumidas como constituintes projetados em posição de especificadores, contra uma análise de adjunção para essas construções, como a apresentada em Avelar (2006). Com este estudo, pretende-se apresentar uma proposta em que a estrutura do sintagma nominal reflete a arquitetura do nível da sentença, como também permite uma estrutura de DP mais homogênea entre diferentes línguas como o PB e o húngaro, por exemplo. O quadro teórico em que se desenvolvem a discussão e a análise é o da gramática gerativa.Palavras-chave: genitivos; extração; periferia do DP; português brasileiro.Abstract: This paper is part of the studies on the cartography of the DP structure, focusing on the discussion of the phenomenon of the extraction of constituents out of DPs in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), a phenomenon that can be better accommodated assuming a robust DP structure in terms of functional categories. The study seeks to extend to BP the validation of the postulation of the projection of an FP category, as the most prominent projection in the nominal structure located above DP. The analysis is centered on the extraction of genitives, which are assumed to be constituents projected as specifiers, against an adjunction analysis for these constructions, as presented in Avelar (2006). With this study, we intend to present a proposal in which the structure of the noun phrase reflects the sentence-level architecture, but also allows a more homogeneous DP structure between different languages such as BP and Hungarian, for example. The theoretical framework in which discussion and analysis are developed is that of generative theory.Keywords: genitives; extraction; periphery of DP; Brazilian Portuguese.
A intensificação de adjetivos: fatores contextuais / Intensification of adjectives: contextual factors
Authors: Souza Luisandro Mendes de
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Este artigo discute a intensificação de adjetivos graduais modificados por muito a partir de uma abordagem referencial do significado. Assumindo a proposta que estipula que temos entidades de tipo  no modelo (von STECHOW, 1984; KENNEDY, 1997, 2007; KENNEDY; McNALLY, 2005a, entre outros), argumentamos que, em português brasileiro, há anomalias semânticas na combinação de muito com adjetivos absolutos de grau máximo, como previsto pela literatura. Contudo, nos casos em que a modificação é possível, isso se deve a dois fatores: ou o grau máximo é um padrão funcional convencionalizado, ou o padrão de comparação é intensional, seguindo a hipótese de Toledo e Sassoon (2011), para quem adjetivos absolutos têm classe de comparação intensional, em oposição à classe de comparação extensional dos adjetivos relativos. Por fim, propomos que muito A pressupõe que todos os indivíduos a quem a predicação se aplica sejam A, e que a identificação de um grau máximo como uma função total dos absolutos de grau máximo tem características de uma implicatura.Palavras-chave: semântica; pragmática; adjetivos graduais; modificadores graduais.Abstract: This paper discusses the intensification of gradable adjectives modified by muito ‘very’ using a referential approach to semantics. Assuming an approach which stipulates that there are entities of type  in the model (von STECHOW, 1984; KENNEDY, 1997, 2007; KENNEDY; McNALLY, 2005a, among others), we argue that in Brazilian Portuguese anomalies can be seen in the combination of muito with absolute gradable adjectives of maximum standard, as foreseen by the literature. However, in the cases in which the modification is possible, this can be related to two factors: or the maximum degree is a conventionalized functional standard, or the standard is intentional, according to the hypothesis of Toledo and Sassoon (2011), to whom absolute adjectives have an intentional class of comparison, against the extentional comparison class of the relative adjectives. Lastly, we propose that muito A presupposes that all the individuals to whom the predication applies are A and that the identification of a maximum degree as a total function in the case of absolutes with a maximum standard has features of an implicature.Keywords: semantics; pragmatics; gradable adjectives; degree modifiers.
Adjetivos em português brasileiro: posição pré-nominal e modificação de eventos / Adjectives in Brazilian Portuguese: prenominal position and event modification
Authors: Deschamps Thais
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Esse trabalho busca fazer uma aproximação entre a posição pré-nominal em português brasileiro e as propriedades apontadas para adjetivos avaliativos em inglês e espanhol, conforme observado principalmente em Fábregas, Leferman e Marín (2013). Apontamos que as propostas em PB de distinguir duas posições adjetivais claramente distintas na anteposição nos levam a perder algumas propriedades que, de maneira mais abstrata, parecem ser compartilhadas por boa parte dos adjetivos antepostos – especialmente uma certa “intermediação” entre o adjetivo e o nome na leitura obtida. A partir da observação de que a leitura avaliativa é uma propriedade comumente apontada para a posição pré-nominal, trazemos a proposta de Fábregas, Leferman e Marín (2013) de que adjetivos avaliativos se distinguem de adjetivos individual-level e stage-level por poderem selecionar um argumento evento e buscamos traçar um paralelo entre essa propriedade e a posição pré-nominal em PB de maneira mais ampla.Palavras-chave: adjetivos; modificação de eventos; posição adjetival.Abstract: This paper aims to draw a parallel between the prenominal position in Brazilian Portuguese and properties of Evaluative Adjectives that have been observed for English and Spanish, particularly as Fábregas, Leferman and Marín (2013) noted. We disagree with proposals for Brazilian Portuguese that claim there are two clearly distinct prenominal adjectival positions in Brazilian Portuguese. Such a conception would lead us to set aside some properties that, once more abstractly conceived, seem to be shared by a great portion of prenominal adjectives (namely, that there is some sort of “intermediation” between the adjective and the name in the A+N obtained reading). Departing from the observation that an evaluative reading is a commonly noted property for the prenominal adjectival position, we bring Fábregas, Leferman e Marín’s (2013) proposal, which posits that Evaluative Adjectives are distinct from individual-level and stage-level adjectives for being able to select an Event argument and attempt to establish a connection between this property and the prenominal adjectival position in Brazilian Portuguese in a broader sense.Keywords: adjectives; event modification; adjectival position.
Coordenação e paralelismo / Coordination and parallelism
Authors: Silva Ana Márcia Martins da
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta uma revisão de bibliografia sobre o processo de coordenação e sobre as restrições implicadas no encadeamento de determinadas categorias sintáticas. Tais restrições evitam a construção de sequências coordenadas não paralelas. Com o objetivo de chegar a um princípio de paralelismo que seja eficiente para a identificação de estruturas malformadas, o artigo discute os conceitos de coordenação de alguns autores canônicos, como Chomsky (1957), Schachter (1977), Garcia (1986), Radford (1988) e Osborne (2006). A análise de casos extraídos de textos produzidos para disciplinas de língua portuguesa por graduandos dos semestres iniciais e/ou finais de cursos de bacharelado e de licenciatura corrobora o Princípio de Paralelismo – Reformulado (PPR), proposto neste estudo.Palavras-chave: coordenação de estruturas; ausência de paralelismo; Princípio de Paralelismo – Reformulado.Abstract: This paper presents a review of the literature on coordination and on the constraints involved in coordinating certain syntactic categories. Such constraints prevent the construction of non-parallel coordinate sequences. In order to elaborate a principle of parallelism that is efficient for the identification of ill-formed structures, this paper discusses the coordination concepts of some canonical authors, such as Chomsky (1957), Schachter (1977), Garcia (1986), Radford (1988) and Osborne (2006). The analysis of cases extracted from texts produced for Portuguese language subjects by undergraduates of the initial and / or final semesters of baccalaureate and undergraduate courses corroborates the Principle of Parallelism – Reformulated (PPR), proposed in this study.Keywords: coordination of structures; absence of parallelism; Principle of Parallelism – Reformulated.
O papel da sintaxe na aquisição de adjetivos no português brasileiro / The role of syntax in the acquisition of adjectives in Brazilian Portuguese
Authors: Prim Cristina de Souza
Published: February 2019

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir como a criança adquire a sintaxe de adjetivos qualificativos. Por se tratar de uma categoria flexível, o desafio da aquisição de suas possibilidades sintáticas já é de fato esperado. Através de análise de transcrição de fala espontânea e de retomada de estudos já publicados sobre o assunto, discutiremos a hipótese de que a criança marca inicialmente um parâmetro de ordem, que permite a produção de adjetivos pós-nominais, mas que posteriormente ela precisa rever a aplicação desta regra à sua língua motivada por pistas encontradas em seu input. A ordem adjetivo-nome só surgirá quando houver uma remarcação paramétrica de sua língua de traços que são apenas fracos, com o adjetivo in situ, para uma marcação mais consistente, que pode ser tanto forte quanto fraca. Apresentamos argumentos favoráveis à análise que classifica o português brasileiro como uma língua de traços fortes opcionais, que se aplicam para adjetivos, mas também para WHs e para possessivos.Palavras-chave: aquisição de adjetivos; sintaxe de adjetivos; marcação paramétrica.Abstract: The objective of the present study is to discuss the acquisition of the syntax of qualifying adjectives by children. Due to its flexible category, the challenge to acquiring these syntactic possibilities is expected. Based on the analysis of spontaneous speech transcription, and the contributions of published studies on the subject, we raise the hypothesis that although children initially mark a parameter of order, which allows the production of postnominal adjectives, they will need to review the use of this rule in language induced by some clues in their input. The adjective name order will only emerge when a parameter remarking in their language has only weak traits, with an in situ adjective for a consistent marking, which may be either strong or weak. Therefore, we present arguments in favor of an analysis, which classifies Brazilian Portuguese as an optional strong trait language that apply to adjectives, as well as to WHs and to possessives.Keywords: adjectives acquisition, syntax of adjectives, parameter remarking.
Os verbos ir, dever e poder e seus infinitivos: sintaxe interna e externa / The verbs ir (‘go’), dever (‘must’) and poder (‘can/may’) and their infinitives: internal and external syntax
Authors: Resende Mauricio Sartori , Araújo-Adriano Paulo Ângelo de
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Este trabalho investiga as propriedades sintáticas internas (isto é, a constituição morfofonológica) e externas (ou seja, a relação com outros constituintes da sentença) dos infinitivos que ocorrem com os verbos ir, dever e poder. Mais especificamente, este artigo mostra que o comportamento sintático e semântico desses infinitivos é capturado pela depreensão de três propriedades principais, a saber, (i) formação de uma única unidade sintática com ir, dever e poder, (ii) dependência morfossintática com o verbo auxiliar/modal que lhe subcategoriza, (iii) interpretação de evento em potencial. Assim, partindo desse recorte, o presente estudo propõe uma análise à luz do quadro da Morfologia Distribuída (HALLE; MARANTZ, 1993) e, alternativamente, uma análise que assume os pressupostos do Programa Minimalista (CHOMSKY, 1993), com o objetivo de mostrar que, independentemente da teoria que se assume, com base no mesmo conjunto de traços, os fenômenos empíricos que subjazem à relação entre ir, dever e poder e seus infinitivos pode ser capturada. Palavras-chave: infinitivos; verbo auxiliar; verbo modal.Abstract: This paper investigates both internal (i.e. the morphophonological structures) and external (i.e. the relation with the other constituents of the sentence) syntactic properties of infinitives occurring with the verbs ir (‘go’) dever (‘must’) and poder (‘can/may’). More specifically, this paper shows that the syntactic and semantic behavior of those infinitives is captured by three major properties, namely, (i) the constituency of a single syntactic unit with ir, dever and poder, (ii) the morphosyntactic dependency on the auxiliary/modal that is selected, (iii) the reading of potential event. Thus, departing from those properties, the present study proposes a Distributed Morphology-based approach (HALLE; MARANTZ, 1993) analysis and, alternatively, a Minimalist-based approach (CHOMSKY, 1993) analysis, in order to show that, regardless the theory assumed, by considering the same group of features, the empirical phenomena underlying the relation between ir, dever and poder and their infinitives can be captured.Keywords: infinitives; auxiliary verb; modal verb.
La Literatura infantil y las narrativas híbridas. Canon, modos de pensamiento y educación
Authors: Encabo Fernández Eduardo , Hernández Delgado Lourdes , Sánchez Sánchez Gabriel
Published: February 2019

El objetivo de esta aportación es describir y reflexionar sobre la Literatura infantil, la lectura y el contexto actual en el que tienen lugar. La presencia de formatos audiovisuales implica la coexistencia de estos con los textos escritos motivando un determinado comportamiento en el acceso al conocimiento. El análisis de una competencia enciclopédica posiblemente fragmentada frente a la competencia literaria será objeto de discusión. Dicha competencia incidirá en un probable nuevo modo de pensamiento y, sobre todo, en la pregunta referida a, si con estas circunstancias, existe la necesidad de un canon literario. Se concluye la necesidad de un planteamiento educativo que integre tanto los formatos físicos como los audiovisuales, así como la posibilidad de contemplar otro tipo de textos como fuente de conocimiento para las nuevas generaciones. Su formación inicial basada en percepciones audiovisuales y, sobre todo, en los hipertextos motiva que el profesorado deba plantearse este tipo de cuestiones en lo que concierne a los textos a seleccionar y utilizar y en lo que respecta al modo de enseñar.

Evaluation of the “50-50 criteria” of post-hepatectomy liver failure as mortality predictor after resection of liver tumors
Authors: El-Badry Ashraf M. , Ahmed Ahmed E.
Published: February 2019

Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) represents a serious complication of liver resection. A standardized definition of PHLF based on serum total bilirubin (TB) level and prothrombin time (PT) reduction at the fifth postoperative day (POD-5) gained wide popularity.Methods: Medical records of consecutive adult patients who underwent elective liver resection for hepatic neoplasms from May 2015 to April 2018 were prospectively collected. PHLF was defined as serum total bilirubin (TB) level >50 mmol and prothrombin time (PT) reduction <50% on the fifth postoperative day (POD-5). Patients with PHLF were identified as group A and compared with group B (without PHLF) regarding postoperative complications and mortality.Results: Fifty-one patients were enrolled, forty-three with malignant (primary and secondary) neoplasms and eight with benign liver masses. Group A comprised eight patients who fulfilled the criteria of PHLF whereas 43 patients were included in group B. The mean age, gender ratio and mean number of resected liver segments were not significantly different between both groups. Patients in group A exhibited significantly increased complication rates compared with group B. Postoperative mortality occurred exclusively in group A where five among eight patients (62.5%) died postoperatively. The mortality rate was remarkably higher (100%) in cirrhotic patients who developed PHLF compared with 40% in non-cirrhotic with PHLF.Conclusions: PHLF is associated with increased severity of postoperative complications and mortality. Development of PHLF prompts intensive treatment protocol, particularly in cirrhotic patients.

Authors: Puri Vithal Prakash , Gaur Anil Kumar
Published: February 2019

Background: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain in adults. Although it is usually a self-limiting condition, the pain may become prolonged and severe enough to cause significant distress and disruption to the patient’s daily activities and work. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) and steroid injections in chronic cases of plantar fasciitis (PF).Methods: A prospective, randomized study was conducted from December 2013 to December 2015 amongst 60 patients with chronic PF were randomized prospectively in single tertiary care center in India. All the patients were enrolled according to inclusion criteria and divided into 2 groups i.e. group A (n=30) received PRP and group B (n=30) received corticosteroids injections. Roles and Maudsley score (RM Score) and Foot Function Index (FFI) was evaluated for all the included patients. The follow-up scheduled at 1 and 6 months after complete enrolment of patients.Results: Between both the groups, the significant difference was observed at 1 and 6 months follow-up from the baseline. At 1-month follow-up, statistically significant improvement in mean RM scores were seen in both the groups from baseline and when RM scores were compared between two groups, group B had statistically better mean scores. At 1-month follow-up there was no statistically significant difference between the mean FFI score values between two groups. At 6-month follow-up, statistically significant improvement in mean FFI scores were seen in both the groups, however when both groups were compared to each other, improvement in mean FFI scores was statistically better in group A as compared to group B.Conclusions: The present study concluded the use of PRP in chronic cases of plantar fasciitis seems more safe and effective in long term than the traditional treatment of steroid injection at different time period.

Background: Gastric ulcers are one of the most prevalent gastro intestinal diseases. Perforation of gastric ulcer is most common and dreaded complication of a gastric ulcer. Causes of gastric ulcer include Helicobacter Pylori, the NSAID, smoking and alcohol. Helicobacter Pylori infection is a curable cause of gastric ulcer. As prevalence of H. pylori differ in populations, prevalence of H. pylori in our population need to be assessed for determining treatment strategy for gastric ulcer.Methods: Cross sectional study conducted in patients operated for perforation peritonitis and diagnosed to have gastric ulcer perforation in a tertiary care centre. Full thickness biopsy was taken from gastric ulcer perforation edge during the surgery for perforation peritonitis. The biopsy was stained with Giemsa stain and looked for the presence of H. pylori.Results: Helicobacter pylori prevalence was 48.8% in our study. 8 females (out of 16) and 51 males (out of 105) had H. pylori positivity. 43 had history of smoking. Among them 20 were diagnosed to be having H. pylori positive. 26 persons had history of pan chewing. Among pan chewers 17 were H. pylori positive. Among 50 patients with history of alcoholism, 24 got H. pylori positivity. Among 40 patients with history of NSAIDs, 14 were positive for H. pylori.Conclusions: Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in gastric ulcer perforation in present study is 48.8%. Helicobacter Pylori eradication should be added in treatment protocols for perforated gastric ulcers.

Published: February 2019

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. A delay in performing an appendicectomy in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy increases the risk of appendicular perforation and sepsis. We prospectively compared and validated RIPASA to Alvarado scoring system when applied to an Indian population.Methods: This study included all the patients presented in General Surgery and The Emergency Department of Manipal Hospital, Bangalore diagnosed to have acute appendicitis from October 2014 to March 2016. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), diagnostic accuracy, predicted negative appendicectomy and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the RIPASA and Alvarado scoring system were derived using SPSS statistical software.Results: 75 patients were included in the study. Using the RIPASA scoring system, 97.1% of patients who actually had acute appendicitis were correctly diagnosed, compared to only 52.85% when using the Alvarado scoring system. The sensitivity and the specificity of the RIPASA scoring system is 97.14% and 60% respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of RIPASA scoring system is 94.67% and that of Alvarado scoring system is 52%. The results indicate that the RIPASA scoring system is a better diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (p<0.001).Conclusions: It is observed that the RIPASA scoring system has higher sensitivity and higher specificity compared to Alvarado scoring. It also has higher diagnostic accuracy and consequently, it has low negative appendicectomy rate. It can be concluded that the RIPASA scoring can be effectively conducted for the better evaluation of acute appendicitis.

Published: February 2019

Background: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a stroke of the eye caused by obstruction of the central retinal artery, usually by a thrombus or embolus that results in painless, disabling vision loss, hence it is an occular emergency. This study was done to know the visual outcomes in patients with CRAO.Methods: An observational study was conducted on the patients admitted with cerebrovascular accident at MediCiti Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 2yrs i.e. from January 2015 to December 2016. The study included 75 patients with Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA) that met the inclusion criteria for diagnosis of CRAO.Results: A total of 75 cases with CVA admitted to the hospital were included in the study. The age group ranged from 50 to 80 years (median age 65 years). Among these, 64 cases were associated with hypertension and 46 cases with diabetes. Six patients (8%) had CRAO with sparing of cilio-retinal artery.Conclusions: CRAO has a diverse etiology. It can vary from hypertension to even snake bite. As it is an occular emergency, Identification of under lying cause is essential during follow-up for better intervention.

Background: With the established role of computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer, and the broad application of high-resolution CT, the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) are increasingly detected. The discovery rate of pulmonary lesions is evidently elevated these days: most of them are benign, but some of them are lung cancer. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The diagnosis of this pulmonary lesion is difficult and obtaining tissue samples to conduct pathology examination is the key point. Image guided transthoracic fine needle aspiration (TTFNA) of lung lesions is a well established, safe, and rapid method for achieving a definitive diagnosis for most lung lesions.Methods: TTFNA were performed in 160 patients attended the OPD and admitted due to pulmonary lesions between September 2016 and May 2017. After detailed characterization by computed tomography and compared with chest x-ray, TTFNA was done. Number of attempts, reasons for multiple attempts, and final FNAC diagnosis were recorded.Results: When CT guidance was used sufficient material was obtained in 91.03% of patients, but with USG guidance insufficient material was reason for repeated attempts in nearly 25.25% of cases. Bloody aspirate was reason in total 13.54% patients and there was no significant difference between CT guidance and USG guidance (14.29% v/s 13.13% respectively). Again only inflammatory cells was reason for repeated attempts, in CT guidance 8.93% and in USG guidance 20.20%, attributed to localization of needle in both techniques.Conclusions: CT guided FNAC should be considered in diagnosis of lung lesions if computerized tomography is not contraindicated. Further, routine need for advanced imaging techniques like 3D computerized tomographic study for localizing lesions in lung to reduce the number of attempts should be considered.
