Semiotic Structure of Traditional Japanese Rural Space: Hagikura Village, Suwa Basin
Authors: Imazato Satoshi
Published: February 2020

This paper analyzes the semiotic structure of rural space in a traditional Japanese village, with an economic base of agriculture and forestry, mainly before the end of the country’s era of rapid economic growth. This examination defines the interrelationships among the domains of spatial classifications within the village: social space, land-use zones, folk taxonomy, places, village boundaries, symbolic space, and orientation. An abstract system of relationships can be regarded as the spatial deep structure (langue), in contrast to the surface-level structure of rural landscape (parole).
Narrative approaches to lyric poetry: On Kim Sowöl’s 'The Azaleas'
Authors: Choi Yong Ho
Published: February 2020

This paper aims at illustrating how narrative theories can apply to the analysis of lyric poetry with an example from Korean literature: The Azaleas by Kim Sowöl. This poem in seven-and-five-syllable meter as well as with its thematic aspect that is concerned with lamentation or broken heart is considered the most representative of the folkloric tradition in the history of Korean lyric poetry. Based on Hühn’s work on “Transgeneric narratology”, I proposed here to analyze the so-called mental story of this poem from a narratological point of view that covers, among many others, the following three topics: i) text and norm; ii) story and discourse; iii) thematic and narrative. First, reading a poetic text inevitably leads us to the poetic tradition serving as an interpretative norm, whether it is explicit or implicit. So the image of scattering flowers in this poem, for instance, cannot be fully understood without reference to the Buddhist tradition in which it is interpreted in terms of charity or mercy. Second, the mental story relative to this symbolic act is doubly mediated – put in narrative terms, by a voice that speaks on the one hand and, on the other by eyes that see - so as to manifest itself in the form of a poetic discourse. Third, the narrative strategy at work in this poem, here considered in Greimas’ terms, pinpoints the ironic aspect of its thematic: so the story of parting in appearance turns out to be a love returning in the end.

Eye-tracking the semiotic effects of layout on viewing print advertisements
Authors: Damaskinidis George , Kourdis Evangelos , Zantides Evrpides , Sykioti Eleni
Published: February 2020

The print advertisement produces meaning for its readers through the interaction of a complex system of semiotic elements. Understanding this meaning is based on readers’ ability to follow the established reading conventions of their culture. The article describes a study that uses eye-tracking technology to examine readers’ interaction with the semiotic elements of two print advertisements. The relation between print advertisements and semiotics is informed by intersemiotic analysis and the reading path concept. The advertisements’ layout is rearranged to form two sets of texts: one original advertisement and a modified version. We have calculated the time sequence in which visual and verbal areas attract attention, the amount of time spent on them and the depth of attention paid to the areas read. The results show how layout re-arrangement affects reading behaviour, such as reading the smallest visual first and the target text sequentially without visual elements interrupting the reading, or having the same point of entry in both the original and the modified advertisements.

A carne de frango apresenta grande aceitabilidade sensorial e menor custo dentre as proteínas animais do mercado varejista. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade bacteriológica em 15 amostras de sobrecoxa de frango comercializados em mercados públicos e feiras livres localizados na Grande Recife, investigando a presença/ausência de enteropatógenos alimentares. Como resultado, obteve-se a ausência de Salmonella spp. em todas as amostras. Os coliformes termotolerantes apresentaram crescimento dentro de parâmetros estabelecidos por legislação sanitária. Apesar da norma sanitária que norteia o padrão microbiológico de alimentos não determinar a investigação de coliformes totais, a presença deste grupo de bactérias, informa que o ambiente de comercialização estão insalubres e passíveis de veiculação de patógenos ou deteriorantes. Portanto, as sobrecoxas de frango do comércio informal em estudo, estão em conformidade com o que preconiza a legislação em vigor. Entretanto, necessita que os gestores e manipuladores de alimentos observem as boas práticas de manipulação, na perspectiva de minimizar o aparecimento de surtos alimentares e desordem na saúde pública.

Authors: Conti Thais F. , Ohlhausen Marc , Hom Grant L. , Talcott Katherine E. , Golshani Cyrus , Choudhry Netan , Singh Rishi P.
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference between widefield confocal scanning laser imaging (WSLO) and widefield broad line fundus (WBLF) imaging in their ability to view the peripheral retina in routine clinical practice.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

A retrospective chart review identified patients within routine clinical practice who were imaged with a WSLO image and a single and montaged WBLF image. The primary outcome was the number of ultra-widefield quadrants captured utilizing the UWF consensus definitions. Secondary outcomes included the area within each of quadrant and the differences in clinical grading between modalities.

RESULTS:

More vortex ampullae were identified with the WSLO than either single image or montage WBLF image. The WSLO captured 116 of the possible 260 vortex ampullae (45%) in comparison to the WBLF single image (8 of 260; 3%) and WBLF montage (96 of 260; 37%). Only five eyes from WSLO and no images from the WBLF single image met the ultra-widefield consensus definition in routine clinical practice. The average area per individual quadrant acquired by WSLO image was greater than the single or montage WBLF image (781.67 mm

Online Strategic Discussion Forum
Authors: Boulder Tinukwa C.
Published: February 2020

This chapter explores empirical research about online discussions to identify effective strategies for designing online discussions. A secondary objective is to summarize pertinent models of online discussions to develop an integrated model of online discussions. The integrated model provides instructional designers, faculty developers, and faculty members with a coherent framework for designing, facilitating, and participating in online discussions to meet the needs of adult learners. The review of literature showed that quality design of online discussion stimulates meaningful learning and supports a community of inquiry among learners. Scholars distinguish between two types of online discussions: convention, and strategic discussions. The consensus in the literature is that effective online discussions should be intrinsically motivating, support critical thinking and self-direction, as well as promote the negotiation of meaning and co-construction of knowledge. Lastly, the instructor should play an active role in the discussion forum.

Authors: Negi Ashish , Sharma Saurabh
Published: February 2020

Breast cancer is one of the main health issues for women. This disease can be cured only if detected at early stages. Digital mammography is used to detect the malignant cells at an early stage. This article designs a methodology to detect the malignant tumors. The methodology is comprised of preprocessing feature extraction by Gabor and Law's feature extraction, and feature reduction by ant-lion optimization as well as a classification step using a SVM classifier which is implemented on the live dataset prepared through the Rajindra Hospital Patiala along with MIAS and DDSM datasets. The results of proposed techniques have been compared with three states of art techniques SVM based classification without feature reduction, PSOWNN i.e. PSO based reduction with a neural network as a classifier and binary gray wolf-based feature reduction with SVM classifier. The performance analysis proves the significance of the technique.
The Clinical Informatization in Portugal
Authors: Pereira Soraia , Silva Lara , Machado José , Cabral Alexandra
Published: February 2020

In the context of the Technological Revolution, people are forced to change their way of being in order to survive in an increasingly competitive and efficient society. The healthcare sector is no exception. The clinical informatization brought a lot of changes in procedures and ways to act and manage in order to follow the advent of the Information Age. However, this clinical informatization should be evaluated and measured in order to report the actual stage of dematerialization and identify possible improvements. The maturity models, such as the EMRAM model, are good candidates to reach these goals. On behalf of the Health Ministry, the Portuguese Shared Services of the Ministry of Health wanted to implement the model in the National Health Service to certify, at a clinical level, the institutions, and, at the same time, contribute with a new methodology to ensure the certification of administrative services of health institutions.
Factors in Information Assurance Professionals' Intentions to Adhere to Information Security Policies
Authors: Muller S. Raschid , Lind Mary L.
Published: February 2020

Information security policies (ISPs) serve to clarify and formalize organizational information security practices and reduce data risks, but research shows that ISP noncompliance remains a prominent concern for both scholars and practitioners. This study utilized the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) to explore factors that predict information assurance professionals' behavioral intentions to comply with ISPs. The research question addressed: To what extent do performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, and habit predict information assurance professionals' behavioral intention to comply with information security policies in organizations? A nonexperimental, cross-sectional research design using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) addressed the research question with information assurance professionals in government agencies where habit emerged as the important component of ISP compliance with hedonic factors having a negative impact.
Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator: when not to implant
Authors: La Rovere Maria Teresa , Traversi Egidio
Published: February 2020

The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the mainstay therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction. Current indications for prophylactic ICD are based on the results of randomized controlled trials dating back to 15-20 years ago, which have usually enrolled highly selected patients with few comorbidities and only a small number of patients aged >75 years. Existing literature suggest an age-dependent attenuation of the efficacy of the ICD. Because of the ageing of the population, there is need for data addressing device efficacy among older patients that also considers the impact of geriatric syndromes on health status. The assessment of frailty may be of value in identifying elderly patients who may or may not benefit from ICD placement for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death.
Climate change impacts on snow and streamflow drought regimes in four ecoregions of British Columbia
Authors: Dierauer Jennifer R. , Allen Diana M. , Whitfield Paul H.
Published: February 2020

Abstract. In many regions with seasonal snow cover, summer streamflow is primarily sustained by groundwater that is recharged during the snowmelt period. Therefore, below-normal snowpack (snow drought) may lead to below-normal summer streamflow (streamflow drought). Summer streamflow is important for supplying human needs and sustaining ecosystems. Climate change impacts on snow have been widely studied, but the relationship between snow drought and streamflow drought is not well understood. In this study, a combined investigation of climate change impacts on snow drought and streamflow drought was completed using generic groundwater – surface water models for four headwater catchments in different ecoregions of British Columbia. Results show that, in response to increased precipitation and temperature, the snow drought regime changes substantially for all four catchments. Warm snow droughts, which are caused by above-normal winter temperatures, increase in frequency, and dry snow droughts, which are caused by below-normal winter precipitation, decrease in frequency. The shift toward more frequent and severe temperature-related snow droughts leads to decreased summer runoff, decreased summer groundwater storage, and more extreme low flows in summer. Moreover, snow droughts propagate into summer streamflow droughts more frequently in the future time periods (2050s, 2080s) as compared to the baseline 1980s period. Thus, warm snow droughts not only become more frequent and severe in the future but also more likely to result in summer streamflow drought conditions.
The Short Life of the Fushiminomiya Japanese Collection at the Library of Hawai‘i, 1936–1942
Authors: Wertheimer Andrew B.
Published: February 2020

Honolulu's public library, the Library of Hawai‘i, was home to one of America's earliest Asian American collections. The Fushimi Memorial Library was created by a Japanese immigrant association to serve the ethnic community, which made up roughly 40% of the Territory of Hawai‘i. This article explores the library's rationale, and how the community worked with philanthropists in the community as well as in Japan to build the collection, as well as the organization's struggles with funding and its host. It concludes by examining the tragic end of the library following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The article briefly also explores the collection, and programs offered by this unique community library. This history had all but been forgotten, yet is an important part of America's diverse library history.
“At the Proscenium Pillar”: The Evolution of Thornton Wilder's Stage Manager
Authors: Hamlett Bonnie Georgette
Published: February 2020

Perhaps the most famous and recognizable figure in Thornton Wilder's plays is the Stage Manager. The Stage Manager first appears in his one-act plays The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden and Pullman Car Hiawatha and most notably in Our Town. This article examines Wilder's Stage Manager characters using as a framework criteria derived from the four fundamental conditions of drama outlined in his 1941 essay “Some Thoughts on Playwriting.” Tracing Wilder's development of this character from the early one-act plays through his later plays, The Skin of Our Teeth and The Alcestiad, reveals that, in the latter two instances, characters who are not explicitly given the title of Stage Manager nonetheless fulfill the role outlined in this article. The recurring appearance of the Stage Manager figure suggests an evolving convention in Wilder's dramaturgy.

The barriers preventing pregnant women from accessing midwife-led antenatal care in Nigeria
Authors: Nwankwo Clementina U. , Ezenwaka Chidum E.
Published: February 2020

Background: Nigeria records high maternal deaths despite available antenatal care services in the country. This review aims to synthesise literature on barriers affecting access to midwife-led antenatal care (ANC) among pregnant women in Nigeria.Methods: This is a systematic literature review and involved searching of studies done in Nigeria and published between 2007 and 2018. MEDLINE 1946 to present, CINAHL, JBI, and Pubmed Central were electronically searched to identify studies on barriers affecting access to midwife-led ANC among pregnant women in Nigeria. Reference lists were hand-searched, Grey literature; Google scholar, and NuSearch e-dissertation were also searched.  Citation chaining was also used. Twenty articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria while only seven out of the twenty were included in the review after quality appraisal.Results: The data synthesis of the literature review showed disproportionate absence of the use of midwife-led ANC in this population. Several barriers were identified in the various works reviewed. The identified core barriers are economic relating to issues like high costs of services, poverty, unemployment, financial barriers; personal barrier relates to lack of autonomy, greater convenience of using other services and personal preference, low maternal educational levels, lack of information on healthcare services/ignorance about required health services, maternal age, marital status, parity/number of children; environmental relates to distance to health facility, location of residence/rural dwellers, geographical location, lack of transportation, and farness of ANC service provider; and cultural barriers relates to husband’s permission, culture of patriarchy, traditional beliefs, cultural sensitivity, cultural perception of the role of TBAs, ethnicity.Conclusions: This review highlights the need to thoroughly explore and address context-based barriers affecting access to midwife-led ANC in order to make safe motherhood a reality in Nigeria. The principal solution to these identified barriers is antenatal education by midwives which will help to empower women thereby increasing their access to midwife-led ANC. \textit{Recommendations:} Government/Policy makers should allocate sufficient fund to maternal healthcare and health promotion. They should improve ANC use by making it available, accessible and affordable to all women in Nigeria irrespective of their area of residence. Also incorporate in the educational curriculum of the approved schools of midwifery in Nigeria the suggested midwifery strategies such as named midwife, team midwife, caseload midwifery.Midwives should avail themselves of update courses in midwifery; play the necessary roles of a midwife especially being women-centered; develop interest in conducting midwifery research and using the best available evidence in their practice.

Published: February 2020

Honey is the most popular bee product consumed by humans. It is known for its nutritional properties and health benefits, which include neuroprotective effects, the support of the circulatory system, and the beneficial influence it has on skin and respiratory system disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of water temperature used for the preparation of honey solutions on their antioxidant potential.
Material and methods. The study material included buckwheat honey, black locust honey, and rape honey. Honey solutions (1%) were prepared using distilled water with the temperatures: 25°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The antioxidant activity of samples was measured with spectrophotometric method using synthetic radical DPPH.
The antioxidant activity of honey was between 0.29 to 78.50% of DPPH inhibition, depending on the type of honey and the temperature of water used for the preparation of solutions. Buckwheat honey was characterised by the highest antioxidant potential. A significant, directly proportional correlation was observed between the antioxidant potential and the temperature of buckwheat and rape II honey solutions.
In the case of buckwheat honey, rape honey I and black locust honey, the highest antioxidant potential was achieved in solutions prepared using distilled water at 90°C, whereas in the case of rape honey II, the highest values were observed at 80°C and 90°C. The lowest inhibition of the DPPH radical was observed in solutions at 70°C in all of the honey types. In the case of the studied honeys, it is even advisable to prepare water solutions at 80°C or 90°C in order to increase its antioxidant potential, e.g. by adding honey to tea or milk.

Vários médicos mudam suas escolhas de carreira devido a inúmeros fatores influenciadores, porém, muitos também estão inclinados a determinadas especialidades que lhes garantam alto padrão econômico ou prestígio na sociedade independente das exigências. Assim como em outros campos de trabalho, a Medicina, e mais especificamente a cirurgia, passa por um processo elevado de competição, com um número grande de pessoas interessadas a se destacarem no mercado. A atuação na área cirúrgica necessita de muitas qualidades pessoais e profissionais, algumas dessas são adquiridas com treinamento durante a universidade ou algum curso e outras são inerentes à personalidade do indivíduo. Através de metodologia específica, todas as possibilidades de influência de fatores internos e externos na escolha da área cirúrgica, e observado que de forma geral o “ser cirurgião” possui muitas particularidades, a hipótese levantada por esta pesquisa é que: o perfil idealizado do cirurgião aliado a um conjunto de habilidades e competências prévias, relacionadas a personalidade, são fundamentais para a escolha pela área cirúrgica em estudantes de Medicina, enquanto que o objetivo geral é analisar quais são os principais fatores que influenciam os estudantes de Medicina e os profissionais já atuantes a escolherem a carreira cirúrgica. Este estudo qualitativo descritivo e transversal será realizado com estudantes de medicina que possuem interesse na área cirúrgica de três diferentes universidades da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte através de um questionário estruturado criado pelos autores.

Objetivo: Objetiva-se compreender os fatores que influenciam no absenteísmo na Unidade de Pronto Atendimento. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa. A coleta dos dados foi realizada com os técnicos de enfermagem de uma Instituição Hospitalar de grande porte de Belo Horizonte/MG. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa das Instituições participantes, CAAE: nº 62514216.4.0000.5137. Utilizou-se do referencial teórico proposto por Minayo para análise das entrevistas. Resultados: Após a transcrição das entrevistas, organização e análise dos dados, foram construídas três categorias de análise, sendo elas: fatores que contribuem para o absenteísmo na Enfermagem; consequências do absenteísmo e estratégias utilizadas para redução do absenteísmo. Entre as consequências levantadas no estudo, prevaleceram a sobrecarga e o estresse, que afetam a qualidade de vida do profissional, comprometendo o seu desempenho no cuidado com o paciente e, em particular, a sua própria saúde, além de contribuir para o aumento do absenteísmo dos profissionais. Considerações finais: Feitas essas considerações, será possível traçar estratégias e mecanismos capazes de minimizar as causas e os reflexos do absenteísmo, visando à melhoria da prestação dos serviços de saúde ofertados pela Unidade de Pronto Atendimento e nos serviços executados pelos profissionais de Enfermagem.
Antonio Candido e Mário de Andrade (anotações preliminares)
Authors: Otsuka Edu Teruki
Published: February 2020

Embora geralmente reconhecida, a importância do pensamento e do exemplo de Mário de Andrade como teórico e crítico para o desenvolvimento das concepções de Antonio Candido ainda não foi objeto de investigação sistemática, com mapeamento de paralelos, afinidades e divergências nas ideias e na orientação. Neste artigo, procuro examinar alguns pontos de contato em textos dos dois intelectuais, tomando como eixo o debate sobre “arte livre” e “arte participante” dos anos 1940 no Brasil, e destacando a centralidade da noção de técnica na reflexão de Mário de Andrade sobre a função social da arte.

Resumo
Ao mestre, com saudade
Authors: Chiappini Ligia
Published: February 2020

O texto se ampara em algumas obras fundamentais para pensar a educação cidadã e o papel formador de quem a ela dedica o seu trabalho, com ȇnfase na Universidade, onde essa questão é frequentemente relegada aos cursos de pedagogia, sem que seja considerada suficientemente relevante por quem lida com as outras disciplinas. Trata-se de homenagear o Mestre a partir de uma reflexão sobre esse conceito, concebendo-o como  orientador, guia e exemplo,  sobretudo em tempos “do contra”, quando a defesa da vida e dos direitos humanos exige um pensamento militante e uma militancia pensante. De um lado, o Mestre como presenca decisiva ao longo do convívio com seus/suas aprendizes, mas, de outro, como alguém que sabe retirar-se no momento certo, permitindo-lhes empreender o próprio vôo.
Antonio Candido ou direito à poesia
Authors: Oliveira Waltencir Alves de
Published: February 2020

O artigo analisa o livro Na sala de aula: caderno de análise literária, de Antonio Candido, situando-o no contexto amplo da obra crítica, teórica e historiográfica do autor. “O caderno”, como o denomina o próprio Candido, foi apresentado em sua primeira edição como uma coletânea de exercícios críticos de análise de poesia. É transcrição quase fiel de um conjunto de seis ensaios analíticos apresentados em um curso de pós-graduação, ministrado pelo professor. A alusão à sala de aula, desde o título da obra, explicita o vínculo estreito entre o professor e o crítico. O que se pretende discutir é como o modelo analítico empregado e como a própria seleção e ordenação dos poemas analisados desvelam, ainda que de forma implícita, a vinculação estreita entre a atividade crítica e todo o conjunto da obra teórico-historiográfica de Antonio Candido. A hipótese que se pretende verificar é como na análise de poesia, Antonio Candido deixa antever os mesmos pressupostos que nortearam todo o conjunto de sua obra.

Authors: Abbasian Reza , Biria Reza
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate English language textbooks of grade 7, 8 and 9 in theIranian Pedagogical curriculum to see to what extent students are exposed to national, international and target cultural familiar content in their classes. As Gurkan (2012) and Ganjabi (2014) say students who are familiar to cultural content of the target language have better reading comprehension scores than those who lack familiarity to target language cultural content. Since culturally familiar content of language in international and target level increases learners‟ comprehension almost in all skills, textbooks are one of their real manifestations in curriculum.The study also intended to investigate how the content of English textbooks represents national, international and target culturally familiar content for students to be well-prepared to convey their own culture to foreigners as well as to be acquainted with other cultures that they have contact with for any means anywhere in the virtual and real places. Content analysis method was used and a coding scheme was designed according to items listed in Byram‟scultural content checklist (1993). The findings of this qualitative study showed that ELT textbooks covered a restricted range of international cultural content as well as target cultural content; moreover, the result revealed that just restricted amount of national culturally familiar content are applied in the English language textbooks. Based on the results of the study, some directions would be
suggested to be appliedin the English language syllabus; moreover, the results can be used by teachers as a direction for adding some supplementary and complementary materials to develop English language textbooks in education for effective communication.
ROMANIAN TRAVELLERS TO ENGLAND IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. NATIONAL SPECIFICITY IN ION CODRUDRĂGUȘANU’S TRAVEL ACCOUNTS
Authors: Culea Mihaela , Suciu Andreia-Irina
Published: February 2020

The complexity of the travelling experience cannot be understood outside the scope of
culture (see, for instance, Schulz-Forberg 2005) and travelling is thus often discussed in
relation to the human being‟s thirst for knowledge, intellectual or spiritual enlightenment, aesthetic refinement, often as a result of cultural contact, interaction, transfer or exchange. The travelling experiences of Romanian travellers to England through the centuries have been inspired by many of these goals. This paper focuses on the travel accounts of a little known Romanian traveller to England in the nineteenth century, namely, writer, teacher, journalist and politician Ion Codru-Drăgușanu (1818–1884). His travel accounts reveal that travelling was perceived as a source of intellectual improvement, maturation, cultural development, interaction and exchange, as a process of gaining knowledge, an experience also counterbalanced by a tourist‟s adventure dominated by curiosity, pleasure and amusement. In order to reveal how this shift takes place and the multi-fold significance of the travelling experience as such, the paper‟s structure combines theoretical data with textual study and seeks to rediscover forgotten personalities of the Romanian culture who made English-Romanian encounters more numerous and productive. Firstly, the paper presents the conceptual distinctions between the term traveller and other related words, such as voyager, tourist, pilgrim, explorer, or migrant. Secondly, it makes a brief overview of travelling in history and of travel writing with the purpose of contextualizing Codru-Drăgușanu‟s travels. Thirdly, the synoptic presentation of the literary background related to travels to and from Romania in the nineteenth century as well as the brief review of the historical and cultural context specific to England in that period assist us in our exploration of the written accounts of travels recorded by CodruDrăgușanu in his Peregrinul transilvan. 1835–1848 (The Transylvanian Traveller. 1835– 1848).
