Language, Dialect And Register Sociolinguistic Perspective
Authors: Budiarsa I Made
Published: March 2017

Sociolinguistics pays attention to the social aspects of human language. Sociolinguistics discusses the relationship between language and society. In the following part of this paper, it will be focussed on the use of (1) language (2) dialects, (3) language variation, (4) social stratification, (5) register. This discussion talks about the five types of those topics because they are really problematic sort of things, which relate the social life of the local people. In relation to this, the most important point is to distinguish the terms from one to another. There are three main points to discuss: language, dialects and register. Languages which are used as medium of communication have many varieties. These language variations are created by the existence of social stratification in the community. Social stratification will determine the form of language use by the speakers who involve in the interaction. The language variation can be in the form of dialects and register. Dialect of a language correlates with such social factors such as socio-economic status, age, occupation of the speakers. Dialect is a variety of a particular language which is used by a particular group of speakers that is signaled by systematic markers such as syntactical, phonological, grammatical markers. Dialects which are normally found in the speech community may be in the forms of regional dialect and social dialect. Register is the variation of language according to the use. It means that where the language is used as a means of communication for certain purposes. It depends entirely on the domain of language used. It is also a function of all the other components of speech situation. A formal setting may condition a formal register, characterized by particular lexical items. The informal setting may be reflected in casual register that indicates less formal vocabulary, more non-standard features, greater instances of stigmatized variables, and so on.Keywords: language, dialect, register and sociolinguistic.
La virtualidad como componente de la Unidad Didáctica Modular en los curso s teórico - prácticos de la UNED
Authors: Amerling Quesada Carolina , González Solórzano Fiorella
Published: March 2017

Los cursos teórico prácticos poseen características propias como el volumen del contenido, el seguimiento al estudiante, la actualización, la mejora constante y el componente práctico, enmarcadas dentro de un diseño curricular que permiten que se impartan utilizando las plataformas virtuales de aprendizaje. Estas ofrecen ventajas tales como flexibilidad, interacción entre participantes, construcción del conocimiento, mejora en el currículo, seguimiento al estudiante y realimentación. Sin embargo, también debe considerarse una serie de desventajas tales como problemas de accesibilidad, cantidad de tiempo invertido, necesidad de capacitación y poco conocimiento del uso del medio. Para evaluar su uso, se realizó una entrevista a una muestra de personal calificado de14 personas compuesta por 3 del área administrativa y 11 del área pedagógica, quienes consideraron que deben tomarse en cuenta también una serie de elementos pedagógicos involucrados en el proceso de incorporar plataformas virtuales educativas dentro de los cursos, los cuales son la construcción del aprendizaje, el acercamiento entre los involucrados, el desarrollo de habilidades, la mediación y la motivación. Otra de las opiniones documentada establece queexisten ciertos requerimientos institucionales a nivel educativo tales como la necesidad de planificar las actividades, el que exista un encargado de cátedra capacitado en el manejo  adecuado de las plataformas virtuales de aprendizaje, la necesidad de capacitar tanto al tutor como al estudiante y el llevar a cabo el reconocimiento del tiempo real invertido cuando el curso posee componentes dentro de la plataforma virtual. De igual manera, la institución debe contar con requerimientos administrativos que permitan incorporar adecuadamente las plataformas dentro de la unidad didáctica modular de dichoscursos teórico - prácticos, que son el apoyo en el diseño y la planificación, además de las capacitaciones obligatorias, la accesibilidad al usuario y contar con lineamientos oficiales, así como una adecuada utilidad de la plataforma. Otro tipo de requerimientos para esta incorporación son de índole administrativa. Por ejemplo, la capacitación pertinente, la planificación, el contar con equipo, políticas y lineamientos adecuados; sin dejar de lado el papel del equipo  asesor. Todo esto para lograr que la incorporación de la plataforma virtual educativa se desarrolle bajo un marco estructurado.

Metateoría sobre la Juventud en dificultad social. Transición a la vida adulta
Authors: Fernández García Ana
Published: March 2017

La investigación que se presenta analiza la transición de los jóvenes a la vida adulta. Tras la lectura de documentos especializados, se evidencia que esta evolución es muy complicada, incierta e indefinida. Más aún, para los jóvenes que presentan un cúmulo de problemáticas sociales persistentes, múltiples desventajas y vulnerabilidad social. Respecto a la metodología, se ha realizado un análisis metateórico sobre artículos de investigación especializados en el tema ubicados en revistas científicas. Los estudios analizados ponen de relieve que el concepto de juventud se suele descomponer en tres aspectos básicos que caracterizan a la vida adulta: dejar de convivir con los padres y establecer un hogar propio, conseguir un empleo estable que conlleve a la independencia económica y crear un núcleo familiar con pareja e hijos. La juventud es una etapa crucial en la vida de toda persona, un momento clave en la construcción de una identidad laboral y personal. La mediación educativa constituye un soporte esencial para fortalecer y apoyar en este tránsito a los jóvenes más vulnerables. Ante ello, las administraciones y los gobiernos deben fortalecer medidas de apoyo a estos jóvenes. Ninguna sociedad puede prescindir de los jóvenes si desea construir una comunidad cohesionada con la finalidad de fortalecer el necesario reemplazo generacional.

Published: March 2017

Introduction. Self-poisoning is not frequent during pregnancy. We present a successful treatment of a woman 20 weeks pregnant with twins with self-inflicted poisoning by a caustic substance. Case outline. A 34-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to our institution after self-inflicted poisoning with concentrated acetic acid. Initial clinical evaluation showed severe diffuse erythema of the mouth and oropharynx, a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy in the 20th week of gestation confirmed on abdominal ultrasound. An indirect laryngoscopic examination revealed severe generalized hyperemia of the laryngeal mucosa with corrosive changes in the pharyngeal mucosa, especially of the posterior pharyngeal wall. Due to pain, urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy could not be performed, and because of the patient?s refusal a feeding gastrostomy or jejunostomy could not be created. The patient was given ?all-in-one? total parenteral nutrition in addition to other supportive therapy. Gradual introduction of enteral nutrition via a nasoenteric tube placed in the second month of hospitalization failed due to severe vomiting. After almost three months of total parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition was nevertheless introduced; we then started with oral fluids, increasing gradually to a regular diet, and needed almost half a month to reach the adequate nutritional goal. The delivery was spontaneous at the 36th week of pregnancy and the patient gave birth to two normal healthy girls (46 cm / 2,580 g and 48 cm / 2,960 g, respectively). Conclusion. Total parenteral nutrition can be a safe choice for providing prolonged and adequate nutritional intake even in a twin pregnancy without adverse effects on fetal growth.

Introduction/Objective. In August 2010, World Health Organization declared the beginning of the postpandemic phase of influenza surveillance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological and virological characteristics of influenza and correlation between the influenza occurrence and weather conditions. Methods. We used surveillance reports of influenza and laboratory data from October 2010 to May 2015. Data for the analysis were collected through sentinel surveillance of influenza-like illness (ILI), severe acute respiratory illness (SARI), acute respiratory distress syndrome, and by virological surveillance. The nasal and throat swabs from all influenza cases were performed by the PCR laboratory method. Results. During the observed period, the highest rates of ILI were registered during the 2010/11 and 2012/13 seasons, with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B being predominant, respectively. The highest weekly age-specific rates of ILI were registered in school-age children (ages 5?14). Out of 1,466 samples collected, 720 (49.1%) were laboratory confirmed as influenza, and influenza A virus was more frequently detected than influenza B. Among confirmed cases of influenza, participation of patients with SARI or ILI was nearly equal (46% vs. 44.1%). There was a weak correlation observed between the decrease in temperature and rainfall and the increase in influenza detection (? = -0.04214 vs. ? = -0.01545, respectively, p > 0.05). Conclusion. There is a need for continuous surveillance in order to predict seasonal trends and prepare for a timely response to influenza outbreak.

A Framework for Improving Routing Configurations using Multi-Objective Optimization Mechanisms
Authors: Sousa Pedro , Pereira Vitor , Cortez Paulo , Rio Miguel , Rocha Miguel
Published: March 2017

IP networks are nowadays well established technologiesbeing used to support a myriad of applications and services,thus assuming a crucial role in todays telecommunication systems. Nevertheless, such infrastructures usually require network administrators to perform a wide set of complex planning and management tasks trying to attain adequate network configurations. Many of such management tasks can be mathematically formulated as NP-hard optimization problems, sometimes involving several objective functions. In this context, this work explores and demonstrates the potential of using computational intelligence methods as optimization engines to tackle complex network optimization problems. In particular, Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are used to attain near-optimal link state routing configurations robust to distinct operational conditions. As result, network administrators will be provided with a set of alternative routing configurations representing distinct tradeoffs between the considered optimization goals. The robustness of the proposed methods is illustrated by presenting several multiobjective optimization examples able to improve the performance and resilience levels of a network infrastructure. In this perspective, this work presents a contribution for this research area by proposing specific MOEAs based optimization methods able to improve network routing configurations. Furthermore, the devised methods are also integrated in a freely available Traffic Engineering optimization framework able to be used by network administrators interested in improving the routing configurations of their network infrastructures.

Published: March 2017

Com a chegada da Família Real portuguesa ao Rio de Janeiro em 1808, o centro de poder imperial transferia-se para a América. Acompanhada de pessoas importantes da nobreza, a Coroa também transladou consigo apetrechos e muitos simbolismos – refletidos, especialmente, na Casa Real – o que tentaria garantir uma adequada permanência da realeza em terras americanas. Dentre os súditos ilustrados da monarquia, destacamos o bibliotecário Luís Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos, personagem central da discussão deste artigo, cujo objetivo primeiro está em problematizar a natureza das relações interatlânticas entre os papeis impressos e manuscritos da Coroa na primeira metade do século XIX. Ao situarmos tais balizas, o texto tem como foco três principais temáticas a serem examinadas: a) a vida do bibliotecário Luís Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos entre bibliotecas e a prática de escrita de cartas; b) sua relação com os manuscritos da Coroa; e c) a sistematização e catalogação que preparou sobre a documentação manuscrita da coroa portuguesa.
“Por ser nova de grande alegria para este reino, se pôs nessa Gazeta”: A circulação de notícias e a Gazeta ‘da Restauração’ em Portugal (1641-1647)
Authors: Mendes Caroline Garcia
Published: March 2017

A circulação de notícias no continente europeu tem sido tema de diversos trabalhos nos últimos anos. Para além de produções individuais, criadas e voltadas exclusivamente para determinadas nações, entende-se que o periodismo impresso foi um movimento ocorrido em diferentes partes da Europa que se iniciou em meados do século XVII. Em Portugal isso não foi diferente. Em novembro de 1641, um ano após a Restauração portuguesa e aclamação de Dom João IV, começou a circular em Lisboa a chamada Gazeta da Restauração, periódico considerado o primeiro daquele país, que continha, em sua maioria, notícias relacionadas às batalhas contra Castela nas fronteiras portuguesas. A publicação possuía autorização régia e apresentava constantemente exaltação à nova Coroa. Seu caráter mensal se estendeu de novembro de 1641 a julho de 1642, quando foi suspensa, podendo retornar a circular meses depois, em novo formato. O presente artigo tem o intuito, assim, de discorrer acerca deste periódico e analisar alguns dos temas presentes em suas páginas, pensando em seus impressores e editores e no momento vivido por aquela sociedade, em que a cultura periódica começava a se estabelecer.

Authors: Tariq Hafiz Muhammad
Published: March 2017

The Holy Quran was revealed to the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) by Allah Almighty as a final revelation for the whole of mankind. After the time of the Prophet Mohammed, his fellow scholars began writing commentaries on the holy Quran to understand its meaning and its context. The Mufassireen have concluded that the Quran has two types of verses; Muhkam are verses which are clear and have no dispute as to what they actually mean. Mutashabih are verses which have two or more than two options for the readers to infer their meaning and such verses have been open to debate amongst the Islamic scholars. This paper attempts to provide the correct definitions of Muhkam and Mutashabih verses based on the opinions of the classical and modern scholars. Based on the views of the modern and classical scholars, the researcher discusses the different varieties of these two types of verses and removes any objections and contradictions between the two attempting to clear up any such misconceptions. The philosophical reasoning behind the revelation of Mukham and Mutashabih verses is also tackled within this paper to ensure all areas and opinions are covered, giving an unbiased understanding of the subject

Bandung is one of cities that creates various innovations. One of the innovations has been done in the infrastructure sector, namely the implementation of Rapid Response Unit of Road Patch (URCTJ). URCTJ reacts to the potholes locations (street with plenty small holes) but not to the overall damaged road. The mechanism that can be done by public society to inform about the damaged road is by informing the situation directly to the Dinas Bina Marga dan Pengairan Bandung City or to the nearest urban village. Moreover, citizens can send their complaints via SMS, phone, email or twitter. The quality of repaired road is the same as the previous one (before the road was damaged). With a good road quality, the distributions of goods/services in Bandung is getting easier. Meanwhile, in case of accident rate, URCTJ has not shown much improvement due to many factors that influence it.Keywords: effectiveness, rapid response unit,innovation.Bandung merupakan salah satu daerah yang aktif menciptakan berbagai inovasi. Inovasi yang dilakukan dalam bidang infrastruktur adalah peluncuran Unit Reaksi Cepat Tambal Jalan (URCTJ). URCTJ bekerja pada lokasi jalan yang berlubang (jalan dengan lubang yang kecil dan banyak), bukan pada jalan yang rusak secara keseluruhan. Mekanisme yang dapat dilakukan oleh masyarakat ketika hendak memberikan informasi mengenai jalan rusak adalah dengan menyampaikan langsung kepada Dinas Bina Marga dan Pengairan (DBMP) Kota Bandung atau ke kelurahan terdekat. Masyarakat pun dapat menyampaikan keluhannya melalui short Messages Service (SMS), telepon, email atau twitter. Kualitas jalan yang diperbaiki oleh Tim URC Tambal Jalan Dinas Bina Marga dan Pengairan Kota Bandung adalah sama seperti kualitas jalan sebelumnya. Bahkan dengan kualitas jalan yang baik kegiatan distribusi barang/jasa di Kota Bandung akan semakin lancar. Sementara untuk penurunan tingkat kecelakaan, Tim URC Tambal Jalan belum menunjukkan efektivitas yang tinggi karena banyak faktor yang mempengaruhinya.Kata Kunci: efektivitas, unit reaksicepat, inovasi.

Published: March 2017

Background: The ability to recognize emotional expression is essential for social interactions, adapting to the environment, and quality of life. Emotion recognition is impaired in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), thus rehabilitation of these skills has the potential to elicit significant benefits.

Objective: This study sought to establish whether emotion recognition capacity could be rehabilitated in people with AD.

Methods: Thirty-six participants with AD were assigned to one of three conditions: an experimental group (EG) that received 20 sessions of rehabilitation of emotion recognition and 20 sessions of cognitive stimulation therapy (CST), a control group (CG) that received 40 sessions of CST, and a treatment as usual group (TAU).

Results: A positive treatment effect favoring the EG was found; participants were better able to correctly identify emotions ( p = 0.021), made fewer errors of commission ( p = 0.002), had greater precision of processing ( p = 0.021), and faster processing speed ( p = 0.001). Specifically, the EG were better able to identify sadness ( p = 0.016), disgust ( p = 0.005), and the neutral expression ( p = 0.014), with quicker processing speed for disgust ( p = 0.002). These gains were maintained at one month follow-up with the exception of processing speed for surprise, which improved.

Conclusion: Capacity to recognize facial expressions of emotions can be improved through specific rehabilitation in people with AD, and gains are still present at a one month follow up. These findings have implications for the design of rehabilitation techniques for people with AD that may lead to improved quality of life and social interactions for this population.
Amyloid-β Deposition and Long-Term Progression in Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer’s Disease Defined with Amyloid PET Imaging
Authors: Hatashita Shizuo , Wakebe Daichi
Published: March 2017

The aim was to evaluate brain amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using amyloid PET imaging and clarify the relationship between the annual change in Aβ deposition and disease progression. Forty-eight MCI patients underwent neuropsychological assessment and amyloid PET imaging using [11C]-PIB over a follow-up of 5.7±1.5 years. Thirty-nine MCI patients who had an amyloid-positive scan were defined as MCI due to AD, and 9 MCI patients who had an amyloid-negative scan were included. Regions of interest were defined on co-registered MRI, and the PIB standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) on the same regions was used over follow-up. Annual change in PIB SUVR was calculated. Patients with MCI due to AD had higher baseline PIB SUVR (1.81±0.32, n = 39, p < 0.01) and a greater annual rate of change in PIB SUVR (0.044±0.027, n = 39, p < 0.01) compared to amyloid-negative MCI patients. Twenty-eight (71.8%) progressed to AD. In patients who progressed during a short duration of 1.7±0.8 years, the annual rate of increase in PIB SUVR was 0.101±0.094 ( n = 16, p < 0.05), which was greater compared to patients with long conversion or stable patients. There was a negative correlation between the annual rate of increase in PIB SUVR and duration of progression to AD among individual MCI converters ( r = –0.47, n = 28, p < 0.05). The patients defined as MCI due to AD could progress to AD with a shorter period if they have a greater increased annual rate in brain Aβ deposition.

According to the literature, the APP Ala713Thr mutation is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We describe a case of dementia clinically compatible with frontotemporal dementia in an APP Ala713Thr mutation carrier in which both [18F]Florbetapir PET uptake and Aβ1-42 cerebrospinal fluid levels were normal. Further evidences are required to establish if this association is only incidental.

Aim: Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) causes many types of infections including respiratory and non-respiratory infections such as skin and soft tissue infections, lymphadenitis, meningitis, gastro-intestinal infections, disseminated infections and even intravenous catheter-related infections. Increasing incidence of NTM is reported worldwide in last decade. However, incidence of NTM in Bangladesh is not known as detection of NTM is not undergoing in Bangladesh which is necessary to know as these NTM species are resistant to first-line anti-TB drugs and, when mistaken for M. tuberculosis, give rise to erroneous identification of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). We wanted to know the existence of NTM from various clinical specimens including tissues from tuberculosis suspected patients visited in Apollo Hospitals Dhaka in 2013 to 2015.Material and Method: Sample processing, DNA extraction and real time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) were done according to the commercial LyteStar TB/NTM PCR kit developed by Altona Diagnostics, Germany. The target DNA sequences are amplified with IS61 10-specific primers for MTB complex and ITS-specific primers for NTM. Probes specific for MTB complex and NTM DNA are labeled with fluorophore dye FAM and HEX, respectively. We have analyzed 579 clinical specimens from tuberculosis suspected patient.Result: Among 579 specimen different types of tissues were 201 and histopathology data were available for 166 cases. In tissues NTM was detected by PCR in 3 1(19%) cases, 8 of which were compatible with histopathology findings and rest 23 cases showed no evidence of granulomatous lesion. We analyzed 378 different varieties of clinical specimens such as sputum, bronchial lavages, body fluids, pus and swabs. Among 378 samples 215 samples were requested for AFB staining. NTM was detected by PCR in 19(8.8%) samples and out of 19 NTM positive specimens only one was AFB positive.Conclusion: This is the first report in the country about detection of NTM in variety of clinical specimens and warrants further elaborate investigation. Our results showed that PCR is an effective tool for the rapid identification of NTM from tissues and AFB negative clinical specimens having suspicion for mycobacterial infection.Pulse Vol.9 January-December 2016 p.15-21
School Refusal: How to Address When He is an Adolescent with Aspergers Syndrome - A Case Report
Authors: Anis T , Islam F , Sultana N
Published: March 2017

A fifteen and a half years old adolescent boy was referred by the psychiatrist to the Child Development Centre (CDC) for an evaluation of his mental status as he was stubbornly resisting to take medication in spite of regular counselling efforts. This boy presented with school refusal with manifestations of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with a complicated family dynamic to the psychiatrist. His interesting atypical development in early childhood led to clinicians concern of excluding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He was finally diagnosed and jointly managed as a case of High Functioning Autism (HFA) with co-morbid conditions by a joint multidisciplinary team approach of CDC and Psychiatry Department of AHD.Pulse Vol.9 January-December 2016 p.64-68
Musique et récusance : enfermement, identité, circulation
Authors: Baize-Vézier Sophie
Published: March 2017

English Catholic music outlived the Reformation by adapting itself to the new demands of the Council of Trent: more clarity, better readability for greater religious fervor. Its musicians, whether exiled or not, were the heirs of polyphony and they developed their own tradition, more suitable to their private Tridentine Catholic devotion within the recusant communities. They also composed for secular music following the fashion of the Italian madrigal (William Byrd) and participated in the emergence of instrumental music thanks to the resumed practice of chamber music. These trends appeared partly within the clandestine and restricted environment of recusant circles in England and on the Continent. The channels used by the music and the musicians were the arteries of a community scattered throughout the country and beyond, allowing fruitful exchanges between local and continental traditions, and mutually benefiting each other. The heart of those networks lay with the Catholic collectors and patrons who collected and brought back the new works, financially supported the musicians and created the right conditions for the emergence of new musical genres announcing the Baroque era.
Of Travellers, Messengers and Foundlings – Fictionality, Authorship, and Textual Property in Thomas More’s Paratexts
Authors: Schmidt Gabriela
Published: March 2017

Paratexts have attracted increasing attention in recent scholarship as an especially privileged tool for managing the reception of a text in early print culture, and Thomas More was certainly an exceptionally versatile user of this strategic publishing device. Not only does he make ample use of conventional paratextual techniques such as prefaces, marginal glosses and commendatory poems, he also takes the medium one step further by making his paratexts part of the narrative setting of his works, especially in the literary dialogues. In creating a plethora of (semi-)fictional voices and contexts, he effectively blurs the line between text and context, fact and fiction, and author and editor/printer. While this textual game of hide-and-seek has been extensively studied in Utopia and has often been seen as a typically ‘humanist’ feature of the text, the present article explores similar techniques throughout More’s work, thus overcoming the alleged rift between his pre- and post-reformation writings.
Otherness in More’s Utopia
Authors: Navaud Guillaume
Published: March 2017

Utopia as a concept points towards a world essentially alien to us. Utopia as a work describes this otherness and confronts us with a world whose strangeness might seem disturbing. Utopia and Europe differ in their relationship to what is other (Latin alienus) – that is, that which belongs to someone else, that which is foreign, that which is strange. These two worlds are at odds in regards to their foreign policy and way of life: Utopia aspires to self-sufficiency but remains open to whatever good may arrive from beyond its borders, while the Old World appears alienated by exteriority yet refuses to welcome any kind of otherness. This issue also plays a major part in the reception of More’s work. Book I invites the reader to distance himself from a European point of view in order to consider what is culturally strange not as logically absurd but merely as geographically remote. Utopia still makes room for some exoticism, but mostly in its paratexts, and this exoticism needs to be deciphered. All in all, Utopia may invite us to transcend the horizontal dialectics of worldly alterity in order to open our eyes to a more radical, metaphysical otherness.
Utopia ’s Best Reader
Authors: Silva Alvaro
Published: March 2017

Among the many great readers of Thomas More’s Utopia, Vasco de Quiroga (c. 1488–1565) appears to be most striking, even if we don’t know when or where he read the book. The Spaniard arrived in Mexico in 1530, a few years after Hernán Cortés, sent by Emperor Charles V with full judicial powers in a land devastated by the chaos, brutality, and greed of the conquest, the native people mercilessly abused and enslaved. Almost right away, Quiroga started to give his time, talent, and treasure to create what he called a new “policy” (policía) to protect the ‘indians” from the cruelty of the conquerors. He built refuges (pueblos hospitales), islands of hospitality which he also designed for all the lands and peoples in the New World, as the best way to secure peace, protect and evangelize the populations. He would describe the “pueblos” with words and ideas from his own reading of Utopia, and More was to him a brilliant Englishman inspired by the Holy Spirit both to learn from the native people and to build a new and better Christian civilization in the new land. When Quiroga became bishop of Michoacán in 1536, he must have felt the first real bishop of More’s Utopia. This paper intends to show that this qualifies him as the Utopia’s best reader.
