Correlation Between Articulation Disorders and Oral Motor Mechanism
Authors: Noveen Sadaf , Ullah Shaista Habib , Alam Babar
Published: May 2018

Function of oral cavity is to produce speech sounds for verbal communication along with performance of its primary functions. Its defects can decrease intelligibility of speech while affecting production of phonemes. Description of this relationship is important for etiologic diagnosis and treatment planning among children without any disability or ignored craniofacial deformities. Studies highlighting this relationship are rare to none in Pakistan. Therefore, this study aims to detect the type and extent of relationship between these two factors. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted on a sample of 140, which were 4-8 years old children with speech sound disorders, without any disability, and visiting various speech clinics in Pakistan. Test for Assessment of Articulation and Phonology in Urdu (TAAPU) was applied as it contains both oral motor screen and articulation tests. Results: The study examined the relationship between Oral Motor Mechanism (OMM) and Articulation Disorders. Oral motor screening of 140 children showed that (23%) had OMM defects among these 33% had substitution errors, 60% distortion errors, and 3.03% omission errors whereas no addition errors were found. The correlation of 0.763 positive relationships between two variables was noticed. High percentage of distortion errors among children having OMM defects shows strong connection between the two otherwise substitution is most prevalent error. Conclusion: Conclusively it can be stated that anatomical and physiological defects of oral cavity lead to articulation errors. Children with articulation deficit had distorted speech with multiple oral motor anomalies.
Integrating booster chlorination and operational interventions in water distribution systems
Authors: Nono Denis , Basupi Innocent , Odirile Phillimon T. , Parida Bhagabat P.
Published: May 2018

Booster chlorination reduces the risks associated with conventional disinfection such as high chlorine residuals near water treatment plants and low chlorine residuals at remote parts of water distribution systems (WDSs). Network operational interventions have a significant influence on water age and chlorine decay in WDSs. In this study, an integrated booster chlorination method is developed to obtain optimal designs that reduce the risks associated with conventional disinfection in WDSs. The method integrates booster chlorination with network operational interventions to reduce water age and improve chlorine residuals in WDSs. A multi-objective booster optimisation problem is formulated based on risks associated with chlorine disinfection and solved using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and the EPANET hydraulic and water quality solver. The proposed methodology was tested in the Phakalane WDS in Botswana. The integrated booster disinfection method significantly improves chlorine residuals in a WDSs with lower mass and cost of chlorine than conventional disinfection. Furthermore, the study indicates that integrated booster chlorination designs are influenced by changes in network conditions such as water demand and chlorine decay coefficients. Therefore, periodic monitoring of these parameters is required to ensure that the acceptable performance of chlorine boosters in WDSs is maintained.
Impact of climate change on the hydrological dynamics of River Ganga, India
Authors: Jain C. K. , Singh Surya
Published: May 2018

Rivers provide innumerable ecosystem services to mankind. However, anthropogenic activities have inflicted a host of pressures to the riverine ecosystems. Climate change is also one of the human induced consequences which is of serious concern. A number of studies have predicted devastating effects of climate change. In the Indian context, where a river such as the Ganga is already suffering from industrial and municipal waste disposal, unhygienic rituals, and other activities, effects of climate change may further aggravate the situation. Climate change will not only result in disasters, but effects on water quality, biodiversity, and other ecological processes also cannot be denied. In this paper, an attempt has been made to evaluate the effects of climatic change on the dynamics of River Ganga. The study focuses on the impacts on fundamental ecological processes, river water quality, effect on species composition, and hydropower potential etc. The paper also discusses management aspects and research needs for rejuvenation of the River Ganga.
Modern Approaches for the Discovery of Anti-Infectious Drugs for the Treatment of Neglected Diseases
Authors: Bellera Carolina L. , Sbaraglini Maria L. , Talevi Alan
Published: May 2018

Neglected diseases comprise a number of infectious diseases historically endemic to low- and
middle-income countries, though recently they have spread to high-income countries due to human migrations.
In the past, pharmaceutical companies have shown hesitant to invest in these health conditions,
due to the limited return on investment. As a result, the role of the academic sector and not-for-profit
organizations in the discovery of new drugs for neglected diseases has been particularly relevant.

Here, we review recent applications of modern drug discovery technologies in the field of neglected diseases,
including high-throughput screening, in silico screening and computer-aided drug design. The
suitability and perspectives of each approach are discussed depending on the context, along with the
technology and translational gaps influencing them.

Published: May 2018

Background:

Cystic echinococcosis/ hydatidosis is one of the most important parasitic zoonoses worldwide. Usually, surgery is used for the treatment of active cysts. Due to the risk of cyst rupture during surgery, a protoscolicidal agent is usually injected into the cyst before surgery to prevent secondary cyst formation in case of cyst rupture. Due to the side effects of chemical protoscolicidal agents attempts have been focused on herbal medicine. In this regard, Allium sativum has already been used; however, the protoscolicidal effect of Allium hirtifolium from Allium family has not been investigated, so far.

Objective:

The present study was conducted in order to assess the protoscolicidal effect of methanolic extract of Allium hirtifolium in different concentrations, temperature and exposure times. Cetrimide as a positive control and DMSO as a negative control were also used in this study.

Methods:

The viability of protoscoleces was determined by 0.1% eosin staining method.

Results:

The protoscolicidal effect of Allium hirtifolium on protoscoleces was as follows: The mean percent and standard deviation (SD) of protoscolicidal activity of 50 mg/ml concentration of Allium hirtifolium extract in room temperature at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes of exposure was 5.88±2.39, 8.59±4.54, 11.82±5.81, 12.31±6.16and 16.96±8.42 respectively; while at 37°C it was 9.10±5.01, 11.52±7.36, 18.64±4.36, 27.07±6.57 and 38.15±12.80, respectively.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, although Allium hirtifolium from Allium family is similar to Allium sativum; the protoscolicidal effect of its methanolic extract is not similar and less than A. sativum extract.

Published: May 2018

La coagulación floculación se ha empleado en el tratamiento de aguas residuales utilizando sales metálicas y polímeros con el fin de remover sólidos en suspensión, entre otros contaminantes. La turbiedad y el color son indicadores de sólidos suspendidos en el agua residual, y como parámetros de control es esencial determinarlos debido a que representan pruebas rápidas para precisar la reducción de los sólidos (suspendidos y disueltos). En tal sentido, en este estudio se evaluó la eficiencia de remoción de dichos parámetros de un agua residual doméstica, en la cual se aplicó un tratamiento de coagulación-floculación agregando el polímero natural almidón de yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) y combinando coagulantes floculantes como Al2(SO4)3, FeCl3 y Ca(OH)2, de modo que se pudieran hallar las dosis óptimas de polímero y coagulantes para ofrecer la mejor remoción de turbiedad y color. En total, se analizaron 216 muestras de agua residual doméstica: 54 para determinar la dosis óptimas de los coagulantes y 162 de las mezclas. La combinación que presentó la mayor eficiencia fue la combinación de 250 mgL-1 de Al2(SO4)3 y 750 mgL-1 del almidón, con turbiedad inicial de 24 NTU y color inicial de 958 CU. Esta logró remover 75 % de la turbiedad y 78 % del color, y obtuvo una turbiedad final de 6 NTU y color final de 210 CU. La segunda mezcla fue 250 mgL-1 de Ca(OH)2 y 250 mgL-1 de almidón, con turbiedad inicial de 23.9 NTU y color inicial de 1430 CU. Esta combinación removió 34.3 % de turbiedad y 67.6 % del color, es decir, se redujo la turbiedad hasta 15.7 NTU y el color hasta 453 CU. El ahorro en el consumo de sulfato de aluminio para este tipo de agua residual fue de 16.7 %, ya que la dosis del reactivo fue de 300 mgL-1, mientras que para el hidróxido de calcio el ahorro en el reactivo fue de 37.5 %, debido a que la dosis óptima de este estuvo en 400 mgL-1.
Recursos didáticos nas aulas de matemática nos anos iniciais: critérios que orientam a escolha e o uso por parte de professores
Authors: Passos Éderson , Takahashi Eduardo
Published: May 2018

Este artigo apresenta e discute os critérios considerados pelas professoras/colaboradoras desta pesquisa na escolha e no uso de recursos didáticos para o ensino de matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. A constituição dos dados constou de três etapas: questionário, observação e entrevista. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentou-se na análise de conteúdo temática. Pela análise, constatou-se que o aluno é o aspecto mais considerado pelas professoras ao optar por recursos didáticos. Verificou-se, ainda, que importantes recursos didáticos, como o ábaco e o Material Dourado, não foram objetos de estudo e reflexões práticas no processo de formação profissional em matemática das professoras dos anos iniciais. Conclui-se que a formação de professores quanto ao uso de recursos didáticos, em especial para o ensino de matemática, passa por problemas e que os critérios relevantes para a orientação da escolha desses recursos para a sala de aula, como conteúdo específico e tendo em vista os objetivos pretendidos, estão sendo negligenciados ou até mesmo desconsiderados.

Published: May 2018

Este artigo analisa o ingresso de estudantes nos cursos da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Câmpus Londrina, no ano de 2015, com base nas mudanças implementadas pela Lei de Cotas (Lei Federal nº 12.711/2012).  Essa lei tornou obrigatória a reserva de vagas para alunos egressos de escolas públicas, de baixa renda e autodeclarados pretos, pardos ou indígenas (PPI) nas instituições federais de ensino superior e técnico, constituindo-se como medida compensatória diante dos efeitos dos privilégios sociais e da desigualdade nas condições de acesso ao ensino superior. Investiga o preenchimento das vagas reservadas na instituição mencionada para identificar em que medida as ações afirmativas têm cumprido os propósitos para os quais foram pensadas. Foram coletadas as notas de entrada dos alunos em 2015, buscando suas medidas de centralidade estatística, comparando cotistas com não cotistas e os diferentes cursos entre si. Analisa, ainda, a relação entre reserva de vaga e seu preenchimento nas quatro categorias de cotistas e no grupo de não cotistas. Observa-se que o prestígio dos cursos é um fator relevante para o aumento das medianas das notas de entrada dos estudantes e também que a categoria de cotas para pessoas de baixa renda tem colocado entraves para o preenchimento de suas vagas.
Análise do eixo da oralidade na Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa da rede municipal de ensino de Juiz de Fora (MG)
Authors: Magalhães Tânia , Bessa Carvalho Thalita
Published: May 2018

Este artigo apresenta análise da concepção e das práticas escolares de oralidade na Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa da rede municipal de ensino de Juiz de Fora (MG). Toma como base os pressupostos teóricos do interacionismo sociodiscursivo, conjugado à perspectiva do continuum oralidade–letramento, bem como os eixos propostos para o trabalho com a oralidade em sala de aula, por meio dos quais se defende o ensino da oralidade com vistas a uma formação cidadã. Fundamentando-se em uma concepção interacionista de linguagem, consideram-se os gêneros como objetos de ensino, que carregam significações sociais e orientam a ação de linguagem. Na escola, para que seja possível ampliar as capacidades de linguagem dos alunos, os gêneros trazem a possibilidade de aprendizagem por meio de situações discursivas reais. Propõe-se análise documental, estabelecendo categorias baseadas nos pressupostos orientadores do trabalho didático com a oralidade. Os dados indicam que: a) o documento apresenta uma concepção interacionista de linguagem, alinhando-se aos princípios do interacionismo sociodiscursivo; b) tal concepção sustenta uma proposta de ensino de oralidade embasada na perspectiva do continuum e articulada à visão não dicotômica da relação oral-escrito; e c) os gêneros textuais são centrais no desenvolvimento de capacidades de linguagem, configurando-se uma proposta de aprendizagem do oral autônomo. Não obstante, os dados revelam ausência de indicação de atividades sobre retextualização e reflexão linguística no eixo da oralidade, evidenciando predominância da produção oral.

Este artigo discute questões de acesso à educação superior e inclusão digital de mulheres. Os sujeitos são alunas de três cursos de licenciatura na modalidade a distância ofertados pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) Virtual: Letras, Pedagogia e Ciências Agrárias. A pesquisa foi qualitativa e exploratória, focada em perspectiva de gênero, com abordagens documental e empírica. O método empregado consistiu na análise textual discursiva de material composto de vários tipos de narrativas. No marco teórico, utilizaram-se obras de Cecília Castaño, Fúlvia Rosemberg, Rena M. Palloff e Keith Pratt, entre outras. As narrativas coletadas e analisadas indicam que algumas mulheres têm, simultaneamente, acesso ao ensino superior e às tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), por meio da educação a distância (EaD), o que propicia a recriação de suas identidades e seu empoderamento. A EaD pode ser, então, uma porta de inclusão, contribuindo para a diminuição da brecha digital de gênero.

Sustainability science and education in Haiti and Puerto Rico
Authors: Krogman Naomi , Machlis Gary
Published: May 2018

This paper reports on the results of a workshop in Haiti and Puerto Rico to capture what priorities may be important to build sustainability sciences and education. In 2015, approximately 35 individuals attended all or part of the workshop at each location. Participants included academic leaders, university faculty, secondary school teachers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and university and high school students. Haitian participants called attention to the need for reforestation training, systemic solutions for waste management, and sustainable marine resources management. In Puerto Rico, participants called for more training to link civic engagement with sustainable development, social determinants of health, and programming on tsunami preparation and recovery. Members of both workshops asked for sustainability science and education advances in renewable and alternative energy development, general disaster and climate change impact preparedness (e.g. drought), and sustainable agriculture. Haitian and Puerto Rican participants also shared the view that engaging sustainability requires higher educational institutions to partner with communities, primary and secondary school teachers, policy-makers, and especially young persons, to reinforce the values of sustainability, and collectively work across sectors to learn through trial and error together.

Esta contribución analiza los bienes asociados al patrimonio industrial que se concentran en los barrios situados al sur de la ciudad de Salamanca, traspasado el río Tormes, una de las áreas de localización fabril de la capital y en cuya valoración apenas se ha insistido. Para ello, tras definir y contextualizar esta periferia urbana, se procede a una caracterización y clasificación de los bienes identificados y a un repaso de las herramientas con las que se ha querido y se pretende proceder a su reconocimiento, ordenación y gestión: un Plan Especial y una Estrategia de Desarrollo Urbano.
Ciudad Pegaso: autarquía y control social. Vivienda obrera asociada a centros industriales
Authors: González Kirchner Beatriz
Published: May 2018

Ciudad Pegaso fue promovida por la Empresa Nacional de Autocamiones (ENASA), vinculada al Instituto Nacional de Industria, para dar alojamiento a sus empleados. Es un ejemplo precoz de poblado industrial fruto de las políticas urbanísticas de la época (esbozos 1949, primera fase 1956, segunda fase 1960). En él confluyen las ideas falangistas de la “Ciudad del Movimiento” (ciudad orgánica y cerrada en la que queda superada la lucha de clases por yuxtaposición en el espacio de todas ellas) y por otra parte, la tendencia del régimen a favor de la segregación de las masas obreras en barrios de extrarradio como forma de control social.
Reconversión de espacios portuarios y privatización de la fachada litoral de A Coruña: una lectura crítica
Authors: Rodríguez-Barcón Alberto , Calo Estefanía , Otero-Enríquez Raimundo
Published: May 2018

En este artículo se analiza la progresiva rehabilitación y privatización de la fachada litoral del centro urbano de A Coruña a partir de la liberalización de espacios industriales-portuarios. Este proceso, que abarca desde el año 2012 hasta la actualidad, ha sido estructurado en tres grandes fases: remodelación del área de la Mariña; privatización de los terrenos de “La Solana”-Hotel Finisterre; y, finalmente, privatización para usos terciarios y residenciales de los llamados “puertos interiores”. El objetivo principal es articular una reflexión crítica en torno a esta profunda transformación de la ciudad en el marco global del turismo urbano y crucerista, y de rehabilitación de los puertos históricos y espacios industriales en desuso.

Tomat beef merupakan salah satu jenis tomat yang mempunyai nilai ekonomis tinggi. Salah satu teknik budidaya yang dapat diguna-kan untuk meningkatkan produksi tanaman tomat yaitu perbaikan media tanam dengan penambahan arang sekam dan mengatur jumlah cabang produksi. Percobaan bertujuan untuk mempelajari berbagai dosis arang sekam dan jumlah cabang produksi yang baik untuk pertumbuhan, hasil dan kualitas tomat. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Kultur Terkendali, Fakultas Pertanian, Univer-sitas Padjadjaran di Jatinangor. Rancangan percobaan menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi dengan tiga ulangan. Petak utama adalah penambahan arang sekam dengan empat taraf : 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%  dan anak petak adalah jumlah cabang produksi dengan dua taraf : satu cabang dan dua cabang produksi. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang saling mempengaruhi antara penambahan arang sekam dan jumlah cabang produksi pada semua variabel pengamatan. Perlakuan penambahan 0% dan 20% arang sekam tanaman lebih tinggi dibanding perlakuan 30% arang sekam, namun jumlah daun, ukuran daun dan diameter batang sama, sehingga tidak berpengaruh terhadap hasil. Penggunaan dua cabang produksi menghasilkan jumlah daun lebih banyak tapi ukuran daun lebih kecil dibanding dengan satu cabang produksi, sehingga hasilnya sama. Kata kunci : Tomat beef ∙ Pertumbuhan ∙ Hasil ∙ Kualitas
