Do We Appear to Be a Profession Chasing Its Tail? Non-Social Work Major Perceptions
Authors: Zosky Diane
Published: June 2018

The profession of social work has recently completed its centennial celebration, yet it still remains a profession with an identity struggle. Could the internal struggles experienced within the profession have a negative effect on young people who are selecting career pursuits? An investigation was undertaken at a medium-sized university assessing the perceptions held by non-social-work majors about the social work profession and the social work major.

Results demonstrated that the social work major was perceived to be as difficult as other majors and social work students were perceived to be as intelligent as other students. Social work careers were perceived to be more challenging than other occupations. The results highlighted some confusion regarding intensity of the curricular requirements for social work and the difference between social work and sociology or psychology. The struggle for professional identity did not seem to negatively affect perceptions regarding social work for this sample of students.
Baccalaureate Social Work Graduates Respond: Is Sexual Harassment a Problem in Field Placements?
Authors: Fogel Sondra J. , Ellison Martha E. , Morrow Deana F.
Published: June 2018

This article presents the findings of a nationwide study that surveyed 990 Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) graduates concerning incidents of sexual harassment experienced while they were in their field placement. Results from the earlier work by Fogel and Ellison (1998) indicated that field directors were aware of incidents of sexual harassment during field placement. The findings from this study suggest that incidents of sexual harassment may be underreported to school officials. In addition, respondents suggest that social work programs do not actively pursue reports or remedy for the student victim. The authors provide suggestions for strengthening program policies and procedures.
The Relational Model of Identity Development: An Essential Curricular Component for Social Work Education and Practice
Authors: Jarrold Janis L. , Lazzari Marceline M.
Published: June 2018

This concept article presents a rationale for including the relational model, also referred to as “self-in-relation” theory, as a component in social work education and practice. The work of the Stone Center theorists at Wellesley College is discussed and related to the significance of relationships in social work and, thus, to its “goodness of fit” with numerous aspects of the profession. The relational model is applied as well to a variety of required curricular components mandated by the Council on Social Work Education. A literature review was conducted, and the results indicate that self-in-relation theory is being used by social work authors. Its diverse applications may speak loudly to its relevance for social work.
Infusing Content on the Physical Environment into the BSW Curriculum
Authors: Kahn Mitchell , Scher Susan
Published: June 2018

In August 1999, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) delegate assembly passed a major platform on environmental policy. The NASW now mandates that social workers take a proactive stand on environmental exploitation and environmental justice issues in all facets of their professional activities. This requires social work education to provide a more comprehensive view of the environment to include the physical as well as the social. The authors are faculty members of the Ramapo College Social Work Program, which has infused environmental content into all aspects of its BSW Curriculum. This article will describe how Ramapo incorporated such content into the liberal arts foundation, program prerequisites, and professional foundation areas of human behavior in the social environment (HBSE), research, practice, field, and policy. This model is offered as a guide to assist other social work programs in developing content on the physical environment in the BSW curriculum.
Using Professional Advisory Committees to Achieve Excellence in Social Work Education
Authors: Dietz Tracy J. , Moore Linda S. , Jenkins David
Published: June 2018

Social work programs are mandated by the Council on Social Work Education to develop and maintain ongoing relationships with social work practitioners and others involved in social services and policy making. A Professional Advisory Committee is one way for programs to receive input from community professionals to strengthen the educational goal of preparing competent, effective professionals. To date, there is little literature in social work on program advisory committees. However, higher education and management literature, along with social work literature on task groups, can provide some direction for developing, maintaining, and effectively using a Professional Advisory Committee in social work program development.
A Comparison of the Critical Thinking Skills of BSW and MSW Students
Authors: Clark Hugh G.
Published: June 2018

The Council on Social Work Education's standards requires the teaching and measurement of critical thinking skills at both the baccalaureate and masters level of social work education. How to measure those skills is a difficult question for educators. Equally difficult is determining whether the skills are being taught to social work students. This research is the result of a study begun in 1998 that compared scores on the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) of recently graduated BSW students and MSW students who had completed their degree or were in their last semester. Surprisingly, little difference seems to exist between the critical thinking skill levels of BSW and MSW students.
Performance Evaluation Using a Rubric: Grading Student Performance in Practice Courses
Authors: Widerman Eileen
Published: June 2018

This article promotes performance evaluation using a rubric as a useful approach to assessing the extent to which social work students meet the complex learning objectives of practice courses. This approach permits assessment of qualitative competencies, such as use-of-self, and facilitates the reduction of multiple evaluation criteria to a single grade. It guides students in completing assignments, details performance expectations, and provides meaningful feedback to both student and instructor. Using a process recording as an example, the article describes how to construct, introduce, apply, and evaluate a rubric. The importance of grounding the rubric in the knowledge base of the course and submitting its content for student and peer input are stressed as a means to enhance its validity and address some of the disadvantages associated with its use. The author encourages social work educators to develop, explore, and empirically assess this, and other, nontraditional approaches to assessment.
People First: A Case Study in Partnering with the Community
Authors: Bordelon Thomas D.
Published: June 2018

This case study demonstrates the process by which a class composed of senior social work students learns macro practice values and skills by partnering with a community organization. The products of this collaboration emerge from the real-life problem scenario in which students, community partners, and the social work educator collaborate to develop the skills necessary to resolve problems. Through community partnership, social work educators are in the position to expand the opportunities for students to develop critical thinking skills, and provide opportunities to practice community organization within the classroom setting.
An International Social Work Exchange: What, So What, and Now What?
Authors: Ford Karen A. , Ericson Carolyn Bartick
Published: June 2018

Building on a belief in the value of study-abroad programs, this article describes the effects of an international experience for BSW students and the transformation of these effects into knowledge for individual and collective development. Perceptions of BSW students are explored examining changes in attitudes and perspectives after a two-week social work survey course in a Dutch social work program. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies are used to discuss changes in responses to survey questions, pre- and postinternational experience, as well as analysis of directed journal entries and integrative papers using an experiential education model. The findings in this study demonstrate the multidimensionality of a study-abroad program, the effect on the students and the importance of the student perspective as they view the profession.
TEACHING SOCIAL WORK RESEARCH: DOES ANDRAGOGY WORK BEST?
Authors: NASUTI JOHN P. , YORK REGINALD O. , HENLEY H. CARL
Published: June 2018

While the traditional approach to education views the student as a passive receptacle of knowledge, the model of adult learning known as andragogy views the learner as an active learner in the process. In this article, educational outcomes and student satisfaction were reported for three sections of an introductory research course at the undergraduate level. Two of these sections employed a text that was organized according to the principles of andragogy while the other section used a traditional text. Modest support for the model of adult learning (andragogy) was revealed in the qualitative data analyzed because more students evaluated this model as positive than as negative. The quantitative analysis of data failed to provide support for this model because there was not a statistically significant difference between the three sections on knowledge, satisfaction, or change in psychosocial variables such as willingness to participate in research activities.

Study of drug utilization pattern in gynecology department of tertiary care hospital of Rajasthan, India
Authors: Sharma Neelam , Jhanwar Anshul
Published: June 2018

Background: With increasing awareness the flow of patients visiting gynecology outpatient department has increased. Drugs used in gynecology are one of the most selling drugs in India, however they are least studied with respect to drug utilization. Thus, present study was undertaken to analyse drug utilization pattern of Gynecology OPD in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A retrospective, cross sectional, observational study of prescriptions in Gynecology OPD of Jhalawar medical college, Jhalawar. Data was obtained from medical record database of patients that attended Gynecology OPD from October 2017 to March 2018 over period of six months. Prescription records of patients were screened as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and 300 prescriptions were randomly selected. Patient related, and drug related information was collected on a customized data collection sheet.Results: The mean age of patients was 20.5±8.65 years and common age of presentation was >18-30 years. In infective cases, PID (40.6%) was common, and in non-infective cases, menorrhagia (23.8%) was common. The average number of drugs per prescription was 5.2. In drug category, minerals (46.4%) were most commonly prescribed, followed by antimicrobials (27.6%), and NSAIDs (20.1%). Polypharmacy was observed in 100% of the prescriptions.Conclusions: In the present study all of the drugs prescribed were generic which were from the essential medical list of NLEM and WHO. This study revealed deviation from rational prescribing by the prescribers because average number of drugs per prescription was significantly higher than that recommended by WHO.
Study of prevalence of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal checkup in a rural teaching hospital in Telangana, India
Authors: . Shridevi
Published: June 2018

Background: Anemia during pregnancy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women in developing countries and has both maternal and fetal consequences. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal checkup in a rural teaching hospital in Telangana.Methods: It is a hospital based cross-sectional observational study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maheshwara Medical College and Hospital, Telangana for duration of two years from March 2016 to April 2018. A total of 600 cases were studied and screened. Prevalence of anemia was calculated. Anemia was classified morphologically based on peripheral smear findings and classified as microcytic hypochromic, macrocytic, dimorphic anemia, normocytic normochromic anemia and normocytic hypochromic anemia. Based on hemoglobin values anemia was classified into mild, moderate, and severe anemia.Results: Prevalence of anemia in pregnancy in rural Telangana was about 20%. Age-wise, majority (58.3%) of the patients were between 21 to 25 years. Gravida more than 2 were more 66.6% (400/600) when compared to lower parity. Among 600 cases, 140 pregnant women (23.3%) suffered with mild anemia, 340 cases (56.6%) with moderate anemia and 20% with severe anaemia. Morphologically, microcytic hypochromic type i.e., iron deficiency anaemia was the most common.Conclusions: Anemia in pregnancy in rural Telangana is quite high and was found to be 20% in routine antenatal outpatient cases. Multiple pregnancies and low level of education indirectly contribute to anemia of pregnancy. Education and awareness about anemia in pregnancy can lead to better fetal and maternal outcomes.
Clinical and etiological spectrum of prolonged fever and special reference to HIV patients at a tertiary care centre
Authors: Behera Suresh , Subrahmanyam D. K. S. , Bajpai Jyoti , Pradhan Akshyaya , Singh Abhishek
Published: June 2018

Background: Prolonged fever is a diagnostic challenge and will tend to remain so in times to come because of the changing spectrum of etiologies and influence of technology, environmental changes, and many other ill-understood factors which influence the etiological spectrum. Prolonged fever is also undergoing change in its duration. The aim of the present was study to determine the etiologies of prolonged fever in patients in India and to evaluate the clinical and etiological relationship between the diagnosis and patient’s laboratory data.Methods: Patients aged more 13 years with fever >38.3ºC for more than three weeks without apparent source after preliminary investigations were included prospectively over a period of twenty two months. Fever duration, symptom, signs, laboratory investigations and final diagnosis were recorded. The distribution of etiologies and age, fever duration, laboratory examinations, and associated symptoms and signs were analyzed.Results: Out of total of 86 patients were enrolled, fifty one (59.3%) were men. The median age was 28 years (range, 13-65 yr). Among 86 patients, diagnosis could be made in only 69 (80.2%) patients. Infections, neoplasms, NIIDs, miscellaneous causes were responsible for prolonged fever in 42 (48.8%), 18 (20.9%), 6 (7%), and 3 (3.5%) patients respectively. Seveteen (19.8%) cases remained undiagnosed, even after relevant investigations, six of them recovered spontaneously. Tuberculosis (TB) was the cause of prolonged fever in 21 (24.4%) patients.Conclusions: Infections, amongst which tuberculosis, remain the major cause of prolonged fever and its subset: fever of unknown origin (FUO), in this country. The percent of undiagnosed cases appears to be identical worldwide.
A comparative study of intraocular pressure in myopia and hyperopia among a Nigerian population just diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma in Benin City
Authors: Osaiyuwu Aghafekokhian B. , Edokpa Genesis D.
Published: June 2018

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that high myopia is salient in the pathologic process of POAG, and IOP (Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), and Intra-ocular Pressure (IOP)) remains the crucial risk factor for this condition. Still, some other studies have signified that glaucoma was diagnosed in myopes independent of IOP, suggesting that predisposition to glaucoma in myopes may not be dependent on mechanisms related to high pressures. The aim of this study was therefore to compare the intraocular pressure in myopes and hyperopes in a Nigerian population just diagnosed with POAG to ascertain if proclivity to glaucoma in myopes is mainly dependent on IOP.Methods: This research was conducted as a retrospective study in the Optometry/Ophthalmology Department at Stella Obasanjo Women and Children Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. The sample consisted of cases seen between 2011 and 2013. A total of 166 eyes with glaucoma and refractive errors (80 (48.19%) with myopia, and 86 (51.81%) with hyperopia) with an age range of 10 to 85 years, were used for this study.Results: Newly diagnosed glaucomatous myopes had a significantly higher mean IOP than recently diagnosed hyperopes (unpaired t- test, p= 0.004). Also, a significant inverse correlation was obtained between refractive errors and intraocular pressure (Pearson correlation, r = -.245, p = 0.001) i.e. as refractive errors progressed deeply into more minus (myopic) regions, IOP increased.Conclusions: The relationship between glaucoma and myopia is pressure mediated. The ascending levels of intraocular pressure that occurred with increasing extents of myopia demonstrate that POAG evolves too soon in participants with high myopia than in hyperopia and accentuates the seriousness of glaucoma surveillance in the myopic population.

Authors: Muniz Amanda , Rodrigues Horácio Wanderlei
Published: June 2018

O trabalho pretende investigar as possibilidades de estudos entre direito e a “cultura de massas”, cujo expoente escolhido foi o rock. Compreendendo a cultura como um campo de significações simbólicas, entendemos ser possível travar um diálogo fértil entre as duas temáticas (direito e “cultura de massas”). Entendendo a relação do rock com a sociedade na qual se insere, procuramos salientar a possibilidade de nele identificar críticas e anseios sociais, bem como visões do Direito. Trata-se de um estudo que pretende lançar ao debate as relações entre cultura popular e sociedade, e de que forma essas relações poderiam ser utilizadas pelo Direito.
O objetivismo moral e o interpretativo na teoria de Ronald Dworkin
Authors: Verbicaro Loiane Prado , Albuquerque de Oliveira Juliana Corrêa
Published: June 2018

Por intermédio de pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa propõe-se a analisar, sob a perspectiva da teoria do autor norte-americano Ronald Dworkin, a interpretação judicial à luz de valores morais e do afastamento da atuação discricionária dos juízes, de modo a evitar as arbitrariedades, voluntarismos e subjetivismos decisórios que são contrários a uma política garantidora de direitos fundamentais. Ao contrário das ideias defendidas pelo paradigma positivista, modelo hegemônico na modernidade jurídica, que acenam à discricionariedade do intérprete judicial, o interpretativismo de Dworkin defende a conexão entre direito e moral e a objetividade interpretativa mesmo diante dos valores.
A arbitragem e a teoria do direito e desenvolvimento: uma breve análise sobre a experiência da arbitragem marítima de Singapura e do Brasil
Authors: Pires Ressú Ferreira , Oliveira Fábio Fidelis de
Published: June 2018

As discussões sobre o desenvolvimento na atualidade possuem caráter interdisciplinar, com reflexo inclusive na ciência do Direito, fato este evidenciado pela teoria do Direito e Desenvolvimento a qual afirma que os institutos jurídicos influenciam o processo de desenvolvimento dos países. Tal teoria ainda não goza de autonomia metodológica, sendo necessárias mais pesquisas empíricas para validar seus modelos. Neste sentido o presente artigo tem como proposta a realização de uma breve análise acerca da experiência de utilização do instituto jurídico da arbitragem especializada em Direito Marítimo como estratégia de desenvolvimento do comércio internacional em Singapura e no Brasil. Em relação aos objetivos específicos, a serem alcançados pode-se elencar: Identificar os elementos jurídicos determinantes para o desenvolvimento do comércio internacional, verificar os fatores que contribuíram para as reformas do instituto jurídico da arbitragem e compreender o impacto do instituto jurídico da arbitragem especializada em direito marítimo no comércio internacional dos países estudados. A metodologia utilizada foi à qualitativa no qual foi usada técnicas de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. No tocante ao resultado foi verificado, dentre outros aspectos, que a arbitragem possui um papel estratégico no desenvolvimento de políticas econômicas voltada para o comércio internacional.
O furo da notícia: reparações não pecuniárias dos danos morais e a nova lei do direito de resposta
Authors: Caon Felipe Varela , Lôbo Fabíola
Published: June 2018

Constatada a ausência de critérios objetivos que definem os limites da liberdade de expressão, por parte de veículos da mídia, este artigo tem por objetivo apontar, a partir da análise de resultados de dois paradigmáticos julgados, os parâmetros utilizados pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal para enfrentar a questão, indicando as consequências jurídicas decorrentes da divulgação, publicação ou transmissão de matérias jornalísticas que excedem tais referenciais. Trata, também, da função da reparação civil, a mudança do seu foco – do ofensor à vítima -, seus reflexos estruturais, e aponta o instrumento da reparação não pecuniária, reafirmado pela Lei do direito de resposta, como medida que favorece a repersonalização do direito privado.
O pensamento criminológico e a Faculdade de Direito de Recife na Primeira República
Authors: Dias Rebeca Fernandes
Published: June 2018

O presente artigo busca demonstrar como se deu a absorção e adesão da cultura jurídica criminal do período da Primeira República, mais precisamente dos juristas professores de Direito Criminal da Faculdade de Direito de Recife, aos postulados do positivismo criminológico, sobretudo italiano. As fontes levantadas foram os programas de disciplina de Direito Criminal e todos os textos publicados pelos juristas analisados. A pesquisa constatou que a absorção do pensamento criminológico foi gradativa, mas significativa e que de uma leitura crítica e resistente, como a que se pode identificar em Tobias Barreto, consolidou-se uma concepção bastante receptiva e até laudatória dos italianos Lombroso, Garofalo e Ferri, o que inevitavelmente deixou marcas na cultura jurídica criminal da época, uma cultura jurídica que buscava sua identidade e que, por grande influência da dicotomia criada por Ferri Escola Clássica X Escola Positiva, pretendia enquadrar-se em um dos ramos da ciência criminal.
Colação Hereditária e Legislação Irresponsável: Descaminhos da Segurança Jurídica no Âmbito Sucessório
Authors: Ramos André Luiz Arnt , Altheim Roberto
Published: June 2018

O Direito Civil Brasileiro contemporâneo se insere em contexto dinâmico e instável. No bojo das viragens que são caras a este momento, os institutos fundamentais de Direito Civil são revistos em seus fundamentos, dinâmica e finalidade. O Direito Sucessório, por seu isolamento, permanece infenso a isso. Interessa, então, avaliar suas normativas, em especial no que respeita a instituto que miscigena aspectos de diversos universos temáticos do Direito Civil: a colação hereditária. A disciplina jurídica desta, além de insatisfatória, mesmo com a hemorragia legislativa configurada pela sucessão errante de cinco diplomas legais que dela cuidam, mira a realização de valores ultrapassados e chancela opções políticas de matriz paternalista autoritária. Pior: a sucessão destes corpos normativos traz consigo sério problema ligado a segurança jurídica subjetiva (mas também objetiva e substancial), especialmente no que respeita ao valor dos bens colacionados. O quadro é agravado por iniciativas do Legislativo Federal quanto a tributação incidente sobre heranças e doações, a qual recoloca o problema do planejamento sucessório, para o qual firmeza relativamente à colação hereditária é indispensável. Nesta ordem de ideias, propõe-se passar a figura da colação em revista, de modo a questionar sua pertinência com a afinação do Direito Civil no diapasão constitucional, com ênfase, sobretudo, à insegurança suscitada pela inestancável hemorragia legislativa que lhe toca.

Authors: Dos Santos Tatiane Araújo , Oliveira Andressa Santos , Santos Handerson Silva , Meira de Melo Cristina Maria , Gonçalves Costa Heloniza Oliveira
Published: June 2018

Objetivo: analisar as denúncias realizadas por enfermeiras, técnicas e auxiliares de enfermagem nos sindicatos que representam essas categorias no estado da Bahia. Método: pesquisa exploratória, qualitativa e documental. Os dados foram agrupados em cinco tipologias da precarização. A análise baseou-se no materialismo dialético. Resultados: foram analisadas 64 denúncias. As tipologias de precarização mais frequentes foram Condenação e descarte do direito do trabalho (35,1%) e Vulnerabilidade no trabalho (23,9%). As denúncias revelaram que as trabalhadoras eram atingidas pela precarização do trabalho, sendo o descumprimento do direito trabalhista a principal manifestação da precarização. Conclusão: as denúncias realizadas por trabalhadoras do campo da enfermagem nos sindicatos, ainda que sejam uma das formas de resistência à precarização do trabalho, foram em número pequeno, o que pode revelar o medo da perda do emprego, como também a alienação dessas trabalhadoras em relação à luta por seus direitos.

Published: June 2018

Objectives: Although bone biopsy is
considered the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of renal
osteodystrophy; it is not suitable for routine clinical practice due to its
invasive nature. The present
study was aimed to evaluate and compare the
bone mineral status using dual energy
X-ray absorptiometry of patients with
or without chronic kidney disease in young population with elevated parathyroid hormone
levels. Methods: This was a single center, cross-sectional,
retrospective study conducted in patients younger than 45 years of age. The study was performed in the outpatient clinic of a
university hospital. Patients
with elevated parathyroid hormone levels were included. Results: Among them, 29 had renal insufficiency, 158 had normal
renal function. Measured bone mineral
density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
and laboratory values were collected from patient files. The primary end point was to assess the efficiacy of dual
energy X-ray absorptiometry in patients with or without renal failure. Except
Z score at Ward’s triangle, all of the T and Z scores at lomber, femur neck, trochanteric, and
intertrochanteric areas were found significantly lower in
patients with chronic kidney disease compared to those without
(p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry seemed to be a
reliable method for detection of osteoporosis in premenopausal female and male
patients younger than 45 years of age with or without renal
failure with elevated parathyroid hormone levels.
Trudne do wykrycia motywy sprawców zgwałcenia
Authors: Janasik Monika
Published: June 2018

Artykuł poświęcony jest problematyce motywacji sprawców przestępstwa przeciwko wolności seksualnej – zgwałcenia. Źródłem atypowości opisywanych przez autorkę motywów jest stereotyp o seksualnych przyczynach przestępstw z art. 197 k.k., najczęściej nieznajdujący pokrycia w badaniach psychiatrycznych. Poznanie motywacji sprawców nie tylko wpływa pozytywnie na wykrywalność przestępstw, lecz także na przebieg prowadzonego postępowania, zarówno w procesie wyrokowania, jak i na etapie wykonania kary – resocjalizacji.
Z rozważań o rosyjsko-francuskim dialogu kulturowym XVIII wieku
Authors: Kazimierczyk-Kuncer Jolanta
Published: June 2018

Referat prezentuje zarys historii mariażu kulturowego Rosji i Francji, począwszy od epizodycznych kontaktów w XVI i XVII wieku, aż po wiek XVIII, który otwiera trwający wiele wieków dialog z Francją. Jej ideowe i kulturowe pryncypia staną się źródłem inspirujących przemian cywilizacyjnych i fundamentem prozachodniej tożsamości niedawnej jeszcze Świętej Rusi, a inicjatorem i propagatorem zachodniej – francuskiej – cywilizacji okaże się „rewolucjonista na tronie” Piotr I. Procesowi postępującej infiltracji francuskiej kultury w Rosji sprzyjać będzie fascynacja córki Piotra I – Elżbiety wszystkim, co z ducha francuskie, co procentować będzie zjawiskiem gallomanii, którego apogeum przypadnie na II połowę XVIII wieku – okres panowania Katarzyny II. Wówczas, w tle rosyjskiej admiracji ideami francuskiego Oświecenia, dzięki przyjaźniom Katarzyny II z encyklopedystami (głównie Wolterem i Diderotem) Rosja ze swym absolutyzmem oświeceniowym aspirować będzie do grona najpotężniejszych mocarstw europejskich.
Художественные функции образа матери в творчестве Михаила Булгакова (на примере избранных произведений)
Authors: Stepnowska Tatiana
Published: June 2018

В творчестве Булгакова образ матери и проблемы материнства появляются крайне редко. Возможно, это связанно с тем, что у писателя никогда не было собственных детей, хотя он был три раза женат и рос в многодетной семье. Булгаков был самым старшим ребенком и остальные братья и сестры воспитывались на его глазах и с его помощью после смерти отца, который скончался в возрасте 48 лет. Автор Мастера и Маргариты создал много необыкновенных и трогательных образов любовниц, женщин, страдающих из-за любви, готовых посвятить себя и даже свою жизнь любимому мужчине. Одним из самых прекрасных и наиболее известных образов матери является образ матери семьи Турбиных в романе Белая гвардия. Ее прототипом была мать писателя – Варвара Михайловна в девичестве Покровская (1869–1922). Роман начинается с ее болезни и смерти, что является предвещанием трагических событий и страданий, которые ожидают ее детей во время гражданской войны. В Мастере и Маргарите на балу сатаны появляется душа матери-убийцы только что рожденного ребенка, в драме о Мольере изображена мать-предательница, которая на предсмертной исповеди выявляет тайну рождения своей дочери, чем уничтожает ее семью. На фоне этих образов матерей мать Турбиных является женщиной идеальной, поэтому писатель определяет ее как «светлую королеву». Этот образ становится своеобразным ключом к пониманию сущности образов молодых Турбиных, которые унаследовали у своей матери нравственный кодекс и способность жертвовать собой ради других.

Published: June 2018

Данная статья посвящена анализу романа Генрика Сенкевича Огнем и мечом и некоторых аспектов его переводов на украинский, русский и английский языки. Благодаря тому, что каждый перевод может быть рассмотрен как самостоятельное литературное произведение, мы можем наблюдать, как меняется (и меняется ли?) интерпретация оригинала в зависимости от культурных ценностей и национального самосознания переводчика. Акцент сделан на авторских и переводческих средствах художественной выразительности, влияющих на эмоции читателя. Кроме того, уделяется внимание тому, как польские исторические реалии переданы в родственных (украинская, русская) и неродственных (английская) культурах. В статье представлены размышления на тему границ компетенций переводчика.

Authors: Kakhki S.F. Fazeli , Goldani M. , Arian A. Ghasemi
Published: June 2018

For studying the effect of magnetic field on the number of capsules in each Sesamum indicum L. node, an experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in Mashhad/Iran during 2017. The experiment consisted of three time use of fixed magnetic field as 1 Tesla (MF1 = 0, MF2 = 1, and MF3 = 10 min), and two kinds of caps as single-cap (CAP1) and multi-cap (CAP2) seeds. The results showed that the highest number of single-cap nodes and multi-cap nodes per plant were obtained from the application of MF3 treatment in CAP2 as 33.9 and 21.9 nodes, respectively and also obtained the highest numbers of capsules per plant with MF3 in CAP2. There was a significant correlation between seed weight and number of capsules per plant too (R=0.53*).

The present study was undertaken to investigate design values of pressurized pumping system. To begin with the estimated range of moisture requirement required to attain sowing moisture for different soil type was determined. For loamy sand soil an application range of aqueous fertilizer was 0.15-092 liter per meter for raising moisture from 3 to 7% to germination moisture of 14 per cent. Whereas, for sandy loam soil the same was 0.17-1.34 liter per meter for raising moisture from 4 to 12 % to germination moisture of 20 per cent and for loam soil it was 0.23-1.59 liter per meter for raising moisture from 8 to 16 % to germination moisture of 27 per cent. Based on estimation, an aqueous fertilizer requirement of 5500 to 8000 l/ha was required in experimental field with clay loam soil. To optimize different pump variables for required discharge rate five levels of pump rotational speeds i.e. 1998, 1665, 1332, 999 and 666 rpm, four levels of line pressure staring from fully opened valve i.e. gauge pressure of 0 kg/cm2, by reducing valve opening area up to 2, 4 and 6 kg/cm2 and three levels of nozzle sizes i.e. 8, 10 and 12 mm were taken. Pump rotational speed influenced discharge directly in a linear manner at fully opened valve for all pump speeds for each nozzle. As line pressure increased the discharge rate decreased. A reduction to the flow of 2 to 6 times was obtained by creating the line pressure through control valve at rotational speed of 1998 to 666 rpm. The selected design values for pressurized pumping system were pump rotational speed from 666, 999, 1332 and 1665 rpm, line pressure of 0, 2 or 4 kg/cm2 and nozzle size of 10 mm.

To evaluate the efficacy of some pre and post-emergence herbicides for weed control in Bt cotton (var. Beejdhan 2), a field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Junagadh (Gujarat, India). The dominant weed flora in cotton field were Digera arvensis, Eluropus villosus, Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon, Echinochloa crusgalli, Chenopodium album, Convolvulus arvensis, Trianthema monogyna, Amaranthus spinosus, Commelina benghalensis and Asphodelus tenuifolius. The results revealed that treatments viz., hand weeding (HW) and interculturing (IC) at 30, 60 and 90 DAS, pendimethalin 0.9 kg ha-1 as pre-emergence fb HW and IC at 30 and 60 DAS, and pendimethalin 0.9 kg ha-1 as pre-emergence fb quizalofop 40 g ha-1 as post-emergence at 45 DAS were found superior to the unweeded check in enhancing growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, number of monopodial and sympodial branches plant-1, number of bolls plant-1, single boll weight and seed cotton weight plant-1 and ultimately increased seed cotton and stalk yields. These treatments also recorded lower dry weight of weeds and weed index along with higher weed control efficiency, net return and B:C ratio as compared to unweeded check.

Published: June 2018

Applications based on neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in English language teaching (ELT) provide various means to makelearning more effective and involving. Nevertheless, research on NLP is often based upon descriptive rather than empiricalresearch. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of NLP applications in ELT via comparing it withcommunicative approach (CA) to language teaching. In this study, a group of 4th grade students (N = 20) were observed in aclassroom in which CA techniques were applied. The students’ frequency of participation was recorded during two lessons. Inanother two classes with the same group of students, the learners’ frequency of participation was evaluated in a classroomsetting where NLP techniques were applied. The results indicate that NLP-related applications are as efficient as CAapplications in achieving high level of learner participation and oral production. Keywords: Neuro-linguistic programming, language teaching, young learners.
PANDANGAN ISLAM TENTANG KEDUDUKAN HAM BAGI NON MUSLIM: Pendekatan Fiqh Politik
Authors: Muzakki Akhmad
Published: June 2018

The concept of human rights is the result of cultural ingredients that are not based on the principle of religion, so it is anthropocentric, that is focused only on the human itself. Even in the secular West's view, human rights are the expression of human freedom irrespective of God's provisions, religion, morals or metaphysical obligations. In contrast to the Islamic view, that human rights and even human beings are God's grace and will come back later. Based on this, human rights in Islam are theocentric, that is aimed at and sourced from God. Islam places human rights as a consequence of the obligation to God. Externally, the Islamic state is totally separate from other non-Islamic communities. Internally, the Islamic state is an ummah and a group of people united with one another by the ties of Islamic (Islamic) equality. States can not impose restrictive measures and diminish their rights altogether.

 

Konsep HAM adalah hasil ramuan budaya yang tidak berpijak pada prinsip agama, maka ia bersifat antroposentris, yakni terfokus hanya pada manusia itu sendiri. Bahkan dalam pandangan Barat sekuler, HAM adalah ekspresi kebebasan manusia yang terlepas dari ketentuan Tuhan, agama, moral atau kewajiban metafisika. Berbeda dengan pandangan Islam, bahwa HAM bahkan wujud manusia sekalipun adalah anugerah Tuhan dan kepada-Nya kelak akan kembali. Berdasarkan ini, HAM dalam Islam bersifat teosentris, yakni bertujuan untuk dan bersumber dari Tuhan. Islam menempatkan HAM sebagai kosekuensi dari pelaksanaan kewajiban terhadap Allah. Secara eksternal, negara Islam sama sekali terpisah dari komunitas lain bukan Islam. Secara internal, negara Islam adalah suatu ummah dan sekumpulan orang-orang yang dipersatukan antara satu dengan yang lain oleh ikatan persamaan agama { Islam ). Negara tidak dapat mengadakan tindakan pembatasan dan pengurangan hak-hak mereka walau sedikitpun.

 

 
PERAN PERGURUAN TINGGI AGAMA ISLAM NEGERI (PTAIN) DALAM MEMASUKI ERA KOMPETISI GLOBAL
Authors: Ghofir Abdul
Published: June 2018

Along the time, it seems the mission of this da'wah is no longer can be maintained, because it is not in accordance with the development and current demands. Besides, the mission of dakwah does not has a significant meaning to the surrounding community. That is, with the existence of IAIN (with its branch faculty) circumstances on the surrounding community does not necessarily become more qualified, either social, moral and spiritual. Even in some areas, existence of IAIN does not provide significant resonance to the community. The presence and absence of IAIN, has no impact directly or indirectly to the public. On the contrary, some areas where there is no IAIN might have a better condition morally and spiritually.

 

Seiring dengan perjalanan waktu, nampaknya misi dakwah ini tidak lagi bisa dipertahankan, karena tidak sesuai dengan perkembangan dan tuntutan jaman. Disamping juga, misi dakwah ini temyata tidak mempunyai makna yang signifikan kepada masyarakat sekitar. Artinya, dengan keberadaan IAIN (dengan fakultas cabangnya) keadaan secara masyarakat sekitar tidak serta merta menjadi lebih berkualitas, baik sosial, moral dan spiritual. Bahkan di beberapa daerah, keberadaan IAIN tidak memberikan resonansi yang signifikan terhadap masyarakat sek:itamya. Ada dan tidak adanya IAIN, tidak memberikan dampak langsung maupun tidak langsung terbadap masyarakat Demikian juga sebaliknya, beberapa daerah yang kebetulan tidak ditempati IAIN (fakultas cabangnya) bukan berarti secara moral dan spiritual lebih jelek dari yang ditempati IAIN.
PENELITIAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA DAN KEAGAMAAN: Kritik dan Tawaran Baru
Authors: Maimun Agus
Published: June 2018

It seems that religious and religious education research activities at PTAI are still monotonous and not varied, and each study dimension is fixed only on one approach, and more around research, apologetic, and nonnative, has not yet touched on development and evaluation. Therefore, religious and religious education research in the future is expected to cross between dimensions, such as the modern development of the Islamic world with the dimension of time as well as geographical space. Thus, it would seem that the broad-cultivation dimensions of research are to be researched and developed. Therefore, scientific studies / scientific methods (including in the field of religious and religious education), are not solely conducted with research, but can also be done with development, and evaluation. Similarly, the area of religious studies can be developed in: (1) sacred texts as the source of religious teachings, (2) the Muslim community structure, and (3) the behavior of Muslim society. With the expansion of these areas of study, it is hoped that Muslim intellectuals can reflect that religions considered sacred and always approached with a normative framework (based on sacred texts), should be changed by a proportional approach to the study of the social sciences

Selama ini terkesan bahwa, kegiatan penelitian pendidikan agama dan keagamaan di PTAI masih bersifat monoton dan tidak variatif, serta pada setiap dimensi kajian hanya terpaku pada satu pendekatan, dan lebih banyak berkisar pada penelitian, apologetik, dan nonnative, belum menyentuh pada pengembangan dan evaluasi. Untuk itu, penelitian pendidikan agama dan keagamaan ke depan diharapkan dapat menyilangkan antar dimensi, misalnya perkembangan modem di dunia Islam dengan dimensi waktu sekaligus ruang geografik. Dengan demikian, akan nampak bahwa, dimensi garapan penelitian culrnp luas untuk diteliti dan dikembangkan. Sebab, pengkajian ilmiah/metode keilmuan (tennasuk dalam bidang pendidikan agama dan keagamaan), tidak semata-mata dilaku.kan dengan penelitian, tetapi juga dapat dilakukan dengan pengembangan, dan evaluasi. Demikian juga wilayah kajian penelitian keagamaan dapat dikembangkan pada: (1) teks-teks suci sebagai sumber ajaran agama, (2) tatanan masyarakat muslim, dan (3) perilaku keagaman masyarakat muslim. Dengan perluasan wilayah kajian tersebut, diharapkan kalangan cendekiawan muslim dapat melakukan refleksi bahwa agama yang dianggap sesuatu yang sacral dan selalu didekati dengan kerangka normatif (berdasar teks-teks suci), harus diubah dengan pendekatan kajian ilmu-ilmu sosial secara proporsional
Los impresos poblanos efímeros. Una mirada a “Tertulia de pulquería”, de José A. Arrieta, 1851
Authors: Rojas Rendón María José Patricia
Published: June 2018

La pintura con escenas costumbristas realizada por José Agustín Arrieta no se limitó a mostrar una mirada documental. “Tertulia de pulquería” se presenta como ejemplo de una construcción visual, que abre la posibilidad de ser entendida a través del proceso habitual de mirar a “la clase peligrosa”. El presente artículo analizará el cuadro de Arrieta a partir de un recurso significativo: la prensa efímera e “inmoral” poblana de 1851 –representada en el cuadro- y la forma en que se vinculó con el sector “peligroso”. El trabajo propondrá una lectura política y social de “Tertulia de pulquería” que permita conocer las circunstancias donde el pintor ejecutó la obra. Las hojas impresas representadas son elementos fundamentales que proponen una visión negativa en la que el artista tomó distancia y denunció un malestar vivido en el año 1851 en Puebla. Este estudio pone énfasis en la importancia de la búsqueda y el análisis de las fuentes primarias obtenidas en los archivos y hemerotecas locales.
