Social Networks and New Media Players
Authors: Praprotnik Tadej
Published: April 2019

The article presents the phenomenon of multimedia production through various types of inclusion and participation offered by the technological formats. The multimedia production of web pages and other cultural products has been a major channel for the democratisation of cultural production and a means for the self-expression of individuals in the public sphere. The digitalisation and growth of social media have challenged the news industry, since the latter has had to adjust its media production both to the rising power of independent publishers on the social media platforms and to the users-turned-publishers. The paper enumerates several advantages of social media activities, most notably the fact that formerly unheard groups can publish online, that social media encourage collaboration among users, etc. Social networks are a useful tool for interactive communication and user collaboration. Moreover, social media have become a powerful tool for publishers and journalists in increasing or keeping their audiences. However, since social networks typically serve interpersonal rather than professional goals, there is a risk that the communication acts performed by journalists via social networks may be misperceived. Interaction via social networks tends to be more personal, interactive, collaborative, and these characteristics are a far cry from the normative ideals of quality journalism.
The Neoliberal Stamp on Post-socialist Art
Authors: Dedić Nikola
Published: April 2019

The main objective of this paper is to provide an outline for a future theorisation of the following question: what is it that specifically determines the art of our time, that is, how do the conditions in which this art is created differ from the conditions in which art was created a decade or even twenty years ago? In order to carry out this analysis, it is necessary to take into account several factors: (a) the specificity of the social order within which the art of our time is created, that is, the evolution of a neoliberal “transition” state and its ideological apparatus; (b) the problem of material work forms, which has to do with economic production models that both contemporary neoliberal state and art are based upon; (c) the issue of value (for want of a better word let us call it “aesthetic”) which is implied or entailed by the work in the field of art.
Maja Smrekar’s Biopolitical Manifesto from a Philosophical Perspective
Authors: Tratnik Polona
Published: April 2019

With her series K-9_topology, Maja Smrekar is challenging anthropocentrism by linking biology and culture, in particular addressing interaction between human and animal species. The artist builds upon the recent scientific findings that it is not only the dog species that has been domesticated; the domestication that took place during evolution is to be considered mutual. Not only has the dog been mastered by the human, but dogs have had an active role in “using” the human species for a more comfortable survival as well. Both species coexist. In the project Ecce Canis Maja Smrekar built upon the sense of smell as an interface used to trigger the emotional connection between the species.

Hybrid Family is another project in the K-9_topology series. In this performance Smrekar nurtured a puppy. By submitting herself to two and a half months of physiological training, she achieved milk production in her breasts. The artist refers to this process as to the process of becoming, of becoming-animal, becoming-woman and becoming m(Other). She is deeply rooted in her own experience at the beginning of the 3rd millennium, when “liberal capitalism finally struck hard into the newborn Slovenian economy”, as she writes in her blog: her parents lost their business, house, cars, forests, meadows and vineyards, and her father committed suicide. She finds her own way of resisting, which is in submitting herself to a “dog-human kinship relationship as a radical intimate action of ‘returning home’”.

In the present paper, the process of becoming mother is analysed in relation to the process of becoming animal. Furthermore, the process of becoming (m)Other is particularly examined with reference to the mother-and-child unity, applying the Umwelt notion and a Hegelian, existentialist feminist and post-structuralist discussion of identity and difference. The process of becoming (m)Other is finally examined as a biopolitical statement or intervention with the investment of the artist’s body. Its purpose is to re-gain the position of power, i.e. to perform an act of resistance to bio-power on and through bodies.
Russian Revolution through the Prism of Srečko Kosovel’s World View and His Poetry
Authors: Erzetič Manca
Published: April 2019

The article deals with the influence of the Russian Revolution as evidenced in Srečko Kosovel’s intellectual and poetic creativity. Multifaceted and complicated, this influence includes socio- critical, cultural-reflexive, aesthetic and poetological aspects. Of key importance is Kosovel’s preoccupation with the crisis of humanity in the historical situation of Europe and of the world in general after the end of the First World War, which affected both individual and community, both worker and nation. While the Russian revolution undoubtedly led Kosovel to believe that the world could become more humane, he cannot be considered a ‘believer of the revolution’ in the sense of adherence to revolutionary ideology. In his view, the role of creating a ‘New Humanity’ definitely belonged to art.
The October Revolution as Leftist Fascism: From the Curbing of Capitalists to the Curbing of Artists
Authors: Nežmah Bernard
Published: April 2019

The paper discusses the phenomenon of the October Revolution through the prism of Lenin’s article The State and Revolution, which describes and anticipates the mechanisms of revolutionary action intended to eliminate the exploitation of the working class and to establish a more just social order. The study compares Lenin’s theory with his revolutionary practice by accentuating the concept of ‘the curbing of capitalists’, illuminated by and examined through a series of synchronic and diachronic perspectives, which ultimately led to the formation of the term ‘enemy of the people’ (‘class enemy’). At the same time, it attempts to define and historically determine the actual duration of the October Revolution. The second part of the paper applies the concept of ‘curbing’ to the situation of artists within the Bolshevik state. Thus it presents a range of artists’ attitudes to the Revolution, which had lumped critical and independent artists together with capitalists as ‘enemies of the people’.
Revolution between Ideology, History and Philosophy: World Imperialism
Authors: Komel Dean
Published: April 2019

The paper addresses the problem of the October Revolution and revolution as such in its historical, ideological and philosophical aspects. The unity of all three aspects and their mutual permeation is reflected in the question how the event of the October Revolution is inscribed into the history of the 20th century, considering that the latter was largely written by this event itself. Being more than just an intra-historical event, revolution presupposes the transformation of history. Thus one needs to ask: What enables a self-transforming history? There is no supernatural force involved: it is rather that the subjectivity of society perceives history and the whole world as space for its own expansion and participation in power. In the context of world history as a self-establishing social power, even communism finally proves to be what it allegedly fights against: world imperialism.

The thesis is based on Ivo Urbančič’s essay from 1971, ‘Lenin’s philosophy’ or Imperialism, and on recent discussions about the possibility of revolution today, which is mentioned in the last part of the article. The rampant imperial expansionism of society as subjectivity must give us pause with the question how there can persist a hope in the meaningfulness of humanity. Does anyone dare to offer resistance, perhaps to launch a revolution?
‘Give Us Bread! Make Peace!’ Hinterland of the (Isonzo) Front, Food Shortage and the Consequences of Revolutionary Events in Russia
Authors: Koren Petra Testen
Published: April 2019

In the hinterland of the Isonzo Front, at the home front, the war was felt particularly through the shortage of food, through hunger. This burden necessarily fell on women, who had to feed themselves and their families. In this case, too, women were expected to act heroically and patriotically, to skimp and save and make sacrifices. In the last war years women became increasingly loud and demonstrated in the streets, demanding ‘bread’ as well as ‘peace’. In Slovenia they flocked to join the declaration movement. For a better tomorrow they demanded rights ‘for the nation’, and voices were even heard in favour of women’s political rights.
A Study on Interleave Division Multiple Access
Authors: R Shah Chirag
Published: April 2019

As wireless broadband communication has been experiencing a tremendous growth in past few year, the demands for various new & advanced multiple access techniques is increasing consistently. We can experience many new multiple access techniques in 3G & 4G. Here in this article we propose the multiple access technique IDMA which was developed with the view of achieving something more in terms of speed and capacity then what we had in 3G. The most important in IDMA is turbo-code which has increased the efficiency of 4G to a larger extent. By using these turbo codes with interleave division multiple excess the data rates 4G technology has been increased significantly. The basic idea behind this article is to lead down how by using interleaver division multiple accesses we can achieve higher coding gain, capacity, high speed (both for uploading & downloading) by using turbo codes along with IDMA.
Asymptomatic Hemangioma of the Duodenum
Authors: Thomas Tristan , Haney Michael , Doepker Matthew
Published: April 2019

Hemangiomas of the small bowel are exceedingly rare benign tumors. When diagnosed they are found in the setting of an acute gastrointestinal bleeding, but can also be involved in intussusception, obstruction, and cause pain. There are few reports of this case over all, and incidental or asymptomatic cases are rare for adult patients. Although computed tomography with angiography or tagged red blood cell scans are pivotal for acute active bleeding, endoscopy has become pivotal in diagnosis of lesions that are quiescent. Management is also variable as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and open surgery have all been utilized with success.

Authors: Salim Mohammed Somiya Gutbi , Adam Mosmar Zemzem Yebio
Published: April 2019

Community based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) is an innovative approach for managing acute malnutrition within the community. This study is a community based cross sectional study among communities covered by CMAM program in Rural Kassala locality, Kassala state, Sudan. The main objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of community outreach workers / volunteers in improving and increasing the coverage of the CMAM program. ENA SMART software was used to calculate the sample size of children under five, a total of (309) was subjected for MUAC and bilateral edema measurements to assess their nutritional status, and their households (200) were interviewed to obtain relevant data. All the community outreach workers / volunteers (62) were targeted by the study.
The study revealed that, the prevalence of acute malnutrition (wasting) was 17.1%, and no significant difference in the prevalence of acute malnutrition between boys and girls (p=0.477). A point coverage calculation was used to estimate services coverage, the coverage of the program estimated by 64.2%. Also the result showed that 67.7% of the cases attending the feeding program were referred by the community outreach workers / volunteers. The study concluded that the community outreach workers / volunteers doing an effective job, but needs more to strengthen their roles of identification and early detection cases.

Initiation of Arterial Stenotic Thrombosis
Authors: IM Noble Mark
Published: April 2019

Current practice in arterial disease is to establish the site of stenosis, to dilate the stenosis with angioplasty or surgical bypass, and to try to maintain the integrity of the arterial lumen with stents. There are either bare stents or drug eluting stents which are more thrombogenic requiring long term dual antiplatelet therapy with its risk of increased bleeding. For coronary disease, this is called Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
Narrating the Gender-equal City - Doing Gender-equality in the Swedish European Capital of Culture Umeå2014
Authors: Hudson Christine , Sandberg Linda
Published: April 2019

There is a powerful narrative of Umeå as a progressive, gender-equal, tolerant city which has been important in relation to the investments in culture that the city has made, including the European Capital of Culture Year 2014. Viewing the city as process, as negotiated and contested representation, we study how narratives of gender-equality figure throughout Capital of Culture year, Umeå2014, and in the projects that were part of it. We examine how the talk about gender-equality interacts with notions of place and how they are interconnected with each other. We are interested in what happens with a major cultural project when gender-equality is emphasized as one of the key values, at the same time as the meaning and content of this concept is not specified. Studying official documents and municipal webpages concerning Umeå as European Capital of Culture, applications for co-funding of cultural projects and news articles, we scrutinize how gender-equality is used and given meaning by looking at the way it is operationalized both by the city officials and by those engaging in cultural activities. Gender equality became something that was highlighted in the bid to become European Capital of Culture and in the making of the programme for the year, and stories about the Umeå2014’s success in implementing a gender-equality perspective have been repeated and woven together into a yet another narrative of Umeå. They became part of an ongoing negotiation of the city’s identity.
Maintaining Urban Complexities: Seeking Revitalization without Gentrification of an Industrial Riverfront in Gothenburg, Sweden
Authors: Olshammar Gabriella
Published: April 2019

This article presents case study research performed in a small-scale and centrally located industrial site by the riverfront in Gothenburg, Ringön. It has been highlighted in municipal visions to develop according to its very own circumstances, meaning small-scale and zoned for industrial use. Being closely located to the historic core of the city and surrounded by large construction sites, Ringön has received a lot of attention lately in local newspapers, research, university education and social media. The area is repeatedly pictured as redundant, with some rough potential to become something of a hipster mekka. However, this coverage mostly recognises newcomers from the creative industries and art, while neglecting existing repair-shops and small-scale manufacturing industries. To picture an area as redundant and in need of improvements, exemplifies a feature of gentrification, where extant qualities are seldom appreciated, and where outsiders define the needs to revitalize.

The purpose is here to understand and shed light on a diversity of perspectives and interests among Ringön stakeholders, i.e. the insiders, who together affect the development in question. In order to grasp the complexity of the process, I develop a many-faceted narrative in line with Bent Flyvbjerg’s approach to case study research. Meaning-making histories and activities that have come forward in field studies are sorted into eras that are considered lost, still alive, almost lost or recently found. This play of thought is inspired by current discourses on worlds coming to an end, as interpreted by Déborah Danowski and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. In addition, the concept of “urban glue” from Nigel Thrift is introduced to illustrate how Ringön embodies an era that is certainly still alive.
Remaking the People’s Park: Heritage Renewal Troubled by Past Political Struggles?
Authors: Pries Johan , Jönsson Erik
Published: April 2019

This article explores how a series of heritage-driven renewal plans in the Swedish city Malmö dealt with a landscape deeply shaped by radical politics: Malmö People’s Park (Folkets Park). Arguing against notions of heritage where the past is essentially considered a malleable resource for present commercial or political concerns, we scrutinise plans for the People’s Park from the 1980s onward to emphasise how even within renewal attempts built on seemingly uncontroversial nostalgic readings of the park’s past, tensions proved impossible to keep at bay. This had profound effects on the studied development process.

Established by the city’s social-democratic labour movement in 1891, the People’s Park is both enmeshed with historical narratives, and full of material artefacts left by a century when the Social Democrats had a decisive presence in the city. As municipal planners and politicians targeted this piece of land, the tensions they had to navigate included not only what present ideas to bring to bear on the making of heritage, but also how to deal with past politics and the park as a material landscape. Our findings point to how the kinds of labour politics that had faded for decades became impossible to dismiss in urban renewal. Both political representations and de-politicising nostalgic representations of Malmö People’s Park’s past provoked (often unexpected) resistance undoing planning visions.
Manchester’s Post-punk Heritage: Mobilising and Contesting Transcultural Memory in the Context of Urban Regeneration
Authors: Brunow Dagmar
Published: April 2019

Urban memories are remediated and mobilised by different - and often conflicting - stakeholders, representing the heritage industry, municipal city branding campaigns or anti-gentrification struggles. Post-punk ‘retromania’ (Reynolds 2011) coincided with the culture-led regeneration of former industrial cities in the Northwest of England, relaunching the cities as creative clusters (Cohen 2007, Bottà 2009, Roberts & Cohen 2014, Roberts 2014). Drawing on my case study of the memory cultures evolving around Manchester‘s post-punk era (Brunow 2015), this article shows how narratives and images travel through urban space. Looking at contemporary politics of city branding, it examines the power relations involved in adapting (white homosocial) post-punk memories into the self-fashioning of Manchester as a creative city. Situated at the interface of memory studies and film studies, this article offers an anti-essentialist approach to the notion of ‘transcultural memory’. Examining the power relations involved in the construction of audiovisual memories, this article argues that subcultural or popular memories are not emancipatory per se, but can easily tie into neoliberal politics. Moreover, there has been a tendency to sideline or overlook feminist and queer as well as Black and Asian British contributions to post-punk culture. Only partially have such marginalised narratives been observed so far, for instance in Carol Morley’s documentary The Alcohol Years (2000) or by the Manchester Digital Music Archive. The article illustrates how different stakeholders invest in subcultural histories, sustaining or contesting hegemonic power relations within memory culture. While being remediated within various transmedia contexts, Manchester’s postpunk memories have been sanitised, fabricating consensus instead of celebrating difference.

Published: April 2019

Granulomatosis with polyangitis (GPA/WG) (previously known as Wegener granulomatosis) is a multisystem systemic necrotizing non-caeseating granulomatous vasculitis affecting small to medium sized arteries, capillaries and veins, with a predilection for the respiratory system and kidneys. The average incidence of this disease is 40-55. 90% of the WG patients have pulmonary involvement. Wegener Granulomatosis is a disease with high mortality when its diagnosis and treatment is delayed. Although WG may have symptoms such as hemoptysis and hematuria, it should be noted that it may present with severe arthralgia and arthritis which may be in many connective tissue diseases and vasculitis. Male patient, 52 years old. Analgesic treatment was applied when he came to the center due to arthralgia two months ago, however, there was no change in his complaints and intra-articular injection treatment was applied on left knee and both shoulders. The symptoms did not regress and the patient lost 20 kg within the last two months. In urine analysis, 14-15 erythrocyte and 10-15 leucocyte detected in every field; 1 positive detected. The patient was hospitalized in order to make further examination upon the determination of CRP: 61mg/L and ESR: 82mm/hr in the next polyclinic control after three days. In the kidney biopsy report, “Pauci-immun glomerulonephritis” was primarily considered in the phenomenon. For the first three days 1 gr pulse and by the fourth day 1 mg/kg methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide treatment was applied.
Hipertexto: Influencia en estructuración del conocimiento
Authors: Amaya Franky German , Gualdrón Pinto Elgar , Fernández Fernández Claudia Yaneth
Published: April 2019

El presente artículo producto de un trabajo de investigación, pretendió identificar la influencia de la lectura hipertextual en la construcción del conocimiento conceptual, teniendo como base que las teorías cognitivas del procesamiento de la información establecen que la información almacenada en la memoria humana se encuentra estructura en una red asociativa de significados y gobernada por las leyes de la asociación. La metodología de investigación se centró en el diseño cualitativo y el tipo de investigación estudio de caso, en el que se configuró una muestra de diez lectores. El modelo de comprensión lectora que orientó teóricamente esta investigación, se ha tomado de los aportes del Modelo Construcción-Integración (MCI) de Kintsch (1988,1998). Los resultados de la investigación permitieron demostrar que la forma como se estructura y diseña el texto en un hipertexto, condiciona la forma como el lector organiza el conocimiento conceptual y cómo estructura la red semántica.
Investigación en el aula como estrategia curricular: Desarrollo de las competencias específicas de la educación artística
Authors: Vásquez Benitez Lylliana
Published: April 2019

La educación Artística, es una de las áreas obligatorias y fundamentales en el ámbito educativo colombiano, sin embargo, ha sido abordada, como una asignatura de poca importancia en el proceso de formación de los estudiantes. Por esta razón la presente investigación determinó la incidencia que puede tener la investigación en el aula como estrategia  curricular, para contribuir en la formación de las competencias específicas del área, con los estudiantes de grado décimo de la educación media. Se abordaron referentes teóricos desde los fundamentos del diseño y desarrollo curricular, la educación por competencias y la investigación en el aula como estrategia para el desarrollo curricular. Se adoptó un diseño de investigación bajo el paradigma teórico crítico de investigación acción, con una muestra de cuarenta estudiantes de grado décimo, se aplicaron tres instrumentos de recolección de datos, la entrevista semiestructurada, la observación y la revisión de documentos institucionales. Se pudo establecer que la estrategia de la investigación en el aula, promueve no solo el alcance de las competencias específicas, sino de las competencias básicas inherentes a todas las áreas. Finalmente se planteó la necesidad de una reestructuración del currículo del área, teniendo como fundamento la investigación en el aula como estrategia de desarrollo curricular, y desde la práctica educativa del docente, como base para el diseño de un currículo pertinente y contextualizado

El objetivo del  presente trabajo es realizar una revisión bibliográfica de las alteraciones estructurales y funcionales del Sistema Estomatognático y cómo la Fonoaudiología participa de su tratamiento. Se realizó una revisión de las bases de datos SCIELO, EBSCO y PubMed entre los años 2009 y 2014, utilizando los descriptores disponibles en DECS, se precisaron las palabras claves, realizando la búsqueda de documentos según criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se encontraron 40 artículos afines, de ellos 10 relacionados con “Sistema Estomatognático”, 21 con “Respiración Bucal” y 9 con “Terapia Miofuncional”, los resultados indican relaciones entre los conceptos,  necesidad de  intervención temprana y multidisciplinaria e  interés entre odontólogos y fonoaudiólogos por las Alteraciones del Sistema Estomatognático y la Terapia Miofuncional. La literatura refiere que el desarrollo normal del Sistema Estomatognático desarrolla funciones deseables, pero las alteraciones de este Sistema  afectan la Respiración, Succión, Deglución, Masticación, Habla y elementos Sociales, Emocionales, Estéticos y Cognitivos. La efectividad terapéutica aumentará cuanto más temprano se intervenga. La eficacia del tratamiento estará relacionada con la terapia combinada miofuncional y odontológica. En Chile no existen Programas de Salud para estos pacientes, se realizan consultas tardías, resultando tratamientos complejos, largos y costosos. La Terapia Miofuncional es la estrategia  principal para el tratamiento de estas Alteraciones, pero falta precisar instrumentos y/o procedimientos terapéuticos en Chile.  Nace la necesidad del trabajo multidisciplinario, junto con estrategias de difusión a la comunidad y a otros especialistas de la importancia de pesquisar posibles alteraciones y dar a conocer la labor del Fonoaudiólogo sobre ellas.

Published: April 2019

Esta investigación se realizó en el Programa de Fonoaudiología de la Universidad Santiago de Cali (USC), con la colaboración de cada uno de los empleadores participantes.  Su objetivo fue caracterizar la percepción de los empleadores frente a la calidad académica de los egresados del Programa. Es un estudio  descriptivo, con una muestra de 23 empleadores que tienen a su cargo a 83 egresados; como recurso metodológico se diseñó un encuesta que califica la apreciación en una escala liker.  Los resultados evidencian que las prácticas formativas son una plataforma para la iniciación laboral del egresado, especialmente en ámbitos clínicos que trabajan áreas de neurodesarrollo y neurohabilitación. Igualmente se determina que la percepción de los empleadores es de orientación positiva en los ejes cognitivos, praxiológicos y actitudinales indagados. Es importante resaltar que los fonoaudiólogos formados en la USC asumen un rol asistencial – empleado; y en poca proporción un rol de empleador siendo relevante fomentar el emprendimiento empresarial. Los resultados se configuran como un momento iniciático en la identificación de  las tensiones entre academia- egresado- empleador, y su continuidad permitirá dar profundidad a la pertinencia social del programa, el proyecto educativo institucional y la articulación entre los propósitos de formación, el horizonte de expectativas del estudiante y las dinámicas de mercado.

The use of high-speed laryngeal images technology contributes increasingly to promote greater objectivity in the characterization of laryngeal physiology, as well as, in the diagnosis and monitoring of laryngeal diseases. Vocal fold paralysis is still an unknown incidence, both in Brazil and in the rest of the World, its occurrence has become more frequent in medical and speech-pathologist clinics. Data mining is the process of analyzing hidden patterns of data according to different perspectives for categorization into useful information. In other words, Data Mining is able to identify patterns between information and grouping them according to some given criteria. Objective: To analyze high-speed kymographic images and voice signals with and without unilateral vocal fold paralysis using the data mining computerized system DAMICORE. Methodology: High-speed kymography and acoustic voice signals of subjects with and without unilateral vocal fold paralysis were analyzed by a computerized data mining tool, the DAMICORE system. Results: Data mining analysis for High-speed kymography of healthy individuals gather the groups by sex, while images from subjects with unilateral vocal fold paralysis were gathered by contrast of colors and by light incidence in the images. For voice signals, the technique considered the presence of external noise as a criterion for gathering groups. Conclusion: We concluded that DAMICORE it is a promising tool for kymographic images and voice signal data mining analysis. This tool shown high sensibility to noise in acoustical signals. Consequently, future research should consider this characteristic.

El siguiente trabajo tiene por objeto el estudio de la eficacia de los ejercicios de tracto vocal semi-ocluido pertenecientes a la tendencia filosófica fisiológica en el tratamiento de las parálisis recurrenciales unilaterales en posición paramedia. Se trata de ejercicios basados en la teoría no lineal de la producción vocal que buscan restablecer el equilibrio entre los sistemas respiratorio, laríngeo y resonancial durante la fonación. Facilitan la interacción fuente-filtro modificando la impedancia del tracto vocal a través de oclusiones y alargamientos del mismo.  Se demuestra la efectividad de dichos ejercicios en seis casos de pacientes con parálisis de cuerda vocal unilateral a los que se les realizó terapia vocal durante tres meses con la tendencia fisiológica. Se realizó una valoración inicial y otra final a través del estudio perceptual, acústico y de tiempos fonatorios e índice s/z para demostrar los cambios obtenidos. Se concluye que los ejercicios de TVSO constituyen una herramienta eficaz en el abordaje de esta patología.

Authors: Montilla Escudero Kelly
Published: April 2019

The characteristic brilliant vocal sound found in musicalgenres as diverse as musical theater, R & B, gospel, salsa,country, pop and opera, will appear named in literatureaccording to the method or vocal school studied. The aimof this article is to clarify the significance of this soundbetween two methods of modern singing, Estill VoiceTraining, exposed by Jo Estill and the Complete VocalTecnique, exposed by Cathrine Sadolin. Twang in theEstill Voice is referenced as a vocal tract configurationthat has as main components a narrow epilaryngealtube, the larynx in a high position, the soft palate ina high position and a light register, in the CompleteVocal Tecnique (CVT) this term it is used to describe thenarrowing of the epilaryngeal tube. Is Twang a vocaltract configuration? Or is it just the modification of thewidth of the epilaryngeal tube?

The aim of this research is to study the mediating role of the learning process in explaining the relationships between certain psychological and biographical characteristics and entrepreneurial intention. The findings suggest that the effect of psychological and biographical aspects on entrepreneurial intention depend on the extent to which students are able to take advantage of their personal capabilities in order to develop an effective learning process. Learning process factors (information about course guides, student effort and educational processes) mediate the relationships between specific psychological factors (achievement need, internal control and autonomy) and entrepreneurial intention. With regard to biographical factors, we find no mediating effect on entrepreneurial intention through the learning process. The present study provides a better understanding of the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention, helping to fill the gap in the literature.
Entrepreneurship Education and Disability: An Experience at a Spanish University

Published: April 2019

The European Commission considers the following groups of entrepreneurs: females, family businesses, liberal professions, migrants, and seniors. Disabled people are not included, and this paper could, therefore, open up a new field of research and an important issue to be considered among the European Union’s social objectives. The University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Spain provides an entrepreneurship education course, “Entrepreneurship and disability,” for disabled students. It is the first time that a course with these characteristics has been taught at a Spanish University, which signifies that there is no similar research of this nature. Keeping in mind its originality, this study makes an important contribution to the field. The main objective is to analyze whether the motivation to start up a business differs between students with disabilities and those without. We analyzed “before” and “after” data in order to test the potential impact of entrepreneurship education on the students’ entrepreneurial attitude. An analysis of variance with several demographic variables has allowed us to prove that the education that students received, their business experience, and their field of study have significant effects. This statistical test showed no significant differences between disabled and non-disabled students.

The present study evaluated the protective effects that are induced by fluoride and Nd:YAG laser irradiation to control dentine erosion. One hundred and twenty bovine dentine slabs were eroded with citric acid twice a day for a total period of 15 days. At day 10, the samples were randomly assigned into eight groups: C (Control); F (Fluoride); L1 (Nd:YAG laser, 1 W, 100 mJ, 79.5 J·cm−2); L2 (Nd:YAG laser, 0.7 W, 70 mJ, 55.7 J·cm−2); L3 (Nd:YAG laser, 0.5 W, 50 mJ, 39.7 J·cm−2); F + L1; F + L2; and, F + L3. Optical Coherence Tomography images were collected from the surface of the samples in order to monitor the alterations that were induced by erosion and the effectiveness of each treatment using the Optical Attenuation Coefficient (OAC). OAC values that were calculated for samples from groups C, F, L1, L3, FL1, and FL3 indicated no protective effects against the progression of erosive lesions. Samples from L2 and FL2 groups presented OAC values, indicating that laser irradiation under this condition did not induce the formation of craters on dentine tissue and promoted sufficient chemical and morphological changes to avoid the progression of dentine erosion.

In order to study the influences of confining pressure and temperature on the shear properties of asphalt mixtures, triaxial tests were conducted at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C, with the confining pressure ranges from 0 to 1 MPa for the widely used continuous-graded AC (Asphalt Concrete)-13, open-graded OGFC (Open-Graded Friction Course)-13, and gap-graded SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt)-13 asphalt mixtures in China. A nonlinear regression/prediction model of triaxial strength for asphalt mixtures was proposed. The results show that confining pressure and temperature had a significant effect on the shear resistance of asphalt mixtures. With increasing temperature, the shear strength of the asphalt mixture gradually decreased due to the decreasing of cohesion strength; the shear strength of the asphalt mixture increased with the increase of confining pressure. Meanwhile, the cohesion strength increased and the friction angle decreased gradually with the increase of confining pressure. When the confining pressure was close to 0.6 MPa, the Mohr–Coulomb failure envelope bended down, so the linear Mohr–Coulomb criterion is not suitable to describe the failure behavior of asphalt mixtures. Therefore, a power function failure envelope was put forward to characterize the nonlinear shear properties of asphalt mixtures. The nonlinear evolutional laws of shear parameters, which includes cohesion strength and friction angle, were also proposed for asphalt pavement material and structure design. Among these asphalt mixtures, the gap-graded SMA-13 asphalt mixture exhibited better performance on the resistance to shear failure, and it was recommended as the upper layer material to improve the shear performance of asphalt pavement.
Effect of Different Acoustic Parameters on NOx Emissions of Partially Premixed Flame

Published: April 2019

The effects of acoustic frequency (f)/0–400 Hz and amplitude (A)/0–1400 Pa on nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions of a partially premixed flame were investigated experimentally. The mechanism of NOx emissions was analyzed by the evolution of the vortex, which was shown by particle image velocimetry (PIV). From the relationship of NOx emission index (EINOx) and acoustic parameters, it was concluded that a critical frequency (fc) from 170 Hz to 190 Hz appeared. When the frequency was less than fc, EINOx decreased linearly with an increase in amplitude. The flame length became shorter, which led to a decrease in the global residence time, and hence, a reduction in reaction time for NOx. However, a direct proportional relationship between EINOx and amplitude was not found when the frequency was larger than fc. Based on PIV particle scattering images, with an increase of the acoustic frequency, the effects of the acoustic field on the flame base became less significant, but the flame length and reaction space of NOx were gradually increased.
