Published: May 2017

Background: Oral hygiene should be educated and practiced at early age as it is one of the determinants of the health state later in one’s life. Dental problems are very much prevalent not only in urban slum owing to poor oral hygiene but also in well-developed urban area due to pursuing bad food habit.  The present study was undertaken to compare the oral hygienic practices among people in both areas. Methods: A cross sectional study carried out in 300 people (>10 years) residing in urban and urban slum of Vejalpur (150 from each area). A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant for applied statistical tests. Results: The present study showed that only 26.7% and 17.2% people in urban and urban slum respectively had habit of brushing both time morning and at night before going to bed. Only 25.7% and 11.8% of people used correct brushing technique. Regarding oral health status 47.4% of people in urban area and 61.1% in urban slum had dental caries. Conclusions: Oral hygienic practices were poor needs educational motivation regarding duration of brushing, appropriate way to brush the teeth, and use of mouthwash.
A clinico-epidemiological study of periorbital melanosis
Authors: David Brinda G. , R. Roshni Menon , Shankar R.
Published: May 2017

Background: Besides the common alterations related to the intrinsic and extrinsic aging processes, there is one that affects individuals of any age, both sexes, and all races the so called dark circles, periorbital darkening or periorbital melanosis. There is scarcity of data regarding the incidence and prevalence of periorbital melanosis due to its transitory nature and lack of reasonable etiological explanation. Aim: To assess the prevalence of periorbital melanosis and to study the epidemiological factors responsible for the occurrence of periorbital melanosis.

Methods: A single centred, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in patients attending the skin OPD of our teaching hospital from Jan 2016 – Dec 2016. A total of 250 patients were included in our study. Patients with hyperpigmentation around the orbital area of all ages and both genders were included in the study. A careful physical examination to detect involvement of upper or lower or both eyelids and extension beyond the periorbital region, colour of hyperpigmented areas (light brown/dark brown/red/blue), presence of any dermatological disease or scar in periorbital region were assessed. A detailed history was taken including duration of the condition, family history, history of atopy or drug intake, associated faulty habit or lifestyle.

Results: Based on the type of POM, vascular POM (44%) was found to be the most common type among our patients followed by constitutional (33.2%), post-inflammatory (13.6%) and shadow type (9.2%). Among the various factors for POM watching TV for more than 8 hours/day, usage of spectacles, sleeping habit of less than 6 hours/day, habit of regularly rubbing the eye, family history of POM, associated systemic disease like anaemia and irregular menstruation and associated skin lesion like atopic dermatitis had shown a strong association (odds ratio >0.8) in the development of POM.

Conclusions: It is very much essential to classify and grade the peri-orbital melanosis and to determine the causative factors which would help us to intervene earlier and that would result in a better prognosis.

Authors: Gopal Vaishnavi , Shenoy Manjunath Mala , Pinto Malcolm
Published: May 2017

Background: Common warts are cutaneous viral infections caused by various strains of human papilloma virus (HPV). Their variants include filiform, periungual and pigmented warts. At present more than 200 different HPV genotypes have been detected and a periodic clinical analysis will reveal whether any new morphological variations have occurred.

Methods: Hundred and ten patients with common warts were taken up for this study.

Results: The clinical characteristics of 637 common warts in 110 patients were studied over a span of 1 and a half years. The age group ranged from 18 years to 72 years. Seventy six were males and 34 were females. Majority belonged to the age group of 18-30 years. The most common occupational group involved were students followed by housewives. The initial site of onset in 44.5% of patients was on the fingers. Eleven patients had atopic diathesis. Similar complaints in friends and family were seen in 30%. The most common sites of involvement for classical common warts were on the fingers and for filiform warts were on the head. 30% had association with other warts out of which 28.1% had palmoplantar warts.

Conclusions: Common warts usually present as a cosmetic concern in most patients. Our study concluded that young male students are susceptible to acquiring them. Characteristics of warts in atopics did not differ significantly from non atopics. Regions most prone to contact and susceptible to trauma are the most common sites of inoculation i.e. fingers, scalp and face.

Authors: Nargis Thansiha , Bejai Vishal , Pinto Malcolm , Shenoy Manjunath Mala
Published: May 2017

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss affecting up to 80% of the men. It manifests mostly after puberty and is evident by the age of 30. Nowadays the onset of AGA is much earlier and most of them develop AGA in early twenties. Risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and prevalence of AGA in the family are considered to contribute to the early onset. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of and to determine risk factors for AGA in adult males.

Methods: A total of 103 patients above 18 years of age attending the dermatology OPD were included in the study. Epidemiological data was collected using a standard questionnaire.

Results: In the study population, 68% patients were in the age group 21-30 years. No association was noted between smoking and the age of onset of AGA. An early age of onset was associated in patients with history of alcohol consumption (73.3%). Prevalence of familial AGA was seen in 68% and had a paternal inheritance (62.8%) more than maternal (8.6%). Associated systemic diseases were seen in 12.6% of the patients and hypertension was the most common.

Conclusions: AGA is a very common presenting complaint in the younger population. The early onset of AGA itself causes anxiety and apprehension in the patients that further contribute to the hair loss. The presence of a family history in the patients’ needs for an early management of the disorder. Environmental factors like smoking and alcohol consumption thought to play a role in the aetiology of the disease.

Application of thermoplastic hardening for restoration of fatigue durability of gas turbine disks
Authors: Vishnyakov M. A.
Published: May 2017

The main concern of the paper is the research of expediency of applying the method of thermoplastic hardening to restore the performance of the essential parts of gas turbine engines with expired service life. For this purpose at the first stage the known repair technologies the main objective of which was to increase the operability of parts by restoring the mechanical characteristics of their material are analyzed. It was found that the technologies applied do not make it possible to achieve the goal due to the formation of tensile residual stresses in the surface layer of the part as well as the distortion of the structure of the material the part is made of and, as a consequence, the reduction of its mechanical characteristics. The method of thermoplastic hardening makes it possible to create favorable tensile residual stresses while maintaining the initial structure of the material. The fatigue tests carried out confirmed the efficiency of applying the method of thermoplastic hardening at the final stage of technology of restoring the parts performance. It is shown that the difference of the endurance limits of new parts and those restored according to the proposed technology of repair using the method of thermoplastic hardening is 5%.

Authors: Salakhova R. K. , Semenychev V. V. , Tihoobrazov A. B.
Published: May 2017

The paper presents the results of measuring specific electrical conductivity (SEC) of chromium and nickel plating electrolytes with the help of a non-contacting conductivity meter of the CRAB-d 064 type in temperature intervals corresponding to the working ranges of electrochemical deposition processes. A schematic diagram of the apparatus for the measurement of electrolyte SEC is presented. Electrolytes based on chromium compounds of varying degrees of valence (Cr3+ Cr6 +) and a standard nickel electrolyte (Watts electrolyte) were chosen as the objects of study. The dependence of the SEC of electrolytes on their temperature is analyzed, a comparative assessment of the impact of temperature on the electrical conductivity of various chroming electrolytes is given.

The influence of addition of nanoparticles of aluminum oxide and silicon carbide with the dispersion of 40-100 nm and a specific surface area of 23-32 m2 / g on the amount of electrical conductivity of an oxalate-sulfate electrolyte for chromium plating at a specified temperature is investigated. The study of nanosuspensions showed that the addition of nanoparticles of different nature with the concentration of 5-10 g / l to an electrolyte has no significant effect on the value of SEC.

To evaluate the relationship between the electrolyte conductivity and process parameters of electrodeposition of chromium and nickel coatings a qualitative assessment of chromium and nickel current output was performed and bar graphs showing the ratio of the values of the electrolyte electrical conductivity and the metal current output are presented. It has been established that the electrical conductivity of electrolytes and the metal current output are parameters that do not depend on each other.

Published: May 2017

The paper discusses the vibrations of bladed disks with non-identical blades. Eigenvalues of this disks due to violation of rotational symmetry is always the case of the harmonic distortion of the distribution of the displacement along the circumference (the eigenvalues distortion). It has been established that the magnitude of distortion, and hence the degree of disruption of rotational symmetry of a wheel depends not only on how much different vanes from one another, but also from connection oscillations. By the calculation and experimental way it is studied distortion of eigenvaluesof bladed disks in violation of rotational symmetry with decreasing vibration connectedness up (by increasing the thickness of the disk) to its complete disappearance on an example of a model bladed disk.Introduced a coefficient of quantitatively assessing the value of the degree of violation of rotational symmetry. As an example of mode shapes represented by the bladed disks of the NK-12 compressor. A decrease in the vibration connectedness leads to a distortion in the beginning of the distribution of the harmonic offsets, and then to localize forms. It was noted that localized forms are not self-equilibrated and may lead to excitation of oscillations of the rotor.

Galerucella placida Baly is a small leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. which feeds on aquatic weed Polygonum hydropiper Linn. The insect was reported from various regions of India during 1910-1936. Investigation on some biological parameters of G. placida and feeding of the P. hydropiper by G. placida was conducted in laboratory. The results indicated the fecundity of G. placida was 710-1210 eggs per female. Eggs were markedly bright yellow, pyriform basally rounded and oval at tip. It measured 0.67 mm in length and 0.46 mm in width. Average incubation period was 3.80 days. Larvae of G. placida underwent three moults. The first instar larva was yellow in colour and measured 1.26 mm in length and 0.40 mm in width. The second instar was yellowish in colour but after an hour of feeding, the colour of the grub changes to blackish brown from yellow. It measured 2.64 mm in length and 0.77 mm in width. The third instar measured 5.59 mm in length and 1.96 mm in width. The average total larval duration of G. placida was 13.30 days. The fully developed pupa looked black in colour and measured 4.58 mm in length and 2.37 mm in width. Adult 4.50 days. The adult female was bigger than male. The adult male measured 5.60 mm in length and 2.35 mm in width and adult female measured 6.25 mm in length and 2.50 mm in width. Longevity of adult male was 35.40 days and while female was 40.40 days. Total life cycle duration of G. placida was completed in 21.60 days from egg to adult emergence. The damage was caused by both adult as well as grubs. At high population densities of adults and grubs, complete defoliation was seen. The average leaf area scrapped by larva and adult was 511.61 sq. cm and 866.35 sq. cm respectively.

Economía del conocimiento, crisis financiera y depresión
Authors: Pagano Ugo , Rossi Maria Alessandra
Published: May 2017

Este artículo revisa una rama reciente de investigación que subraya que las actuales instituciones de la economía del conocimiento ponen en peligro la promesa de crecimiento y prosperidad que se atribuye al mayor uso del conocimiento. La privatización excesiva del conocimiento genera círculos viciosos y virtuosos de acumulación de propiedad intelectual e inversión en capital humano que se auto refuerzan y aumentan la desigualdad global. Las actuales instituciones de la economía global también reducen las oportunidades de inversión globales, una de las causas de la actual depresión global. Sin antídotos espontáneos contra esos fenómenos, la política económica y la científica deberían intentar corregir, en forma coordinada y global, el balance entre conocimiento público y privado.

Sobre la reforma tributaria estructural que se requiere en Colombia
Authors: Espitia Jorge , Ferrari César , Hernández Gonzalo , Hernández Isidro , González Jorge Iván , Reyes Luis Carlos , Villabona Jairo Orlando , Zafra Gustavo
Published: May 2017

Este artículo examina las características de una reforma tributaria estructural y equitativa. La tributación no solo determina el recaudo, también incide en el aparato productivo y en la equidad. En Colombia la presión tributaria es muy baja, y los recursos son insuficientes para suministrar bienes públicos esenciales. El sistema impositivo debería contribuir a consolidar una “nueva economía”, como la llama el gobierno, que impulse la industria, la agricultura y el turismo, y dependa menos de los hidrocarburos. Los impuestos deben favorecer la equidad, por ello la tributación directa debería aumentar en forma progresiva, con una tarifa mayor a medida que crece el ingreso. La reforma tributaria recién aprobada mejora el recaudo, pero no favorece la nueva economía ni la equidad, pues dio excesivo peso al iva y muy poco a los impuestos de renta y patrimonio.
Fiscalidad en el Estado Soberano del Tolima, 1863-1885
Authors: Pinto Joaquín , Kalmanovitz Salomón
Published: May 2017

El Estado Soberano del Tolima era uno de los más pobres y conflictivos de la Colombia federal. Su principal fuente de riqueza fue la exportación de tabaco y añil durante breves periodos de auge, cuyo declive subsanó en parte la colonización antioqueña, la cual imprimió cierto dinamismo al norte del Estado. La heterogeneidad de las élites dirigentes provocó numerosos enfrentamientos, agravados por las guerras civiles nacionales. Aunque tuvo grandes dificultades para construir Estado en su territorio, el Tolima logró algunos avances en su organización política, en sus finanzas y, sobre todo, en la cobertura de la educación pública.

Simple Decision Procedure for S5 in Standard Cut-Free Sequent Calculus
Authors: Indrzejczak Andrzej
Published: May 2017

In the paper a decision procedure for S5 is presented which uses a cut-free sequent calculus with additional rules allowing a reduction to normal modal forms. It utilizes the fact that in S5 every formula is equivalent to some 1-degree formula, i.e. a modally-flat formula with modal functors having only boolean formulas in its scope. In contrast to many sequent calculi (SC) for S5 the presented system does not introduce any extra devices. Thus it is a standard version of SC but with some additional simple rewrite rules. The procedure combines the proces of saturation of sequents with reduction of their elements to some normal modal form.

Концепт «osud» ‘судьба’ в романе М. Кундеры «Книга смеха и забвения» в контексте славянской традиционной культуры
Authors: Стефанский Евгений
Published: May 2017

Автор подчеркивает характерную для традиционной славянской культуры связь концепта «Osud» ‘судьба’ с плохим и хорошим временем. Показательно, что многие слова с темпоральным значением на протяжении своей истории могли приобретать в славянских языках семантику судьбы. В романе Кундеры концепт «Osud» сопровождается словом skvrna ‘пятно, порок’, которое связано с представлениями о ритуальной нечистоте, вызванной скоромной пищей.В сознании главного героя первой части романа Мирека его жизнь отделяется от судьбы. Он стремится вычеркнуть из своей жизни то, что недостойно его судьбы, и оказывается таким же переписчиком истории, как и коммунистический режим, с которым он борется.
Проблемы заимствования: варианты новых иноязычных слов в русском языке
Authors: Кальнова Ольга
Published: May 2017

Период конца XX – начала XXI века в развитии русского языка характеризуется как время активного пополнения его словарного состава новыми иноязычными словами и элементами. Процесс заимствования иноязычных слов и их освоения сопровождается вариативностью иноязычных неологизмов, что порождает трудности в их освоении. Материалы современных словарей обнаруживают тенденцию к увеличению доли варьирующихся слов в составе иноязычных неологизмов (от 2 и даже до 3 % словника). В словарях и текстах отмечаются следующие типы вариантов: графические, орфографические, фонемно-орфографические, акцентологические, а также варианты комбинированного типа, различающиеся не менее чем двумя дифференциальными признаками. Графическое варьирование, которое считалось чрезвычайно редким для русского языка явлением, в современный период приобрело значительные масштабы. Наличие орфографических и фонемно-орфографических вариантов отражает недостаточную степень освоения слова. Значительное число вариантов и разнообразие противопоставленных признаков, с одной стороны, отражает реальную картину освоения новой иноязычной лексики. С другой стороны, это чрезвычайно осложняет лексикографическую обработку таких слов и характеристику вариантов. Установление единообразия в написании и произношении иноязычных неологизмов является неотъемлемой частью их освоения и представляет собой долгий и сложный процесс.

PKP S.A. posiada w zarządzaniu ponad 100 tys. nieruchomości. W wyniku zmian społeczno-gospodarczych, postępu technologicznego, wiele z tych nieruchomości stało się zbędnych z punktu widzenia działalności prowadzonej przez PKP. Poza użytkowaniem nieruchomości PKP na potrzeby organizacji transportu kolejowego, część z nich może być wykorzystana na cele mieszkaniowe lub komercyjne i inwestycyjne. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja gruntów należących do PKP S.A. w małych miastach województwa łódzkiego oraz ocena ich atrakcyjności inwestycyjnej dla potrzeb działalności niezwiązanej z transportem kolejowym.
Organizacja i świadczenie usług komunalnych w małych miastach na przykładzie gmin miejskich województwa łódzkiego
Authors: Stachowicz Monika
Published: May 2017

Organizacja usług komunalnych należy do zadań własnych gminy. W artykule przedstawiono zakres oraz sposób organizacji i świadczenia usług komunalnych, a także porównano taryfy opłat i cen oraz dochody i wydatki budżetowe, związane z sektorem usług komunalnych, w pięciu małych miastach województwa łódzkiego. Z danych wynika m.in., że usługi wodno-kanalizacyjne, oczyszczania miasta, utrzymania zieleni oraz odbiór i zagospodarowanie odpadów komunalnych są w tych miastach standardem, choć wyraźne różnice występują w gęstości sieci przesyłowych oraz w poziomach upowszechnienia usług.

Authors: Szaton Karolina
Published: May 2017

Przedmiotem prezentowanych badań są związki krajobrazowe obszarów przyrodniczych i poprzemysłowych, przyjęte jako kryterium delimitacji struktury organizacyjno-przestrzennej o cechach obszaru funkcjonalnego. Charakterystyczna struktura przestrzenna rozproszonych dzielnic aglomeracji górnośląskiej, przyrównanych do „małych miast”, jest wyrazem przestrzennym tych związków. Celem badań jest wskazanie możliwości ochrony wartości przyrodniczych i kulturowych wskazanych obszarów, a także rozwój ośrodków lokalnych, w odniesieniu do tematu zintegrowanego podejścia terytorialnego.
Tradycyjna architektura Golęczewa i jej wpływ na zabudowę współczesną
Authors: Zierke Piotr
Published: May 2017

Praca prezentuje wyniki badania dotyczącego tradycyjnej architektury w miejscowości Golęczewo koło Poznania oraz jej wpływu na zabudowę współczesną. Analiza, która stanowi jeden z etapów badań nad architekturą wernakularną Wielkopolski została przeprowadzona w oparciu o autorską metodę badawczą, pozwalającą na waloryzację budynków na podstawie parametrów ich formy architektonicznej oraz usytuowania. Jej głównym celem było zdefiniowanie tradycyjnych elementów architektury w danej miejscowości oraz skonfrontowanie ich z nowoczesnymi formami spotykanymi w budynkach mieszkalnych powstałych po II wojnie światowej. Przedmiotem badań było także określenie relacji między architekturą tradycyjną i współczesną oraz poszukiwanie najlepszych przykładów nowoczesnych budynków, które odwołują się do lokalnych tradycji budowlanych. Autor pracy poszukuje odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy w dobie ogólnie dostępnych katalogów domów typowych oraz nie zawsze wystarczających wytycznych zawartych w aktach prawa miejscowego, budynki współczesne odwołują się swoimi formami do tradycyjnej architektury regionu.

Linguistic Equivalence of the Hebrew Term Eden in Slavic Translations of the Bible
Authors: Kawecka Agata , Zarębski Rafał
Published: May 2017

The authors study different equivalents of the Hebrew word Eden in selected old and new Slavic translations of the Bible. The equivalents of this lexeme have been excerpted from several Slavic translations of the Bible, which were selected on the basis of diverse criteria. The translations are presented chronologically and old translations are opposed to the new ones. They represent three groups of Slavic languages: West Slavic, East Slavic and South Slavic and are connected with the base of translation, i.e. the original text and/or Greek or Latin text. They can also be classified according to religious denomination and the strategy of the translation.The observation of those equivalents enables us to see not only their variety and mutual influence among translations but also the struggle of Slavic translators with a very difficult language matter. Many factors were important in that struggle: genetic and structural distances between Semitic and Slavic languages, different perceptions of reality in distant cultures, the discrepancy between biblical and Slavonic realities and the influence of religious denomination. Another important factor was the state of biblical knowledge at the time – incomparably poorer in the case of the oldest Slavic translations in comparison to modern ones.
The Place of the Mihanović Psalter in the Fourteenth-Century Revisions of the Church Slavonic Psalter
Authors: MacRobert Catherine Mary
Published: May 2017

Modern scholarship on the textual history of Church Slavonic biblical translation recognizes two distinct revisions of the Church Slavonic Psalter from the early fourteenth century, Redaction III (sometimes called the ‘Athonite’ redaction) and Redaction IV, known only in the Norov psalter manuscript. Although they are both attested from the same period and in manuscripts of similar Bulgarian provenance, these two redactions are in some respects systematically different in their linguistic character, their approach to translational issues and their Greek textual basis. In the light of A.A. Turilov’s observation that the Mihanović Psalter, possibly the earliest witness to Redaction III, is written in the same hand as the greater part of the Norov Psalter, this paper examines the textual antecedents of the two redactions and the importance of the Mihanović Psalter as a link between them.
Dots and Acute Accent Shapes in the Dobrejšo Gospel
Authors: Vakareliyska Cynthia M.
Published: May 2017

This paper examines the distribution of three types of sporadic and infrequent diacritics in the Dobrejšo Gospel and their functions: a dot or acute-accent shape over a liquid consonant letter in OCS trъt/trьt formations, and, more rarely, over other consonant letters in clusters; a single or multiple acute-accent shape over the letter л or н in certain words; and a titlo over unabbreviated words containing OCS trъt/trьt formations.

Adversus Iudaeos in the Sermon Written by Theodore Syncellus on the Avar Siege of AD 626
Authors: Hurbanič Martin
Published: May 2017

A sermon attributed to Theodore Syncellus (Theodoros Synkellos) is considered as one of the basic sources for the study of the Avar siege of Constantinople in AD 626. Therefore, the most historians paid more attention to the analysis of its historical background than to its ideological content. From the ideological point of view, the document serves as an evidence that a fear for the future of the Empire and its capital Constantinople began to rise within emerging Byzantine society. The Avar siege served its author mainly as a model for developing his polemics with imaginary Jewish opponents and their religion. It deserves to be included in a long succession of similar polemical treatises, which have existed in Christianity from its earliest times.
Medical Science of Milk Included in Celsus’ Treatise De medicina
Authors: Kokoszko Maciej , Dybała Jolanta
Published: May 2017

Milk was a very significant food product in the Mediterranean. The present study is not devoted to milk as such, but to therapeutic galactology, galaktologia iatrike (γαλακτολογία ἰατρική), a version of which is extant in De medicina penned by a Roman encyclopaedist called Celsus. The author places milk and milk-derived products among therapeutic substances, indicates the methods of processing such substances, and also provides the readers with details on dietary and pharmacological characteristics of dairy foods as well as indicating their place in a number of cures. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the characterizations of milk and dairy products with regard to their dietary properties and application as pharmakon (φάρμκον) are not an exclusive feature of De medicina, but they are regularly mentioned not only in medical works, such as De diaeta I–IV, teachings of Dioscorides, extant fragments penned by Rufus of Ephesus, Galen, Oribasius, Aetius of Amida and Paul of Aegina, but also in Historia naturalis by Pliny. This is a clear sign that milk was considered to be significant from the medical point of view and was as such very interesting both for the medical profession and for general public. Therefore De medicina appears as a typical work, and details contained in it are simply a testimony of the evolution of the doctrine that was already present in De Diaeta I–IV and later developed by the most prominent physicians.
Bread as Food and Medicament in Oribasius’ Writings
Authors: Kokoszko Maciej , Jagusiak Krzysztof , Dybała Jolanta
Published: May 2017

Treatises left by Oribasius (first and foremost his Collectiones medicae and Eclogae medicamentorum) preserve a vast body of information on the varieties of bread eaten in late antiquity, characterise them from the point of view of dietetics, list medical conditions in which a given variety is especially beneficial, and name medical preparations which include the product. The present study elaborates on Oribasius’ dietetic knowledge and his input into the development of dietetic discourse (namely his influence on Byzantine dietetic doctrine), determines Oribasius’ main information sources on bread, characterises bread as food, lists varieties which were thought to be used by physicians and explains reasons for the preferences, and finally exemplifies cures and medical preparations which include bread.
Verses of Faith and Devotion. Seeing, Reading, and Touching Monumental Crucifixes with Inscriptions (12th–13th century)
Authors: Marušić Matko Matija
Published: May 2017

The paper discusses a group of monumental crucifixes from the 13th-century East Adriatic and Italy, pained or executed in low relief, that display a verse inscriptions on the transverse limb of the cross. The main scope of the paper is to examine the provenance of the text inscribed in order to yield clearer insight into their function, use and original location in the church interiors. The paper specifically aims at analyzing three monumental crucifixes from the East-Adriatic city of Zadar which, although have already been the subject of a respectable number of studies, have not attracted attention as objects of devotion. My interest, therefore, is turned towards verse inscription as their distinctive feature and, as I shall argue, a key aspect in understanding their function. Examining the nature of the text displayed, iconography and materiality of these crucifixes, my main argument is to demonstrate how these objects provoked a multi-faced response from their audience, since were experienced by seeing, hearing and touching respectively.

The trial follows the methodology of Organizational Intervention (Vargas-Hernandez, 2014); i.e. in three main areas that constitute the components of the classic strategic model of organizations (Vargas-Hernandez, p.44): the organizational structure axis, the axis of processes / technologies and mainly the third axis corresponding human behavior.
Além da publicidade: estratégias da promocionalidade no lançamento de um programa televisivo
Authors: Rabaiolli Janderle
Published: May 2017

O artigo parte da ampliação da noção de publicidade, abordando a promocionalidade como movimento inerente ao fazer televisual, que se expande para outras plataformas, promovendo pessoas, marcas, produtos, eventos, etc. Assim, objetiva analisar as estratégias promocionais empregadas no lançamento de uma telenovela. Procurando entender o dito e como se diz, ou seja, os mecanismos discursivos empregados para promover o programa, recorre à semiótica como aporte teórico-metodológico que embasa o exame dos textos e de sua relação com o contexto. Como resultados observam-se: engenharia voltada à valorização da emissora; diversidade de formatos que flutua entre a reiteração e a inovação; percurso discursivo multiplataforma de apresentação da telenovela e que visa a consolidar o programa midiático como marca. Entende-se que a emissora realize uma promoção cruzada, recorrendo à web para reverberar o programa televisivo em busca do efeito de infinitas possibilidades, distante da plenitude da televisão interativa.
