Raznojezičnost in medjezikovno razumevanje ter njuno vključevanje v učenje tujih jezikov
Authors: Mertelj Darja
Published: December 2017

Prispevek prinaša strnjen pregled glotodidaktičnega dogajanja in preučevanja, ki ima za poglavitni cilj razvijanje raznojezičnosti učencev in medjezikovno razumevanje, slednjega kot podpore raznojezičnosti in družbene večjezičnosti v Evropi, kar je bilo v preteklih dveh desetletjih predmet naraščajoče pozornosti. V prvem delu prispevka so predstavljeni visokošolski raziskovalni in aplikativni projekti (»Jessner«, »Gooskens«, »Prokopowicz«) o omenjenih temah, ki so prispevali k večjemu razumevanju raznojezičnosti in medjezikovnega razumevanja kot pojavov ter k nastajanju predlogov učnih načrtov, ki bi razvijali raznojezičnost ter večjezikovno in večkulturno družbo (na primer CARAP / FREPA, slov. ROPP). Projekti so se osredotočali na germansko ali romansko jezikovno družino, ali na kombinacijo z angleščino. Posredno ali neposredno je njihov namen razvijanje medjezikovnega razumevanja in/ali raznojezičnosti, vključujejo pa tudi jezikoslovne analize. Pregledu sledi nekaj primerov iz osnovnošolskega in srednješolskega okolja (razvijanje medjezikovnega razumevanja iz nemškega prostora). V drugem delu članka pa je povzet primer s platforme za »raznojezičnosti plus medjezikovno razumevanje«, kjer gre prav za udejanjanje principov razvijanja medjezikovnega razumevanja in raznojezičnosti, ki prikaže, kako (lahko) tovrstno »e-učenje z e-delovanjem« (raznojezično sporazumevanje v klepetalnici) prispeva k razvijanju tudi drugih ciljev, npr. k povečevanju učenčevega zavedanja o svojih procesih razvijanja medjezikovnega razumevanja, raznojezičnih učnih strategij in motivacije.
Les métaphores synesthésiques et le son
Authors: Primožič Jerneja
Published: December 2017

En conclusion, sur la base de nombreux parallélismes et concordances au niveau de la description synesthésique des sensations acoustiques (le choix de lexèmes et leur valeur connotative lexicalisée ou (con)textuelle) on suppose qu’il s’agit d’un phénomène relativement universel et que les constructions synesthésiques reposent sur nos expériences perceptives universelles et se développent sous l’influence du contexte socio-culturel. Outre la description dénotative et connotative d’un phénomè auditif il y a aussi la répartion des classses sensorielles servant de domaine source qui se ressemblent dans les deux langues. Ce sont les lexèmes de la modalité tactile qui prévalent dans la description synesthésique, suivent les lexèmes de la perception visuelle, puis ceux du goût et finalement ceux appartenant au domaine olfactif. Il est vrai aussi que la classe de mots prédominante est, comme prévu, l’adjectif et que les lexèmes désignant les perceptions des sens inférieurs sont plus fréquemment dotés d’une valeur connotative comparé aux sens supérieurs. On affirme par ailleurs l’hypothèse que la proportion de lexèmes connotés et neutres est équilibrée.

Evaluation of the Structural Stability of an Octagonal Dome with Meridional Cracks. Case Study: Temple of Santa Lucia, Ambalema, Colombia
Authors: Olmedo Montoya Jorge , Niglio Olimpia , Brigith Romero Karol
Published: December 2017

This work performed a comparative analysis between the construction process carried out when building the dome at the Temple of Santa Lucía, in Ambalema-Colombia and the typical process of an octagonal dome. Additionally, the structural stability is assessed of the dome of the case study against service and dynamic loads. To compare with the case study, known domes were taken as examples from structures in Italy and Spain. The analysis includes a study on the dome’s geometry and the constructive errors found. Methodology: The dome’s stability was evaluated through structural analysis software for which the dome was simplified into a system of four articulated arches. Conclusions: As a result, it was found that the dome of the temple of Santa Lucía does not have a system to counteract lateral thrusts (a drum or its similar), which permitted the appearance and widening of meridional cracks. These cracks propagate from the base to the crown, but do not compromise the structure’s stability for service loads. The analysis for seismic loads indicates that the dome is at risk of collapse upon seismic events, even of moderate magnitudes. Originality: The study is aimed at architects and engineers interested in the theme of restoration of historical structures.
Prospecção acadêmica dos projetos financiados sobre dengue no Brasil: uso da ferramenta Scriptlattes como apoio ao planejamento de pesquisas em Saúde Pública
Authors: Motta Lara Jansiski , Ferraz Renato Ribeiro Nogueira , Quoniam Luc , Mena-Chalco Jesús Pascual
Published: December 2017

Introdução: A dengue é uma Doença Negligenciada (DN) caracterizada por infecção aguda, podendo apresentar evolução grave de acordo com a forma com que se apresenta. Por ter se tornado um problema de saúde pública com grande impacto, requer acompanhamento e análises constantes. Objetivo: Mapear e analisar os projetos de pesquisa, de mestrado, doutorado e pós-doutorado, em andamento em 2013 no Brasil e relacionados à dengue, e que possuíam apoio de órgãos de fomento, para criar uma prospecção dos futuros resultados bem como do seu potencial de aplicação para controle da doença, com base nos dados da Plataforma Lattes. Metodologia: Utilizou-se a ferramenta Scriptlattes, com base em arquivos-texto contendo as listas dos pesquisadores, professores e alunos que possuíam o descritor “dengue” em seus currículos, em algum Grupo de Pesquisa em que estivessem cadastrados, ou que tivessem alguma publicação em parceria com os pesquisadores que atendiam as exigências anteriores. Resultados: Notou-se que os estudos relacionados ao aperfeiçoamento dos fármacos para imunização foram os mais frequentes, e em sua maioria destacavam como próximo passo a necessidade da verificação da eficácia de tais fármacos, o que seria uma tendência para os próximos projetos. Conclusão: Os projetos vigentes à época desta experimentação pouco contribuíram para mudar o atual panorama do Brasil em relação à dengue. O olhar prospectivo aqui demonstrado permite a identificação de oportunidades para parcerias entre empresas e centros de pesquisas, além do apoio dos órgãos governamentais de fomento à pesquisa com foco nas principais necessidades do país.

Authors: Coneglian Caio Saraiva , Gonçalez Paula Regina Ventura Amorim , Santarém Segundo José Eduardo
Published: December 2017

Os profissionais da informação são desafiados a trabalhar com a rapidez imposta tanto pela geração de informação e de dados, quanto pela variedade de fontes em que elas se encontram, assim, sua atuação se apresenta como fundamental ao buscar a sinergia entre as necessidades de gestores e a expertise dos profissionais da computação.  Nesse cenário o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar e discutir a intersecção entre as funções executadas pelos administradores (gestores), cientistas da computação e dos profissionais da informação em ambientes de Big Data Analytics. A metodologia utilizada é de caráter qualitativo, sendo a pesquisa exploratória, visto que, partiu dos estudos da Ciência da Informação, do Profissional da Informação e do Big Data, para estabelecer um elo entre tais conceitos. Como resultado demonstra-se e descreve-se a atuação do profissional da informação em todas as fases da análise dos dados. Verificou-se uma intersecção entre a proposta de relacionamento entre os atores “Administrador”, “Profissional da Informação” e “Profissional da Computação”, com o chamado cientista de dados, em que devido a diferentes competências exigidas do cientista, conclui-se que tanto o profissional da informação quanto o profissional da computação podem se especializar nesta área, atuando em campos diferentes, mas complementares, fornecerão informações em cenários de Big Data auxiliando a tomada de decisões e agregando valores para as organizações.

A Política Nacional de Promoção da Saúde (PNPS) aponta estratégias para produzir saúde no âmbito individual e coletivo. Dentre os territórios possíveis para o desenvolvimento de ações, a escola destaca-se como um espaço privilegiado. Este artigo objetiva relatar as experiências durante a realização de ações de educação em saúde bucal desenvolvidas por graduandos e pós-graduandos de Odontologia em um projeto de extensão voltado aos escolares do ensino fundamental. Concluiu-se que a vivência dos acadêmicos junto à comunidade escolar favoreceu a formação generalista e interdisciplinar, o vínculo, a troca de saberes e inovou nas práticas de educação em saúde articuladas com as temáticas prioritárias da PNPS.
Oceano para todos, uma visão diferente da Oceanografia
Authors: Ramos Bruna , Alves Fernanda Cirello , Sardinha Gabriela Decker , Salvi Kely Paula , Martins Mateus Dos Santos , Scherer Marinez
Published: December 2017

A oceanografia é uma ciência recente e seus métodos de ensino são limitados, não atingindo diferentes públicos e suas respectivas restrições de aprendizagem. O projeto de extensão “Oceano para todos”, executado entre março e julho de 2016, realizou uma vivência em oceanografia para integrantes idosos da Associação Catarinense para Integração do Cego (ACIC) em Florianópolis (SC). Para tanto, criou-se uma metodologia com o intuito de transmitir o conhecimento referente a assuntos relacionados à oceanografia em seus aspectos biológicos, geológicos, químicos e físicos, para deficientes visuais. Durante a execução da vivência, assim como na criação da metodologia, foram apresentadas as problemáticas de origem antrópica que envolvem o ambiente marinho costeiro.
A multimodalidade nas revistas eletrônicas gerenciadas pelo Open Journal Systems (OJS) a partir da perspectiva da Semiótica Social
Authors: Barbosa Alexandre Leila Rachel
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo objetiva analisar, considerando a perspectiva da Semiótica Social, a organização multimodal de revistas acadêmicas eletrônicas produzidas e geridas pelo Open Journal Systems (OJS) a partir dos quatro domínios relacionados à construção de significados dos textos multimodais: discurso, design, produção e distribuição. Em virtude desse objetivo, tomamos como base teórica, principalmente, Kress e Van Leeuwen (2001, 2006) e Kress (2003, 2015) e analisamos, além de exemplares dessas revistas eletrônicas, informações constantes no manual que trata da utilização do OJS. Tendo em vista a análise empreendida, foi possível verificar forte influência das ideologias da comunidade discursiva acadêmica e das suas práticas tradicionais em meio impresso na orquestração multimodal das revistas analisadas.

Religião e religiosidade em transformação: dilemas metodológicos
Authors: Siuda-Ambroziak Renata
Published: December 2017

No artigo a autora tenta provar que as tradicionais ferramentas de pesquisa já não chegam para investigar os fenômenos religiosos contemporâneos, independentemente da forma como são definidos no mundo pós-moderno, no qual tem muitos concorrentes, perdendo sua credibilidade em termos de ser a religião a única fonte do sentido e da moralidade. Portanto são necessárias novas teorias e novas teses, ou até mesmo uma viragem paradigmática que coloque novas questões acerca do que se passa com a religião numa realidade fluida, inconstante e variável.
Identidades fronterizas y pertenencias plurales: diversidad e interculturalidad a través de la educación literaria
Authors: Martínez-León Patricia , Ballester-Roca Josep , Ibarra-Rius Noelia
Published: December 2017

El aumento del racismo y la xenofobia en las sociedades europeas y el hecho de que los marroquíes, en particular, constituyan el colectivo inmigrante más rechazado por los españoles motiva la propuesta de club de lectura a partir de dos obras de LIJ (literatura infantil y juvenil) de autoras transculturales, en el marco de la educación literaria e intercultural, que presentamos en este artículo y que proponemos evaluar a través de un cuestionario pretest-postest, empleando un diseño de investigación cuasi-experimental. Con esta perseguimos que el alumnado de Secundaria al que se dirige tenga ocasión de: (1) incrementar sus conocimientos sobre la cultura árabe, (2) reflexionar sobre el desarrollo del doble sentimiento de pertenencia cultural de los inmigrantes, (3) empatizar con las situaciones vividas por las protagonistas y (4) desarrollar un pensamiento propio ante la adopción de prácticas o valores culturales. Se aprovechan las potencialidades brindadas por la literatura para la construcción de una ciudadanía democrática y el desarrollo de la competencia intercultural, para una aproximación rigurosa, crítica y empática a la alteridad y para la superación de formas diversas de discriminación hacia los inmigrantes.
La literatura, el niño y el adulto: por una didáctica de la extrañeza
Authors: Montiel López Jesús
Published: December 2017

El interés que sentimos hacia la literatura cuando somos niños va debilitándose con el paso del tiempo. Entre el niño y la literatura, durante los primeros años de Primaria, suele producirse un alejamiento que concluye en el desencanto. El presente artículo, partiendo de esta ruptura, reflexiona sobre el niño y su creatividad desbordante, tan parecida a la del artista, y propone el abordaje del texto literario como un ser vivo y no como un objeto analizable para lograr una continuidad con la etapa infantil, donde el libro y el juego no están reñidos. Asimismo, se reivindica la literatura como una herramienta cognitiva capaz de aprehender la realidad en una época donde, cada día más, las Humanidades y el arte son barridos por la lógica del mercado.
Fotomontajes feministas: dispositivos estético-políticos
Authors: Alfonso Bouhaben Miguel
Published: December 2017

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de estudiar los dispositivos estéticos y políticos que ponen en práctica los fotomontajes feministas de Martha Rosler y Barbara Kruger. Para ello, es necesario identificar cómo reaccionan estas obras contra el sistema impuesto por el patriarcado a través de la cultura mediática dominante. En los fotomontajes de Martha Rosler vamos a analizar los modos de cosificación de la mujer y las formas de control domopolítico que se establecen en el hogar. Además, nos adentraremos en los dispositivos de montaje y remontaje de imágenes, y de estructuración diferencial y deconstructiva, que la artista pone en práctica con fines emancipatorios. En el caso de Barbara Kruger nos centraremos en su crítica a los modos de representación de la mujer en los medios de comunicación. Asimismo, levantaremos acta de sus dispositivos de apropiación y de interrelación imagen-texto. Finalmente, haremos un balance de las implicaciones éticas y ontológicas que subyacen a estos dispositivos estético-políticos, en relación con las tesis defendidas por el feminismo.
Masculinidad y violencia en "El Club de la lucha" de David Fincher
Authors: Ituarte Pérez Leire
Published: December 2017

En este trabajo se aborda un acercamiento hermenéutico a El club de la lucha de David Fincher. Apoyándose en algunos de los fundamentos metodológicos de la Teoría psicoanalítica y la Teoría Queer el análisis trata de desgranar los pormenores de la representación de la masculinidad en el filme. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que dicha representación está estrechamente ligada a la ansiedad de castración masculina, el estudio rastrea las recurrentes alusiones, más o menos paródicas y más o menos subliminales, a la emasculación masculina así como las estrategias de compensación fetichista desplegadas. El trabajo concluye que la desbordante puesta en escena del escenario edípico masculino en el filme persigue apuntalar un discurso hegemónico de masculinidad amenazado por el tabú de la homosexualidad. La erotización del masoquismo masculino en el filme se revela así, en toda su ambivalencia, como una estrategia performativa de institucionalización de un régimen sexual fundado en la heteronormatividad.
Entre ficciones y fantasías: el aprendizaje amoroso (y de género) a través del consumo cultural en la adolescencia
Authors: Fernandez Rodriguez Irantzu
Published: December 2017

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la construcción del imaginario amoroso y las características de su proceso de aprendizaje en la adolescencia, teniendo en cuenta las diferencias de género. Esta investigación se basa en una etnografía más amplia, realizada con adolescentes de entre doce y catorce años de Bilbao. Durante este trabajo de campo, se han llevado a cabo observaciones participantes, entrevistas en profundidad y grupos de discusión con el alumnado de tres centros escolares. A través de ellas, se ha podido comprobar que el peso de las industrias culturales es más significativo ante el silencio de los centros educativos en la enseñanza sentimental. El consumo cultural varía según el género, ya que estas producciones guían y conducen a un consumo diferenciado para chicas o chicos. A consecuencia de lo cual, las chicas están más expuestas a los mensajes sobre este sentimiento, debido a que el amor es un ingrediente clave para clasificarlos como “para chicas”. Asimismo, cabe destacar el papel tan importante que adquieren las fantasías fundamentas en las ficciones culturales.
El feminismo como producto mediático: la paradoja de Beyoncé
Authors: Fernández Hernández Lola
Published: December 2017

Desde 2014, un número cada vez mayor de celebridades se ha manifestado públicamente como feminista, un fenómeno que ha coincidido en el tiempo con la apertura de un nuevo espacio mediático en los soportes tradicionales y en las redes para el debate acerca de los problemas de las mujeres. A partir del caso paradigmático de la cantante Beyoncé, este texto explora la intersección entre cultura mainstream, medios de comunicación y feminismo, contextualizados en las lógicas del capitalismo avanzado, el neoliberalismo y su rearme patriarcal y la celebritización del espacio de representación en que coinciden. Su objetivo será exponer, a través de las reacciones académicas y mediáticas al feminismo de Beyoncé, las fortalezas y debilidades del llamado postfeminismo, y proponer que su utilidad como herramienta subversiva sea considerada no tanto en relación al público que lo recibe y reelabora, sino en cuanto a su capacidad para movilizar y producir mutaciones tanto en la práctica periodística como en la académica.

A atualidade do conceito de semiformação e o renascimento da Bildung
Authors: Zuin Vânia Gomes , Soares Zuin Antônio Álvaro
Published: December 2017

Theodor W. Adorno publicou o ensaio “Teoria da semiformação” (Theorie der Halbbildung) em 1959. A partir da publicação deste texto, observou-se sua relevância, sobretudo para que se pudesse compreender a maneira como a indústria cultural determinava a produção de prejuízos significativos no processo formativo. Desde então, a conquista do espírito feita pelo caráter fetichista dos produtos da indústria cultural, sendo esta uma das definições de Adorno sobre o conceito de Halbbildung, impulsionou a realização de muitas pesquisas sobre os danos decorrentes desta conquista na formação. Porém, investigar as atuais características do processo semiformativo não resulta na aplicação direta dos conceitos propostos por Adorno no final da década de 1950. Sendo assim, é preciso que tais conceitos sejam revitalizados por meio da análise das atuais mediações históricas. Seguindo essa linha de raciocínio, o principal objetivo deste artigo é argumentar que a reflexão crítica sobre o

modo como a semiformação se renova, na atual sociedade da chamada cultura digital, torna-se fundamental para que se possam elaborar considerações sobre o renascimento da formação (Bildung).
Formação ajustada: sobre a capitalização do humano na formação e sua administração total
Authors: Stederoth Dirk
Published: December 2017

Partindo da análise das rápidas reformas da educação na Alemanha desde a virada do milênio, este artigo volta-se, inicialmente, para o período anterior a essas reformas, mostrando que elas são consequências da política educacional da Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), que, desde a década de 1950, tem se esforçado para harmonizar, dentre outros aspectos, os sistemas educacionais com a formação do capital humano. Este texto demonstra que a formação do capital humano está na base dos processos de padronização das reformas atuais, e que a ideia de gerenciamento total dos recursos humanos é o objetivo principal dessas reformas. Isso resulta em uma visão do ser humano reduzida aos requisitos econômicos predeterminados. Por fim, destaca-se, com base em Herbert Marcuse, a relevância do conteúdo educacional estético, emocional, não mensurável, como referência contrária à visão reducionista da formação para o mercado.

Authors: Klotoe J. R. , Koudouvo K. , Ategbo J-M. , Dandjesso C. , Dougnon V. , Loko F. , Gbeassor M. , Dramane K.
Published: December 2017

Market herbalists are one of the primary uses of primary health care for people in developing countries. They contribute to the conservation of endogenous plants and knowledge. In order to identify plants with antihemorrhagic properties sold in markets in southern Benin, an ethnopharmacological survey was carried out among 34 herbalists in 17 markets in Cotonou and Abomey-Calavi. The method used is Triplet Purchase of Medicinal Recipes (ATRM). A total of 38 plant species in 24 families were identified. The most represented family is the Rubiaceae (13.16%). The most cited species are Cissampelos mucronata (12.96%), Hybanthus enneaspermus (9.26%) and Cassytha filiformis (8.02%). Considering the plants mentioned in single use, C. mucronata (37.5%), C. filiformis (12.5%) and N. laevis (10%) were the most cited species. The leafy stem (71%) is the most used part. Two methods of preparation are mainly used, maceration (45%) and decoction (55%). The extracts of these plants could be a source of Improved Traditional Medication (AHT) for the treatment of haemorrhages.
The Antecedents and Consequences of Small Enterprise Organizational Ambidexterity: An Empirical Analysis of Italian Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Ciampi Francesco
Published: December 2017

This study contributes to the emerging dialogue on the relationships between top management team (TMT) functional background diversity, organizational ambidexterity and company performance. Although small firms (SEs) represent a fundamental component of every nation’s economy, to our knowledge SEs have never been considered as specific units of analysis in the context of this dialogue. Therefore, logistic regression was applied to a sample of 502 Italian manufacturing SEs, 244 operating in the fashion industry and 258 operating in other low technology industries. The principal findings are the following: i) there is a significant and positive relationship between SE TMT diversity and SE organizational ambidexterity; ii) the chief executive officer’s (CEO’s) functional background and power act as moderators in this relationship; iii) there is a significant and positive relationship between SE organizational ambidexterity and SE performance and this relationship is positively moderated by the level of complexity of the industry environment.
Educational Experiences of the International Students in Graduate Programs in Turkey
Authors: Alpaydin Yusuf
Published: December 2017

Educational quality determined by factors such as academic climate, physical environment and academic quality of universities are considered essential for growing numbers of international students. This study aims to reveal and analyze the experiences of international students studying at graduate education step in Turkey. To this end, it is intended to describe and analyze the language proficiency, course period and thesis period experiences of international students studying in different fields of graduate programs and their perception on how their expectations were met or their apprehension. Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, is used in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the study to flexibly gather data regarding the views of the participants and the differences between their experiences. Purposive sampling and snowball sampling methods were used together in forming a phase of the participant group. Interviews were conducted with 23 students from 18 different countries who are currently in Istanbul and studying in various departments. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data gathered from these interviews to examine the graduate education experience of the international students in Turkey. The educational experience of the students is primarily positive, and the students believe that they have received a high-quality education and they were provided with excellent opportunities. However, not being able to acquire academic writing skills or communicate with the professors sufficiently and the unconformity of the graduate education programs with the international educational context are some of the significant problems that were mentioned.

European Commission Recommended Procedures for First Responders in a Terrorist Attack
Involving Ionising Radiation
Authors: Grasza Mariusz , Wojtas Wiktor , Bugaj Grzegorz , Wilk Krzysztof , Bijak Michał , Kaczmarek Aleksandra
Published: December 2017

The use of any of the four types of CBRN weapons in various acts of terrorism could lead to undermining economic stability, public security and the integrity of the European Union. Recent attacks in Europe have shown once again that home-made explosives and firearms remain the weapon of choice for terrorists. Despite the fact that, so far, there has not been any terrorist
attack using a dirty bomb, one which combines radioactive material with conventional explosives, according to the European Parliament briefing terrorists from ISIL/Da’esh in their future attacks may use non-conventional weapons, and the most probable of these is the use of an improvised explosive device containing radioactive materials. This type of attack could potentially lead
to severe consequences for large number of people. Such consequences can be significantly reduced thanks to properly prepared and exercised emergency response procedures for first responders. The aim of this article is to present first response procedures in the case of terrorist incidents with ionising radiation. These procedures are based on a specially prepared TMT Handbook which contains the collective views of an international group of experts in the radiological and nuclear field. These procedures are also recommended and presented by the European Commission during the training courses it organises in cooperation with experts from Member States. Furthermore, these procedures have been modified and adapted according to our practical experience and the legislative procedures currently in force in Poland.
Crucial Problems in the Functioning of Interpol on the Threshold of the 21st Century
Authors: Safjański Tomasz
Published: December 2017

Identification of the crucial problems of one of the critical institutions of the global security system which has been an element present in police cooperation for over 90 years is not an easy task. The multitude of factors (e.g. political, legal and organisational etc) that shape options for Interpol action makes the identification and assessment of such problems very controversial. The development of international police cooperation within the framework of Interpol was carried out in a logical way and closely linked to the real needs of the police of cooperating countries. Through long-term practice, specific mechanisms and instruments for organising and coordinating international police action have been developed. Certainly the presence of Interpol does not solve all the needs that may be encountered in the practice of police cooperation, but without Interpol, the cooperation discussed could develop only at a regional level, which would considerably reduce the effectiveness of the international search for suspects and criminal information exchange. Police actions undertaken within the framework of Interpol, which is a mechanism
of multilateral cooperation, in a natural way can only serve as supportive and complementary to operations in the fight against crime that are carried out in the internal dimension of Member States or as part of bilateral agreements. To such operations Interpol provides coordinating assistance, expert knowledge and scientific or analytical support. At the current stage of development of the legal situation and international relations there is no place for any further Interpol function that might prove effective in practice. Assessing the activities of a well-deserved international organisation, it should be pointed out that there is an undeniable need for Interpol’s existence. Interpol is perceived by the international community as an instrument that can be used only against cross-border criminal threats. Consequently, as an organisation that has operated for decades in terms of a clearly defined role, Interpol has the ability to integrate organisational tasks against these.
Ex Vivo Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy for Rapid Evaluation of Tissues in Surgical Pathology Practice
Authors: Krishnamurthy Savitri , Cortes Andrea , Lopez Mirtha , Wallace Michael , Sabir Sharjeel , Shaw Kenna , Mills Gordon
Published: December 2017

Context.—

Optical imaging techniques are currently available for imaging tissues without the need for any type of extensive tissue preparation. There are several applications for their potential use in surgical pathology practice.

Objective.—

To evaluate the feasibility of using a confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) platform for ex vivo examination of tissues obtained from surgical resections of breast, lung, kidney, and liver.

Design.—

Tissue fragments (0.5–1.0 cm) were immersed in 0.6 mM acridine orange for 6 seconds and imaged using a CFM platform at a 488-nm wavelength. The imaged tissues were subsequently fixed in formalin and processed routinely to generate hematoxylin-eosin–stained tissue sections. Mosaics of the grayscale CFM images were studied at different magnifications for recognition of the tissue and were compared with conventional histopathologic examination of hematoxylin-eosin tissue sections.

Results.—

We imaged 55 tissue fragments obtained from 16 breast (29%), 18 lung (33%), 14 kidney (25%), and 7 liver (13%) surgical excision specimens. Acridine orange labeled the nuclei, creating the contrast between nucleus and cytoplasm and thereby recapitulating the tissue architecture. We could obtain CFM images of good quality within 5 to 10 minutes that allowed recognition of the cytomorphologic details for categorization of the imaged tissue and were similar to histologic examination of hematoxylin-eosin tissue sections.

Conclusions.—

The ease and speed of acquisition of CFM images together with the resolution and resemblance of the CFM images to hematoxylin-eosin sections suggest that the CFM platform has excellent potential for use in surgical pathology practice.

Multiple skills underlie arithmetic performance: A large-scale structural equation modeling analysis
Authors: Ashkenazi Sarit , Silverman Sarit
Published: December 2017

Current theoretical approaches point to the importance of several cognitive skills not specific to mathematics for the etiology of mathematics disorders (MD). In the current study, we examined the role of many of these skills, specifically: rapid automatized naming, attention, reading, and visual perception, on mathematics performance among a large group of college students (N = 1,322) with a wide range of arithmetic proficiency. Using factor analysis, we discovered that our data clustered to four latent variables 1) mathematics, 2) perception speed, 3) attention and 4) reading. In subsequent structural equation modeling, we found that the latent variable perception speed had a strong and meaningful effect on mathematics performance. Moreover, sustained attention, independent from the effect of the latent variable perception speed, had a meaningful, direct effect on arithmetic fact retrieval and procedural knowledge. The latent variable reading had a modest effect on mathematics performance. Specifically, reading comprehension, independent from the effect of the latent variable reading, had a meaningful direct effect on mathematics, and particularly on number line knowledge. Attention, tested by the attention network test, had no effect on mathematics, reading or perception speed. These results indicate that multiple factors can affect mathematics performance supporting a heterogeneous approach to mathematics. These results have meaningful implications for the diagnosis and intervention of pure and comorbid learning disorders.

Parasitoids of Leafminer Fly on Potato Fields and Non-Crop Vegetation in Pangalengan Area. The damage leaves of potato and non-crop vegetation caused by leafminer fly Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromzidae) were collected during August-October 2000 in Pangalengan area to evaluate the role of non-crop vegetation on the abundance of leafminer fly and its parasitoids. The leaves were placed into the bowls. The fly and parasitoid that emerged from the leaves were noted afterwards. The result of this survey showed that six families of plant were the host of L. huidobrensis on non-crop vegetation around the potato plantation. Those families are, Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, Convolvulaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae. The most abundant of non-crop vegetation found in the field was galinggang (Galinsoga Parviflora). The parasitoids that emerge from non-crop vegetation were Hemiptarsenus varicornis (Girault) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Opius sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The proportion of emerged fly were 68.5% from non-crop vegetation and 58.8% from potato, while those of parasitoids were 31.5% from non-crop vegetation and 41.2% from potato. Generally, non-crop vegetation in Pangalengan more potent as reservoar of pest than parasitoids.

The Elevated and Activity of Acetilcholinesterase Enzyme on Aedes aegypti Selected by Malathion. The aim of this research was to study the effect of selection by malathion on the activity level  Acetilcholinesterase enzyme on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Selection of Aedes aegypti larval by mean of malathion have been conducted for 20 generations. During the selection process time has been increased of concentration applied and exposure. For generation 0-5 (F0-F5), a concentration of 25 µl/l (24 ppm) was used to expose the larvae to malathion for five minutes. In generation 6-10 (F6-F10) the concentration has increased to 50 µl/l (48 ppm); in F11-F15 the concentration used was 100 µl/l (96 ppm) whereas in F16-F20 200µl/l (192 ppm) was used. Mosquito generations that would be regarded as representative and reference groups were F0, F5, F10, F15 and F20. The LC50 of F0, F5, F10, F15 and F20 was 0,025; 0,032; 0,042; 0,062 and 0,071 ppm respectively. Increases LT50 values was also observed in Aedes aegypti selected by malathion. The LT50 of F0, F5, F10, F15 and F20 generations was 7,9; 11,3; 18; 30,6 and 33,1 minutes respectively. The low levels of malathion resistance could be conferred by the elevated of α-esterase. The values of the α-esterase in F0, F5, F10, F15 and F20 were 0,155; 0,174; 0,203; 0,209 and 0,215 µmol/min/mg protein respectively. The acetilcholinesterase activities were also raised in F0, F5, F10, F15 and F20, the value of acetilcholinesterase activities were 20,35; 20,26; 23,14; 23,18 and 24,9%.

The establishment of Neochetina spp. as biocontrol agent of waterhyacinth are related to the weevil’s ability to disperse and to increase their population sizes. The objective of this research was to study the distribution and abundance of Neochetina spp. at several areas in West Java and DKI Jakarta. The field research was done in several freshwater ecosystem infested by waterhyacinth, including Cibinong and Lido lakes in Bogor, irigation canal in Karawang, Muara Angke Sanctuary in North Jakarta, and Citarum Hulu river in Purwakarta, during April to August 2004. Coordinate and elevation of the research sites where N. eichhorniae and N. bruchi found were reported, while their abundances were observed by direct hand-collection technique. The results of the research showed that N. eichhorniae was widely distributed and established in most sampling sites, except in Karawang, whereas N. bruchi was not found in any sampling sites. Our observations also indicated that N. eichhorniae was distributed passively so that the weevil couldn’t colonize isolated habitats or locations.

Karakter kebugaran, seperti keperidian, lama hidup, dan fertilitas sering digunakan untuk menggambarkan kapasitas reproduksi suatu spesies. Oleh karena itu, kebugaran parasitoid sering digunakan sebagai indikator potensial dari suatu kualitas keberhasilan di lapangan. Karakter tersebut dapat pula menggambarkan persistensi populasi parasitoid di lapangan selama periode tertentu. Dalam pengelolaan hama, kebugaran parasitoid menjadi indikator penting untuk kesuksesan pengendalian hayati. Beberapa faktor yang berkaitan dengan kualitas parasitoid adalah pengaruh nang, lama generasi dan asal-usul parasitoid. Path analysis digunakan untuk menganalisa pola hubungan dan keterkaitan antar variabel kebugaran. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasikan indikator sukses dari perilaku parasitisasi serta mempelajari mekanisme hubungan sebab akibat (causal meechanism) antar beberapa karakter kebugaran dari (T. armigera) yang menyerang (C. capholonica) dan H. armigera. Hasil analisis menunjukan adanya korelasi yang tinggi dengan lama hidup. Pada inang Cocryra, ditemukan bahwa panjang sayap depan memiliki nilai positif dengan parasitisme, sedangkan ukuran kepala dan laju keberhasilan hidup dapat dikategorikan sebagai indirect indicator melalui jmlah telur yang dihasilkan.
