Teologia e Universidade: Considerações históricas e apontamentos para uma fecunda convivência
Authors: Carneiro Vanessa Americano , Ferreira Reuberson Rodrigues
Published: July 2017

RESUMO: O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a relação entre Teologia e Universidade. Faz-se uso do surgimento das universidades na Idade média para justificar a histórica relação entre ambas. Aponta-se que  o estudo de teologia e o ambiente próprio da Europa medieval favoreceram o despontar das associações - universitates - como centro de aglomeração de saber. As vicissitudes histórias, as conjunturas políticas e as perspectivas epistemológicas fizeram com que eclodisse uma cisão entre ambas a tal ponto de Teologia e Universidade percorrerem caminhos opostos, não raras vezes, beligerantes. Atualmente, busca-se apresentar a teologia como um elemento possível na academia, com metodologia e epistemologia plausíveis que gozam de cidadania acadêmica efetiva.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Universidade; Teologia; História; Ciência

The Sex Ratio Influence on the Dynamics of Structured Population
Authors: Ревуцкая О.Л. , Revutskaya O.L.
Published: July 2017

This article develops and investigates a simple mathematical model that simultaneously studies influence of age and sex structure formation
and sex ratio on demographic and evolutionary processes. We assume fertility depends on the population sex ratio and is described by
the modified harmonic mating function with switching. The population size is regulated by limiting the juvenile survival rate when immature
individual survival decreases with growth of sex-age class sizes. We received the conditions for sustainable development of the population
in the parametric space of the model. The relationships between the group sizes of newborns and mature females and males are analyzed.
The growth of the harem size is shown to result in higher the newborn group size in case of female numerical dominance. The offspring
number demonstrates the same tendency as the sex group with the smallest number in the cases of higher female survival rate and higher
newborn female proportion, and lower male survival rate. Excessive asymmetry of the sexes is shown to lead to a decrease in reproduction
of polygamous species. Complex scenarios of population dynamics are studied. Transitions between different dynamic modes are caused by changes
in both population parameters determining birth, survival and self-regulation rates, and the formation process of the mating pairs.
The model parametric space is shown to have multistability areas in which the initial condition variation can lead to the realization
of one dynamic mode or the other. The multistability is the result of both the system nonlinearity and the complex bifurcation mechanisms,
and the changing pair formation principle. Consequently, even a small variation of the current population size changing the sex ratio
complicates the population behavior and can give significant change in the dynamic mode observed.
De refranes y cuentos folklóricos. Aproximación teórica y fuentes del refranero clásico / Proverbs and Folktales. Theoretical Approach and Sources of the Classical Proverb
Authors: Agúndez García José Luis
Published: July 2017

Desde sus orígenes, la literatura española ha usado el refrán con diverso propósito, así como del cuentecillo. En ocasiones han aparecido en un mismo contexto. Algunos paremiólogos se han servido ocasionalmente de breves composiciones narrativas y otros las han buscado con fruición para glosar sus refraneros. Siendo un tema ya estudiado, hacemos aquí una brevísima aportación de refranes que a nuestro juicio se relacionan, o ya los paremiólogos han relacionado, con cuentos folklóricos.
Correlation between meridional migration of the East Asian jet stream and tropical convection over Indonesia in winter
Authors: Yang Hui , Gong Yuanfa , Yang Gui-Ying
Published: July 2017

The relationship between tropical convective activities and meridional (north-south) migration of the East Asian jet stream (EAJS) in winter (December-February) is investigated for improving our knowledge of processes affecting the meridional migration of the EAJS. The monthly mean fields of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) produced by NCAR and monthly atmospheric circulations produced by the NCEP/NCAR are used in this study. For 31 winter seasons between 1980 and 2011, the meridional migration of the winter EAJS is found to be strongly correlated with the present and preceding conditions of tropical convection over Indonesia. The anomalies in the tropical convection over the region in the preceding autumn and even preceding summer are a very useful indicator for the abnormal meridional migration of the wintertime EAJS. When the tropical convection over Indonesia weakens (strengthens), the EAJS has an abnormal southward (northward) migration. The atmospheric circulation associated with the abnormal meridional migration of the EAJS features abnormal air temperatures over the EAJS and its south side. The center of abnormal air temperatures occurs over the region south of the Yangtze River. Abnormal air pressures generated by abnormal air temperatures lead to abnormal winds. In the case of weakened tropical convection (positive OLR anomaly) over Indonesia, ascending motion of air mass over Indonesia is reduced, and the strength of Hadley circulation is weakened over the meridional range of the western Pacific Ocean. Consequently, the high-level air mass to the south of the core of the EAJS abnormally ascends and cools and the nearly southerly divergent winds at high-altitudes weaken, leading to significant reduction of heat transport from tropics to the southern China, with negative anomalies of air temperatures in the EAJS and its south side. The above processes increase thermal winds to the south of the Yangtze River and enhance the high-level westerly winds. To the north of the Yangtze River, both thermal winds and the high-level westerly winds are reduced. As a result, the EAJS has an abnormal south migration. In the case of enhanced tropical convection (negative OLR anomaly) over Indonesia, the opposite happens, in which Hadley circulation strengthens, the air mass to the south of the core of the EAJS abnormally descends and warms, heat transport increases from tropics to the southern China with positive air temperatures anomalies over the EAJS and its south side, and the EAJS has an abnormal northward migration.
Aportes a una antropología feminista de la salud: el estudio del ciclo menstrual
Authors: Blázquez Rodríguez Maribel , Bolaños Gallardo Eva
Published: July 2017

La antropología médica o de la salud centrada en el estudio de las mujeres sigue constituyendo una de las áreas principales del quehacer antropológico en el Estado español. A partir de los aportes de dos referentes de la antropología feminista de la salud como Marcia Inhorn y Mari Luz Esteban, se revisan los hallazgos de una investigación cualitativa sobre del ciclo menstrual, en la que se realizaron 20 entrevistas a mujeres de 16 a 44 años, entre 2013 y 2014, en el municipio de Madrid. El análisis muestra cómo la menstruación es un claro ejemplo de la esencialización reproductiva de las mujeres, del reduccionismo biológico, de la medicalización de los cuerpos de las mujeres y, sobre todo, de su uniformización. La visibilización y cuestionamiento de estos supuestos, a través de las voces de las mujeres entrevistadas, pone de manifiesto la relevancia de este campo dentro de la antropología médica.

A migração internacional nos quadros da cooperação transfronteiriça franco-brasileira
Authors: Das Chagas Martins Carmentilla
Published: July 2017

O objetivo deste texto é refletir sobre questões relativas às migrações internacionais em uma região particular do território brasileiro, qual seja: as zonas fronteiriças. A suposição é de que inserção da perspectiva local sobre as configurações delineadas pelos processos de institucionalização de cooperação transfronteiriça tem muito a contribuir para com a explicação e entendimento acerca as migrações internacionais. A ideia é chamar atenção, em primeiro lugar, para o que seria o processo da migração internacional nas zonas de fronteira e, em segundo lugar, para os atores envolvidos com esses deslocamentos, tanto aqueles ligados as instituições federais que têm por competência o governo desses lugares, como para os agentes locais, ou seja, pessoas cujo cotidiano é muito caracterizado por essa dinâmica migratória. O texto almeja colocar em foco a postura teórica e metodológica dos sociólogos contemporâneos ao se depararem com problemáticas desencadeadas por essa modalidade de acordo internacional. Isso decorre da percepção de que a cooperação transfronteiriça teve impacto nas práticas e identidades sociais, bem como acabou por impor o imperativo de adaptação das regras coletivas. A análise destaca os caracteres da migração transfronteiriça no âmbito das relações internacionais franco-brasileiras na fronteira Guiana Francesa-Amapá. Nesse intento apresentar-se-ão as informações coletadas nos documentos, na pesquisa de campo e na bibliografia pertinente.

Higher Education as a Common Good in China: A Case Study for Ideas and Practices
Authors: Zhu Jiangang
Published: July 2017

China began its modern system of higher education with the establishment of the former Peking University in Beijing in 1898. The traditional Confucian philosophy of education has been replaced dramatically by modern western philosophy. However, since the communist party came to power in 1949, the philosophy of higher education has experienced much more dramatic changes. In Mao’s time between 1949 and 1976, Maoism philosophy largely displaced Western, so-called capitalistic, philosophy and dominated Chinese higher education for almost 30 years.

Care immediately following birth affects breastfeeding outcomes. This analysis compared improvement in maternity care practices from 2011 to 2013 among hospitals participating in a quality improvement collaborative, Best Fed Beginnings (BFB), to hospitals that applied but were not selected (non–Best Fed Beginnings [non-BFB]), and other hospitals, using Centers of Disease Control and Prevention’s Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) survey data to calculate total and subscores for 7 care domains. Analysis of covariance compared change in scores from 2011 to 2013 among BFB, non-BFB, and other hospitals. BFB hospitals had twice the increase in mPINC score compared to non-BFB and a 3-fold increase compared to other hospitals. Learning collaborative participation may have accelerated progress in hospitals implementing breastfeeding-supportive maternity care.
A universidade popular na Parahyba: circulação de ideias, sujeitos e ações
Authors: Costa Jean Carlo de Carvalho , Espindola Maira Lewtchuk
Published: July 2017

Esse artigo aborda elementos que envolvem os debates referentes à instituição de uma Universidade Popular no estado da Paraíba no início da década de 1910 durante o governo de João Pereira de Castro Pinto. A discussão será apresentada a partir da análise de fontes impressas como as Mensagens Presidenciais, as Atas da Câmara dos Deputados e os artigos publicados no Jornal A União. A ideia de uma Universidade Popular, inspirada em um modelo europeu, ao Brasil, foi introduzida embora tenha passado por uma reestruturação no contexto local. Instituída no Rio de Janeiro, no início do século XX, era destinada à disseminação do pensamento anarquista/socialista para as camadas de trabalhadores. Na Parahyba, Castro Pinto a propôs com o objetivo de afastar essa classe dos perigos das teorias externas. Fundada na Parahyba em 1913, a Universidade Popular teve como o seu público alvo não apenas operários, mas também alunos do Lyceu e toda a intelectualidade parahybana. Tratou-se de iniciativa breve, mas inovadora, que acabou atraindo e envolvendo o público local e diversos personagens em torno de temáticas educativas como higiene, instrução pública e voto.
Política de incentivo à leitura no governo Zaire Rezende (1983-1988)
Authors: Romero Márcia Cicci , Santos Sônia Maria dos
Published: July 2017

Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar as propostas chamadas de Políticas culturais do governo de Zaire Rezende realizadas no período de 1983-1988 na cidade de Uberlândia/MG. A ideia inicial foi coletar materiais que possibilitassem mapear as propostas que deram subsídios ao desenvolvimento de políticas culturais, especialmente àquelas ligadas ao incentivo da leitura. Os objetivos específicos foram: identificar como as políticas culturais de Leitura do governo de Zaire Rezende foram implementadas e como chegaram à população de baixa renda; identificar e entrevistar quais foram os sujeitos responsáveis pela implementação das políticas de leitura do governo de Zaire Rezende; investigar como se deu a reinauguração da Biblioteca Municipal “Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira” nesse mesmo governo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cuja metodologia pautou-se na História Oral Temática. As entrevistas realizadas propiciaram ouvir e analisar se a população realmente teve espaço dentro do governo intitulado de “democracia participativa” para realizar suas reivindicações, sendo uma delas a leitura. O estudo mostrou como a população de baixa renda vivenciou um processo chamado de democracia participativa, modelo esse diferente, do tradicional, do qual tiveram anseios atendidos.
O PARFOR na Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará (UFOPA): perspectivas para a melhoria na práxis pedagógica
Authors: Barreto Eliane Gracy Lemos , Colares Anselmo Alencar
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o processo de implementação e os resultados do PARFOR na UFOPA (Campus Monte Alegre/PA), no período de 2010-2014. Parte do princípio de que as políticas de formação docente, implementadas no Brasil, nas últimas décadas, têm conseguido atender os aspectos quantitativos diante da demanda por capacitação profissional, no entanto, faz-se necessário atender os aspectos qualitativos dessa formação, pois o conhecimento teórico docente é importante, mas este não deve se sobrepor à capacitação didático-pedagógica necessária à práxis docente. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na abordagem qualitativa, a partir de pesquisas bibliográfica, documental e de campo, com a utilização de entrevistas e questionários semiestruturados, alicerçados em três categorias de análises. Os resultados apontam que, para que haja significativa mudança na ação didático-pedagógica, tornam-se imprescindíveis adequações nos processos de implementação e de gestão dessa política. Há problemas, contudo há também enormes possibilidades de que os resultados do PARFOR não sejam apenas quantitativos, mas reflitam efetivamente na melhoria da práxis pedagógica docente.
Reflexão ou inflexão? A formação de professores no brasil (2000-2010)
Authors: Marques Hellen Jaqueline , Abreu Claudia Barcelos de Moura
Published: July 2017

O objetivo da pesquisa é apontar o impacto da formação prática reflexiva na produção de conhecimentos da área de formação de professores, a partir dos trabalhos apresentados e publicados pela Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Educação (ANPED) no Grupo de Trabalho (GT) Formação de Professores, nos anos 2000 a 2010. Os resultados permitiram-nos perceber na produção de conhecimentos em educação/formação de professores no País uma ampla representação das proposições para a prática-reflexiva, definida pelo autor Donald Schön. Os textos indicam certas premissas fundamentais para o direcionamento das políticas educacionais, currículos e cursos de formação, baseadas nas críticas à ciência e à transmissão de conhecimentos científicos em favor da formação pela pesquisa da prática cotidiana e troca de experiências através da reflexão.
Paschoal Lemme e o combate à influência norte-americana na educação brasileira (1950-1960)
Authors: Centeno Carla Villamaina
Published: July 2017

Este artigo procura verificar de que forma o contexto histórico vivido pelo educador Paschoal Lemme (1904-1997), influenciou sua crítica às técnicas e aos métodos norte-americanos incorporados, sobretudo, por educadores ligados ao movimento escolanovista. Iremos demonstrar qual a relação dessa crítica com as transformações que se processavam no país e que acabaram por influenciar os educadores, durante as décadas de 1950 a 1960. Foram utilizadas como fontes primárias suas Memórias (volumes 1 a 5, 1988, 2000) e a obra Educação democrática e progressiva (1961).  Conclui-se que o contexto histórico da chamada Guerra Fria, influenciou o autor a partir da década de 1950 em suas críticas às influências norte-americanas e que no campo do pensamento renovador, foram disseminadas pela produção de Anísio Teixeira. Ainda que o contexto histórico das décadas de 1950 e 1960 possa explicar um combate mais sistemático de Lemme, podemos encontrar também na década de 1980, críticas ao conteúdo e aos métodos norte-americanos.
A organização do trabalho didático na proposta da escola parque de Anísio Teixeira
Authors: Fernandes Enilda , Camargo Paulo Edyr Bueno de
Published: July 2017

Este texto apresenta resultados parciais de investigação coletiva financiada pelo Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq) denominada: “A Organização do Trabalho didático na perspectiva dos educadores da Escola Nova (1930-1970)”. A discussão elege a perspectiva histórica marxista tendo por referência a categoria Organização do Trabalho Didático. Tomou-se para estudo a proposta educacional de Anísio Teixeira, o Centro Carneiro Ribeiro (CCR), com o foco na Escola-parque. O Centro tem a sua organização dividida em dois espaços escolares distintos: as escolas-classe e as escolas-parque. Em um primeiro turno, os alunos têm aulas nas escolas-classe, com a oferta das matérias, comumente escolares. No turno subsequente, nas escolas-parque, são ofertadas a educação física, musical, saúde, artes industriais, etc. Anísio Teixeira, nos limites da concepção democrática burguesa, corrobora os pressupostos comenianos embasados nos conhecimentos básicos, generalistas e úteis, sem os aprofundamentos que propiciariam aos estudantes realizar uma crítica radical e de conjunto à sociedade capitalista. Ele se distingue da escola liberal comeniana pela organização do trabalho didático proposta em espaços físicos diferentes e pelo oferecimento de ensino em tempo integral.
Fernando de Azevedo: uma nova organização do trabalho didático para uma escola renovada (1927-1931)
Authors: Brito Silvia Helena Andrade de , Cardoso Maria Angélica , Oliveira Rosely Gonçalves de
Published: July 2017

Este artigo tem como objeto a proposta para a organização do trabalho didático em Fernando de Azevedo (1894-1974). Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar e problematizar a proposta de Fernando de Azevedo sobre o trabalho didático na sociedade capitalista. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram utilizadas como fontes primárias as obras de Fernando de Azevedo, bem como fontes secundárias, necessárias ao enriquecimento das reflexões aqui apresentadas. Assim, na primeira parte do artigo serão discutidas as categorias que presidirão as análises sobre as propostas azevedianas: trabalho didático e organização do trabalho didático. O segundo momento versa sobre os quatro elementos da organização do trabalho didático que serão analisados: a relação educativa; os recursos didáticos; o espaço físico e as políticas educacionais. À guisa de conclusão, enfatize-se que, apesar da crítica de Fernando de Azevedo à organização do trabalho didático na chamada escola tradicional e a proposta renovadora voltada para transformar esta organização, o viés liberal de sua análise estabelece os limites de suas propostas, que não chegaram ao âmago do problema, ou seja, foi incapaz de desvelar o caráter orgânico do trabalho didático em relação ao capitalismo, enquanto forma de organização da vida social.

It also reveals the relations between information competence and professional development of future EFL teachers and proves that information competence has become the important one for life-long education of EFL teachers. It depicts that the information competence influences the professional level of future EFL teachers, their creative skills and abilities. In the article, compulsory and optional courses in the system of the teacher education for the development of information competence are analysed. It examines the importance of the use of information technology during professional training, as it solves not only the task to improve future EFL teachers’ education but the development of the information competence of new generation school teachers. It proves that digital technologies influence the development of new ways of teaching and learning English, form new professional characteristics of EFL teachers; create new key competences for lifelong learning of future professionals. It deals with the problem that the lack of adequate access to the information and communication technology has the influence on the development of highly skilled professionals in the sphere of English language education.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Authors: Saienko Natalia
Published: July 2017

The article highlights the necessity and possibility of students’ psychological and cognitive development by means of a language education through the intensive and regular formation of linguistic abilities. The concept “ability” is analysed and defined in terms of different sciences: psychology, physiology and pedagogy. The linguistic abilities are classified as special abilities. It distinguishes them from general abilities and determines their composition. The structure of these abilities includes primarily components – memory, perception, intellection and a number of secondary qualities which are discussed in the article. Creativity is regarded as a valuable addition to any special abilities and its formation in language study is ensured by using a problem-solving method. Special attention in the article is paid to the issues of motivation and interest which are presented as the significant factors accelerating the formation of linguistic abilities. For determining the level of linguistic abilities, the article substantiates the use of diagnostic tests designed to evaluate the indicators of cognitive processes related to a speech activity. These indicators are ranked and combined into four main groups in accordance with a component composition of linguistic abilities.
PROCEDURAL ASPECTS OF EDUCATIONAL CHANGES: EMPIRICAL FINDINGS AT INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL
Authors: Semenets-Orlova Inna
Published: July 2017

The researcher analyses special procedural aspects and important tools of organisational change management (at the level of higher educational establishments). As part of the study, the expert survey was conducted for the purpose of collecting empirical data for the analysis of practical experience of active participants of educational changes. The author surveyed 65 specialists from Ukraine who study the educational change issues in higher educational institutions in their professional or social activities. The survey was conditionally divided into several sections: general, procedural, resources provision of change, instrumental, analysis of change results, informative and analytical, expert evaluation of governmental educational change administration in Ukraine. The majority of questions concerned the determination of the required conditions for successful implementation of educational change. Based on the analysis of contemporary scientific literature, the author defined the logics and consistency of procedures of preparation for and immediate implementation of educational change. The omission of at least one of these procedures threatens the result of the overall process of educational changes. The author suggests that the low efficiency of educational change implementation in Ukrainian educational establishments is caused by neglect or improper use of essential preparation tools and procedures of proper educational change management support (underestimation of needs for sufficient resources, advisory support, awareness-raising campaigns, administration support, stimulation of participants and necessity of their continuous training).
Modeling of Wormhole Propagation in Carbonate Rocks by Use of In-Situ-Gelled Acids
Authors: Hosseinzadeh Behzad , Bazargan Mohammad , Rostami Behzad , Ayatollahi Shahab
Published: July 2017

Diversion in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs plays the most important role to the success of acidizing. Without the use of diversion, more acid preferentially flows into the high-permeability region and leaves the low-permeability region underreacted. But a clear understanding of diverting agents, such as polymer-based in-situ-gelled acids, can help uniformly stimulate the near-wellbore region. In this paper, we correct the rheological model that was developed by Ratnakar et al. (2013) according to experimental data from Gomaa and Nasr-El-Din (2010b) by considering shear-rate effect in a two-scale continuum model. It is found that the rheology parameters and shear rate are influential parameters in diversion. In addition, the amount of acid required for the breakthrough is found to be strongly dependent on rheology parameters and permeability in single-coreflood simulation. In our study, the viscosity of the spent acid is found to be the key parameter for diversion efficiency. We have constructed a mechanistic model similar to that in Panga et al. (2005) that simulates the acid injection in two dimensions. Then, we extended our simulation to dual-core systems with different permeability contrasts. The results show that there exists an intermediate injection rate that develops a wormhole in low-permeability core. This intermediate injection rate increases with increasing the permeability contrast. The results suggest that the dissolution pattern in the high-permeability core is dependent on the permeability contrast. It changes from wormhole to uniform shape when the permeability contrast increases.

Published: July 2017

Background:

For patients whose centric relation (CR) has not been considered at the start and during treatment, the task of achieving an occlusal scheme that works together with the temporomandibular joint, the muscles, and the structures of the stomatognathic apparatus becomes a major concern.

Objective:

This study aims to describe a reproducible, predictable and to date unreported procedure of selective grinding guided by an occlusal splint and to analyze condylar position (CP) based on the skeletal pattern.

Methods:

A total of 72 symptomatic patients (38 females and 34 males) were classified into three groups: hyperdivergent, intermediate and hypodivergent. CP was quantified by mounted casts on a measures condyle displacement (MCD) device. Helkimo index was also performed in order to assess the severity of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders attending to clinical dysfunction, occlusal state and anamnestic dysfunction. Once the stability had been obtained, the splint was progressively reduced until the maximum intercuspation (MIC) was achieved.

Results:

The vertical displacement was found to be significantly different between the hyperdivergent and other two groups (p<0.01). Comparisons of MCD analysis before and after the selective grinding procedure identified a statistically significant difference in the horizontal and vertical CP (p<0.01) between the different groups whereas the Helkimo Index showed a clear improvement of TMJ disorders.

Conclusion:

All facial types, specially the hyperdivergent face type, showed a reduction in condylar displacement (CD) and less craniomandibular symptoms using this procedure, making it an excellent technique for clinicians.
Computed Tomography in Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Series with Review of Literature and Classification Update
Authors: Gupta Deepak , Garg Preeti , Mittal Amit
Published: July 2017

Introduction:

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibroosseous lesion of the osseous structures of the body. It is not a commonly reported lesion yet it is considered as an important lesion which can affect the maxillofacial region as well. As a result, it can cause deformity of the jaw bones which can further lead to severe facial asymmetry. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD) is one of the subtypes of FD that can affect the bones of the craniofacial complex, including the mandible and maxilla. It can also present as facial asymmetry and can be investigated with the help of Maxillofacial Radiology and Imaging. The radiographic findings may vary according to the extent and degree of the disease. Although conventional radiographs provide a good clue regarding the lesion, advanced maxillofacial imaging is capable of providing detailed extent of the disease. Furthermore the classification of CFD is not very clear in the literature.

Case Report:

This particular paper attempts to document and report the CT appearance of CFD with an attempt to propose a better classification system for the same. Four different patients are reported which presented with FD with involvement of bones of craniofacial region. Working diagnosis of CFD was made with the help of clinical features as well as with radiographic assessment. Advanced imaging included CT scan of the lesions. The article highlights the importance of computed tomography in diagnosis as well as assessment of extent of the disease.

Conclusion:

It can be concluded that the Dental professionals must be aware regarding the different radiographic appearances of CFD. Advanced imaging modality like CT can provide with exact diagnosis as well as extent of the lesions like FD. Further collaboration of researchers is required to incorporate this proposed change in classification of CFD.
Ultrasonographic Appearances of Cervical Lymph Nodes in Healthy
Turkish Adults Subpopulation: Preliminary Study
Authors: Okumuş Özlem , Dönmez Merve , Pekiner Filiz N.
Published: July 2017

Objectives:

The aim of the study was to assess whether there was any relation between age, gender and body mass index (BMI) and nodal forms and vascular type in healthy Turkish adults.

Study Design:

Three neck areas in 25 wholesome patients who were aged from 21 to 58 years, were assessed by gray-scale and color doppler ultrasonography. Ultrasonographic examinations were performed using an ALOKA Prosound Alpha 6 (Hitachi Aloka Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) and the images were obtained with a 7.2 MHz linear array transducer. Hajek’s categorization of cervical lymph nodes for sonographic analysis was used. The ultrasonographic characteristics like size, shape, short axis/long axis ratio (S/L), hilum were evaluated. Ultrasonographic examinations of upper cervical, submandibular and submental lymph nodes were carried out and recorded.

Results:

The mean age of patients was 31.84±12.80 years. The ratios of lymph nodes with avascular pattern were 96% for the upper cervical lymph area, 92% for the submandibular area and 96% for the submental area. The lowest and highest ratios of short to long axis diameter (S/L) were calculated as 0.18 and 0.66 in all areas. Most normal nodes in the study were oval with an S/L ratio of less than 0.5.

Conclusion:

Normal cervical lymph nodes are oval, with an unsharp border and an echogenic hilum but no relation between the age, gender and BMI. Also ultrasonography is an applicable imaging modality for the examination of cervical lymph nodes. However, the deficiency in the number of patients might not allow to generalise our findings to the general populations.
Diversity of Multidrug Efflux Genes and Phenotypic Evaluation of the In vitro Resistance Dynamics of Clinical Staphylococcus Aureus Isolates Using Methicillin; a Model β-lactam
Authors: Antiabong John F. , Kock Marleen M. , Mbelle Nontombi M. , Ehlers Marthie M.
Published: July 2017

Objectives:

Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) across the world often leave clinicians with little or no choice of treatment options. The multi-drug efflux (MDE) genes are bacterial survival mechanisms responsible for the pumping out of antibiotics and other biocides from the cytoplasm. Whilst effort is being made in the development of antibiotic adjuvants such as efflux pumps inhibitors, information is needed on the diversity of these MDEs in the circulatingS. aureusand on the growth dynamics of the clinical isolates in response to antibiotics is not regularly examined.

Methods:

Here, we evaluated the diversity of MDEs in cinicalS. aureusrecovered in a tertiary academic hospital, Pretoria, South African hospital using PCR and also employed visual minimum inhibitory concentration and quantitative analysis of spectrophometric measurements of bacterial growth in the presence of a model β lactam antibiotic (methicillin), to phenotypically elucidate the resistance pattern of these isolates in response to methicillin.

Results:

Three major distribution patterns of MDEs were observed in the clinical isolates evaluated. Moreover,norA,norB andtet38 were present in 98.9% of the isolates while other MDE were present in different proportions ranging from 40 to 98.6% of the isolates. In addition,S. aureusisolates, be it of MRSA or MSSA genotype did not habour the same set of MDEs despite being recovered from the same hospital setting. Finally, we showed that MSSA displayed phenotypic resistance to methicilllin despite the non-detection of themecA resistance gene.

Conclusions:

Our data suggest that the growth ofS. aureusmay be enhanced by β lactams (methicillin) and that MSSA may also display resistance to methicillin and perhaps other β lactam antibiotics. The high prevalence of MDEs suggestive of resistance to a broad spectrum of biocides and fluoroquinolones are particularly disturbing.

Intisari Angkutan penerbangan pada saat ini sangat diminati oleh penumpang, mengingat biaya angkutan penerbangan domestik saat ini yang tidak terlalu mahal dan dapat dijangkau oleh masyarakat dan juga didukung oleh banyaknya jumlah maskapai penerbangan milik swasta yang beroperasi untuk melayani kebutuhan masyarakat melakukan angkutan penerbangan. Jumlah maskapai penerbangan yang semakin hari semakin bertambah menyebabkan bertambah pula dibukanya jalur-jalur atau rute penerbangan ke berbagai daerah di dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Pembukaan dan pertambahan jalur-jalur baru penerbangan ini mengakibatkan lalu lintas udara juga semakin padat, sehingga diperlukan suatu pelayanan lalu lintas udara yang baik untuk terciptanya keamanan dan keselamatan angkutan penerbangan. Pelayanan lalu lintas penerbangan bertujuan untuk memperlancar dan menjaga keteraturan arus lalu lintas penerbangan, memberikan informasi yang berguna untuk keselamatan dan efisiensi penerbangan sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan pada angkutan penerbangan.Kata Kunci : tanggung jawab, pelayanan, penerbangan.
The Impact of Using Asking for Clarification and Circumlocution Speaking Strategies on Enhancing the Speaking Skill of EFL Students
Authors: Baradeyah Niveen , Farrah Mohammed
Published: July 2017

This study mainly aimed at investigating the impact of teaching the asking for clarification and circumlocution speaking strategies on enhancing students’ speaking ability. In addition, it investigated the impact of teaching asking for clarification and circumlocution speaking strategies on students’ use of other speaking strategies. Finally, it aimed at finding the correlation between language proficiency and students’ use of the taught speaking strategies. Sixty-two 10th graders at Noba Secondary School for Girls, a government high school, Palestine, participated in the study. Their native language is Arabic. They were divided into an experimental group comprised of thirty-one students and a control group consisted of thirty-one students. The experimental group had training on using two speaking strategies, namely asking for clarification and circumlocution which lasted over a semester. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data which were collected through pre and post questionnaires and pre and post tests showed that the use of asking for clarification strategy enhanced students’ speaking skill. However, students’ speaking skill was not enhanced through the use of circumlocution strategy. In addition, there were no significant differences between the experimental and control group in their use of different speaking strategies after teaching asking for clarification and circumlocution speaking strategies. However, message reduction and alteration strategies and social-affective strategies were reported to be the most significantly used strategies by the experimental group. Furthermore, the results showed that there was a strong correlation between learners’ proficiency level and their strategy use. Finally, the study came with a number of recommendations.

HOW NEWSWORTHY WERE THE PROTESTS IN ROMANIA FOR THE GERMAN QUALITY PRESS? CASE STUDY: SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
Authors: SZAMBOLICS Julia , MUCUNDORFEANU Meda
Published: July 2017

In January 2017, the former Romanian Minister of Justice, Florin Iordache, proposed a decree to decriminalize corruption involving sums of less than 200,000 lei, as well as granting prison pardons and decriminalizing certain offences. On January the 18th, the first 5000 protesters shouted their disapproval regarding the published bills on the streets of Romania. Their number increased daily. On February the 5th, the largest protest in Romania’s history with over 500.000 people on the streets was registered. The international press covered the story of the protests in Romania, but how newsworthy was this subject for the most widely read German quality newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung? How are the Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu, the PSD-party-chief Liviu Dragnea and the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis portrayed in the articles?

A dialética dos saberes produzidos e mobilizados no trabalho: a atividade do trabalho como princípio educativo
Authors: Aranha Antônia Vitória Soares , Daniel Ilma Bicalho Sousa
Published: July 2017

O artigo aborda a dinâmica dos saberes produzidos e mobilizados profissionalmente por trabalhadores. Para o exercício de reflexão aqui proposto, são mobilizadas as proposições marxistas e ergológicas, considerando-se que esses referenciais contribuem de maneira significativa para a compreensão de questões envolvidas na relação estabelecida entre o homem e o trabalho, a qual possibilita a produção e a mobilização de saberes. As discussões procuram evidenciar que, embora existam outros espaços de aprendizagem, o trabalho é um lócus privilegiado no que se refere à produção e à mobilização de saberes. Com efeito, entende-se que o fazer é sempre interatuado, sendo essa uma característica que marca o mundo laboral.
