Comunicação conjugal durante a transição para parentalidade no contexto de depressão pós-parto
Authors: Frizzo Giana Bitencourt , Silva Isabela Machado , Piccinini Cesar Augusto , Lopes Rita de Cássia Sobreira
Published: December 2015

O presente estudo investigou a comunicação de casais em que a esposa apresentava indicadores de depressão pós­?parto. Participaram 15 casais, em que ambos os cônjuges responderam a entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas. Os dados foram submetidos a uma análise de conteúdo qualitativa, a partir de duas categorias derivadas da literatura: (a) expressão de sentimentos e ideias e (b) resolução de problemas. Identificaram­?se dificuldades quanto à expressão de sentimentos e ideias tanto nas esposas como nos maridos. O diálogo sobre os problemas do casal não se mostrou garantia de sua resolução. Brigas, respostas inadequadas aos sentimentos e ideias expressos pelo cônjuge e o desenvolvimento de estratégias comunicacionais que eram percebidas desfavoravelmente pelo outro foram algumas das dificuldades identificadas. Os resultados apoiam estudos que sugerem que a depressão pós­?parto pode influenciar a comunicação do casal e a relação conjugal, constituindo esta uma questão relevante para estudos futuros e para o atendimento (...)

Empenhamento organizacional nos trabalhadores temporários
Authors: Oliveira Eduardo
Published: December 2015

O estudo do empenhamento organizacional tem concitado interesse de académicos e profissionais da gestão de recursos humanos. Subjugadas aos imperativos da competitividade global, as organizações têm vindo a adoptar novas formas de trabalho. A contratação de trabalhadores temporários é um dos exemplos que concretiza essa estratégia. Apesar do aumento significativo deste tipo de trabalho, os contributos teóricos para a compreensão das mudanças da força de trabalho no empenhamento organizacional podem ainda ser robustecidos. O modelo tridimensional de empenhamento organizacional de Meyer e Allen (1991) foi confirmado para a Empresa de Trabalho Temporário e para a empresa Utilizadora. Não se observaram diferenças significativas nos perfis de empenhamento em função da voluntariedade no acesso ao trabalho temporário. Os resultados reforçam a prevalência da natureza do empenhamento organizacional sobre o alvo a que se reporta independentemente do vínculo contratual que une o indivíduo à organização.

O fenómeno da consciência no desenho: Na procura da liberdade na experiência do universal
Authors: Rodrigues Luís Filipe Salgado Pereira
Published: December 2015

Pretende­-se com esta reflexão explicar de que forma o desenho poderá proporcionar uma maior consciência do eu e do não­?eu, e como isso permite progressivamente proporcionar ao sujeito uma maior liberdade tanto de ação mental e física como maior liberdade espiritual. O artigo está dividido em duas partes: I Enquadramento conceptual em António Damásio; e II Expansão da liberdade a partir do alargamento da consciência no contexto do ato de desenhar.

Como Promover a Qualidade das Intervenções Psicológicas com Pessoas LGB: As percepções dos/as clientes sobre as competências para a diversidade de psicólogos/as clínicos/as e psicoterapeutas
Authors: Moleiro Carla , Pinto Nuno
Published: December 2015

Apesar do facto de ser cada vez mais reconhecida a necessidade dos/as psicólogos/as clínicos/as e psicoterapeutas serem competentes em termos da diversidade individual e cultural, as organizações profissionais Europeias ainda não desenvolveram guidelines e standards para a prática e a formação nesta área – contrariamente ao que acontece na América do Norte. O objectivo deste artigo é contribuir para o reconhecimento das competências clínicas para a diversidade na perspectiva dos próprios clientes LGB. Pretende ainda descrever as percepções que estes clientes têm destas competências, em termos das suas dimensões, ilustrações, e a sua presença/ausência na prática clínica. O estudo utiliza uma metodologia qualitativa, envolvendo a participação de 15 pessoas LGB em 3 grupos de discussão focalizada. Foi desenvolvido um plano para os grupos de discussão focalizada, que decorreram em contexto não­?clínico, após recrutamento junto de associações comunitárias LGBT. A análise de conteúdo foi realizada com base nas transcrições dos grupos. Os resultados revelaram uma proporção semelhante de unidades de análise nas dimensões de consciência (31%), conhecimento (37%) e competências práticas (32%). A consciência LGB foi, ainda assim, avaliada como mais central do que as restantes duas dimensões; e, de um modo geral, as competências avaliadas como presentes actualmente na prática clínica foram apenas 6% das unidades de análise. Os resultados alertam para o papel fundamental das competências clínicas para a diversidade LGB.

As experiências dos cuidados de saúde de pessoas transexuais em Portugal: Perspetivas de profissionais de saúde e utentes
Authors: Pinto Nuno , Moleiro Carla
Published: December 2015

O presente artigo pretende contribuir para dois objetivos, um de caráter teórico e outro de natureza empírica, no contexto português em que recentemente o papel dos/as profissionais de saúde se tornou mais relevante na avaliação clínica, apoio e mudança de nome/sexo legal de pessoas transexuais. Deste modo, o primeiro objetivo consiste em rever a literatura e os ”standards of care” internacionais no que diz respeito aos cuidados de saúde com pessoas transexuais. O segundo objetivo remete para a apresentação de um estudo empírico qualitativo, que explora as perspetivas de clínicos/as (n=6) e de pessoas transexuais (n=7) sobre as suas experiências em serviços de saúde em Portugal. Os resultados são demonstrativos de certas competências destas equipas clínicas, mas também alertam para a existência de práticas contrárias às recomendações internacionais. Estes resultados são discutidos à luz da literatura respeitante à transexualidade mas também das abordagens relativas à sensibilidade clínica para a diversidade individual e cultural.

Prevenção, adesão, promoção de saúde e reabilitação sob o acompanhamento terapêutico
Authors: Estellita-Lins Carlos , Bteshe Mariana , Miranda Oliveira Verônica , Coutinho Maria Fernanda , Ribeiro Couto Márcia
Published: December 2015

Este trabalho narra a gênese do acompanhamento terapêutico (AT) no Brasil, lembrando as circunstâncias históricas, sociais e filosóficas que permitiram seu desenvolvimento. Enfatiza­?se a contribuição do AT na prevenção de crises, adesão ao tratamento, promoção de saúde e reabilitação de transtornos psiquiátricos. O panorama sociopolítico das últimas quatro décadas é tido por condição de possibilidade para a produção de um saber e de uma práxis correlativos ao AT, compreendido como uma modalidade híbrida de intervenção em saúde mental. Seu fértil diálogo com a psicanálise e a intervenção comunitária em saúde mental o coloca num processo ambíguo de renovação em que sua função, por um lado, consolida­?se e, por outro, dispersa­?se. Esta modalidade de suporte está diretamente relacionada com a Reforma Psiquiátrica em curso no Brasil (...)

Concepções de aprendizagem com o computador em estudantes universitários
Authors: Rebelo Isabel , Duarte António
Published: December 2015

Tendo como objectivo conhecer as representações dos estudantes sobre a aprendizagem mediada pelo computador, este estudo pretendeu testar a eventual replicação, no que toca à ideia do computador como meio de aprendizagem, das variantes da concepção de aprendizagem propostos pela perspectiva “fenomenográfica”, assim como revelar concepções possivelmente novas. Este estudo baseou­?se em entrevistas semi­?estruturadas centradas em quatro dimensões de análise das concepções de aprendizagem com o computador: dimensão referencial (o que é a aprendizagem com o computador); processual (como se aprende com o computador); contextual (onde se aprende com o computador) e dimensão funcional (para que se aprende com o computador). Os resultados derivaram de uma análise de conteúdo das respostas e revelaram alguma correspondência entre as concepções de aprendizagem com o computador e as concepções de aprendizagem em geral, conhecidas da investigação fenomenográfica (a aprendizagem enquanto acumulação de informação, enquanto compreensão ou enquanto obtenção de classificações) (...)

Religiosity, Spirituality, and Mental Health in Portugal: A call for a conceptualisation, relationship, and guidelines for integration (a theoretical review)
Authors: Freire Jaclin , Moleiro Carla
Published: December 2015

In the Portuguese research society, particularly in the mental health field, little has been done regarding religiosity, spirituality and mental health. Thus, this paper strives to stimulate the interest in this area by providing an overview of the body of research on religiosity, spirituality and mental health, highlighting the role and importance these dimensions represent in the life of many people, whether in health or mental distress and illness. A brief review of the conceptualisation of religion (religiosity) and spirituality is provided, as well as some areas of disagreement and contention. Guidelines for the integration and professional training are also included, not discarding the ethical considerations inherent in this process. Finally, reflections are offered as to why bringing religiosity and spirituality into mental health field is important, as well as some implications for clinical practice, with particular focus on Portuguese mental health system.
A prevalência do transtorno do déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (tdah): Uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Lima Teles da Hora Ana , Silva Simone Souza da Costa , Ramos Maély Ferreira Holanda , Pontes Fernando Augusto Ramos , Nobre João Paulo dos Santos
Published: December 2015

Este artigo expõe as principais características metodológicas e os resultados apresentados pelos estudos de prevalência do Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) através de artigos publicados no período de 2003 a 2014. Realizou-se uma busca em uma das principais bases de dados da área da saúde, o PubMed/MEDLINE que resultou em 23 artigos. Investigou-se as estimativas de prevalência; o processo de amostragem; o tipo de estudo; os critérios diagnósticos; e, as principais variáveis exploradas. O processo de mineração foi realizado pelos programas: EXCEL; NVIVO-10, SPSS 20; e MENDELEY. Resultados: Observou-se a média central de 11.26% entre as estimativas de prevalência encontradas; 99% dos estudos foram transversais; e o processo de amostragem mais utilizado foi o probabilístico por conveniência em 26.08% dos estudos. Os resultados alcançados apoiam a premissa de que os critérios metodológicos e diagnósticos ampliam a variabilidade das estimativas de prevalência a nível global.
Are victims also judged more positively if they say their lives are just?
Authors: Alves Hélder Vinagreiro , Breyner Mariana Mello , Nunes Sí­lvia Fontinha , Pereira Bruno Diogo , Silva Luí­s Filipe , Soares Joana
Published: December 2015

Non-victims who express high versus low personal belief in a just world (PBJW) are judged as having more social value, both social utility (i.e., market value) and social desirability (i.e., affective value). Our goal was to test whether this pattern differed when the targets were presented as innocent or non-innocent victims of enduring suffering. A hundred and eighty-six participants of both sexes took part in our 2 (degree of PBJW expressed: high/low) X 3 (Target identity: innocent victim/ non-innocent victim/ non-victim) between-subjects experimental study. Participants rated the targets on four measures: positive/negative social utility/desirability. Targets were judged more positively and less negatively if they expressed high versus low PBJW, regardless of their being non-victims or (non-)innocent victims. This pattern is taken as further evidence that the expression of high PBJW is a judgment norm, that is, a socially valued discourse irrespective of it being true or untrue.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIE ET FRANCOPHONIE: cache‐cache entre ‘nous’ et ‘je’
Authors: Gans‐Guinoune Anne‐Marie
Published: December 2015

Pourquoi évoquer cet objet d’étude qu’est l’autobiographie dans le cadre particulier de la francophonie ? Le pacte autobiographique aurait‐il une spécificité franco‐française qui placerait les littératures venues d’ailleurs dans la marge ? La francophonie, terme que je conserve malgré que le concept soit tant décrié ces temps derniers par les tenants d’une littérature‐monde, englobe tous les écrivains utilisant une même langue, le français, pour raconter une réalité universelle, celle de l’homme. Après avoir donné quelques définitions de base, je présenterai un rapide panorama d’auteurs francophones ayant eu recours à l’autobiographie, pour enfin m’arrêter un peu plus sur deux écrivains maghrébins, Driss Chraïbi et Maïssa Bey. L’observation de leur mode d’écriture montre que l’autobiographie fonctionne chez des auteurs de cultures éloignées de la culture occidentale sous une autre forme.

CLAUDE SIMON, QUAND LE SURGISSEMENT DU RÉEL OBLIGE À UNE POÉTIQUE
Authors: Mourier-Marchasson Marie-Christine
Published: December 2015

Claude Simon a subi comme cavalier de l’armée française, du 10 au 17 mai 40, une série de traumatismes vécus comme basculement dans le Réel au sens lacanien du terme. Toute son écriture se fondera dans un aller et retour entre la remémoration de ces moments-là, leur évocation impossible et le retour exhibé au Symbolique. Sa poétique se fera dans cette difficulté à dire cela.
THE READING BODY : Psychopathology, Magical Thinking & Literature
Authors: Picard Anne-Marie
Published: December 2015

Que nous disent les enfants incapables d’apprendre à lire sur l’effet même de la lettre ? Quels rapports peuvent être établis entre la psychopathologie et la démarche même de l’écrivain ? La figure iconique de la Lectrice lovée autour d’un roman nous permettra de penser le lien entre la pensée magique à l’œuvre chez l’enfant qui « préfère » ne pas sa-voir et l’écrivain qui voudrait dé-lire, défaire les implications psychiques de l’advenue au symbolique alphabétique et à ses lois, une initiation humanisante parce que critique de la jouissance incestueuse.
PSYCHOANALYSTS FINDING FORM : (auto)fictional experiments in contemporary psychoanalysis
Authors: Masschelein Anneleen
Published: December 2015

In this paper, we will look at two important voices in contemporary psychoanalysis, Didier Anzieu and Christopher Bollas, who from a theoretical perspective have tried to devise new genres to express their thinking. The result of this is hybrid texts that com-bine autobiography, essay, case study, fiction, comedy and poetry. In their theoretical work, Anzieu and Bollas have examined creativity and processes of thinking, predomi-nantly from the perspective of object-relations psychoanalysis, although both are known as eclectic thinkers, who do not belong to just one school of psychoanalysis.
Fairy Tale Illustrations and Real World Gender: Function, Conceptualization, and Publication
Authors: Bottigheimer Ruth B.
Published: December 2015

Fairy tales that have been illustrated with a single image apiece are themselves generally a commercial enterprise, whose content and design must be conceived in a broadly acceptable mode in order to sell. Second, the selling process assumes a profit motive. Third, it can be shown that the single illustration mode results in projecting an individual illustratorʹs vision of a tale. Fourth, when large numbers of illustrations in single‐illustration mode exist in commercially produced books, the aggregate range of their content comprises the range of culturally‐acceptable images for a given story. (A methodology for analyzing fairy tales with multiple images will be introduced separately at the end of this article.)
RETHINKING FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS IN THIRD‐GENERATION NIGERIAN WOMEN’S FICTION
Authors: Nadaswaran Shalini
Published: December 2015

Third‐generation Nigerian female writers’ representation of gender in local spaces through the rethinking of family relationships reflects a development and change from the first and second generation female writers Flora Nwapa, Buchi Emecheta, and Ifeoma Okoye. In a comparative analysis of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2004), Unoma Azuah’s Sky‐High Flames (2005), Sade Adeniran’s Imagine This (2007) and Sefi Atta’s Everything Good Will Come (2005), a distinct pattern emerges of the young girl‐child / woman character developing into a matured, strong womanist. As female characters challenge their familial relationships, they develop their sense of personhood, reclaiming wholeness, authority and female subjectivity, changing prescribed roles and structures.
RETOUR AU LOCAL : Celles qui attendent et l’engagement diasporique de Fatou Diome
Authors: Toivanen Anna‐Leena
Published: December 2015

La littérature africaine du XXIe siècle est marquée par des affinités transnationales au lieu d’une approche nationale et locale. La théorie postcoloniale hégémonique a consolidé le paradigme postnational en mettant l’accent sur les métaphores délocalisées. Dans son roman Celles qui attendent (2010), Fatou Diome examine la face souvent tue par les discours littéraires diaspo‐riques : les réalités difficiles de ceux qui ne profitent pas directement de la logique du transnationalisme et continuent à subir les précarités de la condition postcoloniale nationale. Le présent article se propose de prospecter les dimensions complexes de l’engagement de Diome.
LES FIGURES DE L’AUTEUR ET DU TRADUCTEUR CHEZ AMADOU HAMPÂTÉ BÂ ET AHMADOU KOUROUMA
Authors: Di Méo Nicolas
Published: December 2015

Dans leurs récits, Amadou Hampâté Bâ (1900-1991) et Ahmadou Kourouma (1927-2003) proposent deux types de rapports bien distincts entre les figures de l’auteur-créateur et du traducteur, dont la comparaison révèle certaines des mutations qui affectent le champ littéraire de langue française à partir des années 1970. Alors que le premier se présente comme le traducteur de textes oraux préexistants et insiste sur son rôle d’interprète permettant à deux univers radicalement distincts de mieux se connaître, le second cherche à créer des identités linguistiques plus complexes. La confrontation de ces deux modèles est inséparable de l’émergence du moment postcolonial.
A New Alphabet for the Cinema : the Tragic Irony of Napoléon (Abel Gance, 1927)
Authors: Verstraten Peter
Published: December 2015

In the present-day period, on the eve of destruction of analogue cinema, there seems to be a remarkable interest in the last gasps of silent film. Encouraged by this fascination, this article delves into an analysis of the highly formally innovative Napoléon, vu par Abel Gance (Abel Gance, 1927). This film will be discussed as an oblique variant within the relatively new genre of the historical reconstruction film in France. Addressing four paradoxes and an irony, the article will examine the tensions between Gance’s attempt to create a historical biopic and his ambition to delineate a new aesthetics of cinema. It will do so, among others, by contrasting Gance’s ideas of both the cinema as a visual Esperanto and as the ‘music of light’ with the theatrical trans-historicity of La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (Carl-Theodor Dreyer, 1928), produced as a complement to Napoléon.
The Historical Threshold : Crisis, Ritual and Liminality in Sofia Coppola’s Marie-Antoinette (2006)
Authors: Backman Rogers Anna
Published: December 2015

Marie Antoinette does not pertain to any of the narrative tropes and standards set by the conventional historical drama. Rather, it is a film about the politicisation of the female body. Its focus on the rite of passage of a young girl into adulthood in an extreme situation is, in effect, highly political both in its effort to convey a specifically female subjectivity and in its eschewal of a more traditional treatment of its subject matter.

La première pièce de théâtre de Laurent Mauvignier, Tout mon amour, est créée en 2012 par la compagnie Les Possédés. La thématique habituelle de Mauvignier (secrets des familles, solitude, violence sociale) s’y retrouve, mais tout en utilisant pleinement les moyens de la scène (distanciation, présence physique, espace théâtral, discours rythmés).
Faire jazzer la voix narrative
Authors: Richir Alice
Published: December 2015

Dans Le Black Note de Tanguy Viel, le jazz est à la fois un thème qui configure la projection identitaire à laquelle s’identifient les actants, et un processus créatif qui travaille au coeur de l’énonciation pour dynamiter la linéarité du discours romanesque. Le présent article entreprend de décrire les effets de cette double inspiration sur l’élaboration de la voix narrative, pour interroger ce que la singularité de celle-ci implique quant à l’acte même de raconter.
La relation éducative genlisienne, ou La distorsion du lien pédagogique
Authors: Guitard-Morel Josiane
Published: December 2015

Cet article évoque Madame de Genlis, connue pour ses fortes positions antiphilosophiques et ses implications dans un siècle en pleine ébullition intellectuelle. La préoccupation fonda-mentale des Lumières est la quête hic et nunc du bonheur terrestre de l'homme. L'une des clés pour ouvrir la porte de la félicité humaine se nomme éducation. La présente étude analyse comment Madame la gouverneur des princes s'empare du sujet éducatif, l'expérimente au-près des enfants d'Orléans et conçoit une oeuvre pédagogique originale, Adèle et Théodore. L'article discute la contribution de cet ouvrage épistolaire à la réflexion didactique éclairée et révèle comment la volonté de trop bien éduquer consume la nature humaine et altère la relation éducative nouée entre maître et élève.
Au-delà du moralisme : Madame de Genlis et l’hospitalité
Authors: Bourgault Sophie
Published: December 2015

Très peu de philosophes politiques se sont intéressés à l’oeuvre de Genlis, en partie parce que son oeuvre est communément réduite à un moralisme religieux insipide. Si Alice Laborde con-clut sa biographie en soulignant que Genlis « est moraliste avant tout », les travaux récents de Mary Trouille mettent tout autant l’accent sur le fait que la comtesse est « moralist to the core ». La visée du présent article est de nuancer cette lecture, non pas en niant le moralisme de Genlis, mais plutôt en montrant que celui-ci ne l’a pas empêchée de publier des textes à portée politique qui mériteraient notre attention aujourd’hui—particulièrement l’attention de ceux et celles qui se donnent pour tâche de penser l’accueil et le soin de l’Autre. A partir du Discours sur la sup-pression des convens et du Discours sur le luxe et l’hospitalité, nous indiquons non seulement l’actualité, mais aussi la surprenante radicalité des textes publiés par Genlis en période révolu-tionnaire.
Reviving the art of sociability : Madame de Genlis’s Post-Revolutionary Salon at the Arsenal
Authors: Conroy Melanie
Published: December 2015

Madame de Genlis est connue comme une critique des philosophes grâce à son dialogue Les dîners du baron d’Holbach (1822). Son tableau d’une sociabilité positive, Les soupers chez la maréchale de Luxembourg (1828), est beaucoup moins connu. Les soupers posent l’idéal d’une socialibilité de cour comme étant supérieure à ce qu’elle voyait comme la sociabilité perverse des Lumières et l’incivilité de la période révolutionnaire. Mais ces dialogues sont loin d’être une simple représentation historique de la conversation dans la haute société. Ils sont plutôt des modèles pratiques pour l’art de la conversation, conçus pour fournir un remède moral à une société divisée. Issus de son expérience comme salonnière à la Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, les dialogues fictionnalisés des années 1820 ré-inventent l’idée de la sociabilité au XVIIIe siècle pour convenir aux goûts des lideurs du XIXe siècle.
L’ÉPISTEMOLOGIE DE LA JALOUSIE : Proust et Descartes
Authors: Groen Roy
Published: December 2015

J’ai l’intention d’offrir ici une étude comparative de Marcel Proust et de René Descartes. N’étant pas convaincu de la pertinence d’une comparaison traditionnelle entre ces deux auteurs, j’essayerai de présenter une lecture que l’on pourrait qualifier de « négative » du Discours de la méthode, pour montrer comment on peut se servir de l’héritage philosophique de Descartes pour entrer d’une façon inattendue dans l’imaginaire de Proust.
PROUST EN DERVICHE SOUFI : métamorphoses de l’intertexte proustien dans Le Livre noir d’Orhan Pamuk
Authors: Duclos Élise
Published: December 2015

L’étude de l’intertextualité proustienne dans Le Livre noir d’Orhan Pamuk appelle la prise en compte de l’ensemble des références intertextuelles du roman, d’une multiplicité foisonnante, ainsi que l’étude de la place de l’intertexte proustien dans ce qu’il faut bien considérer comme le système intertextuel rhizomatique du roman. Cette investigation conduit à mettre en rapport les différents intertextes orientaux et occidentaux qui informent la narration et transforment le texte proustien en un voyage spirituel ou en une quête mystique : la Conférence des oiseaux d’Attâr, le Mesnevi de Mevlâna, et surtout Hüsn-ü Aşk de Cheik Galip.
PROUST’S ARTISTIC ONTOLOGY : A Comparison of Merleau-Ponty’s and Deleuze’s Readings of Proust’s Recherche
Authors: Wambacq Judith
Published: December 2015

In this article, I examine how Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze read Proust. It is not only remarkable that Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze refer to exactly the same passages of the Recherche, but they also read them in a similar way. This is all the more striking because Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze are usually subsumed under different schools of thought. This article sketches the artistic ontology both philosophers see illustrated in the Recherche.
French literary language studies : Pour une anthropologie de la « langue française »
Authors: Matei Alexandru
Published: December 2015

Les French Studies peuvent être pensées en tant qu’un type particulier d’agencement et d’encadrement d’éléments culturels français. Elles présentent deux caractéristiques définitoires : leur lieu de production n’est pas la France, mais le monde anglo-saxon, notamment les Etats-Unis et, en tant que production discursive portant cette marque d’origine, elles dispensent souvent de la pratique intensive de la langue française. C’est ce qui nous amène, en tant que suite possible aux recherches de Gilles Philippe, à proposer les French Literary Language Studies ayant pour objet la « langue littéraire » des espaces français et francophones, et pour méthode un croisement de sémiologie barthésienne, d’analyse thématique et d’histoire littéraire.

Molecular characterization of wilt resistant and susceptible genotypes of Cajanus cajan (L.)
Authors: Swami Rakesh M. , Mahatma Mahesh K. , Parekh Mithil J. , Khandelwal V.
Published: December 2015

Characterization of germplasm is important for breeding programme. Therefore, in present investigation 9 genotypes of pigeonpea [Cajanuscajan (L) Millsp] comprising three wilt resistant genotypes (Vaishali, ICPL 87119 and national check ICP 8863) and two susceptible genotypes (T15-15 and national check ICP 2376) along with four other popular genotypes grown in Gujarat, India (BDN-2, GT-100, GT-102 and C-11) were characterized using RAPD, ISSR and SSR markers. Genetic diversity of 9 pigeonpea genotypes revealed an average polymorphism of 39.18% by RAPD, 47.67 % by ISSR and 57.35 % by SSR. On the basis of polymorphism (%), PIC(polymorphic information content) value, MI (Marker index) value primer OPI-12 was found most informative among 12 RAPD primers. While ISSR primer UBC-850 was found most informative among 8 ISSR primers showing 80% polymorphism, 0.51 PIC value and 40.80 MI value. SSR primers gave 2 to 5 amplicon on a 6 % polyacrylamide gel. The average PIC value was 0.36, ranging from 0 to 0.73. PIC also provides the estimate of discriminatory power of a locus in the case of SSR marker system by taking into account not only the number of alleles expressed, but also the relative frequency of those alleles. Our prime target of discrimination between wilt resistant and susceptible genotypes of pigeon pea was achieved by ISSR and SSR markers. However, SSR was more efficient in generation of polymorphism among the genotypes based on the information on the level of polymorphism and the PIC value.
Effect of tillage and crop residues management on lentil (Lens culinaris L.) yield, some yield components and weed density in rainfed areas of Turkey
Authors: Kiliç* Hasan , Türk1 Zübeyir , Gürsoy2 Songül
Published: December 2015

To study various forms of tillage and residue management, and the timing of such operations for lentil (Lens culinaris, L) agriculture after wheat (Triticum turgidum sp. durum) harvest in rainfed areas of South-East Anatolia Region of Turkey, ten different treatments were evaluated for three years from 2002 to 2005. According to statically analysis results of data obtained from experiment, the effect of treatments on weed density was significant. Secondary tillage after rainfall reduced both grassy and broadleaf weed density. The residue burning didn’t significantly reduce weed density. Late plantings gave significantly higher lentil seed yield than early plantings. The T9 treatment which was residue chopping + summer chisel + cultivator after rainfall + late planting gave the highest grain yield and net benefit. The other treatments were dominated due to less net benefit and higher costs that vary. Therefore, they were considered as uneconomical treatments.
Molybdenum fertilization effect on nodulation, yield and quality of green gram grown in the soils of southern agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Velmurugan* R. , Mahendran P. P.
Published: December 2015

A pot experiment was conducted under natural condition with green gram (cultivar CO 6) using twenty bulk soil samples collected from major soil series of Southern agro–climatic zone of Tamil Nadu. Application of graded levels of molybdenum (Mo) at 0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.1 mg kg-1 positively influenced the yield, nodulation characteristics and nutritional quality of green gram crop. The highest number of nodules, dry weight nodules per plant, nodule N concentration and chlorophyll content of leaves were registered at 0.075 mg kg-1 level. Similarly, the seed and stover yield, uptake of N, P, K and Mo by green gram were also increased with molybdenum application up to 0.075 mg kg-1 level beyond which they declined. However, the amount of protein in seed significantly increased with increasing levels of Mo up to 0.1 mg kg-1 level in different soils. Hence, Mo application not only increased the yield but also enhanced the nutritional quality of green gram through effective nodulation.
Growth, yield attributes and yield of medium duration pigeonpea hybrid ICPH-2671 as influenced by fertility levels and planting geometry

Published: December 2015

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2009 to study the response of hybrid pigeonpea to planting geometry and fertility levels. The results revealed that the hybrid pigeonpea ICPH-2671 recorded significantly higher grain yield (2.40 tha-1) as compared to cv. Maruti (1.68 t ha-1) and the magnitude of increase was 41.7 % higher. The yield parameters like grain weight plant-1, number of pods plant-1 and growth parameters like number of primary and secondary branches plant-1, LAI and dry matter production and its distribution were higher with hybrid pigeonpea ICPH-2671 compared to variety Maruti. Significant differences were observed among the plant geometry and fertility levels and their interactions with respect to growth and yield parameters. The plant geometry of 90 cm x 45 cm recorded significantly higher grain yield (2.57 t ha-1) as compared to closer geometry of 60 cm x 30 cm (2.19 t ha-1). The fertility level of 50: 100 N, P kg ha-1 resulted in significantly higher grain yield (2.57 t ha-1) as compared to lower fertility level of 25:50 N, P Kg ha-1 (2.23 t ha-1).
Growth and yield response of chickpea to Rhizobium inoculation: productivity in relation to interception of radiation
Authors: Ogola John B. O.
Published: December 2015

Crop productivity may be increased by manipulating management practices that enhance resource capture and utilisation during yield formation. This study aimed at assessing the effect of Rhizobium inoculation on growth, yield and radiation use of two chickpea cultivars at Thohoyandou, South Africa in winter 2011 and 2012. Nodulation was determined at flowering, crop biomass and grain yield were determined at harvest maturity, intercepted total radiation was determined by measuring photosynthetically active radiation above and below the crop canopy at 7-days intervals using an AccuPAR ceptometer, and radiation use efficiency was calculated as ratio of yield to intercepted total radiation. Number and weight of nodules per plant were greater with inoculation compared with the control. There were no significant differences in crop biomass, grain yield, harvest index, intercepted total radiation and radiation use efficiency between Rhizobium inoculation and the non-inoculated control. The low yield and non-significant effect of Rhizobium inoculation suggest that (i) the productivity of chickpea was probably constrained by factors other than nitrogen deficiency; or (ii) there was no difference in nitrogen fixation between the inoculated and non-inoculated treatments. However, further field trials should be conducted, over several seasons, before any definite conclusions can be drawn.

A field experiment was conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute Regional Station, Karnal, Haryana to evaluate the effect of spacing and frequencies of leaf cutting on seed yield in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum L.) cv. Pusa Early Bunching. The treatments comprised of three row spacing (30, 45 and 60 cm) in main plot and three leaf cuttings (none, one and two cuttings) in sub plots. Row spacing at 45 cm recorded significantly higher leaf yield ha−1 (89.05q) than 30 cm (70.53q) and 60 cm (75.95q) spacing, respectively. Spacing at 60 cm resulted in significantly higher test weight than the lower spacings. No leaf cutting treatment recorded higher test weight than one and two leaf cutting levels. The treatment comprising row spacing at 45 cm with one leaf cutting at 60 DAS resulted in a seed yield of 9.10 q ha−1 and leaf yield of 48.96 q ha−1. This treatment also recorded highest net returns ha−1 (Rs. 34065/-) and B:C ratio (1.41).
Environmental change disrupts communication and sexual selection in a stickleback population
Authors: Candolin Ulrika , Tukiainen Iina , Bertell Elina
Published: December 2015

Environmental change that disrupts communication during mate choice and alters sexual selection could influence population dynamics. Yet little is known about such long‐term effects. We investigated experimentally the consequences that disrupted visual communication during mate choice has for the quantity and viability of offspring produced in a threespine stickleback population (Gasterosteus aculeatus). We further related the results to long term monitoring of population dynamics in the field to determine if changes are apparent under natural conditions. The results show that impaired visual communication because of algal blooms reduces reliability of male visual signals as indicators of offspring survival during their first weeks of life. This relaxes sexual selection but has no effect on the number of offspring hatching, as most males have a high hatching success in turbid water. Despite eutrophication and high turbidity levels that interfere with communication during mate choice, the population has grown during recent decades. Large numbers of offspring hatching, combined with high variation in juvenile fitness, has probably shifted selection to later life history stages and maintained a viable population. Together with reduced cost of sexual selection and ongoing ecosystem changes caused by human activities, this could have promoted population growth. These results point to the complexity of ecosystems and the necessity to consider all influencing factors when attempting to understand impacts of human activities on populations.
Does Education Pay In South Africa? Estimating Returns To Education Using Two Stage Least Squares Approach
Authors: Biyase Mduduzi , Zwane Talent
Published: December 2015

This paper investigates, using the first three waves of the National Income Dynamic dataset, the link between education and wages. Specifically it estimates the potential impact of the educational levels on wages in South Africa over the period 2008 – 2012.  A two-stage least squares (2SLS) method is applied to account for endogeneity bias. More specifically, we use a lagged education as an instrumental variable in a two-stage least squares framework. Our results show that the proposed instruments is relevant and that there is an unambiguously positive effect on the wages of an individual from participation in education.
Lender-Borrower Relationships In Austrian Banks: An Exploratory Study Of Distressed Loans
Authors: Mitter Christine , Weidinger Andrea , Coetzee Johan
Published: December 2015

Drawing on interviews with the heads of the workout units of a non-probability sample of 12 Austrian banks, this exploratory study investigates the relationship between distressed borrowers and their banks. The heterogeneous sample was selected based on several structural factors with one main criterion being the regional or international focus of the respective bank. The findings suggest that internal loan workouts are the predominant and preferred strategy amongst most interviewed banks. However, while the international banks do not restructure at all costs, working out the distressed nature of the loan appears to be the overarching objective of regional and smaller banks. By implication, the regional banks were found to be more ‘hands-on’ when dealing with distressed loans than their larger international counterparts. Active loan workout processes and specialised units were also found to be part of both international and regional banks’ strategies to deal with distressed loans. The regional banks were also more inclined to include the relationship banker in the workout process and tend to take longer to workout distressed loans.
MOOCs and the claim of education for all: A disillusion by empirical data
Authors: Rohs Matthias , Ganz Mario
Published: December 2015

MOOCs have shaped the discussion on learning with digital media for the last few years. One claim of MOOCs in the tradition of Open Educational Resources is to expand access to education, mainly in the field of higher education. But do MOOCs meet this claim? The empirical data in this article confirm the suspicion that, despite all the heterogeneity of the participants, MOOCs are mostly used by people with a higher level of education. Data of participants from two MOOCs from Germany, as well as, empirical data from large providers and universities are used. But due to the different forms of MOOCs there is no comprehensive proof possible. With respect to the Knowledge Gap Theory and the Digital Divide, a theoretical framework is provided to explain possible causes of a different usage. The aim of the article is to point out the risks of an increase of inequalities as a consequence of hyping MOOCs and to stimulate a discussion about possible answers to make MOOCs an instrument of education for all.
Dimensions of Openness: Beyond the Course as an Open Format in Online Education
Authors: Dalsgaard Christian , Thestrup Klaus
Published: December 2015

The objective of the paper is to provide a framework for understanding the pedagogical opportunities of openness in education. The paper will argue that openness in education should not only be viewed as opening existing resources and courses to a broader audience. Openness is also a matter of providing insight and enable communication and collaboration across traditional barriers – such as distance and accessibility. From this perspective, openness is the removal of barriers for interaction and exchange – and not only a matter of providing access to resources or courses. Rather, the objective is to open education to the outside world, which entails an interaction between educational institutions and society. The key point of the paper is that to do this, educational activities need to change and move beyond the course as the main unit of openness. Openness is not only a matter of opening up the existing, but to develop new educational practices that interact with the world. The paper outlines three different dimensions of openness that describe different types of interaction between institutions and society: transparency, communication and engagement. To exemplify the dimensions, the paper presents a case study that demonstrates the three dimensions of openness in an university programme. The paper concludes in a discussion of educational technologies for the different dimensions of openness.
Land characterisation for soil-based constructed wetlands: Adapting investigation methods to design objectives

Published: December 2015

Buffer zones between wastewater treatment plants and receiving water bodies have recently gained interest in France. These soil-based constructed wetland (SBCW) systems receive treated wastewater and may have various designs aiming to mimic ‘natural’ wetlands. Research is needed to assess the treatment efficiency of such systems. To this aim, a comprehensive study is carried out to understand the fate of water, conventional pollutants (suspended solids, organic carbon, ammonium, and phosphates), micro-pollutants that are refractory to up-stream biological treatment, and pathogens. Special attention must be paid to understand the fate of the infiltrated treated wastewater in the field where systems are built, in order to ensure their long-term operation and to protect the underground water bodies. To address these issues, we propose a comprehensive strategy combining successive steps using either geological or hydrological methods. It provides the following prominent information for a proper design of SBCW: (1) the number and the location of the different soil layers; (2) the infiltration capacity of each layer; (3) the water table depth. The paper presents a successful application of the proposed strategy to evaluate the fate of the infiltrated treated wastewater before the implementation of a semi-industrial scale SBCW in Bègles (France). Moreover, methods used for long-term efficiency assessment are introduced.
Inter-and trans-disciplinary research in shared river basin management
Authors: Rauen William Bonino , Teixeira Edmilson Costa
Published: December 2015

River basin management initiatives usually require an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to achieve relevant and wide ranging targets, due to the magnitude and nature of socioeconomic and environmental problems. Nonetheless, a large number of initiatives suffer from fragmentation and are multidisciplinary, at best, which often brings undesired and unexpected consequences. This scenario is complicated further by the gap that occurs between scientific advancements and their implementation into management practice, thus impairing the provision of social services and maintenance of ecosystem functions – particularly in developing countries. In this context, there have been significant efforts to decentralise river basin management in many countries. In Brazil, federal law no. 9433/1997 also prescribes social participation as a key element in the national water resources policy. Here it is argued that this comprises a transdisciplinary movement in itself, as it incorporates local knowledge, expectations and potential into the decision making process that aims to achieve sustainable and long lasting solutions to water management problems.
Ceramic microfiltration – influence of pretreatment on operational performance
Authors: Zheng J. , Galjaard G. , Shorney-Darby H.
Published: December 2015

A sustainable membrane operation often requires pretreatment of the feed liquor to improve its technical and economic feasibility. This paper reports the impact of pretreatment on the performance of ceramic microfiltration for several pilot studies at different locations. Four different pretreatment processes were investigated: (1) in-line coagulation (to remove high molecular weight, HMW, dissolved organic carbon, DOC); (2) ion exchange (to remove low molecular weight, LMW, DOC); (3) ozone (for disinfection, taste and odor control, and modifying the character of DOC) (4) ion exchange followed by in-line coagulation (for almost complete removal of DOC). Pretreatment in all cases was needed to control membrane fouling, to establish a technically and economically feasible process. These studies seem to show that the DOC's HMW (which includes biopolymers) and LMW fractions (the latter includes humics/acids), are primarily responsible for the TMP increase after filtration followed by backwashing (irreversible fouling). Removing one of these organic fractions often results in more stable operation. Ozonation in all cases led to better operation, but is not always economically feasible. The feasibility of ozone as pre-treatment depends largely on the initial ozone demand, and whether or not there are secondary treatment targets (e.g., higher virus removal, taste, and/or odor).
