Female Sexual Dysfunction among Indian Infertile Females
Authors: Agarwal Ritu
Published: May 2017

Introduction

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is very common among infertile patients. Whether FSD leads to infertility or infertility leads to FSD is still less understood.

Objectives

To study the prevalence of FSD and various factors that can lead to sexual dysfunction.

Materials and methods

This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted at a tertiary care center in Ahmedabad from June 2015 to March 2016. A total of 240 infertile patients in reproductive age group (20—47 years) were studied, for which informed consent was obtained. Female sexual dysfunction was assessed with a detailed 19-item female sexual function index questionnaire. All six domains of sexual dysfunction, i.e., desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, were studied. Various associated factors like gynecological and psychological disorders were also studied. Fertile patients were excluded.

Results

The prevalence of FSD among infertile patients was 48.75%. The most common sexual dysfunction was arousal (94.01%) followed by lubrication (89.74%) and orgasm dysfunction (85.47%). Psychological status of patients had significant impact on sexual life.

Conclusion

Sexuality is an important part of an individual's personality. With time, stress in life and sexual dysfunction are also increasing. Therefore, sexual function assessment should be included in the routine workup for infertility.

A Rare Case of Cartilaginous Heterotopia in Broad Ligament of Uterus
Authors: Kaur Amandeep , Kaur Khushpreet , Kaur Arwinder , Chopra Namita
Published: May 2017

Heterotopia is the occurrence of mature tissue at abnormal location. A very rare case of cartilaginous heterotopias in the broad ligament of a 47-year-old female is described. Literature contains very few references related to it. In this patient, there was no evidence of any malignancy in the abdomen or in any other part of the body, except cervical intraepithelial neoplasia changes in cervix. The peritoneal lesion was an incidental finding in this female who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy in view of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion of cervix on cervical biopsy. A firm to hard, white-colored, tubular, branched structure, embedded in left broad ligament reaching till serosa of left fallopian tube and undersurface of left ovary was present. Histopathology showed mature cartilage of hyaline type with well-formed chondrocytes and lacunae with surrounding fibrosis with no evidence of cytological atypia, reactive inflammatory changes, or foreign body reaction. This may represent metaplastic lesions of secondary Müllerian system or benign neoplastic lesions (chondroma) of submesothelium.

Herlyn—Werner—Wunderlich Syndrome: Premenarche
Authors: David Anita , Gudi Shobha N , Shankar R
Published: May 2017

Aim

To increase awareness about this rare condition in order to aid early diagnosis and effective treatment which can eventually prevent complications and infertility issues in the future.

Materials and methods

A case of a 10 year old pre-menarchal girl, who presented with this syndrome, was managed surgically. After this, a literature search was done and similar case reports were reviewed.

Results

The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWW) is a rare Müllerian anomaly with an incidence of 0.1-3.8%. It is characterised by uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This condition can be treated with surgery. Since delay in diagnosis may lead to complications, early diagnosis and treatment is beneficial. When Müllerian anomalies are encountered, a screening should also be made for congenital renal abnormalities and vice versa. This condition usually presents postmenarche with abdominal pain due to hematocolpos or dysmenorrhoea. However, there are rare occasions when this condition can present even before menarche.

Conclusion

The clinical presentation of HWW syndrome requires a high index of clinical suspicion. Though computed tomography or ultrasound can be used to confirm the diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging is considered to be the preferred imaging modality. Early diagnosis and surgical management is important in order to prevent complications like retrograde tubal reflux, leading to endometriosis and infertility.

A Prospective, Pre- and Post-comparative Study to assess Knowledge about Medical Writing
Authors: Salgaonkar Sweta , Lakhotia Aditi , Wajekar Anjana S
Published: May 2017

Background

Medical writing is an important component of any research starting with writing a research protocol up to its culmination into presentations and publications. In spite of numerous mandatory academic projects being undertaken in India, the research output in peer-reviewed journals remains low. Lack of proficiency in medical writing has been cited as one of the important causes for same. We conducted a pre- and post-continued medical education (CME) multiple choice questions (MCQs) questionnaire test to assess the baseline knowledge of the participants in this field and observe their improvement after the CME.

Materials and methods

210 medical students and faculty from various medical disciplines participated in the workshop. Responses to a 15 item validated MCQs questionnaire under various headings such as literature search, spectrum of formats, statistics, references and reporting were collected from the participants of the CME.

Results

40.48% of the participants responded for pre-CME questionnaire forms and 36.67% for the post-CME questionnaire forms. In the post-CME questionnaire, a vast improvement was obtained in almost all questions, observed most prominently in the sections on literature search, referencing and reporting guidelines.

Conclusion

Training programs in medical writing should be included as a part of the curriculum from undergraduate days. Till the time that this becomes a reality, we should continue to equip ourselves with good medical writing skills by organizing such educative programs.

Comparison of Safety and Efficacy of ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Array vs Endotracheal Intubation for Gynecological Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Authors: Shetty Anita , Oak Shrikanta , Avhad Valmik
Published: May 2017

This was a prospective randomized study comparing the safety and efficacy of ProSeal laryngeal mask array (PLMA) vs endotracheal intubation (ETI) in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries undertaken in 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist I and II divided into two groups. The parameters assessed were insertion characteristics, hemodynamic response to insertion, gastric distension, and perioperative complications.

The demographic data were comparable. The first-time success rate was slightly higher for PLMA than for ETI. The time required for achieving effective airway was longer in ETI than in PLMA (25.6 ± 8.1 seconds for ETI vs 18.2 ± 5 seconds for PLMA).

The hemodynamic response to intubation/insertion was more in ETI group than in PLMA group, i.e., there was more rise in pulse rate and mean arterial pressure following ETI than PLMA insertion.

Intraoperatively, no episodes of laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desaturation, and inadequate ventilation were observed in both the groups. Postoperatively, sore throat complaints were observed more with ETI than with PLMA.

Prospective Randomized Controlled Study to assess the Role of Dexmedetomidine on Perioperative Hemodynamics in Patients with Supratentorial Tumor undergoing Surgery
Authors: Vaishnav Sachin , Shetty Anita , Sarkar Manjula
Published: May 2017

The stress response to an intense painful surgical stimulus is characterized by activation of the sympathetic nervous system and an increased secretion of the stress hormones. The ability of the alpha agonist dexmedetomidine (DEX) to decrease heart rate (HR) and arterial blood pressure in perioperative period was tested. One hundred and thirty two patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumor were randomly distributed to receive either saline (B group) or DEX (A group). The placebo group received saline, whereas the treatment group (A group) received a single bolus dose of DEX (1μg/kg) intravenously over 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameters, such as HR and arterial blood pressure were measured. Both the groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, American Society for Anesthesiologist grade, and duration of surgery. The arterial blood pressure and HR were found to be lower in the DEX group when compared with the placebo group.

Anesthesia Management of a Patient with Sickle Hemoglobinopathy and Mitral Stenosis for Emergency Lower (Uterine) Segment Cesarean Section
Authors: Salgaonkar Sweta , Devalkar Priti , Dhale Vasundhara V
Published: May 2017

The pregnant patient with sickle hemoglobinopathy (SH) and mitral stenosis (MS) presenting for emergency lower (uterine) segment cesarean section (LSCS) represents a challenge to the anesthesiologist. In such a case, the choice of anesthesia is dependent on the patient’s clinical condition, urgency of surgery, and the reports of laboratory investigations. An understanding of physiological changes in pregnancy and the pathological impact of MS and SH on pregnancy will help the administration of safe anesthesia for mother and baby. We have discussed the management of a pregnant patient with SH and MS for emergency LSCS.

Bilateral Plunging Ranula due to Habitual Etiology
Authors: Singh A , Bishen Kundendu A , Limaye M , Mishra K
Published: May 2017

Plunging ranulas are pseudocysts in which mucous have extravasated either around or through the mylohyoid muscle to escape the confines of sublingual space to involve the submandibular and inferior aspect of parapharyngeal spaces. We describe a rare case of extensive bilateral plunging ranula in which involvement of multiple tissue spaces was well illustrated by magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical and histologic features and pathogenesis have been concisely discussed. The ranulas mostly occur unilaterally and to the best of our knowledge, the development of two discrete ranulas/bilateral presentations in the same patient is especially rare and very few cases have been reported until now. Although the cause of extravasations remains unclear, this case report is significant because of its characteristic possible habit-related etiology.

The radiative role of ozone and water vapour in the annual temperature cycle in the tropical tropopause layer
Authors: Ming Alison , Maycock Amanda C. , Hitchcock Peter , Haynes Peter
Published: May 2017

Abstract. The structure and amplitude of the radiative contributions of the annual cycles in ozone and water vapour to the prominent annual cycle in temperatures in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) are considered. This is done initially through a seasonally evolving fixed dynamical heating (SEFDH) calculation. The annual cycle in ozone is found to drive significant temperature changes predominantly locally (in the vertical) and roughly in phase with the observed TTL annual cycle. In contrast, temperature changes driven by the annual cycle in water vapour are out of phase with the latter. The effects are weaker than those of ozone but still quantitatively significant, particularly near the cold point (100 to 90 hPa) where there are substantial non-local effects from variations in water vapour in lower layers of the TTL. The combined radiative heating effect of the annual cycles in ozone and water vapour maximizes above the cold point and is one factor contributing to the vertical structure of the amplitude of the annual cycle in lower-stratospheric temperatures, which has a relatively localized maximum around 70 hPa. Other important factors are identified here: radiative damping timescales, which are shown to maximize over a deep layer centred on the cold point; the vertical structure of the dynamical heating; and non-radiative processes in the upper troposphere that are inferred to impose a strong constraint on tropical temperature perturbations below 130 hPa. The latitudinal structure of the radiative contributions to the annual cycle in temperatures is found to be substantially modified when the SEFDH assumption is relaxed and the dynamical response, as represented by a zonally symmetric calculation, is taken into account. The effect of the dynamical response is to reduce the strong latitudinal gradients and inter-hemispheric asymmetry seen in the purely radiative SEFDH temperature response, while leaving the 20° N–20° S average response relatively unchanged. The net contribution of the annual ozone and water vapour cycles to the peak-to-peak amplitude in the annual cycle of TTL temperatures is found to be around 35 % of the observed 8 K at 70 hPa, 40 % of 6 K at 90 hPa, and 45 % of 3 K at 100 hPa. The primary sensitivity of the calculated magnitude of the temperature response is identified as the assumed annual mean ozone mixing ratio in the TTL.

Published: May 2017

Abstract. pH is a fundamental aerosol property that affects ambient particle concentration and composition, linking pH to all aerosol environmental impacts. Here, PM1 and PM2. 5 pH are calculated based on data from measurements during the California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) study from 15 May to 15 June 2010 in Pasadena, CA. Particle pH and water were predicted with the ISORROPIA-II thermodynamic model and validated by comparing predicted to measured gas–particle partitioning of inorganic nitrate, ammonium, and chloride. The study mean ± standard deviation PM1 pH was 1.9 ± 0.5 for the SO42−–NO3−–NH4+–HNO3–NH3 system. For PM2. 5, internal mixing of sea salt components (SO42−–NO3−–NH4+–Na+–Cl−–K+–HNO3–NH3–HCl system) raised the bulk pH to 2.7 ± 0.3 and improved predicted nitric acid partitioning with PM2. 5 components. The results show little effect of sea salt on PM1 pH, but significant effects on PM2. 5 pH. A mean PM1 pH of 1.9 at Pasadena was approximately one unit higher than what we have reported in the southeastern US, despite similar temperature, relative humidity, and sulfate ranges, and is due to higher total nitrate concentrations (nitric acid plus nitrate) relative to sulfate, a situation where particle water is affected by semi-volatile nitrate concentrations. Under these conditions nitric acid partitioning can further promote nitrate formation by increasing aerosol water, which raises pH by dilution, further increasing nitric acid partitioning and resulting in a significant increase in fine particle nitrate and pH. This study provides insights into the complex interactions between particle pH and nitrate in a summertime coastal environment and a contrast to recently reported pH in the eastern US in summer and winter and the eastern Mediterranean. All studies have consistently found highly acidic PM1 with pH generally below 3.
Multimodel probabilistic prediction of 2 m-temperature anomalies on the monthly timescale
Authors: Ferrone Alfonso , Mastrangelo Daniele , Malguzzi Piero
Published: May 2017

Abstract. The 2 m-temperature anomalies from the reforecasts of the CNR-ISAC and ECMWF monthly prediction systems have been combined in a multimodel super-ensemble. Tercile probability predictions obtained from the multimodel have been constructed using direct model outputs (DMO) and model output statistics (MOS), like logistic and nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression, for the 1990–2010 winter seasons. Verification with ERA-Interim reanalyses indicates that logistic regression gives the best results in terms of ranked probability skill scores (RPSS) and reliability diagrams for low–medium forecast probabilities. Also, it is argued that the logistic regression would not yield further improvements if a larger dataset was used.

Abstract. Diurnal fluctuations in seawater temperature are ubiquitous on tropical reef flats. However, effects of such dynamic temperature variations on the early stages of corals are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the responses of larvae and new spats of Pocillopora damicornis to two constant temperature treatments (29 and 31 °C), and two diurnally fluctuating treatments (28–31 and 30–33 °C with daily means of 29 and 31 °C, respectively) simulating the 3 °C diel oscillations at 3 m depth on Luhuitou fringing reef (Sanya, China). Results showed that the thermal stress on settlement at 31 °C was almost negated by the fluctuating treatment. Further, temperature fluctuations did not exacerbate bleaching responses but alleviated the maximum excitation pressure over photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ). Although early growth and development were highly stimulated at 31 °C, oscillations of 3 °C had little effects on budding and lateral growth. Nevertheless, daytime encounters with the maximum temperature of 33 °C elicited a notable reduction in calcification. These results underscore the complexity in the effects caused by diel temperature fluctuations on early stages of corals, and suggest that the ecologically relevant temperature variability could buffer the warming stress on larval settlement and dampen the positive effects of increased temperatures on coral growth.
Integrated assessment of future potential global change scenarios and their hydrological impacts in coastal aquifers. A new tool to analyse management alternatives under uncertainty in the Plana Oropesa-Torreblanca aquifer
Authors: Pulido-Velazquez David , Renau-Pruñonosa Arianna , Llopis-Albert Carlos , Morell Ignacio , Collados-Lara Antonio-Juan , Senent-Aparicio Javier
Published: May 2017

Abstract. Any change in the components of the water balance in a coastal aquifer, whether natural or anthropogenic, can alter the fresh water-salt water equilibrium. In this sense Climate change (CC) and Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change might significantly influence the availability of groundwater resources in the future. These coastal systems demand an integrated analysis of quantity and quality issues to obtain an appropriate assessment of hydrological impacts using density-dependent flow solutions. The aim of this work is to perform an integrated analysis of future potential global change scenarios and their hydrological impacts in a coastal aquifer, the Plana Oropesa-Torreblanca aquifer. It is a Mediterranean aquifer that extends over a 75 km2 in which important historical LULC changes have been produced and are planned for the future. Future CC scenarios will be defined by using equi-feasible and non-feasible ensemble of projections based on the results of a multi-criteria analysis of the series generated from several Regional Climatic Models with different downscaling approaches. The hydrological impacts of these CC scenarios combined with future LULC scenarios will be assessed with a chain of models defined by a sequential coupling of rainfall-recharge models, crop irrigations requirements and irrigation returns models (for the aquifer and its neighbours that feeds it), and a density dependent aquifer approach. This chain of models, calibrated using the available historical data, allow testing the conceptual approximation of the aquifer behaviour. They are also fed with series representatives of potential GC scenarios in order to perform a sensitivity analysis regarding future scenarios of rainfall recharge, lateral flows of the hydraulically-connected neighbouring aquifer, agricultural recharge (taking into account expected future LULC changes) and Sea Level Rise (SLR). The proposed analysis is valuable to improve our knowledge about the aquifer and so comprise a tool to design sustainable adaptation management strategies taking into account the uncertainty in future global change conditions and their impacts. The results show that CC and LULC scenarios produce significant increase in the variability of flow budget components and in the chloride salinity concentration. They also show a low sensitivity to the SLR scenarios, especially in terms of hydraulic head.
Observations of brine plumes below Arctic sea ice
Authors: Peterson Algot K.
Published: May 2017

Abstract. In sea ice, interconnected pockets and channels of brine are surrounded by fresh ice. Over time, brine is lost by gravity drainage and flushing. The timing of salt release and its interaction with the underlying water can impact subsequent sea ice melt. Turbulence measurements 1 m below melting sea ice north of Svalbard reveal anti-correlated heat and salt fluxes. From the observations, 131 salty plumes descending from the warm sea ice are identified, confirming previous observations from a Svalbard fjord. The plumes are likely triggered by oceanic heat through bottom melt. Calculated over a composite plume, oceanic heat- and salt fluxes during the plumes account for 6 % and 9 % of the total fluxes, respectively, while only lasting in total 0.5 % of the time. The observed salt flux accumulates to 7.6 kg m−2, indicating nearly full desalination of the ice. Bulk salinity reduction between two nearby ice cores agree with accumulated salt fluxes to within factor of two. The increasing fraction of younger, more saline ice in the Arctic suggests an increase in desalination processes with the transition to the new Arctic.
El cine documental de Claude Lanzmann. El Holocausto contado a partir de Shoah
Authors: Mendieta Rodríguez Elios
Published: May 2017

desde que filmara el documental Shoah, en 1985, Claude Lanzmann no ha dejado de crear piezas cinematográficas que resultan fundamentales para entender el desarrollo del pensamiento historiográfico de la segunda mitad del pasado siglo. Su particular forma de contar el horror, por medio de los testimonios, es un camino fidedigno de contar la realidad. ante este modo narrativo, han surgido diversos discursos críticos, que también serán tratados. Lo cierto es que la influencia de la obra de Lanzmann ha sido capital, y este trabajo pretende, a partir de esta, acercarse al Holocausto con el cine documental como herramienta propicia para ello. de este modo, se realizará un estudio de las características cinematográficas desarrolladas por el director desde Shoah hasta El último de los injustos, su último filme estrenado hasta la fecha.
Contra-narrativas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el cine griego
Authors: Mini Panayiota
Published: May 2017

This article examines three Greek films of the mid-1960s which countered the heroic narrative of World War II: Manousakis’s Betrayal, the story of the love affair between a German officer and a Greek Jewish girl; Kyrou’s The Blockade, dramatizing the resistance and the collaboration under the German occupation; and Glykofrydis’s With a Sparkle in the Eyes, depicting a father’s heartbreaking dilemma. The article explicates the war memories that the films proposed, the artistic and ideological filters through which these memories took shape, and the responses of Greek reviewers. Representing World War II in Greek cinema, the article shows, proved a parlous undertaking as filmmakers and critics were simultaneously confronted with national traumas and sensitive political and diplomatic subjects.
La Estela del Blitz: el constructo cultural británico tras la Segunda Guerra MundialLa Estela del Blitz: el constructo cultural británico tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Navarro González Carlos
Published: May 2017

Para Gran Bretaña la Segunda Guerra Mundial sigue siendo un sinónimo del Blitz (Blitzkrieg). La metrópolis quedó destruida por más de 18 000 bombas entre 1940 y 1941, su identidad gravemente dañada y, con ello, se ponía fin a un período imperial que trastocaría irremediablemente las formas de comportamiento y expresión de toda la cultura británica. El sujeto cultural británico, tras el Blitz y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se construiría literaria y artísticamente de una manera totalmente nueva y enraizada en unas concepciones surgidas del desastre. La literatura, el texto dramático y la poesía se edificaron a caballo entre el constructo cultural tradicional británico y una introspección individual del sujeto en el que este identifica a un «enemigo» externo y uno interno.
Consecuencias de la II Guerra Mundial para el arte alemán
Authors: Piñel López Rosa
Published: May 2017

la Segunda Guerra Mundial supuso la mayor tragedia humana de la historia occidental y tuvo además un efecto letal en la cultura y en el arte europeos. la persecución nazi del «arte degenerado» no solo provocó el desmantelamiento de las relaciones de todas las vanguardias internacionales, sino también la pérdida de miles de obras de sus representantes más destacados. Hitler utilizó el arte como el instrumento fundamental para la consolidación del régimen y como medio propagandístico de la ideología nazi. los artistas alemanes que formaban parte de las vanguardias surgidas antes y después de la Primera Guerra Mundial fueron declarados enemigos del régimen y la persecución a la que fueron sometidos obligó a la mayoría de ellos a huir al extranjero o a esconderse. Otros fueron asesinados. Al acabar la guerra el panorama artístico europeo era desolador, lo que propició que Nueva York se convirtiera en la capital mundial del arte.
Des)Integraciones posbélicas. Lo experimental situacionista frente al reformismo del Nouveau roman
Authors: Polo Fernández Elena
Published: May 2017

A partir de 1945, con el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el arte considerado hasta el momento de vanguardia es asimilado por una cultura de masas que poco a poco está ganando terreno en las inauguradas democracias occidentales. En Francia el dadaísmo y el surrealismo son acogidos y celebrados por las grandes masas urbanas de tal manera que esa posición marginal y revolucionaria que ocupaban antes de la guerra queda ahora desplazada. Pasan de la periferia al centro de la cultura y dejan un vacío que rápidamente será disputado por distintos movimientos como el letrismo, el grupo CoBrA, el situacionismo o los nouveaux, los cuales propondrán nuevas y muy diferentes aproximaciones a la práctica artística.
La resistencia desde el exilio: Chile y la revista españa Libre
Authors: Yousfi López Yasmina
Published: May 2017

Numerosos españoles republicanos continuaron desplegando una férrea y activa lucha contra el fascismo desde el exilio. Su compromiso se manifestó a través de una intensa actividad intelectual focalizada, frecuentemente, en los derroteros de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las revistas culturales fueron medios de expresión muy habituales. En Chile, una de las más significativas –desconocida aún– fue España Libre (1942-1943), un «semanario republicano español» que, a través de múltiples crónicas y artículos, ofrecía un profuso seguimiento del curso de la guerra y, hoy día, refleja las preocupaciones artísticas, políticas, estéticas y filosóficas que, desde el exilio, suscitaba el contexto bélico internacional.
Ontology of Public Health in University Curriculum: Exploring Basic Elements of an Interdisciplinary Field of Knowledge
Authors: Islam Zahirul
Published: May 2017

Public health has constituted itself as a distinct academic discipline. The present paper attempts to understand ontology of this discipline. A study has recently been carried out which concerns, first, conceptualization of ontology of public health, secondly, nature of public health, and thirdly, curriculum development. Ontology is a philosophical doctrine that refers to an understanding about the basic elements theorized about. As the paper unveils, the tenet of public health is that the health state is not a matter of ‘individual’ only; rather this is a question of the ‘collective’ too. Diverse aspects take forms of intellectual construction which are transformed into the subject of the discipline. They are categorized as worldview, theory, methodology, instrumentation, and application. The constructions are internalized in the discipline’s nature to be ‘epistemic’, ‘interdisciplinary’ and ‘componential’. In order to produce knowledge, the discipline involves an epistemic process consisting of priori and posteriori approaches. Public health, though the prevailing thoughts and practices are derived from biomedical paradigms, contains an interdisciplinary trait that draws from the fields of formal, organic, inorganic and social sciences. The discipline comes to be appeared as an integral whole being componential. The aforementioned categories of intellectual constructions are viewed as the basic elements of public health. Elements exist and operate in a center/periphery binary relationship. Center (worldview), while it holds the whole structure of the discipline together, limits the movement of rest elements and keeps them in the periphery. The paper concludes by pointing out few issues for developing curriculum for universities.
El pensamiento de los futuros maestros de inglés en Educación Primaria: creencias sobre su autoeficacia docente
Authors: Fernández-Viciana Ana , Fernández-Costales Alberto
Published: May 2017

Este artículo presenta una investigación original sobre la autoeficacia docente y la formación lingüística percibida por los estudiantes del Grado en Educación Primaria (mención de inglés) de una universidad pública española. La investigación utiliza una muestra de 4 alumnos a los que se realizó una entrevista que incluía 21 preguntas. Los resultados obtenidos tras el análisis cualitativo sugieren que los participantes cuyo nivel es inferior al B2 muestran una autoeficacia lingüística baja. En líneas generales, los alumnos reclaman una mayor atención a la formación lingüística recibida en sus estudios, ya que esta resulta determinante para modelar su autoeficacia lingüística.

Published: May 2017

Nous initions ce premier volume de l’année avec un article du Dr Anna Camps. Cet article se fonde sur le discours prononcé par cette dernière pour l’inauguration du Master Officiel en Recherche en Éducation en 2016/17.  En tant qu’éditeurs, nous sommes heureux d’offrir un soutien, aussi petit soit-il, à nos collègues universitaires assiégés en Syrie, en initiant la section d’articles de recherche par un texte d’Abidrabbo Alnassan, qui propose une critique empirique des contenus lexicaux des livres de texte pour l’enseignement de l’arabe langue seconde dans une institution d’enseignement supérieur en Syrie.  Cet article est suivi par articles de recherche sur les perceptions de professeurs d’anglais en formation et sur les pratiques translangagières dans l’apprentissage précoce des langues.  Les articles sur la recherche sont complétés par une interview du Dr James Simpson, de la School of Education de l’Université de Leeds sur la TLang project et un revue du livre Linguistic Ethnography: Interdisciplinary Explorations.

This paper is devoted to the phenomenon of pharmaceutical crime. It is said to be one of the biggest threats in the twenty-first century, not only for the life, health and property of individuals, but also for businesses, state institutions and the economy as a whole. This controversial issue is very complex and because of this the publication’s author chooses to focus on the legal and criminal aspects of the phenomenon. The author shares statistics about the scale of the problem in Poland. He also tries to define this crime in legal terms. He also raises issues around criminal responsibility which is regulated by several acts - Penal Code, Pharmaceutical Law and the Industrial Property Law. This paper presents a wide range of factors that have a major impact on emergence and development of pharmaceutical crime. In this paper, the elements of criminal prevention of this type of crime, both within Poland and internationally are addressed.
The Law and Foreign Prisoners in Texas: A Socio-Legal Analysis
Authors: Gerber Jurg , Angulski Kate
Published: May 2017

We examine in this article the legal status of foreign prisoners in the United States in general, and in the State of Texas in particular. With few exceptions, the law does not distinguish between domestic and foreign prisoners, granting similar rights and obligations to each. We conclude this article by examining current controversies in the treatment of foreign prisoners in the United States. Issues examined include dietary restrictions, use of languages other than English, length of hair, and mandatory and indefinite detention of aliens.
Excremental Art: Small Wonder in a World Full of Shit
Authors: Verrips Jojada
Published: May 2017

The representation of urinating and defecating people by artists is a rather old phenomenon, for they pop up in the work of, for instance, Rembrandt. For the twentieth century the same can be observed, however with this remarkable difference with past ages, that the number of artists (playwrights, painters and performance artists to mention only a few) working with shit (as well as with bodily fluids and matter) enormously increased. Especially in the second half of this century it became very popular to use shit in plays, paintings and performances. This paper deals with the question, whether the artworks of so-called shit artists working in the West generally speaking are just a kind of wild manifestations of decadence and the abject, as so many people claim, or that they are meant to bring across a particular message with regard to the society and culture  in which they are produced. On the basis of the work of the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk and others the hypothesis will be launched that one cannot understand this remarkable blossoming of shit in the arts without taking into consideration the fact that we are living in an era of neo-capitalism, which implies a horrific transformation of consumption goods bought with the help of money (this eternal companion of shit) into all kinds of waste and ordure.

Authors: Vieira Maria Clarisse , Cruz Karla Nascimento
Published: May 2017

Este artigo analisa a produção acadêmica dos estudos de gênero no âmbito da educação de mulheres na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). Inicialmente, é  traçado um panorama histórico da educação da mulher na sociedade brasileira e na EJA. Em seguida, discute-se os resultados de uma pesquisa bibliográfica  realizada  nos últimos dez anos em periódicos da área de educação e no GT 18 (Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultos) da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (ANPEd). Buscou-se extrair da leitura desses trabalhos as abordagens teórico-metodológicas e as conclusões dos artigos. As produções mostram a sala de aula como espaço de perpetuação das desigualdades educacionais de gênero, destacando as trajetórias, bem como dificuldades de acesso e permanência das mulheres na alfabetização e educação de jovens e adultos.
Educação popular e movimentos sociais na América Latina: o desafio da participação cidadã
Authors: Zitkoski Jaime José
Published: May 2017

O estudo analisa, através de pesquisa bibliográfica, os desafios que hoje  se colocam aos Movimentos Sociais Populares na América Latina para construirmos novas formas de organização das lutas sociais. No atual contexto, um dos maiores desafios para os povos latino-americanos é resistir frente à intensa desmobilização das pautas  sociais imposta pela globalização hegemônica. Despontam com  mais força as  pautas  conservadoras, que revelam os interesses do poder econômico das instituições financeiras, aliando a mídia com o mercado,  impondo uma  agenda política em plano internacional. Mas nenhum poder, por mais fortemente estruturado que seja, é absoluto. Assim, o objetivo do artigo é evidenciar que o atual momento da América Latina é importante pelas experiências políticas que estão apresentando alternativas de democracia participativa e, igualmente, na produção da vida via outras  economias.
A disciplina Ensino Religioso: história, legislação e práticas
Authors: Sepulveda Denize , Sepulveda José Antonio
Published: May 2017

Este é um trabalho de análise documental que se baseou quase que exclusivamente em fontes primárias, e teve como referência teórica o conceito de campo de Pierre Bourdieu. Este estudo fez uso das legislações referentes à legalidade do ensino religioso nas escolas públicas brasileiras. Como recorte temporal, atende ao período de 1930 a 2010. Observa-se que a presença compulsória do ensino religioso no currículo das escolas públicas brasileiras demonstra que Estado e Igreja, historicamente, se reforçam mutuamente, gerando com isso tensões e conflitos por fragilizar a laicidade do Estado e a autonomia do campo educacional. O estudo conclui reconhecendo que no contexto atual a laicidade nas instituições escolares é condição fundamental para a efetivação de uma educação emancipadora que possibilite a implementação da democracia nesses espaços.

Authors: Castro Rafael Fonseca de , Damiani Magda Floriana
Published: May 2017

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa que objetivou investigar a evolução da expressão escrita de acadêmicas de Pedagogia a distância. Durante sete semestres, foram realizadas quatro intervenções e minucioso acompanhamento de seus textos. Os dados foram coletados via análise documental, questionário e entrevista. Das 42 acadêmicas da turma pesquisada, foram intencionalmente selecionadas três para o seguimento da pesquisa. Neste recorte, são descritas as intervenções e apresentados elementos relativos às impressões das acadêmicas sobre as mesmas. Segundo elas: o curso de Pedagogia pouco trabalhou conceitos de língua portuguesa e de produção textual; sentiam-se motivadas ao trabalharem com os conteúdos propostos nas intervenções; receberam positivamente as intervenções e; segundo as próprias e de acordo as análises de seus textos, é possível atestar o aprimoramento efetivo de suas produções textuais.
Sociologia da Infância e Educação Infantil: à procura de um diálogo
Authors: Marques Amanda Cristina Teagno Lopes
Published: May 2017

Este artigo tem por objetivo estabelecer aproximações entre os campos da Sociologia da Infância e da Educação Infantil, apontando elementos a serem contemplados na formulação de propostas pedagógicas para esse nível de ensino. Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, são apresentados conceitos da Sociologia da Infância a partir de autores como Corsaro (1997, 2002), Jenks (2002), Qvortrup (1993, 1994), Sarmento (2003, 2005, 2007), e tecida reflexão sobre uma proposta pedagógica para a Educação Infantil. A Sociologia da Infância configura-se como campo de estudos que percebe a infância como categoria social, e a criança como produtora de cultura. Essas concepções podem contribuir para a construção de projetos e práticas nas instituições de Educação Infantil que considerem as especificidades da infância e a criança enquanto agente.
Macro e micro regulações da/na escola: avaliações externas em foco
Authors: Nascente Renata Maria Moschen , Conti Celso Luiz Aparecido , Lima Emília Freitas de
Published: May 2017

O objetivo é analisar as visões de um grupo de diretoras acerca dos efeitos das avaliações externas no cotidiano escolar, que expressavam as formas pelas quais elas se apropriavam dessas macro regulações, traduzindo-as em micro regulações que compunham a organização de suas escolas. O texto se baseia em uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória realizada com 65 diretoras de escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo. O instrumento foi um questionário on line respondido quando as diretoras estavam participando de um curso de especialização oferecido por uma universidade pública, em convênio com o MEC, na Modalidade a Distância. A tematização dos dados evidenciou que as micro regulações podem ter um caráter de resistência, ampliando o escopo da autonomia da escola, ou, ao contrário, reacionário, fortalecendo a lógica das regulações externas.
Narrativas de vida e formação de professores gays: (auto)biográficas acerca do estranho que habita em mim
Authors: Rios Pedro Paulo Souza , Barros Edonilce Rocha , Vieira Andre Ricardo Lucas
Published: May 2017

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar, por meio de narrativas (auto)biográficas, as histórias de vida de professores homossexuais, na tentativa de compreender as nuances dos processos formativos implicados na história de vida e formação dos mesmos. Compreendemos assim, que as narrativas (auto)biográficas, enquanto perspectiva epistemológica se apresenta num instrumento rico de auto formação, uma vez que o ambiente escolar deve constituir-se em um espaço e em uma educação menos desigual, mais humanizadora e que potencialize as habilidades humanas. Conhecer aspectos do percurso da vida pessoal e profissional construído pelos professores foi uma experiência singular. A narrativa se apresentou numa outra experiência e isso contribuiu significativamente para que realizássemos reflexões ricas e produtivas acerca da formação e das suas trajetórias de vida.
