Research of 131Cs Radionuclide Production for Brachytherapy with Photonuclear Method
Authors: Белоусов А. , Belousov A. , Желтоножская М. , Zheltonozhskaya M. 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: Currently a brachytherapy method with 125I received widespread acceptance in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, since 2003, 131Cs radio-implants have been approved for clinical use in the treatment of this type of cancer. To investigate alternative 131Cs receiving channels using electron accelerators and to evaluate the effectiveness of this method for its use in brachytherapy.
Material and methods: To study alternative channels for the 131Cs production using electron accelerators and to evaluate the efficiency of this method, we irradiated the natural cesium target (0.35 g) on a pulsed microtron with an electron energy of 55 MeV, an average amperage of 40–45 nA during 80 min.
Results: The 131Cs activity in the irradiated sample was 12.2 ± 1.0 μCi at the end of irradiation.
Conclusion: In brachytherapy, 10 to 60 micro-sources are usually used to treat a patient. The activity of one therapeutic micro source is 131Cs of the order of 10–3 Ci. Thus, the development of the required amount becomes possible when using electron accelerators with currents of the order of 50 mA. In the future it is also necessary to investigate 131Cs in the electron energy range 30–45 MeV for choosing the optimal irradiation regime.

Published: February 2019

Slot-radiography is an x-ray examination in which a two-dimensional radiography with a straight beam and further computer stitching of the images obtained on the workstation during a single-pass of x-ray tube over a patient. The application of innovative techniques for image acquisition and processing in combination with a large-area flat panel detector (FPD) makes it possible to produce long-view images from one to several anatomical regions. During the investigation, the x-ray tube and the FPD move simultaneously at a constant speed in parallel relative to one another with the longitudinal axis of the body. Thus, it makes possible to obtain images with little distortion and processed images without visual defects. And this allows conducting more accurate diagnosis of pathological changes. Slot-radiography can be performed both in the patient’s standing position and lying down depending on the region of interest and tasks. It is possible to obtain images in both a frontal and a lateral projection without loss of quality.
Slot-radiography is effectively used to diagnose pathological changes in joints and spine, including scoliosis, limb shortening, segmental spinal instability, pathology of lower limb veins, and also as a method for assessing the quality of the treatment. This technique is characterized by safety and convenience for the patient: minimal time costs and low radiation exposure.
The application of this technique significantly increases the informative value of the x-ray examination, brings it to a qualitatively new level, providing a physician with a wide range of diagnostic possibilities.

Purpose: Search of possible criteria of the diagnosis of occupational lung cancer in workers of uranium mines on the basis of the analysis of literary data.
Material and methods: The analysis of literary data with the purpose of allocation of possible criteria and their use for the diagnosis of occupational lung cancer at 6 employees of uranium mines.
Results: The following criteria for the diagnosis of occupationally caused lung cancer at workers of uranium mines are marked out:
•	Total effective dose of radiation exposure is more 200–250 mSv (40–50 WLM).
•	Period in underground conditions is not less than 10 years.
•	Dust content in a workplace is more than 1 mg/m3.
•	Hygienic assessment of working conditions – the 3rd class, 3.2–3.4 degree.
•	The latent period of development of a tumor is not less 10 years.
•	Development of primary and multiple synchronous or metachronous lung cancer.
Also the diagnosis of occupational lung cancer the pulmonary anamnesis (frequent bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis of the smoker) has to be considered.
On the basis of the marked-out criteria documents of 6 employees of uranium mines, at which lung cancer has been revealed, are considered. On the basis of the carried-out analysis at 5 patients relation of a disease with professional activity has been established. One patient was denied this relation.
Conclusion: Authors offer this expert approach to experts’ discussion as above-mentioned criteria is planned to be used by the pathologists who are carrying out observation of workers of uranium production and for the solution of questions of relation of a disease with professional activity of the patient.
Augustan Poets on the Roman-Parthian Treaty of 20 BC
Authors: Babnis Tomasz 
Published: February 2019

From the moment Rome established contacts with the Parthian empire in the 1st century BC, its relations with the eastern neighbour became one of the most important points of Roman foreign policy. Attempts to subjugate Parthia ended in Rome’s crushing defeat at Carrhae in 53 BC. Having taken over power in the Roman Republic, Octavian Augustus became much more active in his oriental policy, wishing to erase the shame brought upon Rome by the defeat. The peace treaty signed in 20 BC was the Emperor’s diplomatic success and was presented as a great triumph by the Roman propaganda. In this paper, I analyse several frag-ments referring to this agreement in the works of the Augustan poets Horace, Propertius and Ovid. The works, written over almost three decades, present this event from various perspectives. On the one hand, they show a strong intermixture of politics and literature, and on the other hand, great talent and artistic skill of the poets writing creatively about issues which were current in Rome at the time.
Teaching Note-Taking to Beginners Using a Digital Pen
Authors: Romano Eleonora 
Published: February 2019

Teaching consecutive interpreting comprises the teaching of many different skills, inter alia note-taking. Translation scholars such as Gile [1983], Matyssek [1989], Andres [2002] and Gillies [2005] have drafted a plethora of manuals, books and articles that suggest different rules, structures, detailed symbols and abbreviations for note-taking.Teachers of consecutive interpreting face the difficulty of analyzing the students’ notes, giving direct feedback and personal advice at class, often with very limited time at their disposal. Orlando [2010; 2015] suggests using digital pen technology in note-taking training to concentrate on the process of note-taking itself in order to observe improvements and strategies needed to acquire this skill. Thanks to this technology, teachers and students can reflect upon the reasons why students noted in a certain way and used a particular structure.This article sets out to describe how this approach has been tested at note-taking classes at Innsbruck University, with particular attention given to the analysis of different aspects of the process. The aim of the article is to demonstrate if a digital pen can be useful in training, what are the main advantages in terms of efficacy of teaching and time efficiency inter alia and if it can be used at the beginning of a note-taking course.
Motivations and barriers to the prolonged use of clothing
Authors: Whitson-Smith Jade 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
With increased awareness of environmental issues, and of ethical consumption, the fashion industry has been trying to address ethical issues in its supply chain, and on consumer behaviour. One approach to reducing the environmental impact of garment consumption is to change the way consumers behave. The prevailing strategies for behaviour change utilized within sustainable fashion have fallen into two categories: the provision of information, such as social media campaigns, and the creation of new garments using design strategies such as ‘design for durability’. However, these strategies are based on assumptions, rather than empirical understanding of what motivates consumer garment use, or the mechanics of behaviour change. This article focuses on one particular environmentally desirable behaviour: wearing garments for longer, and the factors influencing this behaviour. The findings provide insights into where improvements could be made.
A quantitative wardrobe study was undertaken with female consumers in the United Kingdom. The purpose of the study was to explore the motivations and barriers to a selection of environmentally desirable garment-use behaviours, including wearing garments for longer. From this study, behavioural motivations were compiled. The predominant factors motivating prolonged wear were comfort and good fit of garments. The predominant factor acting as a barrier was change in circumstances, which changed consumers’ perceptions of how appropriate garments were for their perceived identity.
The implications of these results are twofold. Changes in personal circumstances are inevitable for all consumers, and something that designers cannot influence. This suggests that alongside promoting prolonged wear, it is critical to guide consumers towards shifting ownership of unworn garments to new users. There is also an opportunity for designers and researchers to further explore comfort and fit of garments, but these factors are highly individualistic, which suggests that mass production may be detrimental to promoting prolonged wear.

Public relations, post-truth society and Trump’s alarming political triumph
Authors: Verbeek Nicolaas 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
In November of 2016, the US elected its first post-truth candidate. In the wake of the turbulent election and media cycle, it is crucial to take stock of the political, cultural and technological developments that brought us to this point. I argue that the rise and success of a candidate such as Donald Trump is an inevitable upshot of a PR-steeped media environment. This article examines recent trends in PR and digital media that have contributed towards a post-truth social and political paradigm in the United States. I identify candidate Trump as the quintessential post-truth candidate, highlight the deleterious effects of exposure to PR-speak on the electorate’s media literacy and discuss the various PR tactics that Trump used to exploit the schismatic fertile ground laid by decades of corporate PR strategy. I consider the dangers of a public inexperienced in critical media evaluation and further fragmented by social media bubbles that promote groupthink and make citizens more susceptible to falsehoods. Further, I address Russia’s recent disinformation campaign that worked to help elect Trump and illustrate how PR strategies originating in advertising are being used not only by political candidates but also by foreign powers seeking to influence US elections. All of these developments related to PR and media technology have corroded national political discourse and culminated in an attack on US democracy in the twenty-first century.
The relationship between knowledge management practices and innovativeness: Insights from petroleum firms in Nigeria
Authors: Bubou Gordon M. , Amadi-Echendu Joe E. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Determinants of firm innovativeness are said to be relatively understudied and little is written about firms from the oil industry within the context of African economies. This article attempts to fill that gap by investigating the impact of endogenous factors, particularly the impact of knowledge management practices (KMP) on the technological innovativeness of petroleum firms in Nigeria. Survey data collected from petroleum firms in Nigeria were used to examine the relationship between their technological innovativeness and the KMP engaged by the firms. Our analyses show that in the context of the study, KMP significantly impact the technological innovativeness of firms. The results were largely consistent with extant research on the role of knowledge management on the innovativeness of firms. Our findings provide valuable insights about knowledge as a strategic resource of the firm. Thus, undertaking the relevant KMP will enhance the technological innovativeness of petroleum firms operating in Nigeria.
Sujeito pronominal expresso e nulo no começo do séc. XXI (e sua relação com o objeto nulo em PB)
Authors: Othero Gabriel de Avila , Spinelli Ana Carolina 
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo, investigamos a ocorrência de sujeitos nulos e pronominais expressos em duas peças teatrais recentes, tendo dois objetivos em mente: (i) dar continuidade, de certa maneira, ao trabalho pioneiro de Duarte (1993, 1995) sobre o preenchimento de sujeitos pronominais em PB; e (ii) aplicar a hipótese do gênero semântico (de Creus & Menuzzi, 2004) à análise, justamente, dos sujeitos pronominais nessas peças. Confirmamos a hipótese antecipada em Duarte (1993, 1995) de que o PB estaria favorecendo o preenchimento de sujeitos pronominais (aproximando-se, portanto, de uma língua -pro-drop). E apontamos para uma direção ainda não investigada na literatura sobre o assunto: os sujeitos pronominais preenchidos preferencialmente retomam (ou se referem a) referentes com gênero semântico expresso, o que sugere que o gênero semântico pode ser, de fato, um traço relevante para o favorecimento do pronome em PB, tanto para o objeto direto anafórico (como mostram alguns trabalhos recentes na literatura), como para o sujeito pronominal (como esboçamos aqui).
Processos fonológicos e escrita ortográfica em produções textuais do ensino fundamental
Authors: Ferreira Adriana Alexandra 
Published: February 2019

Apresentamos neste artigo os resultados preliminares da pesquisa sobre o estudo de processos fonológicos e a escrita ortográfica em produções textuais do Ensino Fundamental. O corpus da pesquisa foi composto por textos de alunos do 6º ano, de uma instituição da rede pública de ensino, participante do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência - PIBID/CAPES, da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - Campus Cascavel. As grafias não convencionais ou "erros" como nomeia a perspectiva tradicional, para o ensino de língua portuguesa, sempre foram motivo de preocupação para os professores que atuam nessa disciplina. Pesquisas que investigam a natureza dos erros de ortografia têm mostrado que alunos, ingressantes do Ensino Fundamental II e até mesmo em séries finais do Ensino Médio, apresentam dúvidas de escrita, que revelam um desconhecimento ou conhecimento parcial das relações existentes entre o sistema fonológico e ortográfico da língua, e suas representações. Por essa, dentre outras razões, buscamos nessa pesquisa analisar as motivações acerca dos processos fonológicos mais recorrentes identificados nas produções escritas, do gênero autobiografia, produzidas no ano letivo de 2017, a fim de contribuir para com o conhecimento de profissionais que já atuam na área, aqueles em processo de formação, e demais pesquisadores.
Planificação e manutenção linguística
Authors: Costa Lucivaldo Silva da , Barboza Tereza Maracaipe , Tavares Quelvia Souza 
Published: February 2019

Neste estudo, descrevemos os processos mobilizados na confecção do sistema de escrita da língua Xikrín do Cateté e de um livro para auxiliar no processo de alfabetização e letramento dos falantes que estudam nas escolas das aldeias. Estas ações de planificação linguística objetivam a manutenção da língua e da cultura Xikrín do Cateté. Este povo fala uma variedade da língua Kayapó, pertencente à família Jê, Tronco Macro-Jê (Rodrigues 1986, 1999). Atualmente, vive em três aldeias, Cateté, maior e mais antiga, com aproximadamente 900 habitantes, Djudjêkô, com aproximadamente 500 habitantes, fica a 18 km da aldeia Cateté e Ô'odjãm, a mais recente e menor, com população estimada em 150 pessoas, está localizada à margem esquerda do rio Cateté. A escassez de material didático na língua indígena está, em certa medida, condicionada a não existência de um sistema de escrita para a língua Xikrín. A construção de tal sistema pode possibilitar a criação de literatura em língua indígena para garantir um ensino bilíngue, diferenciado e específico, que fortaleça sua língua e sua cultura milenar. É válido ressaltar, ainda, que o sistema de escrita aqui proposto está ancorado em critérios fonológicos sem, no entanto, desconsiderar critérios políticos que respeitem a autonomia dos Xikrín na escolha dos símbolos representativos dos fonemas existentes em sua língua.
Result linking adverbials in learner corpora
Authors: Dutra Deise Prina , Orfanó Bárbara Malveira , Almeida Valdenia Carvalho 
Published: February 2019

This article aims to present an investigation of the use of the following linking adverbials: so, therefore, and thus in essay writing of Brazilian university students. Few corpora-based studies have been carried out on the use of cohesive devices in the written production of Brazilian university students in comparison to the writing of American and British university students. It is worth mentioning Matte and Sarmento (2018) and Dutra et al. (2017) who identified differences among the groups concerning the use of additive linking adverbials. The present study compares the occurrences of result linking adverbials in the Corpus of English for Academic Purposes (CorIFA), in the Corpus of English Without Borders (CorIsF), and in the Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays (LOCNESS). The linking adverbials were identified by using AntConc 3.4.4 (ANTHONY, 2016). The concordance lines generated by the program were analyzed, and the linking adverbials were classified according to their meaning and syntactic position. Then, the data were submitted to the statistical log-likelihood test and the overuse, and underuse of items were studied across the dataset. The results indicate differences mainly concerning syntactic position and meaning of the linking adverbials. Analyzing these differences is instrumental as it may contribute to a better understanding of Brazilian learners’ written academic discourse and, in turn, it can assist language educators and material designers who work with to the teaching of English for Academic Purposes.
Devious Maids
Authors: Cavalcanti Larissa de Pinho 
Published: February 2019

Nosso trabalho investiga a natureza das representações sociais sobre mulheres latinas na série Devious Maids, para verificar se há ruptura com a história de papéis estereotipados e marcados por inferioridade social e cultural. De uma perspectiva multimodal, a análise dos processos contextuais e simbólicos foi centrada nos macro e microtemas que compunham as representações sociais emergentes nas biografias das protagonistas e na narrativa da série. Limitados aqui à análise simbólica para investigação ideológica das representações sociais, consideramos o modo orquestrador de filmagem e os modos contribuintes de som, de ação dramática, fala e imagem como vetores. O estudo verificou que as representações são fruto de posicionamentos ideológicos muitas vezes contraditórios e sempre implícitos, orientados para empoderar ou subjugar grupos sociais e seus membros - o que torna urgente seu estudo em produtos midiáticos, cujo público consumidor se torna cada vez mais intangível no mundo globalizado.

History of disruptions in laboratory medicine: what have we learned from predictions?
Authors: Kricka Larry J. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Predictions about the future of laboratory medicine have had a mixed success, and in some instances they have been overambitious and incorrectly assessed the future impact of emerging technologies. Current predictions suggest a more highly automated and connected future for diagnostic testing. The central laboratory of the future may be dominated by more robotics and more connectivity in order to take advantage of the benefits of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems (e.g. decision support software and imaging analytics). For point-of-care testing, mobile health (mHealth) may be in the ascendancy driven by healthcare initiatives from technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Uber.
