A Case Study of Two College Students’ Reading Strategies and Their Writing Styles
Authors: Li Zhanfang 
Published: February 2018

<p>The importance of integrating reading and writing has aroused many people’s interest, and how to bridge the gap between input (reading) and output (writing) is regarded as an urgent necessity. However, input does not equal to intake, and to achieve the stage of intake, the reader’s conscious attention to the input is necessary, which is commonly realized in the reading process, either by intensive reading (focus-on-form) or extensive reading (focus-on-meaning). Previous studies put more emphasis on extensive reading, while this study is based on the assumed different effects of reading strategies upon writing styles, that is, intensive reading may guarantee accurate writing and extensive reading may promote fluent writing. Therefore the relationship between two college students’ reading strategies and writing styles is the focus of this study. The research lasts for 16 months (August, 2014 - December, 2015), during which all their journal writing pieces, their term papers, together with their compositions in the final exams, are used as the written data, while materials concerned with their reading strategies are collected by a questionnaire, two interviews, as well as their written self-reflections. Results show that extensive reading with a subconscious focus-on-meaning tends to enhance the fluency of writing while intensive reading with a conscious focus-on-form is more likely to promote the writing accuracy. Findings suggest that production is based on intake, which is the result of either the subconscious or conscious attention to both the language meaning and language form. </p>
Humanistic Antidotes to Social Media/Cell Phone Addiction in the College Classroom
Authors: Benjamin Elliot 
Published: February 2018

<p>This article describes “humanistic antidotes” to offset the widespread social media/cell phone addiction prevalent in current US college classrooms. The inappropriate use of cell phones to engage in social media in college classrooms is a pervasive problem that many college instructors have complained about. The dominant focus of this article is in humanistic education, in which the author's efforts at getting psychology college students to put away their cell phones, “talk with each other,” and gain awareness of the detrimental effects of social media addiction and narcissism is illustrated. The methodology utilized in this article is based upon autoethnographic research, where relevant experiences of the researcher are considered to be an informative and fundamental part of the research. The author describes in narrative form his relevant experiences in formulating humanistic antidotes to the excessive and inappropriate use of cell phones to engage in social media, that he encountered in his college psychology teaching. These humanistic antidotes are described as a three-step process: 1) take necessary actions to eliminate as much as possible the inappropriate use of cell phones in the classroom; 2) engage students in required personal/academic small group discussions every class period; 3) include small discussions about the excessive and inappropriate use of cell phones and social media, and require them to write and present project papers of their own choosing, which will likely include some papers on the topic of cell phone/social media addiction, demonstrating their awareness of the detrimental aspects of this pervasive problem.</p>

Greek Statues, Roman Cults and European Aristocracy: Examining the Progression of Ancient Sculpture Interpretation
Authors: Lusher Andrew 
Published: February 2018

<p>In 1747 Frederick II of Prussia acquired a rare and highly valuable statue from antiquity and gave it the description of Antinous (the ill-fated lover of the Roman Emperor Hadrian). Although the bronze statue had always been accepted as an original from ancient Greece, the statue eventually assumed the identity of the Roman Antinous. How could Frederick II, an accomplished collector, ignore the blatant style and chronological discrepancies to interpret a Greek statue as a later Roman deity? This article will use the portraiture of Antinous to facilitate an examination of the progression of classical art interpretation and diagnose the freedom between the art historian and the dilettante. It will expose the necessary partition between the obligations of the art historian to provide technical interpretations of a work within the purview of the discipline with that of the unique interpretation made by individual viewers. This article confirms that although Frederick II lived before the transformative scholarship of Winckelmann, the freedom of interpreting a work is an abiding and intrinsic right of every individual viewer. </p>

Anatomy of Gaudi's Curve Architectural Language
Authors: Liu Jingjing 
Published: February 2018

<p>Gaudi was a unique architectural designer at the aspect of architectural design in Art Nouveau. His architectural design has a unique line design, including the external shape curve of Casa Mila being representative. The external shape design of Casa Mila had subverted the external design of traditional architectures. The wave shape of its vertical wall had broken the contemporary traditional aesthetic consciousness of architectures. Thus, the reasons and effects for the curved shape in the external shape design of Casa Mila showing incisively and vividly how subversive and disruptive Casa Mila being are the source of studying its external curve design. During the same period, many architectural designs were also applied to curves in the external shape of the buildings. Therefore, the external shape of curves on Casa Mila is how its architectural design curves standing out are contrasted by curve design applied to other contemporaneous architectures in the period of Art Nouveau. The view of this paper expounds the reason that the curvilinear design of Casa Mila is different from that of other architectures, and the influence of the curvilinear design of Casa Mila in the period of Art Nouveau. This paper starts with the analysis of the architectural curve of Casa Mila. By comparative analysis of curve profile and its curvature in external modeling of "House of the People" and Tassel Hotel, this paper reveals that Gaudi's architectural features have an unique external modeling and conveys that the architectural curve of external shape more abounds in using natural elements of imitation.</p>
Facilitating Public Access to the Arts: Applying the Motivation, Opportunity, and Ability Framework to the Case of the UK Royal Opera House
Authors: Yoon Hyunsun Catherine 
Published: February 2018

<p>In recent years, arts organizations in the UK have faced challenging times due to severe funding cuts from government and depressed box office sales during the recession. In the UK’s current cultural policy, ‘social impacts’ of the arts are highly emphasized and state interventions are intensified both in terms of finance and legitimacy. What is necessary for arts organizations to produce social impacts is their active provision of ‘deliberate extra activities’, which are generally conducted in the form of education, community, participation or outreach programs. The Royal Opera House (ROH) case study provides an apt example of how to exercise these activities effectively to deliver social impacts. Based on Rothchild’s theoretical Motivation, Opportunity, and Ability (MOA) framework, this study aims to find out how the UK Royal Opera House stimulated motivation among arts audiences and facilitated opportunities for them, thereby allowed them to translate motivation into action. The results show that the ROH implemented several specific strategies: ‘interest triggerings,’ ‘value creation and transmission,’ relationship building and management,’ and education. These strategies can motivate potential arts consumers to be familiar with classic arts, which lowers psychological barriers and stimulates intrinsic motivation to satisfy long-lasting and self-sustaining cultural needs. </p>

Authors: Muhamad Maizatulliza , Kiely Richard 
Published: February 2018

<p>In communicative language teaching classrooms, one of the main emphases is on students’ ability to use the target language for real life purposes. To achieve this goal, teachers may have to ensure that students have adequate vocabulary to express their feelings and ideas. Previous research on vocabulary teaching and learning tends to be quantitative in nature focusing on testing the effectiveness of some techniques. This research study however, is an attempt to understand teachers’ pedagogical systems that influence their practice in actual classroom interactions during vocabulary teaching and learning. In-depth interviews and classroom observations with two experienced Malaysian ESL teachers were conducted. The interviews highlighted the teachers’ beliefs as well as challenges they faced with regards to vocabulary teaching and learning. The classroom observations revealed that their practice was very much a reflection of their own beliefs, based on their own experience as students as well as teachers. The results of this study showcased the fact that teachers operate within the spectrum of their pedagogical knowledge. </p>

Considerando a necessidade de monitoramento das águas subterrâneas utilizadas para o consumo humano, este estudo avaliou a qualidade da água de poços artesianos rurais, localizados no Assentamento Pedro Ramalho, Mundo Novo, Mato Grosso do Sul. Amostras de água foram obtidas em janeiro/2012 e setembro/2013, em dois poços artesianos. Foram determinados parâmetros físico-químicos (alumínio, cobre, cor, cloreto, cromo total, ferro, fluoreto, manganês, nitrito, pH, sólidos dissolvidos totais, sulfato e zinco) e microbiológico (NMP de coliformes totais e de coliformes termotolerantes, bactérias heterotróficas e Escherichia coli) para os dois poços. Os valores registrados para cada parâmetro foram confrontados com os limites estabelecidos pela legislação brasileira. Apenas a água do Poço 1 apresentou valores de pH inferiores ao estabelecido pela Portaria no 2914/2011 e valores de manganês acima do valor máximo permitido pela Resolução CONAMA nº 396. Os demais parâmetros atenderam os valores limites preconizados pelas legislações. Os resultados apresentados evidenciam a necessidade de monitoramento continuo da água dos poços artesianos do Assentamento Pedro Ramalho, uma vez que foram registradas irregularidades que inspiram preocupações à saúde pública dos moradores.

Authors: Nascimento Maria Isabel Moura , Zanlorenzi Claudia Maria Petchack 
Published: February 2018

Este artigo buscou identificar a expressão das condições materiais do Paraná no início do século XX na revista A Escola, que foi veículo para a disseminação das ideias liberais apresentadas em suas folhas e reproduzidas aos professores das escolas públicas do Estado. Este veículo de comunicação aponta para as contradições de uma sociedade que se consolidava no capitalismo e, para tanto, havia a necessidade de assegurar a sua perpetuação, por meio da ideologia e seus princípios, angariando assim adeptos para a sua manutenção. Trata, especificamente, sobre o I Congresso de Professores Públicos do Paraná, o qual foi promovido pelos articulistas da revista e amplamente divulgado pela mesma. No evento foram debatidas nove teses previamente proposta por seu grupo idealizador. A partir da análise das teses, verificou-se que a de número seis foi considerada como a principal e que retrata com mais ênfase o princípio liberal de universalidade.

Authors: Miguel Lucas Lavo Antonio Jimo , Castro João Wagner Alencar 
Published: February 2018

A dinâmica geomorfológica do sistema laguna - barreira da costa sul de Moçambique - África, reflete a interação entre o regime de marés, regime de ventos, precipitação pluviométrica e suprimento de sedimentos, ocorrida durante sucessivas variações do nível relativo do mar durante o Holoceno. Objetiva-se estudar os condicionantes geomorfológicos do sistema laguna-barreira de Bilene no sul de Moçambique, a partir dos padrões climáticos regionais e dinâmica sedimentar eólica. Analisou-se informações de precipitação pluviométrica de 52 anos, regime de ventos de 37 anos, registros de temperatura do atmosférica de 56 anos, mapa geológico na escala de 1:50.000, complementadas por um programa de monitoramento de movimentação de dunas transgressivas entre janeiro de 2016 e janeiro de 2017. Dados obtidos sugerem que as dunas costeiras associadas ao sistema laguna - barreira da área de estudo, são controladas principalmente pelo regime de vento, com taxa de migração de 23 m/ano. A taxa de transporte de sedimento eólico proveniente de SSW, S e SSE foi estimada em 1,4 kg/m/s.O índice de mobilidade dos sedimentos eólicos com ausência ou presença de vegetação, encontra-se na faixa entre 50 e 200 conforme índice pluviométrico regional de 1600 mm/ano, resultando em 70% de cobertura vegetal sobre os campos de dunas do sistema laguna-barreira estudado. A atuação persistente desses fatores climáticos e sucessivas variações do nível relativo do mar durante o Holoceno combinadas ao alto suprimento de sedimentos, definiram o campo de dunas transgressivos associados a um sistema laguna-barreira de Bilene, costa sul de Moçambique.
