Training teachers for English Medium Instruction: lessons from research on second language listening comprehension
Authors: Martín del Pozo María Ángeles 
Published: July 2017

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and EMI (English Medium Instruction) practices have outpaced theory and teacher training. There is a need to provide answers to some of the key issues such as the language requirements. This paper aims to show that knowledge from English for Specific Purposes and English for Academic Purposes, fields which have provided effective teaching practices and materials, could now be used in CLIL/EMI. The paper focuses on two of these. First, the issues related to second language academic listening comprehension and, secondly, the findings from research on it and their implications for student / lecturer training and materials design. These implications and suggestions are summarized. The paper concludes providing some language learning resources originally targeted to students but which could become tools for (self) training of those teachers who need to update their language skills for CLIL.<p> </p>
Competencia traductora y recursos informáticos: por qué las tecnologías no sustituyen la formación en traducción
Authors: Piccioni Sara , Pontrandolfo Gianluca 
Published: July 2017

<p>El artículo presenta los resultados de un experimento realizado en las Universidades de Trieste y de Chieti (Italia) orientado a estudiar la relación entre competencia traductora y el uso de recursos informáticos. Para llevar a cabo el presente estudio se ha contado con la participación de dos grupos de estudiantes: uno especializado en Traducción (Trieste) y otro con limitada formación en Traducción (Chieti). Ambos realizaron una prueba de traducción directa y otra de traducción inversa, y contestaron un cuestionario final sobre el razonamiento seguido para resolver algunos puntos problemáticos planteados en las traducciones. Los resultados sugieren algunas tendencias significativas relativas al proceso de toma de decisiones, y a la relación entre calidad de la traducción y los recursos empleados para realizar dicha traducción. En particular, se ha observado que el uso de recursos informáticos no compensa ni la diferencia de nivel en las competencias lingüísticas y conocimientos especializados ni la menor formación en traducción por parte del segundo grupo. El artículo concluye con algunas consideraciones didácticas para aportar posibles soluciones en las áreas más problemáticas que se identificaron durante el experimento.</p><p> </p>
Généralités syntaxiques des titres sportifs dans des journaux en ligne
Authors: Quintero-Ramírez Sara 
Published: July 2017

Dans cet article, nous nous proposons d’exposer les traits syntaxiques les plus caractéristiques des titres sportifs de six journaux dans leur version électronique. Pour ce faire, nous analysons un corpus de 300 titres de six journaux : Le Monde, Le Figaro, La Croix, L’Équipe, Sport.fr et Compétition. Tous les titres ont été tirés du mois de juin 2014. En tenant compte des études antérieures sur les titres de presse (Mouillaud, 1982 ; Vinet, 1993 ; Furet, 1995 ; Engel, 2000 ; Abouda, 2001 ; Tahar, 2012), nous analysons, d’abord, si les titres sont rédigés sous forme de construction verbale, de syntagme nominal (SN), de syntagme prépositionnel (SP) ou autre. Ensuite, nous déterminons la disposition la plus fréquente selon laquelle sont organisés les différents éléments linguistiques caractéristiques des titres. Enfin, nous observons si le titreur a fait des ellipses.
Midluteal Serum Estrogen and Progesterone Levels predict Pregnancy Rate in in vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles: A Prospective Study
Authors: Shankar Kundavi , Nigam Shipra , Joy Indumathi , Varma Thankam R 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTIntroductionIn assisted reproduction technique cycles, controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) leads to supraphysiological levels of steroid hormone secretion and the subsequent need for luteal phase support (LPS). Therefore, existing data on the steroid secretion profile in the luteal phase of spontaneous conception cycles and its predictive value for pregnancy outcome need to be discussed against the background of preceding COS. The clinical significance of luteal phase hormones, such as estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4), in predicting pregnancy after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols forin vitrofertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is still poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of midluteal serum E2 and P4 level in predicting successful pregnancy in patients undergoing IVF/ICSI.Materials and methodsOne hundred fifteen women were recruited for the study. They were given gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was administered if at least three follicles were more than 18 mm in size. Transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval followed by ICSI and embryo transfer (ET) was done. Post-ET, all women had same LPS. The E2 and P4 measurements were done at day of ET (day 0) and 9 days post-ET (day 9). Levels of E2 and P4 were compared between those who subsequently became pregnant and those who could not achieve pregnancy. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.ResultsForty-six (40%) achieved pregnancy. The E2 and P4 levels on day 9 were significantly higher in those who achieved pregnancy (p < 0.01). Out of 46 pregnancies, 38 were ongoing viable pregnancies.ConclusionLuteal phase E2 and P4 can be used as prognostic marker to predict pregnancy in IVF/ICSI cycles.How to cite this articleNigam S, Joy I, Shankar K, Varma TR.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTPurposeTo evaluate clinically suspected cases of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) for Doppler study of uterine artery, umbilical artery, and fetal middle cerebral artery. To compare the various indices of the three vessels in predicting perinatal outcome. To evaluate the positive predictive value among these parameters. To compare the Doppler findings with fetal outcome.Materials and methodsOne hundred and two singleton pregnancies complicated by IUGR and severe preeclampsia or both were prospectively examined with Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and umbilical vein which were compared with 104 uncomplicated pregnancies that formed the control group.Observation and ResultsOne hundred and two singleton pregnancies included in the study population had at least one major or minor adverse outcome. Major adverse outcome criteria included perinatal deaths — including intrauterine and early neonatal deaths, etc. Minor outcomes included cesarean delivery for fetal distress, APGAR score below 7 at 5 minutes, and admission to neonatal intensive care unit for treatment.ConclusionLow diastolic and high indices characterize the pregnancies with abnormal outcomes. The uterine artery had a better sensitivity and specificity as compared with the umbilical arteries and diastolic notch had the highest sensitivity and specificity. Doppler also provides a noninvasive method of assessing the fetal and maternal circulation during pregnancy.How to cite this articleKumar V, Sharma G, Khan S, Singhania A, Singhania S.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTCongenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental lung abnormality. It is also referred as a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. The exact etiology is not known yet. The majority of cases are detected during targeted prenatal scan or within 2 years of the birth. Here, we report a case of CPAM type II diagnosed at 23 weeks of gestation, the key diagnostic features of which were mediastinal shift and lung lesion. The fetus had transient polyhydramnios and pericardial effusion. Glucocorticoids were administered for threatened preterm labor and CPAM. Healthy neonate was delivered at term without any immediate neonatal complications.How to cite this articleBhat SK, Nambiar R, Nayak D, Shah KH.

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2177-7055.2017v38n75p157O artigo explora questões relativas à interface entre contratos internacionais eletrônicos e direito internacional privado. Na atualidade, graças à internet, relações comerciais transfronteiriças que poderiam ser impensáveis se tornam possíveis. Contudo, pelas próprias especificidades da internet, contratos contendo elementos de conexão trazem dúvidas quanto à determinação da lei aplicável ou mesmo quanto à validade e à compreensão de sua formação, dentre outras. Diferentemente da extensa agenda normativa estabelecida pela Comissão das Nações Unidas para o Direito do Comércio Internacional sobre o tema, o Brasil necessita avaliar as iniciativas existentes e projetar soluções necessárias para a garantia da segurança jurídica nesse campo.
A teoria da ponderação de princípios na encruzilhada do decisionismo judicial: limita-me ou te devoro!
Authors: Da Silva Cristóvam José Sérgio 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2177-7055.2017v38n75p219O artigo aborda a teoria da ponderação de princípios, com base nos contornos traçados pelo neoconstitucionalismo. O modelo ponderacionista tem sofrido críticas sólidas e abalizadas, na medida em que submete o discurso judicial a um profundo deficit de legitimidade e de racionalidade, abrindo caminho para uma clara usurpação da autoridade legislativa por um modelo teórico que permite o império do decisionismo subjetivo e do moralismo judicial. Isso conduz à necessidade de se estabelecerem limites procedimentais e materiais capazes de assegurar a racional aplicação do sistema, essencial fator de legitimação e justificação das decisões sobre conflitos entre princípios e interesses.
Algumas reflexões críticas sobre a tese da “abstrativização” do controle concreto de constitucionalidade no Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF)

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2177-7055.2017v38n75p79A questão da eficácia das decisões judiciais em sistemas complexos de controle de constitucionalidade, como o brasileiro, é premente. Nem todos os aspectos relevantes relativos à eficácia das decisões da suprema corte brasileira são pacíficos, como questões correlatas à amplitude, entre outras questões. O presente artigo explora a discussão acerca da tese da “abstrativização” da jurisdição do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) no controle concreto de constitucionalidade. A partir de um resgate do desenvolvimento histórico do controle brasileiro de constitucionalidade, o artigo procura examinar criticamente as teses sustentadas por alguns Ministros do STF especialmente por ocasião do julgamento da Reclamação n. 4.335/AC. Ao final busca-se demonstrar que é plausível sustentar que a tese referida encontra, ao que parece, alguns limites no Direito Constitucional positivo brasileiro, sendo admissível apenas mediante uma reforma constitucional formal.
A comparison of the discrete cosine and wavelet transforms for hydrologic model input data reduction
Authors: Wright Ashley , Walker Jeffrey P. , Robertson David E. , Pauwels Valentijn R. N. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract. The treatment of input data uncertainty in hydrologic models is of crucial importance in the analysis, diagnosis and detection of model structural errors. Data reduction techniques decrease the dimensionality of input data, thus allowing modern parameter estimation algorithms to more efficiently estimate errors associated with input uncertainty and model structure. The discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are used to reduce the dimensionality of observed rainfall time series for the 438 catchments in the Model Parameter Estimation Experiment (MOPEX) data set. The rainfall time signals are then reconstructed and compared to the observed hyetographs using standard simulation performance summary metrics and descriptive statistics. The results convincingly demonstrate that the DWT is superior to the DCT in preserving and characterizing the observed rainfall data records. It is recommended that the DWT be used for model input data reduction in hydrology in preference over the DCT.

Published: July 2017

Birds are important indicators to determine the quality of habitat. They played an important role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. This study aims to determine the species of birds and its diversity within the Central Mindanao University main campus. A line transect method combined with bird watching technique were used within the two month avian survey. A total of 27 species belonging to 21 families were recorded namely, Accipitridae, Alcedinidae, Apodidae, Ardeidae, Artamidae, Bucesotidae, Campephagidae, Columbidae, Corvidae, Dicaeidae, Estrildidae, Hirundiniidae, Laniidae, Meropidae, Nectariniidae, Phasianidae, Pycnonotidae, Sturnidae and Sylviidae. Out of the 27 bird species observed, 18 resident, 3 resident-migrant, 5 Philippine endemic and 1 island endemic. The most observed species are Euarasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) and followed by an introduced species which was Feral Pigeon (Columba livia). Most of the species observed were commonly found in urban communities, agroecosystem and along the forest edge. Some species of birds belonging to family Nictariniidae and Dicaeidae are associated in areas with flowering trees and there are seldom observed in other points. The average diversity of all points H’= 0.94 which is quiet low and it requires more sampling effort and other technique to record silent or shy species.
Making and Receiving: Possibilities for Middle School General Music
Authors: Cronenberg Stephanie 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
For many music teachers faced with developing a middle school general music class, the possibilities for both musical content and pedagogical implementation may seem endless. The experiences and preparation of teachers who teach this class and the students who enroll necessarily impact the teaching and learning that occurs; yet, many teachers have complete autonomy when developing this learning experience. Through lived and told narratives of experience, this article explores the perspectives and teaching practices of two music teachers who conceptualize musical learning in middle school general music differently. Utilizing a dialectic perspective, the views of these two teachers are placed in dialogue each other and with the practices of the researcher in order to examine an important issue in music education: making and receiving or developing artistic performance skills and aesthetic perception abilities. The discussion of these two teachers’ practices demonstrates the need for continued and ongoing discussion between music educators with differing views, a dialogue with potential to strengthen the purposes and content of general music for middle school students.
Attica Means Fight Back: History and Storytelling as Resistance
Authors: McGuire Danielle L. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In his presidential address for the 2012 American Historical Association, Bill Cronon argued that the core business of historians is “resurrection.” Our job, he said, is to breathe life into the “dead past” and make it live again. There is no worse crime, he said, “than to make it forgettable.” Heather Ann Thompson’s brilliant and beautifully rendered book Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising and Its Legacy offers us, among other things, a blueprint of how to write powerful narrative nonfiction with explanatory force that brings the past to life and does real work in the present.
Mining Mind and Body: Approaches and Considerations for Using Topic Modeling to Identify Discourses in Digitized Publications
Authors: Regan Amanda 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Historians in the twenty-first century are faced with an abundance of digitized material. Large-scale scanning efforts have made millions of textual primary sources available to historians at the click of a mouse. This paper discusses using topic modeling, a probability algorithm, to extract themes and discourses in large corpuses of digitized text. Mind and Body, a monthly publication about physical education, which ran from 1894 until 1936, was often at the very center of developments in the field of physical education. Major developments such as professionalization; the battle between the American, German, and Swedish exercise systems; and shifts in ideas about the role of exercise in American life were discussed and debated within the pages of Mind and Body. Applying distant-reading methodologies to such a central text aids scholars in identifying themes, discourses, and points for further examination.
Tweet Out? Twitter, Archived Data, and the Social Memory of Out LGBT Athletes
Authors: Osmond Gary 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The allure of Twitter data for historical analysis is heady. The volume of tweeted posts since the microblogging service was launched in 2006 represents a wealth of recent historical data as well as a deep pool of social memory offering insight into how the past circulates in the present. This article considers the promise, possibilities, and problems of accessing and analyzing Twitter data. To help illuminate the broader issues of method and methodology, a case study is used: the social memory on Twitter of the prominent Australian LGBT athlete Ian Roberts, who came out as gay in 1995, especially the ways he is evoked when other athletes come out. Via this selective emphasis, this article questions the viability for sport historians to investigate Twitter data.

Clinical Evaluation of the Use of Mini-Implants to Replace Congenitally Absent Maxillary Lateral Incisors: A Short-Term Study
Authors: Alharissy Muhammad , Dayoub Suleiman 
Published: July 2017

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of immediately restored mini-implants with a diameter of 2.5 mm one year after their use for rehabilitation of congenitally absent maxillary lateral incisors.
Methodology: A total of 30 mini-implants (narrow ridge 2.5) were inserted in 23 patients (13 females, 10 males) with a mean age of 21.6 years (range: 16–38 years) at the implant center of Damascus University. The implants replaced congenitally absent maxillary lateral incisors. All implants were immediately restored with a non-functional provisional acrylic crown. The abutment part of the implant was prepared before crown cementation. The ceramic permanent crown was placed after three months. A health implant scale was chosen to evaluate implant success. A periapical standard X-ray was taken immediately upon bonding of the temporary crown as well as after one year of loading. Proximate bone loss was measured using Canvas 9 (ACD, 2004).
Results: No implant was lost; thus, the one-year implant survival was 100%. Optimal survival was 93.6%. A statistically significant mean marginal bone loss was observed between baseline and 12 months (mesial: 1.06 ± 0.55 mm; distal: 1.05 ± 0.53 mm).
Conclusion: A high one-year survival rate was documented for management of congenital missing maxillary lateral incisors using immediately loaded mini-implants, and these implants therefore provide a good alternative treatment option.

Social Determinants of Entrepreneurial Attitudes
Authors: Mularska‑Kucharek Monika 
Published: July 2017

The important factors, both economic and non‑economic ones, responsible
for creating and strengthening entrepreneurial attitudes include those of a social
nature. The article aims at exploring the social determinants of entrepreneurial
attitudes including socio‑demographic variables, and the ones associated with
socialization, which are important mechanisms conditioning entrepreneurship.
The paper assesses the potential of entrepreneurial attitudes among Poles. The
empirical basis of the presented analysis is the nationwide survey carried out by
the Public Opinion Research Center on behalf of the University of Lodz as part of
the grant entitled “Entrepreneurship of Poles – social and spatial aspect”.
