Exploring a South-South Dialogue: Spanish American Reception of Rabindranath Tagore
Authors: Bhattacharya Nilanjana 
Published: March 2017

This article concentrates on Rabindranath’s reception in a few Latin American countries. In the history of Latin America, early twentieth century was a crucial time when various Latin American countries were striving to come out of Europe’s grasp and establish an identity of their own. Yet, in the multifarious and multiracial society of Latin America it was difficult to define their ‘own’. At such a critical juncture of history, Rabindranath represented an alternative to various Latin American authors. He was, to them, a representative of a British colony who had been recognised and acknowledged by Europe, and thus symbolized a power/knowledge equivalent to that of Europe. This paper, divided in three parts, explores this reception and its impact, firstly by analyzing the history of the direct contact; then by focusing on the Latin American translations of Rabindranath’s works; and finally, by re-reading a few essays and critical-writings on Rabindranath. Among others, the paper alludes to Victoria Ocampo (1890-1979), the first and perhaps the only Latin American author who came in direct contact with Rabindranath; and some of the most important Nobel Laureates of Latin America, like Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) and Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), to show how these authors and poets received Rabindranath in their own contexts. Este artículo se concentra en la recepción de Rabindranath Tagore en algunos países de América Latina. En la historia de este continente, los primeros años del siglo XX fueron cruciales, porque muchos países de América Latina estaban esforzándose por destruir el control de Europa y establecer una identidad propia. Sin embargo, era difícil definir “lo propio” en una sociedad tan múltiple y multirracial. En un momento tan complejo de la historia, Tagore personificaba una alternativa para algunos autores de América Latina. Él era como un representante del “tercer mundo” que había ganado el reconocimiento de Europa, de los colonizadores; por tal motivo, su poder/sabiduría era tan fuerte como el de los británicos. Este artículo, dividido en tres partes, busca primero explorar la historia del contacto directo entre el poeta hindú y algunos escritores latinoamericanos; segundo, analizar varias traducciones de las obras de Tagore, hechas por latinoamericanos; y, finalmente, discutir unos ensayos y textos críticos realizados por estudiosos de América Latina sobre Tagore. El artículo se centra en Victoria Ocampo (1890-1979), la única autora del mundo hispano con quien Tagore tenía un contacto directo, y también en poetas de nombre mundial como Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) y Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), para explicar cómo ellos recibieron a Tagore.
Referencias y equivalencias del pronombre on francés en el español
Authors: Yao Koffi 
Published: March 2017

Los errores causados por la dificultad de aprehender los contrastes entre el pronombre indefinido francés on y sus equivalencias en español durante el aprendizaje-enseñanza de alumnos francófonos constituye el objeto principal de este estudio. Se proponen otros recursos teóricos frente a criterios convencionales formulados en los manuales clásicos de gramática. Asimismo, se comprueba que el estudio fragmentado del on, restringido a enunciados aislados, resulta útil pero muy limitado para determinar las propiedades gramaticales de focalización referencial, que permiten, a su vez, establecer las correspondientes equivalencias en español. En consecuencia, siguiendo una perspectiva contrastiva basada en la experiencia bilingüe francés-español en la enseñanza, se examina dicho pronombre en el marco de la pragmática como recurso teórico (aplicado al análisis de un corpus recogido en actos comunicativos entre españoles y otros extraídos de algunos manuales de gramática) que ha probado su eficiencia mediante resultados muy concluyentes. The errors carried out by the contrast between the French indefinite on and its correspondences in Spanish in teaching and learning process is the main object of this study, in which other theoretical means are submitted against convencional criteria in classical grammar books. Likewise, it’s noticed that the restrictive analysis of this pronoun reduced to isolated sentences is useful but show limits to determine gramatical properties of referencial focus that allow the representation of the correspondent equivalences in Spanish. Consequently, on the base of contrastive approach on bilingual French and Spanish teaching, this study proposes the criteria of pragmatic analysis, applying this theoretical mean to analyse a corpus registered in communicative acts and some grammar books, with efficiency and conclusive results.

Published: March 2017

La tarea del traductor comprende ciertos aspectos que, si bien no corresponden al ámbito de la traducción propiamente dicha, se relacionan de manera sustantiva con ella. Entre estas tareas figura la investigación bibliográfica, destinada a localizar las fuentes primarias y a corregir los (a veces numerosos) errores que inevitablemente contiene cualquier texto. El traductor confiere así a su trabajo una importante plusvalía, que marca una diferencia decisiva entre su traducción y la de otros traductores que conciben esta operación como la simple búsqueda de equivalencias lingüísticas. Para ilustrar esta afirmación, analizaremos la traducción de una obra de arqueología y otra de sociología, a fin de demostrar que todo traductor puede convertirse en un investigador que se da a la apasionantetarea de descubrir las mil y una realidades inesperadas que se ocultan detrás de las palabras. The task of a translator comprises certain aspects that are related to it in a substantial way, though not properly corresponding to the field of translation. Among these aspects bibliographical research is found to set up the primary sources and to correct the (many times numerous) errors, which unavoidably exist in any text. Thus, a significant value gain is conferred to the translator’s work, providing a decisive contrast with other translators who conceive translation as the mere search of linguistic equivalents. In order to illustrate this assertion, let us analyze two translations, a work on archeology and another one on sociology, to demonstrate that every translator can become a researcher devoted to the passionate task of discovering the numerous unexpected realities hidden behind words.
The Role of Energy in Development
Authors: Lloyd Philip J. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractUsing World Bank Development Indicators, it is shown that the use of energy is strongly related to almost every conceivable aspect of development. Wealth, health, nutrition, water, infrastructure, education, even life expectancy itself, are strongly and significantly related to the consumption of energy per capita. In general, the approach taken was to break the consumption of energy into three or more classes, to calculate the average value of the relevant indicator in each class, and to demonstrate that the average value in one class was statistically different, at above the 95% confidence level, from the average in adjacent classes. In the case of life expectancy, the change in expectancy was tracked against energy consumption over 40 or more years, in India, China, Indonesia and Brazil. It is concluded that energy is such a necessary element in development that it should be seen as a basic right. The impact of energy on development is felt strongly up to about 2 000 kg oil equivalent per capita, and is essentially saturated above that level. The data are qualitatively assessed using the environmental Kuznets curve. The OECD nations appear to have peaked, and emissions may continue to drop for the foreseeable future. However, emissions from the non-OECD nations have surged in this millennium, and are likely to exceed 40 000 Mt CO2 per annum before slowing. In this light, the intent of the Paris Agreement to constrain global temperature rise to less than 1.5 °C, seems unrealistic. Any hopes of reducing carbon dioxide emissions significantly, in the face of development by the developing nations, seems doomed to failure. Keywords: development, World Bank Indicators, life expectancy, future emissionsHighlights• Many development indicators are strongly related to the per-capita energy consumption.• The impacts of increasing energy on development continues up to about 2000 kg oil equivalent per capita per year.• Over the past 50 years, increases in per-capita energy consumption correlate strongly with increases in life expectancy. • If all developing nations strive for 2000 kg per capita per year energy consumption, CO2 emissions will continue to rise.

Background: Depression is very common among higher secondary school students. This study is to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms in higher secondary school students in a boarding school of North Kerala; to identify associated risk factors; to compare the prevalence depression between those attending and not attending additional tuition class for competitive exams.Methods: This cross sectional observational study was conducted among 130 students residing in a boarding school of North Kerala during the period 2014-2015. CES-DC scale was used to measure the prevalence of depression. All of them were reassessed after 1year of entering the school with the same scale.Results: The prevalence of clinically significant depression was seen in 57.7% and the prevalence was more in those attending the tuition class (p=0.0068). Depression was more in girls and still higher in girls who attended the tuition classes (p=0.035). There was significant correlation between the prevalence of depression and stream of subjects selected (p =0.001), previous academic achievement (p= 0.01). The scores of depressions didn’t show any statistically significant difference after one year of stay in boarding school.Conclusions: Severity of depression correlates with academic stress especially in boarding schools. Stress of competitive exams definitely more in higher secondary students and is one of the important cause for depression in them. Adolescents are not acquiring enough coping skills to overcome depression. Enhancing the coping strategies and the rescheduling of the educational system are the most important factors for prevention of these symptoms.

Published: March 2017

Background: The potential ill effects of malnutrition are numerous, such as decreased maximal respiratory muscle force, decreased hypoxic Ventilatory response and decreased resistance to infection. The objective was to assess nutritional profile in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care referral hospital. Period of study was one year. Present study was case control study. Institutional Ethics committee permission was taken. A total of 75 cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and comparable controls were included in the study.Results: Present study shows that there was significant difference in mid arm circumference and mid-thigh circumference between COPD cases and control groups as well as between serum pre-albumin and serum transferrin level, serum uric acid (p=0.018) and serum calcium level (p=0.002). There was no statistically difference with respect to serum total protein (p=0.308), serum albumin (p=0.533) and serum phosphorus level (p=0.064) between COPD patient and control groups. There was statistically significant difference in total lymphocyte count between COPD cases and control groups as well as between serum LDL and serum HDL, serum LDL and serum HDL with COPD grading. As COPD grading increased there was significant decrease in serum LDL and serum HDL level. There was no significant difference with respect serum TG (p=0.738), VLDL and total cholesterol level (p=0.063) between COPD cases and control groups.Conclusions: Simple measurement of BMI, mid arm circumference and mid-thigh circumference can assess mal-nutrition in COPD patients and biochemical parameter like serum pre-albumin and serum transferrin may helpful in early detection of malnutrition.

Published: March 2017

A atividade turística apresenta-se atualmente como meio de preservação das identidades locais, e forma de valorização do lugar. A Vila Ferroviária de Paranapiacaba exemplifica a busca do desenvolvimento e valorização do patrimônio cultural por meio do turismo. A Vila centenária busca desde 1999, mediante a ação da municipalidade de Santo André e a implementação de planos embasados em ferramentas como o “marketing do lugar”, recuperar e preservar o conjunto arquitetônico, urbanístico e ambiental, patrimônio tombado nas três instâncias: federal, estadual e municipal. O trabalho analisa criticamente o “Plano Patrimônio” (2003), documento-base para conduzir ações significativas com o objetivo de alcançar as finalidades apontadas, bem como analisa a eficácia do Plano como fundamento de política urbana que logra incentivar o desenvolvimento local por meio da recuperação do patrimônio.
Sociedade e economia do conhecimento na requalificação urbana: o caso do bairro Lagoinha em Belo Horizonte, MG

Published: March 2017

Face à crescente complexidade do subsistema climático urbano, é, cada vez mais,premente desenvolverem-se metodologias de análise do ambiente físico, tendo como objetivo primordial, a sustentabilidade ambiental dos meios urbanos. De facto, nunca como nos dias de hoje, a pressão antrópica exercida sobre estes territórios foi tão significativa, o que, portanto, requer respostas adequadas ao nível de políticas de planeamento e ordenamento do territórioNeste sentido, para que as cidades se tornem sustentáveis em termos ambientais, um dos “caminhos” a percorrer passa, efetivamente, pela aplicação e integração de informação de escala topoclimática nas políticas de ordenamento do território. Para que tal se verifique é necessário que o conhecimento climático seja “traduzido” numa linguagem passível de aplicação pelos agente de planeamento, numa lógica de plataforma de informação que permita uma crescente comunicação e colaboração interdisciplinar, entre os vários agentes envolvidos no processo.Deste modo, com o presente artigo e tendo por base a elaboração de um mapa climático urbano aplicado à cidade da Figueira da Foz (faixa ocidental de Portugal Continental), procura-se destacar o contributo deste método no processo de definição as unidades de resposta climática homogênea (climatopos), para as quais se definem as respetivas orientações climáticas, mediante o conhecimento prévio das características topoclimáticas do espaço urbano.

Authors: Amaral Carla Cristina , Fontes Maria Solange Gurgel de Castro 
Published: March 2017

O intenso uso de veículos motorizados nos corredores urbanos, por onde tambémcirculam veículos não motorizados e pedestres, tem contribuído para produção deruídos, poluição do ar e calor, que degradam o ambiente e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida dos pedestres. Esse aspecto é agravante em áreas comerciais e de prestação de serviços, como a av. Rodrigues Alves localizada em Bauru-SP, objeto de estudo deste trabalho, que é focado no ambiente térmico do pedestre. O trabalho envolve aspectos subjetivos (questionários) e objetivos (monitoramento microclimático) na avaliação das condições de conforto térmico de pedestres. Os resultados revelam uma faixa de conforto térmico para o índice PET de 16,4 a 28°C, evidenciando menor tolerância às altas temperaturas e maior às baixas, em comparação com resultados desenvolvidos em estudo similar realizado em um espaço público de permanência arborizado em Bauru.

O estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver procedimentos metodológicos, apoiando-se em ferramentas geoestatísticas e avaliação multicritério, para avaliar de forma integrada as condições de saúde, saneamento, ambiente e socioeconomia dos municípios do Estado de São Paulo. Foram efetuadas combinações entre análises espaciais, com base em Mapas de Kernel, e avaliação multicriterial para a demonstração de correlações entre índices de morbimortalidade e indicadores associados à cobertura por redes de água, esgoto e lixo, IDH, IPRS, PIB per capita, porte do município e taxa de urbanização. Os resultados indicaram que as ferramentas empregadas se mostraram eficazes na identificação das situações mais críticas e de maior complexidade, coincidentes com as áreas de menor dinamismo econômico situadas nas regiões sul, sudoeste e oeste do Estado. Conclui-se que o estado contribui para o aprimoramento do processo de planejamento municipal e regional, com vistas à redução das desigualdades e, também, ao desenvolvimento das áreas mais precárias.
Stover Removal Impact on Corn Plant Biomass, Nitrogen, and Use Efficiency
Authors: Sawyer John E. , Woli Krishna P. , Barker Daniel W. , Pantoja Jose L. 
Published: March 2017

Core Ideas
Corn stover has many uses, including recent interest for cellulosic bioenergy production.
For corn stover use in ethanol production, an increased understanding is needed of plant component biomass and N content within a stover harvest system, and the impact on N cycling and corn N use.
Improving N use efficiency in corn is important for optimizing yield and reducing environmental impacts.
Corn (Zea mays L.) stover has become an important commodity for many uses, including cellulosic ethanol production. However, there are concerns about the impacts of aggressive stover removal at the industrial scale. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous stover removal (SR) on plant component productivity, N uptake, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Treatments were none, partial, and complete SR, no‐till (NT) and chisel plow (CP), and 0, 168, and 280 kg N ha−1 rates. Total plant, vegetative, grain, and cob dry matter (DM) increased with SR (5.2–7.5%), but no difference was detected between partial and complete removal and there were no interactions with tillage system or N rate. Chisel plow and N application increased total and plant component DM, with the same overall effect on plant components from tillage as occurred with SR. Grain harvest index (GHI) was not influenced by SR (mean of 51% with N application). Stover removal had little effect on NUE measures, with only partial factor productivity (PFP), total production efficiency (TPE), and system efficiency (SYE) increasing with SR. Increasing N rate decreased NUE, with no differential effect from SR or tillage system. Stover removal in this continuous corn system provided a soil environment conducive to increased overall productivity, plant N uptake, and NUE; with a similar effect with CP compared to NT. Nitrogen management will need to account for specific biomass removal because corn production level and N removal can be differentially affected by plant component harvest.
