A formação inicial no curso de artes visuais da UFSM: envolvimentos de estagiários e orientadores
Authors: Agostini Sandra 
Published: May 2016

Este artigo é um texto proveniente de uma pesquisa que realizei entre os anos 2006 e 2007, referente ao processo de organização e desenvolvimento de Estágios Curriculares em Cursos de Licenciatura da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), procurando contribuir com sugestões, subsídios e parâmetros para que haja melhorias no processo de organização e desenvolvimento de Estágios Curriculares em Cursos de Licenciatura. Neste artigo, em particular, estudamos apenas o Curso de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais da UFSM, buscando caracterizar o processo de organização e desenvolvimento do EstágioCurricular a partir das "visões" dos vinte e três (23) alunos estagiários e do professor orientador de estágios inseridos neste curso. Como fontes de informação, utilizei questionários de perguntas abertas e grupo de discussão, junto aos alunos estagiários e entrevista estruturada junto ao professor orientador de estágios. Constatei que, o Curso apresenta carga horária pouco superior a prevista pela legislação vigente para as atividades de Estágio Curricular. No geral, todos os alunos estagiários tiveram um bom relacionamento com o professor orientador de estágio, foram orientados para conseguirem sua vaga de estágio na escola, foram bem recebidos pelas escolas que possuem tradição em recebê-los, consideraram sua formação inicial como um momento importante de aprendizagem, e elegeram às disciplinas de "Conhecimento de conteúdo específico" como as que mais contribuíram para a realização dos estágios. Porém, relataram que as escolas não os acompanharam no desenvolvimento do estágio, e, sobretudo, não mostraram preocupação em auxiliar os estagiários em formação, o que indica não haver ações interativas entre as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) e as Escolas de Educação Básica (EEB) relativamente comprometidas no processo de Formação Inicial de Professores.
Corpos em deslocamento: sobre o percurso criativo da obra de Carlos Vergara
Authors: Santini Renata Favarin 
Published: May 2016

Este artigo abriga algumas reflexões contidas em minha pesquisa de mestrado, referente à trajetória do artista Carlos Vergara. Neste texto, o enfoque é dado ao processo construtivo de três obras, São Miguel - Sagrado Coração, (Monotipia e pintura sobre lona crua), S.M. 4 (3D lenticular) e São Miguel - Piso VI (Monotipia sobre lona crua), iniciadas durante a intervenção do artista nas ruínas de São Miguel das Missões (2008). Como resultados, foi constatada a presença da linguagem fotográfica no processo dessas três obras, nas quais se evidenciam deslocamentos físicos. Quando deslocadas para o ambiente de exposição, essas obras sustentam tais deslocamentos, que se evidenciam por meio de monotipias. No entanto, a visualidade das obrasmuitas vezes encobre desdobramentos de outros deslocamentos, que se comprovam através da análise dos documentos de processo. Sendo assim, torna-se evidente a possibilidade de os deslocamentos contidos no processo das obras desagregarem sentido nas mesmas, possibilitando assim o surgimento de novos regimes de visibilidade.
Fontes imagéticas na poética de Andreas Gryphius
Authors: Brandão Antônio Jackson De Souza 
Published: May 2016

Pretendemos refletir sobre a utilização de elementos imagéticos e suas fontes na Alemanha do século XVII e demonstrar que a literatura barroca não deve ser entendida como uma poética de experiências pessoais no sentido contemporâneo. Andreas Gryphius, como os artistas inseridos no contexto social do barroco alemão, estava imerso num mar de imagense tópicas, fazendo largo emprego dessas em seu trabalho poético. Para isso, utilizou como fonte de inspiração não só os auctoritas e os livros de emblemas que circulavam na Europa no século XVII, como também a Bíblia, já que o período também estava impregnado do elemento sacro.
Educação das artes visuais: corpo, subjetividades e diferenças na perspectiva da fotografia
Authors: Paz Thais Raquel da Silva 
Published: May 2016

Este artigo trata da abordagem de questões sobre corpo e subjetividades do educando através da linguagem da fotografia no ensino de arte na escola. Partindo da idéia de que a fotografia tem uma presença habitual na vida das pessoas, seja em um álbum de família, em jornais, em revistas ou em páginas e blogs pessoais que circulam pela internet, a pesquisa buscou mostrar outra perspectiva da fotografia como inserção na educação das artes visuais. E a partir dela, problematizar com os educandos a necessidade de refletir o que e como representamos para a sociedade na qual vivemos.Palavras-chaveEducação das artes visuais, fotografia, corpo, subjetividade.
ECM+Génération2014 : pistes de réflexion sur la notion de style chez les compositeurs de la relève canadienne
Authors: Henry Symon 
Published: May 2016

En 2014, l’Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM+), dirigé par Véronique Lacroix, célébrait le 20e anniversaire du projet Génération, concours pancanadien bisannuel de composition. Cet article étudie les démarches des compositeurs qui ont participé à l’édition 2014 : Marie-Pierre Brasset (Québec), Alec Hall (Ontario/New-York), Evelin Ramon (Québec/La Havane) et Anthony Tan (Alberta/Berlin). Y sont proposées certaines bases de réflexion quant à la notion de style appliquée aux démarches de compositeurs de la relève liés à la scène canadienne de musique contemporaine.
L’article circonscrit d’abord l’idée de style telle qu’elle a été comprise dans le cadre de cet article. Est ensuite mise en perspective, grâce à cette définition de concept, les démarches des lauréats du projet ECM+ Génération2014. Ceux-ci partagent un certain dialecte stylistique, tout en ayant une forte volonté d’indépendance. On remarque particulièrement un positionnement fort, chez les quatre compositeurs, par rapport aux archétypes de la musique classique occidentale – comme le lyrisme traditionnel et l’expression personnelle. L’idée de recherche et d’expérimentation constante s’est aussi révélée être un angle d’approche important afin d’étudier la notion de style chez les quatre lauréats. L’expression personnelle a été le dernier enjeu majeur commun ayant émergé de cette étude. En conclusion, la prise en charge critique, par les compositeurs, de l’ensemble de contraintes qui définit leur donné stylistique, s’est révélé être un outil de création de sens puissant dans leur travail.
Accurate analysis of top gate effect of a typical triple-gate fin-type FET using three-dimensional device simulation
Authors: Tsutsumi Toshiyuki , Nakamura Takeshi , Yokoyama Norihiro , Fukuoka Shota 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Triple-gate (TG) fin-type FETs (FinFETs) are used in advanced mass production of high-performance devices. The TG FinFET was developed from the double-gate (DG) FinFET by adding another gate for higher performance and lower variability. We analyzed the effect of the top gate of a typical TG FinFET using three-dimensional (3D) device simulation accurately for the first time. It was found that the top gate improves the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) by 9%. The improvements of the threshold voltage (V
th) and ON current (I
on) were found to be as small as 5 and 7%, respectively. The improvement of subthreshold swing (SS) was very small at 1% despite our expectation. However, the OFF current (I
off) was substantially reduced by 28% contrary to our intuitive prediction. The top gate only slightly enhances the electrostatic controllability of the channel current, so the improvements of device performance are marginal except that it has a large effect on I
off reduction. It is therefore found that the biggest role of the top gate of a typical TG FinFET is substantially decreasing I
off. The reason for the I
off reduction is the increase in the bottleneck energy of the conduction band near the channel surface by 100 meV caused by the presence of the top gate. Since the large I
off reduction is very important to suppress power consumption, our new knowledge is beneficial to develop ultralow-power devices.

Published: May 2016

Islam encourages the human beings to have a spirit of entrepreneurship. For that reason, investment is considered important concern in business. However,making decision on investment by the Moslems still needs great attention. Thestudy aimed to investigate the determinants of Moslem entrepreneurs whenthey are trying to make a decision in investment. It utilized descriptive design.Some variables proposed as determinants are Islamic transaction principle, overconfidence, and risk perception. The analysis was done by using surveymethod on Sidoarjo’s Moslem entrepreneurs and GeSCA software. Based onsuch analysis, it was found that Islamic transaction principles are somewhatnot really implemented comprehensively by Moslem entrepreneurs. They madedecisions based on ratio of the probability of success or failure, to what extent itcan increase success and reduce failure. The ability to take risks depends on theself-confidence and ability to seek opportunities. Hence, entrepreneurs shouldaccept the risks associated with business failure.Keywords: Moslem entrepreneur, risk perception, investment decision, behavioralfinance, descriptive design, Indonesia
Filipino Parents’ Attitudes towards TV Advertising and their Controls on Children’s TV Viewing
Authors: CHAVES MARY GRETCHEN F. 
Published: May 2016

Skepticism towards TV advertisements targeted at children may driveprudent parents to limit their children’s exposure to these commercials. Parentalmediation strategies are among the approaches parents resort to in restrictingtheir children’s TV viewing. This correlational study investigated Filipinoparents’ attitudes towards TV advertising and the controls parents imposed ontheir children’s television viewing. The study hypothesized that parental attitudestowards TV advertising correlate with parental controls on their children’s TVviewing. Two hundred fifty parent-child dyads participated in a face-to-face surveyconducted in early 2011 among urban middle-income households in Cebu City,Philippines. The results show that on average, parents maintained a moderatelynegative attitude towards TV advertising. Majority of the parents restrictedtheir children’s TV viewing, mostly by scheduling and limiting the TV viewingtimes to prioritize study and sleeping hours. However, there are no significantcorrelations between the scores of parents’ attitudes towards TV advertising andthe controls they impose on their children’s TV viewing. The study concludesthat parental controls over their children’s TV viewing are due to reasons otherthan the parents’ evaluation of the undesirable impact of TV advertising. Theresults of this study identify implications to policy makers, marketers, advertisers, children’s advocacy groups, academicians and parents.Keywords: Social Science, TV advertising, parents’ attitudes, parental controls,descriptive-correlational design, Philippines

Published: May 2016

Special project cadets are exposed to various experiences as they embark onboardinternational vessels during their on the-Job Training for 12 months. With theaim of getting authentic information relative to their actual lived experiences awayfrom home, this descriptive study sought to determine the problems encountered by company scholars and their coping strategies particularly at work and in their social interaction with their fellow crew. A survey questionnaire and an interviewguide were employed in gathering data. Forty-seven (47) Engine cadets of a groupof shipowners and a particular shipping company who have returned from their12-month apprenticeship revealed that they learned appropriate work valuessuch as flexibility and adaptability, patience and self-control, humility, resilience, stronger sense of responsibility, discipline and perseverance. Vulnerability todifficult situations, homesickness, and mismatched task assignments wereprevailing problems among the cadets. It is recommended that clear measuresmust be done to address issues on discrimination, abuse by authority, emotionaland physical harassment, excessive workloads, and unpaid overtime which havebeen partially revealed in this study. A feedback mechanism is also suggestedfor shipping companies to allow returning cadets to reveal the quality of theirexperiences for the purpose of ensuring a fair and honest management of crewin their fleets.Keywords: Social sciences, seafaring industry, maritime students, On-the-Job Training,descriptive design, Philippines

This studywas anchored on van Manen’s (1990) phenomenological theory. Respondents of this study were ten (10) selected seafarers. This study used interviews, questionnaires, and focus group discussion. Results were as follows: seafarershave experienced disturbed sleep, headache, and depression, as their main stressexperiences; seafarers’ stressors experienced were delayed promotion, insufficientincome, and children’s poor health and children’s poor performance; seafarers’coping behaviors were praying, talking with friends or shipmates, and viewingmovies; seafarers’ autonomy through the design of the wellness program toimprove their life and their well-being not only for themselves but for their lovedones. Comprehensive Wellness Program for Seafarers: A BiopsychosociospiritualApproach describes the holistic and comprehensive strategies/activitiesthat seafarers can engage with to assure their over-all wellness and holisticdevelopment. Seafarer’s health, creating a full and balanced lifestyle and achievesthe best professional can be achieved. Interest in the plight of seafarers coincideswith the comprehensive whole seafarer wellness model that includes biological,psychological, social and spiritual dimensions.Keywords: Biopsychosociospiritual wellness program, lived experiences, stress, copingresponses
Life after the Storm: Voices of Women Survivors of Domestic Violence
Authors: Padilla Victoria P. 
Published: May 2016

Life is certainly not a fairytale and in this kind of situation, “happily ever after” is not very common. These are the stories of five women-survivors of domestic violence who dreamed of having a happy family, but in the end, their dreams contradicted reality. This interpretivist qualitative study was designed to look into a deeper understanding of collective accounts of women-survivors of domestic violence. The narrative inquiry was employed using the in-depth interview method. The study revealed that these women experienced various forms of domestic violence and were caused by men’s bad habits, problems arising from the family, and jealousy of a man or a woman. Several strategies were employed by these women to improve their lives. This tough decision to free themselves from the abuse made them better individuals, developed a stronger bond with their children, and increased faith in God.

Study Status of University of Lagos Students with Visual Impairment
Authors: Haastrup E. Adenrele 
Published: May 2016

In this descriptive survey, an effort was focused on investigating the challenges faced by visually impaired students of the University of Lagos. The population for the study comprised of male and female visually impaired students on a regular full-time programme of the University. A total of forty-two students representing 93.3% of the population (46) were involved in the survey using quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Data were collected using a self- developed and validated questionnaire named Visually Impaired Students Study (VISSS) (r=0.89), two focus group discussions (one male and one female) and an in-depth interview. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics to present data while inferential statistics of Chi-square was used to test the hypothesis. Information gathered through the FGD and IDI were treated using content analysis method. The study statistically revealed that: the University of Lagos provided a conducive learning environment for students with visual impairment. However, respondents were of the opinion that a lot more need to be done in the following areas of challenge: lecturer-student relationship; delivery of lecture; and conduct of examination including venue and invigilation. The study recommends employment of staff (academic and non-academic) with a background in special education; and training of lecturers in interacting with students with visual impairment. In the interim, dialogue/interaction between the university authority and students with different types of impairment should also be scaled up.

Status of the Implementation of Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of Zamboanga City State Polytechnic College, Philippines
Authors: Fernandez Hermenegilda C. 
Published: May 2016

Sexual harassment is a worldwide phenomenon. It can occur in the workplace or at school. Thus, this descriptive study was conducted to determine the extent of implementation of the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act (RA 7877) as assessed by the students and faculty/personnel. The respondents were the randomly sampled college students of the College. Researcher-made survey questionnaire and interview schedule were used for data gathering. Data were analyzed and interpreted using percentage, mean and t-test. Results reveal that the College implemented to a moderate extent the Anti-sexual Harassment Act (RA 7877). The school has in place implementing measures and carries out dissemination of RA’s provisions as evidenced by the moderate satisfaction and awareness of the school’s stakeholders – the students and the faculty/personnel.However, the stakeholders’ moderate satisfaction and awareness suggest a need for the school to intensify its efforts in implementing the Act to make the stakeholders fully aware of the Act, toinvolve the stakeholders in the fight against sexual harassment through comprehensive information campaign during meetings and symposia and classroom instruction, and to stipulate the RA’s provisions in manuals/handbooks and information technology-based communication platform.
Application of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for Diagnosis of Female Bladder Neck Obstruction

Published: May 2016

ObjectivesTo determine the application value of combined transperineal sonography and Virtual Touch tissue quantification (Siemens Medical Solutions, Mountain View, CA) on acoustic radiation force impulse imaging as a scanning method for diagnosis of female bladder neck obstruction.MethodsTransperineal sonography and Virtual Touch tissue quantification were combined to depict the bladder neck and observe its sonographic characteristics in 36 patients with female bladder neck obstruction and 30 healthy adults in a case‐control study. We measured the thickness and shear wave velocity (SWV) of the bladder neck's anterior and posterior lips.ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in the thickness and SWV of the bladder neck between the healthy women and those with bladder neck obstruction, whose SWV was higher (P< .05). For the anterior lip, an SWV of 2.11 m/s was the best cutoff point for differentiating bladder neck obstruction from a normal bladder neck; for the posterior lip, an SWV of 2.06 m/s was the best cutoff point. The mean thicknesses of the anterior and posterior lips ± SD were 0.66 ± 0.05 and 0.68 ± 0.05 cm in the group with bladder neck obstruction versus 0.45 ± 0.07 and 0.52 ± 0.09 cm in the normal group. There was a significant difference between them (P < .05).ConclusionsThe bladder neck's anatomic structure can be observed visually by perineal sonography. Virtual Touch tissue quantification on acoustic radiation force impulse imaging can quantitatively reflect the bladder neck stiffness and change in texture. It could provide a quantitative indicator for clinical diagnosis of female bladder neck obstruction and etiology research and display important clinical values.
Crustal shear velocity structure in the Southern Lau Basin constrained by seafloor compliance
Authors: Zha Yang , Webb Spahr C. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractSeafloor morphology and crustal structure vary significantly in the Lau back‐arc basin, which contains regions of island arc formation, rifting, and seafloor spreading. We analyze seafloor compliance: deformation under long period ocean wave forcing, at 30 ocean bottom seismometers to constrain crustal shear wave velocity structure along and across the Eastern Lau Spreading Center (ELSC). Velocity models obtained through Monte Carlo inversion of compliance data show systematic variation of crustal structure in the basin. Sediment thicknesses range from zero thickness at the ridge axis to 1400 m near the volcanic arc. Sediment thickness increases faster to the east than to the west of the ELSC, suggesting a more abundant source of sediment near the active arc volcanoes. Along the ELSC, upper crustal velocities increase from the south to the north where the ridge has migrated farther away from the volcanic arc front. Along the axial ELSC, compliance analysis did not detect a crustal low‐velocity body, indicating less melt in the ELSC crustal accretion zone compared to the fast spreading East Pacific Rise. Average upper crust shear velocities for the older ELSC crust produced when the ridge was near the volcanic arc are 0.5–0.8 km/s slower than crust produced at the present‐day northern ELSC, consistent with a more porous extrusive layer. Crust in the western Lau Basin, which although thought to have been produced through extension and rifting of old arc crust, is found to have upper crustal velocities similar to older oceanic crust produced at the ELSC.
