A traumatikus élmények facilitáló szerepe a művészetben
Authors: Gerevich József 
Published: April 2017

Abstract: Traumatic experiences can not only have unfavourable consequences, they can also contribute, with a kind of creative twist, to the development of the person affected by the trauma. The artistic responses to traumas can be examined on the basis of the different types of trauma. This study reports on an investigation focusing on six types of trauma: emotional deprivation/neglect; near-death experience; becoming the victim of violence; war; accident/sickness and emotional frustration. Examples taken from the history of art indicate that works of art can draw attention to the traumatic experiences of the artists with frequently repeated motifs and portrayal techniques (sun, mother image, objects referring to the person lost, motifs of violence or symbols of violence, artistic manifestations of an exaggerated self-image, surreal visions, dry irony, substituting other objects for the beloved person), or a sudden change of style and subject that can express a heightened interest in human suffering (Lovis Corinth). An emphasis placed on self-portrayal can indicate the artist’s increased self-examination, in cases of sickness, or continuous monitoring of the state of mind (Frida Kahlo, Otto Dix, Lovis Corinth, Edvard Munch). In some cases artistic activity can help to work through the trauma (Hans Bellmer, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Ernst, René Magritte), in other cases it is not able to prevent the development of psychological/psychiatric consequences of the trauma (Artemisia Gentileschi, Edvard Munch, Lajos Gulácsy). Traumas can be the sources of motivation and provide themes for works of art; and, although not in all cases, artistic creativity can contribute to effectively working through traumatic experiences.

Prosodic Variation in Academic Public Presentations
Authors: Freydina Elena 
Published: April 2017

The article reports on a study of the prosodic characteristics of academic public presentations. Prosodic variation is analysed with regard to the social and cultural context which is significant for the adequate description of discourse prosody. The paper draws on the findings made in the course of the analysis (auditory and acoustic) of presentations delivered by British lecturers. The article contains an overview of contextual factors and discourse strategies used in academic presentations. Special focus is given to prosodic variations in spoken discourse determined by the extralinguistic context. The author argues that that the choice of prosodic means depends on a variety of contextual parameters: speaker-audience relationships (reflected in the tenor of discourse), the speaker’s rhetorical competence, method of delivery, rhetorical tradition and others. The observations made in the paper may be useful to develop expertise in the delivery of academic public presentations which is an important aspect of EFL teachers’ professional training.

Published: April 2017

The article reports on a study of teacher corrective oral feedback in Iris Becker Elementary School, a public school serving pupils from kindergarten-5th grade in Dearborn, Michigan. Some researchers claim that teacher corrective oral feedback is beneficial to L2 learning while others discard its merit. This study is an attempt to explore this topic further with young learners. The method used in the study included one classroom observation. The participants included one mainstream classroom teacher and about 25 students. The results show high teacher corrective oral feedback.
Graph Description as an Issue in L2 Academic English Writing
Authors: Khrabrova Valentina 
Published: April 2017

Young people’s interest in taking international exams such as IELTS results from student mobility and their willingness to appraise language abilities. In this paper, Academic Writing Task One of IELTS is examined. This task implies candidates comprehending graphic information and processing it in written discourse. The gap between a host of graph description tests and an insignificant number of efficient teaching methods has provided a rationale for the current study. It focuses on graph description as a cognitive, psychological and educational process and employs the analysis method in the theoretical section. Based on the action research method, drawing on 25 students’ written samples, the study has quested for peculiar language problems detrimental to processing the graph description task. The data have revealed the key pillars of successful written graph presentation: the combination of all four main skills, i.e. reading, listening, writing, and speaking; skills transfer; critical thinking and writing; the appropriate use of style; graphic literacy. It is concluded that the “constant nudging” method, a skills transfer, the use of appropriate vocabulary for describing trends alongside academic functional phrases and grammar features, the analysis of mass media information with numeric data are solutions to graph description issues. The findings have implications for preparing students for IELTS.

Give an Envelope for the Boss/Give a Brown Envelope for the Boss- On the Semantics and Characteristics of the Metaphors for Bribe Across Cultures: Focus on Cameroon and Nigeria
Authors: Kamtchueng Lozzi Martial Meutem 
Published: April 2017

This paper sets out to study in a comparative perspective the semantics and the characteristics of the metaphors for bribe used by Cameroonians and Nigerians and discuss the factors which can account for the choice of these metaphors. The data for the study were collected from participant observation, novels, interviews, scientific papers and online sources and the work is discussed from the vantage point of functional grammar and cognitive linguistics. The findings of the study reveal that in order to lessen the appalling nature of the act of asking for bribes, avoid sounding ridiculous and render incomprehensible the message of asking for bribe from people who are not familiar with it, these language users utilize various types of metaphors (object metaphors, anthropomorphic metaphors, vegetative metaphors as well as zoomorphic metaphors). These metaphors display some similarities (which can be accounted for by the geographical proximity between the two countries) and differences: both utilize almost the same types of metaphors and to a lesser extent the same lexical items to refer to bribe but in different proportions (object metaphors, anthropomorphic metaphors, vegetative metaphors as well as zoomorphic metaphors). Furthermore, it is found that the values conveyed by these metaphors fall under the domains of foodstuff and drinks, fauna, human beings and body parts, mailing and transportation as well as abstract realities. Also, some of these metaphors can be characterized as being meliorative, pejorative, vindictive and kinesthetic. Moreover, it is found that cultural, social and economic factors can provide insights to the understanding of the choice of the values used to refer to bribe by these language users. In addition, the values used to represent bribes in these countries are a depiction of their multilingual complex nature.
Building a Climate of Change with a link through Transformational Leadership and Corporate Culture: A Management key to a Global Environment
Authors: Flemming Paul Llwellyn 
Published: April 2017

<p>Leaders in the Caribbean Diaspora have argued that there is no documented evidence of the association between the three fundamental pillars of public sector organization: leadership, performance and culture. This cross-culture leadership concern has evoked a series of research which basic aim is to conceptualize the leadership culture phenomenon. The problem is that there is a high degree of dysfunctional leadership within the public sectors organizations in the Caribbean diaspora and there is limited empirical evidence that can be had to validate the reason for this inadequacy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between transformational leadership styles, corporate organizational culture types and performance in sixteen public sectors organizations. The methodology implemented in this research is the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X), and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) to collect data. Seventy-five executive directors completed measures of the MLQ 5x leadership traits and culture types. A total of 200 employees from across sixteen public sector organizations completed the measures on leadership and culture. The responses were scaled and coded to enable the segmentation of the data into dependent and independent variables based on the leadership, performance and culture variables. The study utilized the multiple regression models and correlation statistical analyses to determine the degree of commonality among the components. The results indicate support for the hypotheses link between the traits of transformational leadership and organizational culture with performance being the mediating variable. Exploratory analysis showed that several executive leaders have leadership traits that support culture values. The study concluded that transformational leadership and corporate organizational culture have positive effects on facilitating performance and is best suited in managing change and innovation in mature public and private sector organizations.</p>
Denials of Racism in Canadian English Language Textbooks
Authors: Gulliver Trevor , Thurrell Kristy 
Published: April 2017

This critical discourse analysis examines denials of racism in descriptions of Canada and Canadians from English language textbooks. Denials of racism often accompany racist and nationalist discourse, preempting observations of racism. The study finds that in representations of Canada or Canadians, English language texts minimize and downplay racism in Canada’s past and present while problematically and uncritically constructing Canadians as committed to multiculturalism and ethnic and racial diversity. The authors echo the call made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for antiracist education and education materials that speak frankly of racism in Canadian history. Cette analyse critique du discours porte sur le déni du racisme dans des descriptions du Canada et des Canadiens tirées de manuels de langue anglaise. Les dénis du racisme accompagnent souvent le discours raciste et nationaliste, empêchant ainsi la reconnaissance du racisme. Cette étude a trouvé que dans leurs représentations du Canada ou des Canadiens, les manuels de langue anglais minimisent ou amoindrissent les cas de racisme dans le passé et le présent tout en proposant, de manière problématique et incontestée, une vision des Canadiens comme étant attachés au multiculturalisme et à la diversité ethnique et raciale. Les auteurs répètent l’appel de la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation pour un enseignement et du matériel pédagogique antiracistes qui dévoilent ouvertement le racisme dans l’histoire canadienne.

UNA EDUCACIÓN TRANSFORMADORA PARA EL SALVADOR: PROPUESTA Y OBSTÁCULOS PARA ALCANZARLA
Authors: Ascencio Velásquez Milton 
Published: April 2017

Este ensayo tiene dos propósitos. Primero, exponer un punto de vista sobre el concepto educación de calidad en relación con la finalidad de la educación salvadoreña expresada en la Constitución Política de El Salvador. Se propone que una educación de calidad sea entendida como aquella que procura la formación de ciudadanos críticos y activos a partir del desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, con lo cual se logre dar respuestas a los problemas sociales actuales. El segundo propósito es argumentar que en el presente existen serios obstáculos para que el Estado salvadoreño garantice una educación transformadora a su población tales como acceso limitado al sistema educativo, alta deserción escolar, preparación docente limitada, así como la falta de consenso de país en torno a la educación, poca inversión en la educación e ideas reduccionistas que orientan los programas educativos gubernamentales únicamente a la competitividad laboral y la actualización tecnológica

<p class="p1">Especies como la manzana de altura han sido sometidas en Costa Rica a un proceso de domesticación para adaptarlas a las condiciones climáticas de ese país y específicamente a las de la Zona de los Santos de Costa Rica. Este esfuerzo ha llevado a la obtención en la actualidad de productos que son bien aceptados en el mercado por su sabor, olor, facilidad de manipulación, entre otros. Con el avance del conocimiento biológico y químico, los estudios del contenido de polifenoles en este tipo de frutos se han incrementado, demostrando que estos poseen propiedades bioactivas, tal como su potencial antioxidante, siendo este conocimiento un factor importante en la creciente utilización de frutas y suplementos nutricionales con contenido polifenólico importante a nivel internacional y en la dieta de los costarricenses. De allí, que el presente trabajo se enfoca en realizar estudios en frutos de altura cultivados en Costa Rica, tanto desde el punto de vista de mejora agroecológica, así como de la determinación del contenido de polifenoles y su capacidad antioxidante. Se adquirieron frutos de dos variedades de la especie <em>Malus domestica</em>, a saber, manzana variedad Ana y Jonas, que fueron procesados en el laboratorio con el fin de ser utilizados para estas determinaciones. Además, se trabajó en la mejora de las condiciones agroecológicas para el cultivo con el uso de microorganimos de biocontrol contribuyendo a la protección de suelo. Esta publicación presenta información preliminar de estos estudios, dada su relevancia para el conocimiento científico con resultados que se publican por primera vez para esta especie económicamente importante cultivada en Costa Rica.</p>

Published: April 2017

A aplicação do Índice de Hack (IH) e sua relação com a estrutura e dinâmica das encostas tornaram possível a identificação de anomalias de drenagem ao longo do perfil longitudinal. Este método relaciona o IHtrecho com o índice total do canal (IHtotal) sob a fórmula IHtrecho/IHtotal onde valores encontrados entre 0 e 1,99 são considerados não anômalos, valores entre 2 e 10 possuem anomalias de 2° ordem e valores acima de 10 anomalias de 1° ordem. Este trabalho utilizou-se destes métodos para investigação do comportamento da drenagem do rio Paraíba do Meio, localizado entre o agreste pernambucano e a zona da mata alagoana. Foram estabelecidas 32 isoípsas de 25m de intervalo, e identificadas 15 anomalias de 1° ordem e 14 de 2° ordem. Esta quebra indica uma grande ruptura de patamar ocorrendo próximo à costa que pode ser considerada como a transição Encosta – Piemont. DRAINAGE ANOMALIES IDENTIFICATION IN THE PARAIBA DO MEIO RIVER (PE / AL) FROM THE HACK INDEX APPLICATION ABSTRACTThe Hack Index (IH) and its relationship with the structure and dynamics of the slopes made it possible to identify drainage anomalies along the longitudinal profile. This method relates IHstretch to the total watercourse index (IHtotal) under the formula IHstretch/IHtotal where values found between 0 and 1.99 are considered non-anomalous, values between 2 and 10 have 2nd order anomalies and values above 10 Anomalies of 1st order. This work used of these methods to investigate the drainage patterns of the Paraíba do Meio river, located between the sub-humid zone of Pernambuco and the forest zone of Alagoas. 32 isoípsas of 25m interval were established, and 15 anomalies of 1st order and 14 of 2nd order were identified. This break indicates a large rupture of the plateau occurring near the coast that can be considered as the transition Slop- Piemont.Keywords: hack index; relief anomalies; drainage basins.

Simulation of Heave-Induced Pressure Oscillations in Herschel-Bulkley Muds
Authors: Strecker Timm , Aamo Ole Morten , Manum Henrik 
Published: April 2017

Summary
Heave induces pressure oscillations when drilling offshore from floating rigs. A time-domain model is proposed to analyze and predict such pressure oscillations. The model considers the coupled dynamics of the mud and the drillstring, Herschel-Bulkley-type rheology, and realistic geometries. A computationally efficient method to evaluate friction as a nonlinear function of the mud-flow rate and drillstring velocity is discussed. In a simulation study, we illustrate several nonlinear phenomena that have important practical implications but were not included in previous, simpler models. In particular, muds with a yield point can increase the pressure amplitudes significantly, and severe downhole-pressure oscillations are not detectable from topside measurements in many cases.
Narcoestética en Colombia: entre la vanidad y el delito. Una aproximación compleja
Authors: Andrade Salazar José Alonso , Peña Brigithe Dineya , Parra Giraldo Mateo 
Published: April 2017

El obje tivo de este trabajo es aproximarse a la comprensión de un fenómeno poco estudiado: la narcoestética en Colombia; para ello, se acoplaron aportes de la teoría de la complejidad de Edgar Morin respecto a la relación entre objeto y sistema.La narcoestética es un fenómeno social que modifi ca el sistema de relaciones de los sujetos en un dominio específico de interacción: “el narcotráfico”. En este escenario, el cuerpo femenino está sujetado a cambios quirúrgicos “decorativosornamentales” que, a su vez, modifi can las representaciones y esquemas mentales de belleza. Las variaciones estéticas se ven apuntaladas por condiciones narcisistas de la personalidad y deseos de poder, enunciados en la representación social del “narco” mediante una acción operante sobre los cuerpos. Se concluye que la tendencia exacerbada a operarse es similar a un tipo de droga o adicción social que puede tener efectos irreversibles para la salud de las personas.
