Visual Composition of Bodily Presence. A Phenomenological Approach to Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master
Authors: Gyenge Zsolt 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The description and interpretation of the visual composition of a film is crucial in understanding the effects of moving images and their specific role in the contemporary context of intermediality. The phenomenological approach, based on the precise depiction of the lived perceptual experience and its integration in the process of interpretation, offers a powerful tool for critical analysis. Although this theoretical framework opens up many different approaches, in this paper I will focus on Merleau-Pontyʼs phenomenological account of perception and on the viewer experience described by Vivian Sobchack with the self-contradictory term “a filmʼs body.” After studying this concept and its role in film analysis, as used by Sobchack, based on the term double-sided and fissured experience the paper offers an alternative approach which, compared to the earlier ones, seems to be more fruitful in understanding the act of vision and the embodied viewer experience constructed by a moving picture. The last part of the paper demonstrates, through the example of Paul Thomas Andersonʼs The Master (2012), how crucial the embodied viewer experience can be in the understanding of moving images. The analysis of the visual system of this film will show how the main problem of the whole story is re-created, re-presented in the visually triggered bodily experience of the viewer.
Parameters for the Assessment of the Impact of Internationalisation Policy on Quality in Higher Education and its Influence on the Development of Society: The Lithuanian Case
Authors: Sumskaite Alvija , Juknyte-Petreikiene Inga 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe article discusses the envisaged outcomes of internationalisation policy of higher education in the context of the European Higher Education Area, and the effect of internationalisation policy on quality in higher education. In Lithuania, internationalisation of higher education is supported by large amounts of public finance, in the hope that internationalisation will provide added value to the quality of higher education. However, there are no tools for collecting evidence of whether that investment is properly used. The research question of the study is how the internationalisation policy impact on quality in higher education and its influence on wider society may be measured in a particular national context. The article presents exploratory research findings based on an extensive literature review and views of policymakers, higher education administrators and academics evaluated as a set of indicators and criteria to be used in assessing the impact of internationalisation policy on quality in higher education and its influence on wider society.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a 6 week resistance training protocol under hypoxic conditions (FiO2 = 12.9%, 4000 m) on muscle hypertrophy. The project included 12 resistance trained male subjects, randomly divided into two experimental groups. Group 1 (n = 6; age 21 ± 2.4 years; body height [BH] 178.8 ± 7.3 cm; body mass [BM] 80.6 ± 12.3 kg) and group 2 (n = 6; age 22 ± 1.5 years; BH 177.8 ± 3.7cm; BM 81.1 ± 7.5 kg). Each group performed resistance exercises alternately under normoxic and hypoxic conditions (4000 m) for 6 weeks. All subjects followed a training protocol that comprised two training sessions per week at an exercise intensity of 70% of 1RM; each training session consisted of eight sets of 10 repetitions of the bench press and barbell squat, with 3 min rest periods. The results indicated that strength training in normobaric hypoxia caused a significant increase in BM (p < 0.01) and fat free mass (FFM) (p < 0.05) in both groups. Additionally, a significant increase (p < 0.05) was observed in IGF-1 concentrations at rest after 6 weeks of hypoxic resistance training in both groups. The results of this study allow to conclude that resistance training (6 weeks) under normobaric hypoxic conditions induces greater muscle hypertrophy compared to training in normoxic conditions.
Determination of Aerobic Power Through a Specific Test for Taekwondo - A Predictive Equation Model

Published: October 2016

Abstract
Our aim was to verify the concurrent validity of a maximal taekwondo specific test (TST) to predict VO2max through an explanatory model. Seventeen elite male taekwondo athletes (age: 17.59 ± 4.34 years; body height: 1.72 ± 6.5 m; body mass: 61.3 ± 8.7 kg) performed two graded maximal exercise tests on different days: a 20 m multistage shuttle run test (SRT) and an incremental TST. We recorded test time, VO2max, ventilation, a heart rate and time to exhaustion. Significant differences were found between observed and estimated VO2max values [F (2, 16) = 5.77, p < 0.01]; post-hoc subgroup analysis revealed the existence of significant differences (p = 0.04) between the estimated VO2max value in the SRT and the observed value recorded in the TST (58.4 ± 6.4 ml/kg/min and 52.6 ± 5.2 ml/kg/min, respectively). Our analysis also revealed a moderate correlation between both testing protocols regarding VO2max (r = 0.70; p = 0.005), test time (r = 0.77; p = 0.02) and ventilation (r = 0.69; p = 0.03). There was no proportional bias in the mean difference (t = -1.04; p = 0.313), and there was a level of agreement between both tests. An equation/model was used to estimate VO2max during the TST based on the mean heart rate, test time, body height and mass, which explained 74.3% of the observed VO2max variability. A moderate correlation was found between the observed and predicted VO2max values in the taekwondo TST (r = 0.74, p = 0.001). Our results suggest that an incremental specific test estimates VO2max of elite taekwondo athletes with acceptable concurrent validity.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of free-weight and machine-based exercises to increase different strength and speed-strength variables. One hundred twenty male participants (age: 23.8 ± 2.5 years; body height: 181.0 ± 6.8 cm; body mass: 80.2 ± 8.9 kg) joined the study. The 2 experimental groups completed an 8 week periodized strength training program that included 2 training sessions per week. The exercises that were used in the strength training programs were the parallel barbell squat and the leg press. Before and after the training period, the 1-repetition-maximum in the barbell squat and the leg press, the squat jump, the countermovement jump and unilateral isometric force (maximal isometric force and the rate of force development) were evaluated. To compare each group pre vs. post-intervention, analysis of variance with repeated measures and Scheffé post-hoc tests were used. The leg press group increased their 1-repetition-maximum significantly (p < 0.001), while in the squat group such variables as 1-repetition-maximum, the squat jump and the countermovement jump increased significantly (p < 0.001). The maximal isometric force showed no statistically significant result for the repeated measures factor, while the rate of force development of the squat group even showed a statistically significant decrease. Differences between the 2 experimental groups were detected for the squat jump and the countermovement jump. In comparison with the leg press, the squat might be a better strength training exercise for the development of jump performance.
Game-Related Performance Factors in four European Men’s Professional Volleyball Championships
Authors: Peña Javier , Casals Martí 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The present study was designed to assess the relevance of game-related performance factors as outcome predictors in high-level volleyball. To carry out the analysis, the official box scores of 399 matches played by 47 different teams in four different European male professional volleyball leagues (Italy, Poland, Germany and Turkey) during the 2013-14 regular season were analyzed. A logistic mixed model was performed to determine the effects of different variables in matches’ outcomes. According to the multivariate analysis the following factors were significantly associated with winning matches: the number of scorers (OR = 1.32; CI: 1.09 – 1.59), service errors (OR = 0.91; CI: 0.87 – 0.95), service points (OR = 1.25; CI: 1.15 -1.36), reception errors (OR = 0.79; CI: 0.74 – 0.84), the percentage of positive receptions (OR = 1.02; CI: 1.00 -1.04) and blocked balls (OR = 1.17; CI: 1.11 – 1.26). Team category 2 (OR = 0.39; CI: 0.24 – 0.63) and team category 3 (OR = 0.15; CI: 0.09 – 0.25) were significantly associated with losing matches. These findings can contribute to a better understanding of performance indicators in professional volleyball, helping coaches and decision makers to better determine the importance of particular game factors.
Normative Authority in the Context of Transnationalism, Pluralism and Semi-Autonomous Social Fields: Focus on Arnhem Land
Authors: Kelly Danial 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe notion of a sovereign polity holding a monopoly over law that is followed within its jurisdictional borders is threatened by the phenomena of transnational law and normative pluralism. Authoritative norms can be highly influential upon legal processes within the borders of a polity. Those norms may be derived from other legal systems, religious or belief systems or a combination of both. In this era of globalization, normative pluralism exists as an everyday fact of life almost everywhere in the modern world. This article considers the normative pluralism that has been experienced in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia and the need to further develop the pluralism model of semi-autonomous social fields.
Mental Disorder and the Indirect Construction of Social Facts
Authors: van Riel Raphael 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper, I argue for two claims, (i) that on a common conception of the second order property of being a mental disorder, some facts about mental disorders are the result of social constructions, and (ii) that the way facts about mental disorders are constructed differs from the received view on social construction. The difference is examined, a novel type of social construction is identified, and it is suggested that there are numerous other types of social facts that are constructed in a similar way.
Outcome space range reduction method for global optimization of sum of affine ratios problem
Authors: Jiao Hongwei , Liu Sanyang , Yin Jingben , Zhao Yingfeng 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Many algorithms for globally solving sum of affine ratios problem (SAR) are based on equivalent problem and branch-and-bound framework. Since the exhaustiveness of branching rule leads to a significant increase in the computational burden for solving the equivalent problem. In this study, a new range reduction method for outcome space of the denominator is presented for globally solving the sum of affine ratios problem (SAR). The proposed range reduction method offers a possibility to delete a large part of the outcome space region of the denominators in which the global optimal solution of the equivalent problem does not exist, and which can be seen as an accelerating device for global optimization of the (SAR). Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm using new range reduction method in terms of both computational efficiency and solution quality.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing discipline with an expanding variety of indications and techniques in pediatric and adult patients. Accordingly, the number of procedures during which monitoring either under sedation or under general anesthesia is needed is increasing. In order to ensure high-quality care as well as patient comfort and safety, implementation of anes-thesiology practice guidelines in line with institutional radiology practice guidelines is paramount [1]. However, practice guidelines are no substitute for lack of communi-cation between specialties.
Interdisciplinary indications within neurosciences call for efficient co-operation among radiology, neurology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care. Anesthesia team and intensive care personnel should be informed early and be involved in coordinated planning so that optimal results can be achieved under minimized risks and pre-arranged complication management.
Exosomic microRNAs as emerging key regulators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment and beyond
Authors: Murtadha Mariam , Fabbri Muller 
Published: October 2016

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs with key gene regulatory functions. Recent evidence has shown that miRs have a central role in shaping the biology of the Tumor Microenvironment (TME). The discovery that some exosomes contain high levels of miR cargo that shuttle between cells and mediate intercellular cross-talk has shifted the focus of miR research towards understanding the biological role of exosomic miRs. In this review, we highlight the emerging role of exosomic miRs in molding the tumor microenvironment towards pro-tumor conditions by altering intercellular communication. We briefly discuss some mechanisms of selective loading of miRs into exosomes, as well as emerging evidence that exosomic miRs are present in all biological fluids. Furthermore, we describe the differences in the exosomic miR signatures between cancer patients and healthy controls, and the potential role of exosomic miRs as diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers.
Phase-space description of the coherent state dynamics in a small one-dimensional system

Published: October 2016

Abstract
The Wigner-Moyal approach is applied to investigate the dynamics of the Gaussian wave packet moving in a double-well potential in the ‘Mexican hat’ form. Quantum trajectories in the phase space are computed for different kinetic energies of the initial wave packet in the Wigner form. The results are compared with the classical trajectories. Some additional information on the dynamics of the wave packet in the phase space is extracted from the analysis of the cross-correlation of the Wigner distribution function with itself at different points in time.
Los retratos del conflicto en la película Oriana
Authors: Gasca Bazurto Luis Fernando 
Published: October 2016

<p>Los retratos en el filme Oriana (Torres, 1985) son signos del conflicto que manifiestan una forma de pensamiento que atraviesa a los personajes de la historia y desencadenan un desenlace fatal que los marca para toda la vida. Se analiza la película de Torres (1985) para identificar los signos, las fuerzas y tensiones que se manifiestan y que podrían explicar el porqué de los acontecimientos y el desenlace de la historia. Para ello, se propone la observación de dos retratos que se presentan en el filme. El primero es el retrato pictórico del padre, que se basa en la descripción que hace Moreno (1975), pero representado de una manera distinta y delimitado a un espacio diferente al que expone el texto literario. El segundo es la fotografía de la familia, que abre el filme y que es antecedida por el relato de los acontecimientos que acaecieron durante su registro. Los cuadros mencionados son signos que exponen relaciones de poder y dominio del padre sobre su familia, los cuales provocaron la trasgresión del orden instituido.</p>

POTENCIALIDADE DE ONÇA OU A DEMANDA DA PEDRA DO REINO
Authors: Pereira Marcos Paulo Torres 
Published: October 2016

O <em>Romance d’A Pedra do Reino e o Príncipe do Sangue do Vai-e-Volta,</em> de Ariano Suassuna, narra as desaventuranças de Pedro Dinis Ferreira-Quaderna, pretendente ao trono do Império do Brasil. O relato do romance é um mistério, uma charada a ser descoberta e Quaderna, como “O Decifrador”, torna-se responsável por compreender a paradoxal clara-obscuridade deste sertão, um sertão-mundo constituído pelos sete reinos que compõem o sertão Cariri. Entretanto, Quaderna requeria forças, requeria uma potencialidade de onça para realizar seu destino de sangue e de herança, para tanto necessitava realizar o <em>caminho do herói.</em> Este estudo busca analisar os<em> encontros</em> simbólicos que lhe apareceram no caminho e como estes lhe serviram à transformação de comum em herói de sua narrativa.<em> </em><em><br clear="all" /></em>
DO COSMOPOLITISMO AO COMPROMISSO ÉTICO: O EXÍLIO NA FICÇÃO DE ANTONIO MUÑOZ MOLINA
Authors: De Souza Ana Paula 
Published: October 2016

<p>Para Edward Said (2003, p. 46), o exílio é um tema recorrente na cultura moderna ocidental. Antonio Muñoz Molina (Úbeda, Espanha, 1956) não é um escritor exilado, mas o exílio, nos seus mais diversos desdobramentos, é uma constante em sua ficção. Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar como nos romances <em>Beatus Ille</em>, <em>El invierno en Lisboa</em>, <em>Beltenebros</em>, <em>El jinete polaco</em> e <em>La noche de los tiempos</em>, o autor provoca reflexões sobre o fenômeno psicossocial do exílio, abordando-o sob as mais diversas perspectivas: a negação da nacionalidade e a opção voluntária pelo exílio; o sentir-se eterno apátrida; o dilema da vida mantida em suspenso no entre lugar; o sentir-se acolhido na pátria em que se descobre o amor; o desejo de ser eterno estrangeiro e a constatação da impossibilidade de sê-lo; a contradição de se reconhecer estrangeiro no próprio país ante o esfacelamento da unidade nacional em identidades regionais. Após essa introdução panorâmica, este trabalho enfocará mais detidamente o romance <em>Sefarad</em>, uma obra construída a partir da memória dos exilados, na qual Muñoz Molina não apenas propõe reflexões sobre o exílio como fenômeno social resultante das experiências traumáticas do século XX, como também transforma o conceito em uma metáfora para representar outros dramas do homem contemporâneo. </p>
RESÍDUOS MEDIEVAIS EM RAQUEL NAVEIRA
Authors: Nascimento da Silva Leitão Mary 
Published: October 2016

<p> O poema “Burca”, inserido em <em>Portão de Ferro</em>, da escritora sul-mato-grossense Raquel Naveira, resgata a representação de uma mulher que negativamente venceu o tempo e persiste ainda na atualidade. Trata-se da figura daquela que vive aprisionada dentro de uma veste que em culturas fora do Brasil ainda encontram sentido de existência. Referida representação surge no poema de Raquel Naveira também de forma metaforizada, fazendo-nos resgatar a própria história da mulher ao longo dos tempos, em especial na Idade Média, em que o ser feminino, segundo Le Goff &amp; Truong (2014, p. 52), subordinava-se ao homem tanto no âmbito espiritual quanto no corporal. Tais ideias, tão propagadas na época, são frutos de uma concepção cristã, difundida através dos textos bíblicos. O estudo que possibilita identificar e compreender esses traços de <em>mentalidade </em>medieval presentes num texto atual diz respeito à <em>residualidade </em>(PONTES, 2015), teoria que sistematiza as noções de <em>resíduo, cristalização, hibridismo cultural </em>e <em>mentalidade, </em>mostrando a importância de elementos antigos que ultrapassam as barreiras do tempo e, vivos, influenciam na formação de “novas” culturas e de “novos” modos de pensar o mundo.</p>
