Teras merupakan ruang tambahan yang berfungsi untuk mewadahi aktivitas tambahanpenghuni rumah. Teras juga berperan sebagai ruang transisi yang bersifat publik. Pemakaianteras yang fleksibel merupakan salah satu alasan terbentuknya teras. Teritori teras dapattercipta dari pola perilaku penghuni yang melakukan kegiatan di teras yang berulang dankonstan. Lokasi penelitian berada di daerah pesisir kampung Bansir Laut, KecamatanPontianak tenggara, Kalimantan Barat. Topologi permukiman kampung Bansir yangmerupakan permukiman pinggiran sungai memiliki karakter permukiman yang dibangundiatas air. Teritori yang tidak jelas karena rumah yang didirikan berada diatas air merupakanalasan pemilik rumah membentuk suatu penanda atau batasan teritori rumahnya. Berdasarkanalasan tersebut dibentuklah teritori teras yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan mendukungaktivitas dalam teras. Permukiman kampung Bansir yang merupakan permukiman multi etnisdan berada di pesisir sungai, meciptakan pola perilaku yang khas dan dipengaruhi olehkeberadaan sungai Kapuas. Sehingga menciptakan karakteristik setting-setting tipe teras yangsama, namun memiliki fungsi teras yang berbeda. Penelitian ini hanya membahas khususterciptanya setting teritori teras yang dipengaruhi kebiasaan atau perilaku pemilik rumah danperuntukan teras sebagai ruang aktivitas tambahan. Dari hasil penelitian ini menghasilkandata mengenai karakteristik tipe setting teritori teras di pesisir sungai kampung Bansir The terrace is an additional space that serves to accommodate the additional residents. A flexible use of the terrace is one of the reasons for the formation of terraces. Territory patio can be created from the occupant behavior patterns that have activities in the patio repetitive and constant. The research location is at Bansir Laut village, sub-district of southeast Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Bansir village settlements topology which is a riverside settlement has the character of settlements built on the water. Territories that are not clearly established because the house is above the water is the reason homeowners form a boundary marker or their home territory. Based on these reasons, established territory of terrace tailored to the needs and support the activities of the terrace. Thus, creating the same characteristic of the porch/terrace setting, with a different function. This research only discusses the creation of setting that influenced by the habits or behaviors from the homeowners and the allocation of the terrace as an additional activity space. From the results of this study, it generates data on the characteristics of the territory setting type of the terraces at the river Bansir village

Background: Recent evidence suggests that glucosidase beta acid ( GBA) mutations predispose Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients to a greater burden of cognitive impairment and non-motor symptoms. This emerging knowledge has not yet been considered in patients who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS); a surgery that is generally contraindicated in those with cognitive deficits. Objective: To explore the long-term phenotypic progression of GBA-associated PD, in a DBS cohort. Methods: Thirty-four PD patients who had undergone DBS surgery between 2002 and 2011 were included in this study; 17 patients with GBA mutations were matched to 17 non-carriers. Clinical evaluation involved the administration of four assessments: The Mattis Dementia Rating Scale was used to assess cognitive function; non-motor symptoms were assessed using the Non-Motor Symptom Assessment Scale for PD; quality of life was measured using the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire; and motor symptoms were evaluated using part III of the Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, in on-medication/on-stimulation conditions. Levodopa equivalent doses (LED) and DBS settings were compared with clinical outcomes. Results: At a mean follow-up of 7.5 years after DBS, cognitive impairment was more prevalent (70% vs 19%) and more severe in GBA mutation carriers compared to non-carriers (60% vs 6% were severely impaired). Non-motor symptoms were also more severe and quality of life more impaired in GBA-associated PD. Motor symptoms, LED, and stimulation settings were not significantly different between groups at follow-up. Conclusions: GBA status appears to be an important predictor for non-motor symptom disease progression, after deep brain stimulation surgery.
The production of coherent narrative texts by older language impaired children
Authors: Tuch Sharon 
Published: August 2017

A group of 4 language-impaired children, 9 years old, and a group of 4 control children with no language problems were compared on an aspect of 'communicative competence' - their ability to produce coherent narrative texts (sequences of sentences) which were semantically coherent and appropriate to the situational context. A test was devised by the writer, comprising stories presented to the children through a number of sensory modalities. The narrative texts elicited from the 2 groups were compared on a number of measures of semantic cohesion and measures of general semantic content (or appropriateness to the situational context). The performance of the language-impaired children appeared to be inferior to the control group on all the measures of semantic cohesion and general semantic content , supporting the hypothesis that the language-impaired group would perform inferiorly to the control group on an aspect of 'communicative competence'. The implications of the study's findings for the diagnosis and treatment of expressive language problems in the older child were discussed.
'n Akoestiese ontleding van die glottale puls van sekere stempatologiese verskynsels
Authors: Groenewald Emily 
Published: August 2017

'n Uitgebreide akoestiese analise van die glottale golf-vorm van normale en patologiese stemme deur middel van 'n unieke opnametegniek en analiseproses is gedoen met die oog op 'n kritiese evaluering van die toepassingsmoontlikhede van die metode en inligting wat verkry kan word. By die ondersoek is 15 normale en 17 abnormale stemme betrek. Die abnormale groep sluit in toestande soos karsinoma, nodules, poliepe, papiloma, ventrikulere fonasie en stemlipverlammings. 'n Fluktuasiefaktor of afwykingsfaktor vir elke parameter in 5 fonasiewyses van elke afwykende stem is bepaal. Elke abnormale stem is individueel met die normale groep vergelyk en dit blyk dat die afwykingsfaktore verband hou met die graad en omvang van die patologie. Aanduidings bestaan dat daar tipiese resultate vii spesifieke patologiese toestande mag wees en dit blyk dat die metode beslis potensiele waarde inhou vir die objektiewe evaluering en beskrywing van die stem, sowel as hulpmiddel in stemterapie.

Selected acoustic characteristics of emerging esophageal speech: Case study
Authors: Binder Glenn 
Published: August 2017

The development of esophageal speech was examined in a laryngectomee subject to observe the emergence of selected acoustic characteristics, and their relation to listener intelligibility ratings. Over a two-and-a-half month period, the data from five recording sessions was used for spectrographic and perceptual (listener) analysis. There was evidence to suggest a fairly reliable correlation between emerging acoustic characteristics and increasing perceptual ratings. Acoustic factors coincident with increased intelligibility ratings appeared related to two dimensions: firstly, the increasing pseudoglottic control over esophageal air release; secondly the presence of a mechanism of pharyngeal compression. Increased pseudoglottic control manifested in a reduction of tracheo-esophageal turbulence, and a more efficient burping mode of vibration with clearer formant structure. Spectrographic evidence of a fundamental frequency did not emerge. These dimensions appeared to have potential diagnostic and therapeutic value, rendering an analysis of the patient's developing vocal performance more explicit for both clinician and patient.
'n Oudiovisuele analise van woordverdeelherhalings by hakkelaars
Authors: Van Wyk Maggi 
Published: August 2017

'n Oudiovisuele analise van woorddeelherhalings wat in spraakopnames van 18 hakkelaars voorgekom het, is gemaak. Hierdie gedragsvorm is 'n belangrike diagnostiese kriterium van hakkelspraak. Buiten die voorkomsfrekwensie is veral ook die aard en plek van voorkoms van onderbrekings belangrike faktore in die diagnose van hakkel. Kliniese waarnemings beklemtoon dat die woorddeelherhalings van hakkelaars van die van nie-hakkelaars onderskei kan word deur o.a. tempoverskille,onreelmatigheid, gebrek aan oorgangsformante, die gebruik van die schwa-vokaal en die voorkoms van benaderingsgedrag. Ouditiewe parameters asook spektrogramme is gebruik om die hipotese te bevestig dat die tempo van woorddeelherhalings verskil van die tempo waarteen die vloteenhede van spraak geuiter word. Ook is hierdie herhalings opmerklik onreelmatig en het die verlangde oorgangsformante nie by herhalingseenhede voorgekom nie. Dit is egter nie die schwavokaal wat gebruik word nie en dit is onwaarskynlik dat die herhalings dien as benadering tot die verlangde oorgang. Hierdie bevindings is van belang vir die differensiaaldiagnose tussen hakkelspraak en normale onvlotheid.
A markedness analysis of initial consonant clusters in Aphasic Phonological Impairment: A case study
Authors: Wolk Lesley 
Published: August 2017

The purpose of this study was to assess both the theoretical and clinical value of markedness theory in phonological impairment in aphasia. A markedness analysis was carried out on initial consonant clusters in a single aphasic adult, at two points during the spontaneous recovery phase. Results revealed systematic, rule-governed behaviour, reflecting similar linguistic trends, in terms of natural segments and natural processes, on both testing occasions. Some inadequacies of the distinctive feature approach are discussed. The findings of this study suggest that a markedness analysis may be extremely useful for the analysis and treatment of phonological disorders in aphasia.
A neuropsychological approach to the study of gesture and pantomime in aphasa
Authors: Kadish Jocelyn 
Published: August 2017

The impairment of gesture and pantomime in aphasia was examined from a neuropsychological perspective. The Boston Diagnostic Test of Aphasia, Luria's Neuro-psychological Investigation, Pickett's Tests for gesture and pantomime and the Performance Scale of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale were administered to six aphasic subjects with varying etiology and severity. Results indicated that severity of aphasia was positively related to severity of gestural disturbance; gestural ability was associated with verbal and non-linguistic aspects of ability, within receptive and expressive levels respectively; performance on gestural tasks was superior to that on verbal tasks irrespective of severity of aphasia; damage to Luria's second and third functional brain units were positively related to deficits in receptive and expressive gesture respectively; no relationship was found between seventy of general intellectual impairment and gestural deficit. It was concluded that the gestural impairment may best be understood as a breakdown in complex sequential manual motor activity. Theoretical and therapeutic implications were discussed.
Ouditiewe aandag by die voorskoolse kind
Authors: Niemand Elmarie 
Published: August 2017

Daar is met hierdie navorsingsprojek gepoog om 'n duidelike beeld te vorm van ouditiewe aandagsprosessering by die voorskoolse kind. Aangesien ouditiewe aandagsprosessering van groot belang is vir die kind wat skool toe gaan is daar op die groep wat in die daaropvolgende jaar skool toe gaan besluit. 'n Groep van 64 kinders is geselekteer. Daar is gebruik gemaak van 'n gegradeerde ouditiefgerigte ondersoekprogram wat so saamgestel is dat dit wetenskaplik verantwoordbaar is. In sy geheel gesien dui die navorsingsresultate daarop dat die basiese ontwikkelingsproses van ouditiewe aandagsprosessering op hierdie ouderdom (5;2 tot 5;8) voltooi is. 'n Verdere evaluering van die resultate in terme van die uiteengesette doelstellings van die navorsingsprojek dui daarop dat kinders in hierdie ouderdomsgroep nog soms moeite ondervind om aan 'n ouditiewe sei binne omgewingslawaai aandag te skenk. Bekende seine verhoog die vermoë om aandag te skenk. Daar kon egter nie vir alle aannames wat in die literatuur gemaak word, bewys gevind word nie.
The communicative abilities of mild mental retardates
Authors: Bluestone Ruth 
Published: August 2017

The interpersonal communicative abilities of five mild mental retardates are investigated and described. One test of interpersonal communication was chosen from the literature. In the test situation, the experimenter taught each subject/speaker how to play a simple board game. Each speaker then taught the game to a listener of similar mental age. The channels of communication, both verbal and nonverbal, used by the speakers to explain the game items, were determined. The speakers' speech style (productivity, vocabulary and utterance structure) was evaluated qualitatively. Results indicated that all the speakers used both verbal and nonverbal communication behaviours to explain the rules of the game. Unlike the experimenter, the speakers utilized nonverbal behaviours (pointing and manipulation of the game material) as a distinct mode of communication. The speakers used an egocentric speech style and they all, unlike the experimenter, used speech to help the listener play the game correctly. The communicative ability of the speakers was not found to be commensurate with their mental ages and it was postulated that their inferior cognitive abilites predisposed them to use both primitive nonverbal behaviours and an egocentric speech style.

Published: August 2017

Abstract. Extreme weather conditions like heatwaves and drought can substantially affect tree physiology and the emissions of isoprene. To date, however, there is only limited understanding of isoprene emission patterns during prolonged heat stress and next to no data on emission patterns during coupled heat–drought stress or during post-stress recovery. We studied gas exchange and isoprene emissions of black locust trees under episodic heat stress and in combination with drought. Heatwaves were simulated in a controlled greenhouse facility by exposing trees to outside temperatures +10 °C, and trees in the heat–drought treatment were supplied with half of the irrigation water given to heat and control trees. Leaf gas exchange of isoprene, CO2 and H2O was quantified using self-constructed, automatically operating chambers, which were permanently installed on leaves (n = 3 per treatment). Heat and combined heat–drought stress resulted in a sharp decline of net photosynthesis (Anet) and stomatal conductance. Simultaneously, isoprene emissions increased 6- to 8-fold in the heat and heat–drought treatment, which resulted in a carbon loss that was equivalent to 12 and 20 % of assimilated carbon at the time of measurement. Once temperature stress was released at the end of two 15-day-long heatwaves, stomatal conductance remained reduced, while isoprene emissions and Anet recovered quickly to values of the control trees. Further, we found that isoprene emissions covaried with Anet during nonstress conditions, while during the heatwaves, isoprene emissions were not related to Anet but to light and temperature. Under standard air temperature and light conditions (here 30 °C and photosynthetically active radiation of 500 µmol m−2 s−1), isoprene emissions of the heat trees were by 45 % and the heat–drought trees were by 27 % lower than in control trees. Moreover, temperature response curves showed that not only the isoprene emission factor changed during both heat and heat–drought stress, but also the shape of the response. Because introducing a simple treatment-specific correction factor could not reproduce stress-induced isoprene emissions, different parameterizations of light and temperature functions are needed to describe tree isoprene emissions under heat and combined heat–drought stress. In order to increase the accuracy of predictions of isoprene emissions in response to climate extremes, such individual stress parameterizations should be introduced to current BVOC models.
IMAGENS E ESTEREÓTIPOS NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA VISÃO DO BRASIL NOS ANOS 1950.
Authors: Meyrer Marlise Regina 
Published: August 2017

O trabalho constitui-se na análise das fotorreportagens veiculadas na revista O Cruzeiro na década de 1950, como construtoras e difusoras de uma determinada identidade nacional no período. Para tal propósito, partimos do princípio de que a fotorreportagem tem como eixo central do discurso a imagem fotográfica - que passa a ter o mesmo valor do texto verbal - , sendo assim, uma importante fonte para pesquisa histórica, na medida em que ela relativiza o predomínio do texto escrito, possibilitando outras visões sobre o tema, ampliando o leque de possibilidades de interpretação através do processo dialético entre o texto verbal e o visual.
REFLEXOS DA IDEIA ARISTOTÉLICA DE BEM NO LIVRO DOS CASTIGOS DEL REY SANCHO IV
Authors: Rui Adailson José , De Oliveira Paulo César 
Published: August 2017

Apresentamos a utilização da idéia do “Bem” definida por Aristóteles na obra Ética a Nicómaco como suporte utilizado pelos autores do livro Castigos del Rey Sancho IV para definir e apresentar as funções do Príncipe Cristão. O livro dos Castigos del Rey Sancho IV foi concluído em Castela por volta de 1293. Trata-se de um espelho de príncipe, no qual os autores usaram o monólogo como instrumento de persuasão. O pai, no caso Sancho IV, rei de Leão e Castela de 1284 a 1295 ensina ao filho, o futuro Fernando IV 1295-1312 a maneira como deverá se comportar diante das mais diferentes situações, sempre tendo como propósito a condução de si, e de seus súditos em direção ao bem maior. Fazendo uso de exemplos, o pai apresenta ao filho o caminho a ser trilhado. Por meio dessa estratégia, os autores da obra adéquam o pensamento de Aristóteles de forma a sustentar a função do príncipe como guia de seus súditos em direção a Deus, função a ser desempenhada pelo monarca cristão.

Published: August 2017

Purpose Currently, the foreign surfaces of various extracorporeal circulation devices are coated with a biocompatible polymer coating agent (BPA), which creates a hydrophilic blood-contacting layer to reduce thrombogenicity, while the membranes in hemodialyzers are not. We aimed to clarify other side effects of BPA-coated membranes by examining the diffusion performance in in vitro experiments. Methods We used a polyethersulfone membrane (sieving coefficient of albumin is ≤0.01) coated with BPA product, SEC-1™ (Toyobo), in a hemodialyzer. To estimate the diffusion rates of a wide range of molecules, 2 L of saline containing vancomycin, lysozyme, and albumin were recirculated in the circuit configured with a hemodialyzer, and dialyzed continuously using water. The concentrations of sodium, vancomycin, lysozyme, and albumin were measured every 5 minutes for 30 minutes and compared in experiments with BPA-coated (n = 4) and BPA-noncoated (n = 4) membranes. Results The removal rates of sodium and vancomycin after 5 minutes of dialysis (n = 24) were significantly higher in BPA-coated than noncoated membranes, while those of lysozyme and albumin were not significantly different. The removal rates of sodium and vancomycin after 30 minutes of dialysis (n = 4) were significantly higher, and those of lysozyme were significantly lower in BPA-coated than noncoated membranes, while those of albumin were not significantly different. Conclusions The preliminary study suggests that BPA-coated membranes enhanced the diffusion rate of molecules with low and middle molecular weight without affecting the sieving coefficient of albumin. Thus, BPA coating can enhance the dialysis performance of membranes.

Published: August 2017

Background In recent years, excisional surgery has been questioned as an ideal surgical approach for endometriomas because it is associated with potential removal of healthy ovarian tissue and loss of ovarian follicles with subsequent reduction of ovarian reserve. The aim of our study was to evaluate the benefits of CO2 laser vaporization through a clinical trial assessing the postoperative changes in ovarian reserve as indicated by antral follicle count (AFC) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Materials and Methods Fifteen patients undergoing surgery for primary unilateral or bilateral symptomatic endometriomas were enrolled in the study. During surgery, the cystic lining was completely vaporized with CO2 laser fiber (AcuPulse Duo system, Lumenis); before surgery and at 1 and 3 months after surgery, ovarian reserve was evaluated by pelvic ultrasound to determine the AFC, and blood sample to determine AMH levels. Results The AFC of the operated ovary was significantly increased after treatment at 1 and 3 months' follow-up (p = 0.0021; p = 0.005, respectively); the increase is particularly significant in women younger than 35 years (p = 0.012). No statistically significant changes were reported in serum AMH concentrations at 1 or 3 months' follow-up. No recurrences of symptoms and no recurrences of endometrioma were reported. Conclusions These data support the hypothesis that endometrioma vaporization with CO2 laser fiber may be a valid method to preserve ovarian function; however, further studies are required before advocating the routine use of CO2 laser vaporization for the management of ovarian endometriosis.
