An Inclusive Youth Orchestra: Pedagogy, Pastoral Care and Performance
Authors: Tsaklagkanou Lina (Athanasia-Angelikí) , Creech Andrea 
Published: July 2016

The inspiration for this study was a ‘critical incident’ that followed the annual end-of-course concert of the National Orchestra for All (NOFA), a non-auditioned, El Sistema inspired orchestra open to young players of all standards who face barriers in music making. The study examines the perceived features of the inclusive environment of the orchestra and the processes that mediated the diversity of the ensemble and which were significant in assisting the participants to achieve a high level of musical cohesiveness. In particular, it examines the features of pedagogy, pastoral care and performance during the residential orchestral course. NOFA's main experience happens during a four-day summer residential course, which has intensive rehearsal schedules, sectional work and whole orchestra, culminating in a final concert. This case study draws information from an ethnographic perspective through observations, reflections as a participant observer, focus groups and interviews. Findings suggested that the pedagogy was focused in the group as a whole, promoted collaboration between all involved and fostered motivation for personal mastery in order to support a collective effort. Pastoral care features such as care, safety, structure and freedom, represented a familylike world. Participants felt, excited, nervous and proud during the performance, which had a high level of musical cohesiveness as a perceived result of the collective energy made from individual effort.

Between Exodus and the Final Judgment: “Sertaneja” Worldview and the Trajectory of Antonio Conselheiro’s Belo Monte (Brazil, 1893–1897)
Authors: Vasconcellos Pedro Lima , de Souza Nogueira Paulo Augusto 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The present paper presupposes (developed under the scope of Semiotics and Cultural Studies) that texts in culture are endowed not only with their capacity to produce images but mainly to create new messages. As texts are transmitted to receivers in different times, places and repertoires, they undergo processes of recodification and become new texts by inserting dynamism in cultural processes. Furthermore, it must be taken into account that texts do not exist isolated, without relation with other texts. On the contrary, the possible combinations among them are potentially the most unexpected. Those references allow us to think about the creative role of the reception of biblical elements in the articulation of identities and narratives in history. And a special challenge is imposed: considering the Bible’s popular reception. It is necessary to take into consideration specific scenarios and, simultaneously, the dynamic scenarios of the same reception. It is important to overcome prejudice regarding the sources that lead us to that reception. At the Belo Monte of Antonio Conselheiro, stage of one of the most significant social and religious experiences, and, at the end, one of the bloodiest experiences of Brazilian history, the Bible’s new readings link many of its themes to references coming from other mythological worlds of African origin and (mainly) of indigenous matrix. The myth of the flight into Egypt and the conquest of the Promised Land were linked to others connected with abundance and freedom. The biblical concept of the Antichrist played a significant role in the sertanejo’s understanding about the social and the political environment: Belo Monte was the place where salvation could be perceived and the body could be fed and healed. And the perspective of the imminent end of the world became more intense when military operations, through a brutal war, acted in order to destroy the holy village: biblical references supported ideas that encouraged resistance movement and prepared the “death in the Lord,” martyrdom, under Judgment Day expectation.
Mystical Unification or Ethnic Domination? American Biblical Archeologists’ Responses to the Six-Day War
Authors: Sherrard Brooke 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
After the Six-Day War, members of the American Schools of Oriental Research experienced conflict over how and whether to maintain the organization’s policy on political neutrality. This article argues that ASOR members who supported Israel framed their views as theological, lauding the war for achieving a mystical unification of Jerusalem, while members who opposed the war’s outcome responded that appeals to theology and neutrality were being deployed to justify one ethnic group’s domination over another. I present two main examples, George Ernest Wright and Paul Lapp, and connect their scholarly views on objectivity versus relativism to their political views on the conflict. Wright, a biblical theologian, argued the Old Testament was an objective record of a religion revealed by God to the Israelites and defended the slaughter of Canaanites in terms that echoed justifications for Palestinian displacement. Conversely Lapp, who read the Old Testament as a polemical text, overtly connected his perspectivalism to his pro-Palestinian politics. In 1968 Wright clashed with ASOR residents, including Lapp, who protested Israeli plans to reroute a parade through recently captured areas of East Jerusalem. A reading of the correspondence record created after the protest analyzes the political implications of these differing scholarly positions.
Gog and Magog in Literary Reception History: The Persistence of the Fantastic
Authors: Swindell Anthony C. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractOf all biblical topoi within the repertoire of Western culture, the Gog and Magog narratives have a presence in literary reception history that far outweighs their slender beginnings. They tend also to be an alien element in the metanarratives in which they occur. Even in their earliest biblical manifestation, the ‘Go’ narratives seem to have been grafted onto an existing text. Almost always, their use implies the recovery of the archaic as a means of replenishing or revitalizing present culture. At the same time they persistently signal the phenomenon of the unassimilable in human experience. The topos of Gog of the land of Magog in Ezekiel 38–39 modulates into the twin apocalyptic figures of Gog and Magog of Revelation 20:8–9. Later they become part of the conceptualization of the cultural Other, the uncivilized hordes which must be kept at bay. In European literature they assume a plastic form as representations of what is excluded from culture. In British literature (with which we will be chiefly concerned) they occupy an ambiguous position as figures of the defeated paganism which Christianity has replaced and yet as symbols of a hopeful or whimsical alterity which resists the language, the hegemonic discourse, of the status quo.
On Frequency Combs in Monolithic Resonators

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Optical frequency combs have become indispensable in astronomical measurements, biological fingerprinting, optical metrology, and radio frequency photonic signal generation. Recently demonstrated microring resonator-based Kerr frequency combs point the way towards chip scale optical frequency comb generator retaining major properties of the lab scale devices. This technique is promising for integrated miniature radiofrequency and microwave sources, atomic clocks, optical references and femtosecond pulse generators. Here we present Kerr frequency comb development in a historical perspective emphasizing its similarities and differences with other physical phenomena. We elucidate fundamental principles and describe practical implementations of Kerr comb oscillators, highlighting associated solved and unsolved problems.
Optical diagnostics of a single evaporating droplet using fast parallel computing on graphics processing units

Published: July 2016

AbstractWe report on the first application of the graphics processing units (GPUs) accelerated computing technology to improve performance of numerical methods used for the optical characterization of evaporating microdroplets. Single microdroplets of various liquids with different volatility and molecular weight (glycerine, glycols, water, etc.), as well as mixtures of liquids and diverse suspensions evaporate inside the electrodynamic trap under the chosen temperature and composition of atmosphere. The series of scattering patterns recorded from the evaporating microdroplets are processed by fitting complete Mie theory predictions with gradientless lookup table method. We showed that computations on GPUs can be effectively applied to inverse scattering problems. In particular, our technique accelerated calculations of the Mie scattering theory on a single-core processor in a Matlab environment over 800 times and almost 100 times comparing to the corresponding code in C language. Additionally, we overcame problems of the time-consuming data post-processing when some of the parameters (particularly the refractive index) of an investigated liquid are uncertain. Our program allows us to track the parameters characterizing the evaporating droplet nearly simultaneously with the progress of evaporation.

OBJECTIVES:
The overall safety profile of the 9-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine was evaluated across 7 Phase III studies, conducted in males and females (nonpregnant at entry), 9 to 26 years of age.

METHODS:
Vaccination was administered as a 3-dose regimen at day 1, and months 2 and 6. More than 15 000 subjects received ≥1 dose of 9vHPV vaccine. In 2 of the studies, &gt;7000 control subjects received ≥1 dose of quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine. Serious and nonserious adverse events (AEs) and new medical conditions were recorded throughout the study. Subjects testing positive for pregnancy at day 1 were not vaccinated; those who became pregnant after day 1 were discontinued from further vaccination until resolution of the pregnancy. Pregnancies detected after study start (n = 2950) were followed to outcome.

RESULTS:
The most common AEs (≥5%) experienced by 9vHPV vaccine recipients were injection-site AEs (pain, swelling, erythema) and vaccine-related systemic AEs (headache, pyrexia). Injection-site AEs were more common in 9vHPV vaccine than qHPV vaccine recipients; most were mild-to-moderate in intensity. Discontinuations and vaccine-related serious AEs were rare (0.1% and &lt;0.1%, respectively). Seven deaths were reported; none were considered vaccine related. The proportions of pregnancies with adverse outcome were within ranges reported in the general population.

CONCLUSIONS:
The 9vHPV vaccine was generally well tolerated in subjects aged 9 to 26 years with an AE profile similar to that of the qHPV vaccine; injection-site AEs were more common with 9vHPV vaccine. Its additional coverage and safety profile support widespread 9vHPV vaccination.

Published: July 2016

Conciliar a longevidade com uma vida autónoma e independente constitui um importante objetivo ligado ao envelhecimento da população. Isso mesmo foi assumido pela OMS (2002) ao considerar o envelhecimento ativo como o principal objetivo das políticas direcionadas para os idosos. Partindo do conceito de envelhecimento ativo (EA) utilizado pela OMS foi analisada a funcionalidade das pessoas idosas, a sua relação com os determinantes do envelhecimento ativo e construído um modelo de envelhecimento ativo para uma amostra de idosos residentes na comunidade. Métodos: foram entrevistadas 306 pessoas idosas residentes na comunidade, através de um protocolo de avaliação, para analisar os determinantes do envelhecimento ativo. Resultados: o modelo de Envelhecimento Ativo para a população do distrito de Castelo Branco, é constituído por 6 fatores: componente psicológica, saúde subjetiva, relações familiares, funcionalidade, satisfação com os serviços e relações com amigos, explicando 65,9% da variância total: Conclusão: a maioria dos elementos revela um elevado grau de funcionalidade, o que traduz a independência na realização de grande parte das atividades da vida diária. Apresentam maior nível de dependência, em todas as componentes, os indivíduos mais idosos. A principal componente do modelo de envelhecimento ativo é a componente psicológica, explicando 30,9% da variância total.

Published: July 2016

A presente investigação foi dividida em dois estudos e teve como base conceptual o Modelo de Inteligência Emocional de Mayer e Salovey (1997). No primeiro estudo procurou traduzir e adaptarse para a população portuguesa o Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile - short version (WEIPS) (Jordan & Lawrence, 2009) e avaliar a sua consistência interna e constância temporal. No segundo estudo, o objetivo foi avaliar a dimensionalidade (como medida aproximada de validade fatorial), a validade de critério, pela comparação concorrente com um instrumento paralelo já validado para Portugal (Trait Meta-Mood Scale - TMMS24 - Queiroz et al. (2005)) e verificar novamente o comportamento da consistência interna. Após o primeiro estudo, o WEIP-S passou a designar-se PIEGT16 (Perfil de Inteligência Emocional do Grupo de Trabalho - 16 itens). A amostra do primeiro estudo foi constituída por 150 participantes e a do segundo estudo por 369 participantes, todos jogadores de futebol. Em relação ao estudo 1, foram obtidos bons valores de consistência interna e foi demonstrada a constância temporal do instrumento, uma vez obtidas correlações significativas entre o teste e o reteste. No que diz respeito ao estudo 2, foi extraída uma solução tetra-fatorial com um agrupamento de itens igual à versão original (Jordan & Lawrence, 2009). Quanto à validade de critério concorrente, embora relativamente baixas, as correlações entre as duas formas assumiram significado estatístico, denotando validade de critério. A consistência interna manteve, neste segundo estudo, valores dentro do recomendado. Os resultados demonstraram que a versão portuguesa do WEIP-S, agora designado por PIEGT16, possui boas características psicométricas.

<p>As características intrínsecas às escolas se correlacionam diretamente com a qualidade do capital humano por elas formado, o que torna o<br />estudo destas propriedades parte fundamental no processo de universalização do ensino básico no Brasil. Na presente pesquisa, quatorze variáveis de 2177 escolas de ensino médio de Minas Gerais foram submetidas à técnica de Análise Fatorial Exploratória, o que permitiu a extração de quatro fatores (variáveis latentes) que as caracterizaram. O primeiro fator agregou características de dimensão física, o segundo e quarto fatores agregaram características infraestruturais, enquanto o terceiro fator agrupou variáveis relativas à qualificação do corpo docente e discente. A composição fatorial, analisada segundo localização da escola em espaço rural ou urbano, revelou que escolas rurais estão muito aquém quanto à infraestrutura básica, como esgotamento, coleta de lixo e fornecimento de água por rede pública. Por outro lado, observa-se menores discrepâncias quanto às autarquias municipal e estadual. Escolas municipais são maiores e têm melhor capacitação do capital humano, enquanto as estaduais são mais qualificadas estruturalmente.</p>
