Lexical Preactivation in Basic Linguistic Phrases
Authors: Fruchter Joseph , Linzen Tal , Westerlund Masha , Marantz Alec 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Many previous studies have shown that predictable words are read faster and lead to reduced neural activation, consistent with a model of reading in which words are activated in advance of being encountered. The nature of such preactivation, however, has typically been studied indirectly through its subsequent effect on word recognition. Here, we use magnetoencephalography to study the dynamics of prediction within serially presented adjective–noun phrases, beginning at the point at which the predictive information is first available to the reader. Using corpus transitional probability to estimate the predictability of a noun, we found an increase in activity in the left middle temporal gyrus in response to the presentation of highly predictive adjectives (i.e., adjectives that license a strong noun prediction). Moreover, we found that adjective predictivity and expected noun frequency interacted, such that the response to the highly predictive adjectives (e.g., stainless) was modulated by the frequency of the expected noun (steel). These results likely reflect preactivation of nouns in highly predictive contexts. The fact that the preactivation process was modulated by the frequency of the predicted item is argued to provide support for a frequency-sensitive lexicon.

Abstract
Here we provide novel convergent evidence across three independent cohorts of healthy adults (n = 531), demonstrating that a common polymorphism in the gene encoding the α2 subunit of neuronal voltage-gated type II sodium channels (SCN2A) predicts human general cognitive ability or “g.” Using meta-analysis, we demonstrate that the minor T allele of a common polymorphism (rs10174400) in SCN2A is associated with significantly higher “g” independent of gender and age. We further demonstrate using resting-state fMRI data from our discovery cohort (n = 236) that this genetic advantage may be mediated by increased capacity for information processing between the dorsolateral PFC and dorsal ACC, which support higher cognitive functions. Collectively, these findings fill a gap in our understanding of the genetics of general cognitive ability and highlight a specific neural mechanism through which a common polymorphism shapes interindividual variation in “g.”
“The One Raised in Ornament?” Gendering Issues in the Qurʾan
Authors: al-Khawaldeh Samira 
Published: May 2015

This paper presents a hermeneutic re-reading of the Qurʾanic Verses 43: 15–19 in the Chapter of Ornament (Surah al-Zukhruf), aiming to excavate the original interrogative nature of the Qurʾanic approach to woman’s positioning, and to expose the accumulative narratives that collapse the ontological into the cultural, reflecting negatively on the community. The paper argues against the assumption that the verses’ telos is to describe and prescribe; evidencing instead their critical and reproving tone.
The tripartite methodology followed comprises a morphological analysis; a historical investigation that uncovers the regressive stance of authoritative exegetical texts; and a comparative overture, juxtaposing the Qurʾanic pronouncements with parallel modern concepts, revealing that the problems confronting women are of a persistent nature. Ultimately, the paper questions the authenticity of the self-image engrained in the consciousness of a majority of Muslim women and based on inherited parochialisms rather than rigorous application of critical thinking.
Early Years of British Administration in Cyprus
Authors: Bouleti Eleni 
Published: May 2015

The transition of the Ottoman Muslim community of Cyprus from the status of a religious community—and even more so the ruling community of the island—to that of a national community presents a peculiar case, since that process evolved without any direct effect by Turkish nationalism. After the Cyprus Convention in 1878, the administration of the island was all British and was organized on a strict colonial basis.
Since nationalism was formed in Cyprus along communal lines, an attempt is made to trace the contribution of the colonial regime to their formation. More specifically an effort is made to present communal attempts to redefine traditional religious institutions in order to neutralize the British colonial control over them. In that context religion through its institutions assumed a secular and nationalistic scope.

Lactarius subgenus Russularia is a dominant group of milkcaps in Southeast Asia. This paper reveals the large diversity of the subgenus, with eight new species and one known species being described from montane evergreen and coniferous forests. All new species are supported by both morphological and molecular data, the latter using Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis based on the ITS region. Complete macro- and micro-morphological descriptions and illustrations are given. A key to the new taxa is provided. Lactarius chichuensis is reported for the first time from Thailand.
In situ Raman spectroscopic studies of FeS2 pyrite up to 675 K and 2100 MPa using a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell
Authors: Yuan Xueyin , Zheng Haifei 
Published: May 2015

AbstractRaman scattering experiments of natural FeS2 pyrite were performed at simultaneous high-pressure and high-temperature conditions up to 675 K and 2100 MPa using a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell combined with micro-Raman spectroscopy. Four out of five Raman active modes [Eg, Ag, Tg(1) and Tg(3)] were resolved at ambient conditions, the remaining Tg(2) [∼377 cm–1] mode was weak and unresolved occurring ∼2 cm–1 from the intense Ag [379 cm–1] mode. The frequency shifts of the Eg [343 cm–1] and Ag [379 cm–1] modes were determined to be quadratic functions of pressure and temperature: ν343 = 343.35 – 0.0178 × ΔT – 8.4E – 6 × (ΔT)2 + 0.00367 × Δp 3.7E–7 × (Δp)2 + 1.0E–6 × ΔT × Δp and ν379 = 379.35 – 0.0295 × ΔT – 9.0E–6 × (ΔT)2 + 0.00460 × Δp – 5.3E–7 × (Δp)2 + 7.0E–7 × ΔT × Δp. The positive pressure dependence of both modes indicates stress-induced contraction of S–S and Fe–S bonds, whereas the negative temperature dependence shows temperature-induced expansion of them. The Raman spectra of pyrite were used to derive its bulk modulus at high temperatures, thermal expansion coefficient at high pressures and anharmonic parameters at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.

Published: May 2015

Abstract'Clinobarylite', BaBe2Si2O7, was defined as a monoclinic dimorph of orthorhombic barylite. Subsequently, its crystal structure was also proved to be orthorhombic, differing from barylite in terms of the space group symmetry,Pmn21instead ofPmnb, and in unit-cell dimensions. Through the order-disorder (OD) theory, the polytypic relationships between 'clinobarylite' and barylite are described. 'Clinobarylite' corresponds to the MDO1polytype, with unit-cell parametersa= 11.650,b= 4.922,c= 4.674 Å, space groupPmn21; barylite corresponds to the MDO2polytype, witha= 11.67,b= 9.82,c= 4.69 Å, space groupPmnb. The re-examination of the holotype specimen of 'clinobarylite' confirmed its orthorhombic symmetry. Its crystal structure has been refined starting from the atomic coordinates calculated for the MDO1polytype and the refinement converged to R1= 0.0144 for 929 observed reflections [Fo> 4σFo]. Owing to their polytypic relationships, 'clinobarylite' and barylite should be conveniently indicated as barylite-1Oand barylite-2O, respectively; the name 'clinobarylite' should be discontinued. This new nomenclature of the barylite polytypes has been approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA 13-E).
Structural intergrowth of merlinoite/phillipsite and its temperature-dependent dehydration behaviour: a single-crystal X-ray study
Authors: Danisi Rosa Micaela , Armbruster Thomas , Nagashima Mariko 
Published: May 2015

AbstractSupposed 'merlinoite' crystals from Monte Somma, Vesuvius (Italy) and Fosso Attici, north of Rome (Italy) represent highly twinned coherent intergrowths between merlinoite and phillipsite on a submicroscopic level. The MER (Immm, a ≈ 14.1, b ≈ 14.2, c ≈ 9.9 Å) and PHI (P 21/m, a ≈ 9.9, b ≈ 14.3, c ≈ 8.7 Å, β = 124.8°) frameworks of similar composition are assembled from identical tetrahedral units, though with a different connectivity. Coherent intergrowth and twinning of the two frameworks lead to P42/mnm pseudosymmetry, which is diagnostic of the intergrowth. Under ambient conditions merlinoite has Immm symmetry or I4/mmm if twinned. a low-symmetry model of space group P121/m1 (a ≈ 14.2, b ≈ 14.2, c ≈ 10 Å, β = 90°) allows structure refinement and quantification of the two frameworks.Upon in situ dehydration to 250°C the evolution of the unit-cell volume of the Monte Somma merlinoite/phillipsite intergrowth displays an intermediate trend between previously studied pure merlinoite from the Khibiny massif (Russia) and Ba-rich phillipsite.The Monte Somma crystal studied by temperature-dependent single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods also contained a subordinate chabazite inclusion with no coherent structural relationship to the merlinoite/phillipsite framework. Thus, the modification of the chabazite framework on dehydration could also be studied.

Published: May 2015

AbstractThe new mineral geschieberite (IMA2014-006), K2(UO2)(SO4)2(H2O)2, was found in the Svornost mine, Jáchymov, Czech Republic, where it occurs as a secondary alteration phase after uraninite in association with adolfpateraite and gypsum. Geschieberite forms crystalline aggregates of bright green colour (when thick) composed of multiply intergrown prismatic crystals elongated on [001] typically reaching 0.1–0.2 mm across; observable forms are {010} and {001}. Crystals are translucent to transparent with a vitreous lustre. The mineral is brittle, with perfect cleavage on {100} and an uneven fracture. It has a greenish-white streak and a probable Mohs hardness of ∼2. The mineral is slightly soluble in cold H2O. The calculated density is 3.259 g cm–3. The mineral exhibits strong yellowish-green fluorescence under both shortwave and longwave UV radiation. Optically, geschieberite is biaxial (–), with β = 1.596(2) and γ = 1.634(4) (measured at 590 nm), with X = a. Electron-microprobe analyses provided Na2O 0.23, K2O 14.29, MgO 2.05, CaO 0.06, UO349.51, SO327.74, H2O 6.36 (structure), total 100.24 wt.%, yielding the empirical formula (K1.72Mg0.29Na0.04Ca0.01)Σ2.06(U0.98O2)(S0.98O4)2(H2O)2based on 12 O atoms per formula unit. The Raman spectrum is dominated by the symmetric stretching vibrations of UO22+, SO42–and weaker O–H stretching vibrations. Geschieberite is orthorhombic,Pna21, with a = 13.7778(3), b = 7.2709(4), c = 11.5488(2) Å, V = 1156.92(7) Å3, Z = 4. The eight strongest powder X-ray diffraction lines are [dobsin Å(hkl) Irel]: 6.882 (200) 100, 5.622 (111) 53, 4.589 (211) 12, 4.428 (202) 16, 3.681 (311) 18, 3.403 (013) 12, 3.304 (401,1̄13) 15 and 3.006 (122) 17. The structure, refined to R = 0.028 for 1882 I > 3σ(I) reflections, contains [(UO2)(SO4)2(H2O)]2–sheets that are based on the protasite anion topology. Sheets are stacked perpendicular to a. Potassium atoms and one H2O molecule are located between these sheets, providing an interlayer linkage. The remaining H2O molecule is localized within the structural unit, at the free vertex of the uranyl pentagonal bipyramid; this vertex does not link to sulfate tetrahedra. The mineral is named for one of the most important ore veins in Jáchymov – the Geschieber vein.
Preparation of Core–Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles with a High Content of Carboxy Groups by Polarity-regulating Molecular Self-assembly
Authors: Liu Hongbing , Zhong Guolun 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
In this work, a new technique of polarity-regulating molecular self-assembly was used for fabricating core–shell magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with a high content of carboxy groups. First, Fe3O4 NPs with hydrophobic surfaces were prepared. Then the NPs were dispersed in a medium of water and suspended for the procedure of the molecular self-assembly of 4-vinylbenzoic acid. In this case, the molecules might move towards the surfaces of hydrophobic NPs in manner of carboxy groups outwards. After that, in situ polymerization was initiated and poly(4-vinylbenzoic acid) was formed around the surfaces of Fe3O4 NPs. Core–shell magnetic NPs with a high content of carboxy groups were fabricated. The prepared NPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and conductivity titration.

Published: May 2015

<p>Em tempos de crise internacional as empresas buscam atrair consumidores adotando algumas estratégias para garantir a sobrevivência. Muitas vezes, no âmbito do marketing, a liquidação de produtos via promoção de preços baixos é uma das ações implantadas, até mesmo pelas organizações que atuam no segmento da moda. No entanto, diferentemente dessa “onda” de oferecer descontos, a Louis Vuitton segue a estratégia de não baixar os preços, mas a de explorar mercados emergentes como Brasil, Rússia, Índia e China, o denominado bloco BRIC. A consultoria Bain &amp; Company demonstrou, por meio de uma pesquisa, que o mercado de luxo nos países que compõem o Bric, mesmo passando pela conjuntura atual de crise econômica, deve crescer em média, 25% nos próximos cinco anos. “O mercado brasileiro, com faturamento estimado hoje em 1,6 bilhões de dólares ao ano, é o que deve registrar o maior aumento nesse período: cerca de 35%” (MEYER, 2008). Esse é apenas um exemplo do direcionamento que a Louis Vuitton vem tomando para se desenvolver no mercado de luxo internacional. Como a dinâmica do ambiente externo pode dificultar a atuação empresarial das organizações, algumas delas, buscando sobreviver e se posicionar, procuram identificar as oportunidades de negócios para utilizar as estratégias empresariais de modo adequado. Neste estudo de caso para ensino serão discutidas algumas questões a respeito da trajetória da Louis Vuitton nesse sentido.</p>
O DISCURSO E A PRÁTICA DA FORMAÇÃO BASEADA EM COMPETÊNCIAS: UM ESTUDO EM CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO
Authors: Nunes Simone Costa 
Published: May 2015

<p>Diante da importância assumida pela noção de competências como orientadora das reformas que vêm ocorrendo no âmbito da educação em diversos países, propõe-se um estudo que tem como objetivo mapear os aspectos que caracterizam a Pedagogia das Competências em dois cursos de graduação em Administração. Tal proposta parte do entendimento de que a formação dos estudantes de cursos de graduação baseada na aquisição de competências deve incorporar elementos pedagógicos que possibilitem a efetiva formação de tais competências. Isso significa que os modelos de formação que norteiam os cursos precisam ser submetidos à<br />revisão crítica apoiando-se na premissa de que a formação deve incorporar, além da aquisição de saberes conceituais, os saberes relacionados ao fazer e ser. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo do tipo qualitativo-descritivo que utilizou a entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de coleta de dados, tendo sido entrevistados três coordenadores pedagógicos em duas instituições. Os resultados indicaram que a Pedagogia das Competências não norteava os cursos investigados. Se, de um lado, alguns de seus elementos estavam presentes nos cursos, de outro, isso não significava que houvesse uma orientação sistematizada e articulada, de forma global, entre todos os elementos que compunham o processo de ensino-aprendizagem.<br /><br /></p>

<p>Inúmeros estudos têm sido feitos procurando mensurar o componente de risco envolvido no retorno esperado em investimentos de capital. O objetivo deste trabalho é o de comparar os resultados obtidos nas diversas metodologias de cálculo do Capital Asset Princing Model (CAPM) com os resultados efetivos apresentados pelas ações de empresas do mercado brasileiro no período de 2000 a 2004. Esses cálculos utilizam quatro metodologias de determinação do índice beta e três metodologias de cálculo do CAPM, em oito cenários macroeconômicos distintos. A pesquisa buscou determinar relações de igualdade entre o conjunto dos<br />diversos retornos esperados obtidos e o efetivo comportamento de retornos dos ativos estudados em diversos cenários. O estudo utilizou o método estatístico Teste de Hipóteses de Diferença de Médias de duas Populações para comparar as diversas séries de retornos esperados obtidos, com os respectivos retornos efetivos. Os resultados obtidos sugerem a indicação de algumas metodologias e cenários como ferramentas válidas na predição de retornos futuros desses ativos, notadamente quando introduzidas variáveis que considerem o risco-país na sua mensuração.</p>

<p>Este trabalho caracteriza-se como um estudo de natureza qualitativa que pretendeu responder a seguinte questão de pesquisa: Em que medida uma Empresa Júnior caracteriza-se como uma organização de aprendizagem? Para tanto, procedeu-se a um levantamento de campo, baseado em entrevistas em profundidade. O processo de coleta de dados consistiu na<br />abordagem a doze membros de uma Empresa Júnior instalada em uma Universidade no Rio de Janeiro. As entrevistas seguiram um roteiro semiestruturado onde se buscou investigar os elementos considerados como caracterizadores de organizações de aprendizagem e as cinco<br />disciplinas de Senge (1990). A análise do conteúdo das entrevistas revelou que a organização domina duas das disciplinas de nível individual de Senge (1990): Domínio Pessoal e Modelos Mentais. Foi possível identificar certo esforço no sentido de desenvolver ferramentas que<br />permitam o domínio das outras três disciplinas de Senge (1990) que tratam do nível coletivo. Entretanto, a alta rotatividade representa um entrave, especialmente ao Raciocínio Sistêmico e impede o desenvolvimento integral do processo de aprendizagem organizacional,<br />de acordo com os pressupostos de Garvin (1993).</p>
