Development of Spanish requests and apologies during study abroad
Authors: Shively Rachel L. , Cohen Andrew D. 
Published: June 2023

The present study analyzed the requests and apologies of 67 U.S. American study abroad students before and after spending one semester in a Spanish-speaking country. Ratings of students' pragmatic appropriateness by Spanish native speakers indicated that, overall, students improved their request and apology performance over the course of the semester. An analysis of students' request and apology strategy use, both pre- and post-study abroad, found that in certain ways students shifted their behavior to more closely resemble that of Spanish native-speaker baseline data, but that in some cases, they also remained or moved away from native-speaker norms. Another objective of the study was to examine the possible associations between students' background characteristics, contact with Spanish, and gains in intercultural sensitivity with gains over time in rated request and apology performance. Of these variables, only two of the language contact variables yielded statistically significant results. This study contributes to our understanding of second language pragmatic development and the influence of individual characteristics and environmental factors.

*Caníbales por Cali van: Andrés Caicedo y el gótico tropical
Authors: Gómez Felipe 
Published: June 2023

Cannibalism and vampirism are recurring motifs in the films and fiction made by the Colombian interdisciplinary collective known as Grupo de Cali (the Cali Group). They are also fundamental for their aesthetic of the “Tropical Gothic”. Through this aesthetic, the Grupo effects a transcultural reappropriation and recreation of Gothic film and literature by incorporating the local parameters of youth in Cali during the 1960s and 1970s. In this article, I focus on representations of female cannibals found in fiction short stories by Andrés Caicedo, one of the founders of the Group, and I examine them using contemporary cultural theory and criticism related to the figures of Caliban and the cannibal in Latin America.

*Las dimensiones de lengua y cultura e interculturales en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera
Authors: Barbosa Lúcia Maria de Assunção 
Published: June 2023

The process of teaching/learning a foreign language cannot be reduced to the attainment of an instrument for communication. It is an interdisciplinary procedure with the objective of introducing the learner to the symbolic universe in which he wants to participate. This article presents some general considerations involving the cultural dimension in the context of teaching and learning a foreign language. It also touches certain aspects of the word “culture”, demonstrating how it differs from the word “civilization” which predominated for a considerable period of time in the French context of the didactics of foreign language teaching and learning. This lexical shift brought about relevant aspects concerning the belief that language and culture are inseparable elements.

*Análisis contrastivo e interlingüístico de peticiones en inglés y español
Authors: Tello Rueda Leyla Yined 
Published: June 2023

This article presents the main results of a descriptive investigation in the field of interlan­guage pragmatics. It contrasts the requests formed by native speakers of Spanish, by native speakers of English, and by learners of English as a foreign language. Data was collected through a closed role-play, in order to analyze the semantic strategies and the internal and external modifications used by participants in the oral production of requests. This analysis allowed the detection of pragmatic transfer from Spanish to English. This outcome is crucial for the design of methodological and curricular proposals that contri­bute to offset the effect of this factor as a generator of communicative breakdowns and misunderstandings when learning a second or foreign language.

*La Problemática de los trabajos monográficos en un programa de Licenciatura en Idiomas: análisis y perspectivas
Authors: Cárdenas Beltrán Melba Libia , Nieto Cruz María Claudia , Béllanger Véronique , Cortés Cárdenas Ligia , Rüger Antje 
Published: June 2023

This article reports on the results of a research project developed by teachers from the Foreign Languages Department of Universidad Nacional de Colombia with the aim of determining the circumstances that characterize the monograph projects carried out by students of the major of Philology and Languages - English, French, German - between 2000 and 2003 to opt for their professional degree. We followed the principles of a qualitative case study with a group of undergraduate and graduated students, and teachers from the major. We identified the reasons that motivate students to work on specific topics, their experiences when doing the monograph projects, and the relationship between these and the internal and external fields of action. The results indicate that the development of these projects implies undertaking a journey. The study helped us infer implications with respect to formative research, the curriculum, the pedagogical practices, the regulations of the university and its infrastructure.

Critical Thinking in the EFL Classroom: The Search for a Pedagogical Alternative to Improve English Learning
Authors: Pineda Báez Clelia 
Published: June 2023

This article reports the results of a research study that was undertaken by a group of tea­chers working in the English program ascribed to the School of Education at Universidad Externado de Colombia, with the financial support of COLCIENCIAS. Tasks related to critical thinking were designed and implemented with three groups of students. A qualitative interpretative case study was conducted to examine how students constructed meaning when dealing with the tasks, the meta-cognitive processes involved in the process, the types of interactions built around the tasks and how they influenced language competence and critical thinking. The findings indicate that language competence and criticality are on-going, never-ending processes. However, teachers can refine them through thought-provoking, stimulating materials.

This article is derived from an action research project developed at the University of Caldas in Manizales-Colombia with a group of teacher-trainees who are carrying out their teaching practicum at State Schools. It describes the most common problems and the strengths that the practicum advisors have observed at the moment of revising the trainees' lesson plans. It includes some examples taken from the trainees journals with the corresponding advisors suggestions. The researchers describe the intervention points to improve the advising actions that could allow the trainees to reflect on their planning weaknesses. Advisors, as facilitators of that process, feel that there is something to contribute with the pedagogical knowledge about classroom research.

La tendencia anti-ilusionista en la traducción del texto dramático: reconfiguración del concepto de Jiří Levý
Authors: Odrekhivska Iryna 
Published: June 2023

El presente artículo aborda (1) el análisis profundo de la concepción de Jiří Levy sobre la traducción del texto dramático y (2) su potencial extrapolación a las teorizaciones socioculturales actuales de la traducción para el teatro. Teniendo en cuenta las principales orientaciones existentes sobre la evaluación de la traducción del texto dramático, este estudio pone en primer plano las siguientes premisas y enfoques de Levy sobre la traducción de obras dramáticas: (1) la historicidad relativa del estilo dramático, (2) el papel de la estilización del repertorio de lenguaje de los personajes, (3) el diálogo en escena como un sistema de pulsos semánticos o “energía semántica”, (4) la concretización “interna” del diálogo en la escena, (5) la traducción del texto dramático como una “acción verbal”: hacia el principio de la fidelidad incompatible. El objetivo final es explorar lo que los conceptos puedan aportar al discurso actual sobre la traducción del texto dramático en general y para comprender mejor la traducción y la adaptación o reescritura del texto dramático que también podría probablemente definirse por Levy como anti ilusión. Además, en este artículo se demostrará el carácter formativo de las ideas de Levy en la interpretación de la traducción del texto dramático en Ucrania.
BALKAN ENDEMİK NEFROPATİSİ ETİYOLOJİSİNDE ARİSTOLOKOLİK ASİT ve LİNYİT HİPOTEZLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: DOĞRUL SELVER Ayça 
Published: June 2023

Balkan Endemik Nefropatisi (BEN), Balkanlar’da 1950’li yıllarda tanımlanmış, kronik bir böbrek rahatsızlığıdır. Bulgaristan, Romanya ve Sırbistan gibi ülkelerde Pliyosen yaşlı kömür yataklarının ve BEN’li alanların yayılımının aynı olması sebebiyle BEN etiyolojisi için linyit etkisi öne sürülmüştür. Bu hipotez, kömür ile ilişkili olan yeraltı suyunun linyitleri yıkayarak yapılarındaki toksik organik maddeleri bünyesine aldığını, bu suyun arıtılmadan kullanılmasıyla BEN geliştiğini önerir. Sonraki çalışmalar, bu hipotezin zayıf yanlarını ortaya çıkarırken, nefrotoksik/kanserojenik bazı toksinlere (Aristolokolik Asit ve Okratoksin; AA ve OTA) çeşitli yollarla maruz kalınmasının BEN etiyolojisinde önemli rol oynadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır.
Linyit hipotezini zayıflatan en önemli bulgu, Pliyosen linyit yataklarının bulunduğu diğer ülkelerde benzer böbrek rahatsızlıklarının görülmemesidir. Benzer şekilde, BEN etiyolojisi sadece AA ve OTA’ya maruz kalmakla da açıklanamamıştır. Tek faktörlü etiyolojiyi zayıflatan en temel noktalar şunlardır: BEN-endemik bölgelerde yaşayan tüm bölge sakinlerinin hastalanmaması, BEN hastası olan bir evdeki tüm aile bireylerinin hastalanmaması ve kadınların erkeklere oranla daha fazla hastalanması.
Sonuç olarak, yaygın olarak kabul edilen görüş, BEN gelişiminde çok faktörlü etiyolojinin etkin olduğudur. Çok temel olarak, linyit kaynaklı PAH’ların veya fenollerin, antropojenik kökenli fitalatların ve AA’nın toksik etkilerinin birleşmesi ve genetik yatkınlık gibi sebeplerle hastalığın geliştiği kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, BEN hastalığı ile linyit ve aristolokolik asit arasındaki ilişkinin incelendiği çalışmalar derlenmiştir.

Can Higher-Order Finite-Difference Operators Be Applied across a Material Interface?
Authors: Valovcan Jaroslav , Moczo Peter , Kristek Jozef , Galis Martin , Kristekova Miriam 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
It is well known that higher-order and thus longer-stencil finite-difference operators (FDOs) can be advantageously used for evaluating spatial derivatives in the finite-difference schemes applied to smoothly heterogeneous media. This is because they reduce spatial grid dispersion. However, realistic models often include sharp material interfaces. Can high-order long-stencil FDOs be applied across such material interface? We address this question by comparing exact spatial derivatives against derivatives approximated by FDOs with respect to the interface representation, velocity contrast, and order of the FDO. The interface is considered in an arbitrary position with respect to the spatial grid. The material interface exactly represented by the Heaviside step function causes a large error of the FDO spatial derivative near the interface. The maximum error near the interface practically does not depend on the order of the FDO. There are only small differences in errors among FDOs of different orders elsewhere. The larger the velocity contrast, the larger the error. If the material interface is represented using a wavenumber band-limited Heaviside function, the error is smoothed and several times smaller. The error in the wavenumber band-limited model decreases with an increasing order of the FDO. Our findings combined with those by Moczo et al. (2022) lead to the important conclusion: The wavenumber band-limited representation of the material interface is not only a necessary consequence of discretization of the original physical model but also significantly reduces the error in evaluating a spatial derivative using the FDO.
Importancia de la gestión de inventario en empresa de Manufacura
Authors: Camacho Zapata Adriana  Stefany , Ríos Baldovino Julieth Paola , Mojica Herazo Julio , Rojas Millán Rafael 
Published: June 2023

Los inventarios en una organización son de alta importancia, ya sea una empresa PYME o de gran tamaño. Tener el control de una manera sofisticada, implica poseer una mayor supervisión del stock, a reducir costos y acelerar el cumplimiento de la demanda. Pues bien, las empresas diariamente tienen nuevos retos y nuevas competencias, por lo cual las impulsa a no solo ser buenas si no excelente, por ende, el crecimiento excesivo de la competencia exige a las compañías tener un mayor nivel de respuesta y de eficiencia en sus procesos para de esa manera poder tener una acogida en el mercado en el que se esté moviendo. En el presente artículo, se tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis de alguno de los métodos implementados por empresas de manufactura, con el fin de demostrar la importancia de la gestión de inventarios. Es importante no incurrir en errores tales como, no considerar los tiempos de reabastecimiento de los proveedores. La problemática de cuantificar el inventario puede ser tan grande o tan pequeño según la gama del producto, en el tiempo muchas compañías han sufrido con esto por los costos y la productividad que representa, el tener mucho inventario sin rotación denota una gran pérdida ya que, el stock de una empresa es uno de los puntos más importantes a tener en cuenta porque representa uno de los activos más grandes, y a su vez, supone generalmente la mayor inversión de una organización, la cual puede abarcar una cantidad superior al 50% del total de activos de una empresa distribuidora.
