Linguistics in Secondary Education: Teachers\u27 Perceptions of Linguistics in the Classroom

Theoretical linguistics is an area of English study focusing on the abstract components of language: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. By 11th and 12th grade, students in the United States have been tested on linguistic concepts, as per state examination standards. English Language Arts teachers can introduce theoretical linguistic investigation and terms to their students, but this is not happening. The paper reviews why theoretical linguistic analysis is not thoroughly implemented in classrooms, successful classroom linguistic investigation in other countries and some U.S., and how linguistic investigation can be part of classroom curriculum. The research incorporates survey data from Rio Grande Valley ELA educators on their perceptions on linguistics a science, the usefulness of linguistics in the classroom, the desire to teach linguistics, and environmental factors that play a role in linguistic education. Results show responses in agreement or toward agreement in all four perceptions

PENGARUH MARINASI JAHE MERAH (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) TERHADAP PERUBAHAN KADAR MINERAL ESENSIAL PADA DAGING SAPI KERING

Indonesian people's beef consumption will increase every year in line with population growth and increasing public awareness of the availability of protein sources. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve in the form of drying as an effort to support increased beef consumption through making dried beef. Making dried beef uses a red ginger blend whose success is influenced by the amount of concentration used. This study aims to determine the effect and best concentration of using a red ginger blend as an ingredient in marinating dried beef brisket on essential mineral levels. The experimental design used in this research was a completely randomized design with five treatments, but no repetition was carried out. Treatments were differentiated according to the concentration of red ginger blend used, namely P0=0%, P1=5%, P2=10%, P3=15%, and P4=20%. The data analysis used is that the test results are displayed in the form of a histogram and explained descriptively. The results of the research showed that treatment without smearing the ginger blend and smearing the red ginger blend with the concentration according to the treatment gave different results. The red ginger blend smearing can increase the levels of essential minerals in dried beef

A Genomic Approach to Study Anthocyanin Synthesis and Flower Pigmentation in Passionflowers

Most of the plant pigments ranging from red to purple colors belong to the anthocyanin group of flavonoids. The flowers of plants belonging to the genus Passiflora (passionflowers) show a wide range of floral adaptations to diverse pollinating agents, including variation in the pigmentation of floral parts ranging from white to red and purple colors. Exploring a database of expressed sequence tags obtained from flower buds of two divergent Passiflora species, we obtained assembled sequences potentially corresponding to 15 different genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway in these species. The obtained sequences code for putative enzymes are involved in the production of flavonoid precursors, as well as those involved in the formation of particular (“decorated”) anthocyanin molecules. We also obtained sequences encoding regulatory factors that control the expression of structural genes and regulate the spatial and temporal accumulation of pigments. The identification of some of the putative Passiflora anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway genes provides novel resources for research on secondary metabolism in passionflowers, especially on the elucidation of the processes involved in floral pigmentation, which will allow future studies on the role of pigmentation in pollinator preferences in a molecular level

Modelli per la simulazione di azionamenti elettrici di propulsione e sistemi di generazione navali

2011/2012La propulsione elettrica navale è una soluzione che riscuote notevole interesse per le navi di nuova generazione. La sua versatilità permette di ottimizzare gli spazi ed i pesi del sistema elettrico di propulsione. Questo sistema garantisce una riduzione dei consumi specifici del motore primo che, al variare della velocità di rotazione dell’elica connessa alla macchina elettrica, lavora costantemente alla velocità nominale, dove i consumi sono ottimizzati. Il presente elaborato si pone come obiettivo lo studio di un sistema di propulsione ibrida, composto da una turbina a gas e due azionamenti elettrici, installato su navi militari di nuova concezione. Il sistema è in grado di funzionare anche come generatore asse. Lo studio si focalizzerà principalmente sugli azionamenti elettrici del sistema di propulsione e sulla loro interazione con il sistema elettrico integrato di bordo. L’obiettivo principale è quello di realizzare un simulatore dettagliato dell’azionamento elettrico di propulsione, permettendo di studiare il funzionamento dello stesso in regime stazionario e in regime dinamico. Viene quindi eseguita una modellizzazione matematica dettagliata dell’azionamento di propulsione oggetto di studio, dalla macchina elettrica ai convertitori di propulsione. Lo studio è condotto allo scopo di ottenere informazioni riguardanti il comportamento dell’azionamento, in determinate condizioni di funzionamento, e gli effetti da esso causati sulla rete elettrica di bordo. Viene poi descritto il modello del sistema funzionante in modalità di “generatore asse”, dalla trattazione fatta sul sistema di propulsione, effettuando una validazione del relativo simulatore implementato, attraverso la comparazione tra i risultati ottenuti e le prove di collaudo fornite dai produttori del sistema oggetto di studio. Viene infine trattato uno degli argomenti più promettenti nell’ambito della propulsione elettrica navale, il sistema di distribuzione in media tensione continua (MVDC). Il sistema MVDC è una soluzione che riscuote notevole interesse nell’ambito delle “all-electric ship” di nuova generazione, grazie ai vantaggi offerti in termini di riduzione di pesi e dimensioni del sistema di generazione e di consumo di energia.XXV Ciclo198

O Programa Bolsa Família: um estudo sobre a desigualdade de renda e a pobreza no estado do Tocantins (2004-2013)

The main objective of this research is to promote a discussion about poverty under a historical analysis of the capitalist system development, the worker class origin and the result of this process: exploitation, inequality and misery. Under this theoretical approach is possible to comprehend how capitalist society is structured to assure exploitation and, at the same time, how the worker class organized itself to assure its political rights. The conflicts of the political sphere lead the State to distinctive roles trying to keep social cohesion and as a result from this process social programs and politics. In the Brazilian case, the programs of income distribution under conditionality as a form to fight against poverty became evident under the national sphere in 1990 and on, those actions intensified in the 2000’s after the creation of the minimum income federal program, Programa Bolsa Família (PBF), which reaches every Brazilian county. In the Tocantins state the PBF took thousands of families from the extreme poverty condition, although the income concentration was not impacted.Este estudo promove uma discussão sobre a pobreza a partir da análise histórica do desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista, a origem da classe trabalhadora e a resultante desse processo: a exploração, a desigualdade de renda e a miséria. A partir desse arcabouço teórico é possível compreender como a sociedade capitalista se estruturou para garantir a exploração e como a classe trabalhadora se articulou para garantir seus direitos políticos. Esse campo conflitivo, fez com que o Estado desempenhasse papéis distintos na tentativa de manter a coesão social, como resultante desse processo surgem políticas e programas sociais. No caso brasileiro, os programas de distribuição de renda com condicionantes como forma de combate à pobreza se tornaram evidentes no cenário nacional a partir da década de 1990, essas ações se intensificaram a partir dos anos 2000 com a criação do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) que atende todos os municípios brasileiros. No estado do Tocantins o PBF retirou milhares de famílias da condição de extrema pobreza e pobreza, entretanto a concentração de renda não foi impactada

Sarawak Digital Economy and the organisational sensemaking process of CSR: a conceptual view

The Sarawak Digital Economy (SDE) is an initiative that was recently implemented by the Sarawak Government in its effort to turn Sarawak into a high-income and developed State by year 2030. Based on this vision, the Sarawak Government has addressed the critical need for an effective collaboration with the local organisations. Since the early 2000s, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become one of the innovative mechanism used by governments of various localities to work with local organisations for the interest of the community. In some regions, CSR has been widely used as a platform to cope with the social challenges such as unemployment and poverty. Based on these common practices, it is reasonable for this study to anticipate the likelihood for similar mechanism of collaboration to take place in Sarawak especially in respective to the joint effort required between the Sarawak Government with the local organisations to ensure successful implementation of SDE. This perspective in turn, puts into emphasis the potential ‘trigger’ effect that SDE may impose on the affected local organisations, including its CSR activities and orientation. Henceforth, the need for this study to view the development and implementation of CSR in an organisation as a sensemaking process. In this respect, this article takes the pioneering step to put present a conceptual view of the organisational CSR sensemaking process, and rationalise as to how CSR should be analysed especially in the scope of Sarawak’s current economic plan and direction
