Poem as Space for Artistic Contestation: Finding Multiple Voices of Female Writers through Artistic Vocabularies

This project is a creative piece that consists of ten poems and a critical analysis of artistic vocabularies utilized by women writers: Aicha Bassry, Furugh Farrukhzad, and Fatima Mernissi. I argue that their speaking together, especially through multiple voices, is a political act that can be privileged above normative discussions of art currently. This comes from the common worlds they build in their poetic and scholarly work, which despite differences in voice and vocabulary, centralize women. I define artistic vocabulary in this project as the transformation that takes place when image is translated into word. I explore this idea of multiple voices through a series of erasure poems based on five from Aicha Bassry. I consider the artistic medium of the poem as a site of contestation of voice, authenticity, and authority— a place to test the third spaces of these writers

Analisis Belajar Keterampilan Motorik

This article discusses the analysis of learning motor skills using references from relevant literature studies, in the concept that learning motor skills is learning by the development of a student's bodily ability which includes gross motoric development and fine motor skills.There are four characteristics of learning motor skills, namely: (1) sequential response, (2) perceptual-motor coordination, (3) response regulation, (4) feedback.Learning motor skills can be divided into three phases or stages, namely (1) the initial or cognitive phase, (2) the fixation or associative phase, and (3) the final or autonomous phase

The Use of Picture Exchange Communication System to Reduce Screaming Behavior in a Child with Severe Autism

Using a multiple baseline across subject areas design, the effect of a package intervention consisting of the Picture Exchange Communication System and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior to decrease screaming behavior of a child with autism was examined. Results showed that the intervention decreased the screaming behavior of the participant

Optimal cut-off values for obesity using classification tree in middle-aged adults living Rio de Janeiro city

Background: The goal present study was to identify cut-off points for body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) to predict values of obesity based body fat percentage (BF%) using classification tree in middle-aged adults living Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil.Methods: The data was collected in a prospective cohort composed of 886 adults (443 men and 443 women) ranging from 30 to 59 years along two years (2010 - 2011) in Rio de Janeiro City, Brazil. All subjects were submitted to anthropometric evaluation and the gold standard was the percentage of body fat estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The optimal sensitivity was achieved by adjusting BMI and WC cut-off values to predict obesity based on WHO criteria: BF% >25% in men and >35% in women according to the tree classification.Results: The best cut-off for BMI and WC were 28 kg/m2 and 99 cm, respectively, with a prediction of 99.4% overall tree sensitivity in men. For women, the best cut-off for BMI and WC were 26 kg/m2 and 90 cm, respectively, with a prediction of 90.1% overall tree sensitivity.Conclusions: The BMI and WC that corresponds to a BF% previously defining obesity is similar to other Western population, but different of the recommended by WHO and NCEP to BMI and WC thresholds, respectively, for defining obesity for both genders

Performance of Lightweight Waste-Impoundment Dikes

The containment dikes of two sludge disposal lagoons were founded on low strength, highly compressible wetland soils in Madison, Wisconsin. These lagoons, constructed in 1942 and 1967 respectively, encompass 130 acres of digested sludge produced at the sewage treatment plant. The dikes have experienced two previous failures in 1970 and 1973. A dike rehabilitation program was initiated in 1976 to prevent additional failures. New dikes were built using wood chips as a lightweight fill. Non-woven synthetic filter fabric was used to prevent soil intrusion into the chips and to provide resistance to lateral spreading. An investigation was initiated in 1984 to assess the current and long term stability and settlement of the dikes, to determine the fate of the wood chip fill, and to develop recommendations for ways to stabilize the dikes, if necessary. This paper presents the results of the stability and settlement analyses, and the attendant interpretations. The investigation indicated better than marginal stability, predicted minor loss of freeboard between 1987 and the year 2000, and found only minor changes in the wood chips after 10 years of service

Group Chaos Theory (GCT) A research model and analysis of group process

Abstract This article provides a different perspective to group process research based on: (a) the incorporation of theoretical concepts from chaos and mathematical theory to group process, (b) discovery oriented research using a single-case study design, (c) time-series data collected on the group variables of trust, belongingness, cohesiveness, and synergy over the life-span of single case groups, (d) mathematical analysis of group process data, and (e) the case study presentation of results in terms of mathematical derivatives and functions, phase space portraits, bifurcations and attractors, close return and Poincaré maps, and power spectrum analysis and histograms

Producción de biogás a partir de aguas mieles y pulpa de café (Coffea arabica) en el Distrito de Copallín, Bagua – Amazonas, 2017

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue producir biogás a partir de aguas mieles y pulpa de café (Coffea arabica), que son subproductos de desecho que se generan en el beneficio húmedo del café (BHC), los que son arrojados a ecosistemas terrestres y acuáticos, sin ningún control ni tratamiento, por razones que el productor desconoce o no cuenta con alternativas, causando graves problemas a la salud de la población y contaminación del medio ambiente. Para ello se empleó biodigestores de plástico de 3 litros, para producir biogás como energía alterna sustituyente de los combustibles fósiles y del uso de leña, para las familias rurales. El biogás producido se recolectó con la técnica del desplazamiento de agua en estas botellas calibradas de 3 L cada 100 mL durante 30 días con un rango de temperatura de 17°C a 36°C. El análisis estadístico para analizar la diferencia de medias de producción de biogás entre los cuatro tratamientos fue ANOVA (análisis de varianza), usando el software SPSS. Los resultados se expresan como producción de biogás por tratamiento, donde la producción de biogás en el Tratamiento 4 (pulpa de café 40%, agua miel 20% y estiércol de ganado vacuno 40%) fue 1 320 mL, el Tratamiento 3 (estiércol 70%, agua 30%) produjo 1 711,7 mL, Tratamiento 2 (estiércol 40%, agua 20%, pulpa de café 40%) produjo 500 mL y Tratamiento 1 (pulpa de café 70% y agua miel 30%) produjo 250 mL de biogás. Estos resultados indican que el principal sustrato para la producción de biogás es el estiércol de ganado vacuno. Para tratar los efluentes que genera el BHC, será necesario emplear el tratamiento 4 que contiene 40% de pulpa de café, 40% estiércol de ganado vacuno y 20% de agua miel; para compensar y/o mantener la producción de biogás en menor tiempo, siempre que la mezcla a fermentar contenga estiércol de ganado vacuno y el agua se reemplace por agua miel.Tesi
