Assessment on the measurement properties of the Brazilian Portuguese language version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Female Sexual Matters Associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Module (ICIQ-FLUTSsex)
Authors: Andrade Bruna Fonseca de , Katz Leila , Rangel Artur Eduardo de Oliveira , Guendler Julianna de Azevedo
Published: August 2020

Abstract Objectives: to assess internal consistency and reliability in providing a Portuguese version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Female Sexual Matters Associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Module (ICIQ-FLUTSsex). Methods: a validation study was conducted by applying questionnaires for 56 women over 18 years old with active sexual life and presenting urinary incontinence, excluding those who had urinary infection in the past 6 months. Three questionnaires were used, one for personal identification; the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the ICIQ-FLUTSsex. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Cronbach's alpha was used to verify reliability of the items on the questionnaires and Kappa coefficient was used to assess the agreement between the questionnaires applied in the test-retest. Results: the median age was 49.1 years old, mostly were mixed colored skin and married, with a high prevalence of mixed urinary incontinence. Cronbach's alpha score was 0.80, which was considered good. Kappa value was moderate, ranging from 0.36 to 0.76. Conclusion: internal consistency was considered good and reliability moderate. The Portuguese version of ICIQ-FLUTSsex was proven to be valid to use on women with urinary incontinence, contributing for clinical practice, as it provides as a quick tool for research on sexual dysfunction.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the epidemiological profile and the spatial-temporal dynamics on maternal mortality in Alagoas and its relationship with social vulnerability and income inequality. Methods: a mixed ecological study involving maternal deaths who resided in Alagoas from 1996 to 2016. Sociodemographic variables (age, race/color, education, marital status), clinical (type of obstetric cause, death by category and ICD group) were analyzed, besides the indicators (Maternal Mortality Ratio-MMR, Social Vulnerability Index and Gini Index). For the temporal analysis, we used the inflection point regression model and for the spatial analysis, the local empirical Bayesian model, Moran Global and Local statistics, and the bivariate local spatial autocorrelation analysis. Results: a total of 586 deaths (47.63/100 thousand live births) were registered, with a trend of MMR growth (APC 2.8%), with a heterogeneous distribution between health regions and cities. The profile was characterized by the predominance of young, black / mixed skin color women with low schooling. Eight cities were considered priority. There was spatial correlation with the Social Vulnerability Index and income inequality. Conclusions: identifying priority areas may contribute to planning and targeting interventions.
Avoidable maternal mortality as social injustice
Authors: Freitas-Júnior Reginaldo Antônio de Oliveira
Published: August 2020

Abstract Safe motherhood is not a reality for many women and maternal mortality persists as a severe public health problem. This paper aims to discuss avoidable maternal mortality beyond health issues emphasising on human rights violations and the multiple social repercussions on this complex phenomenon. From the human rights perspectives, avoidable maternal death can be characterized as violation of rights related to life, freedom and the person’s safety, family life, equality and non-discrimination, as well as to the highest attainable standard of health and benefits from scientific progress. When reproductive health risks are faced by pregnant women, they are not restricted to inherent issues such as pregnancy but they reflecton issues strongly linked in the need of gender equality and empowerment for all women and girls, and avoidable maternal mortality should be understood by everyone as a serious injustice tha tdiscriminates women and violates their fundamental rights. The avoidable maternal death recharacterisation, beginning from health disadvantage to social injustice, should develop a collective critical awareness involving the population, giving visibility repercussions for the individual, the family and the population, as well as promoting new interdisciplinary possibilities in coping, sharing and focusing on social control in public policies.
Who is afraid of obstetric violence?
Authors: Katz Leila , Amorim Melania Maria , Giordano Juliana Camargo , Bastos Maria Helena , Brilhante Aline Veras Morais
Published: August 2020

Abstract Despite being a relatively new term, obstetric violence is an old problem. In 2014, the World Health Organization declared: “Many women experience disrespectful and abusive treatment during childbirth in facilities worldwide. Such treatment not only violates the rights of women to respectful care, but can also threaten their rights to life, health, bodily integrity, and freedom from discrimination”. This problem, named as “abuse”, “disrespect” and/or “mistreatment” during childbirth, has been addressed in several studies. However, there has been no consensus on how to properly name this problem, although its typology has been well described. Considering the magnitude of this problem, it is essential to give the correct terminology to this important health and human rights issue. Naming it as obstetric violence and understanding it as gender-based violence will ensure appropriate interventions to avert this violation of women's rights.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the access to cervical cancer preventive examination in Pernambuco between 2002 and 2015 by cytopathological exam coverage. Methods: public data from SUS Computer Department were used, then processed by Tabnet and Excel and calculated the slope of the over time coefficient trend by simple regression techniques. Afterwards, they were plotted in thematic maps covering cytopathological exams on Terraview app 4.2.2. Results: Pernambuco State presented an increase of exam coverage trend in all the health regions until 2010. Since that year it started to have stabilization and decreased the tendency. Comparing the coverage of the two first years, in 2002, 42.7% of the cities coverage was below 0.2 and in 2015 the scenario changed, 41.1% of the cities coverage was above 0.6. We emphasize that even in that same year 13.5% of the cities still had a low or too low coverage (less than 0.4). The over time trends in increase and decline were strongly meaningful. Conclusions: this study revealed that all health regions presented a coverage lower than recommended, in some period or in all of them, even with the State growth tendency it demonstrated an unequal and heterogeneous characteristic.
CORPOS, “MENTES”, EMOÇÕES: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE TDAH E SOCIALIZAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Barbarini Tatiana de Andrade
Published: August 2020

Resumo Este artigo problematiza o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH), entendendo que sua delimitação clínica e social se orienta por normas de conduta que configuram o processo de socialização infantil. Trata de questões emergentes de dois trabalhos de campo, realizados em um ambulatório de psiquiatria infantil (dissertação de mestrado da autora deste artigo) e em escolas brasileiras (tese de doutorado), nos períodos de 2009-2011 e 2012-2016, respectivamente. Parte-se da questão de gênero suscitada pela prevalência do transtorno para analisar algumas dessas normas de conduta social - sobretudo aquelas relacionadas ao controle da corporalidade e das emoções -, e do estigma sofrido por crianças diagnosticadas para compreender a legitimação de intervenções especializadas bem como a produção de identidades. Almeja-se explorar a conjuntura da sociedade contemporânea, que articula o domínio sobre o corpo, a “mente” e as emoções para conferir sentido às condutas, crenças e desejos coletivos e individuais.

ABSTRACT: The spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is considered the main insect pest of small fruit in the world. Identifying susceptible hosts is essential to develop management strategies. The aim of this study was to verify the level of D. suzukii infestation in blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, cattley guava and Surinam cherry fruits cultivated in the southern region in Brazil, and to determine the infestation index (II) per fruit. The studies were carried out during two harvests (2015/16 and 2016/17) in three areas with organic cultivation of small fruit. The highest level of D. suzukii natural infestation was observed in blackberry (40 to 65% infestation), and strawberry (approximately 30% infestation) fruits. In contrast, blueberries were less preferred (< 7% infestation). For native fruit of the region (cattley guava and Surinam cherry), it was also verified infestation of the fly, demonstrating they are hosts for multiplication in the off-season periods of the other crops. In relation to II, blackberry and Surinam cherry provided a higher average number of insects per gram of fruit (≈ 1.6 adults of D. suzukii). In contrast, blueberries and cattley guava had the lowest insect ratio per gram of fruit (≈ 0.7 adults per gram). The period between late spring to mid-autumn was considered ideal for the pest occurrence in the field. The knowledge of natural infestation levels is essential for understanding the behavior of the pest in the field, which will assist in the design of management strategies.
PROCESSOS DE NASALIZAÇÃO EM LUNG’IE
Authors: AGOSTINHO Ana Lívia , BALDUINO Amanda Macedo , ARAUJO Gabriel Antunes de
Published: August 2020

RESUMO Este artigo descreve e analisa a nasalidade vocálica produzida por coda e onset nasal em lung’Ie, língua crioula falada em São Tomé e Príncipe. Assim, observamos o comportamento fonotático da língua, investigando a aplicação dos processos de nasalização conforme o acento lexical e a possibilidade de ressilabificação dos segmentos. Ademais, através de um teste perceptivo, visamos identificar o modo que a nasalidade engatilhada por coda é concebida em lung’Ie. Nesse caso, os resultados indicam que, com a exclusão da consoante em onset da sílaba seguinte à sílaba que continha nasalização, os falantes compreendiam o apêndice nasal como uma consoante plena [n] ressilabificada na posição de onset nasal, reforçando, portanto, a interpretação bifonêmica da nasalidade no lung’Ie (AGOSTINHO, 2015). A análise fonotática, por sua vez, indica que o acento é primordial para o engatilhamento da nasalização a partir de onset silábico, ao passo que a nasalização em coda pode ocorrer independentemente da maior proeminência lexical envolvida. O acento como fator importante na concretização deste processo sugere a existência de um sistema suprassegmental misto em lung’Ie, constituído por tom e acento, sendo o acento a categoria suprassegmental mais importante (AGOSTINHO, 2015).

Published: August 2020

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa em Antroponomástica, um ramo da Onomástica dedicado ao estudo dos nomes próprios de pessoa. O foco desse artigo é a descrição e comparação (1) dos diferentes processos morfológicos envolvidos na formação de hipocorísticos no Português do Brasil e no idioma lituano e (2) dos usos de nomes hipocorísticos como prenomes oficiais em ambos os países de acordo com dados disponíveis em dois websites institucionais nacionais. A análise comparativa descrita ao longo do artigo mostra que os processos morfológicos de abreviação de prenomes de cada língua apresentam entre si mais similaridades do que diferenças. Apesar dessas semelhanças, os usos de hipocorísticos como prenome são bem diferentes em cada país. De acordo com os dados estatísticos brasileiros, atualmente, tem diminuído o uso de hipocorístico como prenome. Ao contrário, segundo os dados estatísticos lituanos, o uso de hipocorísticos como prenome é uma tendência contemporânea na Lituânia.
Speech profile in Down syndrome: speech apraxia x speech disorder of musculoskeletal origin

Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT This study presents an analysis of linguistic aspects at the segmental and suprasegmental levels in individuals with Down syndrome with or without a diagnosis of speech apraxia. Ten individuals of both sexes, aged between 13 and 32 years, participated in the study. Data collection was performed, individually and separately, in a video recorded therapeutic session. Speech tasks consisted of word repetition, repetition of sentences and automatic speech. The speech samples were submitted to phonetic transcription with a description and analysis of phonoarticulatory alterations, typology of disfluencies and prosodic alterations. The data were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, using the Mann-Whitney test for independent samples and considering p-value≤0.05 as significant. Individuals with speech apraxia (n=6), compared with those without it (n=4), presented a higher occurrence of phonoarticulatory alterations, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups in omission (p=0.018) and articulatory inaccuracy (p=0.030) alterations; a higher occurrence of disfluencies, mainly of the syllable repetition type; and the occurrence of prosodic alterations (83.3%), which was not found in the group without speech apraxia. The importance of the differential diagnosis of speech disorders in Down syndrome is revealed with an evaluation that considers the different linguistic aspects resulting from the differentiation of the characteristics of speech. Clinical intervention should be early and guided by specific parameters.
EVIDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SLEEP DURATION AND BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Santos Emanuela de Souza Gomes dos , Souza Orivaldo Florencio de
Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To review the epidemiological evidence of the association between sleep duration and blood pressure in adolescents. Data sources: We performed a systematic review of observational studies in Medline, Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, Science Direct databases and Virtual Libraries in English, Spanish and Portuguese published until September 2018. Studies were selected first by title and abstract, then by complete reading, according to the eligibility criteria. The reference list of selected articles was evaluated in order to retrieve relevant studies. Data synthesis: Initially, 1,455 articles were retrieved. After exclusion due to duplicity or not meeting the eligibility criteria, 13 articles were included in the review. Studies varied greatly in sample size (143 to 6,940 patients), methods of measuring blood pressure and sleep duration, cutoff points, categorization and adjustment of variables. The main evidence from the studies is that short sleep duration is associated with high blood pressure in adolescence, although the presence of association between high blood pressure and long sleep duration is possible, but not clear in the literature. Conclusions: Sleep duration, especially short duration, is associated with high blood pressure in adolescents. Such evidence draws attention to implications on cardiovascular health in this age group.
UM ESTUDO SOBRE O CONCEITO DE SENTIDO E A ANÁLISE SEMÂNTICA DA CONSCIÊNCIA EM L. S. VIGOTSKI
Authors: Toassa Gisele
Published: August 2020

RESUMO O presente texto explana a análise semântica da consciência em Vigotski, buscando trabalhar o conceito de sentido, na obra do autor, em seu contexto histórico. Para tanto, realizei um estudo teórico do capítulo “Pensamento e palavra” e do livro Psicologia da arte, cotejados com edições em russo. Concluiu-se, em primeiro lugar, que a ideia de “sentido”, para Vigotski, não se restringe à linguagem, tampouco à consciência individual, mas apresenta uma faceta filosófica. Explica-se, ainda, neste artigo, a noção de análise semântica (ou semasiológica) da consciência, cuja marca é a relação entre sentido e significado.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES DOS ESTUDOS DE AUTORES SOVIÉTICOS PARA A PSICOLOGIA E A NEUROCIÊNCIA COGNITIVA CONTEMPORÂNEAS
Authors: Damasceno Benito Pereira
Published: August 2020

RESUMO Os autores soviéticos introduziram o conceito de “mente” como sistema funcional complexo (SFC) de origem histórico-cultural, confirmado e avançado pela psicologia e pela neurociência cognitiva atual. Como SFC, o ato mental é um conjunto dinâmico de operações abstratas processadas em diversas regiões cerebrais interconexas, cada uma contribuindo com uma operação específica, como ocorre na memória e na solução de problemas. Os SFC constroem-se na atividade prática psicossocial do indivíduo, mediada por pessoas e signos, cuja privação, em períodos críticos do desenvolvimento mental-cerebral, pode ser catastrófica.

STATUS FACTUAL E TEÓRICO DO PARALELOGRAMO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO DA MEMÓRIA
Authors: Meshcheryakov Boris G.
Published: August 2020

RESUMO A. N. Leontiev cunhou o termo “Paralelogramo do Desenvolvimento da Memória” (PDM) considerando a representação gráfica básica dos resultados de sua pesquisa macro-ontogênica sobre a memorização de palavras. Desde os anos 1990, periódicos russos sobre psicologia têm publicado muitos artigos que contestam o termo PDM, negando que represente um fato real e considerando-o uma suposta “falha” da pesquisa de Leontiev. Neste artigo, refutamos tal ideia por meio de estudos bibliográficos e empíricos, com o objetivo de estabelecer que o PDM não foi a única forma de o autor representar a memória.

Published: August 2020

RESUMO A leitura do “Prefácio” ao livro O Desenvolvimento da Memória nos instigou a analisar uma atividade registrada durante um projeto sobre memória e narrativa, realizado no contexto escolar contemporâneo. Privilegiamos dois pontos levantados no texto: a “idade” – modos de conceber o desenvolvimento humano – e a “semântica” – modos de conceber a significação da experiência vivida. Os relatos das crianças nos levaram a trabalhar o intrincamento entre memória e personalidade, vivência e consciência. Na situação de rememoração coletiva propiciada pela escola, o que as crianças elaboram sobre as histórias familiares são indícios da compreensão da própria vida.
Threshold models for the determination of genetic variability among reproductive traits in Nellore cattle
Authors: Martin Nieto Leonardo , Silva Luiz Otávio Campos da , Rosa Antônio do Nascimento Ferreira
Published: August 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of different threshold models to determine the genetic variability in Nellore cattle, with basis on the heritability estimates for the traits stayability (STA) and first calving probability at 36 months of age (CP36). Data came from the Nellore herds participating in the animal breeding program of the Embrapa-Geneplus partnership. Binomial and multi-threshold models were defined for the STA and CP36 traits. Heritability estimates were obtained following Bayesian procedures in the Multiple-trait Gibbs Sampler for Animal Models (MTGSAM) software, using a sire-maternal grandsire model. The heritability estimates, provided by the binary and alternative models, were, respectively, 0.08 and 0.12 for STA and 0.17 and 0.12 for CP36. The multi-threshold model can efficiently detect the genetic variability for stayability, but not for probability of calving for 36-month-old cows.
Damage caused by cattle to Eucalyptus benthamii trees in pruned and unpruned silvopastoral systems

Published: August 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of tree pruning on the incidence and intensity of the damages caused by cattle to 26-month-old Eucalyptus benthamii, in a silvopastoral system, in the municipality of Pinhais, in the state Paraná, Brazil. The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design, with two treatments - livestock and forest with pruned eucalyptus (WP), and livestock and forest with unpruned eucalyptus (UP) - and three replicates, characterizing six types of damages and five damage intensities. There were significant differences between the WP and UP treatments for the different types of damages. Cattle entry in the silvopastoral system at 26 months after the planting of eucalyptus causes low-intensity damages to the trees, in the treatment with pruning, and medium-intensity damages to the trees in the treatment without pruning. Damages of stronger intensities were detected in the UP treatment, in which class-two damages (d2 = average damage) were verified in approximately 91% of the trees. The silvicultural practice of pruning E. benthamii trees does not affect the diameter at breast height or the total height of trees. Pruning can be recommended, as it does not affect tree development; moreover, this practice enables the production of knot-free, better-quality wood.

La descentralización de la práctica evaluativa orientada al autoaprendizaje del estudiante
Authors: Muñoz Daniel Ríos , Araya David Herrera
Published: August 2020

Resumen El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la descentralización evaluativa como una práctica democratizadora orientada a la participación y al fortalecimiento de los aprendizajes de los estudiantes. Desde una perspectiva interpretativa, se realiza una selección de la literatura especializada, considerando como criterios de revisión el rol de los agentes evaluativos, la autorregulación del aprendizaje y la descentralización evaluativa. El argumento central sostiene que la descentralización evaluativa consolida las prácticas reflexivas, críticas y autocríticas asociadas a los procesos de aprendizaje. Se concluye que es fundamental consolidar procedimientos de autoevaluación, coevaluación y evaluación de pares, con la finalidad de construir una evaluación como un espacio de negociación de significados e intersubjetividades que contribuyen a la creación de una cultura evaluativa focalizada en el progreso de los aprendizajes significativos y en la construcción de un estudiante más consciente de sí mismo.

ABSTRACT Objectives The hip-spine syndrome (HSS) is defined as the simultaneous degeneration of the hip and lumbar spine. The objective of this study is to quantify the sagittal balance values in the population with HSS and to compare them with the normal sagittal balance parameters. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in which 30 patients with HSS who were waiting for total hip arthroplasty (THA) were evaluated. The lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI) and spinopelvic harmony (SH) angles and the BMI of these patients were measured. Results Seventeen women and 13 men participated in the study, with a mean LL of 39.55°, a mean SS of 36.92°, a mean PT of 25.77°, a mean PI of 62.72°, a mean SH of 23.17° and a mean BMI of 25.55. Only the SS did not present a changed value when compared to the normal values of the population. Conclusions HSS is increasingly present in our environment due to the aging population. Sagittal balance is gaining more and more attention in studies related to spinal pathologies. All the parameters measured in this study, except for SS, presented altered values when compared to the populational means. Evidence Level II. Observational and retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether vertebral endplate signal changes (VESCs) influence the prognosis of patients submitted to conservative or surgical treatment for low back pain and lumbosciatica. Methods Study with 241 patients who underwent conservative treatment, infiltration or surgery with 12 months of follow-up. They were evaluated for pain by the Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS), for function by the Roland Morris questionnaire and for quality of life by the EuroQoI5 (EQ-5D). Results The VESCs did not have a significant effect on the treatment responses for the VAS (F = 0.03; P = 0.97), Roland Morris (F = 0.51; P = 0.60) and EQ-5D (F = 2.67; P = 0.07) variables, nor was there any interaction between VESC and treatment for VAS (F = 2.15; P = 0.08), Roland Morris (F = 1.55; P = 0.19) and EQ-5D (F = 2.15; P = 0.08). There was a significant effect for all treatments, however, the effect of the surgical procedure was superior when compared to the others (P <0.001). The VESC frequency was 48.33% for type 0, 29.17% for type I and 22.50% for type II. Conclusions The presence of VESC and its different types is not associated with a worse prognosis, nor was a higher prevalence of VESC observed in the patients with low back pain and lumbosciatica. Level of Evidence II; Retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT Objectives To adapt the adult spinal deformity frailty index (ASD-FI), which was presented as an instrument for stratification of risk of surgical complications, for application in the Brazilian population. Methods This is a consensus-building study, following the Delphi method, in which a team of six Brazilian spine surgery specialists worked alongside the International Spine Study Group (ISSG), the group responsible for preparing the original version of the ASD-FI, in order to adapt the index for the Brazilian population. The variables to be included in the new version, as well as the translation of the terminology into Portuguese, were evaluated and a consensus was considered to have been reached when all (100%) of the Brazilian experts were in agreement. Results A version of the ASD-FI was created, composed of 42 variables, with the inclusion of two new variables that were not included in the original version. The new version was then back translated into English and approved by the ISSG members, resulting in the adapted version of the ASD-FI for the Brazilian population. Conclusion This study presents an adapted version of the adult spinal deformity frailty index for the Brazilian population, for the purpose of risk stratification in the surgical treatment of these complex deformities. Level of evidence II; Study of adaptation of a valid score.

Published: August 2020

Abstract: Aim To test how different taxonomic and functional groups of aquatic insects from high-altitude streams respond to environmental and spatial gradients at multiple scales in Southeast of Brazil. Methods Specimens were collected in 26 high-altitude streams distributed over a gradient of previously defined environmental quality. The taxonomic identification was made at the genus level and the functional classification was based on traits of flight capacity and pollution tolerance compiled from specific literature. We obtained local in situ data (limnological, sediments, and organic matter), as well as calculated land use at the riparian and drainage basin scale. A variation partitioning approach was used to explain species composition based on different response matrices deconstructed by both taxonomic groups and functional traits. The explanatory matrices encompassed environmental variables at three spatial scales and spatial variables extracted from Principal Components of Neighbor Matrices analysis. A linear model was applied to verify the possible correlation between spatial and environmental components. Results The contribution of the spatial and environmental components varied strongly between taxonomic and functional groups. For taxonomic groups, the pure environmental component was more important for Odonata and Trichoptera, while spatial variables were more important for Diptera (non-Chironomidae) and Chironomidae, Coleoptera, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Megaloptera. The sensitive groups with good flight capacity showed a greater environmental signature while the tolerant groups with low flight capacity had a greater spatial signature. Moreover, the important variables for explaining community variation were from different spatial scale (local, riparian and watershed) depending either on the analyzed taxonomic or on functional groups. However, a general effect of forests was found in several groups. Conclusions It is necessary to consider the joint effect of evolutionary natural history of groups, as well as their functional traits in the structuring of metacommunities, since only taxonomic resolutions may not be sufficient to detect assembly processes at multiple spatial scales.
Shear modulus analysis of cross-laminated timber using picture frame tests and finite element simulations

Published: August 2020

Determining the mechanical properties of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels is an important issue. A property that is particularly important for CLT used as shear walls in buildings is the in-plane shear modulus. In this study, a method to determine the in-plane shear modulus of 3- and 5-layer CLT panels was developed based on picture frame tests and a correction factor evaluated from finite element simulations. The picture frame test is a biaxial test where a panel is simultaneously compressed and tensioned. Two different testing methods are simulated by finite elements: theoretical pure shear models as a reference cases and picture frame models to simulate the picture frame test setup. An equation for calculating the shear modulus from the measured shear stiffnesses in the picture frame tests is developed by comparisons between tests and finite element simulations of the CLT panels. The results show that pure shear conditions are achieved in the central region of the panels. No influence from the size of the tested panels is observed in the finite element simulations.

In this paper, a composite photocatalyst is prepared by using waste clay bricks to adsorb nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2), and a decorative concrete surface layer is made by using it. Then, it is found that reclaimed clay sand (RCA) prepared by building waste clay bricks has poor workability, with a relative strength between 40% and 80%, but can meet the strength requirements of ordinary building mortar. Compared with RCA, natural sand (NS) has lower water absorption, coarser particles and higher hardness. The relative strength of the mortar prepared using NS is between 50% and 80%, which also meets the basic strength requirements of the mortar. In terms of photocatalytic effect, the decorative concrete surface layer prepared using the composite photocatalyst has a good photocatalytic effect and can effectively degrade nitrogen oxide (NO x ) in automobile exhaust. The decorative concrete surface layer made of NS has lower nitrogen oxide degradation efficiency than RCA. The photocatalytic concrete surface layer prepared using RCA loaded with nano-titanium dioxide has good photocatalytic durability.

El presente documento tiene por propósito analizar la feminilización y feminización de la profesión contable en Colombia entre el 2001 y el 2018[1]; entendiendo como feminilización el incremento en la participación de las mujeres en una determinada profesión y por feminización los cambios de significado asociados al aumento cuantitativo de la participación femenina. La investigación es cualitativa; en primera instancia tiene una perspectiva cualitativa que pretende comprender y explicar los procesos que han incidido en la feminización de la profesión contable en Colombia, a través del análisis documental; posteriormente es cuantitativa porque procura analizar las mediciones realizadas sobre dicho fenómeno. Frente a los datos analizados se encontró que las mujeres constituyen una mayoría en el campo contable, aspecto que no necesariamente se ve contrastado con la remuneración laboral.

This study is devoted to development of a neural network based control system of robots group. The control system performs estimation of an environment state, searching the optimal path planning method, path planning, and changing the trajectories on via the robots interaction. The deep learning neural networks implements the optimal path planning method, and path planning of the robots. The first neural network classifies the environment into two types. For the first type a method of the shortest path planning is used. For the second type a method of the most safety path planning is used. Estimation of the path planning algorithm is based on the multi-objective criteria. The criterion includes the time of movement to the target point, path length, and minimal distance from the robot to obstacles. A new hybrid learning algorithm of the neural network is proposed. The algorithm includes elements of both a supervised learning as well as an unsupervised learning. The second neural network plans the shortest path. The third neural network plans the most safety path. To train the second and third networks a supervised algorithm is developed. The second and third networks do not plan a whole path of the robot. The outputs of these neural networks are the direction of the robot’s movement in the step k. Thus the recalculation of the whole path of the robot is not performed every step in a dynamical environment. Likewise in this paper algorithm of the robots formation for unmapped obstructed environment is developed. The results of simulation and experiments are presented.
CHERNOZEM SOIL GENETIC FEATURES DIAGNOSIS WITH MAGNETIC METHODS

The ecological-genetic status of soil is determined by the course of the soil-forming process and is the main factor in optimizing the agricultural use to achieve a sustainable state. The definition of a qualitative indicator of this status (KVAG) is developed in Ukraine and is characterized as costing and resource intensive. To solve the problem, it is proposed to replace agrochemical methods with less costly magnetic ones. The purpose of the study is to show the informativeness of geophysical methods for the indication of the process of pedogenesis on the example of chernozems podzolized of Kharkiv region. We used the standardized studies of determination of organic carbon content, determination of the particle size distribution of soil, and pH analysis. The characteristic of the sampling site on the slope was performed by determining the erosion hazard index. The mass-specific magnetic susceptibility of soil (MS) was determined and then calculated. The study sites were located at the area of distribution of chernozems podzolized in the northern part of Kharkiv district and the central part of Pechenigy district of Kharkiv region. Soil genetic identity has been determined initially at the large-scale survey map and refined by field studies. The erosion processes complicated the soil study at the slope. We registered high informativeness of MS for the indication of genetic status. MS is relevant to use not only within a single agrocenosis, but also in agrolandscapes for soils which pedogenesis is complicated by hydromorphism. The experiment was performed at one-lane terrace of the Siverskyi Donets River, where soils of varying degrees of hydromorphism are developed. Magnetic methods have significant outlook for their application in soil studies. The example of the podzolized soils investigation of Kharkiv region shows the possibility of the identification of hydromorphic processes in the lower part of the soil profile (decrease of the values of MS compared to the background). The example of the arable land shows the possibility of replacing the high-cost determining of the humus content by much cheaper MS as the indicator of ecological-genetic status of soil (KVAG). The correlation coefficient between the KVAG and KVAMS (based on the MS measuring) is: ρ = 0.901.

Published: August 2020

Remote psychological counseling with the use of telehealth technologies may be considered as one of the types of psychological and educational work with children. Due to the limitations of receiving full-time psychological and educational services, remote counseling may be the only available alternative support form for families of children with autism. This review of the Russian and international literature aims to reveal the general advantages and limitations of remote psycho-educational work and to identify existing protocols for conducting counseling. The data on studies in the field of online work with autistic children are presented. Concluded, that for successful online counseling of families of autistic children, four key conditions are necessary: professional qualities of a consultation provider, taking into account the family environment of the child, the presence of measurable characteristics of the intervention and the possibility of face-to-face interaction with the child.

La autodeterminación es uno de los constructos de mayor importancia para fomentar el bienestar y la autonomía de las personas con discapacidad intelectual, a quienes tradicionalmente se les ha negado la oportunidad de ser agentes causales de sus propias vidas. A pesar de la importancia de este tema, existe aún una gran escasez de herramientas que permitan evaluar la autodeterminación y que ofrezcan información útil para elaborar planes de intervención específicos. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en elaborar una escala objetiva de evaluación de la autodeterminación para jóvenes y adultos con discapacidad intelectual. Realizar un estudio Delphi con todos los agentes implicados (profesionales, familiares y personas con discapacidad) permitió crear un amplio pool de ítems que se aplicó a 165 participantes. Los datos ponen de manifiesto que la escala resultante cuenta con evidencias empíricas de validez y fiabilidad que garantizan la importancia de continuar investigando en esta línea.

Se presenta una evaluación de un proyecto educativo basado en la identificación con el patrimonio cultural inmaterial de un centro situado en una comunidad rural. Se analizan los aprendizajes de los alumnos sobre el carnaval tradicional de la comarca del Ulla (A Coruña). Se valora en qué medida el proyecto tiene impacto en la sociedad y el proceso de identificación del alumnado con las tradiciones de su entorno. La experiencia se ha desarrollado fuera del horario lectivo, y forma parte de un proyecto más amplio iniciado en 2016. Se pretende promover la construcción de una identidad inclusiva en una comunidad rural a partir del patrimonio cultural local, basada en el diálogo intergeneracional. Para ello es fundamental la implicación de la comunidad con el centro educativo. Participaron 44 escolares de educación primaria y secundaria y 22 vecinos adultos. Para tomar datos se emplea una metodología mixta mediante cuestionarios, narrativa con representación gráfica y grupo de discusión. Los resultados muestran la importancia y eficacia de las comunidades de aprendizaje que trascienden el trabajo dentro de las aulas. La colaboración de familiares y vecinos permite compensar la falta de participación del profesorado.Palabras clave: Evaluación de proyecto, Educación patrimonial, Educación basada en el lugar, Comunidad rural, Diálogo intergeneracional.

Published: August 2020

En las últimas décadas se están produciendo procesos de patrimonialización de las memorias olvidadas en distintos países, para lo que se utilizan, entre otros instrumentos de transmisión, las aplicaciones móviles desarrolladas por distintos agentes. En el presente trabajo, enmarcado dentro de una investigación más amplia, se realiza un estudio de casos de siete apps asociadas a esos procesos. Habiendo sido seleccionadas en una fase previa por su potencial educativo, el objetivo es ahora analizar de manera cualitativa las características de las mismas, para establecer las tendencias actuales en el tratamiento del tema y proponer posibles mejoras. Los resultados obtenidos certifican un amplio uso de testimonios o recuerdos personales en las apps, lo que contribuye a trabajar la empatía histórica, aunque la mayoría ofrecen un relato unilateral del conflicto en cuestión y no hacen uso de metodologías deliberativas para la reconstrucción común de hechos pasados.Palabras clave: Educación Patrimonial, Aplicaciones móviles, Memoria Histórica, Aprendizaje móvil, Conflictos sociales.
