Las dos Emmas: vida, trabajo y ficción
Authors: Rodríguez Fermín A.
Published: April 2021

La revelación por parte de “la obrera Zunz”, el personaje del cuento de Borges, de un poder de invención y de una iniciativa para actuar inédita para alguien de su clase y de su género, y su promoción de obrera textil a creadora y protagonista de una minuciosa urdimbre ficcional introducen una operación de desidentificación que la saca de la baja visibilidad en la que viven los sujetos anónimos de la literatura social. Esta duplicidad de Emma reaparece en la duplicidad de un relato lleno de dobleces, porque al desacuerdo entre la Emma que políticamente cuenta y la Emma que no cuenta para nada, le corresponde un desacuerdo literario entre dos tipos de relato: las tramas sin hilos sueltos de la literatura autónoma, diseñadas en torno a un principio de verosimilitud fuerte, y el texto impersonal de una ficción que se pierde en el tejido laxo de afectos y sensaciones de la vida moderna.
Traducción/traición: cuerpos y nombres en las prácticas artísticas de Effy Beth
Authors: Farneda Pablo
Published: April 2021

En este trabajo se indaga en profundidad la video-performance Pequeña Elizabeth Mati (Little Mermaid doblado al castellano) (2012) de la artista trans feminista Elizabeth Chorubczyk, y la relación que establece esta con su obra. A partir de allí se exploran las operatorias de traducción que la artista activa en torno a su lengua madre y a su país de origen (Israel) y a los modos que su familia tiene de nombrarla cuando aún era llamada como un varón (Mati). Interesa indagar qué estrategias para hacerse un cuerpo se ponen en juego a partir de la distorsión, apropiación e intervención de las discursividades hegemónicas, cuando la traducción traiciona dichos mandatos y discursos.
Rigour in the Management Case Study Method: A Study on Master's Dissertations
Authors: Varela Miguel , Lopes Paula , Rodrigues Rosa
Published: April 2021

Many authors argue that the case study is a valid and advantageous research method for certain studies, having been used as a method of academic research in the field of social sciences as well as in management. This research method is an integrated system and offers the opportunity for a holistic view that combines data collection methods such as archival searches, interviews, questionnaires and observation. The data collection needed to build a case study is labour-intensive, can last months or even years, and data overload seems almost inevitable. The case study is an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within a real-life context. In this research method, qualitative data usually predominates, but quantitative data often appears in case studies. Some research studies consider the case study to be a research method for validating and constructing theory. Other research highlights that all social science studies must start with a theory based on a review of the literature relating to the subject under investigation and this theory must then be validated through the study of a specific object, phenomenon or social problem. The key point is that before a theory can be validated, it must be constructed. In other words, a theory or theoretical framework first emerges not through a deductive process but through the inductive approach of studying an empirical case or object, and finally all theories are initially based on a case or object. This type of research has traditionally been considered soft, due to the inexistence of criteria that allow to evaluate its validity as a method to study a phenomenon in its real context. The present work is part of this theme and intends to contribute to diminish the perception about the lack of rigour associated with the case study. The present research focuses on the analysis of the methodological rigour of defended master's dissertations. In this context an investigation was undertaken of master's dissertations in the management area of a higher education management institution that use the case study as the research method. In order to achieve our goals, four hundred and forty-two master's dissertations defended in management scientific master's degrees in a Portuguese higher education institution which specializes in the area of economic and business sciences were analysed. The results of the qualitative research indicate that 40.0% of the dissertations focus on case studies. The results obtained lead us to conclude that in general the dissertations analysed present a high level of methodological rigour with respect to the object of study and a moderate level with respect to data analysis and results. The most critical aspects are the way data are collected, namely the use of multiple sources of evidence in less than half of the cases, which makes triangulation of data impossible.
Evaluation of political actors (Satirical Shows)
Authors: Nitsch Cordula , Lichtenstein Dennis
Published: April 2021

The variable “evaluation of political actors” examines which criteria are addressed in satirical shows to evaluate political actors. Evaluations can be based on role-specific criteria of political actors or on jokes that are related to politically irrelevant aspects such as personal traits, self-deprecation, and stereotypes (Emde & Scherer, 2016; Lichtenstein & Nitsch, 2018). The variable is an indicator for a show’s humor conventions as well as for the way the show deals with political content. The unit of analysis is the joke, which targets a political actor.

 

Field of application/theoretical foundation:

This variable is used to analyze the extent of substantial political information in satirical shows. It is also used to compare different types of satirical shows (e.g., Late Night Comedy news satire) or to assess the depiction of different political actors and whether or not they are embedded into different types of jokes.

Assessment and comparison of the morphology and function of the corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in type-1 diabetes mellitus patients and in healthy subjects
Authors: Derkac Irmante , Januleviciene Ingrida , Asselineau Kirwan , Velickiene Dzilda
Published: April 2021

Aim/purpose: It is believed that small nerve bundles are damaged in the earliest stages of neuropathy caused by diabetes mellitus (DM). Our goal was to evaluate and compare anatomical characteristics of corneal nerve fibers and corneal sensitivity in type-1 DM patients and in healthy control subjects.Design: A prospective, masked, controlled cross-sectional clinical study.Method: Thirty patients with type-1 DM and ten non-diabetic healthy subjects underwent a corneal confocal microscopy to evaluate the corneal sub-basal nerve fibers (density, number of nerves and branches, total nerve length) and contact corneal esthesiometry.Results: Diabetic patients had significantly lower corneal nerve fiber density density (14.32 ± 5.87 vs. 19.71 ± 5.59 mm/mm2; p = 0.023 ) nerve branches number (4.57 ± 3,91 vs. 9.90 ± 5.8 n°/image; p = 0.006) , nerve fiber length (2.28 ± 0.94 vs. 3.13 ± 0.89 mm; p = 0.032) and corneal sensitivity (1.13 ± 0.29 vs. 0.98 ± 0.058 gr/mm2 p = 0.02), as compared with controls. A negative correlation was found between corneal nerve fiber length, corneal nerve number, corneal nerve fiber density and disease duration (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Corneal confocal microscopy and corneal sensitivity evaluation are noninvasive techniques helping to detect early changes in the sub-basal nerve plexus characteristic for diabetic neuropathy (DN) in patients with type-1 DM. Further studies are required to investigate the role of corneal neuropathy assessment using these novel techniques as a toll to detect early DN.
Different IOP, different diseases?
Authors: Iester Michele , D’Alessandro Elisa
Published: April 2021

Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by typical optic nerve head changes and visual field defects. These alterations are caused by an intraocular pressure (IOP) being too high for the wellbeing of the specific optic disc. Typical clinical findings in glaucoma patients include thinning of the optic disc rim (Fig. 1), loss of retinal nerve fibers in the inferior sector with subsequent visual field defects in the superior sector.

Published: April 2021

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine ocular blood flow parameters that may predict structural and functional disease progression in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients of different diabetic status, gender, ethnicity, and body mass index (BMI).Methods: One hundred twelve patients with OAG were assessed for systemic blood pressure (BP), ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), retrobulbar blood flow, capillary blood flow, and optic nerve head morphology at baseline and every six months for a five-year period. Structural progression was monitored with optical coherence tomography and Heidelberg retinal tomography-III. Functional disease progression was monitored with automated perimetry using Humphrey visual fields. Factors associated with OAG structural and functional progression were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.Results: The following were associated with shorter time to structural progression: In diabetic patients, larger area of avascular space; in males, lower central retinal artery peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity; in patients of African descent, higher systolic BP and OPP; in obese patients, lower ophthalmic artery end diastolic velocity. The following were associated with shorter time to functional progression: In diabetic patients, cup area, cup volume, cup/disc area ratio, linear cup/disc ratio, mean cup depth, cup shape; in males, systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, systolic PP, diastolic PP, OPP, mean PP; in overweight patients, higher ophthalmic artery and central retinal artery resistive indices; in obese patients, lower central retinal artery resistive index.Conclusions: Structural and functional OAG disease progression may be influenced differently in patients based on diabetic status, gender, ethnicity, and BMI. Mathematical modeling of risk variables that takes into account demographic characteristics may assist in better identifying OAG progression risk.
Electro-fluid dynamics of aqueous humor production: simulations and new directions
Authors: Mauri Aurelio Giancarlo , Sala Lorenzo , Airoldi Paolo , Novielli Giovanni , Sacco Riccardo , Cassani Simone , Guidoboni Giovanna , Siesky Brent , Harris Alon
Published: April 2021

Purpose: to theoretically investigate the role of bicarbonate ion (HCO−3 ) on the nonpigmented transepithelial potential dierence Vm, the sodium potassium pump (Na/K) and the active secretion of aqueous humor.Methods: a three-dimensional mathematical model is proposed to isolate the roles of HCO−3 and Na+, which are diicult to investigate experimentally. The model combines the velocity-extended Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations to describe ion electrodiusion and the Stokes equations to describe aqueous humor flow into the basolateral space adjacent to the nonpigmented ephitelial cells.Results: Computations showthat Vm is close to baseline experimental measurements (on monkeys) in the range [−2.7,−2.3]mVonly if HCO−3 is included in the simulation. The model is also capable of reproducing the flow of Na+ exiting the cell and the flow of K+ entering the cell, in accordance with the physiology of the Na/K pump. The simulated Na/K ratio is 1.53, which is in very good agreement with the theoretical value of 1.5.Conclusion: Model simulations suggest that HCO−3 inhibition may prevent physiologically correct baseline values of the nonpigmented transepithelial potential difference and Na/K ATPase function. This may provide useful indication in the design of medications that decrease the active secretion of aqueous humor, and supports the advantage of using mathematical models as a noninvasive complement of animal models.
Theoretical predictions of metabolic flow regulation in the retina
Authors: Cassani Simone , Arciero Julia , Guidoboni Giovanna , Siesky Brent , Harris Alon
Published: April 2021

Purpose: This study uses a theoretical model to investigate the response of retinal blood flow to changes in tissue oxygen demand. The study is motivated by the need for a better understanding of metabolic flow regulation mechanisms in health and disease.Methods: A mathematical model is used to calculate retinal blood flow for different levels of tissue oxygen demand in the presence or absence of regulatory mechanisms. The model combines a compartmental view of the retinal vasculature and a Krogh cylinder description for oxygen delivery to retinal tissue.Results: The model predicts asymmetric behavior in response to changes in tissue oxygen demand. When all regulatory mechanisms are active, the model predicts a 6% decrease in perfusion when tissue oxygen demand is decreased by 50% and a 23% increase in perfusion when tissue oxygen demand is increased by 50%. In the absence of metabolic and carbon dioxide responses, the model predicts a constant level of blood flow that does not respond to changes in oxygen demand, suggesting the importance of these two response mechanisms. The model is not able to replicate the increase in oxygen venous saturation that has been observed in some flicker stimulation studies.Conclusions: The increase in blood flow predicted by the model due to an increase in oxygen demand is not in the same proportion as the change in blood flow observed with the same decrease in oxygen demand, suggesting that vascular regulatory mechanisms may respond differently to different levels of oxygen demand. These results might be useful for interpreting clinical and experimental findings in health and disease.
Role of ocular perfusion pressure in glaucoma: the issue of multicollinearity in statistical regression models
Authors: Guglielmi Alessandra , Guidoboni Giovanna , Harris Alon
Published: April 2021

Purpose: Intraocular pressure (IOP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SYS), diastolic blood pressure (DIA), ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) are important factors for clinical considerations in glaucoma. The existence of linear relationships among these factors, referred to as multicollinearity in statistics, makes it difficult to determine the contribution of each factor to the overall glaucoma risk. The aim of thiswork is to describe howto account for multicollinearity when applying statistical methods to quantify glaucoma risk.Methods: Logistic regression models including multicollinear covariates are reviewed, and statistical techniques for the selection of non-redundant covariates are discussed. A meaningful statistical model including IOP, OPP and SYS as non-redundant covariates is obtained from a clinical dataset including 84 glaucoma patients and 73 healthy subjects, and is used to predict the probability that new individuals joining the study may have glaucoma, based on the values of their covariates.Results: Logistic models with satisfactory goodness-of-fit to the clinical dataset include age, gender, heart rate and either one of the following triplets as covariates: (i)(SYS, DIA, OPP); (ii) (IOP, SYS, OPP); (iii) (IOP, SYS, DIA); or (iv) (IOP, SYS, MAP). Choosing triplet (ii), higher disease probabilities are predicted for higher IOP levels. Similar predictions in terms of disease probability can be obtained for dierent combinations of OPP, SYS and IOP.Conclusion: Multicollinearity does not allow to clearly estimate the single eect of an individual covariate on the overall glaucoma risk. Instead, statistically assessing the combined eects of IOP, OPP, and blood pressure provide useful predictions of disease probability.
Cerebrospinal fluid pressure and glaucoma
Authors: Wang Ningli , Yang Diya
Published: April 2021

Cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) and glaucoma relationship has aroused great interest in recent years. Before that, Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) has long being considered as the major risk factors for the development and progression of glaucomatous optic nerve damage [1]. However, numerous studies have shown that a relatively large number of patients with typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy (Normal Tension Glaucoma, NTG), in whom the IOP measurements have always been in the normal range (<21mmHg) [2]. Thus, it was illusive that why do NTG patients develop into glaucoma without high IOP? Are there factors other than IOP contributing to the pathogenesis of NTG? Has IOP becomes vague and controversial as the risk factor for glaucoma?
A model for tear film dynamics during a realistic blink
Authors: Maki Kara Lee , Henshaw William , McManus Alex , Braun Richard , Chapp Dylan , Driscoll Tobin
Published: April 2021

Each time one blinks, a stable tear film (TF) must reestablish itself on the ocular surface to ensure the function and health of the eye. Although the formation of the TF has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically, the influence of the lid dynamics on the TF formation is still not fully understood. Experimental instrumentation does not yet have the capability to estimate the TF thickness in vivo over the entire front of the eye, especially near the lids during a blink, where the eyelashes obstruct the view of the ocular surface. Additionally, a realistic blinking eyeshaped domain presents challenges in approximating themotion of the TF in theoretical studies. In thiswork,we overcome these theoretical challenges by implementing a moving overset grid method to study the influence of the lid motion on the formation of TF.
Gebe Sığırlara İnaktif Escherichia coli Aşısı Uygulamasının Kolostrum ve Buzağı Kan Serumlarındaki IgG Seviyelerine Etkisinin Araştırılması
Authors: GÜLHAN Timur , SANCAK Sinan
Published: April 2021

Bu çalışmada, gebe sığırlara uygulanan inaktif E. coli aşısının kolostrum ve buzağı kan serumlarındaki immunoglobulin (Ig) G seviyelerine olan etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Bu amaçla, gebeliklerinin farklı dönemlerindeki sığırlara (son 60 ve 30 gün) ticari bir inaktif E. coli aşısı uygulandı. Aşılanan sığırların kolostrumu ve bu kolostrumlarla beslenen buzağıların kan serumlarındaki IgG seviyeleri ELISA ile incelendi. Aşılama grupları ve kontrol grubu arasında IgG seviyelerindeki farklılıklar ölçülerek, gruplar arasındaki IgG değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Kolostrum örneklerine ait veriler incelendiğinde, kontrol grubu ile tek doz ve iki doz aşılanan hayvanlardan elde edilen sonuçlar arasındaki farkın önemli (p<0,001) olduğu belirlendi. Benzer şekilde buzağı serumlarına ait veriler değerlendirildiğinde; tek doz ve iki doz aşı yapılanan sığırların buzağılarında ölçülen kan serumu değerlerinde kontrol grubuna göre önemli oranda artış tespit edildi (p<0,001). Diğer yandan kontrol grubundaki 7 buzağının tamamında (%100), tek doz aşılanan sığırlara ait 7 buzağının 5’inde (%71,4) pasif transfer yetersizliği (PTY) görülürken, iki doz aşılanan 7 buzağının hiçbirinde PTY belirlenemedi. Böylece aşılanan hayvanlarda PTY oranlarında önemli oranda düşüş sağlanmış oldu. Sonuç olarak gebe sığırlara uygulanan inaktif E. coli aşısı ile oluşturulan immun yanıtın pasif olarak buzağılara transfer edildiği, gebe sığırların gebeliklerinin son 60 ve 30. gününde iki doz aşılamanın, tek doz aşılamaya göre daha etkili olduğu kanaatine varıldı.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS IN SOUTH OF WEST VIET NAM
Authors: Tran Hoang Van , Nguyen Hanh Thi Hong
Published: April 2021

The Southwest region is Viet Nam’s largest agricultural center, which not only ensures the country’s food security, but also contributies to the country’s exports. However, while many other regions are growing rapidly, the Southwest region is steadily behind in economic output. This study will focus on understanding the limitations and shortcomings in economic growth of the Southwest region. The results of the analysis showed that, under the negative impact of climate change along with sluggish restructuring, and lack of resources to invest in infrastructure, the economic growth rate of the region is slow and difficult. In addition, the phenomenon of net migration over time has made the region short of labor resources to meet the development needs of enterprises. Limited infrastructure along with a shortage of labor resources in both quantity and quality make the investment environment of the Southwest less attractive to investors. Thisseriously affects the region’s development expectations.
Which Period Should Be Chosen for Minimal Invasive Repair of Pectus Carinatum in Terms of Complications?
Authors: AKKUŞ Murat , APAYDIN Tuba
Published: April 2021

Background: Pectus carinatum (PC) presents with anterior protrusion of the chest wall in the childhood period and becomes more prominent during puberty. Optimum time for surgery concerns the life period with flexibility of the chest wall. However, today Abramson operation is performed for younger and adult patients by many surgeons. In this study, we aimed to compare the complication results of Abramson surgery for PC between pediatric, adolescent and adult groups, to indicate the optimal appropriate period for this surgery.Materials and Methods: From 2012 to 2018, 178 cases had symmetric-asymmetric PC identified. A total of 63 patients who could not use or had unsuccessful outcomes with a brace therapy were treated with Abramson surgery in our clinic. We classified patients into three groups: Pediatric (patients younger than 12 years), adolescent (patients between 13 and 16 years); and adult (patients between 17 and 20 years). We evaluated patients' demographics, and compared results of surgery, duration of hospitalization and complication rates.Results: Fifty patients were male and 13 were female. The age range was 8 to 20 years (mean 14.5±2.5 years). Symptomatic patients and chest pain in the preoperative period were seen more frequently in patients with older age, but this was not statistically significant (p:0.061, p:0.901, p:510). There was no significant difference between groups with respect to duration of operation, and duration of follow up (p:0.338, p:0.646, p:0.668). In the early 30-day postoperative period, no mortality was observed. In logistic regression analysis, postoperative complications increased in patients older than 17 years, but this wasn't statistically significant (p:0.256).Conclusions: The Abramson procedure is an effective and successful method with low complication rates in the group who do not benefit from a brace for treatment of pectus carinatum. However, complication rates may increase in the adult period, though this was not statistically significant.

Published: April 2021

Background: Blood viscosity (BV) is relationship cerebrovascular events. However, the association with between BV and clinical outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been studied. This study evaluated the relationship between whole blood viscosity (WBV) and clinical outcomes after AIS.Materials and Methods: The study enrolled 240 consecutive patients with AIS who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) between 2017 and 2019 years. The all patients were divided according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, as good (mRS 0–2) and poor (mRS 3–6) clinical outcomes group. WBV was calculated by the formula derived from total protein and haematocrit levels.Results: Poor clinical outcomes group presented significantly higher WBV values both at LSR and HSR (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis, both high WBV at LSR (Odd ratio: 2.679, p < 0.001) and high WBV at HSR (Odd ratio: 1.278, p < 0.001) were independent predictors for poor clinical outcomes. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, value of 16.1 WBV at HSR had 76.7% sensitivity and 76% specificity for predicting poor clinical outcomes and a value of 38.5 WBV at LSR had 75.3% sensitivity and 78% specificity for predicting poor clinical outcomes. There was a significant positive correlation between WBV at LSR and mRS score (0-6) (r = 0.457, p <0.001) and WBV at HSR and mRS score (0-6) (r = 0.452, p <0.001).Conclusions: Increased WBC may be independent risk factor and correlated with poor clinical outcomes in AIS patients treated with MT.

Authors: Karisma Gita
Published: April 2021

This research aims to explore pamswakarsa which was created by corporation and its position on on agrarian conflict in Lampung Province, Indonesia. By using qualitative approach through the methods of interviews and utilizing several related documents, this research finds that pamswakarsa is assumed as paramilitary. Pamswakarsa itself emerged while conflict is existing. It is not relavant enough to support the effort in achieving order and peaceful, as was legally mandated by the regulation from The Indonesian National Police through government regulation Number 43 the Year of 2012. Pamswakarsa tends to be involved in conflict and even has been the new actor/perpretrator against society.

Espectros del neoliberalismo. Economía de traspatio y necropolítica en México
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Márquez Covarrubias Humberto
Published: April 2021

En el concierto del capitalismo mundial, la economía mexicana es presentada como una de las más grandes y dinámicas. Destaca la exportación de productos maquilados (automóviles, electrónicos y aeroespaciales) y materias primas (minerales, petróleo y alimentos), aunque también de drogas y migrantes. En realidad funge como teatro de operaciones del capital rentista que orquesta megaproyectos extractivos, especuladores, maquiladores y criminales donde fluyen grandes cantidades de dinero y son acumuladas enormes fortunas, además de que el trabajo es precarizado y la naturaleza depredada. Un rasgo estructural es la transferencia del excedente hacia los centros de la economía mundial mediante el pago de deuda externa, remesas de ganancias, regalías, comercio intrafirma y fuga de capitales. La oligarquía ha sido beneficiada por la privatización y transferencia de recursos públicos; en tanto la clase política gestiona el proyecto neoliberal mediante la dominación y la violencia. El modelo económico tiene como trasfondo el expolio del fondo de vida obrero, la pauperización del pueblo, el despojo de bienes nacionales y comunales además de la abrogación de conquistas laborales y derechos sociales. En ese ámbito pervive una economía anclada al desvencijado mercado interno y la subsistencia familiar que permanece estancada y bajo acoso permanente.

Se ofrece una perspectiva acerca del desarrollo humano en Colombia en los últimos años. Al compararlo con los indicadores globales y con los de América Latina, Colombia mantiene un gran rezago histórico en la equidad y el bienestar, factores que se ubican por debajo del promedio de América Latina. Corregir tal desequilibrio es una necesidad imperiosa, a fin de que la sociedad colombiana confíe de nueva cuenta en sus instituciones y de ese modo se genere un ambiente de paz y bienestar.
Democracia y desigualdad: la construcción de la subdemocracia
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Caballero Anguiano Francisco Javier
Published: April 2021

El propósito es analizar la transición política en México y caracterizar la situación de la democracia en procesos semejantes en América Latina según el paradigma de la transición. En consecuencia, el texto aborda la transición democrática como un cambio que regresa sobre sus propios pasos y genera condiciones que perpetúan la desigualdad y la pobreza como resultado del acomodo específico de los grupos de poder. Se considera que a la democracia mexicana, y en general a la latinoamericana, le sucedió una situación análoga a lo acontecido en lo económico: la condición de subdesarrollo —en cuanto etapa estática que no trasciende al desarrollo— se replica en una subdemocracia, cuya única alternativa es una nueva intervención estatal, una redefinición disruptiva de los equilibrios entre grupos de poder y una participación ciudadana creciente que propicie un cambio social.
El subdesarrollo como contradicción consustancial del capitalismo: notas introductorias para la (re)construcción de un concepto
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Enríquez Pérez Isaac
Published: April 2021

Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, el presente artículo busca generar una revisión, una reflexión y una (re)construcción de la noción de subdesarrollo de acuerdo con las transformaciones contemporáneas y la intensificación de las desigualdades consustanciales al capitalismo y a su lógica disruptiva, conflictiva, asimétrica y polarizada. Por ello, se reconocen tres facetas que adopta: constructo teórico, proceso sustantivo de la realidad social e internacional y categoría ideológica enarbolada por elites políticas, funcionarios y expertos que elaboran un discurso desde los gobiernos nacionales, los organismos internacionales y las ONG para —en una cierta concepción— construir, tratar y mantener bajo control los problemas de las sociedades del Sur del mundo. En suma, se trata de formular algunas bases teórico conceptuales de lo que en la actualidad se entiende como subdesarrollo, así como identificar y caracterizar las distintas dimensiones que adquiere una condición de subdesarrollo, la cual se manifiesta más en territorios específicos que en un país o una región internacional.

Since deep learning applications in object recogni-tion, object detection, segmentation, and image generation are needed increasingly, related research has been actively conducted. In this paper, using segmentation and style transfer together, a method of producing desired images in the desired area in real-time video is proposed. Two deep neural networks were used to enable as possible as in real-time with the trade-off relationship between speed and accuracy. Modified BiSe Net for segmentation and Cycle GAN for style transfer were processed on a desktop PC equipped with two RTX-2080-Ti GPU boards. This enables real-time processing over SD video in decent level. We obtained good results in subjective quality to segment Road area in city street video and change into the Grass style at no less than 6(fps).

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology, Gandipet, Hyderabad, India., Saidulu Dr. V.
Published: April 2021

This paper studies the effect of dielectric cover layer thickness on circular microstrip patch antenna parameters such as gain, bandwidth, beam-width, radiation patterns, return loss and VSWR. The proposed antenna is designed with 2.4GHz frequency in S-Band region. This operating frequency useful in ISM band applications. Circular patch antenna is designed with cavity model analysis and simulated using HFSS simulation software (Electromagnetic simulator). The coaxial probe fed is used for antenna design. In this paper the effect of dielectric cover layer on antenna parameters studied experimentally and comparing their performance characteristics. The simulation results shows that the antenna without dielectric cover layer obtained gain is 4.11dB and antenna with dielectric cover the gain is reduced to 2.87dB to 5.88dB based on thickness of the dielectric cover layer. The antenna bandwidth obtained without dielectric cover is 3% and with dielectric cover its bandwidth is reduced from 0.012GHz to 0.052GHz based on thickness of the cover layer effect. Similarly other parameters are investigated and compared. This proposed circular patch antenna is used in wireless and Wi-Fi applications.

Conflicts in construction projects seem an increasingly prevalent phenomenon in Kenya, perhaps because of the projects’ uncertainty, complexity, and diversity of participants. Management of these conflicts remains ineffective, an occurrence that creates a major obstacle to the success of project implementation, usually leading to an increase in project cost, delayed project completion, and in worst cases suspension of the project. A review of literature has revealed the negative role played by conflict on project success.This study sought to investigate the practice of conflict management in construction projects in Kenya to develop a schematic framework for managing conflicts, using project harmony potential as a measure of the availability of conflicts or their lack in construction projects. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. Construction projects registered with NCA in the last five years within Nairobi and having the embedded unit of analysis of project participants under this study were sampled using the cluster method. Questionnaires were administered to project developers, contractors, and consultants working in consultancy or contractor firms randomly sampled. The study used inferential analysis of bivariate Pearson’s correlation and Regression analysis to determine the significant factors affecting the project harmony potential as well as establish a predictive model. The study demonstrated that there was a positive and statistically significant linear relationship between project harmony potential and delay management, project team partnering orientation, direct provisions for conflict management in the Project Handbook, promptness of Monitoring and Evaluation work, CPM (Construction Project Manager) technical experience, and communication plan. These factors were considered to be critical factors for the project harmony potential for construction projects in Kenya. A model was established using these variables and was found to explain 69.1% of the project harmony potential. The developed model will be useful in predicting the harmony potential of a project during implementation.
