Tryb rozpoznawania przychodów z umów o budowę zgodnie z MSSF 15 „Przychody z umów z klientami”
Authors: Gierusz Jerzy , Szumisz Artur
Published: July 2020

Objective: To conduct an analysis of the methodology used to recognise revenue from construction contracts as per IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers.” An auxiliary goal is to compare and contrast IFRS 15 and the superseded IAS 11 “Construction contracts”.Research Design & Methods: A critical analysis of Polish and foreign professional literature and International Financial Reporting Standards. The article also draws on the author’s personal experience with implementing IFRS 15.Findings: IFRS 15 provides a five-step revenue recognition model which introduces two new important elements: 1) in the case of multiple deliverables – the obligation to split the contract into separate performance obligations, 2) the obligation to determine if transfer of control over the goods provided or services rendered takes place at a specific point in time or over a period of time.Implications / Recommendations: Implementation of IFRS 15 requires coordination of financial management with operating activities as well as a focus on forecasting and budgeting supported by IT systems which are tailored to the needs of construction project management.Contribution: IFRS 15 is a standard indicating the prospective orientation of financial accounting. It emphasises the key role of forecasts and budgets in the preparation of financial statements. It also integrates financial and management accounting.

Authors: Manirakiza Achille Van Christ , Rubagumya Fidel , Ngendahayo Louis
Published: July 2020

Burundi is a landlocked country in the East Central Africa region. Beyond a long civil war strife, cancer care remains overlooked, in terms of both infrastructure and human resources needs, and it shows from estimated global incidence and mortality figures. Through a focused literature search, this study highlights the main cancer care needs in this country, with the aim to gather global oncology support to Burundi.

Implications for Practice

There is little knowledge about the state of oncology in Burundi. This article, based on a literature search, depicts an image of the current state of cancer care in Burundi and aims to compel global health enthusiasts to join in curbing the death toll of cancers in Burundi.
Rocking response of structures with shallow foundations on thin liquefiable layers
Authors: Adamidis Orestis , Madabhushi S. P. Gopal
Published: July 2020

In the event of earthquake-induced liquefaction, structures with shallow foundations can suffer excessive settlement and rotation. In this paper, the rotational response of structures with shallow foundations resting on liquefiable layers with thickness equal to or smaller than the width of the foundation is examined through a series of dynamic centrifuge experiments. Moment–rotation backbone curves are extracted and the corresponding evolution of rocking stiffness with increasing rotation is depicted, in normalised terms. A stiffness attenuation relation is proposed, which can be used for simplified predictions of maximum and residual rotation using rotational spring and dashpot models. Two such examples are presented, one using an iterative, equivalent-linear rotational spring approximation, and one using Masing's rules for cyclic response, extended with Pyke's hypothesis.

Significance Statement

The functional basis of the spatial cytoskeletal organization in the kidney podocyte that gives rise to its unique interdigitating morphology has been elusive. An integrative approach identified a novel podocyte-specific actin-associated protein, LIM-nebulette, that brings vimentin intermediate filaments to actin microfilaments, promoting mechanical stability, by regulating focal adhesions, calcium dynamics, and Rho GTPase activity. Silencing of LIM-nebulette is associated with aberrant biophysical properties in human podocytes in culture as well as with multiple glomerulopathies in patients, at both the RNA transcript and protein levels.

Background

Maintenance of the intricate interdigitating morphology of podocytes is crucial for glomerular filtration. One of the key aspects of specialized podocyte morphology is the segregation and organization of distinct cytoskeletal filaments into different subcellular components, for which the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Methods

Cells from rats, mice, and humans were used to describe the cytoskeletal configuration underlying podocyte structure. Screening the time-dependent proteomic changes in the rat puromycin aminonucleoside–induced nephropathy model correlated the actin-binding protein LIM-nebulette strongly with glomerular function. Single-cell RNA sequencing and immunogold labeling were used to determine Nebl expression specificity in podocytes. Automated high-content imaging, super-resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), live-cell imaging of calcium, and measurement of motility and adhesion dynamics characterized the physiologic role of LIM-nebulette in podocytes.

Results

Nebl knockout mice have increased susceptibility to adriamycin-induced nephropathy and display morphologic, cytoskeletal, and focal adhesion abnormalities with altered calcium dynamics, motility, and Rho GTPase activity. LIM-nebulette expression is decreased in diabetic nephropathy and FSGS patients at both the transcript and protein level. In mice, rats, and humans, LIM-nebulette expression is localized to primary, secondary, and tertiary processes of podocytes, where it colocalizes with focal adhesions as well as with vimentin fibers. LIM-nebulette shRNA knockdown in immortalized human podocytes leads to dysregulation of vimentin filament organization and reduced cellular elasticity as measured by AFM indentation.

Conclusions

LIM-nebulette is a multifunctional cytoskeletal protein that is critical in the maintenance of podocyte structural integrity through active reorganization of focal adhesions, the actin cytoskeleton, and intermediate filaments.
Transversus abdominis plane block as a sole anesthetic technique for evacuation of rectus abdominis muscle hematoma - A case report -
Authors: Kim Young-Mu , Hyun Dong-Min , Kim Hyun-Soo , Kim Jin Sun
Published: July 2020

Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks have been used for analgesia in various abdominal surgeries. However, a TAP block as the sole anesthetic method for surgery has rarely been reported.Case: A 33-year-old breastfeeding primipara woman was admitted to the hospital due to a rectus abdominis muscle hematoma. Because the patient refused other anesthetic methods, evacuation of the hematoma was performed under an ultrasound-guided bilateral TAP block. A 23-gauge needle was inserted in an in-plane method using a linear ultrasound probe. An injection of 10 ml of 2% lidocaine was made to the right lateral TAP and the left lateral TAP. After confirming the sensory blockade of the T10 to T12 dermatomes, surgery was performed successfully. The patient’s condition stabilized during the surgery. Breastfeeding was performed on the day of surgery. Conclusions: The evacuation of an abdominal wall hematoma in a breastfeeding patient was successfully performed under a bilateral TAP block.
Evaluation of changes in anesthetic methods for cesarean delivery: an analysis for 5 years using the big data of the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service
Authors: Park Ji In , Park Sang Hi , Kang Min Seok , Kang Gil Won , Kim Sang Tae
Published: July 2020

Background: As an anesthesia induced during cesarean section, spinal anesthesia is preferred over general and epidural anesthesia. This study aimed to review the trend of anesthetic methods for cesarean section based on data obtained from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service from 2013 to 2018.Methods: The anesthetic methods were analyzed in 753,285 parturients who underwent a cesarean section in Korea from 2013 to 2018. We determined the association between each anesthetic method and hospital type and maternal and fetal factors. We also evaluated whether the anesthetic method was associated with the parturients’ length of hospital stay.Results: General anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, and epidural anesthesia were induced in 28.8%, 47.7%, and 23.6% of parturients from 2013 to 2018, respectively. Trend analyses showed that spinal anesthesia increased from 40.0% in 2013 to 53.7% in 2018. The opposite trend applied to general anesthesia, decreasing from 37.1% in 2013 to 22.2% in 2018. The factors that were significantly associated with the anesthetic method were parturient’s parity, emergency condition, gestational age, and fetal weight. The type of hospital, parturient’s age, and multiple birth were also associated with the anesthetic methods. There was a strong association between general anesthesia and hospital stay longer than 7 days.Conclusions: Spinal anesthesia is currently the main anesthetic method used for cesarean delivery, and the rate of spinal anesthesia is gradually increasing in Korea.

Published: July 2020

BackgroundAn airway assessment is usually best performed before an elective operation. But in an emergency operation, proper airway assessment can often be difficult. Fiberoptic intubation is a powerful and safe technique to deal with airway difficulty, but it requires a lot of training to be able to perform correctly. There are various specialized oral airways for fiberoptic intubation, but none of them have perfect functionality.CaseA 75-year-old male (body weight 71.6 kg, height 159.3 cm, body mass index 28.22 kg/m2) was diagnosed with acute appendicitis, and it was decided to do a laparoscopic appendectomy. After the induction of general anesthesia, it was impossible to insert the direct laryngoscope deep enough for vocal cord visualization without damaging the teeth because of limited mouth opening. We successfully performed fiberoptic intubation with a newly modified Guedel airway via a longitudinal channel on the convex side and a distal opened lingual end.ConclusionsOur modified Guedel airway can be useful in assisting fiberoptic intubation in unexpectedly difficult airway situations.
Invisible perforation during an endoscopic procedure of the esophagus under general anesthesia
- A case report -
Authors: Heo Hyun Joo , Lee Ji Hye , Kim Yu Yil , Baek Seung Min , Kim Ki Man , Jung Da Wa
Published: July 2020

Background: Endoscopic procedures of the esophagus are more complicated than those of other regions of the gastrointestinal tract. They have a relatively long procedure time and high risk of complications, such as perforation and bleeding. Perforations that occur during the procedure can accompany pneumoperitoneum and pneumomediastinum through leakage of insufflation air and cause severe ventilatory impairment.Case: A 58-year-old male patient underwent enucleation of leiomyoma in the esophagus using endoscopy under general anesthesia. Ventilatory impairment occurred 15 min after commencement of the procedure. Subsequently, subcutaneous emphysema and severe abdominal distension were observed. We suggested the possibility of microperforation during the procedure to the endoscopist, and he performed endoscopic clipping around the excision site of leiomyoma. Conclusions: Providing anesthetic care by anesthesiologists during endoscopic procedures is considered necessary for patient safety. Complications of endoscopic procedures can be detected and managed early without sequelae during anesthetic care.
A importância do personal branding como elemento de relações públicas: uma experiência de avaliação internacional
Authors: Molares-Cardoso Julinda , Aguileta Carmen López de , Legerén Lago Beatriz
Published: July 2020

A presente investigação examina o grau de conhecimento que os estudantes de comunicação detêm sobre o assunto da marca pessoal (personal branding) e sobre a importância da sua gestão no contexto das relações públicas. A marca pessoal diz respeito à perceção que um indivíduo gera na mente de outros e está diretamente relacionada com a capacidade de criar vínculos de natureza emocional e de estabelecer relacionamentos. A gestão de uma marca pessoal não significa desenhar e aplicar uma estratégia egocêntrica, mas, antes, a procura das características distintas de cada pessoa, de acordo com parâmetros de autenticidade e coerência, que são colocados ao serviço de todos. A partir de uma revisão da literatura, determinaram-se as ferramentas e os recursos de que cada indivíduo dispõe para gerir a sua marca pessoal. Em seguida, utilizou-se uma metodologia quantitativa, através da aplicação de questionários de resposta fechada, com os quais se recolheram as opiniões de trezentos estudantes de três universidades – duas espanholas e uma portuguesa. A análise dos dados revelou um interesse crescente na área das marcas pessoais e na procura de formação sobre o tema. Os estudantes portugueses, em geral, manifestam uma opinião mais definida e uniforme. Já os estudantes espanhóis mostram perspetivas menos concordantes.

Authors: Fernández-Souto Ana Belén , Vázquez-Gestal Montse , Puentes-Rivera Iván
Published: July 2020

Este é um estudo no qual se explora a abordagem de comunicação de crise utilizada pelas empresas galegas classificadas como “altamente poluentes”. Tendo como ponto de partida o Registro Estatal de Emisiones y Fuentes Contaminantes do Ministerio de la Transición Ecológica (PRTR Espanha), foi estabelecido o universo de estudo e analisou-se a atividade comunicativa das 87 empresas sediadas na Galiza, que possuem o maior índice de emissões poluentes (soma de resíduos e emissões do ano de 2016), através da realização de entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados foram comparados com aqueles que foram obtidos no ano de 2014, na primeira fase do estudo, que incluiu a recolha de informações de 120 empresas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise da gestão de crise destas empresas e, assim, avaliar a atividade comunicativa do setor, bem como a sua evolução nos últimos anos (2014-2016).
Relações públicas e campanhas sobre segurança rodoviária e consumo de drogas: avaliação da eficácia em meios audiovisuais
Authors: Paricio Esteban María Pilar , Puchalt López María , Femenia Almerich Sandra
Published: July 2020

Esta investigação mede a eficácia das relações com os média em campanhas sobre segurança rodoviária e drogas. Espanha consta entre os países europeus com maior sinistralidade rodoviária por consumo de drogas (Instituto Nacional de Toxicología y Ciencias Forenses, 2017) e, em consequência, diversas organizações realizam campanhas de prevenção. Xifra (2011) vincula este tipo de campanhas sociais às relações públicas, já que as relações com os média (Wilcox, Cameron & Xifra, 2012) são fundamentais para o seu efeito, na medida em que amplificam as mensagens (Castillo, 2009) e influenciam a agenda pública (McCombs & Shaw, 1972). Os estudos anteriores sobre este assunto não se debruçaram sobre as campanhas de televisão e de rádio que abordam a toxicodependência e a segurança rodoviária, justificando-se, assim, este trabalho. Para realizar esta investigação utilizou-se uma metodologia de carácter qualitativo e quantitativo que combinou as entrevistas semiestruturadas com líderes de organizações responsáveis pela criação de campanhas de segurança rodoviária (Direção Geral de Tráfego, Fundação de Ajuda contra a Dependência de Drogas e Fundação Mapfre) com o método de medição da exposição à mensagem (Castillo & Álvarez, 2015), o qual inclui a análise da cobertura, do impacto económico e do conteúdo de 10 campanhas veiculadas entre 2011 e 2015. Os resultados mostraram que as campanhas tiveram como objetivos o conhecimento, a consciencialização e a educação, mediante a aposta em estratégias combinadas. Para tal, utilizaram meios de comunicação de massa, em particular a televisão. A educação, a dissuasão e a saúde predominaram nos enquadramentos das campanhas, que privilegiaram a cannabis e o álcool como substâncias perigosas. No que respeita à cobertura mediática destes anúncios, registaram-se 375 informações difundidas em quatro meses. Da análise do seu conteúdo, pode destacar-se o predomínio de mensagens informativas (93%), a sua veiculação em noticiários (56,2% na televisão e 50,6% na rádio) e a atualidade em matéria de acontecimentos. A substância mais tratada é o álcool (90%). Apesar das entrevistas evidenciarem a utilização de meios de massa, em particular a televisão, a baixa cobertura e a escassa continuidade não faz com que o tema esteja presente na agenda mediática ou pública. Além disso, o enquadramento e a tematização que se geraram não foram ao encontro dos objetivos desejados pelas organizações que criaram as campanhas.
Promoção turística no Twitter

Published: July 2020

O turismo representa uma importante fonte de receita em muitos países. Cientes deste facto, os governos ibero-americanos procuram apostar na comunicação digital para se promoverem e para se posicionarem como destinos turísticos. O Twitter é uma das redes sociais mais influentes no âmbito comercial, devido à quantidade de conversações que produz em torno das marcas, acrescentando valor à sua imagem e influenciando as decisões de compra. Para além disso, também é uma ferramenta útil para recolher as opiniões dos utilizadores, pela facilidade de monitorização que fornece. Esta rede permite, ainda, que as organizações prestem uma atenção personalizada e imediata aos seus públicos, proporcionando-lhes experiências de contacto mais agradáveis. Este trabalho investiga a presença dos governos ibero-americanos no Twitter, bem como a sua interação com os turistas 2.0. Para tal, realizou-se uma análise comparativa entre os meses de março e agosto (incluindo épocas alta e baixa) de 2015 e 2018. Os resultados mostraram que os governos ibero-americanos utilizam o Twitter como plataforma de comunicação e de promoção turística, mas sem a presença de uma estratégia de comunicação que fortaleça a imagem e o posicionamento do destino turístico. Não é de estanhar, por isso, que se verifique a falta de planeamento da presença na rede, já que se alternam períodos de excessiva participação no Twitter com fases de abandono, o que incide nos índices de participação do turista e no envolvimento alcançado.

O artigo foca nas concepções de psicólogas/os dos Centros de Referência em Assistência Social de Salvador - Ba que recebem demandas escolares.  O estudo faz parte de uma ampla pesquisa de Viégas (2013; 2014; 2016) que identificou a insuficiência de psicólogas/os atuando no campo da educação e encaminhamentos dirigidos a outros serviços públicos que dispõem de atendimento psicológico. O estudo utilizou o método qualitativo, entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis profissionais de psicologia que atuam nos CRAS. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio, transcritas e analisadas através da articulação de seus conteúdos com os estudos da educação e a construção do espaço das/os psicólogas/os na assistência social considerando as questões envolvidas nessa política pública. Os resultados apontam a necessidade de ampliação das concepções/visões dos profissionais, da construção de novas referências técnicas e o desenvolvimento de ideias, políticas e estratégias para atuação frente a essas demandas. Tais mudanças nas concepções podem promover melhorias nas suas práticas no atendimento de queixas encaminhadas pelas escolas.
RNA-Stable Isotope Probing v1
Authors: Angel Roey , Petrova Eva , Lara Ana
Published: July 2020

The following protocol describes how to perform an RNA-Stable Isotope Probing experiment. The scope of this protocol only covers the parts involving separating labelled RNA from unlabelled RNA using ultracentrifugation in a caesium trifluoroacetate density gradient and downstream quantification to evaluate whether the labelling and separation of the RNA were successful. Total RNA should be extracted from an environmental sample or an enrichment culture that was incubated with an isotopically-labelled substrate. Labelling can be of the carbon, oxygen or nitrogen in the RNA (or any combination of the 3). For environmental samples, we recommend extracting RNA using our protocol Total Nucleic Acids Extraction from Soil and purifying it using the Purification of RNA from Crude NA Extract protocol. This protocol is based on the following papers: Whiteley et al. (2007); Dumont et al. (2011); Angel and Conrad (2013). For a comprehensive discussion on how to design a SIP experiment and how to analyse the resulting data, we recommend referring to the recent book on the subject: Stable Isotope Probing: Methods and Protocols, especially chapters: 1-3 and 9-18.
Presentación: Marx y la crítica radical
Authors: Gómez Osorio Juan David
Published: July 2020

De entre los múltiples intentos por invalidar el pensamiento de Karl Marx quizá el más efectivo en términos teóricos haya sido precisamente el de darle al pensador su lugar en la historia de las ideas: se dice de él que es un crítico importante de la economía de mercado, cuyos razonamientos eran aplicables mayoritariamente al capitalismo del siglo XIX, pero que, ante las transformaciones y los avances económicos, políticos y, en definitiva, humanos del capitalismo contemporáneo, sus conceptos y reflexiones quedaron obsoletos para el presente. En respuesta a esta actitud, numerosos teóricos han mostrado que mientras la contradicción entre trabajo asalariado y capital —punto nodal del análisis económico de Marx— siga estando a la base del sistema de producción social, la estructura de la crítica a la economía política marxista seguirá siendo actual; independientemente de si el trabajador luce como el proletario del siglo XIX, el oficinista del siglo XX o el freelancer del siglo XXI.
A Steiner Zone Approach for Mobile Data Collection in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: ŞENTURK İzzet
Published: July 2020

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) typically operate in harsh environmental conditions. Hardware constraints and external damage from inhospitable surroundings leave the nodes susceptible to node failures. Depending on the damage scale, the network can be subject to partitioning which segments the network into multiple isolated connected components. A prompt reactive approach to restore network connectivity is to employ a mobile data collector (MDC) that visits and collects data from partitions periodically. Availability of the wireless data communication through multi-hop routing in a partitioned network complicates designating the shortest possible route for data collection. This paper regards the mentioned data collection problem as the Close-enough Traveling Salesman Problem (CETSP) and employs Steiner zone approach to designate respective data collection points for corresponding partitions. We have assessed the proposed approach in terms of the number of points visited for data collection and the total travel distance of the MDC. Obtained results indicate that the proposed approach can reduce the number of data collection points up to 67% and total travel distance up to 42%.

Published: July 2020

Antimony and its compounds are widely used in industry, making it one of the priority pollutants of air and the aquatic environment. Excess of antimony is selectively concentrated in a thyroid gland, a liver, a spleen. The manifestation of the toxic effect of antimony is a variety of impaired functions of the human body, so the content of this element in drinking water normalizes is at the level of 5 μg/l. Recently, tellurium has also been increasingly the subject of research by analyst chemists. Tellurium is a biologically active element and its concentrations in the environment are strictly regulated. According to sanitary rules and regulations, the maximum allowable concentration of tellurium in drinking water is 0.01 mg/l.

The article is devoted to the elaboration of solid-phase reagents based on the quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) immobilized on silica gel and to the development on this basis of sorption-spectrometric and visual test-methods of the determination of Sb(III) and Te(IV). The mechanism of the interaction between QAS immobilized on silica gel and the anions iodide complex of antimony and tellurium was studied. It was found that it proceeds by the ion-associative mechanism. Conditions of sorption preconcentration of anionic complexes of elements were optimized. For the quantitative sorption of antimony (III), the weight of the sorbent is 0.020 g and the volume of the solution is 25.0 ml. Under these conditions, the anionic complex is sorbed by 98%. The maximum concentration ratio is 1.25 l/g. The sorption equilibrium in the system is established in 20 minutes. For the quantitative extraction of tellurium (IV), the optimal weight of the sorbent is 0.050 g and a solution volume of 25.0 ml. Under these conditions, the degree of sorption reaches about 80%. The maximum concentration ratio is 0.4 l/g. The sorption equilibrium in the system is established in 15 minutes. The influence of foreign ions on the extraction degree of the investigated elements, and also on the magnitude of analytical signal, was studied.

THE CONCEPT OF INFORMATION (WORLDVIEW) SECURITY OF INTERNET-MEDIA COMMUNICATION IN THE ASPECT OF FORENSIC SPEECH EXAMINATION
Authors: Galyashina E. I.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the conceptual problems of using special knowledge of speech-language expertise to ensure information (worldview) security in the Russian Federation. The article considers speech actions in Internet media that infringe on information (worldview) security, aimed at eroding traditional Russian spiritual and moral values by promoting permissiveness and violence, racial, national and religious intolerance. Specifi c features of computer-mediated communication are described. It is concluded that the essential property that determines any speech actions that pose a threat to worldview security is the content-semantic orientation (communicative goal) of the text to compel Internet users to accept the imposed views and ideals through propaganda techniques, hidden persuasion, speech manipulation and language violence.

Authors: Meng Xing , Papaelias M , Melton G
Published: July 2020

In this study, the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process was applied to high-carbon steel plates in order to simulate hot cracking in welds. A customised acoustic emission (AE) system was used to capture the AE waveforms generated during welding and cooling of the sample plates.
The AE signals were analysed using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and short-time Fourier transform (STFT) algorithms. Comparison of the features arising from different sources observed in the frequency spectra of the acquired AE signals was carried out. The results demonstrate the possibility
of applying the AE technique for monitoring and detecting signals generated from cracking activities using frequency domain analysis.
An improved design of shear horizontal guided wave electromagnetic acoustic transducer
Authors: Zhang Xu , Feng Sheng , Tu Jun , Song Xiaochun
Published: July 2020

This work proposes the use of a Halbach magnet structure to enhance the generation efficiency of shear horizontal (SH) guided waves on a plate. SH waves are normally generated using periodic permanent magnet (PPM) electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs). Two PPM configurations
are designed using a Halbach magnet array and the enhancements of the static magnetic fields of the two magnet arrays are validated by the finite element method, indicating that these configurations can increase the peak flux density compared with the conventional configuration. Numerical
analysis and experimental investigations indicate that a racetrack coil combined with either a rectangular or triangular Halbach magnet array can enhance the amplitude of the SH guided wave by factors of ∼1.2 and ∼1.1, respectively, and that the rectangular array performs better and
is more cost effective.
Stoichiometric ratios in the soil of native and forage areas in a seasonally dry tropical forest

Published: July 2020

The availability of potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the soil affects the nutrition and productivity of the plant cover. The Ca:Mg, Ca:K and Mg:K stoichiometric ratios indicate the nutrient load balance in the soil. However, limited attention has been paid to providing a scientific basis for how changes in land use, especially the cultivation of forage, impacts the availability and reserves of base cations in semi-arid regions, since, in these environments, fertiliser is not used. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify the concentrations of soil K, Ca and Mg in areas of preserved Caatinga (PC), and areas where buffel grass (BG) has been cultivated for 40 years and Leucaena grass (LE) for 11 years. Four 100 x 100 cm trenches were opened in each type of plant cover and collections were made in the 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 and 15-20 cm layers. The concentrations of K, Ca and Mg and their ratios were determined and compared using the Mann-Whitney test. The soil under buffel grass showed higher concentrations of K and Mg, and a lower concentration of Ca. Compared to PC, LE presented a lower Ca content in the 0-5 cm layer only. BG had the lowest values for the Ca:Mg and Ca:K stoichiometric ratios due to depletion of the Ca. Despite being soluble and easily leached, K remained in the soil under each type of cover, favoured by the semi-arid climate. Soil Ca, which is exported due to grazing of the produced biomass, should be replaced so as not to compromise the support capacity of seasonally dry tropical environments through the cultivation of forages.
Dificultades en habilidades de alfabetización emergente en preescolares con trastorno específico del lenguaje. Revisión sistemática
Authors: Vargas Nicole B.
Published: July 2020

Aunque la investigación sugiere que los niños con Trastorno Especifico del Lenguaje (TEL) están en riesgo de problemas de lectura, la investigación sobre el desarrollo de la alfabetización emergente es limitada. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo era revisar sistemáticamente la investigación emergente de alfabetización con esta población. Las búsquedas en la base de datos de 1998 a 2018 arrojaron cuatro artículos que cumplían los criterios de inclusión/exclusión. Los resultados sugirieron dificultades en las habilidades de alfabetización emergente en niños con TEL. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de más investigación, especialmente en hispanohablantes.
interpretación literaria como diálogo entre posiciones
Authors: Álvarez-Bernárdez Paula-Reyes , Monereo Carles
Published: July 2020

La interpretación de una lectura es un acto dialógico, un espacio de encuentro de diferentes voces que confluyen en la mente del lector. Entre esas voces, se encuentran las que el lector reconoce en la propia obra —personajes, narrador, autor— así como aquellas voces que invoca y cuya procedencia reside en experiencias y conocimientos anteriores, por ejemplo: voces propias, voces de personas cercanas, voces de otros autores y personajes, etc. Todas ellas, modelan los pensamientos y decisiones del lector, y lo orientan en su interpretación y comprensión de la obra. Pero esas voces no siempre conviven en armonía, sino que pueden aparecer en conflicto, enfrentadas, contrapuestas. Es en esa dinámica dialógica donde cobran especial relevancia las voces más centrales que integran a otras, pues de ellas dependerá la interpretación final del lector. El estudio que presentamos pretende ofrecer una explicación integral y comprensiva del proceso de interpretación literaria a partir de la revisión de la Perspectiva Dialógica de Mijaíl Bajtín y de la Teoría del Yo Dialógico de Huber Hermans. Ambas definen al buen lector como un agente consciente y activo cuando afronta una actividad lectora compleja, como es la literaria.

Intelligent Traffic Control System Using Ad-Hoc Wireless sensor Systems
Authors: Henderson J. Isaac , Aravind M.
Published: July 2020

This paper deals with designing an automatic traffic control  system which works on principle of TRAFFIC DENSITY monitored by  Sensors on each side which provides direct information to microcontroller  which rerforms decision making to allow traffic based on density. The three density zones are low, medium and high. In each zone an ad hoc sensor is placed. Each sensor will check the presence of the vehicle in the zone using infrared technology and then ad hoc sensor sends the data to master ad hoc. To locate the sensor, each sensor of different zone is addressed by user and that address is fed to the master ad hoc sensor. This master ad hoc sensor will arrange the data from various sensors in an 8 bit data format. It then performs the required processing to determine the green signal time for each side. It has an exceptional system for high priority vehicles like ambulance, as it senses the direction of arrival of these vehicles and gives a green corridor. The main advantage over conventional system is that a side with heavy traffic doesn’t have to wait unreasonably while a side with no/less traffic gets an equal  amount of time as that of heavy traffic side which is irascible. This is an improved system based on preference for urgency/density of traffic. This can prove useful in especially Junctions of importance, thereby mediating traffic flow correctly.
α -CONNECTEDNESS BETWEEN SOFT SETS
Authors: Singh Rajput Alpa , S. Thakur S.
Published: July 2020

Purpose of the study: In the present paper the concept of soft α -connectedness between soft sets in soft topological spaces has been introduced and studied. The notion of connectedness captures the idea of hanging-togetherness of image elements in an object by given a firmness of connectedness to every feasible path between every possible pair of image elements. It is an important tool for the designing of algorithms for image segmentation. The purpose of this paper is to extend the concept of α –connectedness between sets in soft topology.

Main Findings: If a soft topological space (X, τ, E) is soft α -connected between a pair of its soft sets, then it is not necessarily that it is soft α -connected between each pair of its soft sets and so it is not necessarily soft α -connected.

Applications of this study: Image Processing.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Extend of α -connectedness between soft sets in soft topology.
Controle e valorização da liberdade de expressão no mundo do trabalho
Authors: Pachi Filho Fernando Felício , De Moura Valéria Feitosa
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo, apresentamos resultados de pesquisa realizada com trabalhadores de sete organizações, com objetivo de identificar como a liberdade de expressão é significada e vivenciada em ambientes de trabalho. Nesse sentido, utilizaramos como aportes teóricos o binômio comunicação e trabalho e os estudos ergológicos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários e mostram que as organizações conferem parâmetros para a liberdade de expressão. O direito à liberdade de expressão é reconhecido e valorizado, porém os limites se inserem em contextos nos quais os trabalhadores têm pouca margem para estabelecê-los. As preocupações com danos à empresa e a manutenção da boa convivência são as principais razões apontadas para a necessidade de limites. Possíveis riscos à segurança e danos à imagem tanto de trabalhadores como das organizações se difundem como consequências de uma expressão livre.
Existe espaço para as crianças na televisão! A presença da programação infantil na TV aberta mundial
Authors: Holzbach Ariane Diniz , De Nantes Joana D'Arc , Ferreirinho Gabriel
Published: July 2020

Este trabalho objetiva compreender o lugar que a programação infantil ocupa na TV aberta considerando o papel das grades de programação na estruturação dos conteúdos televisivos. Nosso argumento tem em vista que 1) as grades são fundamentais para compreensão das práticas de veiculação e consumo da TV contemporânea e 2) a partir da análise das grades é possível compreender diversos fenômenos relacionados à programação infantil. A proposta é investigar a presença desse conteúdo na televisão aberta considerando para isso um mapeamento realizado em grades de 16 países e 30 canais. A análise revela a ainda marcante presença dos produtos infantis na TV e enfatiza a importância de perceber as televisões em diálogo com contextos globais.
Análise de conteúdo do acontecimento jornalístico “Casais de O Boticário”
Authors: Cirino José Antônio Ferreira , Antunes Elton
Published: July 2020

Este artigo teve como foco realizar uma análise de conteúdo em torno do acontecimento jornalístico “Casais de O Boticário”, peça audiovisual divulgada em 2015, que trazia casais homoafetivos se presenteando no Dia dos Namorados. Buscamos perceber como a pauta LGBTQ foi trabalhada nos conteúdos noticiosos, examinando a cobertura dos principais portais brasileiros de notícias online à época (Estadão, Folha, G1, O Globo, Terra, R7, UOL), com a coleta direcionada à captura dos textos com menções à propaganda. Após empreender um mapeamento do conteúdo das 81 notícias identificadas, denota-se, então, que a construção do acontecimento jornalístico em torno da propaganda “Casais” foi permeado de campos problemáticos, sendo os que ficaram mais nítidos: o consumo, a cidadania, a religião e a política.

Sintesis evolutiva de la ginecología en lo últimos veinte años
Authors: Bernal Héctor Enrique
Published: July 2020

En nombre de la Sociedad Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología, presento a ustedes un efusivo saludo y una cordial bienvenida.Para la Sociedad que tengo el honor de presidir, constituye un motivo de suma complacencia el haber colaborado en la organización de éstas jornadas científicas, en donde vamos a hacer el balance de nuestra labor en más de veinte años de Medicina Nacional.La medicina, al igual que todas las ciencias, no ha podido sustraerse al vertiginoso avance científico de los últimos tiempos; para quienes nos iniciamos en el conocimiento de la patología genital femenina, hace precisamente veinte años, resulta satisfactorio, por decir lo menos, el camino recorrido: evidentemente hemos progresado; pero al mismo tiempo tenemos que aceptar la lealidad de que en muchos aspectos nos hemos quedado estacionarios.
EMDR Therapy Treatment of Grief and Mourning in Times of COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Authors: Solomon Roger M. , Hensley Barbara J.
Published: July 2020

Death of a loved one is universally distressing. The stressful conditions of COVID-19 can compound the trauma of a loss. Consequently, the mourner has to deal with: (a) the loss of a loved one; (b) potential complications of grief and mourning caused by COVID-19 (e.g., sudden and unexpected death, a loved one's suffering, inability to be physically present to offer comfort or say good-bye, social distancing interfering with funeral and religious ceremonies); and (c) personal disruption caused by COVID-19 (e.g., disruption of employment and daily living routines, fears related to safety and uncertainty). Further, grief can be complicated by prior unresolved losses and trauma, including attachment-based trauma, which would also need to be identified and treated. This article presents a framework for treatment of grief and mourning with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR treatment, guided by the Adaptive Information Processing model, can be informed by other frameworks, including attachment theory and the Dual Process Model, which are described. A case example is presented to illustrate treatment of a client whose father died due to COVID-19.
The Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool in Nursing Homes: Psychometric Evaluation of the Italian Version
Authors: Brugnolli Anna , Debiasi Martina , Zenere Alessandra , Zanolin Professor Maria Elisabetta , Baggia Marianna
Published: July 2020

Background

The Person-centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT) was developed as a self-reporting assessment scale for the healthcare staff ratings of the person-centeredness of their nursing practice.

Aim

This study investigates the psychometric proprieties of P-CAT tool in a sample of staff working in residential units for older people, in the North of Italy.

Methods

Internal consistency and reliability were examined using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate construct validity, homogeneity analysis performed to evaluate internal homogeneity of the items and equidistance of item options, test–retest reliability examined by the Pearson correlation coefficient and the intraclass correlation (ICC) coefficient. The P-CAT score was standardized to a 100-point scale, the score differences among groups were compared with one-way ANOVA.

Results

The exploratory factor analysis supported the construct validity of a two-factor solution. The mean standardized score of P-CAT was 67.3 (SD 12.8) and Cronbach's alpha was .79 for subscale 1 and .75 for subscale 2. The ICC coefficient was .87.

Conclusion

Reliability and homogeneity were satisfactory for the whole P-CAT tool (Cronbach's alpha ≥ .70). Test–retest reliability showed temporal stability of the scale (r Pearson .86, ICC .86). The Italian version of the P-CAT was found to be valid, reliable, and applicable for further research. Two subscales are recommended for the Italian version.
La producción de la vacuna para la prevención y erradicación de la viruela en Colombia. Apuntes de una vida: Jorge Lleras Parra
Authors: Villamil Jiménez Luis Carlos
Published: July 2020

La viruela afectó a la humanidad desde sus inicios. Se introdujo en el Nuevo Mundo durante la conquista, causó una elevada mortalidad entre los nativos y se instauró como una enfermedad epidémica en el territorio colombiano. Los intentos por contar de forma oportuna con una vacuna para prevenir los brotes no fueron exitosos. En 1897, Jorge Lleras Parra, médico veterinario discípulo del doctor francés Claude Véricel, se ocupó de su producción, mediante el empleo de terneras como biomodelo. Lleras Parra demostró que era posible preparar una vacuna de calidad superior en Colombia para cubrir la demanda sin la necesidad de recurrir a la importación del biológico. Por su labor científica y constante consagración como director del Parque de Vacunación, con resultados que honraron y beneficiaron grandemente al país, el gobierno del presidente Eduardo Santos (1938-1942) le otorgó la condecoración de la Cruz de Caballero de la Orden de Boyacá el 18 de julio de 1939. Lleras Parra trabajó en el laboratorio produciendo la vacuna contra la viruela por casi cincuenta años hasta su muerte en agosto de 1945.
