Prediction of diseases is one of the challenging tasks in healthcare domain. Conventionally the heart diseases were diagnosed by experienced medical professional and cardiologist with the help of medical and clinical tests. With conventional method even experienced medical professional struggled to predict the disease with sufficient accuracy. In addition, manually analysing and extracting useful knowledge from the archived disease data becomes time consuming as well as infeasible. The advent of machine learning techniques enables the prediction of various diseases in healthcare domain. Machine learning algorithms are trained to learn from the existing historical data and prediction models are being created to predict the unknown raw data. For the past two decades, machine learning techniques are extensively employed for disease prediction. Despite the capability of machine algorithm on learning from huge historical data which is stored in data mart and data warehouses using traditional database technologies such as Oracle OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP). The conventional database technologies suffer from the limitation that they cannot handle huge data or unstructured data or data that comes with speed. In this context, big data tools and technologies plays a major role in storing and facilitating the processing of huge data. In this paper, an approach is proposed for prediction of heart diseases using Support Vector Algorithm in Spark environment. Support Vector Machine algorithm is basically a binary classifier which classifies both linear and non-linear input data. It transforms the non-linear data into hyper plan with the help of different kernel functions. Spark is a distributed big data processing platform which has a unique feature of keeping and processing a huge data in memory. The proposed approach is tested with a benchmark dataset from UCI repository and results are discussed.

The paper describes the importance of reducing induced drag built up due to tip vortices which is caused by the lift produced by the aircraft wings. In this paper the effectiveness of boxwing is improved by reducing the induced drag on the boxwing. With this the practicality of boxwing rises to new level.The airfoil impact on the boxwing is studied and different airfoils are selected accordingly. Supercritical airfoils are analyzed and its importance is applied to boxwing as their practicality is observed. Here the effect of different supercritical airfoils when used for the front wing, aft wing and winglet according to their functionality are analyzed in the paper using sophisticated software. Then by selecting a specified commercial aircraft we can check the normal conventional wing computational results comparing the same aircraft with boxwing configuration on it. By this comparison we can determine by what percentage we would decrease the induced drag with the usage of boxwing configuration. The following work is done to ensure that the boxwing is applied into practical aircrafts such commercial aircrafts hence we have used a commercial aircraft as the base to determine boxwing effectiveness in a commercial perspective also. With the results of this paper one can decrease the induced drag to an extent where the uses of the boxwing in commercial aircrafts will exceed that of the conventional winged aircrafts. In future, its application to military aircraft can also be deduced as supercritical airfoils are also being used in fighter jets.

The corrosive resistant aluminium-magnesium alloy AA 5083-H116 and aluminium-silicon alloy AA 6082-T6 is widely used in ship building, marine and various structural applications. FSW is an emerging solid state joining process suitable for joining the aluminium alloys with minimized formation of weld defects like cracks, porosity etc. compared to other fusion welding processes. This research work presents FSW of EN AA 5083-H116 and EN AA 6082-T6 using skew tool pin profile with the consideration of influential process parameters like tool rotational speed of 710 and 900 rpm at constant traverse speed of 16 mm/min. Radiographic inspection has been performed for evaluating the weldments soundness. From the radiographic results it has been found that at higher rpm i.e at 900 rpm the occurrence of lack of fusion is more compared to the weldment fabricated at 710 rpm. Tensile properties and fractural observations were carried out on the weldments. It has been noted that good mechanical properties were observed with the weldment fabricated at 710 rpm with high tensile strength of 160 MPa. From the fractural observations it has been observed that all the specimens are prone to ductile fracture, besides shear lips were observed at specimens fabricated at 900 rpm.

Este trabalho propõe-se a analisar a gênese do romantismo no Brasil e o indianismo e suas articulações com a fundação da nação, da nacionalidade e da literatura a partir de O Guarani (1857). Nesse sentido, o argumento indianista no Brasil, que remonta ao momento da chegada dos portugueses, surge dentro do romantismo literário em suas primeiras manifestações como marca mais profunda e vinculada ao jogo sociopolítico da primeira metade do século XIX. Diante disso, ao tentar institucionalizar sua literatura, José de Alencar projeta em O Guarani aspectos concernentes a este contexto.
A liderança da mulher negra no romance Mandingas da mulata velha na cidade nova: a constução sociocultural brasileira
Authors: Lopes Viviane Carvalho , Sacramento Sandra
Published: May 2020

O romance Mandingas da mulata velha na cidade nova (2009), de Nei Lopes, é uma narrativa que traça, através do percurso histórico e cultural brasileiro, a vida de uma tia baiana, cujo nome ficcional é Tia Amina, mas que está, de certo modo, conectado à figura verídica de Tia Ciata, uma das mais famosas baianas e carnavalescas do Rio de Janeiro. Nesse contexto, procura-se evidenciar o protagonismo da mulher negra na construção sociocultural brasileira relacionado aos pressupostos teóricos da crítica feminista. Ademais, objetiva-se situar a obra como representação literária afro-brasileira que se encontra imbricada com o processo histórico do Brasil, empenhando-se em traçar o percurso de Tia Amina, desde seus questionamentos ancestrais em África até sua chegada à Bahia. Para entender esta proposta de análise embasa-se em Beauvoir (2008), Duarte (2008) e Zolin (2009), entre outros teóricos. Assim, a partir deste trabalho, almeja-se contribuir tanto para a elucidação das questões pertinentes a gênero e à crítica feminista quanto para o reconhecimento da literatura afro-brasileira, destacando a obra de Nei Lopes.

Ranking dynamics of economic burden of infectious diseases as a criterion of effectiveness of epidemiologic control
Authors: Mikheeva Marina A. , Mikheeva Irina V.
Published: May 2020

Purpose: rank-based assessment of the economic impact of infectious diseases in the Russian Federation for the further analysis of effectiveness of their prevention and for prioritization of preventive measures.Materials and Methods. The annual economic burden was eStimated by using inflation-adjusted standard economic costs of one case of infectious disease in the Russian Federation. The data on the number of cases were obtained from the official statistical reports (Forms 1, 2) for 2009-2019. The annual burden of the specific disease was estimated by multiplying the standard cost of 1 case by the number of cases registered within a given year. The economic costs were assessed and ranked.Results and discussion. In 2019, the greatest economic burden was exerted by acute respiratory infections, tuberculosis, acute gastrointestinal infections, chickenpox, HIV infection (newly diagnosed cases and deaths in 2019). The economic burden of rotavirus infection was assessed and ranked for the first time. The ranking analysis of the economic costs in 2009-2019 showed the largest decrease in the economic burden of influenza, rubella, acute and chronic hepatitis B. At the same time, the economic burden of measles, pertussis, hemorrhagic fevers and tick-borne borreliosis demonstrated an upward trend. The possibility of using ranking dynamics of economic burden as a performance indicator of epidemiological control has been demonstrated. In response to limited public funding of healthcare, the offered method can be used in setting priorities in decision making in the field of epidemic control.
Here, There, and (Almost) Everywhere: Civil Religion and Cultural Competency
Authors: Nyitray Vivian-Lee
Published: May 2020

Students coming to study in the US know full well that religion plays a significant role in American lives, but they are often surprised to discover not only the pervasiveness of religious sensibility in American culture but also the extent to which an acceptance--and even expectation--of fairly specific religious ideas or practices suffuses American national identity. This paper argues that education about civil religion should be part of cultural competency preparation for study abroad students, whether coming to the US or going abroad from it, and no matter their own religious orientation or lack thereof. In most cases, civil religion represents a fusion of national pride and identity with a historically dominant religion, e.g., Calvinism (why the Dutch don't draw their curtains at night), Confucianism (why vertical rather than horizontal social relations are paramount in Chinese society), or Shinto (why the Japanese emphasize notions of ritual cleanliness and purity). Manifested not by attendance or participation in traditional religious rituals but by generally unexamined everyday actions and situations, civil religious sensibilities and expectations can pervade even a seemingly secular society, rendering certain customs and "habits of the heart" opaque to the uninitiated.

A tecnologia vem adquirindo cada vez mais relevância no cenário educacional, pois vivemos em uma sociedade em constante transformação, na qual torna-se necessário buscar novos recursos para atingir as demandas dos alunos, alguns se prendem aos métodos tradicionais, porém grande parte cobra a inclusão de elementos tecnológicos com caráter didático. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar uma experiência da aplicação de um jogo para o ensino de Química Orgânica com docentes do ensino médio, no sentido de minimizar as dificuldades encontradas no processo de ensino. A validação do jogo ocorreu por meio de um questionário para 5 (cinco) docentes da área de química e possibilitou mensurar o grau de aceitação do jogo. Conclui-se que a união de jogos com os conteúdos de Química, como uma nova estratégia de ensino, poderá ser um caminho para um melhor desempenho escolar.

A formação humana integral como um dos fundamentos da educação deve nortear as práticas educativas. Assim, objetiva-se verificar os indícios da formação humana integral nos documentos orientadores da internacionalização da educação profissional e tecnológica no âmbito do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas (IFAM). Com o uso de uma interpretação sistemática, analisaram-se duas resoluções que tratam do programa de bolsas IFAM internacional e do regimento interno do Centro de Idiomas implantado no instituto. Procurou-se, em um primeiro momento, demonstrar o fenômeno da internacionalização das políticas educacionais bem como a sua efetivação na Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica (RFEPCT) e, depois, perquiriu-se debater a concepção de educação voltada para a omnilateralidade do sujeito.  Os documentos analisados evidenciaram um dos principais objetivos da educação profissional e tecnológica, qual seja, o de promover um ensino que contemple todas as dimensões do educando, tais como, a dimensão social, a intelectual, a laboral e a dimensão cultural.

Este artigo apresenta um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado desenvolvida junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB). A pesquisa foi realizada com alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) e o objetivo foi analisar a formação de conceitos geométricos na EJA, mediada pelo software GeoGebra. Especificamente, trazemos as nossas motivações e a busca por um referencial teórico que consolidasse a pesquisa e contribuísse para responder aos seus objetivos e à pergunta diretriz. Assim, na introdução, apresentamos como o tema emergiu, a partir de nossas motivações e trajetória acadêmica. Com o desenvolver da pesquisa, alinhamos discussões sobre o ensino de matemática e o uso de tecnologias, com os processos mentais que envolvem a aprendizagem. Nessa busca, nos deparamos com a Teoria de Assimilação por Etapas das Ações Mentais e dos Conceitos de P. Ya. Galperin (NÚÑEZ, 2009), cuja abordagem refere-se ao desenvolvimento da formação de um conceito e seu processo de aprendizagem, e, para isso, o autor desenvolve graus de qualidade e etapas da aprendizagem. Apresentamos uma discussão sobre essa teoria e como ela se articulou com a pesquisa.
