Published: January 2020

Introdução: A febre maculosa, doença transmitida por carrapatos associada a óbitos no sudeste brasileiro, possui mais de 10% dos casos confirmados nos últimos anos relacionados a crianças menores de nove anos de idade. Acredita-se ser oportuno informar a respeito do ciclo de vida do carrapato e a inadvertida participação do ser humano na transmissão da doença esperando uma mudança de atitude frente ao problema apresentado. Método: Estabelecer narrativa lúdica através das telas de smartphones, descrevendo a insólita viagem de um simpático carrapato em busca de completar seu ciclo de vida interagindo com possíveis hospedeiros mamíferos em distintos cenários ecológicos e, eventualmente, provocando a febre maculosa em seres humanos. Ao ocorrer infecção, um minigame será iniciado, relacionando a precocidade de diagnóstico com a oportunidade de um adequado tratamento, com objetivo de reduzir possíveis danos ao organismo infectado. Resultados: O game foi desenvolvido como um recurso comunicacional custeado pela Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, estando disponibilizado de forma gratuita na Play Store com o título de Pula Carrapato. Conclusão: o game pode ser utilizado como uma importante ferramenta comunicacional em saúde colaborando para um melhor entendimento quanto ao risco de se contrair a febre maculosa e as possíveis ações de prevenção a serem adotadas

Authors: Pontes Costa Diogo , Oliveira Nadja , Augusto de Oliveira Neto José , Grotta Grempel Rafael
Published: January 2020

Objetivo: desenvolver um protocolo para materialização de armação de óculos para crianças com Microcefalia, sendo desenvolvido por meio de um software CAD (Projeto Auxiliado por Computador) de criação virtual de código aberto (OnShape) e obtido por Impressão tridimensional pelo processamento de Filament Deposition Modeling – FDM, utilizando o filamento de Poliuretano Termoplástico (TPU) como material. Método: Trata-se de uma investigação aplicada e experimental. Resultado e discussão: Inicialmente, apresenta-se os principais temas para a fundamentação da proposta de projeto, as informações acerca das Tecnologias Assistivas e do desenvolvimento das tecnologias de manufatura aditiva aplicadas à saúde. Além disso, observa-se a descrição do procedimento adotado no projeto e a necessidade de uma revisão sistemática e do levantamento de dados antropométricos da cabeça das crianças. Ademais, houve a necessidade de desenvolvimento de uma coleta de dados com as medidas faciais antropométricas das crianças e submete-las à análise com intuído de extrair as médias e com isso criar um humanoide 3D que foi utilizado como suporte no desenvolvimento da proposta, visto que assim, foi possível desenvolver alguns testes de interação com o dispositivo, antes mesmo de ser impresso tridimensionalmente. Então, após essa criação, foi possível partir para o desenvolvimento do dispositivo e criação do protocolo, que contou com o uso dos softwares livres de modelagem virtual, com a utilização das impressoras 3D, bem como com o processo de pós-acabamento. Posteriormente, foi realizado um teste para validação do protocolo da criação da armação com alguns projetistas, com intenção de melhorá-lo e mitigar as possíveis falhas. Por fim, o arquivo CAD da armação de óculo foi disponibilizado, gratuitamente, em plataformas digitais, a fim de serem utilizados em laboratórios da rede Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Conclusão: O desenvolvimento deste protocolo como recurso acessível aos profissionais do SUS para a criação de um modelo de armação de óculos impresso em 3D, sob preceito open-source, permite que haja um melhor entendimento do processo de produtos impressos, além da simplificação na prototipação do produto em questão. Podemos observar, ao longo do trabalho, uma série de produtos inovadores que atendem às demandas da população, contudo, este projeto, permite-se ir além do modelo impresso em 3D, pois compreendemos que os procedimentos aqui adotados, bem como os arquivos elaborados, apoiam a perspectiva de que os sistemas CAD/CAM são acessíveis a qualquer indivíduo que se propusera estudá-los e desenvolve-los. Observou-se também o método adotado nesta pesquisa em consonância com os identificados na Revisão de Literatura e na Sistemática. Além disso, houve uma nova abordagem na pré-visualização da interação entre produto/usuário, possibilitando a diminuição de erros nas tomadas de decisões.

Alhures da loucura: um estudo arqueogenealógico sobre a produção da figura do doente mental
Authors: De Idairã Holanda Bezerra Adriano , De Queiroz Pinheiro Clara Virgínia
Published: January 2020

Este trabalho, seguindo uma perspectiva arqueogenealógica de Michel Foucault, tem o objetivo de investigar a figura do doente mental definidas pelas práticas e pelos discursos médico/psicológicos emergentes nos séculos XVII-XVIII, tal como a prática de internamento dos alienados; e no século XIX, com o advento da anatomopatologia, isto é, uma nova racionalidade médica pautada na objetivação da relação médico-paciente, como uma prática clínica. Esta pesquisa será realizada em três partes correspondentes às investigações de Foucault sobre suas obras, entre elas, História da Loucura, Nascimento da Clínica e O Poder Psiquiátrico. A partir dos estudos apresentados em História da Loucura, direcionamos as nossas análises para os séculos XVII e XVIII. A História da Loucura é um livro que faz uma arqueologia de uma percepção social do louco. Em Nascimento da Clínica, é apresentada uma arqueologia do olhar positivo. Por último, entraremos na genealogia Foucaultiana com O Poder Psiquiátrico para averiguarmos os desdobramentos históricos do século XIX sobre os dispositivos que efetuaram a produção da figura do doente mental.

Palavras-chave: Arqueogenealogia., despsiquiatrização., disciplina., figura do doente mental., medicina moderna.

International Legal Regulation of Countering Propaganda of War and Manifestations of Extremism
Authors: Koruts Uliana
Published: January 2020

The research paper analyses the international legal regulation of countering manifestations of extremism and propaganda of war. The understanding of extremist activity as an encroachment on the foundations of the constitutional order and the security of the state, as well as the violation of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the individual and the citizen resulting from the denial of legal and/or other generally accepted norms and rules of social behaviour have been formulated. It is established that the proposed definition is built on two basic criteria. The first is the circle of public relations, which is prone to extremist encroachment (such as: the foundations of the constitutional order, state security, rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of an individual and a citizen). The second is motivation of extremist manifestations, that is, denial of legal and/or other generally accepted norms and rules of social behaviour. The following constructive features of extremism are distinguished: a) attachment, that is, loyalty or devotion to someone or anything (attachment of extremism is expressed in devotion to a certain ideology); b) the extreme nature of views, positions and arrangements in human activity (they reflect the essence of extremism, since they are characterized by the ideology of intolerance of the existing state system and violent methods of struggle); c) extremist acts can be committed both by individuals and groups or organizations; d) the spheres that are prone to negative effect of this phenomenon (the spheres of public consciousness, social psychology, morality, ideology, relations between social groups, ethnic groups, public associations, political parties and denominations). The directions of international cooperation in the field of countering extremism in the form of propaganda of war and hatred based on generally recognized principles and norms of international law, which serve as the unification and harmonization of means and methods of countering extremism and terrorism, are disclosed. The conceptual features of extremism produced by the world community are formulated, which include: a) specific motivation characteristic of extremist crimes; b) global nature of the danger directed at all world powers; c) transnational organized nature of the activities of extremist organizations, such as unification and harmonization of the means and methods of countering extremism and terrorism.
Women in Education Management in Kosovo: A Hard Road Less Travelled
Authors: Ukimeraj Harris Linda , Trnavčevič Anita
Published: January 2020

This article presents limited yet significant findings of a pilot study of the experience of potential female leaders in education in Kosovo. It explores a small-scale qualitative study of the barriers to women’s accession in school management positions and the under-representation of women in management positions in primary schools in Kosovo. A qualitative, multiple case study approach is employed. Semi-structured interviews are employed to explore the experiences of four female teachers who have engaged in a leadership development scheme, and two government officials. In spite of being qualified for promotion to school management positions, none of the participants had applied for a school leadership role and opted to remain class teachers. Mirroring other contexts, the study found a mixture of factors acting on their decision not to progress into a management role. A lack of aspiration was influenced by their perception of the primacy of maternal and uxorial roles, political interference in school leadership appointments, gender stereotyping, and the constraining forces of social expectations in Kosovo. These constraints were only thinly balanced by the positive influence of familial support and female role models, encouraging women to engage in leadership roles.

Authors: Dimuna Kingsley Okechukwu , Olotuah Abiodun Olukayode
Published: January 2020

Poor housing and poor environmental quality have been associated with adverse effects on health of residents and their quality of life, emotional and psychological well-being. The quality of housing and building environment is therefore essential for residents’ residential satisfaction. This study analysises and examines the satisfaction levels of residents with housing and neighbourhood /building environment of six occupied housing estates in Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria. Data were collected in 2018 from six (6) housing estates located at; Oluku, Ugbowo, Oregbeni, Ikpoba Hill, Iyekogba-Ebo and Evbuoriaria. The data was obtained from sources within the study area using questionnaires, personal interviews and physical observations. The statistical tools used for analysis of data include: means, standard deviations, and categorical regression analysis. The results showed that there are variations in Relative Satisfaction Index (RSI) scores across the environmental dimensions examined for both the older and relatively newer estates. For the relatively newer estates such as Iyekogba, Oluku and Andrew Wilson result revealed that the residents are quite satisfied with Allocation for Recreation Centre (RCT) and Condition of Overcrowding (CO) with RSI scores ranging from 3.00-4.711; while those for the older estates such as Ikpoba Hill, BDPA and Oregbeni also appeared fairly satisfied 3.00-3.5. Regarding Condition of Overcrowding (CO), Refuse Disposal (RD), Level of Noise Pollution (LNP), Clean Kept Surrounding (CKS), Erosion Effect (EE), and Quality of Water (QW). Findings further revealed that RSI scores for the residents in Iyekogba, Andrew Wilson and Oluku are ranked higher indicating better satisfaction levels when compared to the RSI scores for the older estates. The results of Categorical Regression Analysis revealed that the estates environmental indicators impact positively and significantly at 5 percent (p= 0.003) on the satisfaction levels of residents. Hence efforts at improving environment of the state will directly influence residents’ satisfaction. Some measures that could enhance the quality of building environment and hence the satisfaction of residents were recommended. The study concludes that good planning and management of public housing estates are very vital because living in a decent housing and environment would lead to residents’ higher satisfaction level.

Authors: Oyovwi Edarho Oghenevwede
Published: January 2020

The study examined the effects of outdoor science activities on student’s academic achievement and retention in science in Delta South Senatorial District. The quasi-experimental design was used specifically, the non-equivalent pre-test, post-test control group design. Four research questions and hypotheses were raised and formulated to guide the study. The population consists of all senior secondary school two (SSII) science students in all the Government-owned public schools in the Senatorial District with an estimation of fifteen thousand, two hundred and seventy-five students (15,275). A sample of two hundred and fifty (250) SSII science student’s randomly selected from four (4) public mixed secondary schools in the Senatorial District was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was the Science Achievement Test (SAT) which was validated by experts in the field of Science, Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability of the instrument was established using Kuder-Richardson formula 21 which yielded coefficient of internal consistency of 0.82. Data were collected by administering the Science Achievement Test (SAT) as a pre-test. Post-test and post-post-test (follow up test). The data obtained were analysed using mean, standard deviation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was a significant difference in the mean achievement and retention scores between students taught using outdoor science activities and those taught without outdoor science activities. There was no significant difference in the mean achievement scores between male and female students taught science with outdoor science activities and there was a significant difference in the mean retention scores between male and female students taught science with outdoor science activities in favour of male students. Based on the findings, it was concluded that outdoor science activities may be an option in promoting students’ academic achievement and retention in science students. Based on this, it was recommended that science teachers should adopt outdoor science activities in teaching science at the secondary school levels and that Government should provide an essential outdoor learning environment in schools to facilitate outdoor science activities.

Authors: Bezliudna Vita V. , Shcherban Iryna Yu. , Svyrydiuk Olha V. , Bondar Galyna O.
Published: January 2020

The paper is aimed at analysing the current state of humanistic values formation of future foreign language teachers in the process of studying social and humanitarian disciplines. The research was carried out at Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University (Ukraine). The experiment involved 268 students, majoring in 014 Secondary education (Language and literature (English)). The following methods were used: analysis, comparison, classification and systematization of theoretical data, observation, methods of mathematical statistics and complex pedagogical diagnostics, generalisation, etc. The results have showed a low level of humanistic values formation of future foreign language teachers. It is explained by the fact that the disciplines, containing humanistic elements, are studied as separate academic disciplines without their tight correlation and applied format; humanistic potential implementation of social and humanitarian disciplines is not provided in syllabi of those disciplines and information on humanistic ideals is only illustrated. The results of the study reveal the essential difficulties in students’ humanistic values formation. The identified difficulties have led authors to the conclusion that there is a need for developing new approaches to improving the process of humanistic values formation in future foreign language teachers by means of social and humanitarian disciplines. The ways to overcome the difficulties have been suggested.

Authors: Al Shammari Iqbal , Testerman Janet , Halimi Florentina
Published: January 2020

Teachers’ learning communities (TLC) provide life-long learning experience for teachers to acquire and improve their teaching. One case of TLC in a government school in Kuwait is described and analyzed. Results gained from this research study indicated positive attitudes towards TLCs. However, lack of teachers’ willingness to apply what they learn, and the lack of the school leadership support, and teachers’ autonomy were some of the challenges facing the successful creation of TLC. School leaders should foster the application of TLCs in schools by ensuring teachers’ willingness to participate, encouraging teachers’ interaction, providing effective leadership support, and motivating teachers to apply what they learn in their classrooms.

Analfabetismo y su relación con el desarrollo social de los seres humanos
Authors: Esquivel Sarceño José Adrián
Published: January 2020

Actualmente no sólo se considera como â€˜analfabetas’ a personas que nunca aprendieron a leer y escribir (analfabeta absoluto), sino que se distinguen otros dos tipos de analfabetismo: el secundario, que se presenta cuando una persona ha aprendido a leer y a escribir más o menos con éxito, pero con el paso de los años ha olvidado esa capacidad y, el funcional, que se produce cuando la persona aun sabiendo leer y escribir frases sencillas, no domina la técnica de lectoescritura, y no la puede utilizar en su propio beneficio, ni de su comunidad. Esta situación está vigente a nivel mundial, ya que, según datos reportados por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) en 2010, habí­a 793 millones de analfabetas en el mundo; mientras que en Latinoamérica y el Caribe se contaba con más de 36 millones de individuos en esta condición y en Guatemala se reportaba el 18% de analfabetismo que equivalí­a a 1,549,408 personas sin saber leer ni escribir. Existe correlación entre la carencia de alfabetización y las oportunidades de empleo; varios estudios consideran al analfabetismo como factor que genera pobreza en la población principalmente del área suburbana y rural.
Changes in root morphology with yield level of sugar beet
Authors: Hoffmann Christa
Published: January 2020

The high yield level sugar beet has reached in the past years might have altered the morphology of the storage root. The study thus aimed at analyzing storage root diameter and length in relation to yield under various environmental conditions. For that purpose, data of various field and pot experiments were included covering a broad range of storage root diameters and yield levels of sugar beet. It turned out that there was a close relationship between storage root diameter and root yield, which was not affected by different environmental conditions (site, year). Furthermore, breeding progress had obviously not changed this relation, as it was not affected by varieties. Results from pot experiments could well be compared with field trial data. In field trials, storage root length did not exceed 25cm independent of yield level, whereas in pot experiments plants formed longer storage roots with higher yield levels. It is discussed that increasing penetration resistance in soil could limit the further expansion of the storage root diameter. A more aboveground growth of the storage root with increasing yield level, however, will make yield estimates based on root diameter more difficult.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS’ SPATIAL ABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF TWO DIFFERENT ECLIPSE TEACHING PEDAGOGIES
Authors: Kattner Shi Anne , Burrows Andrea C. , Slater Timothy F.
Published: January 2020

Este artigo examina se uma aula de sala de aula cinestésica de engajamento ativo ou uma lição de planetário verbal-participativa e visual-imersiva levou ao aumento do conhecimento sobre o eclipse para os alunos (com idade entre 10 e 15 anos) nos Estados Unidos. Utilizando um desenho de pesquisa de múltiplas medidas, um teste pré/pós eclipse e um teste de capacidade espacial de três partes foi aplicado aos alunos que participaram ou da lição de sala de aula cinestésica (n = 56) ou lição planetária imersiva visual (n = 82) sobre a natureza dos eclipses. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados imediatamente após os tratamentos, e novamente cinco meses após o tratamento. Os autores compararam a eficácia de cada tratamento instrucional com os níveis de habilidade espacial dos alunos. Um aumento estatisticamente significativo no conhecimento dos alunos foi observado em ambos os tratamentos, mas não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na pontuação entre os dois grupos de tratamento. Estes resultados implicam que os estudantes podem aumentar seus conhecimentos sobre eclipses independentemente do estilo de aula. Outros resultados deste estudo sugerem fortemente que a capacidade espacial transformacional está relacionada ao aprendizado sobre eclipses, independente da pedagogia da lição, já que aqueles com maior capacidade espacial apresentam maiores aproveitamentos.

The results. The concept of formation and development of the strategy of regional networks of enterprises for the production of agriculture biologization means, which consists of four blocks: target block – reducing the impact of chemicals on crop production and the environment; forecast-analytical block – determining the structure of crops, the volume of production; block of environmental factors – determining where it is possible to replace chemicals with biological ones; conceptual block – assessment of the possibility of creating a system of biofactories and laboratories and the solution of the problem. In order to implement the strategy for the production of crop biologization agents, the following scenario of development of entomological and microbiological industry is proposed: organizational direction, economic direction, technical and technological direction, normative and legal direction. The paper also proposes the stages of implementation of the scenario of the industry development for the production of plant breeding biologization means: partial modernization of existing production facilities; large-scale investment development of the direction.
Conclusions
1.The offered concept of strategy of development of entomological and microbiological industry for biological protection of plants is a necessary condition of development of organic agriculture, maintenance of manufacture of high-quality organic production and essential reduction of influence of chemical methods of struggle against wreckers on an ecological condition of environment. Such concept should be immediately introduced in Ukraine.
2.As a result of implementation of tasks on development of serial production of technological equipment for equipping of biological production, reconstruction, technical re-equipment and creation of new biological factories and biolaboratories the dynamics of increase in production of means of agriculture biologization is predicted.

Investigation of the regularity of sedimentation of liquid droplets during field crop spraying
Authors: Panasyuk V. , Pyatachenko V.
Published: January 2020

Purpose. Improving the quality of spraying field crops, reducing losses of chemicals of spraying and improving the environmental safety.
Methods. Analytical and experimental.
Results. Analytical dependences are obtained, which make it possible to determine the droplet velocity depending on their diameter and working pressure.
Conclusions. With increase in diameter of the droplet and the liquid pressure in the spray increases the time during which it reaches the speed of hovering and increases the path which will pass a drop until its speed reaches the hovering velocity. These data can be used to justify the rational parameters of the sprayer.
Keywords: dispersion of spray, meteorological factors, spraying, droplet settling, spray, rate hovering.
Analytical studies of the technological parameters of the curved channel of the pneumatic separator
Authors: Stepanenko S.
Published: January 2020

Purpose. Establishment of the laws governing the movement of particles in the air flow with an uneven distribution of flow velocity and the action of additional forces arising from this.
Methods. Theoretical studies are based on the basic principles of theoretical mechanics, in particular dynamics, as well as the theory of differential equations of the first and second order
Results. A mathematical description is obtained of the movement of particles of the grain mixture in the chamber of a gravity-air separator during the action of air flows of variable speed, as well as the trajectory of particles with different sizes. With certain assumptions, the obtained patterns of change in the velocity of a material particle (point) from coordinates.
Conclusions
1.Based on theoretical studies, taking into account deflecting forces, the possibility of separating particles of grain material into fractions by aerodynamic properties in vertical channels and with a lower discharge is determined.
2.The use of air flow as a separating carrier can significantly increase the value of the splitting of the trajectories and the criterion for the separation of grain into fractions.
3.Created simplified mathematical models of the movement of the components of the grain material in air separators with vertical channels, which allow us to determine the rational modes of operation of new technical means.
Keywords: air flow, variable air speed, trajectory, stability of forces, fractions, fractionation process, grain mixture, air separator, pneumatic circular flow.
Visitors' Spatial Movement Patterns and Market Segmentation in Washington, DC
Authors: Deng Jinyang , Andrada Rogelio
Published: January 2020

Visitors' movement patterns can provide important information on popular sites visited and the timing of visits. Such information can be used for transportation planning, appropriate use and management of tourism resources/facilities, and market segmentation. Traditional market segmentation
methods typically use one or more nonspatial variables, which cannot reflect the spatial consumption of a destination if the spatial movement patterns are not considered. While studies on visitors' spatial movements in an urban area have recently gained popularity, few, if any, have investigated
visitors' spatial movements in relation to urban forests (i. e., parks, gardens, and green spaces in an urban area). In view of this, this study segments visitor markets in Washington, DC based on dominant movement patterns of 1,090 visitors. General log-linear models are used to identify
dominant movement patterns and poLCA in R Studio is used for segmentation analysis. Ten significant movement patterns are identified, including seven two-ward patterns and three three-ward patterns, with the National Mall as the most visited area in the city. Findings of this study are useful
for the maintenance of urban forests, the design of visitor itineraries, and the effective marketing and management of attractions and facilities in the city.
Key Choice Factors and Preferences of Attendees at Academic Hospitality and Tourism Conferences

Published: January 2020

As international conferences continue to proliferate, up-to-date information on what influences potential delegates' decisions about which meetings to attend can be key to attracting larger numbers of registrations. Based on this premise, in this study the important choice factors that
influence individual attendance at international hospitality and tourism conferences are first assessed, followed by a determination of attendees' preferences for registration payment options (full payment vs. customized) and communication media types. This article also investigates how such
choice factors and preferences are influenced by attendees' individual characteristics, providing insight into the possible effects of attendee overall profiles. The discussion draws on an online questionnaire that was distributed to a convenience sample ( N = 277) of academics and
postgraduate students in the discipline of hospitality and tourism. The findings reveal four major choice factors: educational opportunities, career development, travelability, and destination stimuli. Several significant findings related to attendees' individual characteristics, as well as
differences between preferred communication media, were also found. The implications of the findings, particularly for organizers of international conferences in hospitality and tourism, are then discussed.

Published: January 2020

Badano populację mapującą rzepaku ozimego złożoną z 78 linii podwojonych haploidów uzyskanych z mieszańców pochodzących ze skrzyżowania linii różniących się siłą kiełkowania. Siła kiełkowania nasion była automatycznie rejestrowana co 30 min przy pomocy aparatu fotograficznego umieszczonego w minikomputerze Raspberry Pi. Zdjęcia przeanalizowano przy pomocy oprogramowania stworzonego w John Innes Centre. W kolejnym etapie wykorzystując metodę sekwencjonowania całego genomu (Illumina® HiSeq) wszystkich linii populacji mapującej zidentyfikowano polimorfizmy pojedynczego nukleotydu (SNPs) w tych liniach. Dane te posłużą do mapowania genetycznego i identyfikacji genów regulujących proces kiełkowania.
