Published: April 2019

This study is a preliminary study of the politics of recognition of women with disabilities in th eaftermath of the 2006 earthquake in Bantul and Klaten, Yogyakarta and Central Java. In this preliminary study, it is found that there is transformation in the disability movement in both regions. The author would like to underline that the role of new women with disabilities affected by earthquake can encourage the transformation of the women with disabilities’ movement. These changes can be seen from all sides which before the earthquake, the discourse of women with disabilities are seen as a personal tragedy wher edisability issues are seen as an individual problem. The common approach used to deal with them is a charity activities, training services that are clinically aimed to make them as normal people and have independent lives. After the earthquake, there are a lot of DPO(Disabled People Organization) and association sfor persons with disabilities which accomodate not just those affected by the earthquake, but also all persons with disabilities who had been hidden by their families and socially marginalized. They appear to becoming out and giving a lesson to the people that the differences are common and normalization project is a choice that they have rights to refuse if it is not desired by them. In fact, they also have been able to counter the mainstream women’s movement discourse that their interests are also entitled to be accommodated in universal women’s discourse. This preliminary study which conducted by qualitative research methods withan ethnographic approach is still very early and still continuing with further research.Key words: women with disabilities, earthquake, politics of recognition, DPO (Disabled People Organization), individual and social model of disabilities
Trayektori Pendidikan, antara Praksis-Teoretis dan Dikotomi Low Science-High Science Telaah Sosio-Filosofis Nilai Guna Ilmu Pengetahuan di Era Kapitalisme-lanjut
Authors: Nugroho Wahyu Budi
Published: April 2019

Tulisan ini berupaya memaparkan problem trayektori pendidikan dan implikasi domino yang ditimbulkannya. Secara ringkas, “trayektori pendidikan” menunjuk pada ketidakjelasan arah atau ketidakterhubungan antara dunia pendidikan dengan realitas konkret kontemporer. Timbulnya trayektori pendidikan ditengarai oleh perceraian antara teori dengan praksis yang kemudian memunculkan klasifikasi ilmu ke dalam dikotomi low science dan high science. Persoalan menjadi kian pelik manakala dihadapkan pada tatanan kapitalisme-lanjut yang begitu mensakralkan ukuran-ukuran ekonomi sehingga beberapa ilmu pengetahuan (disiplin) dirasa tak lagi relevan keberadaannya. Hal inilah yang nantinya memunculkan problem “alienasi nilai guna ilmu pengetahuan”. Di sisi lain, posmodernitas yang memayungi tatanan kapitalisme-lanjut turut memicu kontestasi antara legitimasi dengan otodidaktisme yang berujung pada diskursus seputar kepakaran formal dan nonformal. Singkat kata, tulisan ini berupaya mewacanakan kembali kedudukan ilmu pengetahuan sebagai sarana emansipasi manusia, terutama berkenaan dengan aktualisasi diri individu maupun kolektif beserta segenap potensi yang dimilikinya.Kata kunci; trayektori pendidikan, alienasi, kapitalisme-lanjut.

Background and objectives

Hypernatremia is common in hospitalized, critically ill patients. Although there are no clear guidelines on sodium correction rate for hypernatremia, some studies suggest a reduction rate not to exceed 0.5 mmol/L per hour. However, the data supporting this recommendation and the optimal rate of hypernatremia correction in hospitalized adults are unclear.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We assessed the association of hypernatremia correction rates with neurologic outcomes and mortality in critically ill patients with hypernatremia at admission and those that developed hypernatremia during hospitalization. We used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III and identified patients with hypernatremia (serum sodium level >155 mmol/L) on admission (n=122) and hospital-acquired (n=327). We calculated different ranges of rapid correction rates (>0.5 mmol/L per hour overall and >8, >10, and >12 mmol/L per 24 hours) and utilized logistic regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to examine association with outcomes.

Results

We had complete data on 122 patients with severe hypernatremia on admission and 327 patients who developed hospital-acquired hypernatremia. The difference in in-hospital 30-day mortality proportion between rapid (>0.5 mmol/L per hour) and slower (≤0.5 mmol/L per hour) correction rates were not significant either in patients with hypernatremia at admission with rapid versus slow correction (25% versus 28%; P=0.80) or in patients with hospital-acquired hypernatremia with rapid versus slow correction (44% versus 40%; P=0.50). There was no difference in aOR of mortality for rapid versus slow correction in either admission (aOR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.5 to 3.7) or hospital-acquired hypernatremia (aOR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.8 to 2.3). Manual chart review of all suspected chronic hypernatremia patients, which included all 122 with hypernatremia at admission, 128 of the 327 hospital-acquired hypernatremia, and an additional 28 patients with ICD-9 codes for cerebral edema, seizures and/or alteration of consciousness, did not reveal a single case of cerebral edema attributable to rapid hyprnatremia correction.

Conclusions

We did not find any evidence that rapid correction of hypernatremia is associated with a higher risk for mortality, seizure, alteration of consciousness, and/or cerebral edema in critically ill adult patients with either admission or hospital-acquired hypernatremia.
Photohydroionization Reduces Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli and Salmonella on Fresh Beef with Minimal Effects on Meat Quality
Authors: Yang Xiang , Kalchayanand Norasak , Belk Keith E. , Wheeler Tommy L.
Published: April 2019

The photohydroionization (PHI) technology utilizes a combination of UV light and low-level oxidizers to produce antimicrobial action, and thus, is a potential intervention to control pathogen contamination on surface of fresh beef. The objectives of the study were 1) to evaluate the effect of PHI on reduction of selected Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC; O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145), antimicrobial resistant (AMR) and non-AMR Salmonella strains inoculated on beef flanks, and 2) to evaluate the effect of PHI treatment on the lean color and lipid oxidation of beef during refrigerated storage. Inoculated beef flanks were exposed to PHI treatment for 0 (control), 15, 30, or 60 s at 4°C. Exposure to PHI for 15 s reduced (P ≤ 0.05) pathogens on the surface of fresh beef ranging from 0.3 to 0.9 log CFU/cm2. Increasing the exposure time to 60 s did not improve (P > 0.05) reductions over 15 s for the majority of the selected pathogens, but yielded pathogen reductions ranging from 0.5 to 1.1 log CFU/cm2. Over all storage times when beef samples were exposed to PHI for 75 s, no difference (P > 0.05) was detected on lean a* value (24.67 versus 24.95), of treated and control fresh beef tissues, respectively. The highest TBARS values after storage for 14 d at 4°C was 0.33 mg MDA/kg of meat indicating that no oxidative rancidity occurred for treated beef samples. The PHI technology with 15 to 75 s exposure time was effective in controlling STEC and Salmonella contaminated on surface of fresh beef without causing adverse effects on fresh beef quality while reducing water and energy use. Further study of PHI treatment parameters under commercial plant conditions and ultimate validation of those parameters will be necessary for commercial implementation.
Elementos de tierras raras en agua subterránea y su relación con los sistemas flujo en rocas marinas y volcánicas del Centro de México.
Authors: Salinas-Reyes Tatiana , Ortega-Guerrero M. Adrián
Published: April 2019

Se utilizan Elementos de Tierras Raras (ETR) - serie de los lantánidos - disueltos en agua subterránea para determinar su interacción con medios granulares y fracturados en dos provincias geológicas en el centro de México: la Mesa Central (MC) y la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana (FVTM). Se obtuvieron 94 muestras de agua subterránea en el suroeste del Estado de Guanajuato, en las que se determinó la concentración de ETR. Se utilizó el programa geoquímico PHREEQC para simular la especiación acuosa y obtener los índices de saturación con respecto a fases minerales y mezclas de agua. Los resultados muestran que las anomalías de cerio (Ce) y europio (Eu) son características de los procesos de la interacción agua-roca: las anomalías negativas de Ce se asocian a las aguas subterráneas que circulan en un acuífero carbonatado-marino del Cretácico, y las anomalías negativas y positivas de Eu se asocian a acuíferos fracturados de la MC y FVTM, respectivamente. Los ETR se incorporan al agua subterránea por la disolución de minerales presentes en las rocas y su concentración es controlada por el pH, la coprecipitación y los procesos de sorción. La presencia de anomalías negativas de Ce, en los acuíferos fracturado y granular superyacientes al acuífero carbonatado, sugieren continuidad hidráulica entre ellos a través de fallas y micro-fracturas conectadas a profundidades mayores a 1000 m. Este comportamiento es consistente con el modelo Gravitacional de Sistemas de Flujo de Agua Subterránea (SFAS) Tóthiano-Freezeano, en donde los ETR actúan como trazadores naturales en la definición del flujo regional en este medio geológico complejo, confirmando la importancia de considerar los tiempos de residencia y la componente vertical de los SFAS en la gestión del agua subterránea.
Protolith age of the Altar and Carnero complexes and latest Cretaceous–Miocene deformation in the Caborca–Altar region of northwestern Sonora, Mexico

Published: April 2019

In the Caborca–Altar area of northwest Sonora, variably deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks crop out in a northwest-southeast–trending belt (El Batamote belt) at least 70 km long. We obtained detrital zircon U-Pb ages from two distinctive components of the belt near Altar, here termed the Altar complex and Carnero complex. Zircon ages for metasandstone and metaconglomerate matrix from the Altar complex indicate a Late Cretaceous maximum age of sedimentation, with at least part of the complex no older than 77.5 ± 2.5 (2σ). Pre-Cretaceous detrital zircons in the complex were derived largely from local sources, including Proterozoic basement, the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian miogeocline and the Jurassic arc. The detrital zircon ages and lithologic character of the Altar complex suggest correlation with the Escalante Formation, the uppermost unit of the Upper Cretaceous El Chanate Group. In contrast, one sample from the Carnero complex yielded a Middle Jurassic maximum depositional age and a detrital zircon age distribution like that of the Jurassic eolianites of the North American Cordillera. The Carnero complex may correlate with the Middle Jurassic Rancho San Martín Formation but could also be a metamorphosed equivalent of the Upper Jurassic Cucurpe Formation, Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bisbee Group, or El Chanate Group derived by recycling of Jurassic erg sandstones. The Late Cretaceous age for the Altar complex protolith contradicts models that relate deposition of the entire El Batamote protolith to a basin formed by oblique slip along the Late Jurassic Mojave-Sonora megashear. Instead, the belt is best explained as an assemblage of Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous formations deformed and locally metamorphosed beneath a northeast-directed Laramide thrust complex. Potassium-argon and 40Ar/39Ar ages confirm previous inferences that deformation of El Batamote belt occurred between the Late Cretaceous and late Eocene. A second phase of deformation, involving low-angle normal faults, occurred during and/or after intrusion of the ~22-21 Ma Rancho Herradura granodiorite.

Published: April 2019

Fragmentos de escleritomos de Chancelloria eros del Cámbrico medio de Sonora, México se registran por primera vez. Escleritomos de chancellóridos parcialmente articulados y escleritos aislados pertenecientes a Allonnia tintinopsis y Archiasterella sp. se encuentran ampliamente distribuidos en calcilutitas rojizas de la Formación El Gavilán, en la sección del Sahuaral, Sonora central. La fauna está compuesta por chancellóridos, braquiópodos linguliformes, espículas de esponjas reticulosas, trilobites y hyolítidos. La Formación El Gavilán es una secuencia de plataforma abierta de 65 m de espesor, compuesta de calcilutita intercalada con caliza margosa de estratificación delgada. La asociación de trilobites permitió asignar el depósito al Cámbrico medio, Subzona de Altiocculus, Zona de Ehmaniella (Serie 3, Piso 5). Los géneros de chancellóridos de la sección de El Sahuaral pueden ser comparados con la biota de San José de Gracia, Sonora central, México y también con depósitos cámbricos de la plataforma alrededor de Laurentia como son Burgess Shale en Canadá y formaciones de Utah en EUA. Las rocas del Cámbrico de Sonora fueron parte de la periferia suroeste del cratón de Laurentia, la cual se ubicaba cerca del paleo-ecuador durante el Cámbrico.
The Applied-Ethical Structural Synthesis of International Development
Authors: Astroulakis Nikos
Published: April 2019

The paper challenges the mainstream stance in the study of applied ethics
in international development. Applied ethics is positioned at the macro-social level
of global ethics while a specific codification is attempted by formulating international development based on its structural synthesis, in a threefold level: First, the structural synthesis –associated with the framework of existing international development policy–can be found in the ‘market relations’. Second, the analysis specifies the policies applied at the national level and the role of nation-state policy. Third, the paper criticizes the international development institutions’ policies. In each of the levels mentioned above, the analysis reveals the fundamental policy theory issues of neoclassical economics, as the intellectual defender of free market economics.
Hipótesis del ciclo de vida en México: un análisis del ingreso por género
Authors: Villeda Mary C. , Nava Bolaños Isalia
Published: April 2019

En este artículo se analiza el perfil de ingreso de los hogares en México. Para ello, se estimó un modelo semiparamétrico por sexo de la jefatura del hogar. Los resultados indican que el perfil de ingreso de hogares con jefatura femenina, por efecto de la edad, presenta una forma de U invertida plana, que contrasta con el planteamiento de la hipótesis del ciclo de vida. En contraparte, las pautas de ingreso de hogares con
jefatura masculina tienen la forma establecida en esta hipótesis, y este perfil no se ve afectado por la estructura familiar, como en el caso femenino. Se confirma entonces que el ingreso de los hogares dirigidos por mujeres es más bajo a lo largo del ciclo de vida.

Volume and quality of information circulating in modern society is constantly increasing. To process, record and transfer which it is needed to employ more capacious means that ask for less effort while decoding and perception. This leads to the situation when a semiotically expanded heterogeneous text becomes dominant in the modern information society. This article deals with the means of information coding in heterogeneous texts which mean of transmission is the screen. The classification of information codes based on synthesis of information and semiotic theories is suggested. The case study of a film text demonstrates the codes employed to generate audio-visual message, device of semiotic “stacking doll” is described, the employment of which leads to the appearance of semiotic situation od sumulacrativity, which aim is to make the spectator believe in what is happening on the screen. This article is aimed at specialist audience: students, post-graduates, professors, linguists and others who are interested in general and linguistic semiotics.

Estimating the accuracy of geodetic controlling bridge cranes’ tracks complex method
Authors: Shekhovtsov G.A.
Published: April 2019

The method of using the electronic total station for a complex method of geodetic controlling tracks of bridge cranes is explained. This technique provides for the direct determining the x, y, z coordinates of the crane rails axial points in the controlled section of the track from one point of the total station. The values of x and y can calculate the track width and control the straightness of the rails, and the values of z to find the excess between the rail points in the row and span. Estimating the accuracy of such control’s results by obtaining the covariance matrix of coordinate errors is shown. It is noted that this form of accuracy representation is not clear enough, depends on the orientation of the coordinate axes and is not informative. The article proposes a simple method of assessing the accuracy of survey points in the directions oriented relative to crane tracks. This technique is based on the geometric interpreting the error of the defined points’ position using the circles of mean square errors, which can be constructed in any plane of three-dimensional space. By the radius-vector of these circles the MSE point defined can be judged in any given direction. On the example of estimating the accuracy of the track crane’s track width the iconic modeling is made, which confirmed the simplicity, reliability, accessibility and meaningfulness of the proposed methodology.

Authors: Unami Koichi , Mohawesh Osama , Fujihara Masayuki
Published: April 2019

Water shortage and salinity are crucial factors affecting plant growth in arid and semi-arid regions, where irrigation water shortage and capillary rise from shallow saline water tables are often encountered. The objectives of this study are to construct a prototype of solar driven desalination plant in an arid area of Jordan Rift Valley, to develop a mathematical model predicting thermal dynamics in the prototype, to calibrate model parameters with measured physical parameters, and to discuss the performance of the prototype as well as its applicability to other areas under different environment. Results of measurement and numerical simulation show that the model is capable to reproduce the thermal dynamics of the desalination plant and to predict dew yield. Overall, the developed model provides a sound basis for describing and explaining the mass and energy balance mechanisms in the developed desalination plant. This study offers also a useful tool for analysis and assessment of the dew yield and thermal dynamics of such a desalination plant in general. Using the constructed prototype, performance analysis based on crop cultivation is ongoing.
Improving the performance of a heating system through energy management by using exergy parameters
Authors: Yucer Cem , Hepbasli Arif
Published: April 2019

Energy management systems are used to analyze the efficiency of energy systems and identify any problem areas to lower costs and save energy, typically using energy based performance measurements. Our aim was to use exergy parameters, instead, to see if more accurate information could be obtained about which ener?gy saving application would result in greater energy savings. Exergy analysis is based on the Second law of thermodynamics and focuses on the environment and the quality of the energy. Implementing an exergetic approach to analyze a steam heating system, we examined data related to exergy flows and exergy losses, and ultimately improved the performance of the system through this energy management model. The following seven energy saving applications were identified and ranked according to their improvement potentials: adjusting the air to fuel ratio ? 1, preventing steam leaks ? 2, installing an automatic blow down system ? 3, insulating the pipes ? 4, insulating valves and flanges ?5, insulating fuel tank ?6, and recovering heat loss from the waste condensate ?7. The optimum ranking obtained through the exergy analysis was 3-1-2-5-7-6-4. A reduction of 15.918 kW in exergy consumption was achieved by installing an automatic blowdown system. This meant a total reduction of 1779.03 kg per year in total fuel consumption, $1458.81 per year of cost reduction and the total cost reduction achieved was $1829.25 per year. Making improvements to the seven selected areas in the system, 38.4% of the energy loss was recovered while the recovery in the exergy consumption was 44.5%.

Authors: Perkowski Dariusz , Sebestianiuk Piotr , Augustyniak Jakub
Published: April 2019

The study examines problems of heat conduction in a half-space with a thermal conductivity coefficient that is dependent on temperature. A boundary plane is heated locally in a circle zone at a given temperature as a function of radius. A solution is obtained for any function that describes temperature in the heating zone. Two special cases are investigated in detail, namely Case 1 with given constant temperature in the circle zone and Case 2 with temperature given as a function of radius, r. The temperature of the boundary on the exterior of the heating zone is assumed as zero. The Hankel transform method is applied to obtain a solution for the formulated problem. The effect of thermal properties on temperature distributions in the considered body is investigated. The obtained results were compared with finite element method model.
La mediación moral incidental / Incidental Moral Mediation
Authors: López Luna Jesús , López Calva Martín
Published: April 2019

La mediación como base del desarrollo moral es una propuesta que en los últimos años ha tomado fuerza en el área de la investigación educativa y que dentro del ámbito de la educación formal, además de realizarse de manera intencional por parte de los educadores, podría llevarse a cabo de forma incidental mediante los diferentes estímulos que estos brindan a sus estudiantes, a través de los cuales manifiestan sus valores morales personales. Tomando como marco de referencia el modelo sociocultural-dialógico del desarrollo moral, e introduciendo en este el concepto de mediación incidental, el presente ensayo tiene por objeto determinar si en la bibliografía especializada existe evidencia que permita observar que en las instituciones de educación se efectúan procesos de mediación moral incidental, así como conocer las diferentes vías por las cuales se llevan a cabo.A partir del análisis de la información se identificaron tres diferentes formas de mediación moral incidental: 1) los materiales didácticos, 2) el ejemplo de los docentes y 3) el discurso de estos mismos actores educativos. Los materiales didácticos proporcionan a los estudiantes útiles herramientas culturales para la mediación de valores morales positivos, pero deben ser cuidadosamente revisados y seleccionados por los docentes y las autoridades escolares debido a que algunos de ellos podrían mediar valores morales que atentan contra los derechos humanos. En cuanto al ejemplo de los docentes, estos, a través de su comportamiento, proporcionan a sus estudiantes herramientas culturales tanto para la mediación de valores positivos (respeto, diálogo y justicia) como de valores negativos (discriminación, irrespeto e injusticia). Por último, el discurso docente se observa como una herramienta cultural efectiva para mediar valores como la discriminación y el irrespeto, principalmente hacia las mujeres. Debido a que desde la bibliografía pudo observarse el fenómeno de la mediación moral incidental, el cual abarca todos los niveles del sistema educativo, y a que este fenómeno tiene el potencial de influir positiva o negativamente en el desarrollo moral de los educandos, se concluye que es necesario estudiarlo empíricamente con la finalidad de profundizar en su conocimiento.
Effects of cigarette smoking on erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet count, total and differential leucocyte counts in adult male smokers

Published: April 2019

Smoking is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Smokers have higher risk for coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, hypertension, clotting disorders, inflammation, respiratory diseases, cancers, etc. A cigarette smoker is exposed to a number of harmful substances. In this study we hypothesized that smoking causes inflammatory reactions and induces hyperthrombic state in the body which may be reflected in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), total leucocyte count (TLC), differential leucocyte count (DLC) and platelet count values. The purpose of the study was to study the effects of cigarette smoking on erythrocyte sedimentation rate, total leucocyte count and platelet count in adult male smokers and to compare the results with non-smokers and to establish a relationship between the duration and quantity of smoking with the change in ESR, TLC, DLC and platelet count. A cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Pathology on 86 healthy male subjects (smokers=43 and non-smokers=43). ESR was estimated using Westergrens method. TLC, DLC and platelet counts were estimated using HORIBA Pentra ES60 autoanalyzer. TLC and basophil counts were significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers (p<0.05). The mean value of ESR was higher among smokers than non-smokers but it was statistically insignificant. Platelets counts showed no significant difference between smokers and non- smokers. No correlation was observed in various blood parameters and smoking (in pack years). We conclude that smoking initiates an inflammatory response as evidenced from raised TLC, monocyte and basophil counts.
PEDAGOGIA DO OPRIMIDO – UM LEGADO GENEROSO E ESPERANÇOSO
Authors: Maders Sandra , Barcelos Valdo
Published: April 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal fazer uma reflexão sobre a contribuição e a atualidade, para a educação brasileira, do clássico Pedagogia do Oprimido de Paulo Reglus Neves Freire (1921-1997). Com Pedagogia do Oprimido Freire fez um exercício intelectual fundamental: partiu da busca do entendimento da realidade vivida para construir a realidade sonhada. Sintetizou esse exercício ao dizer que a realidade não é assim, está assim. Em poucos momentos da história do Brasil vivemos uma época em que a necessidade de transformação, criação e invenção tenha sido tão urgente como atualmente. Mais uma vez a atualidade de Pedagogia do Oprimido soa como um clamor a todos(as) que não se conformaram com as injustiças e “malvadezas” de grande parte das elites brasileiras. Freire nunca se deixou abater e apostou na esperança como força revolucionária e libertadora. A esperança em Freire não é uma esperança van. É um compromisso com a história vivida pelas “gentes” do Brasil. Essa esperança se fundamenta na crença de que homens e mulheres são seres “inconclusos” e, como tal, em permanente transformação de si e das suas realidades. Para Freire, a história é uma construção inacabada. Esta é uma das diferenças fundamentais entre uma educação “bancária” e uma educação problematizadora e libertadora. Enquanto a primeira busca a acomodação, a repetição, a segunda busca a reflexão, a ação, a problematização das dificuldades, a superação das barreiras interpostas por uma dada realidade. A superação dessas barreiras é o primeiro passo para a superação dos limites e realização do “inétido-viável” que propõe Freire.

Published: April 2019

A utilização de ferramentas Web 2.0 é cada vez mais usual nos dias de hoje, sendo considerada uma tecnologia ao serviço de todos para a criação e partilha de informação e a colaboração, entre outros. A sua utilização, em particular a de redes sociais, ainda é muitas vezes vista como forma de divertimento e o seu impacto educativo ainda está em aberto. Neste trabalho, de natureza qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso, pretende-se mostrar que a utilização de uma rede social, integrada num Estágio Profissional de alunos do 12º ano de um Curso Tecnológico, potencia a interação e o questionamento. A rede social foi explorada para promover a entreajuda na resolução de problemas entre alunos, professora/orientadora e monitores e assim fazer um acompanhamento mais próximo dos alunos, em estágio e dispersos em várias empresas. O tipo de interação foi analisado tendo em consideração o objetivo traçado e usando a ferramenta Google Analytics. Sendo a formulação de perguntas considerada uma das componentes essenciais na resolução de problemas, fez-se a análise do tipo de perguntas efetuadas. A análise realizada sugere que, os alunos, em contextos de aprendizagem ativa, privilegiam a colaboração, interagindo através de formulação de opiniões e perguntas, emergentes dos problemas reais que surgiram no decurso do Estágio. Apesar de os resultados pouco generalizáveis, dado se ter trabalhado com  o estudo pode ser inspirador para outros autores que pretendam desenhar estratégias de ensino centradas no aluno e, portanto, um currículo mais consentâneo com as orientações da literatura. O estudo fornece ainda ferramentas utilizáveis em contextos semelhantes

Impact Of Indonesian Islamic Bank To Build Growth Premium Income Of Shari’a Insurance Company In Indonesia Market
Authors: Ronaldo Reza , Meilia Maya , Alaaraj Hasan
Published: April 2019

In 2017 the Indonesian Islamic Bank contributes premium income to Shari’a Insurance in Indonesia amounting to 1.8 billion rupiah. There are 5 (five) Islamic Banks in Indonesia that contribute premiums to national Shari’a Insurance. The big five Islamic Banks in Indonesia are; Bank Mandiri Shari’a (BMS), Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI), Bank Negara Indonesia Shari’a (BNIS), Bank Rakyat Indonesia Shari’a (BRIS) and Bank Mega Shari’a. With increasing income of the National Shari’a Bank, it is expected to have an increasingly income of Shari’a National. Indonesian Islamic Banks give significant contribution to the growth of Shari’a Insurance premiums in Indonesia. While other Shari’a financial instruments in Indonesia such as Shari’a BPR, Leasing Shari’a are not so large, so they have not provided significant premium contributions to National Shari’a Insurance. If other Islamic Financial Instruments can accelerate market share, then of course it will be able to provide additional premiums that are not small to Shari’a Insurance in Indonesia. This research is expected to be further developed in order to increase the income of Islamic banks in Indonesia while at the same time growing national Shari’a Insurance Premium Income. Keywords : Islamic Bank, Sharia Insurance and Takaful.
Un barco que se hunde. La crisis de la Convertibilidad y la acción política de la Sociedad Rural Argentina (1998-2001)
Authors: Pérez Trento Nicolás
Published: April 2019

En este trabajo analizamos la acción política de la Sociedad Rural Argentina durante los años de la crisis de la Convertibilidad, deteniéndonos específicamente en el devenir del vínculo entablado con los gobiernos neoliberales, así como en la relación entablada con otras organizaciones. Para la reconstrucción y análisis de dicha acción nos valdremos de fuentes documentales de dos tipos: por un lado, publicaciones de la propia asociación; por el otro, notas aparecidas en diarios de tirada nacional. Una de las principales conclusiones que emergen de este análisis refiere a las múltiples tensiones que atraviesan el accionar de la entidad tras el desencadenamiento de la crisis. En efecto, aunque su defensa del régimen de la Convertibilidad jamás menguó, su vínculo con los gobiernos neoliberales, la relación entablada con otras organizaciones, e incluso algunos aspectos de su ideología liberal entraron en tensión en este complejo escenario.
NLP Methods Of Motivation: Metaprograms and Reframing
Authors: Furduescu Bogdan - Alexandru
Published: April 2019

People are the most important asset category that an organization can use; none of them can exist without the human resources that make it up. However, paradoxically, they are also the only asset that can act against the goals of the organisation. From the same perspective, now, people can choose where to work or leave if they feel no pleasure anymore. Those who want to improve their living standards and reach a balance in their professional life will decide to leave their job if it is no longer satisfactory. a very important issue in the day-to-day activity of man is the motivation he/she feels for what he/she is doing. Motivation is a general term that describes the process of initiation, orientation and maintenance of physical and psychological activities, is a broad concept that includes a series of internal mechanisms, such as: the preference given to one activity over other activities, the enthusiasm and the force of a person’s reactions, the persistence of some organized action patterns (models) to achieve relevant objectives.

Complete descriptions of the particle-size distribution (PSD) curve should provide more information about various soil properties as opposed to only the textural composition (sand, silt and clay (SSC) fractions). We evaluated the performance of 19 models describing PSD data of soils using a range of efficiency criteria. While different criteria produced different rankings of the models, six of the 19 models consistently performed the best. Mean errors of the six models were found to depend on the particle diameter, with larger error percentages occurring in the smaller size range. Neither SSC nor the geometric mean diameter and its standard deviation correlated significantly with the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs
); however, the parameters of several PSD models showed significant correlation with Kfs
. Porosity, mean weight diameter of the aggregates, and bulk density also showed significant correlations with PSD model parameters. Results of this study are promising for developing more accurate pedotransfer functions.

In bare soils of semi-arid areas, surface crusting is a rather common phenomenon due to the impact of raindrops. Water infiltration measurements under ponding conditions are becoming largely applied techniques for an approximate characterization of crusted soils. In this study, the impact of crusting on soil hydraulic conductivity was assessed in a Mediterranean vineyard (western Sicily, Italy) under conventional tillage. The BEST (Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters) algorithm was applied to the infiltration data to obtain the hydraulic conductivity of crusted and uncrusted soils. Soil hydraulic conductivity was found to vary during the year and also spatially (i.e., rows vs. inter-rows) due to crusting, tillage and vegetation cover. A 55 mm rainfall event resulted in a decrease of the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Ks
, by a factor of 1.6 in the inter-row areas, due to the formation of a crusted layer at the surface. The same rainfall event did not determine a Ks
reduction in the row areas (i.e., Ks
decreased by a non-significant factor of 1.05) because the vegetation cover intercepted the raindrops and therefore prevented alteration of the soil surface. The developed ring insertion methodology on crusted soil, implying pre-moistening through the periphery of the sampled surface, together with the very small insertion depth of the ring (0.01 m), prevented visible fractures. Consequently, Beerkan tests carried out along and between the vine-rows and data analysis by the BEST algorithm allowed to assess crusting-dependent reductions in hydraulic conductivity with extemporaneous measurements alone. The reliability of the tested technique was also confirmed by the results of the numerical simulation of the infiltration process in a crusted soil. Testing the Beerkan infiltration run in other crusted soils and establishing comparisons with other experimental methodologies appear advisable to increase confidence on the reliability of the method that seems suitable for simple characterization of crusted soils.

Published: April 2019

The primary purpose of this work was to assess the persistence of water repellency in the surface horizon of coarse-textured soils under natural Quercus robur ecosystems, and Pinus pinaster and Eucalyptus globulus plantations, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Water repellency was determined by applying the water drop penetration test (WDPT) to soil samples collected from variable depths (0–40 cm). Measurements were made on field-moist samples obtained at the end of the dry period and on samples dried at 25ºC in the air. All soils exhibited very high (severe to extreme) water repellency in the topmost soil layer (0–5 cm) but no significant differences among the three plant species studied. Extreme persistence was observed down to 20 cm in the soils under eucalyptus and down to 10 cm in those under pine. The soils under oak were those exhibiting the highest variability in water repellency and the greatest decrease in it with increasing depth (especially in relation to soils under eucalyptus).

Water repellency exhibited significant positive correlation with the C content and C/N ratio of the soils. Soil water repellency was similar in the air-dried samples and field-moist samples.
Giardia and Cryptosporidium in Red Foxes (Vulpes Vulpes): Screening for Coproantigens in a Population of Central Italy and Mini-Review of the Literature
Authors: Papini Roberto Amerigo , Verin Ranieri
Published: April 2019

Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common protozoan parasites affecting several animal species and humans. The aim of this survey was to investigate, for the first time, their prevalence in red fox (Vulpes vulpes) faecal samples in central Italy. Seventy-one red foxes of different ages and sexes were examined for antigenic detection of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in fecal samples by means of a commercial rapid immunochromatographic test. The sample was randomly selected from foxes culled during a population control program. They were divided into groups based on sex and age (≤1-year-old and >1-year-old). Five (7%) and one (1.4%) out of 71 fecal samples were positive for the Giardia or Cryptosporidium antigens by immunochromatographic assay, respectively, and no coinfections were observed. The present prevalence rates of Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigens in faeces from V. vulpes suggest that this host species is likely to play only a limited role in the spread of the two protozoa in the study area. A concise review of the literature related to Giardia and Cryptosporidium in V. vulpes is presented.

Authors: Peretomode Victor F. , Ikoya Peter
Published: April 2019

The aim of the paper is to address the possibility of using mentorship as a strategic technique for achieving academic excellence, manpower development and in over-coming challenges of nation building. The authors conducted an extensive review of relevant literature from studies based on quantitative, qualitative, mixed method research and position papers on mentoring. This was followed with an analysis, synthesis and integration of ideas arising therefrom. Thereafter, they developed a logical link between the three variables. The paper concludes that while mentorship may not be the panacea to attaining these variables, it no doubt can play a vital role in achieving academic excellence, manpower development and nation building and therefore it is a strategy worth investing time, effort and money in adopting a combination of appropriate models.
From Presumption to DNA – Evolution of the Institution of the Parentage of a Child in the One-hundred-year History of Polish Law
Authors: Jurczyk-Romanowska Ewa , Kwiatkowski Piotr
Published: April 2019

After the end of World War I, in 1918, Poland regained its independence to once again find its place on the map of the world after 123 years. Thus, Polish jurists were faced with the task of creating an entirely new legal order, in the realm of the law of the state system as well as criminal, administrative, civil, and family law. The evolution of the questions pertaining to the parentage of a child was key in the realisation of the child’s right to know their identity, in granting children citizenship of the newly founded state of Poland, and in securing their social, civil, and political rights. The laws of the previous governments would clearly stigmatise children born illegitimi thori. The year 1946 brought the first mitigation of the division into marital and non-marital children, and in 1950 the division was abolished. The subsequent legislative changes were aimed to follow the advances in biological and medical sciences. In its directives the Supreme Court wold accept the successive methods of establishing parentage moving gradually from the prevalence of personal sources in court proceedings to that of DNA tests. Exegesis of legal text and analysis of judicial decisions and literature. After one hundred years of adapting legal regulations to social changes and scientific discovery Poland still faces the necessity to regulate the crucial issues of in vitro fertilisation and surrogacy. The one-hundred-years evolution of legislation and jurisdiction in Poland in the context of the development of new methods of establishing parentage is described in the present paper.
Private Saving Determinants in Portugal

Published: April 2019

The combination of projected increases in the expenditure of the public pension scheme and low rates of private saving constitutes a policy challenge in Portugal. Policy debate embrace pension reform and the redoubling of household saving efforts. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the determinants of household saving in order to inform the debate with research findings, employing a constructed public pension wealth variable in a life cycle consumption/saving model pioneered by Feldstein (1974). We use time series techniques and data from 1983 to 2012. The findings show that an increase in the public pension wealth variable does not boost saving suggesting that concerns with saving to cope with the length of the life expectancy at the retirement age are not enough to reject the view that the public pension benefit is a substitute for household wealth. The other results are consistent with expectations: increases in disposable income positively impact saving; there is a significant negative propensity to save out of household wealth increase; and improvement in the government balance engender significant saving decrease.

Internationalization in higher education is a key process as it affects the life, culture, curriculum, teaching, and research activities of universities and their members. Internationalization in higher education as an intertwined process is all-pervade and policy-based, integrated and permeated into the life, culture, curriculum and teaching, as well as research activities of universities and their members. The success of this process depends on the academic community in higher education institutions which consists of lecturers, employees and students, generally regarded as human resources. This research aims to examine the implementation of human resource management on the internationalization of a private university, the oldest private university in Indonesia. Descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The research subjects were key informants of Universitas Islam Indonesia. The data were obtained through direct observations on the internationalization process in the university’s human resource management. The findings indicate that the progress of internationalization was supported by human resources management. Additionally, leaders’ strong commitment in human resources management is essential to ensure the success of the internationalization.
