DO YOU FEEL A LOT OF STRESS AT THE BORDER TODAY?
Authors: Pursiainen Jari
Published: July 2018

In my border inspection staffs stress research I tried to establish how the border inspection staff experienced stress and how to cope with stress in different ways. My research was set out to identify coping mechanisms at their disposal and the ones the staff has found effective in reducing stress at the border inspection work. The data consisted of the results obtained in previous studies, and relevant theories, as well as on the results of the survey carried out on border inspection staff. Also, I used my own experiences for the benefit of my findings. The survey was carried out for three different border crossing points in Finland, the land border at Vaalimaa, sea border with the South Harbour and in air traffic at Helsinki- Vantaa airport. The results of this research consisted of comparisons questionnaire response to investigated background variables and how the respondents’ answered about the intensity of the stress and their opinion what survey claims. For these facts, and individuals experiencing about the stress, was based on indicators that could allow cross-tabulation application towards to my research objectives. My research queries can be reused and applied in a wide variety of workplace stress research. The potential effects of today's refugee flows for stress are well known. How is this pressure experienced at the border? Does it cause stress reaction and how is it dealt with? These questions have not been answered here or elsewhere. One research in the United States in 2012 investigated the effects of the border guards' emotional abilities on their lives. In Finland the Border Guard participates as the End User in EU’s BODEGA research project which through research aims to find more effectiveness for personnel’s human factors together with developed border control infrastructure. My research and these above-mentioned researches are aimed at developing preventive methods for border security staff to maintain stress and develop supervision of work. My research focused on experiencing and coping with stress in border inspection work and the results are applicable in the border inspection work even today.

Published: July 2018

The concept is a document that is taken every 10 years on average, and which provides the direction in which the authority will operate. The integrated border management concept of the Republic of Latvia in the strict sense refers to the Latvian State Border, but due to the fact that the state border security also participates in the implementation of other law enforcement institutions such as the National police, the Customs, the Food and veterinary service, this document explicitly bound by them. Near state border operating all of the above bodies, each in their field and direction, but generally it refers to the state security. There is a separate document that provides for the development of the State border guard in action, and is the integrated border management concept, which is also a development document, but refers to the State border guard and several institutions operating in the border area. This concept contains different types of measures, each of which is an important element of the Latvian State border security. This article is intended to acquaint the implementation concept and how it is executed at the beginning of 2016, i.e. the implementation of the concept of the middle way. Article tasks are to compare the previous concept with currently implemented; analyse the measures that shall be implemented, as well as the reasons for non-implementation and consider possible solutions. The article will be used in the description, comparison, analysis methods. In conclusion, the author wants to find the answer to a question or concept helps the body grow, or however it is a formal document.

ASYLUM SEEKER OR SEEKER OF A BETTER LIFE? WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WITHIN CATEGORIZATION?
Authors: Lindblom-Häkkinen Sari , Anttila Maisa
Published: July 2018

Migrants are often classified based on the reasons of emigration and way of travel. In this paper our aim is to focus on the stories and discourses of humanitarian migration from different perspectives offering first; the new category of classification of the migrants, second; the new way to face asylum seekers and third; to make a questionable necessity of classification over all: what kind of added value the classification gives and to whom in the end of the day? We are focusing on this phenomenon in the context of border security. We will identify how the consequences of natural forces (e.g. earthquake) impacts emigration. In this paper, we argue that the individual life situations, cultural discourses and societal factors all are important for understanding the phenomenon of migration. Thus, suggest of a new category of migration, is “seeking better life”. However, at the same time we recognize that often the categories overlap and depend on the perspective.
Estado garante del Derecho a la Salud de las personas privadas de la libertad
Authors: Jara Huérfano Leonel Darío
Published: July 2018

La responsabilidad del Estado es un tema que ha despertado el interés de la academia y la jurisprudencia. Las posiciones al respecto han generado diversas interpretaciones a partir de las cuales se formuló el siguiente eje problémico: ¿A partir de qué régimen de imputación debe abordarse la responsabilidad del Estado en los eventos de los daños ocasionados a las personas privadas de la libertad, por la prestación de los servicios de salud en los centros penitenciarios y carcelarios en Colombia? Para el caso se abordarán los diversos títulos jurídicos de imputación señalados por la jurisprudencia del Consejo de Estado y la Corte Constitucional, frente a las diferentes formas de daño, a partir de la revisión del régimen normativo nacional e internacional de protección del derecho a la salud en las cárceles, de los fundamentos dogmáticos inherentes, así como a partir de la identificación jurisprudencial del Consejo de Estado encargado de imputar y/o eximir al Estado administrativa y patrimonialmente en la prestación de servicios de salud a las personas privadas de la libertad, apoyado en una investigación de corte descriptivo con preminencia del método de análisis-síntesis.

Authors: Petrov N. I. , Lavrentyev Yu. L.
Published: July 2018

The article reviews domestic and foreign methods of estimating heat generation in angular contact ball bearings. Models for general-purpose bearings and for aviation angular contact ball bearings are considered. Models adopted at bearing manufacturers FAG (Germany) and SKF (Sweden) are considered for general-purpose bearings. Models developed at the KAI, CIAM named after P.I.Baranov and MTU (Germany) are considered for aviation bearings. The results of heat generation obtained in testing bearings 126206 (306216 mm) and 176126 (13020033 mm) are presented. The calculated heat generation values, obtained by various methods, are compared with the experimental data. On the basis of the research the models that yield the calculated values of heat generation in ball bearings closest to the experimental data are specified. They can be used to estimate heat generation in aviation roller bearings with oil jet lubrication.
Backstepping synthesis of the height control system of an unmanned aerial vehicle
Authors: Akhramovich S. A. , Barinov A. V. , Malyshev V. V. , Starkov A. V.
Published: July 2018

Synthesis of the height control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a soft wing, like a paraglider or a powered parachute, is considered in the article. An UAV is described, its scheme is shown, the forces and moments acting on it in the longitudinal plane are examined. A mathematical model of UAV motion is described in a body-axis coordinate system. Direct control is provided by the thrust motor. The thrust motor is mounted on the UAV so that the thrust is directed along the OX axis in the OXY plane. It is proposed to form the height control law on the basis of the thrust moment, which gives the advantage of stabilizing the angular velocity and the pitch angle. To synthesize the control and stabilization systems, the backstepping method is applied. According to this method, the task of developing a control law for the entire system is divided into a sequence of respective subtasks to lower-order subsystems. The algorithm of backstepping consists in making each integrator of the object stable by adding the feedback computed from this algorithm. The resulting control takes into account the nonlinearity of the object and depends on the entire state vector. The main advantages of the regulator obtained are: the system is stable within a broad range of input values; by varying the regulator coefficients, you can easily select the desired characteristics of control quality. The results of numerical simulation of UAV motion with the regulator obtained in the MATLAB environment are presented in the article.
The Northern Italian Diet Compared to the Mediterranean Diet: Prevalence Rates of Obesity and Diabetes
Authors: Testori Alessandro
Published: July 2018

I am writing in response to your recent articles on the conference proceedings of the World Congress on Nutrition and obesity prevention. I wish to call attention to the data on the prevalence of obesity in Italy, which are some of the lowest in the Western world, and which seem to be relatively stable [1]. The table 1 below shows that the northern part of Italy had significantly lower prevalence of overweight and obesity in 2007 than the southern part of Italy [2]. The Northern Italian diet differs significantly from the Mediterranean diet of the southern part of Italy, being richer in calories, animal fats and meat products than the typical Mediterranean diet. It also uses butter more often than olive oil as a condiment. For years the Mediterranean diet has been portrayed as one of the healthiest. The concept of the Mediterranean diet reflected “food patterns typical of Crete, much of the rest of Greece, and Southern Italy in the early 1960s” [3]. American biochemist Ancel Keys had first originated the concept of the Mediterranean diet after discovering a high proportion of centenarians in the Cilento area of Southern Italy [4]. However, according to the World Health Organization, Greece only ranked 24th among world countries in 2015 with respect to life expectancy with an average life expectancy for men of 78.3 years and for women of 83.6 years, behind Germany and the United Kingdom. Like many Western countries, Greece is also experiencing an obesity epidemic [5]. With particular regards to type 2 diabetes mellitus, Northern Italy has a very low prevalence of the condition (3.2%), lower than that of Southern Italy (6.3%) [6]. The Mediterranean diet has even been proclaimed an intangible cultural heritage by Unesco in 2013 (Inscription: 8.COM 8.10), supposedly for its great health benefits. The American College of Cardiology promotes the Mediterranean diet on its website claiming that it lowers the risk of diabetes. However, analysis of the available data does not support this conclusion. The table 2 below lists the diabetes type 2 prevalence rates of several countries and of Northern and Southern Italy: as it will be apparent some “Mediterranean” countries(including Greece) have higher prevalence rates than the United States. I therefore feel that we are giving the wrong advice to the public: to follow a “Mediterranean” diet.
Sustentabilidade ou responsabilidade organizacional? Uma análise conceitual sobre gestões hoteleiras
Authors: Santos Rodrigo Amado , Méxas Mirian Picinini , Meiriño Marcelo Jasmim
Published: July 2018

Gestões sustentáveis são influenciadas por fatores socioambientais, culturais e econômicos que repercutem, positiva ou negativamente, por meio dos impactos produzidos por suas relações com a sociedade e o meio ambiente. Justamente por isso, suas estratégias devem assumir preceitos interdisciplinares que supram as expectativas econômicas dos stakeholders e assumam responsabilidades coerentes no seu macroambiente. Assim, reconhece-se que tais gestões devem ser entendidas enquanto um emaranhado complexo e indissociável de responsabilidades socioculturais, políticas, econômicas e ambientais. Contudo, por meio de três estudos bibliométricos – pautados por pressupostos qualitativos – os autores apresentaram o comprometimento do segmento hoteleiro acerca dessa temática, notando-se: uma predileção por responsabilidades socioambientais; a opção pela não construção de uma gestão participativa. Contextualização essa que ratifica a ânsia por critérios que favoreçam a solidariedade intergeracional, permitindo atender à lógica econômica vigente e propor uma estrutura organizacional socialmente justa, economicamente rentável, culturalmente compatível e ambientalmente amigável.

The effects of global English on culture and identity in the UAE: a double-edged sword
Authors: Hopkyns Sarah
Published: July 2018

The United Arab Emirates’ complex history, its current demographics, its youthfulness as a country, and the fact that it is a region undergoing fast-paced change make the issue of cultura identity particularly relevant and urgent in this part of the world. This is especially true given the rapid spread of English in the sphere of education and everyday life in recent years. This paper discusses the above issues before analyzing the attitudes and perceptions of female Emirati undergraduate students and female Emirati primary school teachers with regard to global English and its effects on local culture and identity. After analysis of the findings from a qualitative study using open-response questionnaires with 35 undergraduates and twelve teachers, a discussion follows with recommendations on how to overcome issues raised in the study.
Inter-religious and inter-Christian Dialogue – a Contemporary Ecclesial Educational Priority
Authors: GHIBANU Ionut
Published: July 2018

The contemporary world is dominated by communication and dialogue despite conflicts and wars of all kinds. Dialogue is an actual existential need and a responsibility that the current generation has for the future. From this perspective, inter-Christian and inter-religious dialogue is a life necessity and a pledge of genuine faith in God, because, beyond everything that separates us, He is the Creator of all of us, the source of life, and we are all part of the same human family.If inter-Christian dialogue seeks to achieve the unity of the Church of Christ by concrete actions, theological dialogue and philanthropic gestures, inter-religious dialogue aims at establishing communication bridges in order to give common testimony as regards matters of wide interest, such as the ecological issue, defence of unborn life, peace, justice or social equity.   Modern inter-Christian or ecumenical movement arose about a century ago and although the road to full unity seems long, many steps have been made in this direction. The inter-religious movement especially focuses on the dialogue among the major monotheistic religions of the world and today it gives us many hopes.Our study aims to show that ecumenical and inter-religious education is a necessity of our times that may lead to defusing many conflicts and preventing future tensions based on religion. Here, we have in mind the education within the Romanian Orthodoxy received during the religion classes in school and also with the help of the media.

Published: July 2018

The aim of the article is to conduct a comparative systemic analysis of personnel preparation models in fashion education in the countries with successful design and sewing goods production. The comparative analysis of education models and trajectories of fashion education in the European Union, Ukraine, the USA, Canada, China and Japan has been presented in the article. It has been found out that the fashion-setting countries are stressing more on the creative and economical content constituents in education, while manufacturing countries are concentrating more on technical and technological content constituent of education. The future sewing specialist curricula include subjects of professional software support, business, along with a probation period (traineeship) at business enterprise. A well-developed international integration of future fashion specialists is directed at courses of academic mobility, ‘double diploma’, teaching international students, existence of foreign branches of modern fashion schools, and participation in international research projects.

Authors: Nieto Lourdes , Lara Ma. Asunción , Navarrete Laura , Duenas Karina , Rodríguez Katheryn
Published: July 2018

Resilience has been related to mental health during perinatal period.  However, to our knowledge, there are no instruments of resilience that have been validated in this population. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Resilience Inventory in a sample of Mexican pregnant women.  A sample of 280 women was evaluated using the Resilience Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire and a stressful life events questionnaire.  The reliability coefficient of Resilience Inventory was 0.88 for the complete scale. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a three-factor structure of resilience (personal competence, religiosity and positive attitude) for pregnant women. Concurrent validity was supported by negative correlations with prenatal depressive symptoms and stressful life events. The Resilience Inventory could be a potentially a valid and reliable measure. It is necessary to continue exploring the role of resilience in the perinatal period and identify the factors that shape it.

Volunteerism as an alternative early warning system in supporting election supervision
Authors: Paskarina Caroline
Published: July 2018

The quality of an election can be measured by the number of violations that can be solved to ensure the legitimisation of the election results. Violations in elections are still a problem since the amount tends to increase, which needs a long period of time to be solved. The enforcement of the regulations, such as the role of Bawaslu, is limited because it only serves as a ‘postman’ who forwards the violation cases to another law enforcement institution. The shifting of electoral supervision towards a more participatory approach has become an opportunity to develop an electoral supervision model that involves the community, especially in the prevention phase. This article describes the emergence of the idea of volunteerism in the context of the election, particularly in the election’s implementation monitoring and supporting the functions of Bawaslu. The article uses qualitative methods to analyse the various regulations in relation to monitoring and supervising the election, as well as various referral sources that contain voluntary practice information. The result of the study shows that an early detection system is an alternative method that can be developed, considering the voluntary spirit which is currently undergone an improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to build an early system in the prevention phase by conducting supervision on the implementation of the overall stages of the election and building public awareness to guard the integrity of the election results.
Economic development as a way to fight against poverty in a coastal society
Authors: Rukin Rukin
Published: July 2018

This research is based on the phenomenon of low construction in coastal village areas, primarily in relation to the economic development sector. This study was conducted in order to determine the low economic level of coastal rural communities and its abundant natural resources (SDA). The government has already issued a public policy related to economic empowerment and coastal zone management. However, the coastal village community’s economy remains very low. The qualitative and phenomenological approach was used to obtain the findings about why society in coastal villages is economically low level. The main cause of the economic problem was the lack of ability of the public to capture the business opportunities that existed. In addition, the constant hereditary lifestyle of the coastal people is one of the triggers of their low economic power. There is a lack of distinct empowerment by the government in order to improve their economy. SDA has not been optimally empowering coastal areas by way of the village communities of the coast and there is a lack of village infrastructure. The concrete participation of the local government is expected in relation to the handling of economic empowerment. One solution that can be undertaken is the revamping of public policy related to the development of coastal villages. The completion of the installation program for paving and street lighting is also a priority. The development and empowerment of the economy should be done immediately. Another thing that can be done by the government is the optimisation of the religious and beach tourism there.
