Existências lesbianas: por um aporte epistemológico lesbiano preto
Authors: Barreto Jaqueline Gil B.
Published: December 2019

No contexto do heteropatriarcado, a heteronormatividade está presente. As demais orientações sexuais são consideradas inferiores. Diante disso, pergunta-se: uma mulher negra lesbiana, por não se encaixar nessa heteronorma, pode ser impactada negativamente no que diz respeito à vivência e expressão da sua sexualidade? De que maneira o feminismo negro interseccional pode contribuir para o debate sobres as lesbianidades de mulheres negras? Nessa discussão, uma mulher lesbiana branca pode falar pelas mulheres lesbianas negras? Com base em uma revisão de literatura acerca das epistemologias que tratam do feminismo lesbiano negro interseccional e das lesbianidades de mulheres negras inseridas no contexto do heteropatriarcado, o objetivo do presente artigo teórico é apresentar uma reflexão acerca dessa questão. Nesse sentido, pretende-se contribuir para a construção de um aporte epistemológico lesbiano negro que venha a desestabilizar uma epistemologia ainda predominantemente branca e heteronormativa, em que há um silenciamento histórico sobre a sexualidade da mulher lesbiana negra.

A Quantitative Research on The Effectiveness of The Implementation of Supply Chain Management, Logistics & Marketing Function - The Greek Paradigm
Authors: Nwaubani Joel Chiadikobi , Tsianta Artemis , Zelka Magdalini
Published: December 2019

In today's era of high competition and globalisation, it is an indisputable fact that customers are more demanding not only in the quality of products but also on the services provided. Consequently, the pressure on companies to discover new ways to create and provide quality to their customers has increased much more. More specifically, customer service has become a key tool for diversification, as culture and customer demands are constantly increasing. Greece stands on a strategic crossroad for the development of transportation in the greater region of Europe, Asia and Africa. Its geographical position renders it highly attractive for investments in logistics and transport to take advantage of these increasing trade flows in an efficient and cost-effective manner. In this paper, we carried out a quantitative research in Greece using a questionnaire to analyse the importance and effectiveness of the application of logistics in businesses with regard to customer service, which serve as a critical source of sustainable competitive advantage. By applying this method, a business will have its customers satisfied, thereby giving them the motivation to remain loyal and faithful to their purchasing practices within the company.

Financial literacy is very important for someone in making decisions, especially those relating to daily activities such as in making decisions to save or invest to achieve a predetermined goal. Having good financial literacy will reduce the number of victims in the name of investment. In 2018 the Indonesian stock exchange stated that in 2018 the increase in the number of registered investors increased by 31.97% and an increase in the average number of active investors in trade compared to the end of 2017. From a total of 168 respondents, 61.76% had implemented financial management. Of the various types of financial management activities by investing in the capital market chosen by millennials, there are 54.41%. The author has a strong belief that demographic factors and many other factors vary to define investment management decisions. To conduct this research by collecting primary data by distributing questionnaires and secondary data from relevant journals, textbooks, and research publications. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics with the classic assumption test method using 5 types of tests. From the results of this study the authors aim to find out how many the factors above influence the decision to invest among millennial generations in Bandung.
Advances in Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement using Micro/Nano Structured Surfaces
Authors: Agarwal Shreya , Kumar Ranjan
Published: December 2019

In this article we present an inclusive review of research carried out in the field of phase change heat transfer enhancement. First, we discuss about different kinds of conventional heat transfer enhancement techniques performed in convection heat transfer related heat exchangers. Next, we present the advantages of implementing phase change heat transfer and report a brief introduction to the physics behind the phase change (boiling) heat transfer phenomenon. We present a well explained data about different kinds of enhancement techniques using micro and nano scale structures on heat transfer surface/device to increase the limit of boiling heat transfer. The entire review article is broadly divided into two categories: first the investigation related to fluid flow or transport mechanism over the micro/nano structured surface which is of crucial importance, second is the actual computational and experimental methods to achieve higher heat transfer capability in terms of critical heat flux (CHF) for a given surface/device. From the ongoing work, we are able to conclude and put forward three major stages of doing research in CHF enhancement using micro/nano structures/devices viz.: (i) selection and construction of micro/nano structures, (ii) perceiving the fluid transport through capillary over the micro/nano structured surface and (iii) actual experiment/computation to compare CHF of modified device with the base device.
Emission Rate Estimation of Fuel Oil in A Combustion System Using Empirical Method
Authors: Harry-Ngei N. , Ubong I. , Ojong E.
Published: December 2019

This work highlighted the prediction of the emission rates of the products of combustion using a fuel oil of specific gravity of 0.9. The two reaction pathways of complete combustion and incomplete combustion were used differently to ascertain the emission rates. Ultimate analysis were conducted on the fuel oil to show the percentage composition of elements using ASTM 3178 method for carbon and hydrogen, Kjedahl method for nitrogen, ASTM D1552 for sulphur and the differences used to compute that of oxygen. The estimated percentages of the various elements were the stoichiometrically used to compute the emissions rates at standard conditions. The basis of the computation was a fuel oil flow rate of 10Tonnes/h and the following emission rates were predicted for the complete combustion reaction pathway: 31,246Kg/h for CO2, 65Kg/h for H2O, 158Kg/h for NO2 and 20Kg/h for SO2 while 9,940Kg/h for CO2, 15,623Kg/h for CO, 11,700Kg/h for H2O, 11Kg/h for H2S and 158Kg/h for NO2 were predicted for the incomplete combustion pathway. The study noted that this predictive path should be taken where effective devices or logistics are not in place to measure emissions from combustion systems.
A Novel Method of Clone Detection by Neural Networks
Authors: Sharma Pallavi , Singh Chetanpal
Published: December 2019

Code clone is that type of engine that helps to find duplicate code patterns find within the whole code. Programmers usually adopt code reusability task from previous few years, so that time consumption can be reduces. Code reusability can be done via replication or by just copy-paste. Code reusability leads to not writing code from scratch, just copy paste the useful part of the code. In finding of duplicated code fragment or text, plagiarism detection also work pretty well but it is not applicable to the large system in finding functional clone and also it is more time consuming even at small scale which make the detection method inappropriate. In this paper, we proposed a pattern similarity conditions on the basis of textual similarity for finding the code or text clones in the large content on the basis of SVM, Neural Network using Java coding, Neural Network and Sim Cad. This approach detects code or text clones from original one. The resultant simulation is taken place in the MATLAB environment, and it has shown that it is providing better results. The proposed algorithm performance is measured using parameters i.e. FRR, FAR and Accuracy.

The rural–urban gap: differences in injury characteristics
Authors: Bang Felix , McFaull Steven , Cheesman James , Do Minh T.
Published: December 2019

Background

Injuries are among the top 10 leading causes of death in Canada. However, the types and rates of injuries vary between rural versus urban settings. Injury rates increase with rurality, particularly those related to motor vehicle collisions. Factors such as type of work, hazardous environments and longer driving distances contribute to the difference in rural and urban injury rates. Further examination of injuries comparing rural and urban settings with increased granularity in the nature of injuries and severity is needed.

Methods

The study population consisted of records from the electronic Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (eCHIRPP) from between 2011 and July 2017. Rural and urban status was determined based on postal codes as defined by Canada Post. Proportionate injury ratios (PIRs) were calculated to compare rural and urban injury rates by nature and severity of injury and sex, among other factors.

Results

Rural injuries were more likely to involve multiple injuries (PIR = 1.66 for 3 injuries) and crush injuries (PIR = 1.72). More modestly elevated PIRs for rural settings were found for animal bites (1.14), burns (1.22), eye injuries (1.32), fractures (1.20) and muscle or soft tissue injuries (1.11). Injuries in rural areas were more severe, with a higher likelihood of cases being admitted to hospital (1.97), and they were more likely to be due to a motor vehicle collision (2.12).

Conclusion

The nature of injuries in rural settings differ from those in urban settings. This suggests a need to evaluate current injury prevention efforts in rural settings with the aim to close the gap between rural and urban injury rates.
Écart entre milieu rural et milieu urbain : différences dans les caractéristiques des blessures
Authors: Bang Felix , McFaull Steven , Cheesman James , Do Minh T.
Published: December 2019

Contexte

Les blessures se classent parmi les dix principales causes de décès au Canada. Cependant, les types et les taux de blessures varient en fonction du type de milieu, rural ou urbain. Les taux de blessures augmentent avec la ruralité, particulièrement les blessures liées à des collisions de véhicules motorisés. Le type de travail, un environnement dangereux et de longues distances à parcourir sont des facteurs qui contribuent aux différences entre les taux de blessures en milieu rural et ceux en milieu urbain. Il faut approfondir les analyses des blessures en fonction du type de milieu (rural‑urbain), en particulier en ce qui concerne la nature et la gravité des blessures.

Méthodologie

La population à l’étude provient des données de 2011 à juillet 2017 de la base électronique du Système canadien hospitalier d’information et de recherche en prévention des traumatismes (eSCHIRPT). Le type de milieu (rural ou urbain) a été déterminé à partir du code postal de Postes Canada. On a calcué les rapports proportionnels des blessures (RPB) afin de comparer les taux de blessures en milieu rural et ceux en milieu urbain en fonction de la nature et de la gravité des blessures ainsi que du sexe et de plusieurs autres facteurs.

Résultats

En milieu rural, les cas de blessures étaient plus susceptibles d’être des blessures multiples (RPB = 1,66 pour 3 blessures) et des lésions par écrasement (RPB = 1,72). On a relevé des RPB un peu moins élevés en ce qui concerne les morsures d’animaux (1,14), les brûlures (1,22), les lésions oculaires (1,32), les fractures (1,20) et les blessures aux muscles ou aux tissus mous (1,11). Par comparaison avec celles survenues en milieu urbain, les blessures survenues en milieu rural étaient plus graves, davantage susceptibles d’entraîner une hospitalisation (1,97) et d’être attribuables à une collision impliquant un ou plusieurs véhicules motorisés (2,12).

Conclusion

La nature des blessures survenues en milieu rural diffère de la nature des blessures survenues en milieu urbain. Il faudrait réviser les programmes en vigueur en matière de prévention des blessures en milieu rural afin de combler l’écart dans les taux de blessures entre les deux milieux.

Quantum Interference in Real-Time Electron-Dynamics: Gaining Insights from Time-Dependent Configuration Interaction Simulations
Authors: Ramakrishnan Raghunathan
Published: December 2019

Femtosecond electron dynamics based on time-dependent configuration interaction (TDCI) is a numerically rigorous approach for quantitative modeling of electron-injection across molecular junctions. Our simulations of cyanobenzene thiolates---para- and meta-linked to an acceptor gold atom---corroborate aromatic resonance stabilization effects and show donor states \emph{conjugating} with the benzene $\pi$-network to exhibit superior electron-injection dynamics across the para-linked isomer compared to the meta counterpart. For a \emph{non-conjugating} initial state, we find electron-injection through the meta-channel to stem from non-resonant quantum mechanical tunneling. Furthermore, we demonstrate quantum interference to drive para- vs. meta- selectivity in the coherent evolution of superposed $\pi$(CN)- and $\sigma$(NC-C)-type wavepackets. Analyses reveal that in the para-linked molecule, $\sigma$, and $\pi$ MOs localized at the donor terminal are \emph{in-phase} leading to constructive interference of electron density distribution while phase-flip of one of the MOs in the meta-linked molecule results in destructive interference. The findings reported here suggest that \emph{a priori} detection of orbital phase-flip and quantum coherence conditions can aid in molecular device design strategies.
Forcing or Forced Exertions in Amalgamation of Nanoparticles and Particles inside the Solution
Authors: Ali Mubarak , Lin I-Nan
Published: December 2019

Study of forcing or forced exertions in amalgamating or amalgamated different featured nanoparticles and particles is important for the scientific societies. Observing live dynamics of nanoparticles and particles while their amalgamation inside the solution is a challenging task. It is difficult to discuss amalgamating nanoparticles and particles based on only their visualized dynamics. However, suitably captured microscopic images of agglomerations of nanoparticles and particles can identify different modes of forcing or forced exertions. Nanoparticles and particles, when just at rest positions, amalgamate under resultant difference of exerting forces not only related to poles of occupied quadrant but to poles of their drawn origins also. In this context, colloidal entities amalgamate from their directing sides experiencing a greater force. In amalgamation of nanoparticles and particles, exerting force is successively mute, alert and functioning. Here, energy behavior remains successively in functioning, alert and mute mode. Amalgamation depends on the features and conceived focusing lengths of colloidal entities, which is through the frames of references of exerting forces. In amalgamation of particles in geometrical shapes, electrons of elongated atoms along each side deal with even exertion of force. This is not the case for distorted particles. Colloidal nanoparticles and particles are the best candidates to track nature of exerting forces, so energy behavior also.

For further researchers, the study with a similar topic, the researcher suggests further researchers explore on more specific focus dealing with teaching technique or teaching media by conducting a research on more specific focus, it can be analyzed more deeply.
O silêncio e o rumor da outra língua nos poemas franceses de Rainer Maria Rilke
Authors: Kempinska Olga
Published: December 2019

Desde os inícios de sua produção poética Rainer Maria Rilke não apenas assinalava a importância da compreensão do silêncio em suas diversas dimensões enquanto a condição do fazer poético, como também insistia na abrangência artística da alteridade linguística. A linguagem cria o silêncio, perpassando-a em todas suas funções. O importante é que o silêncio criado pela linguagem passe a constituir o elemento da ordem do mundo, ou seja da experiência da obviedade. Visto que o domínio da linguagem não abrange o do conhecimento, o silêncio inerente à linguagem pode ser confundido com o silêncio não linguístico, que remeteria à ausência de ruído e não à falta do discurso. O caráter instável da esfera do silêncio linguístico indica, por sua vez, a possibilidade de se questionar os limites do poder ideológico manifesto em um contexto histórico.

Authors: Setiawan I Putu Hendra , Nurkholis Nurkholis , Hariadi Bambang
Published: December 2019

This research aims to investigate empirically the influence of pay satisfaction, role conflict and role ambiguity on auditor turnover intention, which are mediated by job satisfaction. A number of 168 auditors who work for Public Accounting Firms in East Java participated in this research. The data is analyzed using PLS (Partial Least Squares). The result shows that pay satisfaction positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Role conflict does not have any direct influence to job satisfaction but has a direct positive influence toward turnover intention. Role Ambiguity positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Besides, this research also reveals that job satisfaction has a partial mediation effect between pay satisfaction and auditors’ turnover intention and has a full mediation effect between role ambiguity and auditors’ turnover intention, but it has no mediation effect between role conflict and auditors’ turnover intention.

This research aims at providing an empirical evidence of the influence of auditor rotation on audit quality. This is an explanatory study using 90 auditors in Indonesia as its sample. The sample is taken using random sampling and the data are collected using questionnaire and interview with several auditors. The research results indicate that auditor rotation is not found to have direct influence on audit quality. The research also fails to provide empirical evidences of the role of auditor’s independence auditor as an intervening variable. Nevertheless, the research does proves that auditor’s independence has positive influence on audit quality.

One dominant determinant of teacher psychological well-being is the problem of student discipline. This study seeks to describe how the process of student disciplin (seen of student misbehavior) may affect teacher psychological well-being (seen of enthusiasm and emotional exhaustion) by including a mediator variable, namely teacher-student relation. This study was conducted on 159 economics teachers of senior high schools in Malang (Malang City and Malang Regency) using a total population sampling. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) for data analysis, followed by a sobel test the mediating role of variable in teacher-student relationship. The results showed that student misbehavior had a negative effect on work enthusiasm but a positive effect on students' emotional exhaustion. This study also found that teacher-student relation mediate the relationship between student misbehavior and teacher psychological well-being. The results of this study explain the process of student misbehavior in establishing teacher-student relations which ultimately influences teacher work enthusiasm and emotional well-being.

Authors: KALELİ Ali Rıza
Published: December 2019

In this study, the problem of regulation of air-fuel ratio (AFR) in gasoline engines under different engine operating conditions is discussed. Firstly, the mean value mathematical model of the AFR system has been created. Then, two different approaches named with classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and a fuzzy logic gain scheduling PID controller combined with gray system modelling approach (Gray GS-PID)have been used to improve the performance of the engine to monitor stoichiometric conditions. The parameters of classical PID parameters are determined by the pattern search algorithm. The design procedures for both controllers have been presented in detail. In order to evaluate the performance analysis for both of the proposed controllers, variable conditions were established based on engine speed and throttle opening ratios in the US06 and UDDS driving conditions and validated by simulation results. According to the results, Gray GS_PID is more powerful than optimally adjusted PID in terms of reducing the amount of deviation of AFR from stoichiometric value under variable engine operating conditions. The most important contribution of this study is that, unlike conventional AFR regulation, the prediction of future error value relative to the previous AFR error values ​​using the gray prediction algorithm, and the design of the control algorithm that determines the control action for the next step depending on the predicted error value before the error occurs and sets the gain parameters.

Nowadays, heat energy and the photovoltaic (PV) principle are widely used for generating electric power. PV panels can convert a limited portion of the solar radiation falling on them into electric power. Photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) systems are used in order to remove and evaluate the heat load caused by the solar radiation. In this study, an experimental setup was developed to compare PV and PV-T collectors. Through the experimental study, not only the collectors were compared but also the effect of the circulating water temperature on PV-T collector was investigated. The working fluid used in the PV-T collector was water. The results obtained from the experiments have shown that the electrical and thermal efficiency of PV-T collector is higher than that of the PV collector under the climatic conditions in Adana, Turkey, and that solar radiation has a significant impact on the performance of the collectors, and that the decrease in water temperature used in the PV-T collector has increased the electrical generation capacity, electrical energy efficiency as well as total efficiency.
Cypress Lane Estate: Human or Mechanical Harvesting?
Authors: Tedeschi Emilio
Published: December 2019

Anthony Decker (name disguised at his request), director of farming at Cypress Lane Estate in Lake County, CA, was excited to harvest a newly developed 210-acre vineyard of sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon. This vineyard was expected to deliver Napa Valley-quality fruit at a fraction of the Napa Valley price. However, Decker approached the harvest with some trepidation, as increasing labor shortages were exerting financial pressure on vineyard operations, while the business was already hampered by narrow margins. Decker wondered how he could save on labor costs. Could mechanical farming reduce costs without damaging the quality of the fruit?

This case explores the approximate scale at which financial benefits will be realized from long-term mechanical harvesting. Analysts can compare the costs of hand labor to machine labor, and assess the financial implications of either scenario, as well as identify the qualitative impacts. This case also discusses California’s ongoing wage legislation, agricultural overtime labor laws, and immigration issues.
Percepción sobre factores de riesgo para cáncer en afiliados a una Entidad Administradora de Planes de Beneficios de Salud -EAPB- Colombia 2018
Authors: Martínez Orlando , Barrera Alexander , Tolosa Natalia
Published: December 2019

Introducción: En Colombia, las aseguradoras y los prestadores de servicios de salud ofrecen información
y tamización para los tipos de cáncer más prevalentes. El diagnóstico tardío se podría explicar, en parte,
por la baja percepción de los factores de riesgo para cáncer, entre otras causas. Objetivo: Establecer la
percepción, conocimientos e importancia de un grupo de factores de riesgo para cáncer, en afiliados a
una EAPB. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal aplicando una encuesta telefónica a
410 afiliados. Se usó una escala de 1 a 10 para calificar los factores de riesgo evaluados. Se definieron
dos categorías de análisis (baja importancia: 0-6, alta importancia: 7-10). Se usaron métodos descriptivos,
bivariados y multivariados para el análisis estadístico. Resultados: El tabaco presenta la mayor frecuencia
de importancia alta (88.5%), la importancia más baja fue para la exposición a cables eléctricos (62.4%). El
puntaje del antecedente familiar de cáncer fue el que mayor modificación de la asociación presentó, respecto a las variables independientes. Las mujeres tienen mayor probabilidad de percibir con importancia
alta los factores evaluados, siendo estadísticamente significativo para la dieta (RP dieta= 1.32; p= 0.001).
La percepción del riesgo se modifica estadísticamente según los conocimientos previos sobre cáncer
y el temor que genera la enfermedad. Conclusiones: Existe una percepción elevada de los factores de
riesgo de cáncer, esta se modifica según atributos individuales, conocimientos previos sobre cáncer y el
temor que produce. Es fundamental comunicar el riesgo asertivamente entre los afiliados, fomentando
el autocuidado y el acceso a programas de prevención.
Extending openness in education support services for out-of-school children in underprivileged circumstances
Authors: Badar Faisal
Published: December 2019

Openness has underpinned much of the evolution of the Internet and digital technologies that support learning. Worldwide, openness in education has provided access to high-quality learning opportunities for school-age learners during the last two decades. During this same era, several global initiatives have made it their mission to educate all children of the world. However, despite major technological advancements in education and new innovative learning solutions, efforts to reduce large numbers of out-of-school children do not show promising outcomes in many parts of the world, let alone quality outcomes. This paper analyses the importance of context for educational outcomes and examines the need to understand socio-cultural and economic limiting factors of out-of-school children in underprivileged contexts in Pakistan. In such contexts, development demands sustainable and adaptable solutions. In identifying possible ‘solutions’, innovative strategies to educate out-of-school children is explored through combining traditional one-room schoolhouse methods with innovative digital technology and Open

Published: December 2019

Ethics has become a part of many Information Technology (IT) and business classes at colleges and universities. However, the way of teaching IT ethical behavior is sometimes non-effective. Yet, many current ethical issues related to emerging technologies such as big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are not considered at all. The paper aims to explore relationships between students’ demographics and inclination towards unethical behavior. The study presents results of a multinational survey conducted with convenience samples of college students at public universities in seven countries from Europe, Africa and North America between October 2017 and January 2018. The survey instrument contained items reporting on perceived importance of IT ethics issues, personal experience with them, and several demographics questions. Data analysis is done with descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and F-tests. We conclude that nationality, gender, degree year, computer skills and perception of the importance of IT ethics are significantly related with behavior. Perceptions and behavior of students evolve with the rapid pace of technology, which should be a major concern both for educators and business managers as they would recruit prospective employees from the current students.
