Particle size grouping method as a control system of efficiency flotation process on the example of coal
Authors: Kalisz D. , Kuglin K. , Młynarczykowska A.
Published: December 2020

Agglomeration of coal particles during flotation can be analysed with the Particle Size Grouping (PSG) method. Numerous experiments were carried out to theoretically explain the effect of carbon particles agglomeration, but the result still remains incomplete. In this paper the PSG method was used to analyse agglomeration groups of carbon particles of initial size 100-400 ?m, maintaining the total particle volume. The size of particles population with definite radius and density was determined for 1 Mg coal. The influence of density and size of particles with given mixing energies and parameter ? on agglomeration was analysed. It was stated that the size of the particles had an effect on their agglomeration. In the analysed cases the dimensionless parameter of collision turbulence t* needed for particles agglomeration in particular size groups was importantly shorter for particles of initial size 300 and 400 ?m. The change of the mixing energy did not have influence on the agglomeration of coal particles. The theoretical analyses based on computer calculations were supplemented by the analyses of the coal flotation process on an aqueous model. Experiments lied in introducing a foaming agent in the form of aqueous solution of hexanol which, without changing pH of the pulp, lowered surface tension value, and consequently increased the dispersion of air in the suspension. The experimental results were presented in the form of flotation kinetics curves. Fine particles 100-200?m. turned out to be best for flotation, unlike coarse 400-500 ?m.

Published: December 2020

Objective

We
investigated the processes underlying glycemic deterioration in type 2 diabetes
(T2D).

Research Design and Methods

732
recently diagnosed T2D patients from the IMI-DIRECT study were extensively phenotyped
over three years, including measures of insulin sensitivity (OGIS), β-cell
glucose sensitivity (GS) and insulin clearance (CLIm) from mixed meal tests, liver
enzymes, lipid profiles, and baseline regional
fat from MRI. The associations between the longitudinal metabolic patterns
and HbA1c deterioration, adjusted for changes in
BMI and in diabetes medications, were assessed via stepwise multivariable
linear and logistic regression.

Results

Faster HbA1c
progression was independently associated with faster deterioration of OGIS and
GS, and increasing CLIm; visceral or liver fat, HDL-cholesterol and
triglycerides had further independent, though weaker, roles (R2=0.38). A subgroup of patients with a
markedly higher progression rate (fast progressors) was clearly distinguishable
considering these variables only (discrimination capacity from AUROC=0.94).
The proportion of fast progressors was reduced from 56% to 8-10% in subgroups in which only
one trait among OGIS, GS and CLIm was relatively stable (odds ratios 0.07 to 0.09).
T2D polygenic risk score and
baseline pancreatic fat, GLP-1, glucagon, diet, and physical activity did not show an independent role.

Conclusions

Deteriorating insulin
sensitivity and β-cell function, increasing insulin clearance, high visceral or
liver fat, and worsening of the lipid profile are the crucial factors mediating
glycemic deterioration of T2D patients in the initial phase of the disease. Stabilization of a single
trait among insulin sensitivity, β-cell function, and insulin clearance may be
relevant to prevent progression.
The Adaptation of Gray Wolf Optimizer to Data Clustering
Authors: TEKEREK Adem , DÖRTERLER Murat
Published: December 2020

Data Clustering stands for a group of methods classifying patterns into groups and retrieving similarities or dissimilarities of a collection of objects. Clustering is used for pattern recognition, machine learning, etc. One of the approaches to clustering is optimization. The aim of the optimization is finding the best solution in the search space of a problem as much as possible. Many optimization methods were modified to solve clustering problems in literature. Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is one of the nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms simulating the hunting of gray wolves. GWO has applied to solve several optimization issues in different fields. In this study, GWO was examined in the case of data clustering. GWO was modified to get better clustering results and applied to well-known benchmark data sets. The performance of GWO was compared to the other algorithms used as clustering. The results show that GWO can be used for data clustering successfully.

Objetivo: establecer por medio de un estudio radiográfico las características de los terceros molares inferiores impactados con respecto a la posición, la morfología, números de las raíces y la relación con el conducto mandibular. Diseño: se realizó un diseño analítico descriptivo transversal desde el 15 noviembre al 21 diciembre del 2014 en la clínica de odontología de la UCSG, donde se evaluaron historias clínicas y radiografías de 119 pacientes que acudieron para el procedimiento de extracción de terceros molares. Resultados: se estableció que la mayor frecuencia de extracciones que se realizan son las del sexo femenino en las edades de 21- 25 años, y además prefieren extraerse ambos terceros molares inferiores en una misma cita. Se demostró también que la posición según la clasificación de Winter, fue la meso-angulada en ambos lados y según Pell y Gregory fue AII, los cuales tenían en mayor frecuencia dos raíces (birradiculares) y la posición en relación al conducto es la tipo II con indicador radiológico tipo I. Conclusión: hacer énfasis en el diagnóstico radiográfico antes de realizar una intervención quirúrgica de extracción de terceros molares infeirores, para así estar preparados para complicaciones que puedan ocurrir en la clínica de Odontología-UCSG.
Diagnóstico de sostenimiento económico de adultos mayores en Zacatecas, México, como derecho humano fundamental
Authors: Alvarez Diez Rubén Carlos , Vega Esparza Reina Margarita , Villegas Santillán María Teresa
Published: December 2020

Las personas adultas mayores actualmente en México representan 12.3 % del total de la población. La tendencia de crecimiento en este grupo poblacional —según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática— indica que para el año 2050 el país tendrá entre 25 % y 29 % de adultos mayores, los cuales representarán alrededor de 33 millones de mexicanos. En este contexto, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo central conocer la situación económica actual de los adultos mayores en Zacatecas en comparación con el promedio nacional, para lo cual se ha tomado como base el nivel socioeconómico que establece la Asociación Mexicana de Agencias de Inteligencia de Mercado y Opinión. De esta manera, se podrán también conocer los programas públicos que se encargan de atender a las personas adultas mayores. El enfoque de esta indagación es de carácter cuantitativo y de tipo investigativo explicativo a través de un contexto observacional y prospectivo, de manera transversal. En total, participaron 2566 adultos mayores de 65 años de edad residentes en diferentes municipios del estado de Zacatecas.

Dentro de los principales hallazgos, se determinó que en el año 2018 36.7 % de las personas adultas mayores gozaban de una pensión o jubilación; el resto dependía de su propio trabajo o de algún soporte familiar y/o gubernamental. Asimismo, la mayor cantidad de apoyos que solicitan a instancias gubernamentales tienen que ver con el aspecto económico (1408 personas del total encuestado). Además, la mayoría (95.4 %) se ubica dentro de los indicadores E, D y D+ del nivel socioeconómico establecido por la Asociación Mexicana de Agencias de Inteligencia de Mercado y Opinión. Los sectores agrícola y comercial son las áreas de trabajo en donde mayormente se desempeñan las personas adultas mayores en Zacatecas. Igualmente, 1215 encuestados afirmaron que requerían apoyo emocional y se encontró que más de dos terceras partes de las personas adultas mayores no cuentan con ingresos por pensión y/o jubilación, situación que los obliga a depender de la ayuda que familiares y/o estancias gubernamentales les proporcionan. A pesar de su edad, han tenido que desarrollar trabajos pesados en algunos casos. Es necesario, por tanto, mirar hacia el futuro y diseñar políticas públicas para que este grupo social, que se encuentra  en crecimiento, pueda tener una estabilidad económica, física y emocional de acuerdo con las condiciones propias de su edad.
O ROMANTISMO NA GUERRA DO PARAGUAI: ENTRE O BELO E O SUBLIME NA OBRA DO PINTOR EDOARDO DE MARTINO
Authors: Deminicis de Albuquerque Fernanda , José Gomes Loureiro Marcello
Published: December 2020

Este artigo se debruça sobre a circulação de ideias e de padrões estéticos vinculados ao movimento romântico para investigar as antinomias civilização e barbárie na obra do pintor italiano Edoardo de Martino. O pressuposto condicionante do texto pode ser sintetizado na necessidade de enquadrar tais obras em uma perspectiva mais alargada, a fim de desvelar possibilidades de compreensão até então minoradas. Nessa senda, os elementos diretamente ligados ao movimento em lide, como o mar revolto, o luar, a paisagem onírica e a guerra, por exemplo, assumem outros sentidos. As principais fontes que viabilizam o trabalho são conceitos da filosofia kantiana, os escritos de Baudelaire, o diário do Conde d’Eu e, evidentemente, algumas imagens de De Martino, cotejadas com as de outros pintores de sua época. Uma das conclusões é a de que, para além de asseverar a credibilidade de um Estado-nação capaz de se mobilizar para a guerra e executá-la de modo civilizado, as imagens exaltavam o sacrifício de anônimos pela nação. Assim, convidavam seus espectadores a participar da nação e da civilização.

Published: December 2020

Este estudo propõe uma interpretação da organização espacial de trabalhadores rurais no Ceará em associações e sindicatos de 1950 a 1963. Para isso, foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa com pesquisa documental, referencial teórico e cartografia temática como metodologia para analisar o processo de espacialização dessas organizações no período estudado. No caso cearense, entre as questões discutidas, está o papel que a Igreja Católica, o Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB) e as Ligas Camponesas exerceram na orientação das primeiras associações rurais nos anos de 1950 e na fundação dos primeiros Sindicatos de Trabalhadores Rurais (STRs) nos anos de 1962 e 1963.
COMPLEXOS TURÍSTICO-IMOBILIÁRIOS E PLANEJAMENTO NO LITORAL METROPOLITA NO DE FORTALEZA
Authors: Bento Cunha Gabriela , Queiroz Pereira Alexandre
Published: December 2020

A partir da década de 1970, as metrópoles nordestinas passaram por intensas transformações, principalmente, em seus espaços litorâneos. As principais variáveis para essas mudanças vinculam-se ao planejamento, à iniciativa privada e às novas formas de consumo das zonas costeiras. Entende-se que as zonas de praia ganharam representatividade e valorização em todas as regiões do planeta. Essas áreas buscam a captação de turistas e de vilegiaturistas, além da dinamização de seus usos e de suas funções. Assim como na escala global, a região Nordeste tem se inserido em uma nova lógica de produção e de consumo do espaço urbano, principalmente, em equipamentos de forte poder atrativo. O presente artigo busca compreender, de forma inicial, os desdobramentos dessas transformações nos usos e nas funções do espaço litorâneo metropolitano de Fortaleza, no Ceará, e como as novas formas de lazer – notadamente os complexos turístico-imobiliários – corroboram a produção desses espaços. Para essa análise, utilizaram-se dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) com o objetivo de compreender a ocupação das localidades litorâneas e como o poder público corrobora a questão. Ademais, realizou-se produção cartográfica para visualizar a expansão da mancha urbana litorânea nos anos de 2000, 2008 e 2016 nas localidades metropolitanas com maior dinâmica na atualidade e, por meio de um levantamento de dados em um dos maiores sites de venda e de aluguel de imóveis, buscou-se comparar a valorização entre apartamentos e casas no ano de 2020. Como produto, podemos entender como a iniciativa privada (por meio dos promotores imobiliários) e o poder público corroboram a valoração das zonas de praias metropolitanas.

METAMETHODICS AS THE BASIS FOR CONSTRUCTING LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Authors: Поздеева Светлана Ивановна , Чубыкина Ольга Анатольевна
Published: December 2020

Ставится проблема усиления качества методической и предметной подготовки будущих педагогов. Предметные и методические дефициты выпускников педагогических университетов актуализируют внимание к вопросам метаметодики, которая трактуется авторами как связующее звено между законами классической дидактики и принципами методик преподавания отдельных учебных предметов. Показано, что еще классики дидактики говорили о необходимости выделения специальной области в педагогике, которая будет обобщать эмпирический методический опыт и тем самым выделять наиболее эффективные формы и методы обучения. Предполагается, что методика может связать парадигмы преподавания и учения, акцентировать внимание на управленческом аспекте педагогической деятельности, выработать эффективные сценарии обучения. Размышления о метаметодике позволяют авторам выйти на то, чтобы выделить особую профессиональную компетентность современного педагога: метаметодическую как совокупность предметного, методического и деятельностного аспектов. Благодаря этому методика может стать новым теоретическим основанием для построения образовательной деятельности на разных уровнях и в разных видах образования.

The problem of improving the quality of methodological and subject training of future teachers is raised. Subject and methodological deficits of graduates of pedagogical universities actualize attention to the issues of metamethodics, which is interpreted by the authors as a link between the laws of classical didactics and the principles of teaching methods for individual academic subjects. It is shown that even the classics of didactics spoke about the need to allocate a special area in pedagogy, which will generalize empirical methodological experience and thereby identify the most effective forms and methods of teaching. It is assumed that the methodology can link the teaching and learning paradigms, focus on the managerial aspect of pedagogical activity, and develop effective learning scenarios. Reflections on metamethodics allow the authors to identify a special professional competence of a modern teacher: metamethodics as a set of subject, methodological and activity aspects. Due to this, the methodology can become a new theoretical basis for building educational activities at different levels and in different types of education. In the future, it will be important to study metametodics as an interdisciplinary phenomenon and identify its educational resources for building educational activities taking into account current global trends in the development of education.
Social Entrepreneurs' Use of Fab Labs and 3D Printing in South Africa and Kenya
Authors: Schonwetter Tobias , Van Wiele Bram
Published: December 2020

This article outlines findings from a study in South Africa and Kenya that explored social entrepreneurs' use of fabrication laboratories (fab labs), and in particular fab lab 3D printing services, in order to advance their social innovations and enterprises. Based on interviews with representatives of fab lab initiatives and social enterprises, the study found strong linkages between social entrepreneurship and fab labs, and between social entrepreneurs and the use of 3D printing technology. However, it was also found that social entrepreneurs tend not to rely primarily on fab labs for access to 3D printers, preferring to buy and build their own printer units-a practice made cost-effective through the selection of low-cost, open source models. In respect of the computer-aided design (CAD) software used to design the files for 3D printing, it was found that social entrepreneurs prefer the stability and user-friendliness of proprietary CAD software, despite the cost implications. At the same time, it was found that social entrepreneurs frequently use free and open source CAD files available online, and that they seek, in turn, to share their designs on a free and open source basis.
Elective cesarean section on maternal request: ethical and legal considerations
Authors: Casella Claudia , Capasso Emanuele , Bianco Cristina , Saccone Gabriele , Guida Maurizio , Graziano Vincenzo , Paternoster Mariano
Published: December 2020

Cesarean is defined as the delivery of a fetus through surgical incisions made through the uterine wall. Primary cesarean sections often lead to repeat cesareans, which may lead to placenta accreta spectrum disorders. The ethic of exposing mothers to these risks, as well as performing surgery on what is otherwise a healthy patient, become entangled with the demand for patient choice, as well as the increasing financial strain on our healthcare system. The main question to be examined is whether it is ethical to allow women to opt for cesarean delivery in the absence of obstetric indication (i.e. cesarean delivery on maternal request), taking into account the increased risk to the mother and her future offspring.
A case of Roberts syndrome: its ultrasonographic characteristics and genetic diagnosis
Authors: Ayaz Reyhan , Göktaş Emine , Balasar Mine
Published: December 2020

Objective: Roberts syndrome is a very rare genetic disease, and it has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. It develops as a result of the mutation in ESCO2 gene located in the 8th chromosome. In our study, we aimed to present a case which was found to have Roberts syndrome coexisting with multiple anomalies, particularly skeletal system anomaly, in the 17 weeks of gestation. Case(s): In the fetal ultrasonographic evaluation performed on the pregnant women who referred to our hospital for routine gestational examination in the 17 weeks of gestation, anomalies in the bilateral upper and lower extremities, contracted legs, bilateral cleft palate and lip, intrauterine growth restriction and cardiac anomaly were found in the fetus. Roberts syndrome was considered first with these ultrasonographic findings. The diagnosis of Roberts syndrome was confirmed by cytogenetic and molecular analyses. Early segregation of centromeres and early breaking up of heterochromatic regions near centromeres were found at metaphase stage. By cytogenetic and molecular analyses, homozygous mutation in ESCO2 gene of the fetus and heterozygous mutation in the parents were found. The termination of pregnancy was decided after the genetic consultation with the parents. Physical examination findings and prenatal ultrasound findings after termination were found similar. Conclusion: Many severe skeletal dysplasia cases can be diagnosed ultrasonographically before 20 weeks of gestation. Early diagnosis ensures to take necessary actions for medical support during postnatal period and in terms of labor if pregnancy continues as well as genetic consultation opportunity. If the genetic disease that causes skeletal dysplasia can be identified and parents are found to have this gene, healthy pregnancies can be achieved by obtaining normal embryos via pre-implantation genetic diagnosis in order to prevent the relapse of the disease.

Hygienic Habits and Living Conditions of Romani Population in the Sisak-Moslavina County
Authors: Galić Lukšić Snježana , Lapat Goran , Lučan Jelena
Published: December 2020

Aim. To
establish the degree of consciousness of the importance of hygiene among the
Romani population in the Sisak-Moslavina County and to examine whether there
are differences in children’s health care of non-Romani population considering
the number of hospitalized Romani children in general and especially regarding
respiratory diseases.
Methods. The
study was conducted on 100 parents of hospitalized children, 50 of them being
members of the Romani population and 50 being members of non-Romani population.
It was done by means of a questionnaire specially designed for this study. The categorical
data is represented by the absolute and relative frequencies, while the
numerical data is described with the median and the limits of the interquartile
span. Categorical variable differences were tested using Fisher’s exact test.
The normality of numerical variable distribution was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk
test. The differences in numerical variables between two independent groups were
tested using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results. The
results show that due to respiratory diseases a significantly large number of
Romani children (43%) were hospitalized once in six months. Fewer children of
Romani research subjects who have indoor plumbing were hospitalized. Romani families
tend to visit a doctor when a child is injured or for a regular check-up rather
than to seek a doctor’s advice. In non-Romani families, children tend to shower
every day, have their own towel and better personal hygiene habits than
children of Romani families. The results clearly show hygiene habits differ
greatly between Romani and non-Romani families. Neglecting their children’s
personal hygiene habits in Romani families points to a problem of insufficient
education of the parents.
Conclusion.
The obtained results point to the importance of constant encouragement and
education of Romani family members, as well as the members of non-Romani families,
in order for them to realize the significance of hygiene and personal hygiene
habits.
Reasons for Student Enrollment in Nursing Studies

Published: December 2020

The aim of the research was to determine
the reasons for students enrolling in nursing studies, priorities in the choice
of studies and differences in the reasons and priorities for choosing enrollment
with regard to previously completed high school. The research was conducted on
full-time nursing students of the University of Applied Health Sciences who
enrolled in the first year of study in the academic year 2017/2018 and
2018/2019. For the purpose of the research, an anonymous questionnaire was
used. The questionnaire includes questions related to demographic data and questions
about the reasons related to enrollment in nursing studies, whether any of
their family members or friends work in the health care system and whether any
of the members of their family is a health worker. Students were required to
rank their choice of the study of nursing on a scale of 1 to 10 at the time of
enrollment. Students who have previously completed high school for nurses most
often stated the expansion of existing knowledge, the acquisition of new knowledge,
and the continuation of previous education as the reasons for enrolling in nursing
studies. Students who have completed other types of high schools stated interest
in medicine, nursing, health, helping others, good employment opportunities,
and nursing being interesting as reasons for enrollment. Participants in this
research significantly more often stated that their family members do not work
in the health care system. When enrolling in the study, the majority of the
students’ first choice was the study of nursing at the higher education institution
where the research was conducted – in the 2017 74.7% of participants, and in
2018 67.3% of participants. There is no statistically significant difference in
the average ranking of the choice of the nursing study with respect to the year
of enrollment (p=0.692).
Information on the reasons for enrollment can help in planning the promotion of
studies and nursing profession in public to encourage students to enroll.
An Overview of Fall Prevention Strategies Among Adult Patients in Hospital Settings
Authors: Jurišković Mladen , Smrekar Martina
Published: December 2020

Falls present a major challenge for
health care systems: they correlate with poor patient outcomes, extend the
length of hospitalization, and increase overall medical expenditure. According
to existing literature, risk factors for the occurrence of falls include the
male gender, urinary incontinence, muscle weakness, agitation or confusion,
and dementia. Studies have shown that the combined practice of identifying risk
factors and implementing appropriate fall prevention interventions leads to a
reduction in the incidence of falls among hospital patients. As the largest
group of health professionals committed to providing high-quality care, nurses
play an important role in preventing falls among patient populations. In
order to prevent falls and maintain patient safety, it is important to identify
the most effective strategies for fall prevention. This study presents an
overview of previously published strategies and intervention practices on fall
prevention in hospital settings around the world. The most common
interventions include fall risk assessment, environment/equipment
modifications, patient education/family education on fall prevention
interventions, staff education on fall reporting and fall prevention, fall
risk alerts, medication management, physical fitness of patients, assistance
with transfer and toileting and effective team communication and leadership.
Ultimately, it is incumbent upon nurses, other health-care professionals and
the entire hospital system to develop effective strategies in order to prevent
falls among hospitalised patients.

Los sólidos de Justiniano I y de Leovigildo. La memoria de Roma a través del Mediterráneo
Authors: Narbona Fernández César
Published: December 2020

A partir del siglo III los emperadores romanos hubieron de hacer frente a la crisis por la que atravesaba el Estado. Uno de los aspectos más endebles del sistema era el económico y, para solucionarlo, los emperadores llevaron a cabo una serie de reformas monetarias; la que perduraría en el tiempo –más allá de la desintegración del Estado Romano a mediados del siglo V- sería la efectuada por Constantino I, continuadora de otra reforma anterior liderada por Diocleciano. Este cambio en el sistema monetario estuvo vigente en nuestra Península, ya bajo el dominio visigodo, hasta bien entrado el siglo VII. Asimismo, se mantuvo también en el Imperio Bizantino, heredero del Imperio Romano y posicionado con fuerza en el otro extremo del Mediterráneo. En el estudio se analizan las semejanzas y diferencias de ambos sistemas monetarios –el visigodo y el bizantino-, haciendo particular referencia a la acuñación de sólidos. Su acuñación tomó como modelo el sistema monetario romano creado a partir de la reforma de Constantino I.

gestión en primarias multigrado indígenas inscritas al PETC: caso comparativo
Authors: Páez Cárdenas Juan , Tinajero Villavicencio María Guadalupe
Published: December 2020

El objetivo del estudio fue explorar los distintos aspectos que inciden en la gestión de dos primarias multigrado del servicio indígena, ambas participantes en el Programa de Escuelas de Tiempo Completo (PETC) en Baja California, México. Se empleó el método de estudio de caso de tipo comparativo desde la perspectiva etnográfica para observar dos escuelas ubicadas en dos ciudades. Los hallazgos revelan que el número, la condición laboral y permanencia de los docentes son elementos diferenciadores que inciden en la gestión de cada plantel. Además, si bien la inyección de recursos económicos y el servicio de alimentación proporcionados por el programa beneficia a las comunidades escolares, la mejora en el servicio educativo no se logra del todo debido a que el PETC incumple su propia normativa y no contempla la totalidad de dimensiones que atraviesan la gestión.

Inversional Relations in Social and Economic Systems
Authors: Sevostyanov Dmitry A.
Published: December 2020

Represents an attempt of philosophical analysis of the inversional relations in society. The author describes inversions of elements in the social hierarchy and postulates opposition of the order and inversion. While the order is the arranged social and economic hierarchy, the inversion on the contrary means functional revolution of subordinated elements or subjects.

In this regard, a study of inversional relations obtains both social and wider philosophical meanings.
“Male life” as a Cultural Project Represented in Literary and “Naïve” Autobiographies
Authors: Radina Nadezhda K.
Published: December 2020

Represents the study based on the use of methods of corpus linguistics and semiotic analysis. The literary and naive autobiographies of men are compared.

If a man brought up in an orphanage, his autobiography reproduces a distorted code of the “male culture”. This fact may be explained by the change in the gender culture content within the closed social groups and violation of mediation in the reproduction of gender culture in deprivation conditions.
