O RECONHECIMENTO DA AUTONOMIA POLÍTICA MUNICIPAL NÃO É SUFICIENTE PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO LOCAL – O DEBATE SOBRE A CRIAÇÃO DE NOVOS MUNICÍPIOS NO BRASIL
Authors: CIOATTO ROBERTA MARINA , BOFF SALETE ORO
Published: December 2017

A federação brasileira é composta pela União, pelos estados-membros, pelo distrito federal e pelos municípios. O texto constitucional prevê as possibilidades de desmembramentos e de criação de novos estados e de novos municípios. Especificamente sobre a criação de municípios, deve-se considerar o impacto gerado na divisão dos recursos entre os demais e, como consequência, nas finanças públicas da integralidade do país. Por esta razão, dever-se-ia cercar de cautela a elaboração de nova proposta de legislação sobre o tema, uma vez que a Presidente do Brasil já vetou projetos de lei que pretendiam regular a criação, a incorporação, a fusão e o desmembramento de novos destes entes federados. E, contrariamente ao que possa acreditar a maioria dos cidadãos das localidades que pretendem se emancipar, a emancipação não é condição suficiente para garantir o desenvolvimento local. Mesmo considerando que a autonomia constitui fundamento do regime democrático, ela não significa, simplesmente, descentralização administrativa territorial. Insistir na “emancipação” pode não condizer com o interesse público e revelar pouco cuidado para com uma questão primordial: a eficiência na administração pública, muito em razão da falta de alocação de recursos. O assunto exige responsabilidade política por parte de toda a nação, e justifica a realização da presente análise.
Substância ética e liberdade política em Hegel
Authors: Costa Victor Cezar Rodrigues da Silva , Sánchez Rios Rodrigo
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo pretende abordar, a partir de uma análise esmiuçada do parágrafo 513 da obra de G. W. F. Hegel “Enciclopédia das Ciências Filosóficas” e do trabalho de comentários de Charles Taylor “Hegel: Sistema, Método e Estrutura” um dos aportes centrais da análise de Hegel acerca da Filosofia do Estado e do Direito, isto é, o cerne da substância ética e da liberdade política em seu sistema filosófico, o Estado. Sustenta-se que o Estado em Hegel, concebido como vida em sociedade política organizada, é a realização da racionalidade, a concretização da História e o último estágio do desenvolvimento do Espírito na visão do filósofo. Tal conclusão é essencial para se estabelecer a partir de que se erige a sociedade atual para além da clássica teoria contratualista.Palavras-Chave: Hegel; Estado; Substância Ética; liberdade política; Crítica ao contratualismo.

Authors: Ly Sa Đào Thị
Published: December 2017

Abstract:  Kon Tum, a mountainous northernmost border province in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, is one of the poorest provinces in Vietnam. Many studies recently identified that the diversification of incomes is a critical livelihood strategy for rural households in developing countries. Thus, this study analyzes the factors influencing income diversification decision for off-farm work of rural households. The binary logit model will be employed to investigate the determinants of income diversification decision of rural households for off-farm work. Through 200 households selected using multi-stage sampling technique, this study showed that participation in off-farm employment was influenced by gender, age, education of household head, family size, number of children attending school, farm size, access to credit, and access to tarred roads. The findings suggested that it is important to support both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors to succeed in terms of poverty reduction and food security.Keywords: income diversification, off-farm work, rural household, poverty,  Kon Tum

Gender-Related Barriers to Service Access and uptake in nutrition programmes
Authors: Zuza Ines , Pérez Bernabé Beatriz , Kumar Sanjay , Woodhead Sophie , Rogers Eleanor , Alvarez Moran Jose Luis , Ituero Clara
Published: December 2017

Background

Approximately 17 million children under five years suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). Although the most frequent barriers to service access in Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programmes have already been identified, there has been no analysis of the relationship between gender-related barriers and access to treatment.

Approach

The main objective is to review the key gender barriers to service access and uptake of treatment in CMAM programmes based on evidence gathered from coverage assessments carried out in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. A retrospective review of twenty-five coverage assessments was undertaken in 2013.

Main findings

Gender-related barriers were detected in 24 of the 25 coverage assessments. The main barriers detected were related to traditional gender roles: Women busy with duties (27.8%) followed by men control household expenditures and decision-making in the family (16.7%) and women sick (15.3%).

Principal conclusions

Gender-related barriers are present in the majority of the nutrition programs, so if the aim is universal coverage, gender should be considered during the coverage assessment

Initiatives contributing to gender equality would contribute to overcoming coverage barriers in CMAM programmes

The traditional use of the CMAM model considered gender with regards to the impact that the intervention could have on gender relations. However gender is now shown to also be a key factor contributing to poor nutrition.

Further research and assessments should include Gender Based Violence as a single barrier, or as a component of other barriers
REFLEKSI ANAK INDIGO DALAM PEREMPUAN MENCARI TUHAN
Authors: Nurfaidah Resti
Published: December 2017

Anak indigo merupakan fenomena abad new age, abad millennium. Anak-anak tersebut kerapkali menunjukkan karakter yang cenderung aneh. Terkadang kehadiran mereka kerapkali menjadi bumerang bagi lingkungan sekitarnya, bahkan, mereka sering dicap sebagai anak berperilaku menyimpang. Terlebih lagi bagi orang tua yang tidak sabar cenderung membawa anak indigo ke pusat rehabilitasi mental. Salah satu sebab yang membedakan anak indigo dengan anak lainnya mereka senantiasa menunjukkan perilaku aneh. Padahal tanpa mereka sadari kebanyakan anak indigo memiliki intelegensi di atas rata-rata atau bahkan kemampuan yang belum tentu dimiliki anak sebayanya. Sementara itu, salah seorang psikoterapis senior di Indonesia mengatakan bahwa anak indigo merupakan anak abnormal karena terjadinya kerusakan pada sistem otak. Sehubungan dengan hal itu anak indigo harus mendapatkan penanganan yang tepat sejak awal dan mereka harus dianggap sebagai anak biasa. Berbeda dengan kondisi di negeri ini, Amerika menjadikan anak indigo sebagai asset yang sangat berharga. Di sana anak indigo dilibatkan dalam penanganan kasus kriminal. Semakin maraknya anak indigo tersebut, banyak penulis yang mengangkat hal itu ke dalam karya mereka. Salah satu di antaranya dapat kita temukan dalam novel Perempuan Mencari Tuhan yang ditulis oleh Yudhistira. Novel tersebut bercerita tentang konflik antara anak indigo dan lingkungan sekitarnya. Lingkungan tersebut menunjukkan sikap tidak berterima kepada anak indigo. Tokoh Garnet menjadi korban ketidakberterimaan atas kelebihan yang dimilikinya. Hal itu menimbulkan kekecewaan dalam diri Garnet dan ia tidak bisa menerima kondisi itu. Hal itu tanpa sengaja membawanya menuju pintu gerbang pencarian jalan menuju Tuhan. Sayang sekali Tuhan Mahakuasa yang ingin ia temui didapatinya di penghujung ajalnya. Novel tersebut sarat dengan penyampaian konflik antara lingkungan dan anak istimewa itu.

Authors: Araújo Gustavo Bacelar Fontenele , De Miranda Liuhan Oliveira , Freitas Daniela Reis Joaquim de
Published: December 2017

Objetivo: Realizar um levantamento na literatura acerca dos principais aspectos que permeiam as coinfecções de indivíduos HIV positivo com o vírus da hepatite B (HB). Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados online PUBMED, Medline, SCielo e LILACS no período de abril a maio de 2014, utilizando os descritores HIV, Hepatite B, coinfection, HVB e AIDS. Foram analisados 21 artigos publicados no período de 2012 a 2014, a fim de se obter apenas dados recentes de coinfecção e comorbidade, de acordo com os critérios inclusivos. Resultados: Existem cerca de 35 milhões de infectados com HIV no mundo, de 3 a 6 milhões deles possuem coinfecção HIV/HB, gerando uma estimativa de 5-20% de coinfecção na população soropositiva. Estudos apontam que o grupo mais suscetível é o de homens com mais de quarenta anos. Observa-se que a coinfecção diminui a probabilidade de sobrevivência de receptores de transplantes renais. Discussão: A prevalência por gênero pode ser explicada pela maior incidência de comportamento promíscuo por parte dos homens, e a idade está relacionada a um maior tempo exposto a comportamentos de risco e também por serem menos atingidos pelas campanhas de vacinação. Conclusão: Observa-se que a vacinação contra a Hepatite é muito importante para evitar as coinfecções com HIV, sendo esta medida importante principalmente para a população masculina com mais de 40 anos. Estudos devem ser realizados visando esclarecer o efeito do HIV e dos antirretrovirais sobre o fígado. Descritores: Hepatite, HIV, Coinfecção.
ALGUNAS APROXIMACIONES A LA AGENDA DE LA SEGURIDAD INTERNACIONAL CONTEMPORÁNEA Y LA INFLUENCIA TEÓRICA EN SUS CONTENIDOS
Authors: César Bartolomé Mariano
Published: December 2017

La Seguridad Internacional es un campo específico de las Relaciones Internacionales que en la actualidad muestra una sólida vigencia, aunque sus perfiles y límites son objeto de debate académico. En este debate confrontan visiones ortodoxas, fuertemente apegadas a los modelos que emergieron a mediados del siglo XVII con la llamada Paz de Westfalia, con otras más flexibles surgidas en las últimas cuatro décadas. Las primeras abordan al tablero mundial en clave únicamente estatal, observando vinculaciones interestatales con claro predominio del poder militarI las segundas, alegando un mayor respaldo empírico, admiten diversos tipos de actores, dinámicas y temas. Con ese contexto, los objetivos del presente trabajo consisten en describir algunos de los aspectos más representativos del mencionado contrapunto entre las visiones clásicas y las lecturas heterodoxas que no se ciñen a los esquemas westfalianos, como así también repasar algunas aristas de la agenda contemporánea de la Seguridad Internacional, indicando el sustento teórico de los heterogéneos contenidos que ha venido incorporando en los últimos tiempos. A tal efecto, en primer lugar describiremos cómo ha mutado la fisonomía y se han ampliado los límites de esa agenda, para luego consignar algunos efectos de ese proceso, finalizando con unas breves conclusiones y tendencias. Desde un punto de vista metodológico, el presente trabajo propone un abordaje de tipo deductivo al objeto de estudio, evolucionando desde enfoques generales hacia planos de mayor especificidadI el análisis alternará entre los niveles descriptivo y explicativo, con empleo de fuentes secundarias y datos cualitativos.
OPTIMIZING SURFACE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY ACQUISITION WITHOUT RIGHT LEG DRIVE CIRCUIT
Authors: Zinvi Fu
Published: December 2017

The right leg drive (RLD) is a circuit associated with electrocardiography acquisition circuits. For electromyography (EMG), the RLD circuit is used to a lesser degree. In general, the RLD circuit provides better noise reduction. This study compares the output of the EMG with and without the RLD circuit. The results indicate that with a good filter design, the direct grounding method can match the RLD in terms of noise reduction. As a result, EMG application, the RLD drive can be omitted.

Authors: Silou T
Published: December 2017

Elionurus hensii yields essential oils composed mainly of para-menthadienols in its stems and about 50 % aristo lone in its roots. These oils, which exhibit anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties, were extracted by hydro distillation with a local extractor and was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC/FID and GC/MS). To optimize this domestic process, a 23 full factorial design is used to assess the effects and interactions of potentially influential factors. Stems yield 1-2% in essential oil. The extraction time and the degree of division of the plant material had negligible effects on the yield. Only the residual water content had a significant positive effect, together with the interaction between this content and the degree of division. The cumulated content of the four isomeric paramenthadienols present in the oil was insensitive to the effects and interactions of the factors.Roots yield 0.5 - 0.9 % in essential oil. The overall effects and interactions of factors on the yield and the aristo lone content were negligible. Principal component analysis of samples obtained with the experimental design, and their radar plots, indicated a very strong resemblance between oils obtained from the same plant part, and a marked difference between those obtained from different plant parts.

Published: December 2017

The effect of sub-zero treatment on 17-4 PH stainless steels is analysed based on ultrasonic cavitation experiments conducted on a vibratory machine with piezoceramic crystals. The results prove that the proposed treatment (solution treatment + sub-zero cooling + tempering), favours a reduction, by about 40%, of the mean depth of erosion, and mean depth erosion rate after 165 min of erosion by vibratory cavitation, compared to the solution treatment. The improvement of the cavitation erosion behaviour is explained based on hardness, metallographic and X-ray diffraction analysis.

The degree of crack growth in asphalt pavement is an important decision-making factor in road maintenance management. Automatic crack detection is based mainly on digital images; this factor makes effective detection of the degree of crack growth difficult. Infrared thermography was used, and a detection method for the degree of crack growth on the basis of infrared imaging was proposed. Infrared images included gray-level information on cracks and temperature information; the latter provided one additional dimension of information over ordinary images. Temperature information was used to detect the degree of crack growth. Atmospheric temperature was found to be the main factor that affected the temperature difference between a crack and the road surface. This temperature difference varied significantly for different extents of crack growth, and therefore this difference can be used to detect the degree of crack growth. Two classification functions that divided the degree of crack growth into three grades were obtained by classifying data through the use of a support vector machine. A suitable environmental condition for using the detection model was proposed. The experimental results showed that the average model error was 15.4%, which indicated a good application prospect and an improvement in economic benefit for pavement maintenance.
Application of Dempster–Shafer Data Fusion Technique in Support of Decision Making with Big Data
Authors: Yi Ping , Zhang Songling
Published: December 2017

This paper introduces applications of the Dempster–Shafer (D-S) data fusion technique in transportation system decision making. D-S inference is a statistics-based data classification technique, and it can be used when data sources contribute discontinuous and incomplete information and no single data source can produce an overwhelmingly high probability of certainty for identifying the most probable event. The technique captures and combines the information contributed by the data sources by using Dempster’s rule to find the conjunction of the events and to determine the highest associated probability. The D-S theory is explained and its implementation described through numerical examples of a ride-hauling service and of crowd management at a subway station. Results from the applications have shown that the technique is very effective in dealing with incomplete information and multiple data sources in the era of big data.

Published: December 2017

This research developed an ecodriving support platform based on Internet+ technology and aimed at real-time dynamic collection and feedback optimization of driving behavior. The system served government and enterprises in monitoring and managing drivers’ driving behaviors and provides practical ecodriving feedback information on improvement in individual drivers’ driving behavior through a smartphone app. The vehicle operation data were collected by onboard diagnostics and GPS devices mounted on vehicles, and then these basic data were transmitted to the cloud platform for storage through a 3G network. The user information about ecodriving behaviors was created and stored in a local server. Nine driving events related to ecodriving and an ecodriving score could be detected and estimated. The validation test of 50 taxicab drivers’ fuel consumption of 1 month before and after receiving ecodriving feedback through the smartphone app showed that the effectiveness of the ecodriving app on reducing fuel consumption was statistically significant, with an average reduction of 4.5% and the highest of 13.0%. Furthermore, both the adaptive process at the beginning of and a long-term effect after a period of time were maintained for ecodriving training through the smartphone app. In addition, the relationship between vehicle fuel consumption and app usage frequency was found to be highly linear: fuel consumption decreased as app usage increased. The study results demonstrated a real-time dynamic and practical approach for the ecodriving app and further provided a research platform for monitoring and management of driving behavior in the big data era.

Published: December 2017

Crowdsourced GPS probe data, such as travel time on changeable-message signs and incident detection, have been gaining popularity in recent years as a source for real-time traffic information to driver operations and transportation systems management and operations. Efforts have been made to evaluate the quality of such data from different perspectives. Although such crowdsourced data are already in widespread use in many states, particularly the high traffic areas on the Eastern seaboard, concerns about latency—the time between traffic being perturbed as a result of an incident and reflection of the disturbance in the outsourced data feed—have escalated in importance. Latency is critical for the accuracy of real-time operations, emergency response, and traveler information systems. This paper offers a methodology for measuring probe data latency regarding a selected reference source. Although Bluetooth reidentification data are used as the reference source, the methodology can be applied to any other ground truth data source of choice. The core of the methodology is an algorithm for maximum pattern matching that works with three fitness objectives. To test the methodology, sample field reference data were collected on multiple freeway segments for a 2-week period by using portable Bluetooth sensors as ground truth. Equivalent GPS probe data were obtained from a private vendor, and their latency was evaluated. Latency at different times of the day, impact of road segmentation scheme on latency, and sensitivity of the latency to both speed-slowdown and recovery-from-slowdown episodes are also discussed.

Published: December 2017

Lane changing is a complex decision-making process that is affected by factors such as vehicle features, driver characteristics, network attributes, and traffic conditions. Understanding the changes in driver behavior and vehicle trajectory before the lane change initiation process is essential to the design of a safe and reliable crash avoidance system. The recently introduced connected vehicle (CV) technology provides opportunities for real-time, high-resolution data exchange capability between vehicles. This study explored the high-resolution vehicle trajectory data attainable in CV environments for detecting the onset of lane change maneuvers. The observed change in behavior before the initiation of such a maneuver was examined to identify the associated driving pattern. This pattern was used to develop two lane change detection models: an artificial neural network (ANN) model and a multiple logistic regression (MLR) model. The two models were trained and tested with Next Generation Simulation data collected from a weaving freeway segment in Arlington, Virginia. The results show 80% detection accuracy for the ANN model, compared with 72% for the MLR model. The developed models identified the vehicle speed, acceleration, and speed relative to the lead vehicle as the most significant attributes for lane change detection. Drivers’ intentions could be detected early and potential crashes could be prevented by training these models to capture similar driving behavior patterns.

This paper describes the effects of low intensity continuous ultrasound (LICU) on the inflammatory response of mouse pancreatic tumor explants. While there are many reports focusing on the application of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on cell cultures and tissues, the effects of continuous oscillations on biological tissues have never been investigated. Here we present an exploratory study of the effects induced by LICU on mouse pancreatic tumor explants. We show that LICU causes significant upregulation of IFN-γ, IL-1β, and TNF-α on tumor explants. No detectable effects were observed on tumor vasculature or collagen I deposition, while thermal and mechanical effects were not apparent. Tumor explants responded as a single unit to acoustic waves, with spatial pressure variations smaller than their size.

Published: December 2017

With the development of smart grid technology, there has been an increasingly strong tendency towards the integration between the aspects of power and communication. The traditional power system has gradually transformed into the cyber-physical power system (CPPS), where co-simulation technologies can be utilized as an effective measure to describe the computation, communication, and integration processes of a power grid. In this paper, the construction methods and application scenarios of co-simulation platforms in the current research are first summarized. Then, a scheme of the real-time hardware-in-the-loop co-simulation platform is put forward. On the basis of power grid simulation developed with the Real-Time Laboratory (RT-LAB), and the communication network simulation developed with OPNET, the control center was developed with hardware devices to realize real-world control behavior instead of digital simulations. Therefore, the mixed-signal platform is capable of precisely simulating the dynamic features of CPPS with high speed. The distributed simulation components can be coordinated in a unified environment with high interoperability and reusability. Moreover, through a case study of a wide area load control system, the performance of the proposed platform under various conditions of control strategies, communication environments, and sampling frequencies was revealed and compared. As a result, the platform provided an intuitive and accurate way to reconstruct the CPPS environment where the influence of the information side of the CPPS control effects was verified.

Febuxostat (FB) is a poorly water-soluble drug that belongs to BCS class II. The drug is employed for the treatment of inflammatory disease arthritis urica (gout), and the free base, FB form-A, is most preferred for drug formulation. In order to achieve a goal of improving the water solubility of FB form-A, this study was carried out using the cocrystallization technique called the liquid-assisted grinding method to produce FB cocrystals. Here, five amino acids containing amine (NH), oxygen (O), and hydroxyl (OH) functional groups, and possessing difference of pKa less than 3 with FB, were selected as coformers. Then, solvents including methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-hexane, dichloromethane, and acetone were used for the cocrystal screening. As a result, a cocrystal was obtained when acetone and l-pyroglutamic acid (PG) of 0.5 eq. were employed as solvent and coformer, respectively. The ratio of 2:1, which is the ratio of FB to PG within FB-PG cocrystal, was predicted by means of solid-state CP/MAS 13C-NMR, solution-state NMR (1H, 13C, and 2D) and FT-IR. Moreover, Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the characteristics of FB-PG cocrystal. In addition, comparative solubility tests between FB-PG cocrystal and FB form-A were conducted in deionized water and under simulated gastrointestinal pH (1.2, 4, and 6.8) conditions. The result revealed that FB-PG cocrystal has a solubility of four-fold higher than FB form-A in deionized water and two-fold and five-fold greater than FB form-A at simulated gastrointestinal pH 1.2 and pH 4, respectively. Besides, solubilities of FB-PG cocrystal and FB form-A at pH 6.8 were similar to the results measured in deionized water. Therefore, it is postulated that FB-PG cocrystal has a potential overcoming the limitations related to the low aqueous solubility of FB form-A. Accordingly, FB-PG cocrystal is suggested as an alternative active pharmaceutical ingredient of the currently used FB form-A.

Published: December 2017

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the band-gap and transmission properties of phononic crystal (PC) beams immersed in water. Spectral element method (SEM) is developed for theoretical analysis in which the hydrodynamic loading is taken into consideration. Influence of the hydrodynamic loading on band-gap and transmission properties of the PC beams are studied. To directly detect the displacement transmission of a fully or partially submerged PC beam, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) displacement sensing system is set up. Agreement between the experimental results and theoretical/numerical calculations also indicates the excellent dynamic sensing performance of the FBG sensing system in the research of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem. Obvious lowering of the band gaps due to fluid-solid coupling is clearly demonstrated. The results in this work might be useful in research such as active tuning of the band gap and transmission properties of the PCs through fluid-solid coupling.
