Authors: Pissaia Luís Felipe , Moccelin Jéssica Maria , Costa Arlete Eli Kunz da , Rehfeldt Márcia Jussara Hepp , Moreschi Claudete
Published: July 2017

O envelhecimento populacional é destacado como um fenômeno mundial e, atrelado a este processo, observa-se uma elevação no número de doenças crônico-degenerativas. Consequentemente, estas mudanças geram a necessidade de cuidados permanentes, surgindo como apoio à formação de cuidadores para aqueles que pretendem exercê-los. Por meio deste estudo objetiva-se realizar uma reflexão acerca do ensino profissionalizante na formação do cuidador de idosos. Utilizaram-se como bases para a reflexão diversas obras científicas que abordam a temática, além da experimentação em uma turma de cuidadores de idosos de uma escola profissionalizante do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Com base na reflexão proposta, considera-se que a profissionalização destes indivíduos torna-se necessária à medida que o contingente populacional idoso aumenta, a fim de garantir uma assistência qualificada e integral para esta população específica, além disso, identificou-se que práticas de ensino baseadas em metodologias de problematização fortalecem a apreensão do conhecimento e posterior contextualização sobre seu papel enquanto profissional.
Poczucie sensu życia osób uzależnionych od narkotyków
Authors: Kaczyńska Marta
Published: July 2017

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań oceny zmian zachodzących w sferze egzystencjonalnej (poczucia sensu życia) osób uzależnionych od narkotyków i poddanych terapii. Badania przeprowadzono w Poradni Profilaktyki i Leczenia Uzależnień MONAR w Lublinie. Przebadano 25 pacjentów Ośrodka w wieku od 17 do 58 lat. Grupą porównawczą w pierwszej części badań, dotyczących poczucia sensu życia, były osoby nieuzależnione. W drugiej części badań, badając różnice w poziome uzależnienia i poczucia sensu życia u osób uzależnionych z różnych ośrodków terapeutyczno-resocjalizacyjnych, grupę porównawczą tworzyli pacjenci z Ośrodka MONAR z Głoskowa. Posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego z zastosowaniem Kwestionariusza testu przesiewowego uzależnienia od narkotyków opartego na kryteriach ICD-10 oraz Skali Sensu Życia (PIL). Na podstawie wyników badań określono poziom poczucia sensu życia osób uzależnionych od narkotyków. Przeprowadzona analiza wyników badań empirycznych wykazała, że osoby silnie uzależnione mają niższy poziom poczucia sensu życia.
„Jestem bezsilna, mogę popłakać w ukryciu” – kobiety skazane na kary długoterminowe o dolegliwościach pobytu w więzieniu
Authors: Chmielewska Jagoda
Published: July 2017

Autorka omawia dolegliwości odczuwane przez kobiety skazane na kary długoterminowe oraz sytuacje trudne przez nie doświadczane. Pierwsza część artykułu to podbudowa teoretyczna. Omówiono w niej sytuacje trudne i dolegliwości doświadczane przez osoby pozbawione wolności wspólne dla obydwu płci. Jednakże odczuwane elementy opisanego zbioru dolegliwości, a także ich stopień, są indywidualne dla każdego skazanego, a ich aktywizacja jest zależna nie tylko od osobowości skazanego, jego sytuacji przed osadzeniem czy typu zakładu karnego, ale także płci jednostki inkarcerowanej. Podjęta problematyka wymagała więcodrębnego zaprezentowania kwestii związanych z odczuwaniem dolegliwości kary pozbawienia wolności przez kobiety. Druga część to analiza badań własnych autorki przeprowadzonych w Zakładzie Karnym nr 1 w Grudziądzu. Artykuł kończą wnioski dotyczące dolegliwości kary pozbawienia wolności odczuwane przez kobiety skazane na kary długoterminowe i wskazania dotyczące pracy penitencjarnej z badanymi kobietami.
Prężność psychiczna a wsparcie społeczne w grupie młodzieży nieprzystosowanej społecznie.Badania pilotażowe.
Authors: Konaszewski Karol , Kwadrans Łukasz
Published: July 2017

Celem niniejszego doniesienia jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy poziom prężności psychicznej łączy się z poczuciem otrzymywanego wsparcia w grupie osób badanych. Badania przeprowadzono na 174-osobowej grupie nastolatków, obojga płci, w wieku 14–18 lat.W prezentowanych badaniach uczestniczyły dwie grupy respondentów, 112 osoby zaklasyfikowano do grupy nieprzystosowanych społecznie, natomiast 62 osoby do grupy porównawczej. Badania przeprowadzono w ośrodkach kuratorskich. Do zbadania prężności psychicznej wykorzystano Polska skala SPP-18 N. Ogińskiej-Bulik i Z. Juczyńskiego oraz Kwestionariusz Czynników Wsparcia własnego autorstwa. Uzyskano następujące rezultaty: ogólny poziom prężności psychicznej koherencji i czynników 1, 3, 4 nie różni się istotnie w porównywanych grupach. Młodzież nieprzystosowana społecznie różni się istotnie od młodzieży z grupy porównawczej w wytrwałości i determinacji w działaniu oraz poczuciu wsparcia szkolnego. Prężność psychiczna oraz poczucie wsparcia (rodzinnego, szkolnego, rówieśniczego) korelują ze sobą w grupie młodzieży nieprzystosowanej.
Wyjaśnienie zależności pomiędzy przymierzem terapeutycznym a efektami terapii: rola pośredniczącego wpływu wieku i płci w leczeniu uzależnień u osób nieletnich
Authors: Afolabi Olusegun E. , Adebayo Fatai A.
Published: July 2017

Związek pomiędzy przymierzem (relacją, sojuszem) terapeutyczną a rezultatami terapii został już dawno przedstawiony w wielu opracowaniach i metaanalizach. Jeśli jednak chodzi o leczenie osób uzależnionych nieletnich, to nadal jest to obszar mało zbadany. Niniejsze opracowanie obejmuje badanie czynników wpływających na związek pomiędzy relacją terapeutyczną a efektami leczenia uzależnionych nieletnich. Zbadano pośredniczący wpływ zmiennych demograficznych, tzn. wieku i płci, na próbie uzależnionych nieletnich w centrum rehabilitacji szpitala uniwersyteckiego (UCH) w Ibadan, stan Oyo, Nigeria. W badaniu wzięło udział pięćdziesięciu trzech nieletnich, którzy przed leczeniem wypełnili ankiety oceny własnej gotowości i oczekiwań (teoria zmiany pacjenta) względem terapii, a w czasie leczenia ankiety dotyczące relacji terapeutycznej. Wyniki prezentowanych badań wskazują, że wiek nie wpływa na związek pomiędzy relacją terapeutyczną a efektami leczenia uzależnień osób nieletnich.Ponadto, wyniki wykazały istotną zależność od płci, jeśli chodzi o zmienne motywacyjne przed terapią oraz opinie pacjentów na temat relacji terapeutycznej i wyników leczenia. Ostatecznie zaproponowano, że wczesna identyfikacja zmiennych demograficznych wpływających na leczenie uzależnień wśród nieletnich, jako atrybucja ich odporności, ma związek z wiekiem i płcią.

Efectos del control de convencionalidad en la jurisprudencia del consejo de estado
Authors: Mercado Pérez David , Ruiz Correa Carmen Rosa
Published: July 2017

The Jurisprudence of the Court I.D.H. has created the Conventional Control. Created on purpose, this is a figure of American International Law that implies that all the organs of power of the States that conform the Pact of San Jose especially those in charge of administer justice must abide and apply. This control is of international praetorian creation. We analyze the jurisprudence of the Council of State that orders the Colombian State to repair damages caused when its military forces of colombia and the police forget their constitutional duties. They highlight the efforts to fully repair the victims of mass violations in Colombia in collusion with “Paracas” organizations applying the jurisprudence of the Court I.D.H. This means that the time when compensation was only ordered in gold pesos or based on the present value formula is exceeded and therefore in the matter of reparation the control of conventionality operates in full supported by the principle Restitutio in Integrum.
Estudio de la frecuencia de parpadeo y evaluación de la película lagrimal en superficie ocular de cobayos
Authors: Barros-Centeno MF , González-Castellanos ME , Martinez D
Published: July 2017

La Queratopatía Climática Esferoidea (QCE) es una enfermedad degenerativa de la córnea humana caracterizada por la agregación de proteínas bajo el epitelio y una progresiva opacidad corneal, causada por condiciones ambientales desfavorables. Si bien esta patología fue descripta por primera vez hace más de cien años, en la actualidad no existe un modelo experimental de QCE que permita avanzar en el conocimiento de la etiopatogenia de la misma para plantear posibles tratamientos. En el intento por desarrollar este modelo en cobayos y debido a la escasa bibliografía disponible que describa la anatomía, fisiología y superficie ocular de estos animales, realizamos diferentes tests fisiológicos de superficie ocular en cobayos y lo compararemos con el humano. Métodos: Para estos estudios se utilizaron 15 cobayos. Se realizaron videograbaciones de los mismos en un ambiente de tranquilidad y bajo ciertos estímulos para estudiar la dinámica de parpadeo y sueño. Con el fin de analizar la producción y la estabilidad del film lagrimal, se realizaron test de Schirmer, medición de la altura del menisco lagrimal inferior por OCT visante y tiempo de ruptura precorneal (TRP) respectivamente. Resultados: El cobayo parpadea de forma completa y parcial, siendo más frecuente ésta última modalidad. La frecuencia y tipo de parpadeos/ minuto fue: Total= 2.35± 0.87; completos= 0.68±0.43; parciales= 1.49±0.75. Su frecuencia de parpadeo es 5 veces menor que en humanos. La respuesta palpebral frente a diferentes estímulos externos fue escasa. Los cobayos no poseen hábitos nocturnos como muchos roedores y duermen por cortos períodos. A menudo no cierran completamente los ojos. Test de Schirmer cobayos: 8.14±1.86 mm/5 min (Humanos: 11.9 ± 6.79 mm/5 min). Altura menisco inferior cobayos: 0,206 ± 0,059 mm (Humanos: 0,277 ± 0,033 mm). TRP cobayos: 2-3 min. (Humanos: 10-15 seg). Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el cobayo, a diferencia de humanos, tiene una frecuencia de parpadeo menor. A su vez, esto se puede correlacionar con una producción de lágrima disminuida (objetivada con Test de Schirmer) y una mayor estabilidad de la película lagrimal, como lo evidencia el prolongado TRP.

This will allow the University to create better information management practices and assist the University achieve its strategic goals.
Strategic Management Practices: An Investigation of Public Sector Organizations in the Kingdom of Bahrain
Authors: Abushabab Wajdi , Abdi Reza
Published: July 2017

Several authors argued that strategic planning is limited and not producing the needed outcomes. In todayâ€™s increasingly challenging environment, it is argued that public sector organizations are expected to shift from traditional strategic planning to the strategic management approach in order to achieve their desired outcomes. Previous research has focused almost upon developed, and not on developing countries, for instance, the Kingdom of Bahrain. This study will be the first of its kind to focus on strategic management practices based on the new strategy of Bahrain for 2030. Using quantitative survey method, this paper aims to explore the progress of the transition from strategic planning to the strategic management approach in the public sector of Bahrain, and then the paper explores the elements that are related to successful strategic management approach in these organizations. The findings reveal that the progress in the transition from strategic planning to a strategic management approach in most of the organizations surveyed was limited. However, some of the organizations were found to be at the start of such a transition and this may be a good sign. Additionally, the findings reported many leading edge elements that are closely related to this transition.
Early physiotherapeutic interventions in Intensive Care Units
Authors: Tomic Sanja , Matijasevic Jovan , Andrijevic Ilija , Milutinovic Dragana
Published: July 2017

Physical morbidity represents the deterioration of the general physical
condition and it occurs as a result of illness and/or injury. When this
condition is combined with acute diseases and limited mobility it is followed
by a large number of complications that usually occur in patients treated in
Intensive Care Units (ICU). Its treatment demands a comprehensive approach
and early rehabilitation of the critically ill patients aimed at achieving
the highest possible level of functionality within the boundaries of what is
permitted by the illness/injury and its treatment. However, the prolonged
period of immobilization of the critically ill is followed by shorter and/or
longer periods of sequelae during and after treatment. The most common
sequelae include physical deficits or psycho-emotional problems associated
with PICS (post intensive care syndrome). General recommendations for early
rehabilitation in the ICU undoubtedly point to the need of introducing
physical therapy interventions as soon as possible, that is, as soon as the
patient?s medical condition permits it. The primary goal of early
rehabilitation of the critically ill during their stay in the ICU is to
maximize the restoration of physical, psycho-emotional and social functions
by implementing a personalized approach that reflects the needs of the
patient.
Early treatment and intensive care of children with burn injury
Authors: Petrov Ivana , Budic Ivana , Simic Irena , Simic Dusica
Published: July 2017

Major burn injury remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in
pediatric patients. The treatment of burned children differs substantially
from that of adults not only because of the different body proportions but
also because of the metabolic processes involved, hormonal responses, the
immunological profile, the degree of psychological maturation and healing
potential. After assessing the overall physiological status of the child,
accurate assessment of the burn injury and appropriate fluid resuscitation
are of great importance. The severity of burn injury is characterized by the
depth of the burn, total body surface area (TBSA) that is involved, the
location of burn injury and the presence or absence of inhalation injury.
Early excision and grafting, adequate nutrition, alleviation of the
hypermetabolic response, treatment of hyperglycaemia, and physical therapy
improve survival and outcomes in children with severe burns.
Central venous pressure up date: What is it good for?
Authors: Unic-Stojanovic Dragana , Jovic Miomir
Published: July 2017

Central venous pressure is a very common clinical measurement, but it is
frequently misunderstood and misused. As with all hemodynamic measurements,
it is important to understand its basic principles. Use of CVP for the
estimating of cardiac preload and volume status requires an understanding of
its determinants. Actually, CVP and cardiac output are determined by the
interaction of two function curves: the cardiac function curve and the return
curve. There are no data to support the widespread practice of using central
venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid therapy. But, CVP is readily available
in many patients. The fact that an isolated measurement of CVP does not
predict the response to a fluid bolus does not reduce its importance as a
hemodynamic variable. CVP may be usefull taken in the context of the whole
clinical picture and over time.
Utilization of African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) kernel meal in broiler diets
Authors: Azor Annongu , Kolade Joseph , Adebisi Adeyina , Foluke Sola-Ojo , Johannes Edoh , Solomon Ajide
Published: July 2017

The effect of feeding graded levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%) of
untreated African star apple kernel meal (ASAKM) on the performance and blood
profile of broilers was investigated in an 8-week trial. Two hundred and ten
oneweek-old Cobb strain broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 7 diets with
3 replicates of 10 chicks per replicate in a completely randomized design.
Data on minerals, vitamins, amino acids and quantification of some
anti-nutrients were assayed. The results showed that the kernel was high in
nutrients, especially carbohydrate as a source of energy but contains high
levels of anti-nutritional or toxic factors. Performance traits (p<0.05) of
broilers fed ASAKM gave poor results though without mortality. The increment
of dietary levels of the untreated ASAKM did not negatively influence blood
composition and most of the measured biochemical indices, the parameters were
better (p<0.05), or had values statistically similar with the control diet
compared with those on the test diets (p>0.05). Increasing levels of ASAKM in
diets caused elevation of AST, ALT, ALP and a significant increase in blood
urea levels in the raw kernel meal based diets relative to the control diet
(p<0.05). Based on the performance of the birds fed the raw ASAKM, it may be
concluded that broilers could barely tolerate 5% raw ASAKM in their diets
with minimum adverse effects. However, the values of the blood parameters
particularly the red blood cells favoured erythropoiesis, suggesting that the
African star apple kernel meal had no detrimental effect on the health status
of the birds. Subsequent research should process the raw star apple seed meal
before dietary inclusion for optimum results.

Series Compensation for Hydro-Quebec Long Distribution Lines.
Authors: R. Wamkeue  , N. Kandil  , J. East  , Y.Boisclair
Published: July 2017

The paper focuses on the use of series compensation in a Hydro-Quebec long distribution line. The basic theory of a series compensation is outlined together with operation network constraints that should be respected in practical applications. The study is done on a 60km radial distribution line supplying both industrial and residential customers. Three levels of compensation rate have been tested, 0% (non compensated), 36% and 60% in both frequency response and time domains. Simulation results greatly attest the effectiveness and the practicability of the series compensation of long distribution line in transient and steady state improvement of the voltage profile and fluctuation reduction
Electromagnetic Finite Element Calculations of Permanent Magnet Generators for ECObulb and HYDROMATRIX Applications.
Authors: E. Schlemmer  , F. Müller
Published: July 2017

Although HYDROMATRIXÔ and ECOBulbÔ technologies are relatively new, they can be considered as a ecologically and economically sound method for the generation of electric energy. With the advent of high energy permanent magnets, several restrictions in geometrical dimensioning have become much less severe. The use of permanent magnets for the excitation of synchronous generators has several beneficial effects such as the improvement of the load factor (compared with asynchronous generators) and the elimination of the ohmic losses in the field coils. Nevertheless, the use of permanent magnets poses several challenges for the design engineer. One of them is the exact prediction of the induced voltage since there is no possibility to re-adjust the voltage by a field current. Second, there is the possibility of de-magnetisation of the magnets in the event of an short circuit which has to be prevented. Additionally, the slot ripple losses in the surface of the rotor parts tends to increase the magnets’ temperature which makes them more vulnerable against de-magnetisation in the case of a short-circuit. The application of modern computation methods to the mentioned problems will be demonstrated in this paper.

Wind Turbine Generation System Implemented with a Car Alternator for Use in Isolated Locations
Authors: H. Fernández  , A. Martínez  , V. Guzmán  , M. Giménez
Published: July 2017

This work presents a wind driven AC electrical generator system for use in isolated locations. The mechanical energy is provided by a vertical axis wind turbine, connected to a standard car alternator. This arrangement requires no mechanical speed control and, as far as possible, can be produced and serviced in many workshops in third word countries, without special tooling and using locally available materials and parts. Controlling the alternator field current a regulated 12 Vdc supply is generated. The 12 Vdc (nominal) output is fed to the power electronic block formed by a chopper up-converter and an inverter stage. Four different output units are available, providing four different quality outputs: a simple non-filtered single phase square wave inverter; a filtered PWM-controlled single phase inverter providing a line-line AC supply (115 V rms, 60 Hz, for Venezuela); a standard low power UPS; and a filtered PWM-controlled three-phase AC supply (208 V rms, 60 Hz, for Venezuela).
This work presents the initial test results, using the alternator and the power electronic blocks, and emulating the wind turbine with an AC motor.
Reconversion of Traditional Water Extraction Windmills in Mallorca to Produce Electrical Power.
Authors: José Pascual Tortell
Published: July 2017

Traditionally, windmills have been used in the agricultural area of Mallorca (Spain) and especially at Campos area, to extract water from wells and use it for watering.
During the Middle Ages the number of windmills grew. Most of them were for flour although some were also used for water. . From this moment on their growth was spectacular (in Palma there were 36 in 1872, 200 in 1891, 897 in 1951 and 1308 in 1958). There were easily over 3000 in all of Mallorca Island.
With the arrival of electrical mains and the explosion motor, motors that extract water replaced the windmills. Many windmills have disappeared, others are in precarious conditions.
One aspect that hasn’t been dealt with until now is the technical analysis and the project of reconverting these slow rotational speed Machines moved by the energy of air in movement to take advantage of it in obtaining electrical power. The specific objectives that can be summed up as the following:
Reconvert and adapt a technology and means of taking advantage of the wind energy existing on this island, yet forgotten, and introducing the novelty of the production of electricity on a small scale in order to take full advantage of it, save and replace other sources of power in the agricultural sector (lighting, water extraction, watering, climatic adaptation of greenhouses, desalting brackish water, etc.) All of this improving the present visual and environmental impact, given the progressive state of abandonment and deterioration which the 3000 installations of this sort which are calculated to exist on the island of Mallorca and which are object of our attention.

PERAN MADRASAH DALAM MENGHADAPI ERA GLOBALISASI DAN BUDAYA
Authors: Chaer Moh. Toriqul
Published: July 2017

The development of the madrasa in the context of modern it is quite interesting if it is linked with the phenomenon of globalization which brings significant changes to systems and madrasah curriculum which previously was the result of the development of the educational system individually and pretty loaded with Islamic education. Recent development shows that the madrasa has been doing adaptations with the demands of globalization, which became a milestone for the formation of "modern" madrasah with an image in contrast to the madrasa. In this context, the madrasa seems to not see globalization as a thing to be feared but should be faced.

Authors: Kondo Naoki , Tanifuji Osamu , Mochizuki Tomoharu , Sudo Yosuke , Endo Naoto
Published: July 2017

A 45-year-old male suffered from persistent swelling and redness with pain in his left lower leg and ankle. Pathological findings isolated from the ankle joint by arthroscopic synovectomy showed mild synovitis. Initially, this case was diagnosed as chronic mild arthritis and later treated as phlegmon because of persistent redness and swelling inflammatory findings in his left lower leg. A systemic survey was performed. Based on findings, such as chronic ankle arthritis with ipsilateral plantar pustulosis, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis in left distal tibia with MRI, calcaneal osteitis with computed tomography, and pathological findings that neither malignant tumor nor infection was detected, this case reached the definitive diagnosis of SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome. Hot spots detected in the bilateral sternoclavicular and costosternal joints with bone scintigraphy and their arthritic change detected by computed tomography also supported the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome. This case was refractory to NSAIDS; therefore, the TNF inhibitor, certolizumab pegol was tried. This agent rapidly improved not only the chief complaints, but also objective symptoms and laboratory findings at most 6 weeks after its administration.
Propuesta metodológica para medir la sostenibilidad costera local en zonas áridas: su aplicación en la Reserva de la Biósfera El Vizcaíno
Authors: Lagunas-Vázques Magdalena , Almendárez-Hernández Marco Antonio , Beltrán-Morales Luis Felipe , Ortega-Rubio Alfredo
Published: July 2017

El objetivo principal del presente análisis fue utilizar el paradigma de zonas secas (DDP por sus siglas en inglés) como herramienta metodológica en la medición de la sostenibilidad en un estudio de caso costero en un ecosistema desértico. La información social y ambiental del área de estudio se obtuvo a través de revisiones bibliográficas especializadas y toma de datos de campo, con apoyo de herramientas etnográficas, etnoecológicas y de investigación participativa. Metodología. La propuesta metodológica se basó en el marco conceptual del paradigma de desarrollo de zonas secas (DDP). Resultados. Se observa que más del 50% de los sistemas socioecológicos identificados en la ZPN se ubican dentro de los rangos de insostenibilidad y sostenibilidad lejana, que la proporción sostenible, aproximadamente el 20% en este sistema ZPN tienen que ver con procesos sociales y muy locales. Limitaciones. La limitación es que el trabajo solamente puede ser útil para analizar procesos de sostenibilidad en sistemas socioecológicos que cumplan con elementos que maneja la teoría del paradigma de zonas secas. Conclusiones. El estudio se considera una aportación novedosa a las diversas herramientas de medición de la sostenibilidad que actualmente se manejan en la ciencia de la sostenibilidad.

Authors: Carrazco Escalante José Crisóforo , León Balderrama Jorge Inés
Published: July 2017

Objetivo. Evaluar la CapAb de las empresas dedicadas a la acuacultura de camarón en la región norte de Sinaloa y analizar la relación entre las distintas dimensiones de la CapAb y la competitividad de estas empresas. Metodología. Se diseñó un instrumento de medición que arrojara información sobre el perfil, la existencia y medición de las capacidades de adquisición, asimilación, transformación y explotación del conocimiento de cada empresa y la evaluación de su nivel de competitividad. Resultados. Éstos señalan que existe, estadísticamente, una relación positiva significativa entre las capacidades de adquisición, asimilación, transformación y explotación del conocimiento y la competitividad de las empresas estudiadas. Limitaciones. El tamaño limitado de la muestra de empresas, así como el estar enfocada en ámbitos geográfico y sectorial muy concretos. Por ello no es posible asumir algún alcance hacia la generalización de los hallazgos. Conclusiones. Se reporta la importancia empírica con un fuerte respaldo teórico que permite evidenciar el papel que juega la CapAb en relación al desempeño de las organizaciones, en un ámbito y con unidades de análisis poco estudiadas hasta el momento en la literatura existente sobre esta línea de investigación.
Consumo con conciencia social y ecológica en nueve municipios del área metropolitana de Monterrey
Authors: Luyando Cuevas José Raúl , Alvarado Lagunas Elías , Morales Ramírez Dionicio
Published: July 2017

Objetivo: realizar un estudio sobre el tipo de consumo que se practica en el Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. Con el propósito de saber si éste se efectúa de forma tal que los individuos pudieran estar considerando su impacto sobre el medio ambiente. Metodología: se efectuó una encuesta a 613 personas del lugar y los resultados fueron analizados con métodos estadísticos. Resultados: se encontró que aunque la gente señala conocer conceptos relacionados a la sostenibilidad, le dan poca importancia al perjuicio que su demanda de bienes y servicios causa al medio ambiente. Limitaciones: por cuestiones presupuestarias, haber realizado un muestreo que aunque representativo no fue aleatorio. Conclusiones: aunque los individuos en su mayoría señalan conocer conceptos relacionados a la sostenibilidad, podemos advertir que más que razonados estos son intuitivos y, en general, aleccionados desde los medios de comunicación.

Authors: Maldonado Montalvo Juan , Ramírez Juárez Javier , Méndez Espinoza José Arturo , Pérez Ramírez Nicolás
Published: July 2017

El objetivo: analizar el juego y estrategias que establecen los actores sociales por la disputa del capital económico, lo que es fundamental para la reproducción social de las Unidades de Producción Familiar y de quienes forman parte del campo social del brócoli de las localidades de Los Reyes de Juárez y Palmarito Tochapa del valle de Tepeaca, Puebla, México. Metodología. Se utilizó la técnica de investigación de “Estudios de casos”, entrevistando a pequeños productores, comercializadores, técnicos y funcionarios de las instituciones públicas y privadas. Resultados: éstos indican que las pequeñas unidades de producción familiar deciden entrar al juego por la lucha del capital económico, bajos sus propios riegos, en la que el precio determino su salida temporal. El 73% de sus inversiones están destinadas a la compra de agroquímicos, provocando con esto altos costos de producción. Limitaciones. en el campo social del brócoli las unidades de producción familiar no solamente encuentran limitante en la esfera de la exportación, sino también en la asistencia técnica, carencia de recursos económicos para la innovación técnica tecnológica y acceso a recursos financiero. Conclusión. En el campo social del brócoli, los agentes y las unidades de producción familiar operan en un ámbito del territorio y del espacio social construido en el que establecen relaciones sociales de producción, unidas a la posesión de una red duradera de relaciones institucionales, que les permite entrar y salir del juego, así como luchar por el capital económico.
Measuring the Intensity of Attacks in Argumentation Graphs with Shapley Value
Authors: Amgoud Leila , Ben-Naim Jonathan , Vesic Srdjan
Published: July 2017

In an argumentation setting, a semantics evaluates the overall acceptability of arguments. Consequently, it reveals the global loss incurred by each argument due to attacks. However, it does not say anything on the contribution of each attack to that loss. This paper introduces the novel concept of contribution measure which evaluates those contributions. It starts by defining a set of axioms that a reasonable measure would satisfy, then shows that the Shapley value is the unique measure that satisfies them. Finally, it investigates the properties of the latter under existing semantics.
Efficient Weighted Model Integration via SMT-Based Predicate Abstraction
Authors: Morettin Paolo , Passerini Andrea , Sebastiani Roberto
Published: July 2017

Weighted model integration (WMI) is a recent formalism generalizing weighted model counting (WMC) to run probabilistic inference over hybrid domains, characterized by both discrete and continuous variables and relationships between them. Albeit powerful, the original formulation of WMI suffers from some theoretical limitations, and it is computationally very demanding as it requires to explicitly enumerate all possible models to be integrated over. In this paper we present a novel general notion of WMI, which fixes the theoretical limitations and allows for exploiting the power of SMT-based predicate abstraction techniques. A novel algorithm combines a strong reduction in the number of models to be integrated over with their efficient enumeration. Experimental results on synthetic and real-world data show drastic computational improvements over the original WMI formulation as well as existing alternatives for hybrid inference.
Constraint Games revisited
Authors: Palmieri Anthony , Lallouet Arnaud
Published: July 2017

Constraint Games are a recent framework proposed to model and solve static games where Constraint Programming is used to express players preferences. In this paper, we rethink their solving technique in terms of constraint propagation by considering players preferences as global constraints. It yields not only a more elegant but also a more efficient framework. Our new complete solver is faster than previous state-of-the-art and is able to find all pure Nash equilibria for some problems with 200 players. We also show that performances can greatly be improved for graphical games, allowing some games with 2000 players to be solved.
Player Movement Models for Video Game Level Generation
Authors: Snodgrass Sam , Ontañón Santiago
Published: July 2017

The use of statistical and machine learning approaches, such as Markov chains, for procedural content generation (PCG) has been growing in recent years in the field of Game AI. However, there has been little work in learning to generate content, specifically levels, accounting for player movement within those levels. We are interested in extracting player models automatically from play traces and using those learned models, paired with a machine learning-based generator to create levels that allow the same types of movements observed in the play traces. We test our approach by generating levels for Super Mario Bros. We compare our results against the original levels, a previous constrained sampling approach, and a previous approach that learned a combined player and level model.
On the Computational Complexity of Gossip Protocols
Authors: Apt Krzysztof R. , Kopczyński Eryk , Wojtczak Dominik
Published: July 2017

Gossip protocols deal with a group of communicating agents, each holding a private information, and aim at arriving at a situation in which all the agents know each other secrets. Distributed epistemic gossip protocols are particularly simple distributed programs that use formulas from an epistemic logic. Recently, the implementability of these distributed protocols was established (which means that the evaluation of these formulas is decidable), and the problems of their partial correctness and termination were shown to be decidable, but their exact computational complexity was left open. We show that for any monotonic type of calls the implementability of a distributed epistemic gossip protocol is a P^{NP}_{||}-complete problem, while the problems of its partial correctness and termination are in coNP^{NP}.
Epistemic-entrenchment Characterization of Parikh’s Axiom
Authors: Aravanis Theofanis , Peppas Pavlos , Williams Mary-Anne
Published: July 2017

In this article, we provide the epistemic-entrenchment characterization of the weak version of Parikh’s relevance-sensitive axiom for belief revision — known as axiom (P) — for the general case of incomplete theories. Loosely speaking, axiom (P) states that, if a belief set K can be divided into two disjoint compartments, and the new information φ relates only to the first compartment, then the second compartment should not be affected by the revision of K by φ. The above-mentioned characterization, essentially, constitutes additional constraints on epistemic-entrenchment preorders, that induce AGM revision functions, satisfying the weak version of Parikh’s axiom (P).
Weakening Covert Networks by Minimizing Inverse Geodesic Length
Authors: Aziz Haris , Gaspers Serge , Najeebullah Kamran
Published: July 2017

We consider the problem of deleting nodes in a covert network to minimize its performance. The inverse geodesic length (IGL) is a well-known and widely used measure of network performance. It equals the sum of the inverse distances of all pairs of vertices. In the MinIGL problem the input is a graph $G$, a budget $k$, and a target IGL $T$, and the question is whether there exists a subset of vertices $X$ with $|X|=k$, such that the IGL of $G-X$ is at most $T$. In network analysis, the IGL is often used to evaluate how well heuristics perform in strengthening or weakening a network. In this paper, we undertake a study of the classical and parameterized complexity of the MinIGL problem. The problem is NP-complete even if $T=0$ and remains both NP-complete and $W[1]$-hard for parameter $k$ on bipartite and on split graphs. On the positive side, we design several multivariate algorithms for the problem. Our main result is an algorithm for MinIGL parameterized by the twin cover number.
