VOLATILIDADE CAMBIAL, EXPECTATIVAS E INFLAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE PARA A ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA NO PERÍODO 2001-2017 USANDO A ABORDAGEM SVAR
Authors: Leite Karla Vanessa B. S. , Pimentel Débora Mesquita
Published: November 2021

RESUMO O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar empiricamente a relação entre volatilidade cambial e expectativas de inflação utilizando a abordagem SVAR. A hipótese defendida, a partir da perspectiva teórica baseada no desenvolvimento de Keynes para a formação de preços e inflação, é que a volatilidade cambial, amplificada pela liberalização financeira, afeta as expectativas de inflação pela via dos custos de produção, já que a taxa de câmbio é um elemento importante na formação de tais custos. Os resultados, nos dois modelos, foram ao encontro do enunciado na hipótese, tendo em vista que, em algum grau, a variação da taxa de câmbio, especialmente em períodos de desvalorização, exerceu influências sobre as expectativas inflacionárias e, por consequência, sobre a trajetória da inflação.
Análise tecnológica e multisetorial das práticas de inteligência competitiva utilizadas pelas organizações brasileiras
Authors: Oliveira Paulo Henrique de , Gonçalves Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2021

RESUMO Como ocorre a trajetória da Ciência, assim como de que a partir de um estudo quantitativo realizado com profissionais de inteligência de 66 organizações brasileiras pertencentes a alguns dos principais setores econômicos do país, constatou-se que nem todas as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) consideradas como importantes por eles são efetivamente utilizadas nas atividades de elaboração e disseminação dos produtos de inteligência demandados pelos tomadores de decisões estratégicas, com exceção da internet. A dispersão encontrada quanto às demais TICs pode estar associada a diversos fatores, com especial destaque para: porte e natureza do setor industrial das organizações pesquisadas, disponibilidade das TICs nas respectivas organizações, tipos de produtos de inteligência demandados e prazo de entrega dos mesmos, além do nível de conhecimento, preferências pessoais e características das atividades de inteligência executadas. Os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação online de um questionário estruturado aos respectivos profissionais e analisados com ajuda das técnicas da estatística descritiva.

Published: November 2021

RESUMO As práticas de gestão organizacional precisam se adequar às exigências de eficiência e constante atualização tecnológica,não sendo diferente na Gestão Universitária, e a Gestão de Processos de Negócio contribui para que essa adequação seja alcançada.Este artigo destina-se a apresentar a modelagem de um Escritório de Gerenciamento de Processos (EGP)para um campus de uma universidade federal brasileira. Para isso, realizaram-se coletas de dados por meio de um questionário com o gestor de um EGP externo, de uma entrevista estruturada com um gestor-chave interno e de análise de documentos da gestão universitária. Os sujeitos participantes foram escolhidos por conveniência e os dados foram analisados qualitativamente, de forma a se descreverem impressões, opiniões e históricos referentes ao tema central, e ainda para embasar o processo de modelagem do escritório, levando em consideração detalhes presentes nos documentos de gestão.Por fim, obtiveram-se os modelos dos processos que embasam o EGP utilizando a notação padrão para modelagem de processos de negócios, com apoio de um software especializado. Destaca-se que o processo de implantação de um EGP não é algo a ser executado a curto prazo, uma vez que envolve gestão de mudanças (na estrutura e na cultura organizacional) e diversas tramitações burocráticas.

Territórios pouco explorados: o estudo dos registros de visitantes em livros de comentários de dois museus de ciências brasileiros
Authors: Santos Karlla Kamylla Passos dos , Rocha Jessica Norberto
Published: November 2021

RESUMO Neste trabalho, de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, estudamos os livros de comentários de dois museus e centros de ciências brasileiros - a Casa da Ciência da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e o Museu Ciência e Vida da Fundação Centro de Ciências e Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - a fim de compreender e explorar seu potencial para coletar dados sobre a opinião dos públicos. Ao todo coletamos 1.724 comentários de 10 livros, do período de 2011 a 2018. Para exploração e análise, adotamos a análise de conteúdo, bem como um protocolo que divide os comentários em: pré-ativo, ativo e proativo. Nos interessou analisar os comentários apontados como ativos e proativos, totalizando em 1.512 registros, organizados nas seguintes categorias: acessibilidade; afetividade; ciência e aprendizagem; equipe; exposição; infraestrutura; papel dos espaços museológicos na sociedade.A multiplicidade de fatores que puderam ser elencados ao estudarmos os livros de comentários, nos permite afirmar que eles são uma rica fonte de informação a respeito dos públicos que frequentam os museus e suas demandas. Contudo, eles ainda são territórios pouco explorados, tanto nas instituições museais, quanto em áreas acadêmicas, e esses registros não podem ser silenciados e esquecidos.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the changes in the body composition and swallowing of an older-people group from a community-based speech therapy and nutrition program. Methods: a pre-experimental study of a single group was carried out, with prospective timing and pre-post evaluation for three months. The Body Mass Index (BMI), percentage of body fat (%BF), percentage of muscle mass (%MM), percentage of visceral fat (%VF), swallowing performance, and Swallowing Quality of Life (Swall-QoL) were evaluated. The Spearman correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney U test were used, significance level p<0.05. Results: 13 older people participated in the study. The average age of the group was 73.8 years (SD= 4.6). The BMI (pre=28.17; post=28.38), %BF (pre=38.5; post=38.7), %MM (pre=24.8; post=24.9) and %VF (pre=14.3; post=14.8) did not present significant differences (p>0.05). The scores obtained in the deglutition test was pre=19.15 and post=18.9. An association between BMI and VF (Rho=0.74; p=0.02) was detected. Conclusion: the program represented a community-based instance of health promotion focus on oral feeding of older people.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the associations between speech-language-hearing diagnostic hypotheses in children and adolescents and the Environmental Factors in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Methods: an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study carried out between 2016 and 2019 in an outpatient center with 5- to 16-year-old children and adolescents undergoing speech-language-hearing assessment and their parents/guardians. The Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria was used, and sociodemographic data were collected, along with speech-language-hearing diagnostic hypotheses and information on the presence of categories of the Environmental Factors, qualified as either barriers or facilitators. Descriptive and association analyses were made, using Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests, with the significance level set at 0.05. Results: most participants had changes in oral language acquisition/development, written language, and oral-motor function. The most prevalent facilitators were in the categories of Services, Systems, and Policies; Support and Relationships; and Products and Technology, whereas the barriers were in the categories of Attitudes; Products and Technology; and Services, Systems, and Policies. The diagnostic hypotheses of “Change in cognitive aspects of language”, “Change in speech”, and “Change in voice” had a significant association with the codes present in chapters 3 - Support and Relationships, and 4 - Attitudes. Conclusion: this association shows that patients with communication changes need a comprehensive approach encompassing the Contextual Factors.
CONSTRUÇÃO DE DEFINIÇÕES OPERACIONAIS EM METACOGNIÇÃO
Authors: Peixoto Mauricio Abreu Pinto , Brandão Marcos Antônio Gomes , Tavares Bruno Fragoso
Published: November 2021

RESUMO Desde a década de 70 a metacognição vem sendo entendida como “conhecimento e cognição sobre fenômenos cognitivos”. Sua conceituação, apesar disso, ainda se apresenta inespecífica, a maioria dos pesquisadores tende a negligenciar o estabelecimento de definições mais precisas sobre a metacognição. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa, com enviesamento intencional orientado para a produção de definições operacionais aplicáveis ao processo de aprendizagem, de modo a permitir operar as ações de descrição, discriminação entre os diferentes fenômenos metacognitivos, sua classificação e interpretação de significados. A taxonomia aqui apresentada consta de 03 domínios (Habilidade, Experiência e Conhecimento Metacognitivos), trazendo 36 definições operacionais de termos metacognitivos.
Práticas de prazer na escrita de autoras brasileiras contemporâneas
Authors: Beal Sophia
Published: November 2021

Resumo Mulheres (tanto cis quanto transgênero) experimentam, muitas vezes, inquietações em torno do prazer corporal devido a repressões e a dinâmicas hegemônicas de poder. As expectativas patriarcais, autoritárias, machistas, coloniais e capitalistas sobre os valores, os papéis e os “lugares” sociais das mulheres contribuem para o estabelecimento desse incômodo. Assim, o conforto de uma mulher com seu próprio corpo e a satisfação de suas necessidades e seus desejos - o que chamo aqui de práticas de prazer - são atos políticos, curativos e libertadores que afrontam normas sociais, particularmente para mulheres com identidades interseccionais e marginalizadas. Baseando-se na teoria do erótico, de Audre Lorde, e no conceito do “direito ao devaneio”, de Tatiana Nascimento, defendo que a prosa e a poesia de escritoras brasileiras LGBTQI+ e/ou negras, publicadas nos últimos cinco anos (desde 2016), atentam para a validação de uma ampla gama de práticas de prazer. Entre essas autoras, encontram-se Carol Bensimon, Cristiane Sobral, Katiana Souto, Kika Sena, Nanda Fer Pimenta, Piera Schnaider e Tatiana Nascimento. Embora as mulheres estejam usando a escrita criativa para afirmação de práticas de prazer há muito tempo, cada nova geração contribui de modo mais acentuado para esse esforço, reiterando que ainda há muito trabalho a ser feito e expandindo as concepções de prazer corporal para além de normas hetero, cis, eurocêntricas e monogâmicas.
Simulating the role of transportation infrastructure for community disaster recovery
Authors: Blagojević Nikola , Didier Max , Stojadinović Božidar
Published: November 2021

Functional recovery of transportation infrastructure after a disaster is essential for community disaster resilience, as the recovery of damaged community components depends on their accessibility for repair. This paper presents a community disaster recovery simulation that accounts for community components' accessibility for repair using a demand–supply framework. The considered components of a community are viewed as suppliers and/or users of various resources and services essential for community functionality, reflected in components’ supply and demand properties. Whenever the demand of a component is not met, that component ceases to operate, simulating interdependency effects. Similarly, recovery demand is attributed to damaged components, representing the amounts of resources and services (e.g. workers, machinery and transportation services) that these components need to recover. The proposed framework is illustrated on a virtual community with 3600 inhabitants supported by several interdependent infrastructure systems. The results show that the transportation network damage slows down the recovery of the virtual community by preventing access to damaged components and reducing the ability of the community to mobilise available repair resources. Furthermore, the effect of such prolonged transportation system recovery on the damage-free infrastructure systems whose functionality was decreased due to their dependency on the affected infrastructure systems, is quantified.

El artículo describe la aplicación y adaptación de los principios centrales del Programa Leer para Aprender (LPA) para el diseño de un proyecto orientado al desarrollo de la escritura clínica en el área de Fonoaudiología en una universidad tradicional chilena. El artículo describe los principios centrales de LPA, organizados en dos ámbitos: diseño estratégico y diseño teórico-didáctico. Se revisan los desarrollos conceptuales más recientes para ambos dominios, con foco específico en la recontextualización de conceptos propios de la teoría lingüística sistémico funcional (LSF) en la metodología LPA. Luego se describe cómo estos principios fueron adoptados y adaptados para el diseño del proyecto en cuestión. Se revisan las tres etapas del proyecto: i) identificación de las necesidades de escritura de los estudiantes, ii) diseño y aplicación de la intervención basada en principios del Programa Leer para Aprender y iii) evaluación del impacto de la intervención. En cada una se presentan las adaptaciones realizadas. El artículo busca ofrecer una alternativa de uso de la metodología LPA en contextos institucionales en los cuales una aplicación extendida y profunda de esta es incompatible con las condiciones materiales de la institución, y hacer evidente los principios teóricos centrales para lograr resultados positivos en el proceso.

Clonorchis Sinensis is an important foodborne pathogen. It is actively transmitted in far-East countries and Asia, especially in China. It enters the biliary system via ingestion of infected cysts. It is exceedingly rare to encounter such a presentation in the Middle East, particular in Kuwait. The presence of liver fluke in the biliary system may lead to adverse complications. We are presenting a case report describing quite an unusual gallbladder finding in a 55-year-old Chinese lady.

Choledochal cysts in adults are rare congenital abnormalities. Approximately 80% are found in childhood. Thus, their presentation in adults is always associated with complications, such as stone formation, inflammation and malignancies. The pathophysiology of this disease is yet uncertain. There are different types of choledochal cysts. Diagnosis can be challenging clinically; however, imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and computed tomography (CT), can be helpful. We found several procedures performed in the extant literature, such as choledochoduodenostomy and choledochojejunostomy submucosal excision of the cyst; however, the best surgical option is excision with hepaticojejunostomy. We discuss the unusual presentation of a 33-year-old female patient with an obstructed choledochal cyst, despite having undergone a drainage procedure in childhood.

Coexistence of the Three Trophic Levels in a Model with Intraguild Predation and Intraspecific Competition of Prey
Authors: Giricheva Evgeniya
Published: November 2021

The model of a three-trophic community with intraguild predation is considered. The system consists of three coupled ordinary differential equations describing the dynamics of resource, prey and predator. Models with intraguild predation are characterized by predators that feed on resource of its own prey. A number of similar models with different functional responses have been proposed. In contrast to previous works, in the present model, the predator functional response to the resource is differed from that to the prey. The model takes into account an intraspecific competition of prey to stabilize the system in resource-rich environment. Conditions of existence and local stability of non-negative solutions are established. The possibility of Hopf bifurcation around positive equilibrium with consumption rate as bifurcation parameter is studied. For the model, in the plane of the consumption and predation rates, the regions of existence and stability of boundary and internal equilibria are constructed. Numerical simulations show that the region of equilibrium coexistence of populations is increased due to the inclusion of prey self-limitation in the model. Bifurcation diagrams confirm the stabilizing effect of intraspecific competition of prey on the system dynamics in resource-rich environment.

Published: November 2021

Learning via mobile phone is very common nowadays, whether at the primary or tertiary stage. The use of mobile phones is causing growing concern among the general public. Improving online education, primarily via this device, is also one of the government’s most pressing needs. Most current research on mobile learning applications pays little attention to multimedia principles, especially the Signalling principle, to improve user interaction. As a result, this project is undertaken to suggest better and more efficient mobile learning applications. The model is developed in collaboration with various stakeholders, including content experts, HCI experts, actual users, and a thorough literature review. Creating these mobile learning design guidelines is anticipated to lead to a more efficient and successful mobile learning style. According to the results of the experiments, implementing the hybridised guidelines resulted in a significant increase in Asmaul Husna Islamic knowledge among university students.
Interrelated Decision-Making Model for Diabetes

Published: November 2021

Diabetes is one of the growing chronic diseases. Proper treatment is needed to produce its effects. Past studies have proposed an Interrelated Decision-making Model (IDM) as an intelligent decision support system (IDSS) solution for healthcare. This model can provide accurate results in determining the treatment of a particular patient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a diabetic IDM to see the increased decision-making accuracy with the IDM concept. The IDM concept allows the amount of data to increase with the addition of data records at the same level of care, and the addition of data records and attributes from the previous or subsequent levels of care. The more data or information, the more accurate a decision can be made. Data were developed to make diagnostic predictions for each stage of care in the development of type 2 diabetes. The development of data for each stage of care was confirmed by specialists. However, the experiments were performed using simulation data for two stages of care only. Four data sets of different sizes were provided to view changes in forecast accuracy. Each data set contained 2 data sets of primary care level and secondary care level with 4 times the change of the number of attributes from 25 to 58 and the number of records from 300 to 11,000. Data were developed to predict the level of diabetes confirmed by specialist doctors. The experimental results showed that on average, the J48 algorithm showed the best model (99%) followed by Logistics (98%), RandomTree (95%), NaiveBayes Updateable (93%), BayesNet (84%) and AdaBoostM1 (67%). Ratio analysis also showed that the accuracy of the forecast model has increased up to 49%. The MAPKB model for the care of diabetes is designed with data change criteria dynamically and is able to develop the latest dynamic prediction models effectively.v

Published: November 2021

First-principle calculations of the structure and electronic properties of four new polymorphic varieties of graphene-like boron nitride, the structure of which is similar to the structure of graphene polymorphs, the atoms in which are in the spirit of different structural positions, were performed by the density functional theory method in the generalized gradient approximation. As a result of the studies carried out, the possibility of stable existence of three monoatomic boron nitride layers: BN-L4-6-8a, BN-L4-6-8b and BN-L4-10 has been established. The BN-L4-12 layer is transformed into the BN-L4-6-8 layer during geometric optimization. The lengths of interatomic bonds in boron nitride monolayers vary in the range 1.4353 Å ÷ 1.4864 Å, and the bond angles in the range 84.05° ÷ 152.26°. The band gap of the BN layers varies from 3.16 eV to 3.90 eV. Sublimation energies are in the range from 16.67 eV/(BN) to 17.61 eV/(BN).

Published: November 2021

Introduction. The dependence of autonomous motivation of teachers on the principal’s leadership style was previously considered on the basis of the concept of transformational leadership by B. Bass, whereas its relationship with the styles described in the concept of K. Levin is understudied. The mediators of relations between leadership styles and teachers’ motivation are not sufficiently studied. According to the self-determination theory, such mediators can include psychological climate.

Aim. The aim of the current research was to develop an integrative concept of leadership styles by K. Lewin and the theory of self-determination by E. Deci and R. Ryan model of dependence of teachers’ professional motivation and work engagement on the principal’s leadership styles. An additional task was to analyse the mediating role of the psychological climate of the school staff.

Methodology and research methods. The correlational research was realised with the sample comprising 238 secondary school teachers in Biysk. The participants answered the Professional Motivation Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Style of Leadership Questionnaire and Group Atmosphere Scale. During processing of obtained data the authors used correlation analysis, t-tests for comparison of means and structural equation modelling.

Results. The elaborated structural model demonstrates that the democratic leadership style of the school principal is positively related to the autonomous motivation of teachers directly and indirectly through the psychological climate. The principal’s liberal leadership style is inversely related to teachers’ work engagement. In terms of self-determination theory, these results reflect different opportunities to meet the basic psychological needs of employees in teams with different psychological climate and principal’s leadership style.

Scientific novelty includes elaborated model describing the relationship of principals’ leadership styles according to K. Lewin’s typology with autonomous motivation and work engagement of teachers. The revealed effect of partial mediation of relations between democratic leadership style and autonomous motivation of teachers through psychological climate clarifies the ideas about the system of socio-psychological factors of professional motivation.

Practical significance consists in usage of the results for improvement of psychological training of principals, optimisation of their leadership style for creating better psychological atmosphere and support for teachers’ productive motivation.
A study of fouling control in heat exchangers with electronic anti-fouling technology
Authors:   , Choi Byung Gab , Cho Young I.
Published: November 2021

The objective of the present study was to investigate the validity of an electronic anti-fouling (EAF) technology, an innovative technique to mitigate precipitation fouling in a heat exchanger. The EAF technology precipitates dissolved ions into insoluble crystals. In order to accelerate this precipitation, the EAF technology utilizes a solenoid-induced molecular agitation. The present study examined the parameters which influence the induced electric field created by time-varying current signal in a solenoid and the effect of fouling parameters on the EAF treatment. The general fouling data in the present study were obtained from shell-and-tube heat exchanger operating in a once-though counter flow system. Three parameters were varied, which include flow velocity, concentration of CaCO3, and temperature. Effects of these parameters were examined in terms of the fouling resistance. In order to investigate the validity of EAF technology, a series of tests were conducted in a single shell-and-tube heat exchanger by changing concentration, velocity, and temperature with and without the EAF treatment. To check the validity of the EAF treatment in a plate-and-frame heat exchanger (Alfa Laval M3) whose thermal performance was very sensitive to fouling, harsh fouling tests were also carried out in recirculation and once-through system.
Possibilities and limitations of the use of beta-blockers in patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Karoli N. A. , Rebrov A. P.
Published: November 2021

In medical literature, increasing attention is paid to comorbidities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In clinical practice, physicians often hesitate to prescribe beta-blockers (β1-adrenoblockers) to COPD patients. This article summarized new results of using beta-blockers in patients with COPD. According to reports, the selective β1-blocker treatment considerably increases the survival rate of patients with COPD and ischemic heart disease, particularly after myocardial infarction (MI), and with chronic heart failure (CHF). The benefit of administering selective β1-blockers to patients with CHF and/or a history of MI overweighs a potential risk related with the treatment even in patients with severe COPD. Convincing data in favor of the β1-blocker treatment in COPD patients without the above-mentioned comorbidities are not available. At present, the selective β1-blocker treatment is considered safe for patients with cardiovascular diseases and COPD. For this reason, selective β1-blockers, such as bisoprolol, metoprolol or nebivolol can be used in managing this patient cohort. Nonselective β1-blockers may induce bronchospasm and are not recommended for COPD patients. For the treatment with β-blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, the probability of bronchial obstruction in COPD patients is lower; however, drugs of this pharmaceutical group have not been compared with cardioselective beta-blockers. For safety reasons, the beta-blocker treatment should be started outside exacerbation of COPD and from a small dose. Careful monitoring is recommended for possible new symptoms, such as emergence/increase of shortness of breath, cough or changes in dosing of other drugs (for example, increased frequency of using short-acting bronchodilators).

Foi constatado que fatores de raça e genero impactam significativamente a populaçao trabalhadora, tendo a mulher negra como a mais vulnerável em questoes de carreira, remuneraçao e estabilidade, mesmo quando alcança posiçoes de chefia. Além disso, o estudo mostrou que homens e mulheres negros estao em posiçao desfavorável quando comparados a mulheres e homens brancos, o que indica a cor da pele como fator mais relevante que o sexo na produçao e reproduçao dessas desigualdades. Diante disso, conhecer essas assimetrias sociais, que envolvem diretamente os trabalhadores brasileiros, contribui para um maior entendimento da realidade atual e da necessidade de se propor soluçoes interseccionais no Brasil.
Terapia fotodynamiczna – znaczenie w onkologii
Authors: Mossakowska Beata , Fabisiewicz Anna , Siedlecki Janusz
Published: November 2021

Terapia fotodynamiczna (ang. photodynamic therapy, PDT) jest jedną z najmniej toksycznych metod walki z rakiem. Podany pacjentowi fotouczulacz (ang. photosensitizer, PS) akumuluje się w tkance guza, gdzie pod wpływem światła o odpowiedniej długości fali i intensywności dochodzi do jego aktywacji. Aktywowany PS w obecności tlenu prowadzi do powstania reaktywnych form tlenu (ang. reactive oxygen species, ROS), które powodują liczne uszkodzenia.  Powstałe nieodwracalne uszkodzenia prowadzą do śmierci komórek poprzez mechanizm apoptozy, nekrozy lub autofagii. Ponadto w wyniku PDT dochodzi do zapoczątkowania ostrej lokalnej reakcji zapalnej, która bierze udział w usuwaniu martwych komórek, przywróceniu normalnej homeostazy tkanek, a czasami i w rozwinięciu odporności ogólnoustrojowej. Jednak część komórek nowotworowych może przeżyć terapię i zmienić swój fenotyp, prowadząc do pojawienia się oporności. W ochronę przed cytotoksycznym efektem PDT mogą być zaangażowane mechanizmy prowadzące do obniżenia poziomu fotouczulacza w komórkach, zwiększone zdolności antyoksydacyjne, nadekspresja białek opiekuńczych czy aktywacja ścieżek sygnałowych sprzyjających przeżyciu.

Published: November 2021

A wide-ranging of distribution environments could affect designing packages. The first step in the proper packaging design of agricultural products, particularly fruit, is to conduct a precise simulation of the truck transport. Thus, this research was conducted to analyze the vibration levels for truck transport using multi-sensor-based computing on packaged fruit in Iran (the first), one of the leading agriculture in Middle East Asia. Towards this goal, a wireless sensor network made of three sensor nodes with tri-axial accelerometers was designed to measure the vibration levels for truck transport at three package locations equipped with leaf-spring suspension in local and highway roads. To measure the vibration data a power spectral density function (PSD) levels were applied. Compared to the International Standards (ASTM 4728: West Conshohocken, USA, ISTA: Chicago, USA), the PSD levels of the truck in both roads types were higher in 1 to 35 Hz, and lower in 35 to 200 Hz. In particular, the differences in directional vibration levels were more pronounced in the low-frequency range of 10 Hz in both road types. The highest amount of truck bed acceleration occurred in the packages located at the rear end of the trucks. And, the peak PSD values were obtained as equal to 0.178 G2/Hz (rear-up), 0.136 G2/Hz (rear-down), and 0.096 G2/Hz (front-up) locations, respectively. Meanwhile, the road quality had affected the vibration levels in such a way that the peak PSD value obtained on highways was lower than that of the ones of the local roads. According to the results, the amount of acceleration on the heavy truck beds on the country’s roads can be considered 0.654 G. In sum, the current results can be used to simulate the truck transport conditions by programmable vibration simulators to reproduce the vibrationconditions for package testing in Iran roads. And, the findings are of high interest to improve packaging design, reduce fruit damage, maintain shelf life, smart transportation, and related industries.

О необходимости учёта влияния параметров надёжности строительной системы на её производительность (на примере процесса производства земляных работ экскаваторным комплектом)
Authors: Панченко Н.М.
Published: November 2021

В последние десятилетия в области строительства активно внедряются средства механизации и автоматизации, но благодаря этому не всегда удаётся повысить эффективность строительного производства. Каждый комплексный строительный процесс сложен, элементы, из которых он состоит, имеют строго определённую соподчинённость и последовательность. Изменение производительности в одном из составляющих процесса приводит обычно к изменению производительности всего комплексного процесса в целом. Отсутствие необходимых методологических разработок не позволяет достоверно оценивать фактическое состояние интенсификации используемых процессов. Данная статья освещает вопросы разработки методологии выявления и учёта влияния технологических, человеческих и технических параметров надёжности на производительность строительных систем.
Третий пояс в солнечной системе и его первые открытые объекты
Authors: Плеханов П.Г.
Published: November 2021

В строении Солнечной системы автором рассматриваются две подсистемы «группа-пояс»: подсистема «внутренняя группа планет - пояс астероидов» и подсистема «внешняя группа планет - пояс Койпера», которые формировались в протопланетном диске. В рамках развития гипотезы О.Ю. Шмидта и исследования подсистем обосновывается предположение существования за пределами пояса Койпера третьей подсистемы «группа разряженных поясов – третий пояс», которая формировалась за пределами протопланетного диска. Рассматривается наблюдаемая закономерность увеличения расстояний главного пояса и пояса Койпера в соотношении равном постоянному числу двадцать. Получено расстояние третьего пояса, которое согласно постоянной больше расстояния пояса Койпера в двадцать раз и равно 1000 а.е. и Седна «V774104» является его первым открытым удаленным объектом. Существование группы разряженных поясов подтвердили «Вояджеры», которые находятся в ее первом поясе. Получена модель гармоничного строения всей Солнечной системы и новые параметры ее окраины.

Authors: Бочков П.В.
Published: November 2021

Статья посвящена истории возникновения и деятельности околоправославной религиозной группы под руководством бывшего клирика Русской Православной Церкви священника Александра Кожевникова. Псевдоправославная апокалиптика и особое псевдодуховное состояние, заставившее последователей Кожевникова удалиться от общества, привели членов группу к сектантскому вырождению и очевидному социальному и духовному регрессу.
