Demystifying the Negative René Girard’s Critique of the “Humanization of Nothingness”
Authors: Wilmes Andreas
Published: December 2019

This paper will address René Girard’s critique of the “humanization of nothingness” in modern Western philosophy. I will first explain how the “desire for death” is related to a phenomenon that Girard refers to as “obstacle addiction.” Second, I will point out how mankind’s desire for death and illusory will to self-divinization gradually tend to converge within the history of modern Western humanism. In particular, I will show how this convergence between self-destruction and self-divinization gradually takes shape through the evolution of the concept of “the negative” from Hegel to Kojève, Sartre and Camus. Finally, we shall come to see that in Girard’s view “the negative” has tended to become an ever-preoccupying and unacknowledged symptom of mankind’s addiction to “model/obstacles” of desire.

У даній статті розглянуті питання пов'язані з процесом замулення малих і середніх руслових водосховищ і вплив цього явища на родючість земель в зоні їх командування. Встановлено, що процес замулення малих і середніх руслових водосховищ досить складне явище і воно в основному залежить від режиму роботи водосховищ та гідрологічних, геоморфологічних, гідротехнічних та інших факторів гідровузлів. На основі багаторічних теоретичних і практичних досліджень розроблено конструктивно-технологічний захід по збереженню регулюючих ємностей малих і середніх руслових водосховищ і забезпечення скидання в нижній б'еф греблі зважених колоїдних наносів з розмірами d> 0, 05мм в період вегетації. При цьому обсяг скидання наносів в нижній б'еф греблі становить 60-80% від загального обсягу твердого стоку, що надходить у водосховище за один сезон, що в 2-3 рази збільшеє термін надійної і безпечної служби водосховища, а очікуване зростання врожайності сельхозкултур в зоні командування водосховища становить приблизно 6-8%.

One needs to consider the reality of Europe. Americans tend to think of Europe as a whole when considering it as a destination for a trip. But when they come, they observe that Europe remains a set of nations separated by linguistic and cultural barriers, and they feel a bit confused about the reality of a move toward an actual community. Some comments may enlighten this point. The present "pan-European" project was first carried out by a small group of people—indeed technocrats— who thought something had to be done to prevent a new conflict on the continent. The choice was made to first address economic issues through new forms of cooperation and eventually through setting up a free-trade area. At this stage (forty years later!), the European project is associated with a real political ambition. There is a consensus in Old European nations to go forward, although an obvious fear of this common future remains. For most educated citizens, and especially for young graduates, Europe appears more and more as a "new Frontier," as an outlook for new opportunities. In this context, mobility of students throughout Europe becomes a necessary step toward building a better future.

Published: December 2019

Pneumorrhacis is a condition marked by the presence of air in the spinal canal. We present a rare case of pneumorrachis of the cervical to thoracic canal associated with hemopneumothorax and flail chest with subcutaneous emphysema that recovered remarkably after shaft clipping surgery and chest tube insertion only. Pneumorrachis can resolve by itself with conservative management. A 45-year-old woman suffered from chest pain and shortness of breath after fell at the hotel swimming pool. Further examination revealed rhonchi on left lung auscultation and asymmetry respiratory pattern. Computed tomography of the chest proved the presence of multiple rib fractures 4-9 left side, hemopneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema. Accidentally, the CT showed intraspinal gas representing pneumorrachis extending from C6-T3. No neurologic deficit was found. She was treated conservative by supplemental oxygen only, no further neurological deterioration was detected. Follow up examination was uneventful and the symptoms resolved completely. Pneumorrachis was mostly found accidentally with a variety of underlying diseases, especially in the case of traumatic pneumothorax and fracture of the skull base. Pneumorrachis was managed conservatively and should be taken in attention in the presence of neurologic deficits.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Patients with urinary tract obstruction are often accompanied by urinary tract infections. In some cases, it develops into urosepsis that increases mortality. Early detection capability is essential. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of serum procalcitonin (PCT), nitrite urine (NU) and white blood cell (WBC) as urosepsis predictors in patients with urinary obstruction.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 36 samples carried out at our hospital using consecutive sampling technique from December 2016 to February 2017. Statistical analyses used were a bivariate test and multivariate test using Poisson regression.
Results: From the bivariate test analysis, serum PCT level of ≥0.25 ng/ml, positive result for NU, and a WBC amount of ≥12,000 cells/mm3 were predictors for urosepsis. In the multivariate test, we obtained a PCT serum level of ≥0.25 ng/ml, and WBC of ≥12,000 cells/mm3 were true predictors of urosepsis in patients with urinary tract obstructions with infections.
Conclusion: Serum PCT and WBC can be used as a predictor of urosepsis in patients with urinary tract obstruction.

Published: December 2019

This research is aimed at measuring whether the three books used in the secondary schools in Tegal i.e “Mandiri: Practise Your English Competence”, “Interactive English 2”, and “New Headway” are right or not, and revealing the strength and weaknesses of the three books based on the theories of excellent textbook developed by the researcher based on the Tomlinson’s (2003) framework. This research is evaluation research. The data were collected through observation, questionnaire, and document analysis. The data were analysed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's flow model of qualitative data research, which includes data collection, data reduction, data display, and giving the conclusion. The study found out that “Mandiri: Practise Your Sentence" meets only in language level criteria of excellent textbook, "Interactive English 2" all the five criteria, and "New Headway" meets three criterias. The research also found out that the strength of "Mandiri: Practise Your Sentence" relies on its language level, which is understandable and straightforward for the eighth graders. Its main weaknesses lie in the number of tests in every unit which does not cover all the skills learnt, and it does not have an excellent form of illustrations, all are too simple and uninteresting for the eighth graders. The strength of "Interactive English 2" lies in its colourful and attractive photos and cartoons that attract the students and its use of authentic text that is trendy in graphic design. Its main weakness lies in its focus on controlled practice. Meanwhile, the strength of "New Headway" comes from the attractive illustration and its use of communicative activities at the activities to make the students more creative and active in the classroom. But the main weakness lies in its sentences, which are too hard to understand for the eighth graders in Tegal.
Modelo de predição de desempenho de estações de tratamento de água de pequeno

Published: December 2019

As estações de tratamento de água (ETAs) têm um papel fundamental e estratégico no controle de doenças transmitidas pela água por meio da potabilização da água, para atender às necessidades da população que é abastecida por ela. Nesse contexto, a avaliação do desempenho dessas estações é primordial, particularmente para as entidades responsáveis pelo estágio de controle da qualidade da água, uma vez que a ETA deve apre- sentar e operar com condições mínimas necessárias para alcançar seu objetivo. Para o desenvolvimento dos modelos (Modelo 1 - com base na turbidez da água tratada e Modelo 2 - com base na cor aparente da água tratada) foram utilizados dados referentes à qualidade da água bruta e tratada, fatores operacionais e parâme- tros hidráulicos de 3 ETAs, com taxas de fluxo de 50 L.s-1 ou menos. Os modelos foram desenvolvidos usando a caixa de ferramentas do Matlab®, a partir da rede neural do tipo de camadas recorrentes, com função de ativação tansig e purelin. Como resultados, os modelos apresentaram coeficientes de determinação de 0,928 e 0,823 para turbidez e cor aparente da água tratada, respectivamente. Os resultados corroboram a aplicação da Inteligência Artificial em estações de tratamento de água, com o objetivo de otimizar processos e garantir uma maior operabilidade da ETAs, gerando um produto cada vez mais confiável.

Abstract
The water treatment plants (WTP) have a fundamental and strategic role in the control of waterborne diseases through the potabilization of water, to meet the needs of the population that is supplied by it. In this context, evaluating the performance of these stations is paramount, particularly for the entities responsible for the water quality control stage, since WTP must present and operate with minimum conditions necessary to achieve its ob- jective. For the development of the models (Model 1 - based on turbidity of treated water and Model 2 - based on the apparent color of the treated water) data were used referring to raw and treated water quality, operational factors and hydraulic parameters of 3 WTPs, with flow rates of 50 L.s-1 or less. The models were developed usingthe Matlab® toolbox, from the neural network of the recurrent layers type, with activation function tansig and purelin. As results, the models presented regression coefficients of 0.928 and 0.823 for turbidity and apparent color of treated water, respectively. The results corroborate for the application of Artificial Intelligence in water treatment plants, with a view to optimizing processes and guaranteeing greater WTPs operability, generating an increasingly reliable product.

Modelagem simplificada do fósforo total em lagos e reservatórios brasileiros
Authors: Toné Arthur , Lima Neto Iran
Published: December 2019

Resumo
O fósforo é considerado o principal fator responsável pela eutrofização de lagos e reservatórios. No presente estudo, utilizou-se um modelo transiente de mistura completa para analisar a dinâmica do fósforo em 40 lagos e reservatórios localizados nas regiões Nordeste, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Os resultados con- firmaram a dependência do coeficiente de decaimento de fósforo com o inverso da raiz quadrada do tempo de residência hidráulica. No entanto, em virtude da elevada temperatura da água dos lagos e reservatórios do Nordeste, esse coeficiente assumiu valores cerca de duas vezes superiores àqueles observados em regiões de clima tropical. Por outro lado, devido à alta variabilidade de temperatura dos lagos e reservatórios do Sudes- te, o coeficiente oscilou entre valores extremos observados em regiões de clima temperado e semiárido. Em virtude disso, propôs-se uma equação geral para calcular o coeficiente de decaimento de fósforo como uma função não apenas do tempo de residência hidráulica, mas também da temperatura da água. Após validação e análise de sensibilidade do modelo proposto, o mesmo foi aplicado a um reservatório hipotético sujeito a variações temporais de volume, vazão, carga e temperatura da água. Espera-se que este modelo simplificado possa auxiliar na gestão de lagos e reservatórios brasileiros.

Abstract
Phosphorus is considered the main factor responsible for eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs. In the present study, a transient complete mixing model was used to analyse phosphorus dynamics in 40 lakes and reservoirs located in the Northeast, Southeast and Central-West regions of Brazil. The results confirmed the dependence of the phosphorus decay coefficient on the inverse of the square root of the hydraulic residence time. However, due to the high-water temperature of the lakes and reservoirs of the Northeast, this coefficient assumed values about two times higher than those observed in regions of tropical climate. On the other hand, due to the high temperature variability of the lakes and reservoirs in the Southeast, the coefficient oscillated between extreme values observed in temperate and semiarid regions. As a result, a general equation was proposed to calculate the phosphorus decay coefficient as a function not only of the hydraulic residence time, but also of the water temperature. After valida- tion and sensitivity analysis of the proposed model, it was applied to a hypothetical reservoir subject to temporal variations of water volume, flow, load and temperature. This simple model will potentially assist in the management of Brazilian lakes and reservoirs.

RISIKO OPERASIONAL BANK DAN PERMODELANNYA
Authors: Lesmana Iwan
Published: December 2019

Managing bank’s operational risks becoming an important feature of sound risk management practice in modern financial markets. The most important types of operational risk involve breakdown in internal controls and corporate governance, which could lead to financial losses through fraud, error or failure to perform. Development of statistic has accelarated banks to create internal operational risk models in different ways. Although those models created in different ways, they surely use the pattern of risk management that is developed by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has proposed three increasingly sophisticated approaches of operational risk, i.e basic indicator approach, standardized approach and advanced measurement approach. Applying those approaches will help banks to eliminate the operational risk, that will lead them to a better intermediation process.

José Asunción Silva según Fernando Vallejo
Authors: Joset Jacques
Published: December 2019

En este artículo Jacques Joset presenta un detallado análisis sobre la biografía de José Asunción Silva aparecida en Almas en pena, chapolas negras (1995) de Fernando Vallejo. Joset estudia aquellos fragmentos que muestran y tienen relación con el conocido y polémico anticolombianismo que Vallejo manifiesta en muchos de sus escritos. De esta manera, la perspectiva con que retrata la vida de José Asunción Silva y la sociedad colombiana de la época coincide con muchas de las premisas ideológicas que el mismo Vallejo ha utilizado a lo largo de su obra. Jacques Joset se apoya en los aportes teóricos de Marc Angenot para mostrar las ambigüedades y las contradicciones recurrentes en el discurso del biógrafo: una Colombia construida desde una perspectiva fatalista y desesperanzada, en donde no existe espacio para una visión crítica que conduzca a evaluaciones menos pesimistas sobre la realidad del país. El artículo concluye con una interrogante que gira en torno a la necesidad de conocer mejor y matizar entre aquellos elementos que han propiciado las diferentes versiones sobre la realidad colombiana y su relación, en este caso, con la biografía de los escritores que forman parte de su legado literario y cultural.
Hacia una poética de la obsesión en Borges: formas e identidades rizomáticas
Authors: Richter David F.
Published: December 2019

En el trabajo presente se examina la poesía tardía del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges y la manera en que la obsesión con la identidad se manifiesta no solamente como un tema principal, sino también la manera en que esta obsesión se desdobla en preocupaciones tanto temporales como formales. A la vez, la obsesión con la identidad y el interés en cómo se constituye el yo afirma una identidad no estable y un yo que está en flujo continuo; lo que Deleuze y Guattari llaman una producción nómada y rizomática. El estudio de estas obsesiones de identidades y formas rizomáticas ofrece una nueva mirada hacia la poética borgeana como una metapoética de fugas. Al analizar la poesía de Borges dentro de tal esquema esquizoanalítico se puede comprobar y destacar las preocupaciones de identidad y cómo el desarrollo de tales obsesiones constituye la esencia indefinible y fugaz de la poética borgeana.
La articulación de la materia narrada en Las Sergas de Esplandián
Authors: González Eloy R. , González Eloy R.
Published: December 2019

La novela es uno de los vehículos artísticos que mejor han representado el pensar del ser humano a través del tiempo; de aquí el interés imperecedero en su desarrollo desde su génesis. Esto conllevará no sólo una evolución ideológica que dictará parámetros tanto con respecto al “contenido” como a las estrategias narrativas que siguen transmutándose. El mecanismo del cruce de historias revela cómo cambia de intención el mensaje de Montalvo al concluir el Amadís de Gaula con Las Sergas de Esplandián. El cambio ocurre al ver la narración como una gran orquestación sintética y simbólica del acontecer, en la que la casualidad de la aventura caballeresca es reemplazada por la causalidad del creyente.

La obra literaria más importante del editor de El Imparcial (Guaymas 1889-1910) es la obra de teatro Heroína. Publicada en 1897, resulta ser el primer libro de contenido literario publicado en Sonora. Heroína trata la invasión de Guaymas por el conde Gaston de Raousset Boulbon y su tropa de filibusteros franceses en 1854. Pérez Peña se empeña en una lucha de representación no tanto con los franceses sino con la prensa norteamericana -cuya visión romántica del conde le pareció equivocada- y también con la historiografía nacional, la que borró una serie de personajes de la historia local, entre ellos dos heroínas de la batalla de Guaymas: Loreta Encinas de Avilés y Guadalupe Cubillas.

En este interesante trabajo Diana Palaversich se vuelve a posicionar en la crítica literaria  como una autora de ideas polémicas. Su título parece indicarnos dos cosas: 1) un carácter medio entre lo académico y la moda actual de los jóvenes escritores y 2) nos trae de nueva cuenta al debate conceptual de la posmodernidad. Macondo nos sitúa en la tradición literaria garcíamarquiana, frecuentada una y otra vez por la crítica; McOndo nos brinda la posibilidad de reconocer la globalización, los medios de difusión y las nuevas formas estéticas originadas por los grupos de nuevos escritores que promueven la mcondización de la literatura. Entre estos dos primeros términos del título, Palaversich sitúa su obra como un texto clave para comprender la transformación estético-política que vive la realidad latinoamericana.

An Examination of Algebra for All through Historic Context and Statewide Assessment Data
Authors: Liang Jian-Hua , Heckman Paul E.
Published: December 2019

Since 2003, California has enacted a policy through its education accountability system that encourages schools and districts to place all 8th grade students into algebra courses and therefore, be tested in algebra in the statewide assessment program. Ten years later, there are a great many more 8th graders taking algebra now. However, there are also many students repeating algebra, instead of going on taking higher level mathematics tests. This article aims to provide the historic context of this policy, previous and recent studies on 8th grade algebra, and our study based on the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) data. We analyzed 8th grade algebra test-taking and the following years� higher level mathematics test-taking to examine the college preparation course taking pipeline. Our longitudinal study compared two groups of students� performance on 9th grade algebra between those who previously scored below proficient on algebra at 8th grade and those who scored proficient or above on general mathematics at 8th grade. Further, another longitudinal study linked 7th grade mathematics sub-scores to 8th grade algebra achievement. The results show that �algebra for all� policy increased the number of students taking algebra at 8th grade and subsequently, taking higher level mathematics tests. However, the pipeline of the college preparation course taking has a significant leak because the number of students taking higher level mathematics decreased dramatically after algebra. Longitudinal study shows that students who pass the general mathematics test at 8th grade have a 69% greater chance to pass the algebra test at 9th grade compared to their peers who failed the algebra test at 8th grade. We also find that the sub-score rational numbers is a strong predictor of 8th grade algebra achievement. Alternatives to help all students achieve in mathematics learning are also discussed in addition to recommendations for future research.

Based on fieldwork, interviews and ethno-graphic research of student teachers, reflectivity is revealed as an important starting point for teachers working with diverse and multilingual students. Reflecting assist individuals as they attempt to assimilate a new cultural complexity, particularly one that is as complex as a classroom full of adolescents. Reflexive practices are essen-tial to meet the learning needs in a multilingual, multicultural and global state. Ethnographic research can indeed provide a springboard into the development of reflective and reflexive educators.
Charter School Authorization: A Gateway to Excellence and Equity
Authors: Beard Karen Stansberry , Adeeko Omotayo
Published: December 2019

The lack of quality education many charter schools offer disproportionately and adversely impacts communities of color. This article considered two models of charter school governance in use by California and Ohio. The first model posits that a fundamental tenet of charter schools is freedom from the burdensome bureaucracy traditional public schools bear. Based on the argument that deregulation enables charter schools to employ more innovative instructional and management practices, it assumes higher achievement scores would follow. The second model proposes to address educational inequality by increasing accountability on charter school authorizers by increasing regulatory practices. These models example the variety of governance models extant. In addition, arguments supporting each model are presented. The authors conclude with a discussion that supports the position that while autonomy is essential to maintaining the original objectives of charter schools, states must hold authorizers accountable for student achievement.

Алгоритми багаторівневого навчання для вирішення задачі класифікації захворювань шкіри.
Authors: Акимов В.
Published: December 2019

Захворювання шкіри сьогодні належать до розповсюджених медичних проблем. Кількість таких захворювань постійно зростає, незважаючи на розвиток медичної галузі. Рак шкіри є поширеним злоякісним новоутворенням і займає друге рангове місце у структурі онкологічної захворюваності населення України. Первинна діагностика таких хвороб здійснюється візуально, починаючи з клінічних обстежень, що можуть супроводжуватись дерматоскопічним аналізом, біопсією та гістопатологічною експертизою. У роботі виконано аналіз існуючих наукових публікацій щодо класифікації захворювань шкіри при використанні згорткових нейронних мереж, який показав, що на сьогодні існує незначна кількість публікацій з використанням глибокого навчання. Результати існуючих досліджень не містять достатнього рівня точності і результативності щодо класифікації захворювань шкіри, що підтверджує необхідність розробки нових згорткових нейронних мереж і їх подальших досліджень. Тому у роботі запропоновано технічне рішення щодо побудови згорткової нейронної мережі для класифікації захворювань шкіри.
