Authors: Gungl Ernest , Brezočnik Zmago
Published: August 2020

A pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurized air through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard called a manual. It is constructed from settled groups of pipes. Each group is composed of similar pipes with the same tone colour and loudness but different pitch. Such a group is called a rank. We have developed two electronic devices for upgrading the organ. The first device named Controller of Register Combinations is intended for storing rank combinations and pipe organ controlling. The second device named Controller of Tone Keys for pipe organ allows users to play the organ simultaneously on two separate keyboards. In this paper, we represent the purpose, scheme, and our realization of both devices. The correct functioning of the devices was proved by integrating them into a church organ. We have already equipped several church organs with our electronics, and they all work flawlessly. Feedback from the organists is excellent, as both Controller of Register Combination and Controller of Tone Keys make it easier for them to play. The success so far and the positive responses of the organists have encouraged us already to plan further improvements and upgrades of the organ electronics.
Testing the Regulator's Priorities
Authors: Peake Lachlan
Published: August 2020

As Australian corporate conduct came under intense and highly publicised scrutiny during the banking Royal Commission, so too did the conduct of the conduct regulator: the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ASIC’). Following the Royal Commission, the regulator has adopted what it describes as ‘“Why not litigate?” operational discipline’ — a concept elaborated and recommended by Commissioner Hayne which is now the central tenet of ASIC’s updated enforcement model. This article discusses the hierarchy of strategic priorities evident in that enforcement model and asks: should the regulator focus its resources on compensating those harmed by regulatory contraventions rather than sanctioning those who have broken the law?
Antithrombotic regimens in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary endarterectomy
Authors: Kyuchukov Dimitar , Zheleva-Kyuchukova Ivayla , Nachev Gencho
Published: August 2020

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard in the treatment of complex chronic forms of coronary heart disease (CHD). Coronary endarterectomy (CEAE) is a useful adjunctive technique to CABG in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease. In order to maintain the patency of the coronary arteries and graft conduits, various antithrombotic protocols have been introduced over the years, combining various antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, but still there is no consensus.

Aim: The aim of the study is to compare results between two antithrombotic regimens after CEAE. The first one is a combination of acenocoumarol combined with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), the second regimen is a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) of clopidogrel combined with ASA.

Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 56 consecutive patients (60 ± 8.2 years) undergoing isolated CABG in association with CEAE between January 2018 and December 2019. In the postoperative period, patients were divided into two groups according to the antithrombotic regimens described above. Twenty-four were in the ASA and acenocoumarol group (AA) and 32 were in the ASA and clopidogrel group (AC). Patients were followed up to 30 days after the operation and we access the mortality rate, new ECG changes, levels of myocardial fraction of creatinine phosphokinase (CPK-MB), left ventricular systolic function, pericardial or pleural effusions requiring drainage or revision for bleeding.

Results: Operative mortality was 3,6 %. No differences in the antithrombotic efficacy of the two regimens. A significantly higher level of hemorrhagic complications was observed in the ASA + acenocoumarol treatment group.

Conclusion: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after CABG and coronary endarterectomy is an effective pharmacological regimen in regard to 30-day postoperative outcomes and is considerably safety in terms of bleeding complications.
Traditional Frameworks of Well-Being and Modern Science
Authors: Mohan Ganesh
Published: August 2020

This chapter describes how to connect traditional frameworks from yoga to modern science and systems theory in a way that is evidence-based, clinically testable, inclusive, and extensible. This way of systematization enables leveraging the evidence for yoga from across the spectrum of well-being modalities. The key in the presentation is the choice of an approach that is equally valid for both ancient and modern systems. The authors begin by examining the importance of a skill-based approach and layout how well-being systems can be built by mapping the skills and qualities of the organism. They take a selection of domains or categories under which skills from traditional and modern sources can be analyzed: attention, transcendence, movement, breathing, devotion, cognition, and emotion. They conclude the chapter by presenting a larger map of well-being that includes more domains arranged from a clinical perspective.
Selection of Suitable Control Parameters for Proper High-Resolution Deposition Performance of E-Jet Microfabrication Process
Authors: Das Raju , Roy Shibendu Shekhar
Published: August 2020

E-jet is a high-resolution microfabrication technology. Its operation depends on several process control parameters like applied voltage, flow rate of the material, stand-off height, type of ink material. High-resolution deposition along with high ejection frequency is the performance parameter of E-jet. In the present study, an attempt is made to design the process parameters in such a way that it could simultaneously satisfy both the performance characteristics of the E-jet process. A Taguchi robust design-based utility concept is applied to optimize the multi-response E-jet process through a case study. The optimization result is compared with another multi-objective optimization method called Grey relational grade analysis. The comparative analysis showed that both the methodologies identified the same process parameter combination for improved E-jet performance. Analysis of variance found applied voltage is the most influential control factor in the investigated region. The anticipated improvement in performance shows the successful implementation of the aforesaid methodology.
O TERRITÓRIO DA VITICULTURA ORGÂNICA NO TERRITÓRIO DA VITIVINICULTURA DA “SERRA GAÚCHA”: O CASO DOS VITICULTORES DE COTIPORÃ/RS
Authors: Pierozan Vinício Luís
Published: August 2020

A uva é a principal fruta cultivada no sistema orgânico no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, tendo sua produção concentrada na região da Serra Gaúcha, território vitivinícola consolidado em nível estadual e nacional formado a partir de um processo socioeconômico histórico que teve início com a colonização do espaço geográfico pelo colono italiano. A viticultura realizada na Serra Gaúcha possui várias particularidades como, por exemplo, a pequena propriedade, a pouca mecanização devido ao relevo acidentado e principalmente à utilização de mão de obra familiar. Este estudo analisou o desenvolvimento da viticultura orgânica praticada no município de Cotiporã, localizado na região serrana do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O município se constitui num território voltado para a produção de uva convencional presente no interior do território vitivinícola da Serra Gaúcha. A maior parte da uva produzida no município, equivalente a 89,8% do total, é processada nas cidades vizinhas que concentram mais de 90% das empresas vinícolas do estado. Porém, no interior do município se verifica a movimentação por parte de um grupo de agricultores que migraram e outros que ainda estão em processo de transição agroecológica da viticultura convencional dominante na região para a viticultura orgânica. A pesquisa apontou que a produção orgânica de uva se encontra em expansão no município e na Serra Gaúcha, e está construindo uma rede de relações de produção e uma cadeia produtiva diferente, mas semelhante em algumas relações estabelecidas pela viticultura convencional. Essa nova relação envolvendo a produção de uva orgânica pautada pela sustentabilidade ambiental, social e econômica, centrada na agricultura familiar e no protagonismo do viticultor ao longo da cadeia produtiva foi denominada de território da viticultura orgânica.

The new Mexican political system: reconfiguration of capacities and power
Authors: Montiel G. L.
Published: August 2020

There exist different elements that contribute to the idea of the political system as such in the context of the Mexican experience, but also that serve as referents that characterize the recent past. For that reason, we present a scheme of analysis – with political trends that are being built and that differentiate the new Mexican political system compared to that of the 20th century. Based on a model of the political system as the methodology of the analysis, we will track the trends of the changing Mexican politics during the 21st century. The destruction of the institutions of the old political system is associated with a long process of political struggle, which has provided for the creation of new institutions, but in very specific political spaces. The article traces the changes in the political system of Mexico in the 21st century in its various spheres and manifestations: public authority, party system, electoral complex, civil society, the process of democratization. We consider the evolution of the three branches of government and analyze their current balance.
75 years after the end of World War II: considerations on Mexico’s participation as a belligerent
Authors: Moloeznik M. P.
Published: August 2020

The article attempts to explain the role that Mexico played during World War II (1939-1945). The Mexican armed forces, in particular the 201st air squadron, were directly involved in the hostilities at the end of the armed conflict, which had more of a symbolic significance. Nevertheless, it is necessary to emphasize the contribution of the army of Mexican workers – the Braceros, as well as of the thousands of Mexicans who sacrificed their lives in the uniform of the United States armed forces. In the present review of literature and key historical sources relevant to the topic, the author talks about Mexican heroes, World War II soldiers and considers the armed participation of Mexico in the war in the general context of the national development of this country, which borders with the United States. For Mexico, participation in World War II was an important event in the framework of the Mexican “economic miracle”, the modernization of the national armed complex, and the construction of the new world order (Mexico was one of the founders of the United Nations, taking an active part in the conference of San Francisco).

Mexico: COVID-19 – a lethal virus for the Aztec economy or a possibility of generating antibodies to underdevelopment?
Authors: Acosta A. C.
Published: August 2020

The present article is devoted to the analysis of the effects o the COVID-19 pandemic on Mexico’s international relations and the feasible consequences that may be tracked in the short and medium term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s presidency. The current president’s rise to power in 2018 meant a paradigm shift in Mexican domestic policy and was perceived by the countries of the region as a possibility for Mexico to resume its multilateral ties with the rest of the Latin American continent. Mexico is immersed in the COVID-19 pandemic after the storm of the migration crisis that unleashed the Central American caravan between 2017 and 2018. Devaluation of Mexican peso and the drop of oil prices are also pre-existing problems that have been undermining development possibilities that Lopez Obrador set forth in his campaign. Despite discouraging forecasts of socioeconomic indicators in the region, the article highlights the possibilities open for Mexico as one of the largest economies on the continent: it may find the way out of the storm, which could become a genesis of modifications towards development. In order to explain Mexican performance in the face of the containment measures of 2020 four axes were chosen: migration; international trade; regional cooperation; foreign policy and Latin American integration. In addressing the aforementioned items, the author conducts an interdisciplinary analysis of the factors that converge harming the economic and social indicators due to the fragility exposed by the global Coronavirus situation. The author also suggests some tools that the country could apply to strengthen its regional positioning.

Published: August 2020

Buscou-se identificar a dinâmica informacional dos perfis oficiais de governos dos estados do Nordeste do Brasil – Ceará, Maranhão e Pernambuco – quanto à disseminação de informações durante a pandemia mundial da Covid-19. Para tanto, foi realizada uma categorização das informações veiculadas para refletir quanto ao volume das informações e avaliar as dinâmicas dos conteúdos e suas relações com os dados estatísticos de infectados e mortos nesses estados. Metodologicamente, realizou-se uma categorização das publicações do Instagram oficial de cada governo e usou-se a Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS), que possui uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, para mapear as interações e a análise de padrões de relacionamento e fluxo informacional com os dados coletados. Isso permitiu compreender a comunicação no contexto das organizações a partir do viés relacional e processual. A partir disso, concluiu-se que a maioria das publicações é de conteúdo relacionado a medidas de enfrentamento à Covid-19, o que denota uma preocupação dos governos dos estados em demonstrar à população suas ações formais para minimizar os impactos causados pelo novo coronavírus. Além disso, o resultado ratificou Pernambuco como o estado mais transparente em relação à divulgação de dados e informações acerca dos casos da doença no estado.
Lives da fé

Published: August 2020

Religião e sociedade vêm sendo uma discussão cada vez mais latente nas instituições de educação, sobretudo, por ser a religião parte do sistema cultural que caracteriza os sujeitos e demarca aspectos significativamente particulares de suas identidades, que por vezes conflitam nas interações sociais devido aocomportamento ascético predominante em muitas doutrinas evangélicas. Diante as relações estabelecidas entre os fiéis, que a Palavra determina suas ações no mundo, e a necessidade de manutenção de isolamento social, altamente questionado por algumas congregações religiosas e considerando que o contatodestes fiéis com os meios de comunicação de massa, sempre foi conflituoso, o objetivo do trabalho em questão foi analisar a partir das redes sociais, como vem se posicionando os fiéis, com vistas a participação dos cultos no ambiente virtual e a interação com as questões de fé, considerando ser este um espaço devisibilidade mundana. Metodologicamente se trata de uma pesquisa social qualitativa que teve como campo de pesquisa as redes sociais. A pesquisa apontou que apesar do grande percentual de brasileiros que se afirmam fiéis evangélicos, a oferta de cultos e interação nas redes ainda é muito pequena, oque ainda demonstra certa resistência das lideranças, ainda que, para os fiéis essa seja uma possibilidade.
ON RANDOM WEIGHTED SUM OF POSITIVE SEMI-DEFINITE MATRICES
Authors: Galstyan T.V. , Minasyan A.G.
Published: August 2020

Let $A_1, \dots, A_n$ be fixed positive semi-definite matrices, i.e. $A_i \in \mathbb{S}_p^{+}(\mathbf{R})$ $\forall i \in \{1, \dots, n\}$ and $u_1, \dots, u_n$ are i.i.d. with $u_i \sim \mathcal{N}(1, 1)$. Then, the object of our interest is the following probability

$$\mathbb{P}\bigg(\sum_{i=1}^n u_i A_i \in \mathbb{S}_p^{+}(\mathbf{R})\bigg).$$

In this paper we examine this quantity for pairwise commutative matrices. Under some generic assumption about the matrices we prove that the weighted sum is also positive semi-definite with an overwhelming probability. This probability tends to $1$ exponentially fast by the growth of number of matrices $n$ and is a linear function with respect to the matrix dimension $p.$

Published: August 2020

The role of a mother alone is very challenging. With an additional role as a student or a worker add more burden to them. It is undeniable that Malaysian women in the 21st century has more roles than women in the pre-independent era. Nowadays, women have equal opportunities to work and pursue higher education like men. The need to provide quality life to the children has also encouraged women to contribute more in the family income. Despite the multiple roles play by women, the household tasks are still managed by them. For this phenomenological research, in-depth interviews were conducted with two participants who studied in public university in Malaysia. By using thematic analysis, four themes were emerged from this study. The themes were challenges, role management, assistance/support and coping strategies. In this study, the major challenge was to balance the role of mother and student. But whatever challenges they faced; family was their priority. Furthermore, spousal support also helped the mothers in managing their multiple roles. From the findings, it is hoped that it gives some insights on the type of support that student mother needs and ways of coping in challenging situation.

T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Theology and the Modern Sciences
Authors: Slattery John P.
Published: August 2020

This handbook surveys the long relationship between the often overlapping studies of the world around us and concepts of the Divine, from the ancient Greeks to the modern eco-theology movement. From Plato to Aquinas, from Augustine to Hildegard of Bingen, from discussions of the Hebrew Bible to the environmental sciences, this opens the field of theology and science to new concepts, voices, and futures.

For the first time in a single volume, experts in theology, history, philosophy and sciences, explore how both science and theology have contributed to the long history of racism and misogyny in human society. By naming and tracing both evils, this handbook makes them a central piece of future discussions of science, theology, and Christianity.

T&T Clark Handbook to Christian Theology and the Modern Sciences is divided into 5 sections, including essays on many key theological figures: ancient conceptions (3000 BCE – 200 CE), the long middle ages (300–1400), reformations and early modern sciences (1500–1800), evolution to modernity (1800–2000), and contemporary issues in Christian Theology. The book concludes with a survey chapter on the many Christian theological approaches to the environmental sciences today, defining the relationship between Christian theology and the modern sciences in the 21st century.

Ecstasy and Enlightenment
Authors: Asani Ali S.
Published: August 2020

The devotional literature of the Ismailis in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent is a rich seam of creativity in the cultural heritage of Islam. This book looks at the "ginans", a large corpus of hymns and poems composed in a variety of Indic languages and attributed to a series of preacher-saints who propagated Ismaili Islam in the subcontinent over several centuries. The work explores the origins of this literature in the larger historical, cultural and religious contexts of the Sufi, Bhakti and Sant movements in medieval India. The characteristics of the "ginans" are explored and the Khojki script in which they were written. There is also a look at the continuing enthusiasm for this poetic tradition in the religious life of contemporary Nizari Ismaili communities of South Asian origin.
Gender and Agriculture in Turkey
Authors: Erdoğan Emine
Published: August 2020

How have attempts to integrate Turkish agriculture into the global economy impacted rural populations? This book reveals the extent to which the increasingly authoritarian political regime in Turkey, and the neoliberal economy, impacts minority ethnic groups and women.

The tomato industry in Turkey has the highest export rate amongst fresh and processed fruit and vegetables. But Emine Erdogan shows here that global production is gendered, relying on the labour of unpaid or poorly paid women and based on a system of what she calls ‘intersectional patriarchy’. The book is based on participant observation and interviews to foreground the stories of the those involved in production, including local rural workers, Kurdish seasonal migrant workers, women factory workers and factory managers, as well as the landowning families. This provides a detailed picture of the transformation of rural Turkey and the inequalities of gender, class, ethnicity and age. A detailed ethnographic account, the book in unique in providing an intersectional and feminist analysis on processes of capitalization.

Studying Shakespeare Adaptation
Authors: Bickley Pamela , Stevens Jenny
Published: August 2020

Shakespeare’s plays have long been open to reimagining and reinterpretation, from John Fletcher’s riposte to The Taming of the Shrew in 1611 to present day spin-offs in a whole range of media, including YouTube videos and Manga comics. This book offers a clear route map through the world of adaptation, selecting examples from film, drama, prose fiction, ballet, the visual arts and poetry, and exploring their respective political and cultural interactions with Shakespeare’s plays. 36 specific case studies are discussed, three for each of the 12 plays covered, offering additional guidance for readers new to this important area of Shakespeare studies.

The introduction explains key areas that are subsequently explored through the chapters on individual plays, including: Shakespeare’s own adaptive art and its Renaissance context; production and performance as adaptation; generic expectation and transmedial practice, and a brief overview of adaptation theory. Organized chronologically, the chapters cover the most commonly studied plays allowing readers to dip in to read about specific plays or trace how technological developments have fundamentally changed ways in which Shakespeare is experienced. With examples encompassing British, North American, South Asian, Japanese, European, and Middle Eastern adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, the volume offers readers a wealth of insight and examples from different ages, territories and media.
The Promise and Practice of University Teacher Education
Authors: Gunn Alexandra C. , Hill Mary F. , Berg David A.G. , Haigh Mavis
Published: August 2020

Centering on the theme of university-based teacher education at a time of system change and its connections with broader global political issues, this book investigates the changing nature of initial teacher education (ITE) as it amalgamated into universities in the New Zealand context. The New Zealand government, like many across the world is seeking improvement in education system performance, with a particular interest in meeting the needs of those traditionally disadvantaged through education. As a result, over the last 20 years, most ITE has been relocated into universities and teacher qualifications have changed. Not immune to international discourses about the criticality of the teacher workforce to system performance, Aotearoa New Zealand provides a bounded yet connected case of ITE development and reform.

The authors draw from a study of teacher education practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and also look at recent research carried out in other jurisdictions to consider how ITE and the academic category of teacher educator is constructed, maintained and practiced within the institution of the university. They highlight the promise of university-based ITE provision, noting areas for development and provide an opportunity to better understand how student teachers within ITE respond to and engage with teacher educators’ work in the service of their own learning.
