Published: December 2020

Background

There is ample evidence that gestational diabetes mellitus has a direct influence on urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscles. There are no standardized pelvic floor muscle exercise programs in the literature for the physiotherapy and differ in the type of exercise, intensity, type and duration of application, and the frequency and duration of treatment sessions. The aim of this systematic review will be to investigate that Pelvic Floor Muscle Training can prevent and/or decrease the pregnancy specific urinary incontinence in women with gestational diabetes mellitus or gestational hyperglycemia.

Methods

We will perform a systematic review according to the Cochrane methodology of Randomized Controlled Trials. An overall search strategy will be developed and adapted for Embase, MEDLINE, LILACS, and CENTRAL databases, with the date of consultation until June 2020. The MeSH terms used will be "Pregnancy", "Hyperglycemia", "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2", "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1", "Pregnancy in Diabetics", "Diabetes, Gestational", "Urinary Incontinence", "Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength". Primary outcomes: improvement or cure of pregnancy specific urinary incontinence (which can be assessed by questionnaires, and tools such as tampon test, voiding diary, urodynamic study). Secondary outcomes: improvement of pelvic floor muscle strength (pelvic floor functional assessment, perineometer, electromyography, functional ultrasonography), improved quality of life (questionnaires), presence or absence of postpartum Urinary Incontinence and adverse effects. Quality assessment by Cochrane instrument. Metanalysis if plausible, will be performed by the software Review Manager 5.3.

Discussion

The present study will be the first to analyze the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises in pregnant women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or Hyperglycemia, who suffer from pregnancy specific urinary incontinence. Randomized Controlled Trials design will be chosen because they present the highest level of evidence. It is expected to obtain robust and conclusive evidence to support clinical practice, in addition to promoting studies on the theme and contributing to new studies.

Interaction of preimplantation factor with the global bovine endometrial transcriptome
Authors: Wonfor Ruth E. , Creevey Christopher J. , Natoli Manuela , Hegarty Matthew , Nash Deborah M. , Rose Michael T.
Published: December 2020

Preimplantation factor (PIF) is an embryo derived peptide which exerts an immune modulatory effect on human endometrium, promoting immune tolerance to the embryo whilst maintaining the immune response to invading pathogens. While bovine embryos secrete PIF, the effect on the bovine endometrium is unknown. Maternal recognition of pregnancy is driven by an embryo-maternal cross talk, however the process differs between humans and cattle. As many embryos are lost during the early part of pregnancy in cattle, a greater knowledge of factors affecting the embryo-maternal crosstalk, such as PIF, is needed to improve fertility. Therefore, for the first time, we demonstrate the effect of synthetic PIF (sPIF) on the bovine transcriptome in anex vivobovine endometrial tissue culture model. Explants were cultured for 30h with sPIF (100nM) or in control media. Total RNA was analysed via RNA-sequencing. As a result of sPIF treatment, 102 genes were differentially expressed compared to the control (Padj<0.1), although none by more than 2-fold. The majority of genes (78) were downregulated. Pathway analysis revealed targeting of several immune based pathways. Genes for the TNF, NF-κB, IL-17, MAPK and TLR signalling pathways were down-regulated by sPIF. However, some immune genes were demonstrated to be upregulated following sPIF treatment, includingC3. Steroid biosynthesis was the only over-represented pathway with all genes upregulated. We demonstrate that sPIF can modulate the bovine endometrial transcriptome in an immune modulatory manner, like that in the human endometrium, however, the regulation of genes was much weaker than in previous human work.
Estimating individual risks of COVID-19-associated hospitalization and death using publicly available data
Authors: Bhatia Rajiv , Klausner Jeffrey
Published: December 2020

We describe a method to estimate individual risks of hospitalization and death attributable to non-household and household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using available public data on confirmed-case incidence data along with estimates of the clinical fraction, timing of transmission, isolation adherence, secondary infection risks, contact rates, and case-hospitalization and case-fatality ratios. Using the method, we estimate that risks for a 90-day period at the median daily summertime U.S. county confirmed COVID-19 case incidence of 10.8 per 100,000 and pre-pandemic contact rates range from 0.4 to 8.9 per 100,000 for the four deciles of age between 20 and 60 years. The corresponding 90-day period risk of hospitalization ranges from 13.7 to 69.2 per 100,000. Assuming a non-household secondary infection risk of 4% and pre-pandemic contact rates, the share of transmissions attributable to household settings ranges from 73% to 78%. These estimates are sensitive to the parameter assumptions; nevertheless, they are comparable to the COVID-19 hospitalization and fatality rates observed over the time period. We conclude that individual risk of hospitalization and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection is calculable from publicly available data sources. Access to publicly reported infection incidence data by setting and other exposure characteristics along with setting specific estimates of secondary infection risk would allow for more precise individual risk estimation.

Published: December 2020

In order to obtain more valuable insights into the protein dynamics and accumulation of allergens in seeds during underground development, we performed a proteomic study on developing peanut seeds at seven different stages. A total of 264 proteins with altered abundance and contained at least one unique peptide was detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS). All identified proteins were classified into five functional categories as level 1 and 20 secondary functional categories as level 2. Among them, 88 identified proteins (IPs) were related to carbohydrate/ amino acid/ lipid transport and metabolism, indicating that carbohydrate/amino acid/ lipid metabolism played a key role in the underground development of peanut seeds. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that all IPs could be classified into eight cluster groups according to the abundance profiles, suggesting that the modulatory patterns of these identified proteins were complicated during seed development. The largest group contained 41 IPs, the expression of which decreased at R 2 and reached a maximum at R3 but gradually decreased from R4. A total of 14 IPs were identified as allergen-like proteins by BLAST with A genome (Arachis duranensis) or B genome (Arachis ipaensis) translated allergen sequences. Abundance profile analysis of 14 identified allergens showed that the expression of all allergen proteins was low or undetectable by 2-DE at the early stages (R1 to R4), and began to accumulate from the R5 stage and gradually increased. Network analysis showed that most of the significant proteins were involved in active metabolic pathways in early development. Real time RT-PCR analysis revealed that transcriptional regulation was approximately consistent with expression at the protein level for 8 selected identified proteins. In addition, some amino acid sequences that may be associated with new allergens were also discussed.

Authors: Hamm-Faber Tanja E. , Engels Yvonne , Vissers Kris C. P. , Henssen Dylan J. H. A.
Published: December 2020

Background

The clinical outcomes of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) therapy in patients with a Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) is mostly done by standardized pain and quality of life measurements instruments and hardly account for personal feelings and needs as a basis for a patient-centred approach and shared decision making.

Objectives

The objective of this study is to explore perspectives on personal health and quality of life (QoL) in FBSS patients concerning their physical-, psychological and spiritual well-being prior to receiving an SCS system.

Methods

We performed face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews to obtain descriptive and detailed data on personal health, guided by the Web diagram of Positive Health (Huber et al.) and a topic list. The following main topics were assessed qualitatively: 1) Bodily functioning, 2) Mental function and perception 3) Spiritual dimension, 4) Quality of life, 5) Social and societal participation and 6) Daily functioning.

Results

Seventeen FBSS patients (eight male, nine female) were included from April–November 2019 at the department of pain medicine in the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in the Netherlands. Median age 49 years; range 28 to 67 years, and patients underwent between one and five lumbar surgical operations. The duration of their chronic pain was between four and 22 years. After analyzing the interviews, three themes emerged: 1) dealing with chronic pain, 2) the current situation regarding aspects of positive health, and 3) future perspectives on health and quality of life. These themes arose from eleven categories and a hundred ninety codes.

Conclusion

This qualitative study explored FBSS patients ‘views on their health and the ability to adapt to daily life having complex chronic pain, and showed that patients experienced shortcomings in daily life within the six dimensions of the Web diagram of Positive Health before the SCS implant.
Differences in the perception of harm assessment among nurses in the patient safety classification system
Authors: Lee Kwangmi , Yoon Kyeongsuk , Yoon Byeongsook , Shin Eunhee
Published: December 2020

Background

Precise harm assessment by the medical staff is very important in a patient safety event reporting system but there are differences in perception due to insufficiencies in education.

Methods

We developed the survey tool consisting of nine patient safety incident scenarios to investigate the interrater agreement in the harm score assigning among nurses. The survey tool was distributed to 287 nurses working at two hospitals.

Results

The overall kappa value for interrater agreement was k = 0.21 for harm and k = 0.28 for harm duration. In nine patient safety event scenarios, such as “mislabeled specimen” or “chest tube drain”, when the degree of harm was not clear, the assessments of harm and harm duration were somewhat dispersed.

Conclusion

For the quality of the patient safety incident reporting system, the accurate harm assessment of medical personnel is highly important; however, results in this study indicated that theassessment of the degree of harm by Korean nurses was not standardized. The reason for this variability could be due to the lack of education that takes harm assessment into account. Therefore, training in harm assessment and the development of programs to support this training are both necessary.

Published: December 2020

Cytokine storm is suggested as one of the major pathological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection, although the mechanism for initiation of a hyper-inflammatory response, and multi-organ damage from viral infection is poorly understood. In this virus-cell interaction study, we observed that SARS-CoV-2 infection or viral spike protein expression alone inhibited angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptor protein expression. The spike protein promoted an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) mediated signaling cascade, induced the transcriptional regulatory molecules NF-κB and AP-1/c-Fos via MAPK activation, and increased IL-6 release. SARS-CoV-2 infected patient sera contained elevated levels of IL-6 and soluble IL-6R. Up-regulated AT1 receptor signaling also influenced the release of extracellular soluble IL-6R by the induction of the ADAM-17 protease. Use of the AT1 receptor antagonist, Candesartan cilexetil, resulted in down-regulation of IL-6/soluble IL-6R release in spike expressing cells. Phosphorylation of STAT3 at the Tyr705 residue plays an important role as a transcriptional inducer for SOCS3 and MCP-1 expression. Further study indicated that inhibition of STAT3 Tyr705 phosphorylation in SARS-CoV-2 infected and viral spike protein expressing epithelial cells did not induce SOCS3 and MCP-1 expression. Introduction of culture supernatant from SARS-CoV-2 spike expressing cells on a model human liver endothelial Cell line (TMNK-1), where transmembrane IL-6R is poorly expressed, resulted in the induction of STAT3 Tyr705 phosphorylation as well as MCP-1 expression. In conclusion, our results indicated that the presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in epithelial cells promotes IL-6 trans-signaling by activation of the AT1 axis to initiate coordination of a hyper-inflammatory response.
Host restriction of emerging high-pathogenic bunyaviruses via MOV10 by targeting viral nucleoprotein and blocking ribonucleoprotein assembly
Authors: Mo Qiong , Xu Zhao , Deng Fei , Wang Hualin , Ning Yun-Jia
Published: December 2020

Bunyavirus ribonucleoprotein (RNP) that is assembled by polymerized nucleoproteins (N) coating a viral RNA and associating with a viral polymerase can be both the RNA synthesis machinery and the structural core of virions. Bunyaviral N and RNP thus could be assailable targets for host antiviral defense; however, it remains unclear which and how host factors target N/RNP to restrict bunyaviral infection. By mass spectrometry and protein-interaction analyses, we here show that host protein MOV10 targets the N proteins encoded by a group of emerging high-pathogenic representatives of bunyaviruses including severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), one of the most dangerous pathogens listed by World Health Organization, in RNA-independent manner. MOV10 that was further shown to be induced specifically by SFTSV and related bunyaviruses in turn inhibits the bunyaviral replication in infected cells in series of loss/gain-of-function assays. Moreover, animal infection experiments with MOV10 knockdown corroborated the role of MOV10 in restricting SFTSV infection and pathogenicity in vivo. Minigenome assays and additional functional and mechanistic investigations demonstrate that the anti-bunyavirus activity of MOV10 is likely achieved by direct impact on viral RNP machinery but independent of its helicase activity and the cellular interferon pathway. Indeed, by its N-terminus, MOV10 binds to a protruding N-arm domain of N consisting of only 34 amino acids but proving important for N function and blocks N polymerization, N-RNA binding, and N-polymerase interaction, disabling RNP assembly. This study not only advances the understanding of bunyaviral replication and host restriction mechanisms but also presents novel paradigms for both direct antiviral action of MOV10 and host targeting of viral RNP machinery.

This study aimed to separate fatty acid ethanolamides (FAE) through an enzymatic reaction of
ethanolamine and the Terminalia catappa (Local name: Ketapang) seed oil by using reverse-phase
high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). A 4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm SunFire C18 column
was used. Separation optimization was performed by analyzing different variables, which includes
mobile phase composition (acetonitrile/water), flow rate and sample concentration. The separation
results showed that the retention time for all components was 4.5; 2.4; 12.9; and 6.3 min for fatty acid
ethanolamides: oleoylethanolamide, linoleoylethanolamide, stearyl diethanolamide and
palmitoylethanolamide, respectively. Inter-peak resolution of >1.5 indicated that each component was
accurately separated.

Published: December 2020

Chloroquine was theoretically reacted with the coumarin compound. Two compounds viz.
[N-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N-(5-(diethylamino)-pentan-2-yl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-7-
sulfonamide] (3) and [N-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N-(5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-
2H-chromene-6-sulfonamide] (4) were suggested. The results showed that compound 4 may influence
the COVID-19 treatment. The physico-chemical parameters were determined through theoretical
calculations by using Hartree-Fock at different basis sets (6-31G), (STO/3G) and the semi-empirical
(AM1) method. The calculations demonstrated the scheme of reaction between coumarin and the
chloroquine structure by using the predicted mechanisms. The physical and chemical properties of the
predicted compounds were determined to select the optimal form as the candidate for COVID-19
treatment. Compound 4 was more stable than compound 3, with different proteins viz. 6YHU, 6YI3
and 6LU7. Three types of software, including Gaussian 03, Chem-Bio office and molecular operating
environment (MOE) were employed.

Published: December 2020

This article reports the influence of titania (TiO2) and TiO2-graphene (TGr) as electron transport layer (ETL) on the performance of polyethylene oxide (PEO) based perovskite solar cell (PSC). Compared to most commonly used ETLs, graphene based ETLs showed immense promise towards scalable fabrication and higher carrier injection of PSC. Driven by this idea, PEO layer was introduced in TiO2 and TGr based PSC to inspect the feasibility of achieving notably high fill factor. As-grown nanocomposites were analyzed using varied analytical tools to determine the effect of graphene inclusion on their morphology, optical and electrical properties. An increase in the absorption bandwidth and red-shift in the absorption peak was observed from UV-VIS spectra indicating band gap narrowing. By exploiting TGr nanocomposite in perovskite solar cells as electron collection layer, a remarkable fill factor of 44% has been achieved. In short, present disclosure may contribute towards the development of ETL in high performing PEO based perovskite solar cell (PSC).
A környezeti identitás szerepe a környezettudatos magatartásban – a mérési lehetőségek értékelése
Authors: Piskóti Marianna
Published: December 2020

A környezettudatos viselkedés kialakulásának egyik előfeltétele a természethez való tartozás átélése1. A természet közelségének érzésével nő az empátia és a segítő szándék a természet irányába, elősegítve a környezettudatos viselkedés kialakulását. A környezeti identitás a személyiség és a természet közötti kapcsolatot mutatja, a nem ember által alkotott környezettel való összekapcsolódás érzését, amely hatással van az egyének világészlelésére és a természetben való viselkedésére is. Jelen cikk a környezeti identitás koncepciójának értelmezését, relevanciáját és alkalmazásának lehetőségeit járja körbe a környezetbarát viselkedés vizsgálatában, mint a természettel való kapcsolat elemzési keretét. Ha a természethez való kötődést az egyénben tudatosnak tekintjük, akkor közvetlen (explicit vagy direkt), ha tudattalan jelenségként tekintjük, akkor közvetett (implicit vagy indirekt) mérések alkalmazhatók. A szerző írásában bemutatja a környezeti identitás implicit mérésére alkalmas Implicit Asszociációs Teszt (IAT) Nature változatát, és a módszer alkalmazásával készült empirikus kutatás eredményeit, amelyeket explicit mérésekkel vet össze. Az implicit eredmények alapján hasonló mértékben kötődünk a természeti és az épített környezethez, és a kötődés mértékének nincs hatása a viselkedésre. Az explicit mérésű környezeti identitás ugyanakkor közepesen erős kapcsolatot mutat a környezettudatos viselkedéssel. A cikk célja az eltérő eredmények értékelése és adaptálása.
Loyolai Szent Ignác tanulási elmélete
Authors: Pulinka Ágnes
Published: December 2020

Ma már nehéz úgy személyes vagy csoportos fejlesztéssel foglalkozó szakkönyvet kézbe venni, hogy a tanulás témakörébe ne fussunk bele. Vezetőként, tanácsadóként, HR-szakemberként, trénerként, szervezetfejlesztőként a tanulás fogalma, a tanulási elméletek, modellek megkerülhetetlenek. Jelen cikkében a szerző egy sajátos tanulási modellt mutat be, amely első pillantásra a David Kolb nevével fémjelzett tapasztalati tanulási modellhez hasonlít a leginkább. Ez a modell azonban meghaladja, kibővíti a már ismert tapasztalati tanulás elméletét, ami azért is figyelemre méltó, mert ezt David Kolb születése előtt 400 évvel fogalmazta meg egy szerzetes. Loyolai Szent Ignác (1491–1556) ezzel nemcsak megelőzte saját korát, de korunkat is, ráadásul ezt a tanulási modellt szervezeti szintre emelte a XVI. században, s az általa alapított szervezet azóta is ugyanezen elven működik, s Jézus Társasága, vagy jezsuita rend néven ismert.
A marketing elszámoltathatóságának problémája
Authors: Jakopánecz Eszter
Published: December 2020

A tanulmány célja, hogy szakirodalmi összefoglalást adjon a marketing elszámoltathatóságának kérdéséről, problematikájáról. Kiindulópontját az a tény adja, miszerint nagyon változó a marketing vállalaton belüli megítélése, stratégiai szerepe sok esetben jelentősen leértékelődik a versenyképességre gyakorolt hatása ellenére. A marketing alulértékeltségének egyik oka, ha a vállalaton belül nem látják az általa „hozott számokat”, csupán azokat, amelyeket „elvisz”. Ugyanakkor azt is látni kell, hogy ma egy erősen fogyasztóorientált piaci korszakot élünk, amikor is a fogyasztói (és társadalmi) igények határozottabban vannak jelen a gazdálkodók gondolkodásában, mint valaha. Világosan adódik tehát az igény a marketing teljesítményének mérhetővé tételére. A szerző arra keresi a választ, milyen okai és következményei vannak az elszámoltathatóság hiányának, illetve milyen módszertant alkalmazhatnak a döntéshozók annak érdekében, hogy számszerűsíthetővé váljon a marketingteljesítmény.

Con el objetivo de conocer si los déficits en las destrezas cognitivas son una característica común de los menores infractores y de protección (en riesgo de desviación) y diferencial de la población de menores normalizada, se diseñó un estudio de campo. Para ello, se evaluaron la inteligencia emocional, el afrontamiento, la atribución de responsabilidad y el autoconcepto, a 450 menores colombianos entre 14 y 19 años: 150 menores infractores, 150 menores de protección y 150 de población normalizada. Los resultados mostraron que los menores infractores y los de protección tenían un déficit en atención a las emociones (inteligencia emocional), recurren más a estrategias desadaptativas para la resolución de problemas y comparten una definición negativa de sí mismos, y están menos satisfechos consigo mismos y de su comportamiento. No obstante, no se observa un sesgo hacia la atribución externa de la responsabilidad. Finalmente, se cuantifica porcentualmente la magnitud de los daños en las destrezas cognitivas. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la intervención con menores infractores y el diseño de programas de prevención con menores de protección.
Mise en scene d’un discours de resistance
Authors: Sini Lorella
Published: December 2020

Nous étudierons à travers quelques scènes du film français En guerre de Stéphane Brizé (2018) les caractéristiques d’un certain type de discours alternatif qui pourrait se définir plus précisément comme un discours de résistance. Celui-ci est représenté dans un espace polarisé et antagonique où deux camps s’affrontent dans une stratégie discursive de rupture. Il s’exprime à travers l’ethos d’un meneur, un charisme qui est susceptible de construire une identité collective. Enfin nous proposerons quelques réflexions sur l’impossibilité du consensus qui donne lieu à l’émergence de la violence verbale, voire de la violence physique.
“Grande eu não iria ser”
Authors: Gomes Letícia Santana , Silva Giani David
Published: December 2020

Buscamos, neste artigo, apresentar a narrativa autobiográfica da editora de livros Maria Mazarello, da Mazza Edições, que foi a primeira editora de registro no Brasil com publicações voltadas à literatura afro-brasileira. Por ser mulher, negra e pobre, enfrentou diversas barreiras para seguir sua caminhada, entre eles, o racismo. Assim, pretendemos identificar e fazer emergir a partir de seu discurso marcas de significação com discursos ora evidenciados, ora silenciados de preconceito racial. Para isso, ressaltamos as contribuições de Eni Orlandi (2007), em As formas do silêncio, que contribuiu para pensar e identificar o silêncio como potência, e não apenas como mero complemento da linguagem. Devemos ressaltar que o silêncio não deve ser entendido como o vazio, pois o silêncio é necessário, sobretudo quando abordamos autobiografias. Como ilustra Orlandi (2017), o silêncio seria o que não é preciso ser dito. Assim, iniciaremos nossos questionamentos pensando: o que é o silêncio? Como ele se exprime? Percebemos que ele não é transparente, tem sua espessura e instaura processos significativos complexos, pois ele tem condição de significar. Dessa forma, quando Mazza nos diz: “a gente não teria o amanhã” e se cala, há uma potência de significação que se instaura. De outro lado, percebemos em seu discurso um evidenciamento, como “a gente não quer ser negro quando menino”. É por esses ditos e silêncios que há um campo de pesquisa ainda incipiente e propício a investigações que a Análise do Discurso e demais áreas se abrem. É por isso também que iremos trazer algumas reflexões.

Um estudo sobre a Sociologia da Música, de Theodor W. Adorno e sua atualização na cultura-mundo hipermoderna
Resumo: A obra “Sociologia da Música” descreve o aspecto musical como algo intrínseco ao sociológico e, considerando-se a música como um fenômeno social, torna-se evidente e necessária investigação do curso de seu desenvolvimento. Mais que a música propriamente dita, Theodor Adorno se dedica a uma teoria do ouvinte, à recepção musical e aos elementos psicológicos envolvidos. Segundo Adorno, a recepção da música por parte do ouvinte revela modos passivos de comportamento, mas a regressão da audição representa a regressão de pessoas conscientemente neutralizadas que não conseguem pensar de um modo que não seja coletivamente partilhado, cujas convenções estéticas inibem a formação de uma consciência autônoma. Tenciona-se, portanto, relacionar o pensamento de Adorno com os valores da hipermodernidade e da cultura-mundo, de Lipovetsky, fundamentadas na moral do consumo, da individuação, desumanização e reificação da consciência, cuja dialética entre o universal e o particular tende à igualitarização dos modos de vida e conduta.Palavras-Chave: Estética; Sociologia da música; Hipermodernidade.
A study on The Sociology of Music, by Theodor W. Adorno, and its update on the hypermodern world-culture.
Abstract: The book “Sociology of Music” describes the musical aspect as intrinsic to the sociological and, considering music as a social phenomenon, it becomes evident and necessary investigation of the course of its development. More than music itself, Theodor Adorno is devoted to a listener theory, musical reception, and the psychological elements involved. According to Adorno, the listener's reception of music reveals passive modes of behavior, but the regression of hearing represents the regression of consciously neutralized people who cannot think in a way that is not collectively shared, whose aesthetic conventions inhibit the formation of a person. autonomous consciousness. It is intended, therefore, to relate Adorno's thought with Lipovetsky's values ​​of hypermodernity and world-culture, based on the moral of consumption, individuation, dehumanization and reification of consciousness, whose dialectic between the universal and the particular tends to equalization of ways of life and conduct.Keywords: Aesthetics; Sociology of music; Hypermodernity.

Resumo: O presente artigo faz uma análise acerca da possibilidade da existência de um Ser supra sensível, pautado nos pensamentos de Aristóteles e Kant, o que nos proporcionará, ao final, um paralelo entre o que foi exposto por ambos. Com relação ao primeiro, tem-se que Aristóteles terá como argumento o Movente Imóvel, ao passo que Kant se pauta em produzir conhecimento dotado de cientificidade, e, portanto, a partir do mundo fenomenal, de modo que ele terá certa objeção ao argumento aristotélico.

Aristotle and Kant: Essay on the Presence of a Supra Sensitive Being
Abstract: This article analyzes the possibility of the existence of a supra sensible Being, based on the thoughts of Aristotle and Kant, which will provide us, in the end, with a parallel between what was exposed by both. In relation to the first, Aristotle has as argument the Immovable Moving, whereas Kant is based on producing knowledge endowed with scientificity, and, therefore, from the phenomenal world. Based on that he will have some objection to the Aristotelian argument.

“A casa e a estrela”
Authors: Mendes Karla Renata
Published: December 2020

Embora o nome de Cecília Meireles seja evocado primeiramente por sua obra poética, a autora possui também uma vasta produção em prosa, composta por crônicas, ensaios, artigos, conferências, entrevistas, ainda não totalmente conhecidos pelo público e pela crítica. O presente artigo se propõe a investigar uma das vertentes da crônica ceciliana – os relatos de viagem. Tratam-se de textos que revelam uma Cecília Meireles viajante pelos mais diferentes lugares do mundo, em contato com diferentes espaços, culturas, povos e experiências. Mas as crônicas de viagem da autora conseguem ir além da simples descrição de lugares e revelam ao leitor um olhar mais lírico, subjetivo e reflexivo, apresentando-se ainda como uma maneira de meditar sobre a própria condição humana a partir do que se vê. Exemplo disso é o texto “A casa e a estrela”, publicado no Diário de São Paulo em 1953, em que a visita à casa em que nascera o poeta Tomás Antônio Gonzaga, em Portugal, desencadeia uma série de reflexões sobre a vida do escritor e, de forma mais abrangente, sobre o próprio destino e a existência humana.

O espaço físico na poesia de Manoel de Barros, o Pantanal, é delineado em uma poética que transfiguram o imaginário, ao falar de espaço é necessário que falemos de seus moradores, dessa forma, a figura feminina será o destaque na pesquisa em torno da obra Memórias Inventadas. Além disso, por tratarmos de lugar é impossível não discorrer sobre tempo passado, a memória, já que as recordações partem da infância.  Para o eu lírico, a infância vivida no Pantanal deixa vestígios que se transforma em matéria de poesia.
Towards Robust Situation Awareness in Autonomous Vehicles

Published: December 2020

Automotive Industry is having a rapid progress towards highest level of autonomy. As the industry moves up the ladder of automation, safety features are coming more and more into the focus. Different safety measurements have to be taken into consideration based on different driving situations. One of the major concerns of the highest level of autonomy is to obtain the ability of understanding both internal and external situations. In order to automate this process, first, understanding and automating the situation identification is necessary. Systems will also have to have embedded intelligence of awareness in order to reach to these situations. Situation Awareness is a term that consists of extracting information from the environment, providing an understanding towards the extracted features and taking actions in order to make awareness. This journal focuses on the different levels of situation awareness, provides concepts in order to automate the process so that it can play a vital role towards highly autonomous vehciles.

Climate Change is a crucial challenge of today. The main reason is increased man-made emissions of climate gases, like CO2, into the atmosphere. In every part of our life, these emissions have to be reduced. Transport of goods, called intra- or extralogistics, is necessary for economic welfare. Intralogistics means the transport of goods in distribution centres or manufacturing spaces, e. g. between machines. For continuous transport processes chain conveyor systems (CCS) are state of the art. The research group “Plastic Components and Tribology” at professorship of Conveying Engineering and Materials Handling focus on impacts of their whole life cycle, from design over use until end-of-life, on the environment. Another focus is the development of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for chain conveyor systems. They are useful to promote environmentally-friendly products and to push eco-design activities. But also, activities of circular economy such as recycling of the plastic parts from conveyor chains are examined. The article gives an overview of the goals achieved and the challenges ahead. Some of the achieved results will be presented.
Long Flat Continuous Conveyors without Critical Transfer Points

Published: December 2020

Conventionally, a series of several individual conveyors is necessary to realise long conveyor lines. This segmentation creates critical transfer points for the transport of goods. The number of transfer points and the overall height can be minimised by direct drives based on magnetic toothed belts and carriers attached to the mat chains. For example, a modular belt conveyor with an overall height of 100 mm and a width of 1 m can reach a length of well over 10 m. The friction between the mat chain and the sliding plane can be reduced by using alternative sliding partners such as a textile or a sliding support made of wood-based materials. These measures increase process and work safety and allow the system to be designed to be energy efficient.
Investigating the Lifetime of Fibre Ropes
Authors: Schmieder Annett , Golder Markus
Published: December 2020

Steel wire ropes have established as transmission, connection and safety elements in transporters such as cranes and elevators, due to their high breaking strength and operational safety as well as out of many years of experience. However, steel wire ropes have disadvantages such as high dead weight, high bending stiffness and sensitivity to corrosion. Increasing requirements on the energy-efficient and resource-saving operation of technical systems demand new materials, technologies and processes. As a result, textile machine elements like HM-HT fibre ropes (high modulus, high tenacity) come into focus of considerations. The aim of the research is to expand the level of knowledge with regard to the state of wear and aging. Another aim is to find out the influencing factors on the lifetime, discard criteria of high-strength fibre ropes and to derive methods for lifetime detection.

Along with the times, transportation has progressed. Regarding the means of transportation, one of the phenomenon that is easily encountered in everyday life is the queue at public transportation facilities. One of the queues that occurred at public transportation facilities is  the train queue at Semarang Tawang Station. The number of trains that passes the station can cause the train service at the station busy. This study aims to see whether the train service system of Semarang Tawang Station is good or not. This can be consider by the queues method, determining the distribution of arrival patterns and service patterns to obtain a queues system model and a system performance standard. In this study, the distribution of arrival patterns and service patterns are determined by calculating the posterior distribution using the Bayesian method. The bayesian method was chosen because it is able to combine the sample distribution in the current study with the previous information for the same cases. The prior distribution and the likelihood function are the elements needed to obtain the posterior distribution. The distribution of arrival patterns and service patterns obtained from previous information follows the Poisson distribution. Based on the calculation of the posterior distribution, the result shows that the distribution of the arrival pattern is a discrete uniform distribution and the distribution of the service pattern is a Poisson distribution. The result shows that the train service system at Semarang Tawang Station has a model (Uniform Discrete / Gamma / 7: GD / ~ / ~) and has good service based on the performance values obtained.

Published: December 2020

The book Great Divergence and Great Convergence: A Global Perspective is an attempt at analysis of historical process that led to current state of global socioeconomic system. Grinin and Korotayev suggest that both Great Divergence and Great Convergence are two different stages of the same process called by them Global Modernization. Authors also claim that globalization have weakened the core and strengthened the periphery of World System due to “law of communicating vessels” of global economy. The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct authors’ view on nature of historical process and to present non-Marxian historical materialism as an alternative theory.

Descriptive statistics are commonly used in data analysis to describe the basic features of raw data. Descriptive summaries enable us to present the data in a more simple and meaningful way so that the interpretation will be easier to understand. The descriptive analysis of circular data with outliers is discussed in this study. Circular data is different from linear data in many aspects such as statistical modeling, descriptive statistics and etc. Hence, unlike linear data, the availability of statistical software specialises in analysing circular data is very limited. Python is a programming language which frequently used by data analysts nowadays. However, the package for circular statistics is not fully developed and it is not ready to use like in Splus or R programming language. In this study, the descriptive analysis of circular data is performed using the in-demand programming language, Python. Descriptive statistics of the circular data especially with the existence of outliers are discussed and the proposed Python code is available to use.
