Published: April 2019

A emergência da cultura do fitness na contemporaneidade mostra-se como um espaço discursivo que se espraia, produzindo certa memória social. A partir dessa percepção, questionamos: quais são as condições de emergência do espraiamento da cultura do fitness? Para pensar essas condições, utilizamos alguns dos rastros históricos de emergência de inspiração foucaultiana, o que nos conduziu na construção teórico-metodológica do artigo. Apontamos como resultados que: os discursos fitness se gestam na linguagem contemporânea por relações de saber-poder da positividade da vida e dos corpos; a biopolítica, por meio da operação dos argumentos da produção muscular (exercício corporal), cria-produz “efeitos de verdades” associados ao desenvolvimento do capitalismo e do consumo, o que tem gerado uma nova economia política do discurso do fitness, valendo-se de um lugar moral identitário – ser fitness, em um trabalho sobre si, testemunha de valores de vigor, saúde, força de vontade, controle.

Published: April 2019

We present detection of 64 H II regions, three superbubbles and two optical supernova remnant (SNR) candidates in the nearby irregular galaxy NGC 2366. The SNR candidates were detected by applying [S II]/H? ratio criterion to observations made with the 2-m RCC telescope at Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory in Bulgaria. In this paper we report coordinates, diameters, H? and [S II] fluxes for detected objects across the two fields of view in the NGC 2366 galaxy. Using archival XMM-Newton observations we suggest possible X-ray counterparts of two optical SNR candidates. Also, we discard classification of two previous radio SNR candidates in this galaxy since they appear to be background galaxies.
Analysis and design of LCS resonant cell based enhanced zero-voltage transition DC-DC boosting converter
Authors: Nagarajan Anandh , Fusic Sekaran
Published: April 2019

An enhanced zero-voltage transition boosting converter (EZVTBC) is introduced
here which belongs to higher-order family. It exhibits lower source current
and load voltage ripples and also it maintains better voltage gain with
respect to traditional step-up converter. The zero-voltage transition is
attained with an aid of a LCS resonant cell integrating Lr - Cr resonance
tank network along with an extra switch. LCS resonant cell is the modified
version of conventional ZVT switch cell and the salient feature of this cell
is to eliminate peak current stress and conduction losses of main switch as
this remains a predominant problem in hard-switched boost converter and it
also improves efficiency. Initially, time domain expressions of EZVTBC are
derived using Kirchhoff?s laws for different operational stages to predict
the resonant transition phenomenon. The simulation is progressed in PSIM
software in order to verify its soft-switching performance on a 12 - 24 V,
30 W converter and also dynamic performance of the converter has been
studied with line and load variations. It is found that for rated load
conditions, efficiency of the soft-switched converter is improved 5 to 10%
approximately and resulted in 97%. Moreover the peak current stress and
conduction losses were eliminated.
In situ high speed diagnosis—A quantitative analysis of melt flow dynamics inside cutting kerfs during laser fusion cutting with 1 μm wavelength
Authors: Arntz D. , Petring D. , Schneider F. , Poprawe R.
Published: April 2019

Instabilities of the melt flow dynamics on the laser cutting front cause loss of quality due to the formation of striations on the cut flank. By using an advanced trim-cut test bench, in situ visualization of multiple reflections inside the cutting kerfs was possible for the first time. The existence of multiple reflections could be clearly demonstrated. The consequences regarding the striation pattern and its sectioning could be shown. Further evaluations of the melt flow dynamics inside laser cutting kerfs regarding characteristic temporal and spatial variables of the cutting process and their dependences are still necessary. Within this paper, the melt flow dynamics of the laser cutting process during laser cutting of 6 mm thick stainless steel using a disc laser with a laser power of 5 kW and nitrogen assist gas with a pressure up to 20 bar is visualized and analyzed by means of in situ high-speed video diagnostics (>70 000 fps). An advanced algorithm is used to determine depending on the cutting depth the velocity distributions of melt accumulations which are sliding down on the cutting front apex. The influence of the variation of focus position, cutting velocity, and assist gas pressure is investigated. Furthermore, a link to the quality of the cut flank is described.

APPLICATION OF RANDOM FOREST METHOD FOR EVALUATING INFO-COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Authors: Oleinikov Alexandr Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2019

Today the process of making decision on upgrading the network infrastructure of information and communication systems requires the participation of competent staff able to evaluate the state of element both by technical parameters and by social-economic factors expressed in quantitative and qualitative way. The aim of the work is to improve the means of summarizing expert information for classifying situations related to the operation of the network infrastructure of the information and communication system. The random forest method is suggested to lay into the ground of the theoretical base. The possibility of applying the method of grouping decision trees to select the most appropriate option in the process of forming recommendations on the modernization of information and communication system elements has been considered. The methods of lowering the level of retraining groups of trees are studied; According to the analysis results, the automation of building multi-element structures and groups of decision trees is proposed, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of using this mathematical apparatus for processing heterogeneous information. There has been found the possibility of using multi-element structures, decision trees, for classifying the elements of infocommunication systems and reducing the negative impact of retraining by organizing separate trees into groups called decision forest. The information sources for forming train and test samples are identified, which allows creating the element base classifiers for information transmission systems. The problem solved in the present work gives the possibility to reduce the negative impact of the human factor expressed in making wrong decisions due to a lack of basic data and low competencies. The positive aspects of generalization of expert information associated with the accumulation of experience of qualified personnel are enhanced by generalizing knowledge through the use of artificial intelligence methods that process retrospective and current information about the state of equipment. The implementation of a decision support system for the formation of recommendations during the operation of information and communication systems can improve the accuracy of decision making over a given time interval.

Authors: Ayu Yunanda Rochania , Ali Tareq Mohammad , Binti Mahdzir Akbariah , Kurnia Rahman Faried
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of predominant cultural values on banking disclosure. On one hand, Islamic banks have practiced Islamic principles which are universal for all countries. Islamic banks are expected to provide transparent information especially in terms of social and Shariah(Islamic) compliant information as Islamic banks claim themselves to have social objectives as the prime consideration. Islamic banks also have Shariah supervisory body to ensure that the banking activities and business operations are in line with Islamic requirements. On the other hand, Hofstede‘s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s hypotheses have rendered remarkable contributions in financial and accounting practices among different nations. Examining 45 Islamic banks in 11 Moslem majority countries, this paper focuses on four particular cultural dimensions namely individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance and whether these dimensions have an impact on transparency. This study found that two out of four national cultures still have significant effect on the transparency level in Moslem majority countries.

Real Returns of Private Pension Funds in Colombia
Authors: Salazar Guatibonza Flor Esther
Published: April 2019

On the performance of the private pensions system in Colombia, Individual Savings Regime with Solidarity - RAIs (per its acronym in Spanish), the results are often highlighted in terms of profitability; a thesis upheld by the fund Managers industry. In order to evaluate how significant the real returns generated by this scheme have actually been, from a database of daily transactions by the pension funds from 1995 to December 2016, and using the methodology established by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC-Financial Superintendence of Colombia) for the calculation of returns, was determined the net return on explicit administration costs to be borne by the members and inflation adjustment. Such endeavor found that for the moderate, fund since they began operating, their actual profitability from the perspective of their affiliates has been close to zero, as has been the trend for conservative and higher risk funds, which in recent years tended to become negative. Based on these results, we discuss the benefits that are usually attributed to individual capitalization systems in terms of high returns, better pensions, and savings protection, which contrast with the low pensions, or impossibility attaining one, that is starting to become evident in private pension funds in Colombia.
Implementasi Ketentuan Tentang Wilayah Berdagang Bagi Pedagang Kaki Lima di Kota Bandung

Published: April 2019

In many cities in Indonesia street vendors have given a quite significant contribution to the local’s economy. However, their physical existence oftenly gives an undesirable impact to the area itself. Aligned with the concept of regional autonomy which is regulated in the Law No 32/2004 concerning the Regional Autonomy, which was later revised by the Law N0 23/2014, provincial government has the rights as well as responsibilities to manage some of the governmental matters. The authority of Kota Bandung had issued the Regional Law No. 4/2011 concerning the management of street vendors. One of the essential matters in the respected law is the categorization of the areas for vending into three zones. One of those is the red zone, within which vendors are not allowed to exist physically, nor to have business activities. Nevertheless the law aims to accommodate as well as to manage street vendors, so that they could positively contribute to the city. This research examined whether or not law is properly implemented. It is found that the efforts to accommodate the vendors from the authorities have not been carried out optimally. The only attempt to enforce the law concerning the red zone is the repressive kind, with no permanent results of discontinuity from the part of the vendors to operate their business some time after. Almost all of the vendors interviewed stated that they had never been engaged in any form of efforts from the local government.

Aberrant mitochondrial dynamics disrupts mitochondrial function and contributes to disease conditions. A targeted RNA interference screen for deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) affecting protein levels of multifunctional mitochondrial fusion protein Mitofusin (MFN) identified USP8 prominently influencing MFN levels. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of USP8 normalized the elevated MFN protein levels observed in PINK1 and Parkin-deficient models. This correlated with improved mitochondrial function, locomotor performance and life span, and prevented dopaminergic neurons loss in Drosophila PINK1 KO flies. We identified a novel target antagonizing pathologically elevated MFN levels, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dopaminergic neuron loss of a Drosophila model of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Implementing Sustainable Construction Principles and Practices by Key Stakeholders
Authors: Maduka Nnamdi , Greenwood David , Osborne Allan , Udeaja Chika
Published: April 2019

The term äóÖsustainable constructionäó» is used to highlight the responsibility of the construction industry in attaining sustainable development (SD). With the increasing necessity for resource efficiency and climate change adaptation, there is a need for construction key stakeholders to implement sustainable principles and practices in construction projects. In the UK context, engaging in such action will facilitate the government target of 80% greenhouse gas reduction by 2050 and also be a potential source of competitive advantage in the future. The aim of this study is to examine how the industry values and promotes sustainable principles and practices in construction projects. A quantitative research method was adopted in order to reach a wider audience in the industry. An online questionnaire survey was used to collect data. The key finding from the survey is that the level of construction industry promotion of
sustainable principles and practices is less than it should be. The outcome of the survey suggests that the industry needs to strategise on how to champion and promote the implementation of sustainable principles and practices at a greater level if the industry is to contribute to the global quest for SD.
Lessons from Sweden: How Australia Can Learn from Swedish Industrialised Building
Authors: Maxwell Duncan William , Aitchison Mathew
Published: April 2019

Over the past decade, Australia has witnessed increased interest in industrialised building, particularly in the production of housing. This has happened under many different banners, including: prefabricated, modular, transportable and offsite construction methodologies. This interest has grown from a combination of factors, including: increased rate of housing construction and density; rising property and construction costs; the desire for increased efficiency and productivity; and a concern for the quality and sustainability of building systems. Historically, Australia has played an episodic role in the emergence of prefab and transportable buildings since the colonial era, but it does not have a longstanding industrialised building industry. In this context, an analysis of the experiences of North American, European and Japanese examples, provides valuable insights. This paper focuses on Swedenäó»s approach to industrialised building and the lessons it holds for the emerging Australian sector. Sweden represents a valuable case study because of similarities between the two countries, including: the high standard of living, cost of labour, and design and quality expectations; along with geographic and demographic similarities. Conversely, stark differences between the national situation also co-exist, notably climate, business approaches, political outlook, and cultural factors. In the 1950s, Swedish companies exported prefab houses to Australia to combat the Post-War housing shortage, which also supplies a historical dimension to the comparison. Most importantly, Sweden boasts a longstanding industrialised building industry, both in terms of practice and theory. This paper will survey and compare the Swedish industry, and its potential relevance for Australia. Areas of discussion include: the relationship between industry and academy (practice and theory); the diversity of technique and methodologies and how they may be adapted; platform thinking (technical and operational); the staged industrialisation of conventional practices; and the importance of a socially, environmental and design-led practice of building.
The merits of varying forms of mass timber products for offsite and modular construction
Authors: Hairstans Robert , Smith Ryan , Wilson Peter
Published: April 2019

Mass timber is a family of Solid Laminate Timber Systems (SLTS) formed from smaller sections of timber connected by glue, mechanical fixings, moisture movement or a combination of methods. These products, which include Structural Composite Lumber, GluLam, Cross Lam, Nail Lam and Dowel Lam (or Brettstapel), have over the past two decades seen an extraordinary upsurge in use internationally. This global phenomenon has been driven by a greater emphasis on the sustainable use of renewable resources and by significant technological developments in the manufacture of SLTS. This research paper considers the merits of each of these products, their manufacturing processes and the corresponding quality assurance requirements necessary for successful project delivery. The paper describes the advantages and barriers to the use of the mass timber and provides an overview of the various aspects to be considered during design for offsite and modular construction. The work presented also provides case studies of how these products have been researched and utilised into live projects in the UK utilising local resource resulting in the formation of new supply chain arrangements. The work further explains the advantages of the respective systems for the given application including information on species selection, connection systems employed and the necessary onsite and offsite management approaches deployed.
Construction industrialization and it integration: how tall wood buildings can show the right path towards construction 4.0
Authors: Boton Conrad , Forgues Daniel
Published: April 2019

The construction industry has been considered as refractory to information technologies. However, new technological approaches, such as the Building Information Modeling (BIM), are becoming increasingly adopted and are promising better collaboration, better flow optimization and greater integration of the supply chain. These changes are preparing the industry for the advent of "Construction 4.0", a more federating concept than BIM. This article explores the concept and shows how tall wood buildings could show the right path and lead the way for the rest of the industry. The research shows that while tall wood construction actually presents the potential to fit the construction 4.0 requirements, current practices are far from being uniform from one project to another. It also illustrates the need for a close collaboration between practitioners and researchers in order to overcome the current challenges.
Application of machine learning approach for logistics cost estimation in panelized construction
Authors: Ahn SangJun , Altaf Mohammed Sadiq , Han SangUk , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

Logistics operations in panelized construction are vital daily tasks that connect the panel manufacturing facility to the job site. Although logistics operations are both important and prevalent in panelized construction, the cost of logistics has yet to be fully understood by either industry or academia due to the complicated relationship between multiple factors in logistics demands and operations. In practice, logistics is considered as an overhead cost that consists of various indirect or fixed costs in the panelized construction operation. As a result, logistics cost estimates are rendered inaccurate when subjected to project changes. Considering the number of construction projects over the course of a year, inaccurate logistics cost estimates are significant. Previous studies have shown that a machine learning approach could be used to predict costs that are influenced by multiple factors. To fill knowledge gaps in both research and practice, in this study machine learning based on historical logistics data is used to accurately predict logistics costs for a given project. The results from this study indicate that machine learning can be a reliable tool to predict logistics costs.

Authors: Hong Ying , Sepasgozar Samad M.E. , Ali Akbarnezhad
Published: April 2019

Governments and clients expect contractors to utilise BIM for construction and maintenance purposes at higher level of details. However, the process of BIM implementation is not as quick as it was expected and looks some contractors have not used BIM at all, or do not use it for some of projects. This justifies an urgent study on the process of BIM adoption to identify drivers and key factors influencing the contractorsäó» decision. Many studies focus on exploring BIM advances, its applications and individual matters of BIM acceptance. However, less effort has been made to investigate the impacts of organizationsäó» intention considering BIM performance value and their support for BIM implementation. Therefore, this study aims to identify factors that affect the BIM adoption process at the organization level regarding perceived needs, organizational support and ease of operation. Quantitative and qualitative information are collected through survey and face-to-face interview in Chinese and Australian construction organizations. Structural equation modelling analysis is used to quantify the relationships between influential factors and organizationäó»s intention towards BIM utilization. Analysis results
indicate that äóÖBIM Awarenessäó», äóÖPerceived Needsäó», äóÖOrganizational Supportäó», and äóÖDown Timeäó» are four critical factors influencing BIM acceptance in Chinese and Australian construction organizations. Moreover, this study provides an insight of BIM adoption challenges in Chinese and Australian construction industries.

The study examined Factors influencing the intensity of market participation among the cattle farmers in Adamawa state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was employed to sample the respondents. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 400 respondents in the study area. Descriptive statistic was used to analysed the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents and truncated regression analysis was employed to estimate the determinants of intensity of market participation among the market participants. The result of the findings shows that cattle market participants were averagely aged 43 years, they are predominantly male (95.04%), (83.48%) were married, while (77.96%), (57.02%) had formal education and are full-time cattle farmers respectively. The result of truncated regression analysis revealed that age and gender of the household head, distance to market, herd size and seasonality were the explanatory variable that influenced the intensity of cattle market participation. Recommendations were made such as to encourage more formal education among the farmers, the more the participant is educated, the better the chance of participation in the cattle market and also to encourage female and those that are unmarried to participate in cattle marketing activities, and to provide adequate pasture land and water supply so as to curb the problems of exposure to avarice of weather, creates more additional sales point at farming communities is paramount important in the intensity of cattle market participation.

The purpose of the present study was to detect the passive transfer status in healthy neonatal foals by comparing serum immunoglobulin G (sIgG) concentration, serum total protein (STP), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and glutaraldehyde test (GCT) duration. Fifteen (15) neonatal foals (0-15 days old)’ blood samples were collected before suckling (day 0), 12th hour(hr), 24th hr (1st day), 7th and 15th days. Serum IgG and STP activity significantly increased after the 12th hr. Conversely, serum GCT duration significantly decreased in neonatal foals after the 12th hr. The results of the present study was shown that measurements of sIgG, STP concentration and GCT duration are useful to detect Failure of Passive Transport (FPT) in neonatal foals. While GCT and STP provide a simple and inexpensive field test, serum GGT measurement is not a beneficial test to determine colostrum intake in newborn foals.
Los límites del turismo industrial en áreas desfavorecidas. Experiencias singulares en España
Authors: Cañizares Ruiz María del Carmen
Published: April 2019

El proceso histórico de industrialización ha generado en España un importante volumen de edificios, instalaciones e infraestructuras abandonadas en espacios que fueron escenarios privilegiados de actividades que actuaron como motor económico en valles mineros, pequeñas ciudades siderúrgicas o en espacios rurales. Hoy algunos de ellos se han transformado en recursos, tras el cambio de modelo de sistema productivo que representó el paso del capitalismo industrial al capitalismo postfordista o global. Analizamos aquí tres casos de estudio, con tipologías diferentes, en los que esos elementos se perfilan como una oportunidad para territorios que buscan en el turismo una opción de desarrollo bajo fórmulas que apuestan preferentemente por la cultura. La metodología empleada se centra en la revisión bibliográfica, el trabajo de campo y contacto directo con estas iniciativas. Los resultados dejan patente que las experiencias de valorización del patrimonio industrial al servicio del turismo no siempre son exitosas y que los límites del turismo industrial son difusos. Además, alertan sobre la conveniencia de valorar no solo el impacto económico, sino otros intangibles de interés social o relacionados con el potencial territorial.
Composición y cambio de los comportamientos sociodemográficos en España en los inicios de una Segunda Transición Demográfica
Authors: Delgado Urrecho José María , Martínez Fernández Luis Carlos
Published: April 2019

La tipología familiar y las principales variables que registran la dinámica natural han experimentado grandes cambios desde los años ochenta del pasado siglo, mostrando nuevos comportamientos que, unidos a la importancia de los flujos migratorios exteriores, responden a los parámetros de la denominada Segunda Transición Demográfica. Analizar la intensidad de estas transformaciones y los diferentes ritmos que han seguido desde una perspectiva territorial a escala provincial y municipal son los objetivos del presente trabajo, para lo que se ha recurrido a una amplia revisión de las fuentes estadísticas disponibles desde 1985 y a su plasmación cartográfica, resaltando los contrastes provinciales y las particularidades de los ámbitos urbano y rural. Partiendo del estudio del comportamiento nupcial y del incremento de la divorcialidad, así como de la creciente importancia de nuevos modelos familiares, se ha constado la pérdida de relevancia del crecimiento natural frente al saldo migratorio en la evolución reciente de la población, confirmando la consolidación de un régimen demográfico cuyas principales variables definitorias son ya similares a las registradas en Europa occidental.

Un vertedero de 110 ha, ubicado sobre el acuífero superficial de Akrach en Marruecos, ha sido estudiado para caracterizar la calidad de las aguas subterráneas alrededor del vertedero, conocer la extensión del área contaminada y estudiar los factores involucrados en esta contaminación. El vertedero se emplazó en la ciudad de Um Azza (15 km al sur de Rabat), entre el rio Akrach, al oeste, y la represa Sidi Mohaed Ben Abdallah, al este. Un control piezómetro y análisis químicos se hicieron sobre 22 pozos para estudiar esta contaminación. La calidad del agua es afectada por una contaminación importante, especialmente en las áreas al contacto cercano del vertedero, y aguas abajo de este mismo. En las zonas afectadas la conductividad eléctrica de las aguas supera 1100 µS.cm-1, los bicarbonatos superan 508 mg.L-1 , los cloruros, sulfatos y nitratos superan 850,200 y 1 mg.L-1. Además se consiguió alto contenido en cadmio (50-100 µg.L-1) y cromo (40-230 µg.L-1). En definitiva, se superaron olgadamente los valores estipulados en las normas de la OMS para el agua potable y de riego. Un análisis en componentes principales se llevó a cabo sobre el conjunto de datos. No aparece un eje factorial consistente, sino más bien muchos ejes de importancia similar, lo que muestra un conjunto de mecanismos de la misma fuerza involucrados en la calidad química de las aguas contaminadas. Una clasificación jerárquica ascendente da tres grupos de muestras, cada grupo corresponde a un nivel de contaminación.

Beets are one of the most useful food ingredients. One of the benefits is to provide natural color in the manufacture of food products. The pigment present in the red bit is betasianin. Betasianin is a class of antioxidants. Drink jelly is a soft gel-shaped drink, generally jelly drinks have elastic properties but consistency or gel strength is weaker than jelly agar. This study aims to diversify food products from red bit beans.The research begins by making red beet extracts first, after which mixing all the ingredients of making jelly drinks. The experimental design used in this research is Completely Randomized Design with three treatment levels and two replications. Data analysis was processed by Kruskal Wallis and ANOVA. The treatments used were comparison of beets and water 1:10, comparison of beets and water 1: 12,5 and comparison of beets and water 1:15. Organoleptic tests used in the study were hedonic rank test and sensory quality test.The results showed that the treatment comparison of beets and water 1:15of  was selected jelly beverage based on hedonic test result by panelist. Chemical analysis of the selected product was then performed. Drink jelly comparison of beets and water 1:15 has antioxidant levels of 4.2 mg vit c / 100g sample, food fiber content of 14, 92%, and total sugar of 26.27%.

Published: April 2019

Based on a comparative study of herbarium material and field observations, it is proposed to restore the name Astragalus psiloglottis Steven ex DC., used previously as a synonym of A. oxyglottis Steven ex M. Bieb. Two related species reliably differ in a number of characters and are geographically isolated.
