Published: October 2020

Optimized CFS warehouse for stripping stuffing activities of LCL container goods, however, because PT. Teluk Lamong Terminal wants to reduce the Dwelling Time figure so that the stripping stuffing activity of LCL containers is not carried out in the CFS warehouse. Then, because there were no activities in the CFS warehouse, PT. Teluk Lamong Terminal utilizes the CFS Warehouse for container physical inspection activities (behandle). This study aims to determine the CFS warehouse facilities that can support the behandle process, determine the factors that affect the behandle process and determine the efforts that can be made to overcome the limitations of the CFS warehouse facilities during the behandle process.Researchers use qualitative descriptive methods to describe and describe the object under study. Researchers are involved in the process of searching for data by directly observing and analyzing the facts and characteristics of the object and subject under study. Sources of data used in this study are primary and secondary data. In addition, this study also uses data collection methods by means of observation, interviews, documentation, literature study. Researchers use direct and indirect observation. The results of the study concluded that the CFS warehouse facility could be used to support the behandle process at PT. Lamong Bay Terminal Surabaya. However, the physical inspection was not fully carried out in the warehouse area because the warehouse building design was not suitable for inspection activities so that the behandle was carried out outside the warehouse area and then loaded the cargo into the warehouse using a forklift. Factors that hinder behandle activities include Internal & External Factors. Efforts that can be made to optimize behandle activities are by renovating warehouses, preparing supporting facilities for inspection of goods, and preparing competent human resources.

Democratic Decentralization and Participatory Development: Focus on Bangladesh
Authors: Dutta Pronita
Published: October 2020

In recent decades, developing Asian nations have witnessed the emergence of democratic decentralized governance structures, and with it a shift towards a more people-centric approach to development. Proponents claim the new approach can humanize bureaucracies and provide solutions to problems of poverty and social inequity. Despite their popularity, difficulties in implementation have been found, and questions are now being asked about the ‘real’ effectiveness of such frameworks. Discussing first the tenets of participatory development and its symbiotic relationship with democratic decentralized on this paper looks at the challenges faced in decentralizing a decentralized participatory framework and the critical components needed for success. It draws on examples from within developing Asia to highlight the many complexities of the issue, such as different cultural beliefs, political forces, administrative arrangements and varying perceptions. It argues that where incorrectly implemented, a decentralized participatory structure can prove ineffective for local people, in some cases leading to practical disillusions and further disadvantage.
From Dusk to Dawn: Analysis of Anti-Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) through Policymaking Stages in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic
Authors: Sarbagishev Daniyar , Dyussenov Mergen
Published: October 2020

The article looks into Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) policy issues through all stages of a policymaking process, across two Central Asian nations, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic . It does so through the prism of the role of key actors at each stage of policymaking. Among the key findings of this paper is that the implementation of anti-laundering policy in Kyrgyzstan has constantly been confronted with opposition from a range of key actors, specifically fractions within the parliament, as well as business communities and NGOs, while Kazakhstan faced policy implementation hurdles in a much less degree since both chambers of the national parliament did not express open resistance to the adoption of new amendments to the basic Law. Despite the higher resistance to AML/CFT policy implementation in the Kyrgyz parliament vis-à-vis its Kazakh counterpart, Kyrgyz Republic succeeded in passing the new Law due to a change in political power in 2017. Although both Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic appear to move in the same policy direction overall while taking adequate measures to improve their AML/CFT policy systems in accordance with international standards, the specific stages of policymaking reveal interesting discrepancies, especially at the policy formulation and decision-making stages. This research appears to be the first and somewhat unique scholarly attempt to analyze a policy issue through a comprehensive policymaking cycle, i.e. all the way from agenda-setting to policy evaluation. More importantly, it looks into Central Asian context, the region that remains largely understudied.

HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS IN THE RENEWAL OF THE LANGUAGE OF CHURCH MONUMENTAL PAINTING IN FRANCE AT THE TURN OF THE 20th CENTURY ON THE EXAMPLE OF PAINTINGS BY MAURICE DENIS
Authors: Antropova Nataliya D.
Published: October 2020

The study analyzes the historical and philosophical origins of the renewal in church monumental art in French culture at the turn of the 20th century. The crisis that broke out in the second half of the 19th century within the philosophical knowledge and classical religion and an attempt to rethink the evolution of Christianity entailed significant changes in artistic creativity devoted to the sacred theme. The author explores the topic based on the church mural paintings of the French painter Maurice Denis, who stood at the origins of the transformation of the language of religious painting and whose role is significant for the further history of European art. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that all previous studies on this topic were primarily art criticisms. They paid special attention to the analysis of the artistic language and pictorial and expressive means. At the same time, questions of historical and philosophical nature and their role in the formation of new European religious painting were analyzed to a much lesser extent.

ARRHYTHMIA OF COLONNADES IN ROMAN BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Vlasov Viktor G.
Published: October 2020

The article considers the special rhythmic structure inherent in the facades of Roman baroque churches of the late 16th – 17th centuries. Select examples illustrate the relations typical of such architecture between the bottom diameter of columns (embates), intercolumniation, and column height. These relations include the classical ones, which are consistent with the theory of proportions of Pythagoras and the rules of Vitruvius, but the unusual arrhythmic techniques of the composition create a special dissonant resonance with human biorhythms and mental states within the space of Baroque architecture.
THE MYTHOPOETICS OF 1980s VISIONARY ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Sandu Olga M.
Published: October 2020

The term “visionary architecture” (“paper architecture” in Russian) is used to characterize conceptual projects that cannot be implemented for a number of reasons. Although unrealized, the visionary architecture of the 1980s is a real treasury of ideas for modern architectural practice. The distinctive feature of visionary architecture projects is thematic diversity and abundance of “eternal archetypes” and metaphors rooted in mythological images of ancient art. As in mythological programs, the visionary architects of the 1980s created a virtual space – a model of the world preceding the creation of objects of the material world. Being inside this model, the viewer does not just see the imaginary world but becomes part of it. In their projects, the visionary architects reproduce the mythological image of the World Mountain using architectural metaphors: a tower house, a crystal (glass) tower, the Tower of Babel, the World Axis, a skyscraper. A study of this visionary architecture from the perspective of mythopoetics reveals its semantic value.

Published: October 2020

The objective of this study was to establish the effects of dividend announcement to current market prices at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, with four specific objectives; to determine the information content of dividend announcements, to determine the extent to which prices converge to new values after dividend announcements on a sector by sector basis, to establish the market reaction to announced information and also to establish whether investors can secure excess returns by acting on announced information. A 66 days event timeline was employed from 2005 to 2015 on daily closing stock prices. A sample of 179 dividend announcements from 22 listed companies in 8 sectors were drawn and analysed using an OLS Market Model. Findings of the research conclude that; dividend announcements do have an impact on stock prices for the Agricultural, Banking, Commercial, Construction, Manufacturing and Telecomm Sectors and not for the Energy Sector, Insurance Sector and the Nairobi Securities Exchange Market. It takes more than five days for prices to adjust to their correct values and this makes it possible for market players to profit from the inefficiency by earning abnormal returns. We conclude that the Nairobi Securities Exchange is not semi-strong form efficient.

Published: October 2020

Background: Under-nutrition in young children has long-term negative effects on physical and cognitive development. Under nutrition problems are affecting overall development of the country. Aim and Objectives: This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence and to examine predictors of undernutrition among children of less than 5 years of age in urban slum of Gwalior district. Materials and Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on 550 children with age group 6 months to 5 years residing in urban slum. Chi square test and logistic regression were performed to see association and to predict risk factors. Results: Undernutrition was prevalent among 68% children. Unreserved category(UR) was found to be at lesser risk as compared to SC/ST (OR: 0.238 ;CI : 0.133-0.423).Nuclear families had more risk for undernutrition as compared to Joint families (OR:1.947;CI: 1.352-2.803),Illiterate mothers showed more risk (OR:5.696 ,CI:2.791-11.625) ,Similar results were obtained for illiterate fathers (OR: 3.950; CI:1.868-8.353) as compared to fathers having qualification of at least graduation. Females with one parity were protective for undernutrition (OR: 0.411; CI: 0.182-0.928).Low birth weight (OR: 1.996; CI: 1.332-2.991) and total member in family also played a significant role. Conclusion: Poverty and education predispose undernutrition in slum children. There is a need to undertake intervention through community education regarding breastfeeding, ANC, birth spacing and to adopt practices that favour good nutrition of child.

Published: October 2020

The importance of group testing, efficient utilization of the diagnostic tests and its applications are highlighted. Though it has advantages, the challenges and constraints and the need for the policy from the concerned authorities to implement group testing in a reliable manner with competent persons were brought out. Thus, with group testing and the use of digital technology “Aarogya Setu” in India, we are confident that we will be able to diagnose cases and implement surveillance activities successfully. Popularization of “Aarogya Setu” by all categories of healthcare workers, teachers, women self help groups and other users of android mobile phones in the interest of the Nation and community at large, towards disease containment were cited. However, the ethical aspects of deployment of such kind of approach as part of a multidimensional public health response, and its usefulness in infectious disease outbreaks have to be monitored.

Factors Influencing Domestic Violence Against Married Women in Bangladesh : Evidence From Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey
Authors: Alam F , Khan B U , Shakil M , Laskar MS
Published: October 2020

Violence against women is a common and menacing phenomenon in Bangladesh-and domestic violence is the most common form which includes pushing, shaking or throwing of any objects, slapping, punching with fist or something harmful, kicking or dragging, trying of choke or burn, threatening with knife/gun or other weapon, twisting arm or pulling hair. In the study mean age of the respondents were 30.66 (±8.904) and 62.5% respondents lived in Rural areas where higher prevalence of abuse has been observed. The reasons mentioned through out the country for abuse were inconsequential and included failure to perform household work and care of children, economic problems, food crisis, refusal to bring dowry, disobeying husband/elder, unemployment status of husband, suspected case of infidelity etc. Factors influencing domestic violence were lack of education both in respondents or their spouse, lack of exposure to magazine or source of information, current married, large number of children ever born etc. The majority of abused women remained silent about their experience because of the high acceptance of violence within society, only a few shared the matter with neighbor, father/mother or other relatives. A very small proportion of women approached institutional sources for help. Interestingly, violence increased with membership of women in any non government organization or mother club or relating to any income generating process. It is furthermore disgraceful to find that the women with lower body mass index are the higher group of population who are the high-flying victims of violence. In rural or urban Bangladesh, women's physical, mental, social and economic circumstances may influence their risk of domestic violence in multifaceted and paradoxical ways. Therefore findings suggest discussing policy propositions to overcome current realities.

Authors: Uppala Roshni , Niranjan V. , Prakash Ch. Das , Rao R. Srinivas
Published: October 2020

This paper demonstrates the usage of fast fourier transform and wavelet transform in locating faults using a simple transmission line. Transmission lines connect the generating stations and load centers. Hence, the chances of fault occurring in transmission lines are very high. Signal processing is the most important part of the digital distance protection schemes. The proposed model effectively helps in locating the fault such as L-G,LL,LL-G,LLL using MATLAB/SIMULINK. In doing so it describes the method of analysis of above two transforms in SIMULINK environment using the above two transforms. MATLAB simulation results show the wavelet method of transforms is a good and powerful tool to estimate the disrupts location on the transmission line when fault occurs.

Authors: Ramli Marini , Zulkafli Zefarina , Chambers Geoffrey Keith , Raja Zilan Raja Sabrina Amani , Edinur Hisham Atan
Published: October 2020

Objectives: Blood bank centers routinely screen for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to ensure the safety of blood supply and thus prevent the dissemination of these viruses via blood transfusion. We sought to evaluate the detection of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) markers using standard serological methods and nucleic acid testing (NAT) among blood donors in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Methods: Donated blood units were assessed for the presence or absence of HBV, HCV, and HIV using two screening method: serology and NAT. Reactive blood samples were then subjected to serological confirmatory and NAT discriminatory assays. Results: A total of 9669 donors were recruited from September 2017 to June 2018. Among these, 36 donors were reactive either for HBV, HCV, or HIV by serological testing and eight by NAT screening. However, only 10 (three for HBV and seven for HCV) donors tested positive using serological testing and five (two for HBV and three for HCV) by NAT discriminatory assays. Note that all five NAT positive donors detected in the NAT discriminatory assays were confirmed to be serologically reactive. Therefore, the prevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV was 0.03%, 0.1%, and 0.0%, respectively, in our donor pool. Conclusions: Both serological and NAT screening and confirmatory assays should be used routinely to reduce the risk of infection transmission via the transfusion of blood and blood components.
Procesos y tensiones de democratización en la educación estética Argentina: la Revista de Educación entre los años 1960-1970
Authors: Galak Eduardo , Southwell Myriam
Published: October 2020

Este artículo analiza los discursos producidos en torno a los cuerpos y las sensibilidades en un artefacto cultural de incidencia masiva que circularon en los procesos de escolarización y que tuvieron significaciones estéticas y políticas en la Argentina de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Asumiendo que la estética escolar es un registro constitutivo de la escuela destinada a la formación de sensibilidades colectivas, y por tanto busca reordenar las sensaciones, valoraciones y moralidades en determinadas sensibilidades, producir una “educación sentimental” a partir de la formación de las subjetividades, interesa analizar la Revista de Educación editada por el Ministerio de Educación de la provincia de Buenos Aires en las décadas de 1960 y 1970. En el período abordado tiene lugar una puja tensionada de dos procesos constantes, antagonistas y de mutua impugnación: una corriente de democratización y otra de restricción conservadora. Ambas corrientes disputaron en torno al significante “modernización”, procurando articular ese significante vacío con distintas nociones para dominar el campo de la discursividad. La segunda mitad del siglo XX ha estado marcada por el debate cultural fue conmovido por el cuestionamiento de rituales sociales, modos de crianza, vínculos intergeneracionales, enmarcado en la proliferación de medios y lenguajes propios de la expansión de la sociedad de masas. Esos fenómenos tuvieron una incidencia directa en la puesta en crisis del formato educacional tradicional, la ampliación de medios y lenguajes de transmisión cultural y la demanda por la renovación de los contenidos y los medios para la filiación que produce la enseñanza.
Pedagogia crítica e “estudos sociocríticos” no Brasil e na literatura anglófona
Authors: Almeida Felipe Quintão de , Kirk David
Published: October 2020

A Sociologia é uma área do conhecimento importante na criação e posterior desenvolvimento da pedagogia crítica. O objetivo deste artigo é oferecer uma análise comparada do recente desenvolvimento da pedagogia crítica no campo da Educação Física. Examina, para tanto, essa trajetória à luz de duas paisagens cognitivas, separadas pela distância e pela linguagem. De um lado, a realidade brasileira e, de outro, a da literatura anglófona, divulgada na produção científica de diversos países, aqui representados por Austrália, Nova Zelândia/Aotearoa e Estados Unidos da América. Em termos metodológicos, usaram-se como fonte importantes livros e revistas publicados nas últimas três décadas, tanto no Brasil quanto no mundo anglófono. Os resultados ressaltam similaridades, mas também diferenças, na trajetória da pedagogia crítica nos dois universos investigados.
La sociologie de l’étudiant en France : entre reproduction et production
Authors: Paivandi Saeed , Milon Anaelle
Published: October 2020

Il y avait 300 000 étudiants en France en 1968, 1,5 million en 2000, il y en a eu 2,6 millions en 2019. Il ne s’agit pas uniquement d’une croissance démographique quantitative car la population étudiante a connu une diversification importante sur le plan social et scolaire. Cette massification a largement contribué à la naissance et au développement d’une sociologie de l’étudiant en France qui ne cesse de se diversifier en ce qui concerne ses objets, ses terrains et ses paradigmes. Si le travail fondateur de Bourdieu et de Passeron sur la reproduction des inégalités sociales dans l’enseignement supérieur a longuement dominé la recherche académique en France, de nouveaux axes de recherche ont élargi les périmètres d’une sociologie qui a connu une évolution importante. Depuis cinq décennies, la sociologie de l’étudiant est devenue plurielle en s’intéressant notamment au rapport au savoir et la perspective d’apprentissage, à l’intégration académique et sociale, au métier d’étudiant, à la culture et à la temporalité étudiante, aux effets de l’environnement d’études sur le parcours étudiant. Un nœud critique dans les travaux sociologiques concerne la place accordée à l’étudiant, à son expérience et à sa subjectivité au regard de son origine sociale et scolaire. L’analyse des enjeux théoriques et méthodologiques soulevés par l’évolution de la sociologie de l’étudiant en France permet d’examiner les divergences et les convergences qui perdurent au sein des débats critiques entre les chercheurs.
Classificação de imagens de satélite e índices espectrais de vegetação: uma análise comparativa
Authors: Fitz Paulo Roberto
Published: October 2020

Estudos relativos à dinâmica territorial sempre ocuparam papéis de destaque no âmbito da Geografia. As alterações espaciais experimentadas em determinadas regiões estão diretamente ligadas aos cenários físicos, políticos, econômicos, culturais e ambientais desses espaços em um dado momento. Diversas ferramentas têm sido utilizadas para analisar o cenário de um determinado ambiente.  O presente estudo procurou comparar, a partir de imagens de satélite, a existência de correlação entre diferentes índices de vegetação (IVs) e uma imagem classificada do município de Mundo Novo, no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul.  Para tal, foram utilizados o software livre QGIS e a planilha Excel da Microsoft. Como resultado, verificou-se haver alta correlação entre os distintos IVs e a imagem classificada.
O problema da parceria entre o Parque Nacional do Monte Roraima e o povo indígena Ingarikó na Amazônia setentrional
Authors: Sartori Oseias Cordeiro , Pereira Henrique dos Santos
Published: October 2020

Em face da situação de sobreposição, determinadas mudanças no cotidiano do povo Ingarikó acabam influenciando a conservação da biodiversidade na área também afetada ao Parque Nacional do Monte Roraima. Ao ignorar essas alterações, o órgão ambiental tem desperdiçado oportunidades de construção de soluções conjuntas com os indígenas. Essa realidade suscitou o objetivo de analisar a invisibilização do aumento da demanda do povo Ingarikó por bens naturais. A construção da reflexão foi possibilitada pelo cruzamento de informações oriundas de levantamento bibliográfico, análise documental, entrevistas e observações. Os dados indicaram que a escassez de bens naturais suscitou o aumento da pressão sobre determinados componentes da biosfera. Essa situação passou a demandar do órgão ambiental a adoção de um processo de gestão abrangente.
Influência da precipitação na turbidez das águas dos rios Cubatão do Sul e Vargem do Braço/SC: Uma análise para gestão de Estação de Tratamento de Água
Authors: Loch Juliana , Brentano Débora Monteiro
Published: October 2020

A região da Grande Florianópolis registra uma tendência de aumento gradativo no consumo de água. Somente a cidade de Florianópolis teve um aumento populacional de aproximadamente 15% nos últimos 10 anos, o que representa um aumento no consumo de cerca de 10 milhões de litros de água por dia.  Atualmente são potabilizados uma média de 259 milhões de litros de água por dia na Estação de Tratamento de Água (ETA) José Pedro Horstmann. As águas dos rios Cubatão do Sul e Vargem do Braço são responsáveis pelo abastecimento de aproximadamente 700 mil pessoas, nos municípios de Florianópolis, São José, Palhoça, Biguaçu e Santo Amaro da Imperatriz. Diante da importância desses mananciais para uma parcela considerável da população de Santa Catarina, este trabalho verificou, por meio de análises estatísticas, se a variável precipitação é um bom preditor da turbidez da mistura das águas dos dois rios, com indicação de uso no planejamento e gerenciamento da ETA. Concluiu-se que a precipitação explica apenas 10% da turbidez, o que indica que existem outras variáveis com influência neste parâmetro e consequentemente na qualidade da água bruta desses rios.

Published: October 2020

A adoção de políticas para a redução de risco de desastres encontra entraves que limitam suas aplicações. A análise de episódios emblemáticos e dos marcos referenciais e normativos dessas políticas no Brasil serviu como ponto de partida para um diagnóstico dessa condição. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi mostrar, por meio de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, como a adoção de políticas para a redução de risco de desastres encontra obstáculos que dificultam e limitam a sua aplicação. O presente estudo revelou três fatores: 1) governança baseada em assimetrias de poder, 2) insuficiência de integração entre políticas públicas nas diferentes escalas de gestão e 3) baixa articulação entre as políticas estatais e os conhecimentos acadêmicos.
O Programa de Investimento em Logística (PIL): diretrizes, objetivos e desfechos
Authors: Fernandes Roberto Mauro da Silva
Published: October 2020

O Programa de Investimento em Logística (PIL) foi lançado durante a primeira gestão (2011-2014) da Presidenta Dilma Rousseff. O PIL tinha como objetivo ampliar a infraestrutura e a logística referente à movimentação de cargas no Brasil. Entretanto, a produção de conflitivas relações políticas/econômicas/ideológicas no Brasil, entre os anos de 2013 e 2016, influenciou e colocou fim ao que estava previsto. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste artigo é descrever as estratégias, as diretrizes e objetivos do PIL), bem como, demonstrar quais foram os resultados obtidos. Para tal, fizemos uso de levantamento bibliográfico, documental e no ciberespaço.
Criação de novos municípios: uma revisão sobre a literatura presente no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)
Authors: Bonow Nathália , Pinheiro Robinson Santos
Published: October 2020

Com a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, houve uma notória fragmentação do território brasileiro a partir da criação de milhares de novos municípios. Diante disso, busca-se realizar uma revisão de literatura na plataforma Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, utilizando a palavra-chave “criação de municípios”, para compreender os fatores que levaram a esta acelerada fragmentação. Dessa forma, percebe-se que a criação de novas municipalidades ocorreu de maneira semelhante em vários municípios do Brasil e encontra-se atrelada a diversos fatores, dentre eles: busca pela autonomia municipal da localidade e fatores políticos, econômicos e jurídicos.

Published: October 2020

O relevo está em constantes transformações decorrentes dos agentes e processos naturais. O Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT) surge como ferramenta importante na obtenção das informações altimétricas do relevo, possibilitando uma análise automatizada que possibilitem interpolações de variáveis pré-definidas. O presente trabalho traz como objetivo a compartimentação geomorfométrica da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Jaguari a partir da árvore de decisão e a interpolação de dados referentes a morfometria do relevo, realizando-se a correlação dos dados topográficos (altitude, declividade, perfil de curvatura e plano de curvatura) gerados em ambiente de SIG. Foram definidas 18 (dezoito) unidades geomorfométricas, que possibilitaram a análise do comportamento de fluxo e dos processos erosivos nas vertentes.
Influence of convection on stratospheric water vapor in the North American monsoon region
Authors: Yu Wandi , Dessler Andrew E. , Park Mijeong , Jensen Eric J.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. We quantify the connection between deep convective occurrence and summertime 100 hPa water vapor anomaly over the North American (NA) region and find substantial consistency between their interannual variations and also that the water vapor mixing ratio over the NA region is up to ∼1 ppmv higher when deep convection occurs. We use a Lagrangian trajectory model to demonstrate that the structure and the location of the NA anticyclone, as well as the tropical upper tropospheric temperature, mediate the moistening impact of convection. The deep convection mainly occurs over the Central Plains region. Most of the convectively moistened air is then transported to the center of the NA anticyclone, and the anticyclonic structure helps maintain high water vapor content there. This explains both the summer seasonal cycle and interannual variability of the convective moistening efficiency in the NA region and can provide valuable insight into modeling stratospheric water vapor.
