El resurgimiento de la sociedad civil: fundamentos para una filosofía de la solidaridad
Authors: Hernández Silva Romel , Chamorro Rosero Mauricio
Published: February 2019

El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el punto de encuentro de dos discusiones teóricas en torno a la dicotomía entre sociedad civil y Estado. Hay una importante discusión según la cual, en la actualidad, estamos frente a un “resurgimiento de la sociedad civil”, caracterizado por la reafirmación de los valores del autogobierno, la expansión de la subjetividad, del comunitarismo y de las organizaciones autónomas de los intereses y los modos de vida. El artículo se elabora mediante una búsqueda y un uso de teorías que permitieron una discusión teórica sobre el tema y los conceptos desarrollados. De lo anterior se obtiene que el discurso solidario, hoy, crea tendencias en la economía, la política y la filosofía. Estas tendencias ya no son simples discursos al margen, sino que se muestran como dominantes y van más allá de las sencillas relaciones humanas, buscando la conservación del medio ambiente y la creación de unos lazos de armonía con otros seres vivos que habitan con nosotros este planeta. La solidaridad, hoy más que nunca, se torna importante y es fundamental abordarla, estudiarla, darle al discurso que la contiene toda la difusión necesaria, a través de las tendencias económicas, políticas y filosóficas; pero, más importante aún que su difusión en este tiempo, es realmente esencial entender los motivos por los cuales actualmente la solidaridad tiene tanta trascendencia. Por ende, la discusión se da en torno a la preocupación de que actualmente existe una sociedad en búsqueda de encerrarse en su esfera privada para no ser molestados; el problema que surge de ahí, y por el cual los griegos no sufrían, es cómo hacer posible que ese Estado adquiera legitimidad y no se atomice, no se desarticule.
Los terrorismos a la tica. Casos y relatos que vinieron a mí
Authors: Álvarez Mora Mauricio
Published: February 2019

La violencia política, y el terrorismo de Estado, en particular, me encontraron hace varios años, por vivencias y testimo­nios que fui guardando. Estas vivencias y testimonios han hecho un mapa que, en tanto permanezca oculto, es de terror e impunidad. Descubrirlo y dibujarlo van de la mano, implica sacar la voz para hacerla palabra escrita, con más urgencia que estética, por el deber de un nunca más.

Abstract:

Introduction: The possibility of successful smoking cessation is increased by early initiation. Therefore, promoting smoking cessation at early age (especially among 14–35-year-olds) has a key role in reducing tobacco use prevalence. Facebook is one of the most popular websites among adolescents and young adults which can be used for age-specific smoking cessation support. Aim: Our research seeks to reveal the effects of a Facebook page on smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes among 14–35-year-olds. Method: An online survey was conducted among the 3278 followers of the author’s Facebook page. The questionnaire was completed by 332 people among 14–35-year-olds. We analysed demographic data, smoking habits, the usage frequency and duration of the Facebook page as well as changes in smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes. Results: The average age was 22.57 ± 5.08 years. The examined population consisted of 65% currently smokers, 12% former smokers and 23% non-smokers. Significantly more people reported a positive change in their smoking habits and smoking cessation attitudes among smokers who used the Facebook page more frequently and with longer duration (p<0.05). The habit and attitude changes were significantly higher among smokers who plan to quit smoking (p<0.01). Nevertheless, we also observed attitude changes between 12–25% among smokers who did not plan to quit. Among non-smokers, the positive attitude changes were significantly higher in the low-educated population who live in villages (p<0.01). Conclusion: This Facebook page had a positive effect on smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes among 14–35-year-olds. The contents of the Facebook page could be used to prevent smoking and support smoking cessation among 14–35-year-olds. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(6): 220–227.

IDEAL WOMAN IN THE REFORMATION TEXTS AND IMAGES: BETWEEN CONSTRUCTS AND PRACTICES
Authors: Kovbasiuk S.
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we explore how an ideal of woman was shaped in the Reformation epoch. We also focused on how humanists and reformers in their practices addressed to this ideal. We analysed as texts – treatises and pamphlets by Erasmus of Rotterdam, Juan Luis Vives, Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, so images, paintings and engravings, from the Reformation era.
The Reformation ideal of woman was highly traditional, even if compared with a Humanist one. An ideal woman is a spouse and a mother, completely involved with household matters, always obedient to her husband, sober and humble. Such an ideal constructed in the narratives was transmitted to visuality. Real everyday practices were often far from this idyllic pattern The marriage of Luther to Katharina von Bora, depicted as an exemplary one both in narratives and visuality, in reality was much more complicated and ambiguous. Katharina, though she was indeed very good in household, exercised power at home and profited from freedom of speech, knew Latin and even argued in theological matters with her husband. The actors themselves were not always aware of this rupture between ideal and reality, as everyday practices often combine rational and irrational views.
PALEOGEOGRAPHIC ASPECTS OF BURIMSKA SUITE FORMATE IN THE KANIV REGION
Authors: Menasova A. , Tymchenko Yu.
Published: February 2019

Research of Cretaceous epeiric sea deposits is important for understanding of sedimentation features in that period. The rocks, which were formed during the Albian and Cenomanian time, are particularly interesting. The Albian and Cenomanian deposits are widely represented in the sedimentary cover of Ukraine. These deposits are characterized by fixed lithological composition and numerous fossils are characteristic of these sediments. The Albian and Cenomanian of the Kaniv region are known as the Burimska suite. Goal of the work was to reconstruct the Late Albian – Early Cenomanian paleogeographic sedimentary conditions in the Kaniv region. In order to do that, published data were used alongside with the results of own observations: samples of rocks were selected and studied by the traditional paleogeographic methods. During the Late Albian, the area was covered with the shallowest part of warm shelf sea with normal salinity and was the northern margin of the Tethys. The sedimentary regime of the basin was controlled, on the first place, with the great amount of the terrigenous material coming from an ajoining land. The sediment enriched with silica got into the sea basin as a result of the denudation of the Ukrainian Shield. Obviously, the vegetation cover, which was represented by coniferous gymnosperms, could not resist the denudation.

The dependence between accumulation of the silicious deposit and glauconite genesis on the one hand, and biochemical barriers existed on the land-sea boundary, on the other hand, has been established for this epeiric sea which were formed on the sea-land boundary, under the oxidative condition, on the contact of waters with different biochemical parameters (river-sea). This fact allows us to shed a light on the facies conditions of the sedimentation of the Âurimska suite and temporary formations. These results can be the basis for a comparative analysis of the sedimentary environments in the Early-Late Cretaceous for different regions of Ukraine.
ON THE ISSUE OF THE APPLICATION OF FEA (FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY) NON-TARIFF REGULATION INSTRUMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WTO (WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION) REGULATIONS
Authors: Shirinova A.
Published: February 2019

The justification of the necessity to improve the use of non-tariff instruments of customs regulation of foreign economic activity. The processes of improving the use of non-tariff instruments of customs activities based on an analysis of their global use (in the context of the WTO) were described. The article proved that effective experience gained by developed countries should not be enacted into national practice automatically, because of its acceptance in any other country or prescription by international regulations. The author came to the conclusion that consideration of national interests should be the main factor in the development of non-tariff regulation instruments. Clarified the features of the use of administrative regulatory tools in the modern world are revealed; the reforming measures for non-tariff regulation of foreign economic activity which are necessary for improvement and optimization of the customs activity are defined.

Authors: Buckshey Sakshi , Anthonappa Robert P , King Nigel M. , Itthagarun Anut
Published: February 2019

Background: Calcium phosphate and fluoride (F) delivery systems claim to facilitate enamel remineralization. Aim: To evaluate and compare (i) the remineralizing potential of Clinpro® Tooth Crème(CTC) and Tooth Mousse Plus®(TMP) on artificial carious lesions, and (ii) the benefit of 1000ppm F dentifrice prior to the application of CTC and TMP. Study design: Carious lesions, 200–300μm deep were produced by placing molars in demineralizing solution for 96h, sections 100–150μm thick were then randomly assigned to six groups(n=150). Specimens were treated thrice daily with a non-fluoridated(Group A), or fluoridated dentifrice[1000ppm, (Group B)], or CTC(Group C), TMP(Group D), fluoridated dentifrice followed by CTC(Group E), or a fluoridated dentifrice followed by TMP(Group F), and then subjected to a 10-day pH cycling model. Lesion evaluation involved polarizing light microscopy and microradiography. Results: Posttreatment maximum mineral content at the surface zone(Vmax) was significantly increased in Groups B, C, and D compared to the other groups. The lesion depth(LD) decreased in Group D>Group C>Group E, and the net mineral content gain(ΔZ) in Group C>Group D, which did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: CTC and TMP exhibited similar efficacy in remineralizing artificial carious lesions. Nevertheless, the net mineral gain or lesion consolidation following CTC use was higher than TMP.
Role of Optical Coherence Tomography in the Diagnosis of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
Authors: TERADA KOSEI
Published: February 2019

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an infrequent and often missed diagnosis among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially young healthy females. Unfortunately, SCAD can result in significant morbidity, such as ischemia and infarction. Currently, there has been a surge in the diagnosis of SCAD due to the widespread use of new intracoronary imaging modalities, especially optical coherence tomography (OCT).However, no specific guidelines exist concerning appropriate treatment for SCAD. Moreover, the role of intracoronary imaging with OCT has yet to be fully established. The aim of our review is to provide a comprehensive contemporary update of SCAD; the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, management and cardiovascular outcomes are reviewed from the viewpoint of OCT.

Published: February 2019

Background Patients at a high operative risk for conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) may be offered sutureless valve implantation. Sutureless valves resemble conventional valves but incorporate an anchoring mechanism without using annular sutures. Methods Pre-operative and six month post-operative echocardiography data from our first year, single centre experience of sutureless valves was compared to conventional aortic valve replacements in patients matched for operative risk. Left ventricular ejection fraction, mean and peak AV gradients and inter-ventricular septal thickness, effective orifice area (EOA) and indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) were measured.  Results The drops in mean and peak pre- to post-operative gradients were greater in the sutureless group, p=0.039 and p=0.001 respectively. Post-operative EOA was 1.69 cm2 and 1.26 cm2 (p=0.001) in the sutureless and conventional groups. Similarly iEOA was 0.93 cm2 and 0.74 cm2 (p=0.001) in the sutureless and conventional groups. There was also a reduction in patient prosthesis mismatch (PPM) in the sutureless group as compared to the conventional group (Chi square test p=0.026). Post-operative inter-ventricular septal thickness was 1.13 cm2 in the sutureless group and 1.35 cm2 in the conventional group (p=0.011). Conclusions Use of sutureless valves with a stent framework resulted in larger EOA and iEOA and a diminution in PPM; and lead to a statistically significant faster regression in inter-ventricular septal thickness that is a measure of left ventricular mass. The rate and extent of regression in left ventricular hypertrophy after AVR is important since it determines long-term survival including mortality, heart failure and decreased admission rates.

An Origin-Destination Matrix Estimate for Baghdad City Based on GIS
Authors: Alkawaaz Namir G. Ahmed
Published: February 2019

Baghdad suffers a deficiency in the application of urban transportation planning process, especially in selecting the suitable transport policies to solve transportation problems. One of the important inputs to the transportation planning process is the Origin – Destination Matrix. The O-D matrix is the travel demand between the pair of origin and destination zones and is one of the necessary goals of transportation studies. Estimation of an O-D matrix using the conventional process requires the collection of a huge amount of data. In Baghdad city, there has been no O-D matrix formulated. Accordingly, a prior O-D matrix is estimated in this study. The present research methodology is based on the estimated O-D matrix for Baghdad city in 1987 (prior matrix) and then updated to 2014 using the collected traffic count data as the basis for travel forecasting. The results of this study provide a guide to the local transportation agencies to select the right transport policies, maximize their revenue and better allocate their resources.

Authors: Mirčetić Dejan , Maslarić Marinko , Nikoličić Svetlana
Published: February 2019

This paper focuses on the application of two approaches: Business Process Redesign (BPR) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in an attempt to enhance the basic logistics processes in inland container terminals. The goal of the paper is to identify the weaknesses and potential problems in the execution of current logistics processes, as well as to redesign such identified weaknesses and problems. The main contribution of the paper is to show how DES and BPR can be used in restructuring of container logistics processes in inland container terminals. Its original feature is a novelty, a holistic approach in rationalization of container logistics processes in inland intermodal terminals, creating models of the current (AS-IS) and improved (TO-BE) states. Models show that DES and BPR represent an easily accessible and effective tool in the analysis of terminal processes in container terminals. Therefore, it can be efficiently used for monitoring the current situation, identification of weak spots in a particular system and for creating any necessary preconditions for improvement of business processes.
Sailor’s Service from Medieval Times to Modern Maritime Labour Conventions
Authors: Bartulović Željko , Aflić Maja
Published: February 2019

The Medieval statutory regulations at the east coast of the Adriatic Sea, especially in Dubrovnik, that are analysed in this article are related to sailor’s service, agreement of service, types of contracts, single voyage contracts, time contracts and profit share, sailors’ working responsibilities, breach of contractual obligations etc., all of which enable an interesting insight and open the question of possible parallels with contemporary seafarers’ labour relations. In 2006, the International Labour Organisation adopted the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) which sets out terms and conditions for employment of seafarers, regarding the minimum age for employment, medical conditions to be met by seafarers, employment of seafarers through an appropriate system with no charge to the seafarers, entitlement to wages in accordance with employment agreements, etc. Special focus is dedicated to their hours of work and rest in order to ensure safety of navigation. MLC entitles seafarers to adequate compensation in cases of injury, loss or unemployment arising from ship’s loss or foundering, in addition to the right to free repatriation of seafarers, except in cases of serious breach of seafarer’s contractual obligations.
Analysis of Navigation Safety Regarding Tankers in Narrow Waterways
Authors: Hasanspahić Nermin , Frančić Vlado , Rudan Igor , Maglić Lovro
Published: February 2019

Sailing of tanker ships in specific navigation areas, such as narrow waterways, is a particularly delicate navigational venture, where one of the greatest related risks is grounding. Grounding of a tanker in a narrow waterway is an event that can cause many adverse consequences, the most important among them being environmental pollution, explosion or onboard fire damaging the ship, injuries and lost lives of crewmembers. Factors affecting the safety of tanker navigation in narrow waterways can be principally divided into geometric, traffic, meteorological and oceanological factors, ship design factors and marine equipment faults as well as human-related factors. With a view to minimizing the possibility of grounding or contact, the assessment of risks is to be considered indispensable and primarily aimed at influencing accident probability and/or consequence factors as its most important objective. The paper analyses the safety of tanker navigation in narrow waterways based on the assessment of risk of grounding. The event influential probability factors that are taken into consideration comprise the narrow waterway category, meteorological and oceanological conditions, traffic density and VTS coverage of the navigable area, while factors such as ship speed, bottom type, hull quality and loading condition are factors related to consequences. Using the risk assessment matrix, estimated values used for evaluation of the safety of tanker navigation in narrow waterways are assigned to probability factors and factors of consequences.
Angiomyolipoma of the Oral Cavity: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Amanpour Sara , Zarei Mohammad Reza , Faryabi Javad , Ahrari Ahmad
Published: February 2019

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare, benign tumor composed of thick-wall blood vessels, smooth muscle component and mature adispose tissue. Differentiation from other benign and malignant mesenchymal lesions of oral cavity depends on recognition of these three histologic components, and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques are also helpful. This tumor arise from perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComas) and kidneys followed by liver are the main locations of this soft tissue tumor. AMLs are rarely found in oral cavity and few case reports of oral AML have been reported in the literature. We report the first case of concurrent occurrence of AML of the tongue and peripheral giant cell granuloma of the gingiva in a 59-year-old patient. Clinically it was presented as a painless nodular mass with a smooth surface on the dorsal of the tongue. Based on histopathologic features and IHC staining the diagnosis of oral AML was done. The other lesion was a small sessile mass in interdental papillae of the lower incisors and microscopic examination showed the histologic features of a peripheral giant cell granuloma. Concurrent occurrence of PGCG which is a reactive mucosal hyperplasia and AML in our patient, could show the probable role of local trauma in the pathogenesis of these lesions.

Para la formulación del instrumento de evaluación se tuvo en cuenta el modelo pedagógico constructivista —sustentado en factores del aprendizaje significativo crítico y en elementos tecnológicos, de contenido y estéticos—, cuya compatibilidad es aportada por metodologías de evaluación de objetos de aprendizaje de LORI, COdA y ECOBA. Como resultado se diseñó y se validó una guía de evaluación de calidad de OVA que contiene una métrica formulada para realizar un estudio estadístico de razón, orientada principalmente a verificar la implementación de lineamientos y derechos básicos de aprendizaje en el contexto educativo colombiano.

Published: February 2019

O presente estudo teve como objetivo averiguar a qualidade institucional e a relação com o desenvolvimento socioeconômico dos municípios do Território do Sisal da Bahia. Para isso, mensurou-se o Índice de Qualidade Institucional Municipal (IQIM) do Ministério do Planejamento do Brasil para o ano 2012. Após, analisou-se a existência da correlação do IQIM com outros índices, como GINI, Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), Produto Interno Bruto (PIB)  e PIB per capita de 2000 e 2012, pelo Coeficiente de Pearson. Os resultados do IQIM apontaram que os municípios do sisal apresentam baixo grau de participação, nível mediano de capacidade financeira e alto nível gerencial e também  correlação linear relevante entre IQIM e PIB, ao contrário do GINI. Tais análises inferem uma relação positiva entre qualidade institucional e riqueza, mas não com distribuição de renda.

This study aims to determine the effect of the inquiry learning model which is integrated through Islamic knowledge on student life skills. The research method used was a quasi-experimental method with a 2x2 factorial research design through a posttest-only control group design procedure. The population in this study were all Semester V students of the PGMI Department of UIN Mataram Academic Year 2017/2018 with 224 students divided into seven different classes. In this study, the samples were students of class V C as the experimental class and students of class V E as the control class. Each class contains 32 students for class VI C and 32 students in class VIE so that the total number of students sampled is 64 students. The research instruments in the form of Islamic knowledge tests, academic skills, personal skills, and vocational skills observation sheets were given at the end of the study. Data from the research results were analyzed by Manava in two ways. The results showed that: 1) the implementation of inquiry-based Science learning models had an effect on student life skills, 2) Islamic knowledge had no effect on student life skills, and 3) There was no interaction effect on the implementation of inquiry-based Science learning models and Islamic knowledge on student life skills. The inquiry-based learning model is an alternative learning model that can be implemented to foster student life skills in college or students in school especially in learning related to science.
Dakwah Strategies of Sharia Tourism: The Case of Gili Air, North Lombok
Authors: Zaenuri Lalu Ahmad
Published: February 2019

For the past few years, Lombok in particular and West Nusa Tenggara in general have not only been known as an island of thousand mosques, but also as a world tourist destination, particularly Shari’a compliance (halal) tourism. With such a new branding, respective stakeholders on the island should therefore make an effort to plan strategies for presenting the concept of halal tourism that serve and benefit both domestic and foreign tourists. Dakwah (Islamic propagation/preaching) can play an important role in strengthening local people’s faith while also balancing between religiosity and tourism. This study looks into how the halal tourism ‘brand’ can be manifested in Gili Air, one of the famous small islands of tourist destination located in the northern part of Lombok. The study reveals that the dakwah strategies for shari’a tourism in Gili Air are carried out through twofold strategies, namely da‘wah bi al-lisān and da‘wah bi al-ḥāl. The first refers to a model where the activities of propagation revolve around preaching of Islamic tenets. The latter emphasizes actualization of Islamic doctrines into daily life.

A Model for Predicting Wine Quality in a Rhône Valley Vineyard
Authors: Abbal Philippe , Sablayrolles Jean‐Marie , Matzner‐Lober Eric , Carbonneau Alain
Published: February 2019

Core Ideas

This modeling study to evaluate wine quality was based on a highly extensive and unique dataset.

The model was validated with the actual scores attributed by the international press.

This work can serve as a basis for studies in other vineyards.

A model was developed as a tool to evaluate wine quality via submodels that represent soil, plants, meteorology, agronomic variables, various vineyard parameters, grape (Vitis vinifera L.) characteristics, and enological practices. The model is based on a highly extensive and unique dataset collected from a single Rhône Valley vineyard (Domaine de Beaurenard) in southern France and the expertise of its winemaker. This modeling study is a first step toward simulating the quality of a wine on the basis of 88 variables in the vineyard and 56 enological variables. The model was validated by comparing the scores predicted by the model with actual scores given by the international press for 49 modeled wines. At the end of the study, the model was compared against other statistical models. Through this model, winemakers can predict future wine quality early and develop improved business strategies. This modeling study was created for and applied directly to the studied situation (Châteauneuf du Pape, Côtes du Rhône, and Rasteau) and is not directly transferable to other situations. Nonetheless, it can serve as a basis for studies in other vineyards because, with the development of precision farming and the multiplication of sensors in agronomy, most wineries will soon have access to the necessary data to model the quality of their wine.
Sunflower Type Influences Yield Prediction using Active Optical Sensors

Core Ideas

Confection sunflower yield was related to active optical sensor readings.

Oilseed sunflower yield was not related to active optical sensor readings.

Oilseed sunflower yield was related to crop height measurements.

Active‐optical (AO) sensors have been used in several crops as a yield‐prediction tool for N management, but not in sunflower (Helianthus annuus). The need for in‐season N and its rate can be determined through using a yield and AO relationship. By comparing predicted yield from an area of sufficient N to another area of the field, the yield difference multiplied by the N required for the additional yield results in the fertilizer N rate. This study was conducted to determine what parameters, including plant height and plant stand, would be most useful in relating AO sensor readings to sunflower yield. The experiments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 on a total of 20 locations in North Dakota. The experimental design was a split‐plot randomized complete block, with six N rates as the main plot treatments and P rate (four in 2015 and two in 2016) as split plot treatment. Since P had no influence on yield, it was ignored in this study. The AO sensors were the GreenSeeker and Holland Crop Circle. The AO sensors were used when the sunflower was at the V6 and V12 growth stages. Manual height and an acoustic height sensor were used on most sites at the time of AO sensor readings. Sensor readings with and without consideration of crop height were subjected to regression analysis with crop yield. The AO sensor readings were related to confection sunflower yield, but not oilseed sunflower yield. Oilseed sunflower yield was most related to crop height.
